I really don't want to be an official if I transmigrate into Qi Tongwei's life.

Chapter 431 The Dilemma of Loyalty and Righteousness for a Top Leader

There was nothing he could do; the young lady was difficult to deal with and had a sharp tongue. Chen Shunjun had no choice but to report the matter truthfully and continue the investigation. Since this was a matter concerning the leader's family, he had to be extremely vigilant.

Ye's mother was so angry that she fell ill. People, no matter how rich or powerful, can't always prevent getting sick.

Ye Xinghai, Ye's father, knew that Ye Xingguo was a man of principle, but for his son's sake, he still had to use his connections.

"Xingguo, you watched Alang grow up. That kid has always been a good student. He would never do such a thing. You must help your older brother, otherwise Alang's life will be ruined."

Ye Xingguo was extremely busy and waved for his secretary to leave. Ever since he brought Qi Tongwei to Guangdong and let him do whatever he wanted, he had damaged the interests of many people. His nephew Ye Lang was likely retaliating against him this time, but there was no turning back now, so how could he compromise?

"Brother, don't worry, I've already got the provincial department involved. If Alang didn't do it, the police will definitely give him justice."

Ye Xinghai is a businessman with excellent connections. Recently, Ye Xingguo and Chenjiazhai have been fighting so fiercely, both openly and secretly, that many people have asked him to persuade them to stay on the sidelines, since harmony brings wealth.

When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer as well. Now that his son has been caught in this unexpected disaster, he is truly regretting his actions.

"Xingguo, I've always supported what you're going to do. This time, for Alang's sake, I'm swallowing my pride and advising you not to push others so hard. It's always best to leave yourself some room to maneuver in everything you do."

Ye Xingguo rubbed his forehead. He understood his elder brother's unspoken meaning, but loyalty and righteousness were difficult to reconcile. His father had long established the rule that once one entered politics, matters of principle, even family members, must be treated equally and handled in an official manner.

“Brother, to tell you the truth, I am the Director of the Public Security Bureau. Fighting crime is my duty. Perhaps it has touched the interests of some people. If I give in, what will happen to the tens of millions of people in eastern Guangdong? How can I live up to Father’s dying wish?”

Ye Xinghai certainly remembered that his father, before his death, instructed his family to always be honest and upright and never do anything to betray the people, otherwise it would be a betrayal of the millions of revolutionary martyrs.

He dared not forget his father's instructions, but with the reform and opening up, he became richer and richer over the years, and Ye Xinghai had unknowingly become a businessman who focused on profit.

"Xingguo, I'm not asking you to go against your principles. It's obvious that Alang's matter was deliberately framed. You haven't come this far easily. As the saying goes, too much rigidity leads to breakage. You've driven others to a dead end, and you've also driven yourself to a dead end. This time it was Alang, but who will it be next time?"

Ye Xingguo is now fully committed to fighting crime, which is destined to be a tough battle. When he was a child, he often heard his father talk about the Battle of Shangganling. The enemy's planes and artillery bombarded indiscriminately, and the soldiers were able to persevere in the freezing cold of tens of degrees below zero. What is his little difficulty compared to that?

"Brother, I hope you understand that the police will definitely investigate Alang's matter thoroughly. At the same time, I also want to advise you not to rush into anything and make any deals with people in private."

Ye Xinghai realized that no matter what he said, Ye Xingguo was determined not to compromise, but how could he just watch his son go to jail?

"Xingguo, Alang is your nephew. You have concerns and want to avoid suspicion, but he's just an ordinary citizen. Can you really bear to watch a promising young man's future be ruined and him be talked about for the rest of his life?"

After his father passed away, as his official position rose higher and higher, Ye Xingguo clearly remembered that this was the first time his elder brother had ever argued with him.

A principle is a principle, and now that we've reached a critical moment, we absolutely cannot give up all our previous efforts. Ye Xingguo comforted himself, knowing that even if his father were alive, he would definitely support him.

"Brother, calm down. The police need time to investigate. I can't just release Ah Lang with a single sentence."

Ye Xinghai harbored resentment. If Ye Xingguo were willing to help, a single word from the Director of the Public Security Bureau could indeed restore his son's freedom immediately.

"Xingguo, Alang is Father's most beloved grandson. For Father's sake, can't you handle this more flexibly this once?"

"My father dedicated his life to the revolution. This is an insult to him," Ye Xingguo said, feeling very uncomfortable. His tone was somewhat angry.

"Brother, if Father knew what I did, he would be even more heartbroken."

"I'll say it again, the police will definitely investigate this thoroughly."

Ye Xinghai knew he had said the wrong thing in his haste, but as a father, he didn't think he was wrong.

"Xingguo, let me make this clear to you: Alang absolutely cannot go to jail."

In the end, the two brothers parted on bad terms, neither able to convince the other.

Ye Xingguo had a real headache. He took a big gulp of water and called Qi Tongwei.

"You need to keep a close eye on things over there. They're already targeting my family; it seems they can't wait to do it."

With the help of his luck, Qi Tongwei slept during the day and personally watched over Yunfeng Temple at night, feeding mosquitoes in the mountains. Damn it, the mosquitoes were huge and numerous, even more ferocious than vampires.

"Director Ye, I know you must be in a difficult position right now, but you can definitely do it by sacrificing your personal interests for the greater good."

This is utterly outrageous! Ye Xingguo gritted his teeth in anger, "Stop talking nonsense, brat. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible!"

"Director Ye, don't worry. When I get back, I can pry open the mouths of any woman, not just a nightclub hostess, but even a female spy from the Japanese army."

Ye Xingguo wanted to curse. This kid had absolutely no sense of propriety. "I'll wait and see."

Qi Tongwei wanted to chat with his boss a little longer and offer some comfort, but Ye Xingguo angrily slammed the phone down without giving him a chance.

"Sigh, such a high-ranking leader, yet he has absolutely no sense of humor and is so stingy."
