Shengwei Cosmetics Factory.
A black luxury car drove in from the end of the road.
The car windows were covered with thick sun film, making it impossible to see the person in the back seat.
Inside the car, Feng Kunlin held his phone and said respectfully with a smile, "Don't worry, boss. All the raw materials have been put into storage. As soon as I get back to the factory, I'll have the R&D team and the workshop staff start producing a batch of new products."
"Good. As long as the initial market opens up, I'll increase your investment later!"
"Thank you, boss!"
Hanging up the phone, Feng Kunlin let out a sigh of relief.
Once the new products open up the market, Kong Liwei will immediately increase his investment.
At that time, all his previous losses can be made up.
As for how to get back a portion of his losses from the investment funds.
Director Feng had plenty of experience and countless methods.
As the car gradually approached the factory gate, the driver suddenly reminded him, "Uncle Feng, Gao Fei is outside our factory!"
Feng Kunlin looked up and saw Gao Fei standing outside the factory gate with a sullen face, staring fiercely at the gate.
Beside him were Gao Qilan and Ding Yao.
The two women also had unpleasant expressions, and their gazes towards Shengwei Cosmetics Factory were filled with a hint of anger.
Feng Kunlin raised his eyebrows and sneered. Although there was resentment on his face, seeing the anger and unwillingness in their eyes made him feel incredibly happy and comfortable.
As the car drove past Gao Fei, he immediately told the driver to stop.
The car window rolled down, and Feng Kunlin showed a mocking smile. "Boss Gao, you're truly ruthless. You almost got me sent to prison with fake R&D data.
But you never expected that I would come out safe and sound, and even have a factory with a bad reputation renamed and continue to operate normally."
Seeing Feng's incredibly smug look, Gao Fei frowned slightly, the anger in his eyes becoming hard to suppress.
He put on a stern face, nodded, and said with a cold laugh, "I really didn't expect you to clear your name and return in just one day.
I assume Boss Kong must have pulled a lot of strings for you!"
"Whether Mr. Kong pulled strings for me is none of your business, Boss Gao. You should focus on how to develop your own factory in the future!"
Feng Kunlin couldn't hide his inner joy and continued to laugh heartily, "I'll also reveal something to you, Boss Gao. I have an R&D team invited from abroad.
Once our experimental products are successfully developed, the pinnacle of the Chinese cosmetics market will surely have a place for Feng Kunlin."
Suddenly, his tone turned fierce. "I will never forget Boss Gao's 'generous help' with fake data.
As long as Feng Kunlin is in the cosmetics market, you, Gao Fei, will never get a single share.
Remember, Gao, what goes around comes around!"
Every time he thought about the tens of millions of funds Gao Fei had swindled him out of.
Feng Kunlin's teeth clenched, and his heart was filled with anger.
Therefore, besides mocking, he also made threats.
However, after he finished speaking, Gao Fei's reaction was not what he had expected.
Gao Fei's gloomy and angry expression disappeared, and he calmly said, "Director Feng, you really want to see me become furious after your mockery, right? And then, in a fit of rage, vow to fight you to the death?"
Feng Kunlin was stunned, his inner thoughts completely exposed.
Seeing his momentary daze, Gao Fei sneered disdainfully, not retaliating with harsh words.
Because, in his eyes, Feng was already a dead man!
"Gao Fei, don't pretend to be mysterious or act tough. Sooner or later, you'll come begging me. Remember that!
Xiao Li, drive!"
Feng Kunlin snorted coldly and then rolled up the car window.
Looking at Gao Fei, who was smirking in the rearview mirror, Feng Kunlin suddenly had a bad feeling.
He couldn't quite figure out what was wrong.
Outside the factory gate.
Ding Yao glanced at Gao Fei's retreating back and asked doubtfully, "Boss, have you already figured out a way to deal with Feng Kunlin?"
As she spoke, Gao Qilan also looked over curiously.
"This is a chess game between me and that Kong guy. It's a struggle.
Feng Kunlin is just a pawn on the board. Even if he's released, he won't cause any waves."
Hearing Gao Fei's confident reply and his disdain for Feng Kunlin, the two women behind him raised their eyebrows in confusion.
"Boss, then why are we here today? We're not here to listen to Feng get lectured and threatened, are we?"
"To watch a show!"
Ding Yao and Gao Qilan were stunned. Before they could speak, Gao Fei raised his hand and pointed to the intersection ahead. "The show is about to start!"
The two of them looked and saw flashing police lights on the road ahead, speeding towards Shengwei Cosmetics Factory.
The next second, five vehicles with the word 'Customs' on them drove into the cosmetics factory, followed by four more vehicles, each with the word 'Quality Supervision' printed on its side.
Nine official vehicles entered the cosmetics factory one after another, blocking Feng Kunlin, who had just alighted from the car.
Two customs officers in uniform stepped out of one of the vehicles.
The two glanced at the photos in their hands, confirmed that the person in front of them was Feng Kunlin, and immediately surrounded him.
One of them produced his identification and documents and said, "Mr. Feng, I am Wu Xin from the Customs Anti-Smuggling Department, and this is Li Dong from the Inspection Department!
We received a report that you have purchased a batch of smuggled cosmetic raw materials. Please cooperate with our investigation."
Looking at the search warrant and other relevant documents handed over, Feng Kunlin's spine chilled, and a wave of coldness spread throughout his body.
It was only then that he realized why Gao Fei had suddenly appeared and why he had been so dismissive and contemptuous of his sarcasm and threats.
So, that batch of black market goods in the warehouse was a trap set by Gao Fei for him.
Completely understanding, Feng Kunlin's vision went dark, and a hot sensation filled his mouth as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing him faint, the customs staff immediately provided emergency first aid.
After Feng Kunlin fully regained consciousness, Wu Xin and Li Dong took him to the warehouse to inspect the cosmetic raw materials.
...
Outside the factory.
Ding Yao only then realized what had happened.
Thinking of the customs and quality supervision vehicles, she suddenly thought of someone.
Huo Dongcheng, the raw material supplier from Hong Kong.
Because Gao Fei had once mentioned that although Huo Dongcheng had a large quantity of raw materials, there were significant problems with them.
He hadn't specified what the problems were, but as the deputy factory director, Ding Yao had already vaguely guessed the issue.
Cosmetic raw materials with problems were either inferior goods or black market goods that had not passed customs...
To verify her guess, Ding Yao took a step forward and asked quietly, "Boss, did you and Huo Dongcheng set a trap for Feng Kunlin with the raw materials he purchased yesterday?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Huo Dongcheng and I have fallen out. How could we have set a trap together?
I just received some inside information, so I brought you all here to watch the show!"
Seeing Gao Fei adamantly denying it, Ding Yao couldn't help but roll her eyes.
But soon, she suddenly realized why the boss had parted ways with Huo Dongcheng and ended their cooperation.
It turned out that everything was a setup for today.
Now that Feng Kunlin was arrested for the second time, he must have been pushed to his limit. If he bit back at Gao Fei, he would definitely be taken in for questioning by the customs.
Moreover, Ding Yao had already learned that it was Gao Fei who had reported Feng Kunlin by name.
Since they were still rivals, Gao Fei would naturally be the first person investigated.
But as soon as the customs traced the source and discovered that Huo Dongcheng's company was selling black market goods.
Then, Gao Fei would be quickly cleared of suspicion.
Gao Fei and Huo Dongcheng deliberately staged a scene of a dramatic falling out in the past.
The purpose was to let everyone know that Gao Fei and Huo Dongcheng had a deep feud and would never cooperate.
In addition, Yu Min privately sent people to scare Huo Dongcheng, further intensifying and expanding the conflict, which directly became a great help for Gao Fei to escape suspicion.
And all of this was a trap set by Gao Fei in conjunction with Huo Dongcheng, using smuggled raw materials to frame Feng Kunlin in advance.
Thinking of this, Ding Yao finally woke up.
No wonder the boss adamantly denied setting the trap. With tons of black market goods involved, anyone who had the slightest connection would end up in jail.
As for whether it would affect Huo Dongcheng, that was no longer within Ding Yao's scope of consideration.
Just as she figured it out, Gao Fei suddenly raised his hand again and pointed to the intersection ahead.
Flashing police lights were seen ahead, and a line of police cars was speeding towards Shengwei Cosmetics Factory.
As the line of police cars entered the factory, the leading command vehicle stopped beside Gao Fei.
The car window rolled down, revealing a familiar face inside.
"Director Ge!"
"Hello there, Xiao Gao!"
Looking at Ge Qing sitting in the command car, Gao Fei's head spun.
The main culprits and accomplices in the arson case had been apprehended. The team leader who should have come to arrest Feng Kunlin should have been Captain Wang Desheng.
But what he didn't expect was that the leader was Director Ge.
Ge Qing was in charge of propaganda. Why was he suddenly commanding an arrest?
Gao Fei's head was full of question marks.
Seeing his curious look, Ge Qing did not hide anything: "Xiao Gao, I am now the team leader of the special task force for the 526 high-risk chemical case."
"528 chemical case!"
Gao Fei was startled. Just as he was about to offer congratulations, Ge Qing immediately interrupted, "Alright, we'll talk about it in private. The customs have already helped us catch Feng Kunlin. This time, we are conducting a joint investigation. As the informant, you also need to go to the special task force to cooperate with the questioning.
You wait here. When we withdraw, you'll ride back with me!"
"Understood!"
After giving instructions, the command car also drove into the factory.
Watching the taillights of the departing vehicle, Gao Fei asked Ding Yao and Gao Qilan to go back first, while he waited to cooperate with the questioning at the special task force.
After they left, he casually sat down on the curb and murmured, "I didn't expect my tip-off to get Ge Qing appointed as the leader of the special task force!
That's not right. He's currently the deputy director of the Propaganda Department at the General Administration. If he returns to the front lines, wouldn't that be a demotion?"
As Gao Fei was muttering to himself, a voice suddenly came from nearby.
"Xiao Gao, Director Ge is not demoted. Keeping him in the Propaganda Department of the General Administration is a true promotion in disguise!"
"Captain Wang!"
Wang Desheng appeared from somewhere and walked forward with a smile. "Because of your report, Director Ge was appointed by the higher-ups as the leader of the special task force. Within half a year, he will definitely be transferred from the Propaganda Department of the General Administration and return to the front lines.
To thank you for your impulsive report, which gave him the opportunity to return to the front lines, Director Ge also has a big gift for you."
"A big gift?"
"You'll know soon!"
Gao Fei looked confused.
Why were there so many gifts today?
First, it was Yu Min's big gift, and then Ge Qing's big gift.
He just didn't know what Ge Qing's big gift would be related to.
...
Peking University.
Five black cars from government agencies drove into the university.
Upon learning which unit had suddenly visited, it instantly alarmed all the school leaders except for the principal.
