Chapter 230 Those who live by the sword will eventually be caught in one fell swoop!
The Tigerhead Mercedes drove out of the parking lot.
Leaning back in the back seat, Luo Dapeng finished his phone call and instructed his bodyguard:
"The boss said things are on high alert lately, and we can't have any cases happen."
"After you drop me off at the nightclub, go to the hospital and bring Linlin a fruit basket so she can recover properly!"
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard awkwardly turned around and looked at Luo Dapeng.
"Brother Peng, are you sure you want to send a fruit basket? She probably can't possibly eat it all."
Luo Dapeng was taken aback.
Suddenly, I remembered that when reporting to my boss, Huang Wusheng, I had long since developed the habit of downplaying the negative aspects and focusing on the good news rather than the bad.
Linlin, who was punished by security for failing to meet performance targets, was not hospitalized because she was "ruined".
The truth is, she was quite cooperative at first.
But those beasts in the security team went further and further astray.
They're even using beer bottles, are they even human?
Unable to endure it any longer and unwilling to be tortured to death, Linlin tried to break free and escape.
Still furious, he swore at people.
The result was naturally a beating, leaving him unconscious and covered in bruises.
He was taken to Luzhou People's Hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with intracranial hemorrhage, multiple fractures, and a ruptured spleen...
Multiple departments worked together and managed to save his life after more than ten hours of emergency treatment.
After being transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward, he is still unable to get out of bed.
He is fed through a tube, has a urine bag attached to his body, and defecates in a basin...
So, we sent a fruit basket...
It's really not suitable; I can't eat it at all!
"Instead of sending a fruit basket, let's send a bouquet of flowers instead!"
"Okay, there are plenty of flowers at the club anyway."
"By the way, could you ask how much the medical expenses have already been incurred?"
"Okay, but if the 20,000 yuan we prepaid has already been spent and we still owe the hospital a lot, do we still need to pay more?"
"Uh……"
Luo Dapeng frowned and looked out the window.
He was injured so badly, I don't know how much more money it will cost before he can be discharged from the hospital.
Moreover, she was already showing signs of aging and her figure was no longer what it used to be, which is why her sales performance fell short of expectations in May.
Now that he's been beaten and bruised all over, even after he recovers and is discharged from the hospital, he'll definitely have many scars, which will make him look worse and less appealing to customers.
"Damn it, the punishment for poor performance was originally just to motivate the girls and reward the security team brothers."
"I never expected those bastards to be so heartless, treating someone like that. Now they've seriously injured her, aren't they just a burden to the company?"
As soon as Luo Dapeng finished speaking, the bodyguard asked:
"How about I go to the security team and ask those reckless bastards to give me some money to take to the hospital for further treatment?"
"no!"
Luo Dapeng said decisively:
"The brothers who come with me are here to make money."
"If you've caused trouble, just admitting your mistake is enough. Making them pay to settle things is just discouraging to your brothers."
At this point, Luo Dapeng frowned and thought for a moment.
"Here's what you'll do: get ten thousand yuan from the finance department and send it to that woman."
"Tell her to rest in the hospital and that the company will take care of her."
"what?"
The bodyguard looked surprised.
"Does the company have to pay for it no matter how much money it costs?"
"Give me my ass!"
Luo Dapeng said with a disdainful look:
"I'm telling you to fool her, to keep her calm, can't you understand?"
"The boss said things are tense lately, we can't get any cases done. Don't you understand, you idiot?"
The bodyguard nodded with a sheepish grin.
"Got it, Peng! We're just trying to trick her into not causing trouble!"
"Once this period of tension has passed and she has recovered enough, we don't need to pay any attention to her anymore."
Luo Dapeng scoffed.
"Of course, she was already unpopular, and then she was beaten up and hospitalized, leaving her with many scars. Why would we hire a girl like that?"
"What if the company refuses to let her continue working, and she wants to get compensation?" the bodyguard asked curiously.
"Want compensation? Hmph, let her try if she dares!"
Luo Dapeng sneered indifferently:
"Even if you don't beat her so badly she wouldn't recognize her own mother, without any evidence, why should she demand compensation?"
"Even if she appeals and goes to court, do you think she can win? There are so many officials, all of whom are our own people. If a country bumpkin like her could win, the sun would have to rise in the west!"
Changing the subject, Luo Dapeng couldn't help but reprimand:
"However, the security team should also strengthen its training and management."
"Especially for the newcomers, you must make the rules clear to them. They can't act like they've never seen a woman before!"
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard sighed:
"I heard that the person who started the fight was a fellow villager of Captain Tian."
“He committed many petty crimes, such as stealing chickens and dogs in his rural hometown, which made everyone in the village hate him.”
“He couldn’t afford the taxes and labor fees of several hundred yuan at home, so he simply came to Luzhou to seek refuge with Captain Tian.”
Luo Dapeng frowned.
"What the heck? A few hundred yuan in taxes and labor fees?"
"Yes!"
The bodyguard patiently explained:
"Brother Peng, you may not know this, but outside of Handong Province, many places still require agricultural tax, education fundraising, education surcharge, family planning fee, three retention fees, etc., which amount to about seven hundred yuan per household per year."
"Think about it, how much money do farmers make in a year? The harvest is already low, and they still have to bear a lot of expenses such as seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. After a year of hard work, a family can only earn a few thousand yuan at most, but they have to pay a lot of money."
"The various levies and fees are coming up in all sorts of ways, putting immense pressure on farmers and frequently leading to mass conflicts. Didn't we see a case last year in Hanjiang Province where several townships and thousands of people were involved in a case that shocked the entire country?"
Luo Dapeng nodded slightly, then sneered:
"I've heard about that case too. If you ask me, it was well done!"
"Many people in the city are already rolling in money, but many people in the countryside still struggle to afford meat."
"Going out to work is too competitive. You can work yourself to death and not earn much money. After finally saving a little, you pay for your children's tuition and your parents' medicine and medical expenses. What's left?"
Born in a rural area, Luo Dapeng felt resentful whenever he thought about his past poverty.
At the request of his elder brother Huang Wusheng, he studied and attended classes to catch up on some knowledge.
We know that the problems of rural difficulties and the suffering of farmers are not so easy to solve.
China still faces a serious problem of labor surplus.
Since the opening up, hundreds of millions of farmers have flooded into the cities like a flood.
Unfortunately, a large number of state-owned enterprises underwent restructuring, resulting in the layoffs of tens of millions of urban workers.
Based on the principle that scarcity increases value.
Such a large labor force naturally leads to extremely low prices.
Whether it's working in a factory or on a construction site.
Selling cheap labor naturally only earns a meager living.
This was, of course, unacceptable to Luo Dapeng, who was lazy and averse to work.
Therefore, he preferred to mingle in the underworld, engage in violence, and commit all sorts of evil deeds.
However, today, he heard his elder brother Huang Wusheng tell him that the Zhao family father and son were going to launch a grassroots rectification storm in Handong, to clean up and rectify historical problems in rural areas, and to vigorously build and develop new rural areas.
His first reaction was that the Zhao family father and son were genuinely doing good deeds and practical things for the people.
The original purpose of cracking down on corruption and organized crime was to stand up for the people and uphold social fairness and the dignity of the law.
Moreover, excess industrial capacity and financial capital in cities should be transferred to rural areas to help farmers increase their income and become wealthy.
Zhao Lichun, who took the lead in abolishing agricultural tax nationwide back then, is now daring to be the first in the country to build a new countryside for farmers, which makes Luo Dapeng quite happy.
At the very least, with improved infrastructure in rural hometowns, people can drive their luxury cars back home without having to navigate muddy roads, and their expensive cell phones won't be without signal in the villages.
My parents refused to leave their rural hometown, so we built them a new house and bought them a lot of household appliances, so that there wouldn't be frequent power outages that would render our refrigerator, air conditioner, and television unusable.
of course.
Luo Dapeng did not forget his elder brother Huang Wusheng's instructions.
The crackdown launched by Zhao Lichun and his son also had their own selfish motives.
The intention is to take this opportunity to clean up and reorganize the team, replace them with their own people, and thus ensure a solid foundation.
Therefore, at this critical juncture, we must not provoke trouble and give them an excuse to take action.
Moreover, one's position determines one's perspective.
Today, Luo Dapeng is a well-known figure in the underworld of Luzhou City.
They live in detached villas, drive imported Mercedes-Benz cars, and are always accompanied by bodyguards.
Having become a billionaire through risking one's life and committing crimes, how could one possibly empathize with the suffering of others?
He still hopes that the urban-rural gap will remain large enough, so that a large number of young and beautiful rural girls will have to leave their homes and come to the city to work.
In this way, he can continuously attract and lure a large number of young women to join his nightclub by offering high salaries, thus ensuring that his nightclub always has young and beautiful women.
……
After a while.
The imposing and composed Mercedes-Benz W140 slowly drove to the entrance of the Haitian Nightclub.
The security guard, wearing headphones and standing at the door, immediately stepped forward, bent down, and opened the door.
As soon as Luo Dapeng got out of the car, everyone bowed and greeted him.
"Hello, Brother Peng!!"
Everyone greeted them in unison.
Luo Dapeng gave a light, indistinct "hmm".
His gaze casually swept over the female greeters, who were dressed in cheongsams, with graceful figures and exquisite makeup.
"It's getting hot, everyone remember to change shifts frequently and get plenty of rest."
"Take whatever chilled drink you want, drink as much as you like!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone bowed in unison once again.
"Thank you, Brother Peng!"
Seeing the graceful curves revealed when the beautiful women bent over, Luo Dapeng couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile.
He beckoned to a beautiful woman with a good figure.
I could see the panic and fear in her eyes, yet she still had no choice but to obediently come forward.
With his arm around the beautiful woman's slender waist, Luo Dapeng laughed heartily and headed straight for the penthouse suite.
……
The street not far away.
Inside a Santana sedan used to keep an eye on Luo Dapeng.
The two plainclothes officers took in the lively and impressive scene.
However, Luo Dapeng was wealthy and powerful in Luzhou, so the two of them were already used to it.
Eating bread and drinking mineral water...
Two plainclothes officers waited patiently.
As Luo Dapeng's Mercedes-Benz drove away from the Haitian Nightclub again, they immediately followed at a short distance.
A Mercedes-Benz was found to have driven into the Luzhou People's Hospital.
One of the plainclothes officers quickly got out of the car and followed Luo Dapeng's bodyguard into the hospital.
I discovered that this guy was sending flowers and giving money, and he was especially polite to hospitalized patients.
Is this still the same kind of criminal who hangs out in the underworld?
After he left, the plainclothes police officers immediately sought out the attending physician to inquire about his injuries.
Don't ask, don't know, I'm startled when I ask.
When the patient was brought to the hospital, he was already on the verge of death.
It was clear that it had suffered severe violence and that a large amount of whitish liquid had been cleared from its body.
This was clearly an act of repeated humiliation by multiple people, followed by a brutal beating.
However, since the other party claimed to be from Luzhou Haitian Group, the medical staff did not call the police.
After the patient woke up, he did not mention calling the police.
After learning about this situation, the plainclothes police officers did not go to the patient to inquire.
Instead, he quickly reported the situation to Qi Tongwei.
The intelligent Qi Tongwei knew, of course, that there was definitely something wrong with this.
Therefore, he did not act rashly.
She was repeatedly humiliated and nearly beaten to death, but even after regaining her senses, she didn't think of calling the police...
They were either extremely afraid of the Haitian Group in Luzhou and dared not call the police.
Either they inherently identify as members of the group and never even considered calling the police.
Or perhaps she was severely injured after being humiliated by numerous guests, and the company ordered her not to call the police.
Regardless of the possibility, we can send someone to inquire in person; otherwise, we risk alerting the enemy.
Qi Tongwei continued to follow up and conduct undercover investigations.
In doing so, they gradually uncovered the criminal gang led by Huang Wusheng, including its organizational structure, activity patterns, and main locations, while secretly gathering evidence.
of course.
Qi Tongwei did not ignore the woman who was seriously injured and hospitalized.
He secretly arranged for someone to pose as a patient and stay in the bed next to the woman.
Try to get close to her and chat with her, hoping to find a breakthrough by talking to her.
Even if I can't open it, it would be good to learn about Lüzhou Haitian Group through her.
Unexpectedly, the female police officer, who was well-versed in psychology, chatted with him every day and showed him all sorts of concern and care, and actually learned quite a bit about the situation.
Despite making significant progress every day, Qi Tongwei remained inactive and did not rashly close the net.
Over time.
Luo Dapeng, on the other hand, naturally became a bit lax.
Gamblers, especially those addicted to gambling, are inherently shameless.
They owe usurious loans, and they won't repay them unless we use ruthless methods to force them to do so.
Moreover, the group of brothers also make money by collecting debts; the more debts they collect, the more commission they receive.
Who can stand having holidays every day and not earning any money?
Other businesses similar to this have also been severely affected.
Every day I try to keep a low profile, I'm losing a lot of money.
As time went on, his brothers started to complain, and Luo Dapeng found it increasingly difficult to cope.
June 11th.
Huang Wusheng, the eldest brother, did not live to see Zhao Ruilong arrive in Lüzhou.
Instead, he was invited to Jingzhou to attend his birthday party.
The Crown Prince of Handong extended a warm invitation, and Huang Wusheng naturally had to give him that courtesy.
Considering that his elder brother was invited to the birthday banquet, he must have reached an agreement with Zhao Ruilong.
Moreover, Huang Wucheng, the eldest brother's elder brother, is also going to Jingzhou to attend the provincial meeting on rectifying the work style of grassroots cadres.
So as soon as Huang Wusheng and his brother left Luzhou, Luo Dapeng told his brothers to keep a low profile.
Just like collecting debts is fine, but don't go to someone's house wielding knives and sticks, it's too scary.
Luo Dapeng believes that as long as one keeps a low profile and doesn't get involved in any cases, there's no way one will be targeted for investigation.
The eldest brother, Huang Wusheng, was invited by Young Master Zhao, and his patron, Huang Wucheng, was able to attend a meeting in Jingzhou.
All of this is enough to prove that the Huang family's position in Luzhou, Handong, remains unshakable.
The so-called rectification storm is just a crackdown on corrupt officials and petty bureaucrats who are inactive or act recklessly.
How could they possibly take action against the wealthy, powerful, and deeply rooted Huang family?
however……
Luo Dapeng obviously didn't know.
Zhao Lichun convened a conference, and Zhao Ruilong hosted a birthday banquet; it was all a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
To catch the thief, first catch the king. Huang Wusheng and his brother have been placed under house arrest. How can their lackeys and accomplices escape?
So when Huang Wusheng, with a beaming smile, raised his glass to toast Zhao Ruilong in the banquet hall where there was electronic shielding and no phone calls could be made,...
At Gao Yuliang's command, Qi Tongwei, who was eager to make progress, went to the front line armed with guns.
Leading a large number of police officers borrowed from other areas, they raided all the venues, including the Haitian Nightclub...
