Chapter 110: Almost Stabbed His Waist Lu Xuesong was stunned, his eyes flickered, and he opened his mouth to say something. Ning Weidong didn't wait for him to say anything, and interrupted him, "Don't say you don't have it. Don't lie to me. It won't do you any good." The cold tone and sinister eyes showed that the man in front of him was completely different from the man who had just given him the job, the house, and the gold. Lu Xuesong shuddered, put away his clever thoughts, and stammered: "Leader, I...I have it, I put it in..." Ning Weidong listened to Lu Xuesong stammering as he began to talk about the evidence he had secretly left behind, as well as a series of circumstances that had occurred at the time. Ning Weidong and Zhang Dajun listened carefully. After Lu Xuesong finished speaking, Ning Weidong looked at Zhang Dajun: "Negligence, detention, intimidation... It is reasonable to suspect that the deaths of Lu Yong and Zhan Shengli are related to Wang Kaifeng." There is nothing wrong with the previous ones, but the last one is a false accusation. But there is absolutely no problem in using it. It would be clear if you just check whether it exists or not. Ning Weidong then looked at Lu Xuesong and said in a deep voice, "If I ask you to sue Wang Kaifeng, do you dare?"
Lu Xuesong's heart skipped a beat. He had been a good student since he was young and his brain worked quickly. In fact, when Ning Weidong gave him three conditions in a row, he knew that today's matter was not that simple. If you just want the evidence in his hand, or something else, you don't have to give so much. Ning Weidong gave too much, especially the heavy gold bar in his hand at the end, which even made him feel like he was paying for his life. Sure enough, what he said at this time was the most crucial thing. Ning Weidong asked him to sue Wang Kaifeng as a family member of the victim. Lu Xuesong fell into deep thought. He was not afraid. At this point, fear was of no use. It was like riding a tiger and being unable to back down. I have said so much just now. Can you let him go if he says he won’t go to Ning Weidong? After being tortured by Wang Kaifeng for the past two years, he has long lost the innocence that he should have at this age. He was weighing the chances of success of doing this and whether he would have a chance to get out once he was trapped. Also, are the three conditions that Ning Weidong just promised enough for him to risk his life? Lu Xuesong didn't think about it for long, just over a minute, and then he made up his mind: "I'll go!" As the old saying goes, fortune and honor are achieved through risk. Lu Xuesong just thought of one question: if he backed down this time, would there be another opportunity similar to this one in his life? His answer was, if you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. To put it bluntly, this opportunity was bought with his father's life. He only has one biological father in his life. And once it's done, he will most likely get more than just the three conditions Ning Weidong promised, there is also an important thing Ning Weidong didn't mention, which is that as long as he performs well and shows certain talents, he can rely on Ning Weidong. This is the most important thing! In Lu Xuesong's eyes, Wang Kaifeng has become an unattainable big boss. Now Ning Weidong wants to overthrow Wang Kaifeng. They are at least of the same level, and Ning Weidong is still so young. Although Lu Xuesong didn't know Ning Weidong's specific background, it was definitely not simple. So, he decided to give it a try this time.
If he succeeds, his life and even the fate of his family may change. As for losing... a lost head will only leave a scar the size of a bowl. Ning Weidong met Lu Xuesong's vicious gaze and a smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand and patted his shoulder, causing Lu Xuesong to stagger. He laughed and said, "Very good! That's the look. A real man is born between heaven and earth, and he must be ruthless. He must be ruthless to his enemies and even more ruthless to himself!" After that, he turned to look at Zhang Dajun: "Brother Zhang, you are a professional. Do you think the information we have now is enough to catch Wang Kaifeng?" Zhang Dajun frowned and pondered, then clicked his tongue for a while. "It's hard to say. In principle, it's enough, but... Wang Kaifeng's identity is there after all, and it's all work-related, so there's a lot of flexibility. Normally, if we're investigating a case, I don't recommend arresting him. Once the other party makes a move, it will be difficult for us to detain him, and we'll be in a passive position, unless..." Having said this, Zhang Dajun stopped abruptly. Ning Weidong took over his words: "Unless you have a big enough reputation!" Zhang Dajun nodded. As long as the name is big enough, even if the other side uses force to rescue people, they have to wait until the situation is thoroughly investigated. If something really happens, who will take responsibility! Ning Weidong smiled, this is exactly the right topic right now. Chu Zhongxin is investigating the case of Deputy Factory Director Liu. If there are any clues pointing to the relationship between Wang Kaifeng and Deputy Factory Director Liu...they are both from the same factory, they see each other every day. It makes sense for a deputy factory director and a deputy director to be in cahoots with each other, right? Of course, after some investigation, it doesn’t matter that Wang Kaifeng has no relationship with Deputy Director Liu. It would be enough to use this name to trap him and make him afraid to act rashly. Use the gained time to confirm other charges. It’s just a matter of whether Chu Zhongxin is willing to do so. After all, if he does this, Chu Zhongxin will be under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, Ning Weidong now has a buff, which was conveyed by Wang's father through Wang Yuzhen, allowing Ning Weidong to go ahead and do it, and he will take responsibility if anything goes wrong. No matter what the old man's considerations were for saying this, Ning Weidong could use chicken feathers as a token of authority. "There's no time to lose, let's go now!" Having made up his mind, Ning Weidong waved his hand and immediately rushed out of the guesthouse. Let Ning Wei give the bicycle to Lu Xuesong, and Ning Wei take Liu Dong back to follow up on He Yongbiao's situation. Ning Weidong and Zhang Dajun took Lu Xuesong with them, and the three of them went overnight to retrieve the evidence hidden by Lu Xuesong, and then went straight to Chu Zhongxin's home. …… At the same time, on the other side, before Ning Wei and Liu Dong went back, Wang Weiran had already led his men into action. Including Wang Weiran, a total of six people from the Security Department were lying in ambush in an alley in the family quarters outside the Red Star Factory. Although strictly speaking, this place is outside the factory, in fact the security of the nearby family quarters is also the responsibility of the Security Department. The factory area is mainly populated by factory employees and their families, and the Security Department is more effective than the police station. After all, the police station only has two options: arrest or imprison. But when it comes to the Security Department, there are too many methods.
Wang Weiran was eager to try. Among the four people in the previous workshop, he has the least presence. Liu Dong tried his best and now has become Ning Wei's follower, and has established himself by Ning Weidong's side. Xia Dongqiang has both the qualifications and some prestige in the Security Department, so the dozen or so new recruits are all willing to get along with him. On the contrary, Wang Weiran has never shown his face in front of Ning Weidong except to buy a few packs of cigarettes. Although he looks heartless, he is not stupid and wants to find an opportunity to create a better way out for the future. Just when he was worried that he had no chance, Ning Wei suddenly called him over and asked him to lead a team to capture He Yongbiao. Wang Weiran suddenly perked up and realized this was an opportunity. Factory residential areas are different from the slums in the city. Most of the shantytowns were the large courtyards with tall gates in the past, while the factory family quarters were built in the 1950s and 1960s. Each family’s yard is not big, but each has its own door and is more comfortable to live in than a shantytown. Wang Weiran led his men along the alley and came to an outdoor room in the middle. The lights were on in the room, and even though it was winter, you could hear someone shouting inside with the windows and doors closed. Wang Weiran said to the person behind him: "Follow the plan!" After finishing the job, he rushed forward, reached the door, raised his foot and kicked the door open. There were about ten people in the room, most of them were from Workshop 4, and two were from outside. The crowd gathered around two tables, and were still shouting and throwing poker cards when Wang Weiran and his men rushed in. The loud noise of kicking the door startled everyone and they suddenly looked towards the door. Wang Weiran yelled, "Everyone from the Security Department, get down!" The people in the house suddenly reacted, not caring about anything else. Some of them reacted quickly and rushed towards the window, trying to break it and escape. But as soon as he opened the window, he saw two people blocking the way outside, holding batons, waiting there. Inside the house, Wang Weiran pulled out his gun and yelled, "Everyone get down here! If anyone moves again, I'll shoot him!" When the gang saw that they had fired guns, they were immediately confused. They didn't understand why they were just playing poker. In fact, Wang Weiran was just threatening. If someone was really stubborn, he wouldn't dare to shoot. But it was scary enough. It was just a game of poker, not a capital crime, so it was not worth taking the risk. They haven't realized yet that this time the situation is different from before. If it were as it had been in the past, if the Security Department caught him, they would have given him criticism and education, and fined him two months' bonus. But the purpose this time was not to catch them, but to target He Yongbiao. He Yongbiao was squatting among a few people, cursing his bad luck in his heart. He had a good hand of cards just now, and if he could have played it all, he would definitely have won big. Now it was all messed up. Wang Weiran put away his gun, glanced at a few people, and his gaze lingered on He Yongbiao for two seconds.
He Yongbiao looked up and tried to get close to him with a smile when he saw that it was him, but Wang Weiran looked away expressionlessly. After confirming that He Yongbiao was among the group, Wang Weiran sent him to the police station as planned without saying anything. During this process, the person who was previously arranged to deliberately instigate He Yongbiao to come today will disappear quietly. There was quite a commotion just now. When the person was being escorted out, a lot of people gathered outside. They were all nearby residents, talking and pointing. Just at this moment, Ning Wei and Liu Dong came over on a bicycle. After seeing Wang Weiran and confirming that He Yongbiao had been captured, the two men breathed a sigh of relief. …… At the same time, in the cadre building of the Red Star Factory. Wang Kaifeng was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and arranging chess records on the coffee table in the living room. At this moment, the phone in the study rang. Wang Kaifeng frowned, put down the chess piece in his hand, stood up and picked it up. "Hello, I'm Wang Kaifeng." The voice was steady and deep. Feng Wen's voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello, uncle, this is Xiao Wen. I just heard that the Security Department arrested He Yongbiao from Workshop 4 during a gambling bust tonight." Wang Kaifeng didn't make a fuss after hearing this. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Ning Weidong's movements were quite fast. He cut it off just as he let it go." Feng Wen said: "Uncle, what should we do? Should we..." Wang Kaifeng said calmly, "What does He Yongbiao's playing with money have to do with us? If they want to arrest him, then they can do it. If they have the ability, they can arrest everyone in Workshop 4." Feng Wencai realized that Wang Kaifeng had given up on He Yongbiao, and subconsciously said, "But He Yongbiao is our man after all, so we just ignore him?" Wang Kaifeng sneered, "Our people? Who admitted it? When did a gambler with a brain full of mud become one of ours?" On the other end of the phone, Feng Wen suddenly fell silent. Wang Kaifeng asked: "Is there anything else?" Feng Wen said "Uh", and said quickly: "Oh, uncle, they arrested the man but didn't take him back to the factory. It seems they sent him directly to the police station." Wang Kaifeng frowned, but didn't say much. He just said "I know" and hung up the phone. However, he didn't go back to the living room, but lit a cigarette on the spot. It was not unexpected that Ning Weidong dealt with He Yongbiao. He even expected to take advantage of He Yongbiao's weakness of loving to play poker. But he was somewhat surprised that Ning Weidong was so cruel and sent him directly to the police station. In the past, such matters were handled internally within the factory, after all, family disgrace should not be made public. Ning Weidong's actions were tantamount to breaking the tacit understanding of the past and committing a big taboo. Normally speaking, not only he but also Director Li would not agree. Because once the tacit understanding of the past is broken, it would be equivalent to handing over the jurisdiction of the family quarters outside the factory to the police station.
And power comes with interests. There are several thousand households around the factory, including their families, totaling 50,000 to 60,000 people. How can they just let go? Under normal circumstances, Wang Kaifeng would have been able to kill Ning Weidong with just this one stupid move. Unfortunately, this is not possible now, as the current dispute has already gone beyond the scope of the factory. Neither Li Weibing nor Wang Guoqiang is the protagonist or player of this game. Now the problem has risen to a new level. The two parties in the game do not care about the interest structure of Red Star Factory itself, nor do they care whether such interests are damaged. It was also for this reason that Ning Weidong dared to ask Ning Wei to send the arrested person directly to the police station. To put it bluntly, those who care don't care, and those who care don't care. Wang Kaifeng narrowed his eyes and looked out the window. Although he didn't care about He Yongbiao's life or death, he was a little confused by the fact that Ning Weidong acted so quickly, accurately and ruthlessly this time, and completely disregarded the previous unspoken rules. Did Ning Weidong see through everything, or was it just an accident? He didn't know that while he was still worrying about He Yongbiao, Ning Weidong's knife was almost stabbing his waist. …… It's almost ten o'clock in the evening. Ning Weidong, Zhang Dajun and Lu Xuesong came to the city bureau staff quarters. Ning Weidong did not go in rashly. He asked Zhang Dajun and Lu Xuesong to wait while he went in alone. Everyone in the family compound is from the same unit, so you can't tell what kind of complicated relationships there are. Many things fail because of the details. Therefore, the more critical the moment, the more careful you should be. The second time I came here, the procedure was similar to the last time. I registered at the door first and then called. However, this time Ning Weidong did not go in, but directly called Chu Zhongxin out. "Fourth brother~" Seeing Chu Zhongxin, Ning Weidong immediately took two steps forward. Chu Zhongxin asked seriously, "What's going on?" Just now, Ning Weidong said on the phone that he had something important to discuss with him, but he didn't say what it was specifically. Ning Weidong pulled Chu Zhongxin aside, left the gate of the family compound, and explained it briefly under the trees on the roadside. Finally, he said, "Fourth brother, success or failure depends on you." Chu Zhongxin frowned. Although Ning Weidong's words were concise, his meaning was very clear. He said in a deep voice: "You want me to arrest Wang Kaifeng in the name of the special task force?" Ning Weidong nodded and said bluntly: "It is difficult for us to arrest Wang Kaifeng based on Lu Xuesong's confession. I need a hat with enough weight so that no one can plead for him."
Chu Zhongxin said in a deep voice: "In this case... it's not impossible, but it's just a stopgap measure. Without complete evidence, we can only detain him for two days, or at most three days." Ning Weidong breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect Chu Zhongxin to be so straightforward. He had prepared a lot of arguments to convince Chu Zhongxin, but it was wasted. Ning Weidong said, "Three days is enough! Fourth brother, as long as you can hold on for three days, you can find out what's going on with Lu Xuesong. By then, even if Wang Kaifeng can clear his connection with Deputy Director Liu, it will be too late." Chu Zhongxin said: "There is no time to lose, let's prepare overnight and arrest him tomorrow morning!" The two of them reached an agreement in less than ten minutes, then met up with Zhang Dajun and Lu Xuesong and went straight to the Municipal Bureau. …… The next morning, the news that He Yongbiao and his gang were caught playing poker yesterday spread throughout the factory. When we arrested people last night, many people were watching, so it was naturally no secret. But after arresting the person, sending him directly to the police station caused quite a bit of controversy. There are many people in the factory who blame the Security Department. We all work in the same factory, so why go to such extremes? Besides, it’s just playing poker, it’s not a big deal. Generally speaking, people who say this are those who have also played the game, but they were just lucky and didn't catch it this time, and they are afraid that it will happen to them next time. There is another theory, which says that the person was not sent by the Security Department, but that the police station was the main force this time, and the Security Department was just cooperating. There was nothing wrong with the police station taking the person away. Ning Weidong had someone release this news to confuse people and prevent it from forming a one-sided public opinion and being used by those with ulterior motives. However, the discussions of the people below had no impact on the factory office building at all. Although they entered through the same gate and were in the same factory area, there was an invisible gap between the workers in the factory office building and those in the workshop. Even when I came to work this morning, many people in the building had no idea what happened last night. However, several factory managers on the top floor had already received the news. …… In Director Li’s office. Li Weibing stood by the window as usual, smoking and watching the workers at the South Gate walking in. This is a habit he has developed over the past decade. When he sees those people pouring into the factory, he can feel a sense of power. Li Peihang sat on the sofa and looked at him. After a while, Li Weibing put out his cigarette butt into the pot of Clivia on the windowsill and said in a deep voice, "Hand He Yongbiao over to the police station directly. What do Ning Weidong and the others want to do?" After years of getting along, Li Peihang could hear the suppressed anger in Li Weibing. ------ I'd like to clarify that I have to go to the hospital for some business these two days, so the update may not be stable and it will take at most three days to return to normal.
