Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

When Hou Liangping was taken to the hotel, it was already 10 p.m. The guy was penniless, and even the room fee was paid by Qi Tongwei.

The next day, the deposit was stolen.

Qi Tongwei didn't care about the small amount of money, but seeing Hou Liangping now, he felt uneasy.

How did this guy turn into a goofball?

Where did the once spirited Director Hou go?

Where did the anti-corruption bureau chief who used to go to meetings alone go?

After pocketing the deposit, Hou Liangping also took Qi Tongwei's cigarettes, claiming that smoking too much was bad for his health.

Qi Tongwei rolled his eyes at him.

"Monkey, try to quit smoking."

"Quit smoking?" Hou Liangping chuckled. "If someone could quit smoking, how tough would that be? I certainly couldn't do it! Besides, life is short, everyone has to have some hobbies."

Qi Tongwei nodded.

It seems that Hou Liangping has indeed changed in this life, and is a completely different person from the former Director Hou.

"Senior, I'll be heading back to Jingzhou soon. Take care!"

"Got it, let's go."

"Um... could you lend me some more money for the trip?"

"You don't have a single penny on you?"

"I originally had 50, but it was all gone after I gave out gifts yesterday." Hou Liangping pursed his lips. "Don't worry, senior, I'll be successful soon. I'll definitely pay you back the money I borrowed."

Qi Tongwei took out his wallet, pulled out two hundred yuan, and said, "Monkey, do a good job at the procuratorate. If you don't do a good job, no one will help you."

"Alright!" Hou Liangping beamed. "Senior, I will not let you down."

A taxi pulled up.

Hou Liangping got into the car, fastened his seatbelt, and began urging, "Driver, to the station, hurry up!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, what's the rush!" Clearly, the taxi driver was in a bad mood.

Hou Liangping was taken aback, then frowned, "Do you know who my brother is? County Magistrate! Qi Tongwei! Say another word, and I'll slap you!"

This is the asset he can best offer.

I must say, it's actually quite useful.

The driver dared not utter another word, floored the accelerator, and headed towards the station.

Watching him walk away, Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette, hailed a taxi, and went to his dormitory.

When I got to the dormitory, I took a shower, changed my clothes, and put on brand new leather shoes.

Then comb your hair meticulously.

Yesterday was an accident; I need to dress conservatively to meet my mother-in-law today.

After everything was settled, we hailed another taxi and headed towards Jingzhou.

Upon hearing that the destination was the provincial party committee's residential compound, the driver's breathing became rapid, and he didn't dare utter a single word for the entire two-hour journey.

When they were still 200 meters away from the solemn compound, the driver stopped and opened the car door for Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei glanced at the meter, took out 150 yuan, and placed it on the seat.

June.

The scorching sun made Qi Tongwei squint, and beads of sweat appeared on his nose as he looked towards the provincial party committee's residential compound.

He came here a long time ago.

However, at that time, he was with Gao Yuliang, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong Province.

Today, Gao Yuliang is still quietly farming in Lüzhou.

He was the first to arrive here.

Taking a deep breath, Qi Tongwei stamped his foot, tidied his makeup, and walked over as calmly as possible.

"Stop! Don't come any closer!"

Upon spotting Qi Tongwei, the two sentries extended their hands and simultaneously issued a warning.

"Hello, I am Qi Tongwei. I'm here to see Chief Zhong and Chief Prosecutor Gu."

"Hold on!"

One of the sentries remained in place, waiting for orders.

Another sentry entered the post.

A short while later, another soldier came out from the guard post.

The difference was that this soldier wasn't carrying a gun; the two bars and one star on his shoulder insignia symbolized his rank as a major.

Qi Tongwei spent a long time at the Ministry of Public Security.

In such a solemn place, upon seeing the major, it was only natural to give him a military salute.

The man returned the salute.

"Hello, I am Luo Feng."

"Hello, Battalion Commander Luo, this is Qi Tongwei."

After a brief self-introduction, Luo Feng led Qi Tongwei toward Building No. 1 in the courtyard.

Revisiting old places.

Qi Tongwei was quite emotional. If he had been able to stick to his original intentions and had not been blinded by power, would he have been qualified to live in this provincial party committee family compound?

Now God has given him another chance.

Can you handle it?

After walking for more than ten minutes, Luo Feng stopped in front of a secluded courtyard.

There were two guards in front of the courtyard.

One of them, whom Qi Tongwei had met yesterday, was none other than Old Master Zhong's personal bodyguard, a first-class bodyguard, Tang Changsheng.

A bodyguard of this rank is considered extremely powerful. Even Luo Feng, who is a major, would salute him with great respect.

"Comrade Qi, please wait a moment, I will go and inform the leader."

"it is good."

Qi Tongwei nodded slightly.

Three minutes later, Tang Changsheng returned from the courtyard, smiled slightly at Qi Tongwei, and said, "Comrade Qi, please come in!"

"Thank you!"

Qi Tongwei dared not underestimate Tang Changsheng.

After thanking him, he walked straight into the courtyard.

The courtyard is planted with many bamboos, all of which have been pruned. The bamboo roots are free of weeds, the bamboo stalks are straight, and the bamboo leaves are lush and green, creating a very picturesque scene.

There is also a pond in the center of the courtyard.

The pond wasn't very big, and a few koi carp appeared and disappeared from view.

At the end of the courtyard is a pavilion.

In the pavilion, Grandpa Zhong was playing chess with another man dressed in a Zhongshan suit.

Qi Tongwei also knew this man.

Lu Zhilian, Governor and Deputy Party Secretary of Handong Province!

At this moment, Lu Zhilian rested his chin on his hand, stared at the chessboard, and kept scratching his head.

Grandpa Zhong just stood there smiling.

"Xiao Lu, after all these years, your chess skills are still so bad, you haven't made any progress at all."

"Old leader, it's not that my chess is bad, it's that your chess is too good, especially this 'over-the-palace cannon' move, which is a stroke of genius and impossible to defend against."

"Haha, so you admit defeat?"

"I have no choice but to concede!" Lu Zhilian spread his hands. "Old leader, your playing style is becoming more and more stable and more and more lethal. I admire you!"

"hehe."

Zhong Chang'an smiled, turned to look at Qi Tongwei, and then stood up.

He stood up, and Lu Zhilian also stood up, his seemingly cloudy gray eyes darting back and forth over Qi Tongwei.

"Hello, Chief!"

"Governor Lu, greetings!"

Qi Tongwei remained very polite.

"Xiao Tongwei, I've already told you, just like Xiao Ai, you can call me Grandpa."
