Chapter 616: Life is like a play_3
Chen Sai thought for a moment and said, “I have irrefutable evidence that he lent out his vehicle six years ago, and three days after lending it out, a middle-aged man was killed in an accident. The driver at the time was his ‘friend,’ who is now locked up in Deer Island Prison. Recently, this ‘friend’ accidentally revealed that he wasn’t actually close with Wei Shuqi at all.”
Li Yunqu contemplated, “So, you mean that it was actually Wei Shuqi who drove the car and killed the person, but the Qing’s Family found someone to take the blame?”
“Exactly,” Chen Sai smiled, “The man put up quite a resistance, but here’s the problem—if he hasn’t undergone formal resistance training against interrogation, how could he possibly withstand our methods?”
Li Yunqu scoffed, “If that is the case, why doesn’t your Chen Clan go and interrogate him?”
“Our superiors commanded us not to sever ties with the Qing’s Family,” Chen Sai chuckled, “After all, the Chen Clan’s strongholds are in the south; the north is unimportant to us, so we have no plans to get involved. However, Deer Island Prison holds different significance for your Li Family, doesn’t it? I’m only sharing this lead because we’re friends; I definitely wouldn’t tell this to just anyone.”
Li Yunqu immediately got up and summoned the agents from Second Division to leave: “Thanks for this.”
As Chen Sai predicted, the agents from the Second Division promptly made their way to Deer Island Prison and only submitted the procedures for a retrial upon arrival.
By doing so, once the procedures were approved, they could leave with the scapegoat without alerting anyone.
No one could intercept them in their hands.
Chen Sai sat in his office, brimming with a smile as he looked at the messages sent back by the agents, utterly delighted.
However, a day later, after Second Division had brought the person back, there was no further news.
Taking advantage of lunchtime, Chen Sai went to the cafeteria and sat across from Li Yunqu to inquire, “So, did your scapegoat spill the beans yet?”
Li Yunqu looked up at Chen Sai, “What scapegoat are you speaking of? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Chen Sai: “…”
The color on this Inspector from Sixth Division’s face gradually turned cold, as he finally understood, could it be that Li Yunqu had already struck a deal with Seventh Division and handed over the scapegoat directly to them?!
In fact, not only was Chen Sai shocked, but the agents from Seventh Division were also incredulous.
Last night, Li Yunqu personally and secretly transferred the scapegoat to Qing Hua and Qing Zhun.
At the time, both were shocked.
As before, nobody knew that their new boss had an alliance with Li Yunqu.
Indeed, Li Yunqu was fiercely critical of Seventh Division daily!
At this point, Chen Sai said coldly, “Inspector Li, if you proceed this way, our Sixth Division won’t be able to be friends with Second Division anymore.”
Li Yunqu started laughing, “Were we ever friends? By the way, your Chen Clan has over a dozen officials missing now, right? Your superiors must be pressing hard. You still have the time to eat?”
Previously Chen Sai mentioned that their superiors ordered them not to get involved, but Li Yunqu knew all too well, Chan Sai’s level of anxiety was definitely no less than that of Jindai and Deer Island.
Li Yunqu walked away with his lunch box, even humming a song softly, seeming to be in a particularly good mood!
In the evening, Trainee Inspector Chen Zhen from Intelligence Sixth Division arrived at the third floor entrance, and, looking at Qing Hua who faced him with no expression, said, “The membership fee has been transferred; now I want to see that new Inspector of your Seventh Division.”
Qing Hua led him in with a smile, “Our Inspector is currently busy reviewing files and isn’t receiving visitors. Whatever it is, you can just tell me.”
Chen Zhen almost choked on his breath in frustration; after paying the membership fee, he couldn’t even meet the Inspector of the Seventh Division.
As they were walking in, Chen Zhen noticed that Trainee Inspector Li Qingfeng from Second Division was sitting in the office of the Seventh Division Inspector.
Chen Zhen paused and asked Qing Hua, “Isn’t that Li Qingfeng? Why can he talk directly with your Inspector?”
Qing Hua thought for a moment, “You are VIP; he is VVIP. I know it might be hard to accept, but our boss said not to worry; we should gradually cultivate a spending consciousness.”
Chen Zhen almost vomited blood right there. There were membership levels now?! Unbelievable!
Freaking gradually cultivating spending consciousness!
No, wait.
This Intelligence Second Division from Li’s Family had clearly already made some sort of agreement with Seventh Division.
“Hold on, I forgot my phone. I need to go back,” Chen Zhen said, “Can we talk later?”
“Of course,” Qing Hua chuckled, “The doors of Seventh Division are always open for members!”
Immediately, Chen Zhen turned around and went upstairs. He reported everything he’d seen and heard at Seventh Division to Inspector Chen Sai back at his office.
And Chen Sai, his face ashen, slapped the table and stood up; he had finally realized, “So, this Li Yunqu is a stooge, huh!?”
It felt like competing in a game against other players, only to discover mid-competition that they were actually operatives planted by the game developers.
Then what’s the point in competing!
Chen Sai’s attempt to trap Seventh Division not only failed, but he had also inadvertently delivered crucial information right into the hands of the ‘stooge.’
By now, the officials from the Li’s Faction probably had all gone home. Was this what they meant by returning the gentry’s money in full and splitting the commoners’ money in a sixty-forty split?
“Boss, what should we do now?” asked Chen Zhen.
Chen Sai sighed, “What else can we do but accept defeat? Deer Island City isn’t our home game; we initially had few officials placed there, and now so many have been captured by Seventh Division. Continue dealing with Seventh Division, tell them we don’t have anyone from Jindai or Deer Island, but we can trade with Qing intelligence personnel captured over the years.”
