Chapter 93 Zhao Ruilong's Operation

Chen Hai arrived at Xia Qing's office after get off work hours.

Upon seeing Chen Hai enter, Xia Qing greeted him warmly:

"Chen Hai's back? Sit down. How did the operation go?"

"Very smoothly. Director Qi has taken control of Bozhong Real Estate Agency and discovered evidence that they were extraditing officials with family members abroad and training spies. The list has also been found, involving quite a few people," Chen Hai reported to Xia Qing.

"In addition, I found something of great importance, which I brought back specifically for you to see, without letting anyone else see it."

Xia Qing sat up and asked:

"Take it out and let us see."

Chen Hai remained silent and took an envelope out of his breast pocket.

Xia Qing opened the envelope, and several photos fell out.

Xia Qing picked it up, her eyes involuntarily narrowing slightly.

In the photo, Gao Yuliang is smiling broadly and posing intimately with a young woman.

This woman looks exactly like Gao Xiaoqin from the Shanshui Group.

Chen Hai added:

"I found this photo in the brokerage firm's room and brought it here without giving it to anyone. I originally thought it should be given directly to Inspector Ji and Secretary Tian of the Discipline Inspection Commission. But in the end, I thought it should be shown to you first."

Xia Qing stared at the photo for a long time before slowly saying:

"Chen Hai, well done. What you did was absolutely right."

Hearing Xia Qing's confirmation, Chen Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The fact that Secretary Yuliang's photo was placed in the brokerage company precisely proves that this is incriminating evidence that Du Bozhong has preserved," Xia Qing said in a deep voice.

"If you hand it over to someone else, I'm afraid it will stir up a new storm in Handong and break the hard-won stability."

Chen Hai couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He focused his attention and listened intently to Xia Qing's next move.

"This is a serious matter. I will personally meet with Secretary Yuliang and give him the photos. Don't worry, I won't say that you brought them to me. After all, it's not a big deal for Secretary Yuliang that someone from the Public Security Bureau bypassed Qi Tongwei and handed the items directly to me."

Xia Qing stood up and said.

Chen Hai nodded; he also felt that this was the best way to handle it.

But his intense curiosity compelled him to ask the question he had always wanted to ask:

"Minister, why is Secretary Yuliang also... with Director Qi's... um, girlfriend..."

Xia Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud at Chen Hai's way of speaking, and said:

"Chen Hai, if you want to call someone a lover, just say it. Why are you calling her a girlfriend?"

Chen Hai scratched his head sheepishly. Xia Qing picked up the photo, examined it carefully for a long time, and then slowly put it down, saying:

"This woman is not General Manager Gao from the Shanshui Group."

"Huh?" Chen Hai thought Xia Qing was joking, so he picked up the photo, looked at it several times, and said incredulously:

"Minister, are you serious? This is Gao Xiaoqin!"

"The feeling is different. Gao Xiaoqin is a shrewd businesswoman, while the woman in the photo has a kind of purity that is untouched by the world. Of course, it could also be an act... but these two people definitely give me a different feeling," Xia Qing explained earnestly.

Chen Hai used his imagination and tentatively asked:

"twin?"

Xia Qing nodded and said:

"That's possible. Only they know what happened before. Alright, I'm going to see Secretary Yuliang. You go back and compile a written report on your work in the investigation team. Remember to highlight the key points!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hai immediately became energized, saying:

"clear!"

……

At the same time, Zhao Ruilong was awakened from his sleep by a phone call.

He answered impatiently, and said listlessly:

Who is it?

"It's me, Du Bozhong! Something's happened!" Du Bozhong's shrill voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Bo Zhong Zhong Jie... was completely wiped out by the Public Security Bureau! All the files, weapons, cash, and most importantly, the list—everything was taken by the Public Security Bureau!"

"What's going on!" Zhao Ruilong was instantly wide awake, sat up abruptly in bed, gripped his phone tightly, and felt a chill run through his body.

He suddenly remembered that he had participated in Du Bozhong's business involving officials with family members abroad for a period of time, made some money, and eventually withdrew from the business because the risks were too great.

If Du Bozhong, that venomous snake, has kept the evidence of his partnership from back then, and it happens to be stored at Bozhong Real Estate Agency, and it gets taken away by the Public Security Bureau...

Everything is over!

Zhao Ruilong forced himself to calm down, took a few deep breaths, and tried his best to suppress his emotions before saying:

"Brother, calm down. All that stuff was left at the company? Why didn't you move it sooner…?"

"Damn it, the Organization Department just finished the investigation, and I arranged for them to relocate! Who knew these useless bunch of people would drag their feet like that? Who knows if they were just relocating or moving house! And today, the Public Security Bureau took them all down!" Du Bozhong was already cursing on the phone, then, remembering something, he said anxiously:

"Don't you have dirt on Qi Tongwei? I sent you Gao Yuliang's dirt a few days ago too! Take it and go find them. I'm willing to pay some money to settle this! If they won't, then we're all done playing this game!"

Zhao Ruilong cursed "idiot" in his heart.

Is Du Bozhong really brainless?

Why do you always think about flipping the table?

If the table is really overturned, who will benefit?

In the end, didn't Sha Ruijin and the Zhong family reap the benefits?

Lacking even the most basic common sense, it's no wonder they can only hide abroad and earn money by risking their lives.

Even though he thought this way, Zhao Ruilong couldn't say it out loud. He tried his best to calm himself down, and then, in a reassuring tone, he smiled and said:

"Brother, don't worry. I'll talk to Qi Tongwei right now, so you won't be put in too much trouble."

"That's right! Remember, you also have something with me. Helping me is helping yourself and your Zhao family!" Du Bozhong threatened coldly over the phone before hanging up.

Zhao Ruilong listened to the busy tone of the phone, his face cold.

Du Bozhong really did leave himself a handle.

That damn bastard.

At one point, Zhao Ruilong really wanted to dial a number hidden in his phone that he would never call lightly.

Just because if you make that call, someone will die a violent death.

We're not there yet.

There is still room for negotiation.

Zhao Ruilong stood up and gulped down a large mouthful of ice water.

Then he went to the wardrobe and started looking for a suit.

He was going to see Qi Tongwei.

It's fine if you, Qi Tongwei, help Xia Qing with some things, but you must remember where your roots lie.

The Zhao family.

Only my Zhao family is your heaven, Qi Tongwei.

Do you think that by following Xia Qing, you can get rid of the Zhao family?

No way.

Although my Zhao family cannot push you, Qi Tongwei, a few more steps up the social ladder.

but.

Dragging you, Qi Tongwei, into an abyss would be a piece of cake with the things you have on hand!

Zhao Ruilong looked at himself in the mirror, dressed in a suit and tie, a sinister glint in his eyes.
