Chapter 185 Kidnapping
After leaving Qi Tongwei's ward, Gao Yuliang went straight to Cheng Du's ward.
To be precise, it's a form of detention.
Gao Yuliang wants to have a good talk with Cheng Du, hoping to get some information that will be enough to get Qi Tongwei's recording in return.
Gao Yuliang also wondered what if there really wasn't any bombshell news from Chengdu?
Then we'll have to take some tough measures against Zhao Ruilong, who's been detained.
No matter what, even if it offends Zhao Lichun.
We must also protect Qi Tongwei and the vice-provincial level position he worked so hard to obtain!
Gao Yuliang had made up his mind.
As I was pondering this, I unknowingly arrived in front of Cheng Du's ward.
Two policemen were guarding the door.
Gao Yuliang was about to go in when he saw two policemen looking troubled and gesturing towards the house.
Gao Yuliang was taken aback, and then he saw Xia Qing walk out from inside.
When Xia Qing saw Gao Yuliang approaching, she acted as if nothing had happened, exhaling a breath and rubbing her hands together, saying:
"Ah, Secretary Yuliang is here? I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd come and see Cheng Du. Speaking of which, although he asked me for help a long time ago, and I arranged for him to be assigned to Qi Tongwei, this is actually the first time I've met him, haha!"
With that, Xia Qing walked away on her own.
Gao Yuliang watched Xia Qing leave, frowning as he looked at the two policemen at the door.
The two explained with long faces.
There was nothing they could do; if a member of the provincial standing committee wanted to go in and inspect the situation, they couldn't stop him!
Gao Yuliang didn't want to pursue the matter any further and went inside.
On the hospital bed, Cheng Du was receiving an IV drip, and sensation had been restored to his lower limbs.
The burned skin was also treated with medicine.
Although he was a patient, his hands were handcuffed and firmly locked to the bed railing.
When Cheng Du saw Gao Yuliang come in, he didn't greet him respectfully as he usually did.
As if he didn't care at all, he merely glanced up and then lowered his head again.
Gao Yuliang unconsciously raised his eyebrows; he was quite surprised by Cheng Du's attitude.
This was not the time to dwell on such trivial matters. Gao Yuliang pulled up a chair, sat down, and was about to speak.
Without even looking up, Cheng Du said:
"Secretary Yuliang, I would like to see Governor Qi."
Gao Yuliang's half-open mouth froze in place, his patience nearly exhausted, and he said with some dissatisfaction:
"Du Cheng, do you think now is the time to negotiate?"
Du Cheng was not overwhelmed by Gao Yuliang's imposing manner; he simply repeated:
"I want to see Governor Qi. I won't say a word unless it's him."
Gao Yuliang jumped up, ready to lash out.
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he was ultimately held back by his powerful emotional control.
Now is definitely not the time to clash with Cheng Du.
Before obtaining the desired information.
Regarding the degree of severity, one can only refrain from being hasty and exercise patience.
"Okay, I'll let him see you."
Gao Yuliang forced a smile.
Unfortunately, Gao Yuliang found it difficult to remain restrained when it came to Qi Tongwei.
The recording of Ding Yizhen was secretly played, and Zhao Ruilong might expose it at any time.
The most urgent task now is to get information from Cheng Du that is equivalent to the recording and that is incriminating evidence against Zhao Ruilong. The sooner the better!
Gao Yuliang gave Cheng Du a deep look before leaving the ward.
About twenty minutes later, Qi Tongwei arrived at Cheng Du's ward, escorted by two police officers.
When Cheng Du saw Qi Tongwei enter, he felt a moment of joy.
But it was a fleeting emotion; he still faced Qi Tongwei with a detached and calm demeanor.
Qi Tongwei was happy to come and see Chengdu.
When he saw Cheng Du's hands cuffed to the railing, he couldn't help but frown.
Yes, Cheng Du is a criminal, a traitor who betrayed him.
But Qi Tongwei couldn't bring himself to hate Cheng Du.
Perhaps those who have worked under Zhao Ruilong will share some common experiences.
Qi Tongwei wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he heard Cheng Du clearly utter:
"Governor Qi."
At that moment, Qi Tongwei felt as if his heart had been lifted high and then plummeted.
He knew he would never have this younger brother again.
The room returned to silence, broken only by the dripping of the IV drip.
"Governor Qi, I'm so sorry."
Cheng Du raised his head and said dejectedly:
"I have no way to repay your great kindness to me."
Qi Tongwei shook his head and comforted him:
"No, it hasn't come to that yet."
Cheng Du didn't answer, but instead shook the handcuffs on his wrists and said:
"Governor Qi, I'd like to have a cigarette."
Qi Tongwei was taken aback, then, as if he had made up his mind, he waved his hand and said to the policeman beside him:
"Open it for him."
The policeman said with a troubled expression:
"Governor..."
"Open it!" Qi Tongwei shouted angrily, and the policeman quickly took out his key and unlocked Cheng Du's handcuffs.
The other police officer kept his hands hanging down out of sight, gripping his gun in case of emergency.
After regaining his freedom, Cheng Du simply shook himself and reached out his hand to Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei handed him a cigarette and a lighter.
He took the light, lit it, and inhaled deeply.
The smoke swirled around, creating an ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere.
"Governor Qi, there are some things I can only say to you. It won't do them any good if they hear them."
Cheng Du glanced at the policeman next to Qi Tongwei and said calmly.
Qi Tongwei agreed, finding the statement reasonable. Indeed, some things are better left unknown to most people, so he stated in an unquestionable tone:
"Go out and keep watch."
The two policemen exchanged a glance, then had no choice but to leave the room and close the door behind them.
Only Qi Tongwei and Cheng Du remained in the room.
Du Cheng stubbed out his cigarette and whispered:
"Governor Qi, please come closer, I have a secret about Zhao Ruilong to tell you..."
Qi Tongwei, unsuspecting, sat on the hospital bed and leaned forward.
next moment.
The gun barrel was pressed against Qi Tongwei's temple.
To his horror, he discovered that Cheng Du was holding the small pistol he had previously hidden in his boot.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Du seized the gun while he was unconscious and hid it in his shoe as well.
When he was brought to the hospital, Cheng Du had lost consciousness in his lower limbs and had multiple burns on his body. Who would have thought that under such circumstances, he could still have a handgun hidden in his shoe!
This was a real miscalculation!
Cheng Du held a gun to Qi Tongwei's right hand, while his left hand tightened around Qi's neck from behind. His face was expressionless as he said:
"Take me out of here."
Qi Tongwei raised his hands, trying his best to remain calm, and said:
"Don't make the same mistake again."
"I had no choice before, and I still have no choice now." Cheng Du's tone was full of sorrow as he directed Qi Tongwei to stand up and walk outside.
The moment the ward door opened, the police officers guarding outside were stunned.
Cheng Du, armed with a gun, took the vice governor, who was also their public security chief, hostage.
The police officers quickly raised their guns, but then heard Cheng Du shout:
"Put your guns down! I'm a former narcotics officer, and my skills are no worse than yours! If you dare to shoot me, I can pull the trigger before I die and smash your director's head in!"
Several young police officers were indeed intimidated by Cheng Du's imposing manner. In addition, Cheng Du had always been highly regarded by Director Cheng. As if possessed, they all put down their guns and watched helplessly as Cheng Du took Qi Tongwei hostage and walked towards the elevator!
After Cheng Du and Qi Tongwei had walked away, one of the police officers immediately reported via walkie-talkie:
"Emergency situation! Cheng Du has taken Governor Qi hostage at gunpoint and is already inside the elevator!"
