Chapter 1834 Fatal Strangulation!
As dawn broke through the night, the city of Yanjing was awakened from its slumber.
The morning light streamed through the large glass windows into Sun Qisheng's luxuriously decorated office, but the sunlight did not bring warmth and could not dispel the palpable anxiety and unease within him!
Sun Qisheng sat there for the entire night behind that large desk.
His usual favorite office chair felt like it was covered in needles that night, making him restless and unable to sit still.
The ashtrays on the table were already piled high like a small mountain, burying his composure at this moment.
Brother He hasn't come back yet!
I went out at 11 p.m. last night, and it's still so late...
Nine hours!
He didn't come home all night!
This is absolutely impossible, and it will never happen.
Sun Qisheng knew He Xiaobing.
This person is the sharpest weapon in his hand, and he knows best how to hide it within his blade; he has never made a mistake.
And he has an even more terrifying background: he is the master's man.
I don't know how many dirty jobs I did for my husband.
Putting everything else aside, in terms of experience, he's definitely one of the best at doing dirty work in Yanjing.
Such people almost never fail to report back immediately after completing a task!
If so, there's only one possibility!
He Xiaobing has fallen!
If the operation is simply thwarted or fails, and is discovered, the news will be relayed back very quickly!
But now...
No! There's absolutely nothing!
There was no news of failure, and there was no sign of He Xiaobing!
In Sun Qisheng's heart, the ominous premonition that he was out of control gradually grew stronger, silently tightening his grip on his heart.
He glanced at his watch again, strode to the window, pulled back the half-drawn curtains, and looked down at the gradually awakening street, trying to find that familiar figure in the bustling crowds and traffic.
pity!
After watching for a long time, he only saw a blurry commotion, but did not see He Xiaobing's heroic return!
He didn't come back, but we need to know what happened!
Sun Qisheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart. He suddenly turned around, grabbed the phone on the table, and prepared to call the head of the factory's security department to immediately take people to Li Xiangnan's pharmaceutical factory to observe the area and see what had happened!
But just as he was about to dial the number...
Bang!
The office door was violently flung open, and Sun Yiping, the trusted section chief, stumbled in, his face deathly pale and his lips trembling so much that he could barely utter a coherent sentence.
"What the hell are you doing..." Sun Qisheng trembled in fright and was about to curse.
"Boss, no... something bad has happened... the officials from the Industry and Commerce Bureau are here... saying we're suspected of unfair competition and commercial fraud... and that we're maliciously plotting against our competitors... now they're sealing all our accounts for inspection..."
what?
Sun Qisheng's mind went blank, as if he had been hit by a hammer.
He opened his mouth, but abruptly swallowed the curse he was about to utter, and was about to ask why.
Then, another subordinate, Sun Wang, staggered and lunged at the door like a stray dog.
His voice still carried a hint of a sob, and seeing Sun Yiping and Sun Qisheng made him feel like he had found his pillar of support.
"It's bad, boss... the environmental protection department has arrived... with their urgent test report... saying that the emissions from our three pharmaceutical factories have seriously exceeded standards... endangering public safety... according to the environmental protection law enacted last year... we must immediately cease production and accept the investigation..."
Sun Qisheng swayed, somewhat incredulous.
how come?
He understood the work of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, since the matter concerning Li Xiangnan might be exposed, but the people in the Environmental Protection Department…
They disguised it very well; who else besides their own factory workers would know that they were illegally discharging wastewater?
Ever since they investigated me last year, the whole factory has been extra careful!
"boss……"
Just as Sun Qisheng was filled with doubts, the head of the finance department almost collapsed at the door, weakly saying, "Boss..."
"What the hell is this now?" Sun Qisheng was furious, his anger surging like magma.
"Boss, the tax bureau is here. Section Chief Qiu from the inspection department led a team upstairs. They said they received a formal complaint, and the evidence against us for tax evasion over the past few years is irrefutable... and the amount is huge. They want us to..."
boom!
Sun Qisheng didn't hear what was said after that. He plopped down in the chair opposite the desk. One bad news after another, like thunderbolts that had been waiting to be unleashed, struck him on the head with precision and ruthlessness.
These departments, which he usually respected and tried his best to maintain relationships with, suddenly appeared at the same time this morning, as if they had made a pact, like heavenly soldiers descending upon him!
What's going on here?
Sun Qisheng was panting heavily, and it took him a long time to understand!
This is no coincidence; it's clearly a meticulously planned and synchronized all-out offensive!
The mastermind behind it all is Li Xiangnan!
It can only be Li Xiangnan!
He Xiaobing didn't come home all night, he must be screwed!
Li Xiangnan's counterattack was not limited to just dealing with He Xiaobing. He took advantage of the time difference when He Xiaobing was arrested to mobilize all the forces he could. When Sun Qisheng's attention was entirely on He Xiaobing, and when he was most caught off guard and most exhausted, he launched a comprehensive and deadly attack!
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole..."
Sun Qisheng muttered to himself, finally understanding the bloody meaning of those words.
He thought he was the hunter strategizing behind the scenes, but in the end, he became the mantis that was hunted by others!
Li Xiangnan, the young man he initially disregarded, not only saw through all his schemes but also turned the tables on him, setting up a deadly trap that would lead to his utter ruin!
panic!
Shocked!
disturbed!
These emotions seeped into Sun Qisheng's body like ice water.
Looking at his men, who seemed to have lost their parents, and listening to the clattering footsteps in the corridor and the shouts and curses that tried to stop them, he knew that the business empire he had built up over many years was crumbling at a speed he could not imagine or resist!
There's only one reason!
That means he messed with the wrong person!
Do not!
We can't sit still and wait for death!
A struggle flashed in Sun Qisheng's eyes. As if grasping at the last straw, he suddenly stood up, rushed to the table, grabbed the phone, and shook it rapidly with trembling hands.
"Hey!"
Before the call even connected, Sun Qisheng kept calling, and finally heard that familiar, calm voice from the other end. He quickly said, "Sir, something's happened! Something's happened!"
The voice on the other end remained calm, but now carried a hint of indifference: "What is it?"
“Li Xiangnan, it’s Li Xiangnan! Sir, he plotted to get He Xiaobing arrested! Now the industry and commerce bureau, tax bureau, and environmental protection bureau are all here, I…” Sun Qisheng’s voice was filled with fear and distorted emotion due to his urgency.
"I told you so!"
But Sun Qisheng's words were immediately interrupted by the other party.
"You have to be clean and careful in everything you do. Li Xiangnan is no ordinary person!"
"I know, I know, but now..."
"Something's happened!" The voice on the other end of the phone was completely flat, even carrying a hint of resolute severance. "You know the consequences. I don't know you!"
do not know?
Sun Qisheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his blood seemed to freeze at that moment.
He understood what those words meant!
He was abandoned!
Like a chess piece that has already been used, it was treated as a burden, as a discarded piece!
“Sir, no, you can’t be so heartless…” Sun Qisheng roared.
Beep!
But all he got in response was a cold and resolute busy tone on the phone.
Bang!
The phone slipped from Sun Qisheng's hand and landed on the Persian carpet with a dull thud.
He stood frozen in place, his facial muscles twitching, draining the last trace of color from his face.
While external encirclement is certainly frightening, being abandoned by those behind you is even more despairing.
Bang!
The office door was pushed open, and several uniformed officers walked in. The leader flashed his badge and said, "Comrade Sun Qisheng, please cooperate with the investigation!"
Sun Qisheng shuddered; he recognized the other person—a tax official.
but.
Hurrah!
Just then, the police sirens sounded outside...
