"That really surprised me!"

Lin Yaodong looked straight into Qi Tongwei's eyes, with a complicated expression on his face.

His deep eyes narrowed slightly, as if he wanted to see the young man in front of him clearly.

Lin Yaodong actually did not lie. Just half an hour ago, he was still at home thinking about how to deal with Qi Tongwei's strategy.

Later, someone suddenly came with news that the police had broken into the village and arrested one of the villagers.

As the village chief of Tazhai Village, he naturally could not ignore such a thing, so he rushed over here as soon as possible.

In fact, he arrived at the scene more than ten minutes ago, just one step later than Lin Zonghui.

Lin Yaodong was indeed surprised when he found out that the leader of these policemen was the newly appointed Public Security Bureau Chief Qi Tongwei.

After all, he had been thinking about how to deal with Qi Tongwei today, but the other party actually appeared under his nose so quickly. How could Lin Yaodong not be surprised?

After thinking for a moment, he stopped and decided to observe the situation first.

There are two main reasons why he has been staying in the dark and has not appeared yet.

One of them is that the arrested Lin Shengwen belongs to the third house and has no direct interest relationship with him.

Taking this into consideration, Lin Yaodong was naturally not in a hurry to appear.

But the more important point is that he wanted to use Lin Zonghui to first assess Qi Tongwei's strengths and weaknesses, so that he could be adequately prepared when facing Qi Tongwei in person.

However, after seeing the confrontation between Lin Zonghui and Qi Tongwei just now, Lin Yaodong not only failed to think of any good countermeasures, but his worries became even greater.

Because in his opinion, Lin Zonghui had handled the situation quite well a few minutes ago.

First he used his power to pressure people, and when the evidence was before him he resorted to appeasement and bribery.

Even Lin Yaodong himself couldn't think of a better way to deal with the situation at the first moment.

But even so, Qi Tongwei still did things very flawlessly, without even the slightest chance of giving in.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yaodong immediately realized that the newly appointed Public Security Bureau chief was definitely not as simple as he had imagined.

He has lived for so many years and has dealt with quite a few people in official circles.

Generally speaking, young people in their twenties like Qi Tongwei, even if they can righteously refuse bribes, will still have some hesitation in their hearts.

But Lin Yaodong had observed carefully just now that when Qi Tongwei rejected Lin Zonghui, there was no change in the expression on his face, and it was obvious that there was no trace of struggle in his heart at all.

As a young man, he can be so cunning, which is really scary.

After realizing this, Lin Yaodong frowned even more tightly.

After all, his son Lin Jingwen is still in the hands of the other party.

But Qi Tongwei is obviously not an easy person to deal with, so how can he get his son out?

Lin Yaodong pondered for a long time, but still couldn't think of any good solution.

It wasn't until Qi Tongwei was about to lead the team away that he had to make his debut...

"Oh? Secretary Lin is really surprised?"

Qi Tongwei raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Lin Yaodong and said with a smile:

"Was it an accident that I captured Lin Shengwen, or was it an accident that I appeared in Tazhai?"

"Or do you simply not welcome me to come to Tazhai to arrest people?"

When Lin Yaodong heard Qi Tongwei's words, his expression froze, as if he had never expected Qi Tongwei to speak like that.

However, he was calm and composed after all, so it was impossible for him to be disturbed by a few words from the other party. So he just smiled and responded:

"Director Qi, you're joking. Your presence here brings honor to our humble Tazhai Village. How could I not welcome you?"

Having said that, Lin Yaodong looked at the surrounding environment and said with some regret:

"It's a pity that the weather is not very good today, and it's a bit of a mess here."

"How about this, Director Qi, you bring the brothers to my house for a cup of tea, so that I can properly fulfill my hospitality."

After he finished speaking, Lin Yaodong waved his hand lightly, and his men immediately made way for him.

These big men in black stood by the roadside with their hands hanging down, their eyes focused on Qi Tongwei, and there seemed to be a hint of coercion.

Their actions seemed to be saying: Since Uncle Dong has spoken, you have to drink this tea whether you want to or not!

Looking at the posture of this group of people, Cai Yongqiang and others felt anxious again.

They originally thought that they could withdraw after getting rid of Lin Zonghui, but now it seems that Lin Yaodong is determined not to let them go.

This matter seems to be getting more and more troublesome...

Unlike Cai Yongqiang, Li Fei and others, Qi Tongwei's expression did not change at all, as if he did not take Lin Yaodong's threat seriously at all.

"Secretary Lin, what are you planning to do? Are you planning to detain me, the Public Security Bureau Chief, in Tazhai as well?"

Qi Tongwei narrowed his eyes, glanced at Lin Yaodong, and said word by word.

Hearing Qi Tongwei's words, a smile suddenly appeared on Lin Yaodong's face, and he shook his head and said:

"Director Qi, you're joking. How could I have the guts to do such a thing?"

"All I want is for everyone to sit down and have a good talk. After all, it's never good to be too extreme."

Although there was still a hint of smile in Lin Yaodong's tone, the expression on his face had gradually become serious.

The aura of Uncle Dong, who was feared by the entire Dongshan City, was clearly displayed at this moment!

"is it?"

Qi Tongwei seemed not to notice the change in Lin Yaodong's expression. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he said:

"What if I say no?"

After the last word fell, Qi Tongwei's expression suddenly became extremely cold, and his entire aura suddenly burst out.

The two overwhelming forces collided with each other in an instant, causing the surrounding villagers to breathe faster and take several steps back involuntarily.

In this tit-for-tat situation, the whole place fell into silence for a moment, with only the sound of raindrops falling from the eaves.

Lin Yaodong frowned tightly, looking at the young man standing in front of him, a feeling of helplessness surged in his heart.

Finally, he sighed softly and said coldly:

"You can take your people away, but Lin Shengwen must stay with me!"

He did have the idea of keeping Qi Tongwei, but it was obviously unrealistic to do so.

If he dared to attack a director of the Public Security Bureau at this moment, what would greet them in Tazhai the next moment might be an anti-terrorism operation by the armed forces.

Lin Yaodong is also an old fox, how could he do such an impulsive thing?

The only purpose of his appearance was to save Lin Shengwen.

Although he had no good feelings towards the people from the third branch, what was at stake now was the reputation of Tazhai Village.

If the police really allowed the people of Tazhai Village to be taken away so easily, his prestige in the eyes of the public would be greatly reduced in the future, and many things would be beyond his control.

This is obviously what Lin Yaodong does not want to see.

So at this time, he had to show a tough attitude.

Lin Shengwen, you can’t be arrested by the police no matter what!

Seeing Lin Yaodong's arrogant attitude, Li Fei was so angry that he couldn't help but shout:

"Lin Yaodong, we've caught Lin Shengwen red-handed. What reason do you have to stop us police from taking him away?"

As he spoke, Li Fei subconsciously raised the plastic bag in his hand, and the huge amount of drug money was once again exposed to everyone.

He just used this trick to scare away the surrounding villagers.

So in his opinion, no matter how arrogant Lin Yaodong was, he couldn't possibly not care about this at all.

Hearing Li Fei's words, Lin Yaodong turned his head suddenly, and a gloomy look appeared on his face.

He glanced at the drugs in Li Fei's hand calmly, and suddenly said with a sneer:

"Haha, you said this is evidence, so he is the evidence?"

"Before the test results come out, how can we conclude that this is drugs and not laundry detergent?"

Li Fei frowned tightly, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face. He obviously didn't understand what Lin Yaodong meant.

Not only Li Fei, but also the villagers of Tazhai Village around him were all puzzled.

Obviously, they didn't understand what Uncle Dong was trying to express.

After all, anyone could see that the black plastic bag must contain drugs, but why did Lin Yaodong say it was laundry detergent?

Just before Li Fei was about to speak, Lin Yaodong suddenly smiled and shook his head, saying lightly:

"Li Fei, I can promise you."

"Even if what you have in your hand now is real white powder, what you bring back to the police station must have become ordinary laundry detergent."

"I wonder if you believe what I say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Fei's face was suddenly filled with anger.

If there is still someone who doesn't understand the meaning of Lin Yaodong's words, then he is really a fool.

The other party clearly meant that even if you police could find evidence, you would never be able to get out of Tazhai Village.

Thinking of this, not only Li Fei, but the faces of the remaining policemen also turned ugly.

Among them, Cai Yongqiang frowned tightly and couldn't help but ask:

"Lin Yaodong, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Why get yourself involved for a nobody?"

Hearing Cai Yongqiang's words, Lin Yaodong shook his head slightly and said with a sneer:

"Captain Cai, you are wrong."

"It's clear that you police officers didn't get any evidence during the looting. What does this have to do with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding villagers instantly understood what Lin Yaodong meant, and moved closer to the group of police with ferocious expressions.

At the same time, they also admired Lin Yaodong's response.

It’s no wonder that the village chief is the village chief. His brain is much better than those of ordinary people.

Since the police keep saying they have found evidence, wouldn’t it be better to just take the evidence back from them?

If they had thought of this earlier, they wouldn't have to be in the rain for so long...

Looking at the villagers rioting in front of them, Cai Yongqiang, Li Fei and others' faces turned ashen.

The current situation is indeed somewhat beyond our expectations.

Even Cai Yongqiang, who thought he knew Lin Yaodong somewhat, did not expect that the other party would actually dare to instigate his subordinates to take action.

You have to know that there were less than ten people present. How could they face the attack of hundreds of thugs?

So for a moment, the situation seemed extremely critical.

"enough!"

At this critical moment, a loud voice suddenly exploded in everyone's ears, causing the rioting crowd to temporarily stop.

Who else but Qi Tongwei could calm the factory down in an instant?

"Lin Yaodong, I have to say, you are really brave!"

Qi Tongwei lowered his voice and said this, his eyes looking at Lin Yaodong full of depth.

"I've heard for a long time that Tazhai Village was originally just a small fishing village in Dongshan City, and almost all the villagers were extremely poor."

"But in just about 20 years, Tazhai Village has become the most prosperous village in Dongshan City, and has even been recognized as an advanced collective every year."

"This speed of development has even aroused the curiosity of some leaders in Handong Province."

Having said that, Qi Tongwei glanced at Lin Yaodong indifferently, and sneered again and said:

"But in my opinion, the development of Tazhai Village is inevitable."

"After all, with a village director as bold as you, Lin Yaodong, what can't be accomplished?"

Hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Lin Yaodong smiled and waved his hand.

"Director Qi, you're too kind. The current situation in Tazhai Village is definitely not achieved by my efforts alone..."

However, although Lin Yaodong spoke politely, his heart was already filled with coldness.

Of course he could hear that Qi Tongwei was not flattering him at all, but was pointing at him with these simple words.

The other party's previous sentences clearly said that your Tazhai Village is developing too fast and has been targeted by provincial leaders.

And the last sentence shows that Lin Yaodong has made an "indispensable contribution" to the abnormal development of Tazhai.

Regardless of whether this skill is good or bad, you, Lin Yaodong, cannot escape responsibility...

Thinking of this, the gloom on Lin Yaodong's face gradually became more obvious.

"Director Qi, no matter what you say, you can't take Lin Shengwen away today."

"So I advise you, if you don't want to come to my house for tea, then take your brothers home and go to bed."

Lin Yaodong knew that no matter whether the other party had any hidden intentions or not, he could not show any sign of retreat at this time.

Otherwise, wouldn't it prove that he has something fishy up his mind?

"is it?"

Qi Tongwei narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said with a smile:

"If I were to exchange one of my people for Lin Shengwen, would you be willing?"
