Chapter 36 The Feast at Hongmen Returns, This Time a Death Trap!
The order for "Operation Thunder" was like a real thunderbolt, cleaving the seemingly peaceful night sky of Jingzhou in the dead of night.
Overnight.
All police officers in Jingzhou City were mobilized.
The sound of sirens echoed throughout the city's streets and alleys.
Countless KTVs, bathhouses, and mahjong parlors were raided overnight.
One by one, the usually arrogant and domineering thugs and gangsters were dragged out from various dark corners and stuffed into police cars.
The entire underground world of Jingzhou was thrown into chaos, and people were filled with fear.
The operation was aimed directly at the largest building materials market controlled by Liu Huaqiang.
Qi Tongwei personally led the team.
Instead of launching a surprise attack, he drove dozens of police cars with sirens blaring, and ostentatiously surrounded the entire building materials market.
The way they were acting made it seem like they weren't there to crack down on organized crime, but to wage war.
In the market, Liu Huaqiang's men, those thugs who usually made a living by bullying and dominating the market, were terrified at the sight of this scene.
They had never seen anything like this before.
Before the police could even make a move, he threw away the steel pipe and machete in his hand and obediently squatted down with his hands on his head.
Only Liu Huaqiang still wanted to rely on his "background" to put up a stubborn resistance.
He took a few of his toughest henchmen, locked himself in his office, and shouted that he would die with the police.
Qi Tongwei didn't waste any words with him.
He directly ordered the riot police to use a hammer to forcefully break open the heavy security door.
When Liu Huaqiang saw the man in the black jacket, whose eyes were colder than the Siberian cold front, appear before him with a group of heavily armed special police officers.
All his arrogance and courage crumbled in an instant.
He didn't even dare to resist before he was pinned to the ground.
"Qi Tongwei, don't you dare be so smug!"
Even with his hands cuffed, Liu Huaqiang continued to roar defiantly.
"Brother Long won't let you get away with this!"
Qi Tongwei walked up to him, squatted down, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"I'm waiting for him."
……
The results of "Operation Thunder" were brilliant.
Overnight, more than 300 suspects involved in various illegal and criminal activities were apprehended.
Countless controlled knives, guns, and drugs were seized.
The social order of the entire Jingzhou seemed to have been purified overnight.
The people applauded and cheered.
Meanwhile, those forces lurking in the shadows live in constant fear.
The news quickly reached Zhao Ruilong's ears.
Shanshui Manor.
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Zhao Ruilong was so angry that he smashed a blue-and-white porcelain vase worth millions on the ground.
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"
"Liu Huaqiang, and he just took him down like that?"
He originally wanted Liu Huaqiang to create some "trouble" for Qi Tongwei.
Unexpectedly, Qi Tongwei did not play by the rules at all.
He flipped the table and ransacked the entire underground world of Jingzhou.
This is hardly a snake-slaying exercise.
This is clearly a case of taking down the entire snake nest along with the snake!
"Brother Long, this Qi Tongwei is too strange!"
One of his trusted confidants said tremblingly.
"He does things without any regard for rules; we...we have absolutely no idea what he's up to!"
Zhao Ruilong paced back and forth in the room, his expression shifting between light and dark.
For the first time, he felt a sense of unease.
Even a hint of fear.
This Qi Tongwei is like a madman.
A madman who is impervious to reason and fire.
Conventional methods are no longer effective against this type of person.
A ruthless killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Since the soft approach isn't working, we'll have to resort to the hard approach.
He picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, it's me."
"Help me contact the remaining members of the 'Scorpion' gang overseas."
"I don't care what method you use or how much money you spend."
"I want Qi Tongwei's life!"
……
Meanwhile, in Qi Tongwei's office.
He has just finished the initial interrogation of Liu Huaqiang.
As expected, Liu Huaqiang was a vicious dog that Zhao Ruilong kept in Jingzhou.
Over the years, I've helped him handle many things that were "inconvenient" for him to appear in public.
This includes intimidation, threats, and even "accidents".
Qi Tongwei recorded these statements one by one.
He knew that Zhao Ruilong was at his wit's end and had resorted to desperate measures.
Next, he will no longer face the open and covert attacks of officialdom.
Rather, it was a real, tangible threat of death from outlaws.
Just then, his phone rang again.
The caller ID still showed Gao Xiaoqin.
On the other end of the phone, Gao Xiaoqin's voice carried a hint of undisguised panic and trembling.
"Director Qi... Director Qi..."
"Young Master Zhao... he would like to invite you to another meal."
"Tonight, still at the Mountain and Water Manor."
He said that last time it was a misunderstanding, and this time he came specifically to apologize to you.
A cold smile curled at the corners of Qi Tongwei's lips.
apologize?
This is clearly the final trap.
Yes, it was a death trap prepared for him.
"it is good."
Without the slightest hesitation, he agreed immediately.
He wanted to see what other tricks this most powerful young master in Handong could pull.
After hanging up the phone, he glanced out the window at the setting sun.
Blood stained half the sky.
He picked up his coat and prepared to go out.
Chen Hai rushed in and stopped him.
"Tongwei, you can't go!"
"This is definitely a trap! Zhao Ruilong is going to kill you!"
Chen Hai's face was filled with anxiety and fear.
Qi Tongwei patted his shoulder, a relaxed smile on his face.
"rest assured."
"It's just going out for a meal."
He walked past Chen Hai without pausing for a moment.
Looking at his resolute back, Chen Hai knew that he couldn't persuade him at all.
He could only watch helplessly as Qi Tongwei, alone in his car, drove towards that place he knew was a den of wolves and tigers.
……
Shanshui Manor.
The manor is unusually quiet tonight.
Gone are the days of revelry and dazzling lights.
There was only a depressing, deathly silence.
Qi Tongwei's car slowly drove in.
Gao Xiaoqin stood at the door, her face covered in heavy makeup, yet it couldn't conceal her paleness and fear.
When she saw Qi Tongwei, who had indeed come alone, a hint of reluctance and complex emotions flashed in her eyes.
"Director Qi, you..."
She wanted to say something, but dared not.
Qi Tongwei ignored her and walked straight to the familiar private room.
Push open the door.
Zhao Ruilong was the only one in the private room.
He sat there, with no delicacies in front of him, only a bottle of red wine and two glasses.
His face no longer held its former arrogance, but only a sickly calm.
"You've arrived."
He looked at Qi Tongwei and smiled.
"sit."
Qi Tongwei pulled out a chair and sat down opposite him.
Zhao Ruilong poured him a glass of wine.
"Qi Tongwei, I admit, I underestimated you."
"You are the toughest bone I've ever met."
He picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"But even the hardest bone can't stop a bullet."
His words fell the moment they left his mouth.
All the curtains around the private room were simultaneously drawn open.
Outside the window, a group of men in black, armed with miniature submachine guns, had gathered.
The dark muzzle of the gun was aimed at Qi Tongwei in the private room from all directions.
They were not the thugs and hooligans under Liu Huaqiang.
Their eyes were cold, professional, and filled with murderous intent.
They were remnants of "Scorpion," true, battlefield survivors, outlaws.
Gao Xiaoqin stood at the door and saw this scene. She was so frightened that she covered her mouth with her hand and let out a suppressed gasp.
Zhao Ruilong looked at Qi Tongwei, a cruel and triumphant smile on his face.
"Qi Tongwei, aren't you supposed to be a great fighter?"
"Now, let's see how you fight!"
"Today is your death day!"
He has already laid a trap.
He wanted to see with his own eyes the man who had made him lose face, beaten to a pulp.
However, there was still no fear on Qi Tongwei's face.
He simply picked up the glass of red wine in front of him and gently swirled it.
Then, he looked up at Zhao Ruilong and asked a question that sent chills down Zhao Ruilong's spine.
"Young Master Zhao."
Have you ever heard this saying?
"Is it called 'closing the door to beat the dog'?"
