Chapter 23 He Wants to Cover the Sky with One Hand
The bloody fight in Hui'an shocked the provincial department, and a series of instructions were issued to the municipal bureau, which immediately launched a large-scale arrest operation.
For a time, the whole city was in a panic. Those who participated in the fight ran away or hid, but even so, the detention center could not accommodate them all.
Zhao Hongqi, who is specifically responsible for cracking down on gangsters and eliminating evil, is under tremendous pressure. He can still withstand the pressure from the provincial department, and the worst that can happen is that he will be dismissed and exiled.
But the pressure from the city was unbearable. The families of the deceased placed wreaths and burned yellow paper in front of the government office and the police station every day, crying and shouting for an explanation from the government.
"Lei Zhen..." Zhao Hongqi gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "I asked you to go undercover, but I didn't let you cause such a big trouble!"
He found out the whole process of the gunfight during the sudden interrogation. Although it had little to do with Lei Zhen, it was indeed caused by this guy.
Moreover, killing dozens of people in one breath, even if it can be judged as self-defense according to procedures, public opinion cannot be violated.
We have to find this guy first!
Zhao Hongqi changed into casual clothes and drove out directly to the Yingzui Road roller skating rink to see if he could find any trace of Lei Zhen there.
As soon as he walked in, his attention was attracted by the brand new computer on the counter.
"Sister Xiaoran, Brother Zhen is so good to you. He even bought you a computer."
"You're still calling me Sister Xiao Ran, but it's obvious that you should be calling me Sister-in-law..."
The envious voices of the two little girls caught Zhao Hongqi's attention. He walked over and saw Xiao Ran in front of the computer. He wanted to kill Lei Zhen directly.
I asked you to be an undercover agent, not to pick up girls!
"Don't talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with Brother Zhen. I'm going home to sleep first."
Xiao Ran got up in a hurry and walked out without even turning on the computer, as if something important had happened.
This situation caught Zhao Hongqi's attention. He followed Xiao Ran and saw his daughter hurried into the clinic. When she came out, she was carrying a large bag of IV bottles.
"Found it."
Zhao Hongqi's sense of smell was so sharp that he made a judgment immediately.
At this time, Xiao Ran had no idea that she was being followed. She only heard about the city-wide shopping spree last night when she was depositing money in the morning.
When I saved the money and returned to the roller skating rink, I received a call from my mother and learned that Lei Zhen was seriously injured. I quickly bought medicine and rushed back.
"Mom, I bought the medicine. Where is Brother Zhen?"
Xiao Ran ran back to her room after returning home. When she opened the bedroom door, she saw Lei Zhen lying naked on the bed with his back covered with hideous knife wounds.
"Thunder!"
Zhao Hongqi walked in and stared at Lei Zhen.
"Who are you? Get out of my house now, or I'll call for help!" Han Shuixian stretched out her arms to block Lei Zhen.
"Shuixian, take Xiaoran to the street to buy some vegetables." Lei Zhen said, "Lock the door and don't go home within an hour.
"But he..."
"roll!"
The voice was quite rough.
But Han Shuixian not only did not feel aggrieved, but even a faint blush appeared on her face, and she seemed to enjoy this feeling.
The mother and daughter went out.
"Lei Zhen, I asked you to go undercover, not to do something this big. Do you know how many people died in the bloody fight last night? Do you know how many people you killed?"
"This incident shocked the provincial government. The family of the deceased burned paper in front of the municipal bureau. All the pressure was put on me..."
Zhao Hongqi was furious. He pointed at Lei Zhen and scolded him harshly. He really had the urge to draw his gun and shoot him.
"Are you done?"
Lei Zhen propped himself up and got up, then picked up a cigarette and lit it.
"You're here to work, not to pick up girls. How can I feel at ease with your attitude..."
"I didn't. Narcissus isn't a girl, she's a woman." Lei Zhen bit his cigarette and smiled, "She can pose..."
“That’s enough!”
Zhao Hongqi waved his hand, anger burning in his eyes.
"Fuck, I'm a gangster!" Lei Zhen pointed at his nose and roared, "If someone attacks me, should I be fucking killed? Your pressure has nothing to do with me. I'm a gangster!"
He was angry too.
After being hacked by hundreds of people and finally escaping, his immediate boss came and got furious with him.
What the hell!
"It wasn't me, Lei Zhen, who begged you to come undercover. You should have understood what kind of person I am before you approached me. You regret it now, don't you?"
"Regret can make me withdraw from the mission, or you can take the lives of those bastards I killed. Anyway, you are righteous."
"Don't just stand there, handcuff me and take me away! What a piece of shit! You can't even get hot eating shit with someone like you. If you can't be the boss, then don't fucking pretend!"
Zhao Hongqi was stunned by the scolding, but his expression softened considerably. He squeezed his facial muscles and gave a wry smile.
The provincial and ministerial leaders scolded him, the director scolded him, the city leaders scolded him, and now he was scolded by his own undercover agent.
The work is hard, too hard.
"Lei Zhen, what I mean is that this matter must be resolved. The provincial government is attaching great importance to it and requires severe punishment, but it is difficult."
Zhao Hongqi took out a cigarette and handed it to Lei Zhen, trying to keep his tone as gentle as possible.
"The environment in Hui'an is too complicated, with many protectors hiding in the dark. We clearly know that this was instigated by Sanluzi and Yan Wu, but there are plenty of people who take the blame for them."
"Many eyes saw you kill someone, and your fingerprints are all over the gun. Do you think we should investigate thoroughly, or should we just put an end to this matter?"
It has been made very clear, Lei Zhen was used as a scapegoat because he killed many people.
The focus can be easily shifted here. As long as Lei Zhen is dealt with, the public anger will be calmed, all parties involved will have an explanation, and everyone will be happy.
"You're not doing so well, are you?" Lei Zhen taunted. "At least you're the Executive Deputy Director, responsible for cracking down on gangs and eliminating evil."
Zhao Hongqi took a deep puff of his cigarette and said helplessly, "I was transferred here by airdrop."
One sentence sums up his situation. After changing jobs, he took up someone else's position, affecting the promotion of a large number of people. Even if he became a general manager, it was useless.
"If you don't handle it well, you will have to step down." Lei Zhen stared at him.
"I intend to withdraw you. I have to take responsibility for you." Zhao Hongqi sighed and said, "As for my exile, it is definitely a done deal."
"Are you giving up now?" Lei Zhen asked.
Zhao Hongqi smiled bitterly. He was not in the habit of admitting defeat, but if he had to choose between keeping his job and being responsible for his undercover work, he would still choose the latter.
"It's not time to admit defeat yet..."
There was a ruthlessness flashing in Lei Zhen's narrowed eyes, and his right index finger tapped the table, making a rhythmic sound.
"Do you have any idea?" Zhao Hongqi asked.
However, he didn't get a response, and his eyes subconsciously stared at the other person's fingers.
The room fell silent, echoing with the sound of tapping fingers.
One minute, two minutes, five minutes...
The knocking sound suddenly stopped, and Lei Zhen finally spoke.
"I want to control the underground forces in Hui'an. I have the final say on all crimes, and you will know all the crimes in advance!"
Zhao Hongqi's pupils contracted: He wants to cover the sky with one hand!
