The Strong Prey on the Weak
"Xia Tian, stop right there!" Qiu Ming almost roared, "Which bastard was so bold as to let you out?"
Qiu Ming's roar almost alarmed the entire criminal police detachment. No wonder Qiu Ming was so angry. After he had his stitches sewn and the drip was hung, he immediately rushed back to the police station from the hospital. His purpose was to convict Xia Tian of murder and avenge his hatred. But when he came back, he found that Xia Tian had been released. How could he not be angry?
"Captain Qiu, I'm Qiao Donghai..." Qiao Donghai hurried forward and wanted to explain the reason. He didn't want Xia Tian to hit someone again. If things went wrong, he would be arrested for assaulting a police officer, and he would not be able to report to Xiao Qiao.
However, Qiao Donghai never expected that as soon as he gave his name, Qiu Ming got furious: "I don't care if you are Qiao Donghai or Qiao Xihai. Is it so great to have the last name Qiao? This Jianghai City is not your Qiao family's, and this murderer is not something you can take away just because you want to. Go back, go back!"
When a few policemen who came out to watch the excitement heard what Qiu Ming said, they immediately felt a little sympathy for Qiu Ming. It's over, this time Captain Qiu is definitely finished.
Qiao Donghai was also angry. Who was he? He was the eldest son of the Qiao family, the head of the three major families in Jianghai, and one of the famous Jianghai Four Young Masters. He looked approachable in front of Xia Tian, because Xia Tian had extraordinary abilities and because he knew Xia Tian's identity better than others. But who are you, Qiu Ming? You are just a small criminal police captain, but you dare to yell at him, Qiao Donghai, and even dare to provoke the entire Qiao family?
"Qiu Ming, you are right. Jianghai City does not belong to our Qiao family, but it is not yours, and even this criminal police brigade is not yours!" Qiao Donghai looked at Qiu Ming coldly. "The serious crime team has found out that Xia Tian is innocent, but you, Qiu Ming, insist that Xia Tian is a murderer. Do you think that your words, Qiu Ming, can represent the law?"
"Innocent? How can he be innocent? This is impossible!" Qiu Ming yelled.
Qiao Donghai sneered: "Just based on what you said, it shows that you are not worthy of being a criminal police officer, or even a police officer at all!"
This sentence is tantamount to a verdict on Qiu Ming. He can never be a policeman again in this life.
"If you say I am not worthy, then I am not worthy..." Qiu Ming seemed completely crazy at this moment in the eyes of others. He even dared to wrestle with Qiao Donghai so hard.
"Qiu Ming, shut up!" An angry shout was heard, and it was Huang Haitao who appeared.
"Director Huang, I..." Qiu Ming wanted to explain. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. In comparison, Qiu Ming is more afraid of this director.
"Go back to the hospital, take good care of your illness, and see a doctor to check your brain!" Huang Haitao shouted sternly without giving Qiu Ming a chance to explain.
"Yes, Director Huang, I'll leave right away." Qiu Ming replied with gritted teeth, but in fact, he did not leave immediately.
Huang Haitao ignored Qiu Ming and hurried towards Xia Tian and Qiao Donghai, looking apologetic: "Mr. Qiao, Dr. Xia, I'm so sorry..."
Qiao Donghai waved his hand to stop Huang Haitao from continuing: "Chief Huang, you don't have to apologize. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again in the future, so, let's get rid of the bad apples in some police stations!"
Huang Haitao's face froze, then he quickly nodded with a smile: "Mr. Qiao is right, the bad apples should be removed to avoid affecting the reputation of the police station."
"Xia Tian, let's go." Qiao Donghai obviously didn't even bother to pay attention to Huang Haitao. Anyone could see that the young master Qiao was in a bad mood at the moment, and the person who made him in a bad mood was Qiu Ming. Everyone, including Huang Haitao, knew that this time, Qiu Ming was doomed.
"Mr. Qiao, Dr. Xia, please take care." Huang Haitao respectfully watched the two men leave. After their figures disappeared, he turned around and looked at Qiu Ming, who still had an unwilling look on his face. He sighed in his heart. Qiu Ming is a good at solving cases, so why is he so slow in other aspects?
Qiu Ming used to compete secretly with Leng Bingbing and even slandered Leng Bingbing behind her back, which made Huang Haitao think that there was something wrong with him. However, some people above him admired Qiu Ming very much, and Leng Bingbing did not use her background to deal with Qiu Ming, so Qiu Ming did not encounter any problems.
But today, he actually offended Qiao Donghai. Isn't this courting death? Which of the four young masters of Jianghai is easy to mess with? If they want to deal with you, they won't do it in a shady way. They will tell you clearly, but you can't do anything about it. Just like now, Qiao Donghai has made it very clear that he wants to expel Qiu Mingqing from the police station, and this will soon become a fact.
That’s right, Jianghai City does not belong to the Qiao family, and the police station does not belong to Qiao Donghai, but the problem is that no one would compete with Qiao Donghai for an insignificant person like Qiu Ming. Not only is it not worth it, but there is no benefit in it, so Qiu Ming is definitely finished.
"Qiu Ming, please come to my office." Huang Haitao sighed in his heart. In fact, Qiu Ming was still a talented person. It was a pity that his brain seemed to be only capable of solving cases. He was not very good at other aspects.
…
Xia Tian and Qiao Donghai did not stay in the police station for long and quickly returned to the Qiao Building. Qiao Xiaoqiao had already been waiting for them in the reception room. Qiao Xiaoqiao's studio which also served as her bedroom was not open to any men except Xia Tian. Only women could enter because Qiao Xiaoqiao's private parts could often be seen there.
"Brother, have the police confirmed that they won't cause trouble for my husband again?" Qiao Xiaoqiao asked a little worriedly.
"Someone has turned himself in, so the police naturally have nothing to say, and Lin Zihao can't accuse Xia Tian out of thin air." Qiao Donghai was quite confident about this. As long as he was right, the Qiao family would not be afraid of the Lin family.
Qiao Xiaoqiao's pretty eyebrows frowned: "Is it really Lin Zihao who wants to punish my husband? Is it just because of what happened that night?"
"If it weren't for Lin Zihao, why would Second Uncle not dare to intervene in this matter?" Qiao Donghai smiled faintly, "As for what happened that night, I'm afraid it's not that simple. There have been a lot of things happening in Jianghai City recently. First, the Ye family got into trouble, then you were assassinated, Gao Mingyang was beaten up by Xia Tian, and Lin Zihao just happened to come back at this time. I'm afraid it's not that coincidental."
After a pause, Qiao Donghai added: "Of course, the fact that Lin Zihao's fiancée was snatched away by Xia Tian in public that night must have been a catalyst. I have a vague feeling that the one who wants to deal with our Qiao family is Lin Zihao. Xia Tian's actions just prompted Lin Zihao to take action in advance."
"Brother, our Qiao family and the Lin family have always lived in peace, and there is no competition between us, right?" Qiao Xiaoqiao was a little surprised.
"It doesn't matter whether there is competition or not. With such a large industry in our Qiao family, there will always be people coveting it." Qiao Donghai shook his head. "There have always been rumors that the Gao family has a backer in Beijing, but I don't know who their backer is. Now I think that the Gao family's backer in Beijing may be the Lin family. Although the Lin family is not a big family in Beijing, it is still a family in Beijing. Most people dare not offend it. This time, Lin Zihao appeared, maybe just to support Gao Mingyang."
"Why think so much? Just kill Lin Zihao." Xia Tian said lazily.
Qiao Donghai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao and smiled bitterly. He really wanted to ask his sister, what on earth is her husband's brain made of? Why are his ideas always so shocking?
Qiao Xiaoqiao also felt a little helpless. She knew more about Xia Tian than anyone else. She knew that Xia Tian had lived in the mountains since he was a child and didn't know much about the outside world. Although he had three masters, strictly speaking, those three masters were not normal people. Under their guidance, Xia Tian's principles of doing things were naturally different from others.
"Husband, I told you before that this world has many rules, and we can't solve everything with violence." Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help but persuade him softly.
Ye Shaoxiong had said something similar to Xia Tian not long ago, but Xia Tian didn't take it seriously. He still felt that violence was the best method.
"Wife, the master said that there is only one ultimate rule in this world, and that is the law of the jungle. As for the other rules, they are just tools of the strong." Xia Tian felt that Xiao Qiao should understand this.
Qiao Xiaoqiao opened her mouth but didn't know how to refute. People in her position knew this very well. The law of the jungle is the eternal truth and it will not change no matter how society develops.
"Xia Tian, you're right. It's true that the strong prey on the weak, but the strong don't just use their fists to solve problems." Qiao Donghai said, "You also said that other rules are tools for the strong, so why don't you use those tools?"
"Oh, I think those are quite troublesome. I like to keep things simple. Killing is the easiest." Xia Tian said casually.
Qiao Donghai was also speechless.
"Forget it, husband, let's not talk about this. Just listen to me and don't hurt others easily. Even if you want to hurt others, you must have a legitimate reason. On the other hand, if you don't have a legitimate reason, you can't let anyone catch you, so that you don't get caught by the police like today, okay?" Qiao Xiaoqiao hugged Xia Tian's arm and begged in a soft voice.
"Okay." Xia Tian was a little reluctant, but he still agreed. He is a man who loves his wife, and he usually agrees to anything his wife asks him for.
Qiao Donghai breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that Xiao Qiao was the one who had the solution. She was worthy of being Xia Tian’s wife.
"By the way, Xia Tian, have you offended the Ji family?" Qiao Donghai suddenly remembered this matter, because after Xia Tian was taken to the police station today, it was actually the Ji family who cared about the case, and it seemed that Ji Nan was paying attention to it personally. Logically speaking, there was no hatred between the Ji family and the Qiao family, and the Ji family should not have interfered in this matter.
