Chapter 11 Pretending to be cool is addictive
"Listen up, kid. There's no one in Jingzhou that I, Lu Peng, can't touch. Think about it carefully; do you want to go against me?"
Qi Tongwei spat on the ground. "Then listen up, I, Qi Tongwei, specialize in dealing with little thugs like you who act all high and mighty."
"Big brother, I promise I'll make this kid beg for mercy on his knees."
Baldy couldn't take it anymore. Qi Tongwei was too damn outrageous. Who was really in the underworld here?
"You bald bastard, what kind of guy are you? You still listen to your boss? I'm ashamed of you."
Qi Tongwei launched into a tirade, clearly not one to shy away from making things worse.
Qin Xue took a few steps back to avoid getting blood on herself. She couldn't understand what Qi Tongwei had gone through after being exiled to Yantai Mountain, and why he had become so irritable.
I'll kill you.
The bald man was so angry that he went berserk, but Lu Peng grabbed him and pulled him back.
"Don't fall for this kid's tricks. This is a detention center. You want to go in?"
"Brother, so what if I go in? It's not like I haven't been in there before."
Baldy couldn't swallow this insult; he now wished he could crush Qi Tongwei into a ball.
"You bald bastard, are you even capable of anything? Stop yelling and threatening, or I'm leaving!"
Qi Tongwei continued to provoke, utterly despicable.
Qin Xue took two more steps back. Qi Tongwei was relentless; it seemed a fight was inevitable today.
Lu Peng is now in a bit of a predicament; this is the first time he's encountered someone so ungrateful.
Immediately, the detention center door opened, and two policemen came out, which could be considered as giving Lu Peng a way out.
If Qi Tongwei provokes him again, he will have no choice but to take action.
The policeman yelled, "What are you doing? Want to come in and sit down?"
"Officer, it's a misunderstanding. We were just having a chat with the prosecutor."
Lu Peng forced a smile, but even in broad daylight in front of the police, he still had to restrain himself.
"Officer, you've come at the right time. This bald guy wants to spar with me. Why don't you two be witnesses? If I end up in the hospital, don't come after me for medical expenses; my salary is low."
Qi Tongwei was so obnoxious that the police were so angry they wanted to call the police.
"You're a prosecutor, breaking the law knowingly is an aggravated offense, don't you know that?"
Qi Tongwei suddenly realized, "I forgot, I forgot, I completely forgot I'm a prosecutor! If that's the case, this bald guy is assaulting a public official, which is no small crime."
The police have never seen such a shameless prosecutor.
"Alright, alright, let's go, don't cause trouble."
"Officer, thank you for your hard work."
The police were speechless; he was so damn fickle.
Qi Tongwei rode the second-hand motorcycle he bought yesterday, revved the engine, and drove up to Qin Xue.
Qin Xue sat down and grabbed the back.
"Brother Peng, Baldy, you're welcome to come see me at the procuratorate anytime."
Qi Tongwei finished speaking and strode away.
Lu Peng smiled and handed the policeman a cigarette.
"Officer, this prosecutor is really something!"
The policeman took the cigarette. "I don't know who they are, but they're incredibly fierce."
Lu Peng laughed heartily, "He's absolutely ferocious!"
"You should leave quickly too."
"Okay, officer."
Inside the Santana, the bald man grew angrier the more he thought about it. "Brother, let's chase after him and run that bastard over."
Lu Peng grabbed the bald man's head and shook it violently a few times.
"Can't you use your brain for once? All you ever do is fight and kill."
"Brother, I just can't swallow this insult."
"What's the rush? You'll have your chance to vent your anger eventually."
Back at the prosecutor's office, Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "Junior, I'll treat you to dinner after this case is finished. You saw for yourself, those people aren't easy to deal with, so stay away from me."
Qin Xue was speechless. When did I ever want to get closer to you?
The news spread quickly, and the procuratorate and the court knew that Qi Tongwei had become Duan Xiaojun's lawyer.
Judge Wu had someone check, and it turned out that Qi Tongwei did indeed have a lawyer's license and had even worked at a law firm.
Judge Wu was so angry that he immediately called Ji Changming.
"Old Ji, are you trying to infuriate me? That kid became Duan Xiaojun's lawyer, and he's going to appear in my courtroom."
Ji Changming had no choice but to pretend to be clueless. "Senior, I just found out about this myself. I'll reprimand him immediately and tell him to stop messing around."
Judge Wu slammed down the phone; she knew Ji Changming was the kind of person who liked to play games.
"Did you hear that, you brat? I'm going to get yelled at too, I've lost all face!"
Qi Tongwei quickly put on a smiling face, "Inspector Ji, it's my fault, entirely my fault. I'll go to the market tomorrow and buy you an old hen to help you recover."
Ji Changming pointed fiercely at Qi Tongwei, "I think you should buy two pounds of walnuts to nourish your brain. You insist on arguing with people; you're the only one in the entire procuratorate who's capable."
Qi Tongwei immediately straightened his attitude, "Prosecutor Ji, I deeply realize my mistake. I'm sorry, my recklessness has implicated the procuratorate."
Seeing Qi Tongwei's attitude, Ji Changming swallowed back the harsh words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"I knew it. You're all talk and no action, all you do is admit your guilt and show no remorse. So, tell me, how do you want to investigate?"
Qi Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief. He guessed that Ji Changming was still somewhat wary. After all, Ji Changming was someone recommended by the top leader, so he had to give him face. In that case, he shouldn't be blamed for taking advantage of Ji Changming's power.
"As Duan Xiaojun's lawyer, I first need to go to the police station to communicate with them. I'll need to get a word in with Prosecutor Ji, otherwise I'm afraid I won't even be able to get through the police station."
"Secondly, I want to go to Duan Hong's workplace to investigate. If Duan Xiaojun isn't the murderer, then the murderer is very likely someone they know. Of course, the possibility of a random crime cannot be ruled out."
“Chief Prosecutor Ji, you have to believe me. I really didn’t want to show off. Everyone’s life is precious. Although justice may be delayed, it will never be absent. But delayed justice means someone’s entire life, perhaps from youth to old age.”
The phrase "from youth to old age" resonated deeply with Ji Changming, who also longed for a world without wrongful convictions.
"You've got guts, kid. I'll give you the green light this time. I'll put in a good word with the police station, but you'd better watch out for Duan Hong's workplace. Don't think you're so tough; even the best martial artist is afraid of a kitchen knife."
"Thank you, Inspector Ji. I will definitely do my job well."
"Go away, go away, seeing you annoys me."
Qi Tongwei returned to his office and bumped into Fan Youliang.
"Our great hero is back! Let's give him a round of applause!"
Gao Qi was the first to applaud, "Great hero! The propaganda department wants you to take photos tomorrow. You'll get a hero's title for your act of bravery, plus a million-yuan bonus. How enviable!"
Qi Tongwei coughed twice and then spoke nonsense with a straight face, "I originally wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, but what I got in return was estrangement and suspicion. I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table, I'm a millionaire."
Upon hearing this, Gao Qi and Fan Youliang were so angry they wanted to hit someone, completely becoming the background for Qi Tongwei's arrogance.
Qin Xue couldn't help but laugh out loud in the office for the first time in many years.
Zhou Mei couldn't help but laugh; Qi Tongwei had completely turned into a weirdo since his return.
Qi Tongwei pressed his advantage, "Junior, I'm going to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to check Duan Xiaojun's file later. Are you free? Let's go together."
"it is good"
"Oh no, Qin Xue, you've changed! Why did you go out with Qi Tongwei?"
Gao Qi jumped out, heartbroken. Every time he asked Qin Xue to go out, he was always rejected.
"Gao Qi, I think you're asking for trouble. You talk about normal work as if it's something shameful."
That's not what I meant; you're slandering me.
Gao Qi panicked; this was clearly a trap deliberately set by Qi Tongwei.
Fan Youliang was furious. "Don't they even consider me their leader anymore? Did they even get my permission?"
