Chapter 295: The Beautiful Leader Recruits Talent from Nearby

Back to Chapter List
?Mobile reading Qin Feng had no doubt about the truth of Qi Tongtu’s statements—when a person’s life is in danger, they are unwilling to lie. He sheathed his dagger and delivered a solid punch to the back of his opponent’s head. Qi, instantly collapsed and lost consciousness. He pulled out his phone and dialed He Leader’s number. As soon as the call connected, He Muqing’s furious voice came through: “Qin, what time is it now? Do you think I’ll hesitate to slice you with a knife!” “Haha, even if I’m sliced to pieces, you still need to come over right away. I already have solid evidence showing Qi Tongtu assisting others in stealing national treasures. With such a significant achievement, I’m certainly going to present it to you.” He said with a cheerful smile. He Leader was first stunned, then spoke with growing excitement: “Having the evidence—excellent! I’ll be there right away. Qin, you’ve done a great job. Wait—did you really deceive me?” Qin, full of confidence, replied: “When have I ever deceived you? To take such a matter lightly? That would be rather amusing, wouldn’t it?” "Why did the leader choose to believe you? In no time at all, she brought Roman, who was already yawning and tired, here with her." "Manman, you're here too?" He greeted her with a cheerful smile. "Thanks to a phone call from the leader—how could I possibly miss it?" The beautiful manager said with a hint of dissatisfaction. "She suspected you were deceiving her, so she brought me along. Having two of us caught in the same lie is better than just one person being fooled!" Qin, the young magnate, looked utterly baffled—how could the leader have ended up being the one to back him up? She glanced at Qi Tongtu, who was lying on the bed, and asked, "What's going on? Why is there blood on his neck? Did you subject him to harsh treatment?" "There's something going on—don't worry about the details. As long as you get the results, that's all that matters." He raised his palm and smacked Qi Tongtu across the face. Qi jumped up from the bed, startled, and looked at the two women and one man before him, taken aback. Previously, when Qin Feng had pressured him, although the lights were not on, he had still recognized him and exclaimed, "You people—what exactly are you? I've already disclosed everything I know. What do you want now?" To calm his emotions, the leader of the delegation lied, saying, "Don't worry—we're police officers." Hearing that they were police, Mr. Qi became enthusiastic: "Well, then, you've treated me unfairly and extracted confessions through illegal means. I'm going to file a formal complaint against you!" "Complain to me, then," Qin Feng kicked him hard in the chest, sending him crashing from the bed to the floor, and demanded, "You'd better stay calm and cooperate—cooperation is your only option. Don't think I won't kill you!" "Police officers are supposed to kill people," Mr. Qi protested. Thud, thud, then a soft thump. This time, it was the leader and the beautiful Luo woman who took action. Using both hands and feet, they pummeled Mr. Qi Tang, who was beaten severely. His once-weathered face swelled into a pig's head, and every part of his body ached. "Feeling satisfied now, the leader remarked, 'For someone lacking self-awareness, a good beating is exactly what they deserve!' Qi, who had assumed he'd manage a stubborn, persistent resistance and expected the other side to be helpless, was surprised to find that they simply decided to hit him—without hesitation—doubled the force the louder he cried. With his age, he finally realized that the three before him were no pushovers, and promptly silenced himself, thus avoiding some of the worst blows. 'You'd better cooperate seriously,' the leader said, thoroughly relieved. 'If you continue to act defiant, I'll keep hitting you.' She particularly disliked people who relied on their age to act stubborn and obstructive. Qin Feng picked up a phone from the bedside table, flipped through the message records between him and the mastermind, and said, 'The evidence is solid—do you still intend to deny it?' "A good beating, combined with the messages being unearthed, completely shattered his last resolve to stubbornly hold on, and he fully disclosed the detailed process of how he had conspired with others to steal the Seal of the Jade. Román took charge of taking the statement. While He Leaded walked out to the living room to call his grandfather and report the leads uncovered, Qin, the young magnate, sat comfortably on his chair with his legs crossed, acting like a seasoned elder statesman. It was quite difficult to trace the mastermind solely through a few messages—making direct contact with Qi Tongtu via text was a shrewd move. Once the Seal was secured, Qi Tongtu simply discarded the mobile phone card used for messaging, severing the trail. The bank account used to transfer funds to Qi Tongtu was verified and found to have been opened using the stolen ID, thus cutting off another line of evidence. After completing the statement, He Muqing handed over the man named Qi to the arriving police officers and had him transferred to the detention center for close supervision." Luo Man handed her the neatly organized report and said, "I believe the mastermind isn't an ordinary person. Although Qi Tongtu helped stabilize the surveillance footage, someone who could complete the theft within just two minutes—besides a seasoned thief—can only be one type of person!" He Liang was momentarily stunned: "Which type of person?" The beautiful manager gestured toward Qin Feng: "A cultivator!" "You're not doubting him, are you?" He Liang smiled. Luo Man shrugged: "Everything is possible, but as colleagues, I still have strong confidence in him. Though he's not exactly a good person, I don't think he'd go so far as to steal national treasures!" He Liang patted her on the shoulder and said: "Good thing you have such capable subordinates. Otherwise, I'd have little confidence in completing this task!" She walked over, kicked the leg of the chair beneath Qin Feng's buttocks, and asked: "What do you think?" Qin Da rose slowly and replied, "At this moment, I don't have any clear ideas. I believe the thief's motive falls into one of two categories: first, the intrinsic value of the jade seal itself; second, certain hidden secrets—such as a connection between the seal and a specific treasure. While the latter possibility is less likely, it's not impossible. If it's for the money, we simply wait for him to act. Then, once he does, we'll have both the thief and the stolen seal in our hands!" He Li also couldn't think of a better course of action and added, "Grandfather has said exactly the same. He will issue orders for the internal guards, the armed police, and the military police to work together, even involving special forces to assist in the search—covering every inch of the country to locate the seal!" Qin Feng shrugged, thinking to himself that with greater power came greater ease—just one word from him, and thousands of people would rush to fulfill his requests, all eager and attentive. "By the way, there's one more matter." "Comrade Li, rubbing his hands excitedly, said, 'Feng, please explain to Cai Wei clearly—have her join our Special Action Team. As for rank and position, that's no problem at all!' With all these talents being pulled away from us, he sighed, 'I can't possibly make the final decision for Weiwei. Head Officer, don't you worry that the entire team will eventually become part of our old Qin family, and I'll take your place!' 'What could I possibly worry about? The more cultivators you bring in, the happier I'll be!' Head Officer, of course, wasn't giving up. He asked, 'How much higher is Cai Wei's rank compared to yours?' Qin, raising one finger, replied, 'Exactly one level higher. Head Officer, I'll relay your message to her. Whether she agrees or not, I can't guarantee.'"
