Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

Qi Tongwei calmed himself down and pressed the call button.

Zhong Xiaoai's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Tongwei, where are you?"

"Jingzhou".

"So you know about Secretary Liang's matter?"

"I understand. That's why I rushed from Luzhou to Jingzhou. To be honest, it was quite unexpected."

You seem a little sad.

"why would you say so?"

"For no particular reason, I can sense that you're feeling down when you talk."

"There is a little bit," Qi Tongwei admitted frankly. "How should I put it? I did have a grudge against Secretary Liang, but that's all in the past. He came to me later, apologized, and hoped that I could forgive him, but I refused! Now that I think about it, I seem to have been a bit narrow-minded."

“Tongwei, that’s not your fault. If it were me, I would have done the same. After all, the injuries you suffered were real. Besides, you’re not a saint; the word ‘forgiveness’ isn’t so easy for you to say.”

"Hmm." Qi Tongwei nodded. "But then again, Secretary Liang was really brave this time."

“I agree. It’s truly remarkable that a man nearing sixty had the courage to go into the water and pull three children out.” Zhong Xiaoai paused for a moment, then continued, “By the way, my father will be going to Handong in the next couple of days.”

"Director Zhong?"

"Yes, Father went to Handong this time to pay his respects to Secretary Liang on behalf of the Political Department. After all, he sacrificed himself while saving people."

"I understand." Qi Tongwei thought for a moment, then asked softly, "Xiao Ai, can you come along?"

"what happened?"

"miss you."

Zhong Xiaoai was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "When did you become so glib?"

"Have it?"

"Have."

Qi Tongwei paused for two seconds, then continued, "Secretary Liang's experience tells us that life is short, and no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first."

"so what?"

"Love needs to be spoken." Qi Tongwei leaned against the corner of the wall to avoid the oncoming wind and rain. "Xiao Ai, I miss you so much."

Qi Tongwei is not good at expressing his love.

From the moment he met Gao Xiaoqin, whether it was guilt or something else, Zhong Xiaoai's image filled his mind.

Love rises with the wind.

It's getting stronger.

“Okay, I’ll see if I have time in the next couple of days. If so, I’ll go to Handong with my father.”

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei faced the wind and rain outside the eaves, unconsciously tightening his clothes, feeling a bit cold.

Just then, Qi Tongwei saw a familiar figure.

Zhao Lichun.

He stood under an umbrella held by his secretary, having just emerged from the funeral home, his face expressionless.

Upon spotting Qi Tongwei, they stopped in their tracks.

The two looked at each other.

No one spoke.

In Zhao Lichun's eyes, Qi Tongwei sensed a fierce glint, like the final look of a trapped beast.

After a few seconds of standoff, Zhao Lichun strode away.

They were moving so fast that the secretary holding the umbrella behind them almost couldn't keep up.

For some reason, Qi Tongwei became nervous.

The battle of wits with Zhao Lichun is nearing its end, and victory seems to be just around the corner.

But it is precisely at times like these that we must not be careless.

He is the reborn.

I've seen a lot of ups and downs.

I also understand a principle,

A wild beast is most threatening when it is near death.

At this moment, Zhao Lichun had become that wild beast.

They will definitely fight back before they die.

……

The next day.

The heavy rain did not stop.

The rain wasn't just falling in Jingzhou, it was falling in Luzhou as well, and the rain there was even heavier.

Early in the morning, Qi Tongwei received a call from Lu Yike.

"Director Qi, I have good news."

"Have you found Yang Ge's body?"

"Well, to be specific, we found a rotting corpse locked in an iron cage. The identity cannot be confirmed yet, but it is most likely Yang Ge."

"Will it be salvaged?"

"Not yet. The rain is too heavy, and the body is still trapped in the iron cage, making the retrieval difficult."

"I know. Keep an eye on that reservoir for now, but don't alert them. I'll handle the rest."

"Okay, received."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei took a deep breath.

Yang Ge's body has been found.

Once the body is recovered and identified by a forensic doctor, coupled with the scarred man's testimony while drinking, the evidence will be irrefutable.

The era when the Zhao family father and son held absolute power in Lüzhou is coming to an end.

To prevent any accidents, Qi Tongwei explained the situation to Gu Jinhua and gave Xiao Hongyun some more instructions.

After everything was settled, he called Chen Hai and set off for Lüzhou again.

"Boom! Boom!"

Thunderclaps broke out continuously along the way.

Chen Hai was driving, somewhat restless, glancing out the window every now and then and cursing.

She seems to be in a bad mood.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"A little." Facing his senior, Chen Hai didn't hide anything and said reluctantly, "I received a call from Senior Pei yesterday."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Good news?" Chen Hai gave a wry smile. "Senior Pei said that when she called, she was breaking up with me."

"why?"

"She said I'm not mature enough." Chen Hai lit a cigarette and turned to look at Qi Tongwei. "Senior, do you think I'm mature?"

"Driving while emotional is indeed immature."

"That's not what I meant."

"Which one are you referring to?"

"What I'm saying is..."

Before Chen Hai could finish speaking, there was a loud crash as the car wheel hit the curb.

The right front tire is unusable.

"Senior, I'm...I'm sorry."

Qi Tongwei looked at the silly and adorable Chen Hai, shook his head helplessly, what else could he say?

All I can say is that Pei Jing has good taste.

The two are too different in intelligence; they're definitely not a good match...

"Don't just stand there, get off the bus."

"what?"

"Change to the spare tire."
