When Cai Yuanqi heard the news that Lao Xiang had come out, his eyelids jumped suddenly, and there was no joy in his heart:
"Lao Xiang has come out?"
"Yes."
The chief inspector nodded and continued: "Just now, Lao Xiang's wife Azhen went in with her lawyer, and within a few minutes she brought Lao Xiang out. Ji Bu and Superintendent Mo escorted them out. of."
The Chief Inspector is naturally not a fool, nor is he naive enough to think that Lao Xiang came out because of Cai Yuanqi’s help:
"We saw that Superintendent Mo was talking a lot when he sent them out. We don't know what the specific situation was."
Speaking of which.
The chief inspector's tone then dropped: "We are following Lao Xiang's car now, do we want to go up and stop them?!"
"..."
Cai Yuanqi did not speak, but looked out the window with flickering eyes. It took him several seconds before he smiled:
"Why intercept them? Lao Xiang has been in there for so many days and hasn't seen his wife for a long time. Let him meet his wife and children first, and we'll talk later."
"do not know why."
The Chief Inspector did not give up, but continued with some uneasiness: "I always have a bad feeling in my heart. When we wanted to go into the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station to see Lao Xiang this morning, we were intercepted. Why did he disappear in the blink of an eye? Out?"
There was a pause.
He continued: "Tell me, are you saying something to this person that you shouldn't say to them?! Then we are in danger. I was still wandering outside the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station today... "
"nonsense!"
Cai Yuanqi laughed when he heard this and said in a relaxed tone: "Push to the street, who do you imagine Lao Xiang to be?!"
"It's me. I got involved with someone and put pressure from above to get Lao Xiang released. What are you worried about? It won't happen."
"Is that so?"
When the Chief Inspector heard what Cai Yuanqi said, he felt relieved and breathed out a sigh of relief: "Let me tell you, Lao Xiang is not that kind of person."
"Okay, let's leave. There's no need to follow him."
Cai Yuanqi waved his hand and told the chief inspector in a relaxed tone, indicating that he didn't need to worry, and then hung up the phone.
"Fight on the street!"
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Cai Yuanqi's face disappeared instantly. He slapped his hand on the table and breathed heavily: "Lao Xiang came out? Why did he let him out?!"
Cai Yuanqi frowned and couldn't figure out why Lao Xiang was released by them for no reason?!
No more checking?
Obviously this is impossible.
Lao Xiang recruited?
What did you say that you shouldn't have said?
so.
He came out after exchanging conditions?!
Cai Yuanqi frowned and said nothing. There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, and then his eyes fell on the mobile phone in front of him.
wait.
He was waiting for Lao Xiang's call and took the initiative to call himself.
at this time.
The assistant outside quickly walked in again, walked to Cai Yuanqi's side, bent down and said in a low voice:
"Sir Cai, the latest news is that the reporters from the newspaper who were arrested by Song Zijie of Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station have been released again."
"According to our people's interviews, these reporters said that they were taken back by Song Zijie, and nothing was done to them. They were just asked to withdraw the article and not to publicize it again."
"Don't make any noise?"
Cai Yuanqi frowned and looked up at his assistant.
"Yes."
The assistant's expression was also not very good. He frowned and nodded in affirmation, and then looked at Cai Yuanqi worriedly:
"Sir Cai, tell me."
"nonsense!"
Cai Yuanqi scolded the assistant softly, telling the assistant not to talk too much, and waved his hand distractedly to signal him to go out.
At this moment.
Cai Yuanqi was a little confused about what was going on, so he could only continue to wait.
Of course.
Cai Yuanqi also noticed that there was something strange about this incident. It was unreasonable and strange for Lao Xiang to be suddenly released.
So, he has to wait.
Wait for Lao Xiang to take the initiative to call me and see what he says. Wait for the follow-up to see what chain reaction will happen due to Lao Xiang's release.
He was vaguely aware that Ji Bu wanted to use this incident to do something to him. If Lao Xiang was released now, he must not interpret it too much, otherwise it would only create a gap in Lao Xiang's heart.
On the highway.
! As the Benz cruised quickly on the highway, Lao Xiang did not feel the pleasure of regaining his freedom at all, but instead felt uneasy.
He sat in the back seat with a frown on his face, holding the cigarette in his hand out of the window, the ashes flying in the wind.
Azhen sat next to Lao Xiang, stretched out her hand to hold his arm, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew that I still had to go to him for this matter. Only he can handle it."
"Nonsense!"
After hearing what he said, Lao Xiang couldn't help but scolded him softly: "I was not released because of him at all. Ji Bu and the others took the initiative to release me."
"This matter has been set up by them, and you have also been used by them. They used you to attack Sir Cai, create a gap in his mind, and then release me."
"Do you know that those dirty stories you hired people to make up will make Sir Cai very unhappy? He doesn't like people threatening him very much."
"Then can you blame me?!"
Azhen frowned after listening to Lao Xiang's words: "Can you blame me for this? Didn't I want to save you?"
"If I hadn't done this, do you think your Sir Cai would have saved you? I went to find him, but he pretended to be stupid and had no intention of caring about you. How good do you still think he is?!"
"Let me tell you, I don't care about those things. I have only one purpose. Come out and you will be safe and sound. This is what I need. Don't talk about those messy things with me."
Azhen's mood also started to rock, and she scolded unceremoniously: "I tell you, you should stay away from this Cai Yuanqi, he is a harmful person!"
"Why is he still doing these things after he has retreated for so long? He is just using you to help him seek benefits and work for him wholeheartedly? Humph!"
Azhen folded her arms and snorted coldly, turning her head to look out the window, her tone full of disdain. During this time, she had no good impression of Cai Yuanqi.
"OK OK."
Lao Xiang looked at the angry Azhen, quickly turned around and put his arms around Azhen's waist, and softly said:
"I don't mean to blame you, it's just that this matter is too complicated. You didn't know that you entered the situation rashly and were taken advantage of by them."
Lao Xiang and A-Zhen have a very good relationship. He dotes on A-Zhen and never talks back to her. They are a loving couple.
"I'll handle the rest. Don't be angry. Give me your mobile phone and I'll reply to him first."
He comforted A-Zhen in a soft voice. When A-Zhen saw this, she no longer looked cold and picked up the phone to call him:
"I'm telling you, if we can handle this matter, we'll handle it. If we can't handle it, we'll leave. Don't be this bullshit superintendent and be used by Cai Yuanqi all day long."
Azhen is also a very measured woman and will not mess around with Lao Xiang. Enough is enough.
"Yes Yes Yes."
Lao Xiang nodded in agreement, while pressing the button to dial out the number, and then motioned for Azhen to be quiet and wait for the connection.
The call was dialed.
Cai Yuanqi looked at the mobile phone that suddenly rang on the table. She looked at it in her hand, but did not answer it. She took the mobile phone in her hand and stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the busy traffic outside.
soon.
The phone stopped.
Lao Xiang glanced at the unanswered phone and then called again.
"Hello."
Only then did Cai Yuanqi get through. Listening to Lao Xiang's voice, she said with joy: "Lao Xiang, you are finally out."
"Yes Sir Cai."
Lao Xiang organized his words and said quickly: "I didn't handle this matter well, something went wrong. It's my fault. It's my fault."
"It doesn't matter."
Cai Yuanqi sighed and shook his head: "As long as you're fine, it's fine. I was worried about you. I just called you and came out."
"Thank you Sir."
Lao Xiang responded, and the conversation with him still maintained the tone of the previous superior-subordinate relationship, and then explained:
"This happened so suddenly. Many things cannot be explained clearly. To make a long story short, Ji Bu set us up."
"As long as you're out and everything is fine, everything else is secondary."
Cai Yuanqi did not let Lao Xiang continue talking. He simply laid the groundwork and then continued:
"I don't think it's better. If you come out today, I'll book a private room for you at Dafugui Restaurant. Let's talk to you in person if there's anything you need to do."
"Of course, you bring your wife and children with you. Speaking of which, I haven't seen your two children for a long time, so I just called them over to catch up on old times."
"Forehead"
Lao Xiang didn't think anything about Cai Yuanqi's invitation at first, but when he heard Cai Yuanqi asking him to bring his wife and children, he couldn't help but frown.
What is going on between us, what are we doing with my wife and children?!
This reminded him of what Ji Bu said before, and he couldn't help but mention it in his heart.
"Ha ha.."
Lao Xiang thought about it and agreed to Cai Yuanqi's request:
"I can just come over by myself, so they don't have to come over. The children have to go to class tomorrow. I think get out of class will end very late today."
"Well, that's okay too."
Cai Yuanqi nodded in agreement: "What did you just say? What trick did Ji Bu set for us?!"
"Is such that."
Lao Xiang kept the story short and briefly described the incident: "I was suddenly released by them. They did it on purpose. They released me for no reason."
"They did this to deliberately drive a wedge between us. I didn't say anything during the past few days at the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station."
"Well, I believe you."
Cai Yuanqi nodded and said unequivocally: "What is our relationship? How many years has it been? I can definitely trust you."
He waved his hand casually, indicating to Lao Xiang not to think too much: "Then you should have a good rest for a few days, and we can make an appointment again when we find an opportunity."
"good."
Lao Xiang nodded in agreement, and the conversation between the two parties ended here. I don't know why, but after hanging up the phone, Lao Xiang always felt that something was weird, but he said it was not weird.
"How did he say?!"
Azhen looked up at Lao Xiang.
"fine."
Lao Xiang smiled and shook his head: "Just let me rest for a few days, nothing will happen."
"The old man must have doubted you."
Azhen looked at Lao Xiang and said nothing, but she could already tell the clues from his absent-minded smile:
"If you want me to tell you, just quit. Let's live in peace and contentment from now on."
"It's difficult."
Lao Xiang took a long breath, with a heavy heart and a serious tone: "This matter is not that easy to solve."
It was definitely impossible for him to withdraw now. If he quit now, wouldn't he just play into Ji Bu's hands?
Next, I have to be honest and pray that nothing will happen again.
If something happens, you will definitely be unlucky too.
Lao Xiang thought so, and Cai Yuanqi was also thoughtful.
He was not very satisfied with Lao Xiang about the conversation just now. He asked him to come out to have a rich meal, but Lao Xiang was hesitant. Why was he hesitating?
but.
It cannot be said that Lao Xiang will definitely have problems, and Lao Xiang's excuse is certainly valid.
Cai Yuanqi, who has always been thoughtful, still believes what Lao Xiang said just now, but not much.
Did Lao Xiang do anything, and did he say anything to Ji Bu and the others?!
Is this a trick deliberately made by Ji Bu, or is there something really wrong with Lao Xiang?
"Tsk"
Cai Yuanqi smacked his tongue and shook his head, but still did not take action out of trust in Lao Xiang.
He felt that he could wait a little longer.
Although several people called today to say that someone from ICAC wanted to talk to them, but everyone was fine and did not go to ICAC headquarters, so the problem was not big.
I'm sure it's really Ji Bu's fault, right? A qualified leader must always be able to keep his composure.
It took a while.
Cai Yuanqi shouted outside, and the assistant walked in hurriedly.
"From now on, arrange for someone to keep an eye on Lao Xiang and his family. I don't need to keep an eye on them all the time, but I must keep track of their movements."
"Especially Lao Xiang's two children and his wife, please watch them carefully. Don't let anything go wrong. You must keep abreast of the situation."
"good."
The assistant looked at Cai Yuanqi who was issuing a series of instructions, and nodded quickly to express that he understood and went to make arrangements.
"Lao Xiang, Lao Xiang."
Cai Yuanqi put her hands behind her back and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looking outside:
"Do you think you have any problems?"
"You can't blame me. I have to be vigilant about you. I can't let anything go wrong just because you are my soldier. My plate is too big and your position is high. No one can make any mistakes."
In the blink of an eye.
Two days have passed.
"Boss."
Hua Tsai has been in charge of intelligence work these days. After coming in, he made a report: "Everything is normal. Cai Yuanqi didn't do anything to Lao Xiang. He didn't do anything, but he has arranged for people to start targeting Lao Xiang and his family.
.”
"Um."
Ji Bu sat on the sofa, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table: "Cai Yuanqi is really calm."
