Chapter 605: There’s Someone Behind the Scenes!

The police cars stopped loudly in front of the Qi Family’s residence.

A few people needed to be taken away, so several cars came.

Qi Li glanced and, without greeting the officers getting out of the cars, went straight onto the first police car.

There was an officer on the car who hadn’t gotten out, and that was naturally Qin Fei.

Seeing Qi Li getting in, Qin Fei then opened his mouth and said:

"Sorry, President Qi, in terms of the business world, you have made a tremendous contribution to Shencheng City. But human life is paramount, and this time I’m afraid we need to inconvenience you a bit."

Qin Fei’s words were very polite.

Qi Li lifted his head, squinting his eyes, and asked:

"Although you might not say, I can’t help but ask, who in your police force wants to set me up?"

"I truly don’t know how to answer this question, President Qi. Firstly, how could anyone want to set up President Qi? Secondly, if President Qi wasn’t trying to set up others, how could today’s incident occur?"

"Set up others? When have I ever set up others? I’m getting in your police car just to fulfill my obligations and responsibilities as a citizen."

Qin Fei curled his lips.

All seasoned old foxes, no need to chit-chat further.

Qin Fei said no more, and soon all three from the Qi Family and Jin Peng got on the police car.

Loudly, the police cars seemed fast, but actually, they gave those cameras on both sides of the road plenty of time to shoot.

With such gestures, how could Qi Li on the car not know, especially after everyone was pictured, and then the car window was closed?

Everything could not be more obvious!

Along the way, Qi Li wasn’t in a good mood.

Or more accurately, his mood was heavy.

He was wondering who exactly wanted to bring down the Qi Family.

If it wasn’t for an attempt to bring down, even if tonight’s plan fails, Chen Xiao won’t cause big waves.

Also Guo Zhengchang.

He’s gone abroad, could he have left something behind in the country?

But his connections in Shencheng City, at best, had just started a few months ago.

How could he, in just a few months, dismantle the Qi Family’s decades of efforts?

With these doubts, Qi Li followed and arrived at the police station.

After staying a while in the interrogation room, the door opened, and Qi Li saw a figure, excessively young to him.

Qi Li looked up and lightly said, "Hello, President Chen."

"Hello, Second Uncle Qi, thinking about it, it’s more affectionate to call you by Zuo Shu or President Qi as per Qi Wei’s rank."

"As you please, just, I didn’t expect President Chen, you’d come to question me first." Qi Li was peeling his fingernails casually as he spoke.

Chen Xiao didn’t deny it and smiled, "We’ll meet anyway, but there’s no need for Second Uncle Qi to be tense, it’s just routine questioning."

"Don’t use deliberate words to intentionally impact my mindset. Kid, I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice; if a few words could make me lose my reason, I’d indeed be a fool."

Chen Xiao laughed heartily, "True, I’m wielding a knife at Guan Gong’s front door, overestimating myself."

Then, Chen Xiao continued, "In that case, I’ll ask directly, how much does Second Uncle Qi know about the Zhu Nianying case?"

Qi Li frowned, "With these questions, asking me isn’t wasting time?"

"What did Jin Peng tell you?"

"Honestly, if it weren’t for our disagreements, I look down on that foreign fellow. The saying ’love the work you do’ is essential; if one sees only profit and no love, one can never be the best in life!"

As Qi Li spoke, Chen Xiao didn’t interrupt him.

Qi Li glanced at Chen Xiao, seeing him remain composed, continued:

"He told me he still holds clues to many open cases in Shencheng City. But he won’t actively present them, waiting for Shencheng City to approach him, so he can name his price."

"Such operations are common in business, but your business deals with human life. Like six years ago, that girl named Zhu Nianying; if Jin Peng had intervened then, she might not have died."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao’s eyes focused suddenly, "So, Jin Peng witnessed the entire disappearance process of Zhu Nianying?"

"Consider it so; at least he said so himself. That night, who can say if the girl was lucky or not? When she was knocked out and taken away, Jin Peng happened to be nearby, initially investigating another case."

"The perpetrators were too engrossed in their business and never noticed him."

"At that time, Jin Peng already recorded everything with his equipment and followed keenly. This is why, after Zhu Nianying was harmed, he was sure about the area she was buried under Yang Lake."

After listening, Chen Xiao said, "Come to think of it, Zhu Nianying’s luck was indeed terrible. Encountering any detective, or even a random person, she might have survived."

"But she happened to meet Jin Peng."

Qi Li shrugged, "Perhaps everyone has their fate, and knowing this, what can you do? He’s not one of our countrymen; exactly, he should be called an international friend, an exceptionally skilled international friend."

"Such a person, not just you, even the director of the city bureau in Shencheng knowing what he’s done, can’t do anything to him."

Chen Xiao understood what Qi Li meant and, after pausing, said:

"I like diligence, no matter whether I can discipline him, I’ll do my utmost. What he’s done can’t escape the crime of disregarding human life!"

"That’s up to you and has nothing to do with me," Qi Li replied nonchalantly, then asked:

"Are there any other matters? If not, can I leave?"

"You definitely can’t leave now, after questioning you, I need to question others. Once everyone’s records are complete for comparison, and it’s certain there’re no problems, only then can Second Uncle Qi leave."

Qi Li squinted his eyes, "Well, you really are trying your best to set me up."

"I dislike being calculated against, but Second Uncle Qi doesn’t need to worry too much; as long as you’ve done nothing wrong, even the law can’t touch you."

Leaving this sentence behind, Chen Xiao got up to leave.

Just as he reached the door, Qi Li couldn’t help but ask, "Is Guo Zhengchang going abroad merely a ruse?"

This question made Chen Xiao’s steps halt instantly.

Because facing this question, his certainty wavered!

After thinking, Chen Xiao turned back, with an unprecedented seriousness, and asked:

"Second Uncle Qi, you are a renowned figure in Shencheng City’s business world, having weathered many storms all your life. Think carefully, is there a big hand behind us manipulating all this?"

"And currently, the only person suspecting the owner of that big hand is my Grandpa Guo!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Li’s face turned with alarming expression!
