Qiao Qiang felt restless all day, a sensation he hadn't experienced in many years. His long career in politics had tempered him to remain unflinching even in the face of great challenges. However, this time, thinking about his decision made him uneasy. He was uncertain whether his choice would save his son or only lead the Qiao Family deeper into trouble.
When he finished work, Qiao Qiang called He Zhixiang, informing him that he had matters to attend to and would be home late. As he stepped out of the imposing building, Qiao Qiang couldn't help but glance back at the solemn National Emblem hanging prominently. The bright red color stung his eyes and made his heart race. He quickly turned away and walked down the steps.
Qiao Qiang instructed the driver to take him to a nearby market, claiming he suddenly craved pomfret and hadn't bought any at home. After arriving at the market, he told the driver to head back on his own since it was close enough for him to walk home as a form of exercise. Although the driver found it odd that the Provincial Party Secretary was personally shopping for groceries, he had learned long ago not to question or pry into his superior's decisions. If the leader said he wanted pomfret, then even if it was Little Yellow fish, it was pomfret. So, when Qiao Qiang said the driver could leave, he complied and drove away.
Entering the market, Qiao Qiang exited through another entrance and hailed a taxi, instructing the driver to take him to Starbucks.
……
This time, Josen was in serious trouble. Not only had he been thrown against a wall by Big Bull, breaking three ribs, but more critically, Shu Rui's kick had completely destroyed his prized weaponry. Josen was rushed to the hospital for confidential treatment. Due to Lu Jianming's orders to keep Josen's injuries under wraps, even those within the police force were led to believe that he had only sustained minor injuries. Consequently, Qiao Qiang received similar news. Lu Jianming aimed to buy some time regarding the case; if Josen's incapacitation became known to Qiao Qiang, he might pressure the entire Longchuan legal system as he had before, complicating matters further. Keeping him unaware of the severity of Josen's condition would prevent him from intervening too eagerly due to his status and allow more time for the investigation.
Since Josen's injury was severe enough that it could lead to complications with surrounding organs, and given that a notorious figure like Young Master Qiao might end up in a humiliating situation due to this injury, the doctor promptly decided on a “Testicle Removal Surgery.” From then on, Young Master Qiao would have to contend with unfulfilled desires.
Upon waking up, Josen immediately felt excruciating pain in a certain area as if it had been sliced open. When he touched it and felt bandages instead of skin, he realized something was wrong and shouted for a doctor. The on-duty detective called in the attending physician who calmly explained the details of the surgery. When Josen heard that his “Testicle Removal Surgery” had been successful, he couldn't hold back and spat blood in fury. With venomous eyes fixed on the doctor, he cursed loudly: “I’ll fuck you! I’ll fuck your wife! I’ll fuck your sister!”
The attending physician remained composed in response to Josen's outburst and simply replied, “Oh, sorry, but you will no longer possess that ability you mentioned.”
Hearing this, Josen coughed up more blood and fainted again. The physician diligently attended to him before leaving the room. The two detectives outside overheard their exchange and gave a thumbs-up to the doctor for his sharp retort. The doctor remarked calmly, “This kid must have done poorly in school; doesn’t he know about Sima Qian? While not everyone needs to write ‘Records of the Grand Historian,’ writing something online wouldn’t hurt—I've heard there are quite a few readers.”
After waking up again, Josen fell silent. He refused to answer any questions from law enforcement; they didn’t press him either since they didn’t need his testimony—the evidence collected was sufficient for conviction. Moreover, that lecherous Fourth, eager to distance himself from any wrongdoing, insisted that it was Josen who orchestrated the kidnapping of Shen Shanshan. Faced with overwhelming evidence, whether or not he spoke made no difference.
Devastated over losing his precious organs, Josen felt utterly hopeless and contemplated ending his life. Without his weapons for battle, how could he indulge in pleasures anymore? Yet a burning desire for revenge fueled him; he vowed to make those who harmed him pay dearly! He felt no concern over his crimes; he was confident he'd be out soon—what could possibly happen? In this small corner of Binhai, who would dare sentence him? He was the prince of Binhai. Who would dare touch a prince? Those who did were long gone; thus, he felt no fear.
To be honest, the one who dared to touch the Crown Prince has long since passed away. Now, Lu Jianming is not even sure if he can turn this case into a solid one. He knows Josen's background, and only Lu Jianming could handle this. If someone else were in charge of Longchuan's public security system, this case might just end up being dragged out indefinitely and eventually forgotten. However, Lu Jianming has a character that despises evil; regardless of background, he will do what needs to be done, collect the evidence that needs to be collected, and follow through with the necessary procedures. As for the final outcome, that is beyond his control. Only Lu Jianming could deal with Qiao Qiang's son in such a manner.
Last time, Qiao Qiang's brother-in-law, He Dafu, was sent away by Lu Jianming and Xin Yi working together. But the one who had to bear the pressure was still Lu Jianming because Xin Yi was merely operating behind the scenes. When they took action against He Dafu, Lu Jianming was already prepared to retire. However, he did not expect that Qiao Qiang would not move against him in the end. Instead, he allowed Lu Jianming to become the director of the Longchuan City Public Security Bureau in accordance with public opinion. Lu Jianming does not know much about Qiao Qiang, but from that incident, it seems if he were not an upright official, he would certainly be a master of political maneuvering. With his brother-in-law already taken down, further suppression of Lu Jianming would be futile and would only leave him open to accusations of personal vendetta, allowing Lu Jianming to rise naturally in position. This would create a good political impression among the public and perhaps even allow Qiao Qiang to win over Lu Jianming for his own use. Yet ultimately, Lu Jianming was not used by anyone; he still adhered to his morals and beliefs and would show no mercy to any criminals.
Xin Yi has also been busy these past few days. He knows that merely relying on these few charges is insufficient to inflict significant damage on Josen. Even if the charges are established and he is sentenced to ten years for multiple offenses, it would only mean a brief stay in prison before he finds a way out again to continue his misdeeds. To thoroughly defeat Josen, they must uncover more serious crimes—ones so grave that even Qiao Qiang cannot protect him. Of course, this assumes that Josen has indeed committed such acts. Ever since Xin Yi learned that Josen had connections with the Vulture Mercenary Corps, he has suspected that Josen is involved in some grand conspiracy. If it were merely about arming his own gang for smuggling weapons, he should have already armed his own people. However, on the night they rescued Shen Shanshan at Happy Community, Josen's bodyguards were still using domestically produced 52-style pistols—these could not have been smuggled in large quantities from abroad. Are arms dealers really so foolish as to take two risks smuggling out of the country only to smuggle back in? And this only accounts for Heavenly Pride's risks; considering other countries adds at least four more risks into the equation. Thus, this scenario is highly improbable. However, on that night Josen used KF-59-AMP submachine guns—these are newly developed by Western countries for counter-terrorism efforts and could potentially have been smuggled into the country. During the battle at Riverside Nine Li Sandbar against Vulture, Vulture Team Members were also equipped with these submachine guns and even seized eleven during the cleanup.
Josen smuggling weapons into the country but not equipping his own people while they appear on Vulture Team Members is rather strange, isn't it? Could Josen be Vulture's employer? But Xin Yi quickly dismissed this idea; what level of mercenary is Vulture? How could someone like Josen possibly be their employer? It's not that Xin Yi looks down on Josen; in truth, Josen does not have the capability to hire Vulture. Since that's the case, Vulture's employer must be someone else entirely. But who is Vulture's true employer? How did Vulture get involved with Josen? Moreover, what kind of employment mission brought Vulture into the country? All of this remains a mystery; however, it is certain that there lies a shocking conspiracy behind it all.
With what Xin Yi currently knows, he cannot piece everything together yet there is one person who surely can—and perhaps has everything under control: Brother Three. Given Brother Three's formidable intelligence capabilities that provoke both admiration and resentment among people, Xin Yi has reason to believe this. However, Brother Three had previously advised Xin Yi not to act against Vulture's people and mentioned that his Beng Hu Lian was no match for them. Yet during the battle at Nine Li Sandbar against Ming Kingdom’s elite mercenaries known as Vulture, they proved to be less formidable than expected—not only did they fail to gain any advantage but also suffered significant losses instead. When Xin Yi asked Brother Three for help cleaning up after the mess, he initially anticipated being reprimanded because Brother Three had previously stated his intention to use Vulture to draw out a larger mole behind them. However, Brother Three did not say much at all this time; this indicates that his plans have not been disrupted by Xin Yi and remain within his control. Therefore, since this is the case, can Xin Yi ask Brother Three for help in completely defeating Josen?
