I really don't want to be an official if I transmigrate into Qi Tongwei's life.

Chapter 242 Preparing to Crack Down on Underground Casinos

Police have no reason to be afraid of criminals, and besides, Qi Tongwei couldn't swallow this insult. "Damn it, how dare you assassinate me? I'll show you what the state apparatus is all about."

"Director Ye, even if that mysterious drug lord, Fifth Master, isn't Qiu Jinkun, they're both operating in Tianhe City. There must be some connection between them. If I take this opportunity to take down Qiu Jinkun's underground casino, he'll suffer heavy losses. The fastest way to make up for losses at a casino is through drug trafficking."

"You're deliberately stirring up trouble to lure the snake out of its hole."

Qi Tongwei wasn't so sure. "Director Ye, that drug lord, Fifth Master, is too mysterious. Nightclubs are hotbeds for drug trafficking. I don't believe Qiu Jinkun doesn't get involved with drugs."

Ye Xingguo pondered for a while. He was indeed worried about Qi Tongwei's safety and had that concern: if something happened, it would be difficult to explain to Old Qin. But this kid's method was worth a try. Besides, eliminating an underground casino was something the police should do.

"Are you really sure about this, kid?"

Qi Tongwei said firmly, "Director Ye, I've made up my mind, but you need to get the armed police to cooperate with me."

With the armed police cooperating without any problem, Ye Xingguo took a drag of his cigarette and finally made up his mind.

"Fine, I'll have the armed police fully cooperate with you, but remember this: your safety comes first. I don't want to visit you at the martyrs' cemetery."

Qi Tongwei replied earnestly, "Yes, Director Ye, I'm not ready to die yet. After this case is resolved, I'll invite you to my wedding."

Ye Xingguo laughed heartily, "You little rascal, you really have no sense of decency. I've accepted your invitation; I'll be your witness at your wedding."

"Thank you, Director Ye, but you're a man, so you don't need to be the officiant."

"You bastard!"

Qi Tongwei called Chen Shunjun, Lan Ying, and Wu Dali to his office and explained the whole situation to them.

"Director Ye has promised me that the Armed Police will fully cooperate with our operation. Everyone, please share your thoughts."

"Qi Zhi, I have no objections; I'll follow your arrangements completely."

Wu Dali was overjoyed, unable to suppress his happiness. He was willing to die a thousand deaths to eliminate the criminals.

The clue about the underground casino was probably given by an informant again. Lan Ying still didn't quite believe that the informant was Yu Haichao, but it was too much of a coincidence.

"Qi Zhi, I have no objection either. Underground casinos are a major scourge and should be eradicated as soon as possible."

Young people always dream of making a name for themselves and want to eliminate criminals. Chen Shunjun understands everyone's feelings very well because he also went through the impulsive years of his youth. Because of his impulsiveness, he eventually divorced his wife and his son didn't even recognize him.

"Chief Qi, can eradicating this underground casino wipe out Qiu Jinkun's criminal gang in one fell swoop?"

Qi Tongwei understood Chen Shunjun's meaning: he was worried about alerting the criminals and hoped to resolve the issue once and for all.

"Chief Chen, simply taking down an underground casino won't be enough to wipe out Qiu Jinkun's criminal gang, but he dared to kill a policeman and challenge the authority of the state, so we should give him a good beating."

"In fact, many organized crime groups grow gradually. If we could crack down on them sooner, ordinary people would suffer much less for many years."

"Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent." I really dislike this saying. We could have done better. The dead cannot be brought back to life. What good is it if the criminals are punished?

When Chen Shunjun was young, he thought the same way as Qi Tongwei, but now he thinks that this statement is too extreme. Police officers are also human, not gods. If gangsters collude with corrupt officials, even if a police officer is full of justice, it will still be in vain.

But what's wrong with that? Young police officers are passionate, impulsive, and righteous—isn't that a good thing?

"Qi Zhi, I will completely obey your orders."

Qi Tongwei was pleased to reach a consensus with everyone: one person's strength is ultimately limited; organized crime always involves gangs, so the number of police officers certainly cannot be less than that of organized crime.

"Tonight at nine o'clock, we'll wipe out Qiu Jinkun's underground casino in one fell swoop. Are you confident?"

"Have"

Wu Dali raised his fist and shouted loudly, his heart filled with excitement, eager to join the operation.

"Have"

"Have"

Lan Ying and Chen Shunjun both expressed their confidence, stating that eradicating criminals was their long-cherished wish as police officers.

To maintain secrecy, the main force making arrests was the armed police.

After the three of them left, Qi Tongwei immediately called Zhan Ying, the captain of the armed police, "Captain Zhan, have you received the orders?"

Zhan Ying spoke with a firm and resolute voice, maintaining a soldier's style, "Commander Qi, I have received orders from my superiors to fully cooperate with you."

"Thank you, team leader. We'll be operating at 9 PM tonight. Any questions?"

No problem.

"Okay, thank you again, team captain."

In the study of the seaside villa, Qiu Jinkun and Lu Jin were discussing something.

Qiu Jinkun sat in his boss's chair, smoking a cigar. "Ah Jin, a shipment is coming from Hong Kong next week. You need to prepare in advance. The provincial department is cracking down hard right now, so you must find a few trustworthy brothers."

Lu Jin also smoked a cigar. The two had a very good relationship; he had even saved Qiu Jinkun's life, and their friendship was so deep that they had risked their lives for each other.

"Brother, don't worry, it's been fine so many times, there won't be any problems this time either."

Qiu Jinkun exhaled a puff of his cigar, a question lingering in his mind. "Ah Jin, do you think that kid knew I hired someone to kill him?"

Lu Jin shook his head, unsure either. "Brother, we should definitely be suspicious. That kid shut down the nightclub, but he reopened it that same night. Normally, a grudge wouldn't warrant such a murderous act, would it?"

Qiu Jinkun frowned. "Are you saying I'm not normal?"

Suddenly I realized, wait a minute, it was after that kid slapped you at the police station that I couldn't swallow my anger and that's why I killed you.

"Go on."

Lu Jin didn't notice the expression on Qiu Jinkun's face. The two were deeply intertwined, like grasshoppers in the same boat; if they were to die, they would probably die together.

In the drug trade, apart from Lu Jin, none of the underlings could identify Qiu Jinkun, and Yu Haichao had no way to get close to him.

"That kid is mainly here to investigate the case of the narcotics squad leader and his entire family being murdered. That case points to Fifth Master, so it's entirely possible that Fifth Master sent assassins."

Qiu Jinkun nodded. The matter of the assassin could be completely handed over to Fifth Master. It wouldn't be bad to let Fifth Master be the scapegoat.

"You're right, but it's a pity that kid's too lucky. I'll kill him sooner or later."

Lu Jin thought of Qi Tongwei, his face still stinging from the slap. "Brother, once things have calmed down, I'll personally finish off that kid."

"Fine, I can't sleep soundly if that kid doesn't die."

Qiu Jinkun's murderous intent surged. He saw Qi Tongwei as a menace, and thought he might just bring him down one day.

Qi Tongwei suddenly sneezed. Damn it, it's that bastard who's trying to get me killed again.

After arranging everything, at 8:30 p.m., Qi Tongwei led Lan Ying into the Pretty Girl Dance Hall.

Qi Tongwei had undergone a complete disguise, almost like a face transplant, so much so that Lan Ying was quite shocked; it was simply too amazing.

Lan Ying played a nightclub hostess with long, wavy hair and long legs in black stockings. Wu Dali almost had a nosebleed from watching her. He said he would definitely ask to be paired with Lan Ying next time.

This benefit of working together as a team of men and women without getting tired shouldn't be enjoyed by Qi Tongwei alone.
