Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Afterwards, everything seemed to become calm, and even Qi Chenggang, Peng Ziwu and others stopped dealing with Du Shaojie.

This afternoon.

[Xichuan Restaurant] In each store in Guangzhou, people come in almost at the same time to sell "foreign cigarettes".

However, Meng Gang had already issued a strict order, requiring all stores not to purchase such items of unknown origin.

After Du Shaojie found out, he immediately thought of the last time two buyers of the company were set up. His intuition told him that Peng Ziwu and others had not given up their actions against him.

It was just that due to his identity and connections, the other party was very secretive.

"Director Jiao, I have something I want to talk to you about. When are you free?"

"Wait for me at home, I'll be there soon."

Du Shaojie felt tired. He now suspected that the previous poaching was also related to Peng Ziwu and others.

There's no evidence, just a hunch.

He had no choice but to call Jiao Hongtao, wanting to meet with him and ask him in person how to deal with such things.

About an hour later, Jiao Hongtao arrived at Du Shaojie's home.

After listening to the other party's narration, he also felt it was very difficult. Peng Ziwu and others used the fishing method to dig a big hole, and there were countless more holes waiting behind. If you are not careful, you may capsize.

"Boss Du, this kind of thing is hard to prevent, but you have no evidence to prove that they did it. The best way now is to cut the weeds and root them out. If you don't get rid of Qi Chenggang, Peng Ziwu and the like, there will be no peace."

Jiao Hongtao was not clear about the relationship between Du Shaojie and Feng Qingsong, but he understood that he, Lin Zhiyuan and Du Shaojie had all fallen out with Qi Chenggang and others, and it was either the east wind that prevailed over the west wind, or the west wind that prevailed over the east wind.

There have been a lot of changes recently from the province to the city, and Qi Chenggang actually has the possibility of further advancement.

This was undoubtedly bad news for Jiao Hongtao and others. The top priority was to find a way to stop the other party from making progress, and then try to catch the other party's weakness and strive to bring down Qi Chenggang.

Once Qi Chenggang fell, Peng Ziwu and others naturally scattered like monkeys when the tree fell, and were not worth mentioning.

"I was just about to tell you about this. If it's convenient for you, try to find more evidence of Qi Chenggang's illegal activities. Let me tell you this, as long as you have reliable evidence, I can report his crimes."

Du Shaojie called Jiao Hongtao over because he wanted to strike first.

However, he was just a chef, so finding evidence was a matter that had to be left to professionals. However, this was a taboo and could only be done quietly, which was difficult even for Jiao Hongtao.

"Really? Mr. Du, this is not a joke. Once you make a move, you have to succeed, otherwise it will alert the enemy. Well, can you tell me the bottom line? What level can you reach?"

Coincidentally, Jiao Hongtao's faction had long fallen out with Qi Chenggang and others, and had collected a lot of negative information about each other.

He has also been secretly tracking a case recently and has made some progress. However, the time is not right to reveal the matter. If no one from above supports it, it is estimated that it will end up in nothing.

This was not what he wanted, what he wanted was to kill him with one blow.

If this effect cannot be achieved, he would rather wait than attack blindly.

"I know Mr. Feng's secretary Tang Jun. I can ask him to report this to Mr. Feng."

Du Shaojie knew that he had to reveal something, otherwise people wouldn't believe him, so he had to push Secretary Tang out as a shield.

The expression on Jiao Hongtao's face kept changing. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I trust President Du. Wait for my news. As long as I have solid evidence, I will give it to you immediately."

"Okay, it's settled then."

Du Shaojie finally showed a smile. Such days really made him upset. The key was that the other party did not follow the rules and kept using all kinds of insidious tricks. He had to solve the problem.

Jiao Hongtao did not stay long. After reaching an agreement with Du Shaojie, he left in a hurry.

Next, Du Shaojie kept an eye on the inside while waiting for news from Jiao Hongtao. He waited for a week, but there was no movement from the other party.

This evening.

After Du Shaojie had dinner at home, he chatted with Xiaomei and Wang Yuxiu for a while, then went upstairs to take a shower.

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang.

He quickly picked up the phone and heard Jiao Hongtao's voice coming from the receiver.

"Boss Du, I need your help. I discovered something important today, but it also alerted the other party. I was almost surrounded by them, and I had to abandon my car and hide. Please come to the port warehouse to pick me up."

Jiao Hongtao was making a phone call outside and the sound was very noisy.

His tone was anxious and his situation was dangerous.

Du Shaojie didn't waste any time. He immediately arranged a meeting place, hung up the phone and went out.

He called Wang Yongli, and the two drove straight to the port warehouse. To be honest, he was very upset during the whole journey. Jiao Hongtao was a branch director after all, how could he be in danger? It was incredible.

It also shows that Jiao Hongtao must have the key evidence, otherwise the other party would not be so desperate.

"Yongli, we're going to pick someone up later. Once we get the person, retreat immediately and be careful."

Du Shaojie gave Wang Yongli a warning, and the other party immediately understood what he meant, and his eyes became sharper than usual.

An hour later, the vehicle arrived at the pick-up point.

This is the outskirts of the port warehouse, there are many temporary buildings, and there are many people on the street, many of whom are sitting in front of snack stalls drinking beer. The car turned around and stopped on the side of the road.

Du Shaojie asked Wang Yongli not to turn off the engine. He got out of the car alone and walked around nearby.

Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind. Just as he was about to move, he heard Jiao Hongtao say, "Don't look back, get in the car quickly."

Jiao Hongtao ran over from the darkness, put his arm around Du Shaojie's shoulders and left quickly.

Du Shaojie knew that now was not the time to ask questions, so he quickly walked towards his car.

"Stop! I advise you not to resist. Be honest, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

Less than ten meters away from the car, the two men suddenly stopped.

They were surrounded by seven or eight people, and both of them felt the guy pressing on their waists. The consequences of resistance were unpredictable. The key was that innocent people might be hurt.

Du Shaojie and Jiao Hongtao looked at each other, and finally followed them into the storage area.

After walking a long way inside, the group arrived at a warehouse. The warehouse was a large standard warehouse, divided into several areas, and at a glance, it was filled with boxes of "foreign cigarettes" everywhere.

"Get in!"

The two of them were pushed into a separate office, where Peng Ziwu was sitting on a chair, looking at them with a bad face.

"Peng Ziwu, do you know what you are doing? As a cadre, you are actually involved with smugglers. Don't you think you are no longer qualified to wear that uniform?"

Peng Ziwu did not shy away from the issue and was too lazy to argue with Jiao Hongtao.

The "foreign cigarettes" piled up in the warehouse were almost all confiscated smuggled cigarettes that he and Qi Chenggang secretly made their own through illegal means.

It turns out that a considerable portion of the smuggled foreign cigarettes on the market are actually provided by these two guys.

"Bah! Worms!"

From the moment they saw Peng Ziwu, Du Shaojie and Jiao Hongtao knew that neither of them might be able to walk out of the storage area alive.

"Director Jiao, please take out the things. I may consider letting you go."

Peng Ziwu curled his lips, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and someone next to him immediately lit it for him.

In fact, he was in a difficult situation. No matter who he killed, Du Shaojie and Jiao Hongtao, he would be in great trouble. By then, not to mention Qi Chenggang, even the king of heaven could not save him.

Therefore, he just wanted Jiao Hongtao to hand over the collected evidence and then move the things in the warehouse away.

Once the evidence is destroyed, release the two men. Without evidence, nothing they say will be of any use.

"Things? What things? I don't know what you are talking about."

Jiao Hongtao pretended to be confused and didn't respond to the other party's words at all.

Du Shaojie kept his mouth tightly shut, but a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"You are so shameless, aren't you? Search for me."

Peng Ziwu was furious and grabbed a wooden stick and hit Jiao Hongtao on the back.

Jiao Hongtao groaned and his face turned red. It was obvious that he was hit hard.

Then several people rushed forward, pinned Jiao Hongtao and Du Shaojie to the ground, and tied their hands behind their backs.

Immediately afterwards, someone searched Jiao Hongtao and Du Shaojie from head to toe, but found nothing useful.

"Look, I told you that we didn't have what you wanted, but you didn't believe me. Now that we've been beaten and searched, you can let us go, right? Mr. Peng, I remind you not to forget your identity."

Jiao Hongtao grimaced in pain, but had no intention of lowering his head.

Peng Ziwu was furious and had Jiao Hongtao beaten again, forcing him to tell the whereabouts of those things.

Jiao Hongtao just refused to say a word. Anyway, the other party didn't dare to kill him, so he decided to delay it as long as possible.

"Lock them up first and don't let them escape. If they dare to escape, break their legs."

Peng Ziwu was now in a difficult situation. He had someone lock Du Shaojie and Jiao Hongtao in a small dark room, then immediately left the port by car and went to find Qi Chenggang to discuss countermeasures.

"Boss Du, it's my fault today. I've implicated you."

The small dark room is a small compartment in the warehouse with no windows, and there are two people guarding the door.

Jiao Hongtao knew that the two of them could not escape, so he sighed and apologized to Du Shaojie.

"Let's not talk about these nonsense, let's find a way to escape as soon as possible."

Du Shaojie did not ask the other party why he came alone to investigate, because the matter involved his boss Qi Chenggang, and his investigation was not in compliance with regulations.

But the two of them had fallen into Peng Ziwu's hands, and it was hard to predict whether it would be a blessing or a disaster.

No matter what, being able to escape is the best, but at worst, we have to find a way to spread the news that the two have been kidnapped.

In the darkness, both of them stopped talking, and were silently trying to find a way to untie the restraints on their bodies before they could talk about other things. (End of this chapter)
