Chapter 174 What can we use to fight against the powerful and wealthy?
What can ordinary citizens do to fight against the powerful and wealthy? Zhang Ping and her family compromised, changed their statements, and received 20,000 yuan and a job at the textile factory.
In the interrogation room, Director Jin obtained Zhang Ping's new confession and felt very confident.
"Qi Tongwei, you really went all out. According to the doctor's initial examination, almost everyone you hit is seriously injured. Zhang Ping changed her story and said it was just a joke between friends."
Qi Tongwei couldn't help but applaud, "It seems the Zhong family really has a lot of influence; they're quite adept at distorting the truth."
Director Jin remained unfazed, considering it an honor to be on the Zhong family's big ship.
"Qi Tongwei, stop talking nonsense. As long as you admit your mistake, we can plead with the judge to say that you were drunk and misunderstood, and that you meant well but caused harm."
Qi Tongwei found it laughable. "Director Jin, it seems your time as director is coming to an end."
Enraged, Director Jin slammed his hand on the table. "Qi Tongwei, I'm giving you a chance. Don't be ungrateful. You've seriously injured many people; your sentence will be at least ten years."
Qi Tongwei yawned, still a little sleepy. "Director Jin, we both know the truth of this matter. Whether Zhang Ping's family received benefits or were threatened by the Zhong family, they had no choice. I don't blame them, but I believe that in this vast capital city, there must be someone who can give me justice."
He doesn't believe in justice, whether he's Chief Jin or a policeman. He's offended the wrong people; what justice can a common citizen like him expect?
"Qi Tongwei, your case has been transferred to the procuratorate. You'll have to wait for the justice you seek."
Qi Tongwei was sent to the detention center, and Zhong Zhengmei declared that she would make Qi Tongwei stand in court for trial within a week.
"What's the name of the new guy?"
In the detention center, more than twenty people were crammed into a single cell, and the blankets were all moldy. The tall guy was the boss inside, and he would basically beat up any newcomer who came in. That was how he established his authority.
Qi Tongwei stretched, and everyone stared at him curiously. This kid looked fair and delicate; he didn't seem like the kind of person who would commit a crime.
The tall man, annoyed, suddenly stood up, towering over Qi Tongwei by half a head. "Grandpa's asking you a question, can't you hear me?"
Qi Tongwei was all too familiar with the rules of the detention center. "I don't want to cause trouble, and you all shouldn't cause trouble for me either. It's best if we all get along peacefully."
These words were a direct slap in the face to the tall man: "Kid, what kind of gang are you in?"
Immediately, everyone stood up and followed the tall man. Most of them were forced to stand up because they would be beaten if they didn't.
Qi Tongwei clenched his fist. "I'm not a gangster. If you insist on setting rules for me, I don't mind fighting you."
Arrogant. I've said all that, there's nothing more to say.
"You're pretty arrogant, kid. Grandpa'll teach you a lesson right now."
The tall man raised his fist, the size of a sandbag, and slammed it at Qi Tongwei's head. Qi Tongwei swung his hand to block, and punched the tall man in the face. He then followed up with two more punches, knocking the tall man unconscious.
Two fearless men rushed forward, but Qi Tongwei kicked them both away with a single kick. The rest of the men were stunned. This kid was too good at fighting; no wonder he was so arrogant. They all had no choice but to back down.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? No fighting! No fighting!"
The prison guard, baton in hand, quickly opened the door. "Everyone, put your hands on your heads and squat down! Put your hands on your heads and squat down!"
Since he was already there, Qi Tongwei had no choice but to squat down with his head in his hands.
The prison guard quickly pinched the tall man's philtrum, and the tall man woke up groggily, his face so swollen that he couldn't speak.
"Tell me, who started the fight?"
The others looked at each other, not daring to speak, while two others lay on the ground in so much pain they dared not cry out.
Qi Tongwei raised his hand, "Officer, it's me."
The prison guards, of course, knew it was Qi Tongwei. "Why were you fighting?"
"I just joined, and this guy wants to set rules for me. It's not that I'm less skilled than him, but I'm the one setting the rules for him."
He's so arrogant right after coming in; it seems the colleague who brought him here was absolutely right.
"Qi Tongwei, you fought and injured someone, violating prison rules. You'll be in solitary confinement for three days. Any objections?"
"No, officer."
Qi Tongwei would rather live in a small, dark room than squeeze in with a group of grown men and smell stinky feet.
"take away"
There was no light in the dark room, and the greatest fear came from within.
"Don't give him any food or drink for three days, let's see how arrogant he gets then."
Not being given food and water would be a disaster for others, but it was no big deal for Qi Tongwei, because he always kept food and water hidden in his space.
Qin's hometown.
When Qin Xue heard that Qi Tongwei had been put in solitary confinement, she immediately became agitated. "Grandpa, please, the detention center is dark and damp, and the small dark room is no place for a human to live."
Old Qin wasn't surprised at all that Qi Tongwei was put in solitary confinement. This kid wasn't one to suffer a loss; he'd definitely get into a fight once he got to the detention center.
"My dear granddaughter, I know you're anxious, but everything takes time. That kid's tough skin, a little hardship is nothing to him."
Qin Xue was genuinely worried. "Grandpa, how much longer?"
"Grandpa can't say for sure, but I'll definitely get that kid out within a month."
A whole month! Qin Xue felt like the sky was falling. She didn't know if Qi Tongwei could hold on for that long.
Grandpa, can't you hurry up?
"Okay, okay, Grandpa will try to be as fast as possible."
After leaving the People's Hospital, Zhong Xiaoai dragged Hou Liangping to Xidan to go shopping for clothes. She was in a great mood after hearing that Qi Tongwei had been detained and put in solitary confinement.
"Liangping, based on your judgment, how many years should Qi Tongwei be sentenced to?"
Hou Liangping sighed, "At least ten years, Professor Gao must be heartbroken."
"Why are you sighing? Qi Tongwei brought this on himself. Don't let your sympathy get the better of you, especially don't show it in front of my family."
Hou Liangping isn't stupid. He doesn't even dare tell the old man about Zhong Xiaoguang's injury. The old man is a man of strong principles; if he knew the truth, he would never allow his daughter to do such a thing.
"Xiao Ai, I always feel a little uneasy. Look at Qi Tongwei, he seems to have everything under control."
"Liangping, have you been driven mad by Qi Tongwei's accident? The evidence of his assault and injury is irrefutable and cannot be denied. I know you're soft-hearted, but think about how he treated you. Where is there even a shred of friendship?"
Hou Liangping was furious when he recalled Qi Tongwei mocking him for being a kept man; it felt like a knife was being plunged into his heart.
It's his skill to win over Zhong Xiaoai; what right do others have to criticize him?
"Xiao Ai, I'm not sympathizing with Qi Tongwei, I'm just saying it's always better to be safe than sorry."
Zhong Xiaoai smiled dismissively. The Zhong family members were already being too kind to give Qi Tongwei even a second glance.
"Liangping, you underestimate my aunt. There's nothing my aunt can't accomplish."
"Xiao Ai, that's not what I meant. Let's not talk about Qi Tongwei anymore. I'll buy you whatever you want to buy today."
"boast"
Zhong Xiaoai didn't want to follow in her aunt's footsteps and have an arranged marriage. The reason she was attracted to Hou Liangping, besides his academic performance, was mainly because he was handsome. Sometimes, good looks are a stepping stone for men.
As expected, Zhong Zhengmei got the public security, procuratorate and courts in a week, and she wanted to send Qi Tongwei to prison as quickly as possible.
Qi Tongwei stood in the courtroom, looking much more energetic in his clean clothes, and even gave Qin Xue a flirtatious wink.
This week felt like an eternity for Qin Xue. The pain of love was truly unbearable, and longing was a real illness. She even regretted falling for Qi Tongwei; she should have known better than to eat the grapes he gave her.
