Tian Liwei growled harshly: "If you don't do anything I asked you to do, keep your hands and feet under control, or I'll skin you alive!"

Li Kui lowered his head and said in fear, "I understand. I will never act on my own unless you tell me to."

"That's more like it!"

Tian Liwei sat down slowly, pinching his chin in thought: "You should mainly keep an eye on his recent actions and how often he contacts the Xie family in Beijing.

Don't meddle in other people's business. Even if he kills someone or sets a fire, it has nothing to do with you. You just need to report to me in time."

Li Kui nodded vigorously and said very loyally: "Don't worry, I will definitely collect evidence of Xie Lanzhi's crimes and do my best to help you get him out of Yunzhen!"

Not only did Tian Liwei not appreciate it, but he stared at Li Kui like he was a fool.

He pointed at his head and asked in a very speechless manner: "You, is there something wrong here?"

Li Kui said stupidly: "Ah? No."

Tian Liwei tried his best and endured it again and again, but he still couldn't help but growl and curse: "You idiot! I asked you to keep an eye on people, not to do anything tricky, don't you understand?"

After seeing Xie Lanzhi's thundering methods, he was crazy or stupid to provoke Xie Lanzhi.

I'm just afraid that he has really collected evidence of Xie Lanzhi's crime.

Before he could even warm himself up, he was hunted down by the Xie family and nothing was left.

The reason why Tian Liwei has been so successful in the political arena for so many years is not only due to the support of the Jiang family, but also because of his keen sense of crisis.

If before, he thought that Xie Lanzhi, a young boy, had no right to be on equal footing with him, it would be best to secretly exclude him.

Now, he wanted to use Xie Lanzhi to get a piece of the pie, so that when he was transferred back to Beijing in the future, his political achievements would be better.

The Jiang and Xie families will have to clash sooner or later. The Xie family has certain advantages and cannot be offended for the time being.

However, the party that will eventually hold power will definitely be the Jiang family.

By then, he must show off his talents in Beijing and vent all the grievances he suffered in the Xie family.

Xie Lanzhi's office.

Amuti stood at the table and reported: "Since last night, six people have died. Four waiters committed suicide by taking poison, and one of the girls who was rescued and forced to be sold died immediately, and another died on the way to the hospital.

A total of 68 hotel members were arrested last night, of which 12 were involuntarily serving as hostesses. Half of the remaining members volunteered, and the other half were sent in by their families or were paying off debts. "

Xie Lanzhi put the meeting notebook in his hand aside, raised his deep black eyes slightly, and stared at Amuti with cold eyes.

"Do those people know the hotel's top star, what's her name?"

Amuti said: "Yes, it was a woman named Huizi. Qin Baozhu had contact with that woman last night."

Xie Lanzhi's eyes darkened and he asked, "Where's Qin Baozhu?"

Amuti said with contempt, "After being arrested, she refused to cooperate at all. She was clueless when asked. She made a scene at the police station and wanted to see my sister-in-law. Her attitude was extremely bad."

"Lock him up for a while, and don't alert Ah Shu about this matter."

"clear--"

"Send someone to the hotel to look for a basement or something. Since the person hasn't come out, he must still be hiding in there."

Amuti nodded: "Tong Fei and his men are on guard 24 hours a day, and they will conduct surprise searches from time to time."

“Dongdong——”

There was a knock on the door and Li Kui walked in.

Xie Lanzhi saw that his clothes on his chest were wet, and frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Kui wiped it off and said with a smile: "It's just a glass of water splashed on me, it's no big deal..."

He repeated Tian Liwei's words to Xie Lanzhi word for word, and shook his head helplessly: "I can't understand our Secretary Tian at all. He thinks one thing after another, and I don't know what he wants to do."

Amuti sneered: "What can we do? They are just using us as stepping stones."

Tian Liwei looks like a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong, but in fact he is very cunning and is good at making jokes.

Xie Lanzhi pondered, "Tian Liwei may seem smart, but he's actually a fool! His mind hasn't been clouded by the word 'profit' yet. But he's a member of the Jiang family after all, so just remember not to get too close to him on weekdays."

Amuti said indignantly: "I think he is a complete villain! Qi Mingwei was schemed against to this extent, and he didn't say a word! He is a complete accomplice."

Xie Lanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked calmly, "If someone were to compete with the Xie family, do you think the Xie family's affiliated forces would stand by and watch, or would they choose to help the Xie family's opponents?"

"That must be..." Amuti stopped talking suddenly.

Xie Lanzhi's voice was calm and patient: "Put yourself in his shoes. What Tian Liwei did was indeed unrighteous, but as a relative of the Jiang family, he is closer to the Jiang family than those affiliated with the Jiang family. Everything must be done in the interests of the Jiang family."

What he didn't say was that if it really came to a life-or-death moment, he might be even more... ruthless than Tian Liwei.

People are like this. They can never empathize with others unless it has anything to do with their own interests.

Xie Lanzhi lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, hiding the ambition that should not be underestimated.

He would never let the Xie family fall into a passive position and would strangle any crisis in the cradle before it occurred.

Family compound.

Qin Shu was lying on the sofa, holding a fruit plate, and watching the commercials on the color TV.

The advertisements of this era are long, but the content is rich, which makes people patient to watch them.

"Madam, what would you like for dinner? I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some food."

When Qin Shu heard about food, she slowly sat up straight: "I want to eat meat, stewed ribs or small stewed meat."

Auntie Hua smiled and said, "I'll make it for you. We have some ready-made meat in the refrigerator."

Qin Shu showed a playful smile on her face: "I also want to eat the vegetables you stir-fried."

"good--"

Sister Hua responded to Qin Shu's every request as if she was coaxing a child.

After the stewed meat and spareribs were ready, the whole building was filled with the rich aroma of meat.

“Boom boom!!!”

"Sister-in-law, are you home?"

Just as the food was placed on the table, there was a knock on the door. It was Qi Mingwei.

Qin Shu supported her pregnant belly and tried to stand up to open the door, but was quickly held down by Ahua's wife.

"You eat first, I'll go open the door."

After a while, Qi Mingwei, wearing gray satin pajamas and with an unshaven beard, was led into the restaurant.

"Wow! There really is something delicious! I could tell from the smell that it was food from my brother-in-law's family."

Qi Mingwei sat across from Qin Shu in a very familiar manner and said to Sister Hua, "Hurry up and give me a bowl of rice. I haven't eaten all day and I'm so hungry that my stomach has been aching all afternoon."

He didn't even wash his hands and reached out to pinch the ribs on the plate.

Qin Shu's pupils trembled, and the chopsticks in her hand tapped the acupoints on the back of Qi Mingwei's hand.

"Ouch!!!"

Qi Mingwei quickly withdrew his hand, rubbed the back of his hand, and stared at Qin Shu with accusatory eyes.
