Weizhengsheng called the commander-in-chief of the armed police in southwest province and said: "Some martial artists have caused trouble, and the police have suppressed them. I hope that the armed police headquarters will help to deal with it."
Commander Fan Zhenxing of the Armed Police Southwest Provincial Command hung up the phone and began to ponder. The disturbance caused by martial artists should be handled by the Martial Arts Association, after all. Although the Martial Arts Association is semi-official and semi-civilian, the Martial Soul Hall is a real government organization. Not involving them and using the armed police is not something to be taken lightly. It's better to give Vice Governor Wei a face and lead some people to go through the motions!
Commander Fan Zhenxing led a group of people to the Gems Association and saw Zhang Linjiang and Liu Ruyan. He said, "You're also here?"
Zhang Linjiang said: "That guy who came, they are martial artists who have made an appointment to fight. It is within the rules and we have no right to interfere."
Fan Zhenxing said: "Then I'll call that person back! Martial artist duels are not violent crimes; it's not appropriate for the Armed Police Headquarters to interfere."
Wei Zhanbing took the call from Fan Zhenxing and became extremely angry. He dialed the phone of the Provincial Public Security Bureau Qin Xiaoqian: "Bring some people and come with me to the Gems Association."
Half an hour later, Weizhengsheng, accompanied by Qin Xiaoqian and more than a dozen SWAT team members, arrived at the scene in a commanding manner. He saw that Zhang Linjiang, Liu Ruyan and Fan Zhenxing had not left. He said: "You three administrative officials have not acted. I will report your affairs to your superiors. Captain Gao wants me to capture people."
Qin Xiaoqian immediately led his people towards Mo Wenjie.
Mo Wenjie said: "Who are you to come here unasked and arbitrarily arrest people without knowing the facts? What kind of authoritative figure do you think you are?"
Weizhengsheng said: "I am Wei Zhengsheng, the Deputy Governor of Southwest Province. You are a stubborn criminal who has caused serious injury to others. To appease public anger, it is essential to punish you."
Mo Wenjie was so angry that he was fuming, saying: "As a Deputy Governor, you wouldn't investigate the situation before ordering people to be arrested. All the evil deeds of the Qian family have been settled by you, haven't they? You are the protection umbrella for the Qian family. You and them are in cahoots, killing people with abandon; your crimes are unforgivable!" He took out his phone and dialed his elder brother's number. The secretary on the other end of the line saw the caller ID: "Little apprentice!" He hurriedly held the phone and said, "Deputy Minister Qi, it's a call from your little apprentice."
Qi Rongguang said: "Put it on speakerphone!"
He answered the call with excitement, saying: "Little apprentice, you've finally returned! Where are you? We'll come to see you. Our master has instructed that as soon as you return from the mountain, you will be the head of Yu Long Sect. I, along with two senior brothers and two senior brothers, will come to pay respects to our senior brother in charge!"
The secretary nearly wet his pants upon hearing this. What background does this little apprentice have that would make the Deputy Minister of State go to pay respects?
Mo Wenjie said: "Third Brother, I just returned from the mountain and haven't told you yet. I thought I would inform you in Kyoto first. I called you today to tell you something important."
Qi Rongguang said: "Little apprentice, just say what you have in mind."
Mo Wenjie then recounted the entire incident.
Qi Rongguang was enraged and jumped up in anger upon hearing this. Throughout his life, he had stood tall with a stout backbone, despising evil, detesting corrupt officials and the rich who refused to help the poor. However, he also knew that his little apprentice was terrifyingly powerful. He estimated that if it weren't for the bond of brothers-in-law, his little apprentice would have already turned Kyoto upside down. They had heard from their master that their little apprentice had transcended ordinary people's realm, and his martial prowess was incomprehensible.
He said, "Little apprentice, wait a moment. I'll take care of this right away."
He picked up the red phone on the table and dialed the phone of the Provincial Chief of Southwest Province.
Ding Chengmin heard the ringing of the red phone and immediately stood up to answer. It was clear that Deputy Minister Qi held a high position in the heart of Ding Chengmin. He spoke carefully, "What can I do for Deputy Minister Qi?"
Qi Rongguang said: "Ding, the situation in Southwest Province is so corrupt and smoky. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"
Ding Chenmin was shocked inside. He quickly said, "Deputy Minister Qi, I don't know what went wrong with my work. Please correct me."
Qi Rongguang said: "Weizhengsheng, the Deputy Governor of Southwest Province. In cahoots with the top families, Qian family, he bullies men and oppresses women, terrorizing the region. Don't you know this?"
Ding Chengmin's sweat beads rolled down his forehead as he said, "Deputy Minister Qi, it's my fault. I have been remiss in my duties."
Qi Rongguang said: "My little apprentice, Wei Zhanbing, was unfairly treated at the Gems Association in Southwest Province. I hope you can handle this matter. By the way, to let you know, I see Wei Zhanbing as if I were seeing my own teacher."
Ding Chengmin nearly fell to the ground upon hearing this. Is this little apprentice too powerful? Deputy Minister Qi sees him as if he were his own teacher, and his identity is that of a little apprentice, with power equal to that of the master. Oh my God! How did this man come to Southwest Province? If I handle this matter poorly, losing my office is the least of my concerns.
He hurriedly said, "Please be assured, I will go there immediately and ensure that the matter is handled properly!"
Qi Rongguang said, "Go ahead!" and hung up the phone!
Ding Chengmin first called Weizhengsheng and asked him to wait for a while. He said he would arrive soon to talk about something.
Then he ordered the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Anti-Corruption Bureau to investigate Weizhengsheng. He commanded that all department heads come with him to the Gems Association.
At this time, Qi Rongguang called Mo Wenjie and said: "Little apprentice, I have already sent people to deal with it. Should I notify the brothers and sisters to pay respects to the master of the sect?"
Mo Wenjie said: "Third Brother, don't tell them that I've returned from the mountain. I'll tell you when I go to Kyoto. We'll get together again as brothers-in-law."
Qi Rongguang said: "Alright then, the brothers will wait for you in Kyoto. Goodbye, little apprentice!" and hung up the phone!
Mo Wenjie hung up the phone.
Qian Qinxing said: "Do you still want to go to Kyoto? Stay in Southwest Province and rot in prison."
Mo Wenjie said: "Do you think just because you have a Deputy Governor to back you up, your Qian family is invincible in the world?"
Lao Du said: "Liu, your classmate's bodyguards are all so powerful. Even Deputy Province Wei Zhanbing can't intimidate them."
Liu Chengwen said: "Young people haven't experienced setbacks, so they don't know the difference between heaven and earth."
Zhou Qianqian said: "Wenjie, who did you call just now? Is he any good? If not, maybe my grandfather should come personally. He might be able to get some people to show some face."
Mo Wenjie said: "No need! Someone will come to handle it soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the roaring sound of car engines. How fast must the speed be!
Several vehicles with provincial government markings came to an emergency stop, and a group of people got off the cars.
Ding Chengmin led the way, walking in the front.
The onlookers, who were wealthy, were dumbfounded. All department heads in Southwest Province were present. What was going on? Could it be because of the phone call from that guy?
Weizhengsheng said with a smug expression, "Ding Province Master is really considerate. He knows that I have business here, so he brought the members of the leadership team to hold a meeting."
Ding Chengmin walked to the scene and asked, "Weizhengsheng, who are you planning to arrest?"
Weizhengsheng said: "Did Ding Province Master also hear that I came here to arrest the thugs? He pointed at Mo Wenjie and said, 'This is the person.' I intended to take him back. You called me and asked me to wait here."
Ding Chengmin hurried to Mo Wenjie's side and extended his hand in an ingratiating manner, saying, "Hello! I am Ding Chengmin, the Province Master of Southwest Province. Welcome to our province. It is my fault that a few individuals have caused you discomfort; I apologize for my inadequate governance!"
Mo Wenjie said: "Do you know the situation?"
Ding Chengmin said: "I know a bit, but the details are unclear."
Mo Wenjie then recounted the entire sequence of events in detail and said, "Zhang Heihu was present at the scene. You can ask him for the full story."
Zhang Heihu was already shocked. All the top leaders in Southwest Province were present, and Niu Ma was too terrifying. What kind of background does this kid have that he could make the Province Master pleased? His identity must be extremely important. He stammered, "The situation is exactly as he said."
The onlookers, who were wealthy, were all sharp-minded people. Who could not see that Ding Chengmin, the Province Master of Southwest Province, was here to please this young man?
Lao Du said, "Nephew Liu, you've missed the chance to deal with the top families of Southwest Province this time!"
Liu Chengwen said, "Who made me blind? I never thought that a bodyguard could have such powerful energy, and he could even make the Province Master bow to him."
Weizhengsheng also sensed something was amiss. He asked in confusion, "Ding Province Master, he is the thug who injured someone severely!"
Ding Chengmin asked, "Zhang Linjiang, the association chairman, and Liu Ruyan, the director, are they thugs?"
Zhang Linjiang said: "When Zhang Jiuxie challenged him to a duel, losing to him was normal. The winner doesn't need to bear responsibility."
At this moment, the members of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Anti-Corruption Bureau came to Ding Chengmin with their investigation materials, saying: "All the investigation materials about Ding Province Master are here. Wei Zhanbing has received bribes totaling 2.3 billion yuan in the past thirteen years, with 1.8 billion yuan being sent by Qian family."
Ding Chengmin said: "I hereby announce the immediate dismissal of Wei Zhanbing from his position. The Discipline Inspection Commission, the Supervisory Commission, and the Anti-Corruption Bureau will formally launch an investigation. All suspects will be dealt with severely. All departments are to fully cooperate. Place a travel ban on all members of the Qian family, investigate them one by one. Those with no issues will have their freedom restored, and those with problems will be detained. Those who are extremely guilty will face capital punishment."
Ding Chengmin walked to Mo Wenjie's side and said: "Brother Mo, how do you think about this treatment? Is it satisfactory?"
Mo Wenjie nodded and said: "You can do as you wish."
Zhou Qianqian said, "Wenjie, it's all settled. Let's go!"
Ding Chengmin heard this and noticed the two beautiful women behind Mo Wenjie. He had been so focused on making Mo Wenjie satisfied that he didn't even notice them before. He looked at Zhou Qianqian speaking and felt a sense of familiarity. After thinking for a while, he remembered and said: "You are the daughter of the Zhou family in Kyoto?"
Zhou Qianqian said: "Do you know me?"
Ding Chengmin said: "We're distant relatives. My great-aunt is your great-grandmother. She celebrated her 80th birthday two years ago, and you were there too!"
Zhou Qianqian said: "I remember now, I did see you."
Ding Chengmin said: "Little cousin, is he your boyfriend?"
Zhou Qianqian blushed and said: "He's just a friend!"
Ding Chengmin said: "Since you've come to Southwest Province, let me treat you as a guest and have a meal with you!"
Mo Wenjie was well aware of Ding Chengmin's intentions. He said, "There's no need for a meal. You can take care of your business."
Everyone was taken aback. Many people would give anything for the chance to have a meal with the Province Master, but he, in turn, was offered a meal by the Province Master and refused without giving any face.
Ding Chengmin looked at Zhou Qianqian and said: "Little cousin, we are relatives. We should walk more often in the future. If we don't walk, our feelings will fade. You see, I almost didn't recognize you just now. As he spoke, he winked at Zhou Qianqian."
Zhou Qianqian said: "Since we're going to have a meal when we go back, let's do it together!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Ding Chengmin and said: "Let's do it together!"
