Chen Dazhuang never expected that Li Weidong would invite his brother.

But they didn't know how powerful Zhou Qing was.

Chen Dazhuang's lips trembled slightly. He hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but finally shook his head and said, "Brother, stop asking, I can't say it. You go and let me be quiet alone."

Chen Daniu felt even more anxious when he saw his younger brother being so stubborn. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, saying as he walked: "Dazhuang, think about me, think about our family. What will happen to you in the future if something really happens to you? Do you have the heart to let me live alone for the rest of my life? And our parents are watching from the sky, and they don't want to see you being so obsessed."

Chen Dazhuang felt a stinging pain when he heard his brother mention his parents. He lowered his head, held his head with both hands, and was silent for a long time. Finally, he slowly spoke: "Brother, I... I was plotted against. But I can't tell who that person is. If I say it, I will be dead."

When Chen Daniu heard this, he squatted down and said anxiously: "Dazhuang, don't be afraid, there is a brother here. No matter who it is, as long as he dares to bully you, I will not let him go. Tell me, who is it? Let's find a way together."

But after hearing his brother's words, Chen Dazhuang still lowered his head, bit his lips tightly, and said nothing. He was still worried that if Zhou Qing was offered, the days ahead would not be able to be passed. Zhou Qing would definitely try his best to take revenge on himself and his brother.

Chen Daniu suddenly became annoyed when he saw his younger brother's stubborn appearance. He stood up and walked back and forth a few steps in the room. He said as he walked, "Dazhuang, you are going to piss off your brother to death! Our parents left early, and before their death, they repeatedly told me to take good care of you, but now you have committed such a big thing and are you unwilling to tell your brother the truth, are you worthy of your parents' spirit in heaven? Today I have to teach you a good lesson for your parents!"

As he said that, Chen Daniu walked up to Chen Dazhuang a few steps, raised his hand and greeted Chen Dazhuang. His beating was really cruel, with a sense of regret in his fist. He beat him and scolded him: "It makes you stubborn and you don't tell the truth. You are so confused that you are still hiding it at this time. You are trying to force yourself to the dead end!"

Chen Dazhuang wanted to take it hard at first, but he couldn't stand it anymore by his brother's beating. He held his head, curled up in the corner, and kept shouting: "Oh, brother, stop hitting, stop hitting, I said, I said, isn't it okay!"

Chen Daniu stopped, panted, stared at Chen Dazhuang with his eyes, and said, "Hmph, now I know what to say? Tell me quickly, who is making trouble behind the scenes?"

Chen Dazhuang said with a sad face and thrust, "It's Zhou Qing, brother, it's Zhou Qing who threatened me. He said that if I don't do what he said and steal the equipment from the steel rolling mill, he would... he would be rude to me and would also cause trouble for you and our family. I really can't help but listen to him, brother, I'm really forced."

Li Weidong and Section Chief Li heard Chen Dazhuang finally let go of the explanation outside the door, and hurriedly pushed the door and entered. Li Weidong asked anxiously: "Chen Dazhuang, tell me quickly, who is Zhou Qing?" Chen Dazhuang sat on the chair, his body trembling slightly, and lowered his head and said slowly: "Zhou Qing, he is just an old salesperson in the trust store on the surface, but in fact, he is not an ordinary person. He was a very powerful person before liberation."

Section Chief Li frowned and asked, "Awesome? What a powerful method? Tell me in detail." Chen Dazhuang raised his head, looked at Section Chief Li and Li Weidong, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "I don't know much about the specifics. I just heard from the older generation that Zhou Qing was a well-known figure in this area before liberation. There seemed to be many people following him, and he was very smart and cunning, and most people dare not provoke him easily."

Li Weidong and Section Chief Li looked at each other, and realized that Zhou Qing was not simple, and there might be many unknown secrets hidden behind it. Li Weidong then asked, "Then why did you have something to do with him? Why did he threaten you to steal the equipment of the steel rolling mill?" Chen Dazhuang sighed and said regretfully: "Oh, it's all my fault that I used to bet and owed a lot of debts. Zhou Qing knew about this from somewhere, so he found me and said that as long as I helped him steal the equipment of the steel rolling mill, he would help me pay off the gambling debts. I was also blinded by lard at that time, so I agreed to him with a fascination."

Section Chief Li said seriously: "You are so confused! Gambling is an illegal thing, and you are still using it for the crime of theft."

Chen Dazhuang lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.

Li Weidong patted Section Chief Li on the shoulder and said to Chen Dazhuang: "It's too late to regret now. Since you have already explained it, please cooperate with us and tell us everything you know about Zhou Qing, and strive to make meritorious service."

Chen Dazhuang looked helpless and regretful. He shook his head with a bitter face and said, "Comrade Li, I really don't want to say it, but I really don't know Zhou Qing very well. I only know that he usually looks like a salesperson in a trust store, but he seems to be quite capable in secret. I don't have much news about the rest."

Li Weidong thought in his heart when he heard this. Although Chen Dazhuang didn't know much, he had already known a key figure like Zhou Qing and some related clues, so he had a direction for investigation. So he shouted outside the door and asked the security officer to take Chen Dazhuang back to the detention room in advance.

Chen Daniu watched from the side, worried about his younger brother's situation. When the security officer took Chen Dazhuang out, he hurried forward and grabbed Li Weidong's arm and asked anxiously: "Comrade Li, then how will my younger brother be punished? I am really unsure, please give me a secret."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Weidong looked at Chen Daniu's worried look, sighed softly, and comforted: "Brother Chen, don't be too anxious. The whole case has not been thoroughly investigated yet. What will happen to your brother's situation depends on the subsequent investigation results and the degree to which he will cooperate next. But don't worry, as long as he continues to actively cooperate and tell the truth about what he knows, we will definitely consider these factors in a comprehensive way and strive to give him a fair handling result."

Chen Daniu heard Li Weidong's words, although he was still in a state of great turmoil, he knew that he could only wait for further news now. He let go of Li Weidong's hand, nodded slowly, and said, "Then... that's OK, Comrade Li, I believe you, I hope you can find out this matter as soon as possible. My brother is ignorant and has made such a big mistake, but he is also coerced."

Li Weidong replied: "Brother Chen, don't worry, we will do our best. We will not wrongly a good person, nor will we let any bad person go. Don't be too anxious during this period. Go back first and wait patiently for the news. We will notify you in time if there is any situation."

Chen Daniu looked in the direction of the detention room again, then turned around and slowly left the security department with heavy steps.

Li Weidong and Section Chief Li hurried back to the office. As soon as Section Chief Li entered the door, he said anxiously: "I think we should stop being slow now. We rushed into the trust store and arrested Zhou Qing, so as to save us from having too many dreams."

After hearing this, Li Weidong immediately shook his head and explained with a serious expression: "Secretary Li, this is not possible. You think, there are many precious antiques stored in the trust store, and there are many customers on weekdays. If we rush in and catch people, if Zhou Qinggou is anxious to jump over the wall and take those antiques or customers as hostages, the situation will be difficult to control at that time, and it will definitely cause big trouble."

Section Chief Li frowned after hearing Li Weidong's words. He scratched his head with his hands and said with some annoyance: "Oh, you're right. I almost forgot all of this in a hurry. Then what do you think we should do? You can't just wait like that, right?"

Li Weidong thought for a moment, then looked at Section Chief Li with a firm look and said slowly: "Secretary Li, I have an idea. I can pretend to be a customer who sells ancestral antiques, so that I can have the opportunity to approach Zhou Qing, and then find a way to lure him out of the trust store. At that time, we will find a suitable location to carry out the arrest, so that we can not only avoid causing chaos in the store, but also successfully capture Zhou Qing. What do you think?"

Section Chief Li's eyes lit up after hearing Li Weidong's plan. He thought about it carefully and felt that this plan was indeed more stable. He nodded and said, "Well, this method is good and feasible. But you have to be careful when you go there. Then Zhou Qing is not a easy-to-handle character, don't let him see any flaws."

Li Weidong smiled and said confidently: "Secretary Li, don't worry, I know what to do. I will prepare in advance and disguise my identity properly and will not let him notice any abnormalities."

Afterwards, Li Weidong began to prepare. He first found some antique imitations, carefully selected a few of them to look more realistic, and then changed into a suit that suited the identity of a customer selling antiques, dressing himself up like a decent one. He also specially learned some basic knowledge and market conditions about antiques so that he could not reveal any flaws when talking to Zhou Qing.

After everything was ready, Li Weidong took the fake antiques and set off towards the trust store.

…

Li Weidong walked into the trust store with those fake antiques in his arms, taking a seemingly casual but actually cautious steps. There were not many people in the store, and customers were browsing the goods in front of the shelves, and the clerks were also busy in an orderly manner.

Li Weidong's eyes quickly glanced around the store, and soon locked in Zhou Qing, who looked like the old man. Zhou Qing was sitting in a corner, wearing a slightly old but neat Zhongshan outfit, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and looking down at a booklet in his hand. It looked like he was a bit old and pedantic.

Li Weidong walked up quietly, with a flattering smile on his face, gently placed the fake antiques on the table in front of Zhou Qing, and said with a smile: "Master, please tell me how much money these ancestral treasures can be sold? I really have no choice. My family is anxious to use the money."

Zhou Qing raised his eyelids slightly, looked at Li Weidong up and down through the glasses, then slowly put on his glasses, reached out to pick up the fake antiques, and looked at them carefully one by one. His eyes were extremely sharp, as if he could see through every detail of the antique.

After a while, Zhou Qing put the things back on the table and said expressionlessly: "Hmph, you are all fakes. Our trust store does not accept such things, so you might as well take them back."

When Li Weidong heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Zhou Qing to see through so quickly, but he pretended to be very angry, his face suddenly turned red, and he raised his voice and said, "Master, what you said is wrong! I am a real ancestral treasure, why did you become a fake when you get to you? I think you don't understand antiques at all. If you don't understand, don't interfere here, and delay my selling of things!"

When customers and clerks around heard the movement here, they all looked at this side. Someone was talking in a low voice, and the atmosphere in the store suddenly became a little strange.

Zhou Qing frowned, obviously not expecting Li Weidong to be so arrogant. He snorted coldly and said slowly: "Young man, I have been working in this industry for many years. I can tell whether it is a fake at a glance. It's useless to mess around here. Don't affect our business, take away the things quickly."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting contents later! Li Weidong had no intention of giving up. He leaned forward, widened his eyes, and continued, "Oh, master, you are relying on your seniority! I think you just don't want to accept my things, and deliberately said that they are fake. If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave!"

Seeing that Li Weidong was so difficult, Zhou Qing frowned even deeper. Although he was a little impatient, he was afraid that he would continue to make unreasonable trouble here to affect the business in the store. In desperation, he had to pick up the antiques again and patiently analyze it for Li Weidong.

He pointed to one of the fake porcelains and said slowly: "Look at the texture of this porcelain, the body of the genuine product is delicate and uniform, and it feels warm when you start, but this piece is much rougher to the touch, and it is obviously not up to standard. There is also this glaze color, the glaze color of the genuine product is naturally smooth and has a clear sense of layering. Your color is too rigid, and it is obvious that it is a modern imitation technique."

As he said that, Zhou Qing picked up another fake jade pendant and showed it to Li Weidong: "Look at this jade pendant again. The real ancient jade has been settled over the years, and the internal texture is natural, with a natural charm. The texture inside your jade pendant is chaotic, obviously it was done by artificially and deliberately. How could it be a real thing?"
