Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 131: Sweep away rats! Beat up dogs!
"Is this Zhang Huaqiang? This is the Nanshi *** Road Police Station. We have received a report from the public that Huaqiang Auto Repair under your name is operating illegally."

Zhang Huaqiang did not feel uneasy when he heard the male police officer's voice on the phone.

Zhang Huaqiang has encountered many similar storms in all the years he has run the auto repair shop, and many people have reported him.

They were just a few fools who had suffered losses, so he wasn't worried.

"Officer, I always abide by the law. I treat both the store clerk and the car owner with my whole heart."

Zhang Huaqiang cried out loudly for injustice, as if the little money in his pocket had nothing to do with him.

"Don't tell me these things. We police will naturally judge whether there are any violations of regulations or laws. What you need to do is to come to the police station at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to accept questioning."

"Remember the time, don't forget it."

"Also, I want to tell you that tomorrow we will go to your store with the market management department to conduct an investigation."

Zhang Huaqiang didn't think much of it. It was just an inspection, and he had seen it many times.

If the police discovered any clues during one inspection, he would have to close his Huaqiang Auto Repair Shop.

It’s not like he’s not in the market management department.

"Okay, okay, officer, I'll be there on time."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Huaqiang threw the phone on the table.

"unlucky!"

"It's just a few thousand dollars, isn't it? You can afford a car, but you're reluctant to spend this little money?"

"A bunch of poor bastards!"

After scolding those angry car owners, Zhang Huaqiang thought of another thing and couldn't help but sigh.

"It looks like we'll have to postpone our visit to Wei Yonghe tomorrow."

"What on earth is there between this old man and his son that is worthy of that person's attention?"

Thinking of the man who came to his shop under the pretext of repairing a car a few days ago, Zhang Huaqiang was a little confused.

Ever since the father and son closed the auto repair shop, their own clerk drove his car into the river and disappeared for unknown reasons.

He understood that this father and son were definitely not as simple as they seemed.

Not only did the two desperate criminals fail to force Wei Jiang to reveal the secret, but the man also disappeared without a trace. It seems that there must be a hidden story that he doesn't know.

A few months had passed since the incident, and he had given up the idea of ​​causing trouble for Wei Yonghe and his son.

Recently, someone suddenly came to his door and asked him to approach the other party on his own initiative. Thinking of the generous reward offered by that person, Zhang Huaqiang's inner restlessness was ignited again when he saw the money.

What's wrong with being in danger?
Wei Yonghe and Wei Jiang had no evidence to confirm that he was the one who ordered the previous events.

Besides, he went there openly and honestly, and he didn't believe those two cowards could do anything to him.

Can this little risk and shame outweigh the huge amount of money and overseas identity?
Zhang Huaqiang, who had long been yearning for an idyllic life overseas, reached out for his cell phone and called his contact in the market management department.

"Hello, Director Huang, it's me, Xiao Zhang from Huaqiang Auto Repair."

"Yes, yes, yes. Recently, a friend brought me some Minhu tea. I am a rough man and I don't want to taste it. I think it would be a pity to waste it. So I thought of bringing some to you. Good things should be shared among friends, right?"

"Okay, I'll take you home tomorrow night."

"I have something that I need your attention. A few unreasonable car owners have just reported to the police that I am operating illegally."

"Director Huang, you know me well. I burn incense and worship Buddha, and donate money to poor mountainous areas every year. How could I do these things?"

"You are the one who understands me, thank you so much."

"Don't worry, I will definitely run it well."

"Bye Director Huang, see you tomorrow night."

When he put down his phone, Zhang Huaqiang looked very smug.

A few people think they can make a big splash, how stupid!
It was a little after 5 o'clock in the morning, when the sky was dim and Wei Jiang got out of the car, he was hit by a chill. The suitable coat he wore at home was not enough.

Looking up at the antique courtyard wall standing in front of him, Wei Jiang felt a warm feeling in his heart.

This is his home. No matter how stormy it is outside, this is where he grew up and there are too many warm and sad memories here.

After entering the door lock code, Wei Jiang pushed the door open and walked in. He passed the painted wall and saw many building materials and tools for decoration placed on the open space in the yard.

There is also a shallow pit next to it which is reserved for the small fish pond that will follow.

Wei Jiang walked into the house with light steps. The feeling of seeing it in person was really different from seeing it in the video.

The smell of wood made Wei Jiang feel that everything was new, and he couldn't help but imagine how it would feel to live in the new house.

“The quality of the housing construction is good.”

Wei Jiang knocked on the wooden furniture installed in the living room and found that the materials were consistent with what he had discussed with the designer before, with no errors in materials or color differences.

When he came out of his room, he accidentally kicked the tools next to him, making a noise.

A voice came from his father's room.

"Who!? Is it Xiao Wang?"

Hearing his father's voice, Wei Jiang quickly responded.

"Dad, it's me."

After some giggling, father Wei Yonghe slowly walked out of the room holding a wooden stick.

Wei Jiang's heart sank when he saw the wooden stick in his father's hand.

No normal person would put a wooden stick more than one meter long in the room when sleeping.

Wei Jiang's expression changed and he said jokingly:

"Dad, the thief would be scared to death if he saw you like this."

Seeing Wei Jiang in front of him, Wei Yonghe's expression relaxed. He put the wooden stick against the wall and looked at Wei Jiang's slightly thin coat.

"Come into the room, I'll find you something to wear first."

I went into the room and sat down. My father's room was very spacious. There was a pillow only on one side of the two-meter bed, and the opened quilt was hanging on the side.

"It's not a big deal. Zhang Huaqiang can't do anything to me even if he comes."

"Just mind your own business."

Wei Jiang took his father's coat and put it on. Without saying a word, he poured himself a cup of hot water and sat aside.

"I didn't come back because of him. I just happened to have something to deal with, so I rushed back and took a look at the house."

"I just looked outside. The house looks really good after the reconstruction. My room is much bigger and the kitchen is brighter."

Speaking of houses, Wei Yonghe's attention shifted, and the father and son talked about the problems encountered during the decoration.

At noon, after communicating with the designer and the construction team, Wei Jiang led a group of people to a restaurant.

The designer has been keeping an eye on things for the past few months, and Wei Jiang felt he needed to thank him.

Although the two parties are in an employment relationship, Wei Jiang can see the other party's hard work and the quality of the house is so good.

"Thank you, Brother Wang. You will have to pay more attention to the finishing work."

Wei Jiang thanked the other party with tea instead of wine, and both the host and the guest enjoyed themselves.

Designer Wang was even more satisfied with this job. Not only was he generous with the money, but during the construction process Wei Jiang boldly left everything to him and rarely interfered.

"It's my duty. Don't worry, Brother Wei. In less than a month, I will definitely give you a grand and warm courtyard."

Putting down the teacup, Wei Jiang walked out of the box and went to the bathroom to urinate.

The restroom was at the corner of the corridor. Wei Jiang walked forward, but the sound coming from the box next to him made him slow down.

"Captain Wu, I heard that the police system is very busy recently. Several friends I know in the police system have been working overtime every day recently."

What made Wei Jiang slow down was the voice of the person talking. It sounded familiar to him and he felt like he had heard it somewhere before.

"Yes, the higher-ups think that the security work in the areas surrounding Nanshi is not good enough, so they issued a document the day before yesterday asking all grassroots units to increase their manpower. I, a small detachment leader, am now very busy."

"We can't slack off on police duties. Just this morning, I went to the auto repair shop with you, Director Huang, to investigate."

Wei Jiang tried to recall the voice. He must have heard the voice of the man called Captain Wu in the box, but it had been so long that he couldn't remember the other person's identity or face.

"You are having a hard time now, and it is not easy for us either."

"You may have heard that dozens of companies and projects in Nanshi need to be sorted out, and the higher-ups are going to buy these companies, which poses a big problem for us."

"Most of these companies are not big, but they are related to many powerful people in the area. It's hard for me to be the bad guy." "How can we do such a thing? Besides, we all know who is behind these companies. It's hard for me, brother."

Feeling that he could still hold the urge to pee in his bladder for a while, Wei Jiang took out his cell phone and pretended to send a message, then stopped where he was and listened attentively.

After hearing what the man inside was talking about in terms of business, Wei Jiang immediately understood that this must be related to the matter he entrusted Tang Wu to do.

Nanshi is said to be very big, but in this area, I think the only one who can participate in the official acquisition of a large number of enterprises is Wei Jiang’s affairs.

"Director Huang, you can just vent your complaints, but you have to get things done seriously."

"These are all tasks issued from the top."

"In my opinion, something big is going to happen here."

Wei Jiang couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart to Captain Wu, whose voice he was familiar with.

Working in the police system, this insight is incredible.

"Brother Wu, you are right."

"But what I want to say is that we are both doing things, so we still need to communicate and take care of each other from time to time."

"You said that, right?"

Wei Jiang frowned as he listened to the conversation inside. He could already guess what the theme of the dinner was.

"Director Huang, this is the way it should be."

"Hahaha, yes."

"Brother Wu, I have something that I need your help with."

"It's the auto repair shop that we were at this morning. I know the boss. He's a nice guy and does a lot of good things."

"As a shop owner, it is understandable that there may be some misunderstandings and conflicts with customers."

"Can you please take care of me? It's not easy to make money in business nowadays. Everyone needs to know some business skills."

"What do you say?"

Outside the door, a video was playing on Wei Jiang's mobile phone. Hong Xing had hacked into the surveillance system of this five-star hotel, and the footage playing on his mobile phone was a shot of the hotel lobby.

One was a half-bald man wearing a dark jacket, and the other was a middle-aged man wearing a police officer's uniform.

In a few moments, the police officer's face was photographed. After seeing his face, Wei Jiang finally remembered where he had seen him before.

When he was wrongly accused of involvement in the theft of BYD's technology and taken to the police station, it was this police officer who received him.

"It seems that Tang Wu is facing a lot of resistance in pushing this matter forward."

While Wei Jiang was sighing, the dinner party inside was still going on.

"Well, this is a difficult matter."

"There are more than one or two people who have called the police. This matter has become a hot topic on the Internet. It is not easy to suppress it, Director Huang."

There was silence for a while, and then the police officer named Wu, whom Wei Jiang had met before, spoke again.

"How about this, Director Huang? If Huaqiang Auto Repair can reach a private settlement with these car owners during the police investigation, I can help out a little bit."

"But if Zhang Huaqiang can't appease these car owners, I can only deal with it according to the law."

"Director Huang, don't be anxious, and don't be unhappy."

"You have to know that the higher-ups are cracking down on the police system right now. If we follow your advice at this time, I might be the first one to be dealt with."

Zhang Huaqiang?!

When Wei Jiang heard the name, he suddenly looked up at the door of the box.

He never expected that the two people inside were talking about that bastard!
"Good job Zhang Huaqiang, you have some energy."

Such an unexpected gain made Wei Jiang no longer want to listen any further.

No matter what the final result of the conversation between the two people in the box was, since he heard it, the plans of Zhang Huaqiang and Director Huang must fail!
Putting away his phone, Wei Jiang turned the corner of the corridor and walked into the bathroom.

At night, after seeing off the construction team, Wei Jiang sat in front of the electric fan in the room, staring at the laptop screen.

The floor heating in my house has not been installed yet, so I can only use an electric fan to support it.

On the screen, Zhang Huaqiang drove his black Mercedes away from the auto repair shop.

Hongxing continued to track Zhang Huaqiang's Mercedes-Benz through local traffic cameras.

Wei Jiang clearly saw Zhang Huaqiang carrying several boxes of things and putting them into the car, including a stack of red banknotes that Zhang Huaqiang stuffed into the boxes.

Wei Jiang knew what Zhang Huaqiang was going to do even if he thought about it.

Wei Jiang was more curious about who the other party was going to see.

Is it Director Huang whom I never met in the box at noon?
Wei Jiang was very much looking forward to seeing the scene when the two met.

More than half an hour later, the surveillance video changed dozens of times, and the Mercedes-Benz drove into a high-end residential area.

Through the surveillance cameras in the community, Zhang Huaqiang got out of the car and picked up the box. The middle-aged half-bald man seen on the hotel surveillance camera at noon met Zhang Huaqiang downstairs.

The two men didn't say a word after they met. The middle-aged man made a gesture and the two got into Zhang Huaqiang's Mercedes-Benz.

"hehe."

Wei Jiang stared at the Mercedes-Benz in the surveillance video.

Although he couldn't hear it, he certainly understood what the two men were doing in the car.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the middle-aged man carried two boxes into the building next door, leaving Zhang Huaqiang alone smoking there. He got into the car and left angrily without finishing his cigarette.

"Red Star, edit the video and post it on those car forums, including the local citizen forum."

"Understood, Commander."

“Do you want me to send the video to the police?”

Wei Jiang nodded in agreement with Hong Xing's proposal after a little hesitation.

"By the way, send the video to the personal email of the police officer at noon."

“Trust the other person to know what to do.”

"clear."

Since Director Huang, who is willing to go along with Zhang Huaqiang and is unwilling to perform his duties, Wei Jiang doesn't mind causing some trouble for him.

"Also, find the record of Director Huang's violations and illegal acts, sort them out and send them directly to the relevant departments in Nanshi."

"These people chose to stand against the outpost base plan, so they must be responsible for their choice."

"Black sheep!"

Wei Jiang couldn't help but curse under his breath.

He has some understanding of the dark side of society, and there must be many people like Director Huang.

When he heard the news before, he was powerless to change it.

Now with Red Star as his best support, Wei Jiang felt that he needed to do something.

"In addition to Director Huang, investigate some people in Xianan City who oppose the outpost base plan."

"Driven by profit, not all of these people are clean."

"Take out all the garbage, sort it out and send it directly to Tang Wu. Tell him to deal with it."

Feeling Wei Jiang's impatience, Hong Xing agreed very readily.

"Okay, it can be done tonight."

Wei Jiang took a breath and closed his laptop.

He was indeed a little impatient.

When he saw his father walking out of the room in the morning with a wooden stick in his hand, he knew that his father must have felt something.

Otherwise, I wouldn't feel so insecure even in my own home.

In the past, he could proceed with various things at will, but now when the danger truly affects his only relative, Wei Jiang feels that he must take the initiative!
"Also, help me check out the illegal armed groups on Blue Star that may be related to Ugly Eagle and make a list for me."

"After dealing with the rats at home, we also have to loosen up the bones of the vicious dogs outside."

"Otherwise they'll think I'm someone you can easily mess with!"
