The reason why Shi Lei was able to get to where he was in this life was not only because he was a righteous person, but also because he was a person who was able to let go of everything. There were not many people who could retreat so quickly. When a person stood at the peak of his life, he would always hope that he could maintain it for a long time.
Therefore, the first reaction of most people when they heard about Shi Lei's decision was disbelief. How was that possible? If they were to put themselves in Shi Lei's shoes, no one with his current status would make such a decision to retire. It was not like he was old and could not walk anymore. What was the point of retiring?
Bi Renjun and Qi Xiao Bei were the two people who could not understand Shi Lei's behavior the most. In Bi Renjun's eyes, he guessed that Shi Lei might have gotten an incurable disease and no longer cared about the affairs of the underworld. In Qi Xiao Bei's eyes, he thought that something big must have happened to Shi Lei.
Qi Xiao Bei spent most of his time in the southern coastal area of Qingdao, while Bi Renjun spent most of his time in the northern inland area of Qingdao. Therefore, Qi Xiao Bei had the opportunity to get close to the water first. He had arranged for all the smart men to go and find out more about this matter.
The news that he brought back shocked Qi Xiao Bei even more. Shi Lei actually obediently handed over all his guns on the second day after the new Chief Chen issued the gun ban order. Under his leadership, some of the people who had guns also cooperated with him to complete the gun ban order.
This news would definitely cause a commotion in Qingdao. Many people did not believe it at all. They thought that even if everyone in Qingdao handed in all their kitchen knives as dangerous items, Shi Lei would not listen to the new Chief Chen's words. It was because he was Shi Lei, the big boss of Qingdao that no one dared to disrespect.
This incident also caused quite a bit of shock within the police station. Everyone knew what kind of rank Shi Lei held. Therefore, Bureau Chief Chen, a newly appointed official, was able to get Shi Lei to take the lead and cooperate with a single order. This made everyone speculate.
Many people said that Chen Wei and Shi Lei had met in private. Chen Wei received an invitation from Shi Lei when he took office. This was an open secret. No matter who the new Chief Chen was, Shi Lei would invite them.
At that time, everyone thought that Chen Wei did not go. In fact, Chen Wei did not give Shi Lei any face. However, most of them still thought that Chen Wei had met Shi Lei before. Shi Lei was definitely an iron fist. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Shi Lei to give him such face.
Qi Xiao Bei also began to think about this matter. He had tried to contact Chen Wei after he took office, but he was rejected time and time again. This made him very dissatisfied with the new director. However, he believed that this guy would definitely put on airs. Sooner or later, he would drag them down.
Qi Xiao Bei was smarter than the others. When he heard that the old director was leaving, he immediately ordered his men to restrain themselves. That was why Chen Wei did not pay attention to him after he took over. This time, Shi Lei was shot at at the entrance of the Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. All the attention was now on Shi Lei. This made Qi Xiao Bei very satisfied.
He decided to bide his time and see what kind of medicine Shi Lei had up his sleeve. If Shi Lei was really intimidated by the new Bureau Chief Chen's authority and gave up everything, then he would direct the spearhead of fire at Bi Renjun and reap the benefits without doing anything.
If the new Bureau Chief Chen was not that great, then he would unceremoniously take all the territories that Shi Lei handed over to him. He would not let Bi Renjun get a single cent! He did not believe that he, the dignified local of Qingdao, could not handle a foreign Manchurian Tiger.
Bi Renjun was also pondering over Shi Lei's question. The arrival of a new director had already made the current situation a little tense, and the gun ban made the atmosphere even more tense. Furthermore, after Shi Lei announced that he was going to retire on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the tense atmosphere made it hard for every brother in the underworld to breathe.
The Dongbei Gang had always been doing well in Qingdao. Most of the reason was that they were a transient population. They dared to do anything and were not afraid of making a big deal out of it. This was the reason why the Dongbei Gang could do so well in Qingdao.
They were not like the local people of Qingdao. Their roots were here. If something happened, they definitely could not run away. They could only take the blame or find someone to settle it. These two points were obviously not as simple and straightforward as running away. Moreover, it would waste more money and energy.
Therefore, the cost of doing things was different. This also caused the people of the Dongbei Gang to be more ruthless and heavy-handed. They could make their opponents more afraid. After a long time, the Dongbei Gang began to slowly gain a foothold and stabilize their foundation in Qingdao. It could be said that it was not easy to get.
In fact, when a ruthless person like Shi Lei appeared in Qingdao, many people predicted that he might lead the brothers in the local circle of Qingdao to completely wipe out the power of the Dongbei Gang in Qingdao. However, Shi Lei did not do so. It was not that he did not want to, but that he was smarter.
Although everyone acknowledged that Shi Lei was the boss of Guqin Island, he had never really unified all the forces. No matter if it was the local gangsters of Guqin Island or the outsiders, he hoped that there would always be a few forces that he could use to help him share the burden.
Sharing the burden of the police's attention.
This was not the old society of the past. Some people even dared to go against the People's Liberation Army. It was a new society now. It was a developed and developed society. No one would be so reckless. Once all the forces on the Guqin Island were under Shi Lei's control, he knew better than anyone else what he would face.
He would face all the police's targeting. At that time, he would definitely suffer more than he did now. Only when there were too many lice would the police be unable to focus on him. In this way, he could maintain his power for a long time. Shi Lei was smart. This intelligence was naturally understood by smart people.
In Shi Lei's words, this was a balance of relationships, just like between the police and the bandits. If one day there were really no bad people in the world, would the balance be lost? The answer was of course.
If you gathered the seven dragon balls and made a great wish that all the bad people in the world would disappear. Then, no matter what, at least 80% of the police in the world would come after you.
Without the bad people, wouldn't they be unemployed? Could it be that they could be called police if they carried out some work every day to find cats and dogs and send lost old people home? Then let the middle-aged and old people of the Sunset Red Club who had nothing to do do do these work. They didn't need to be paid and the state's financial expenses would be reduced.
Although at least half of the people in the Hua Xia Police Station were idlers, they still needed the bad people in the world. Once there were no bad people, they would have no excuse to say that they were too busy.
Bi Renjun was a smart person. He also carefully analyzed the reason why Shi Lei wanted to retire. Obviously, it had something to do with the new bureau chief. However, it was definitely not completely related. Shi Lei was not such a coward.
However, Bi Renjun felt that it was unrealistic for him to believe that Shi Lei really wanted to retire. Could it be that there was something going on? Bi Renjun thought a lot. He almost couldn't sleep at night. He was thinking about what was the main reason for Shi Lei to retire.
Of course, in the end, Bi Renjun's thoughts were the same as Qi Xiao Bei's. His mind was filled with Shi Lei's forces after he retired. It was like a piece of fatty braised pork ribs. Whoever said that they didn't want to eat it was definitely lying to themselves.
Even if Chen Wei covetously guarded this piece of braised pork that Shi Lei was about to hand over, Bi Renjun and Qi Xiao Bei would still prepare their chopsticks to snatch it. Snatch it! Even if they risked being slapped, they would still get this piece of meat into their bowls.
This was not a girl who would obediently come to your bowl if you shouted. Bi Renjun and Qi Xiao Bei had already thought about the price that they would have to pay.
