Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

"The sooner the better."

"..."

In just a few words, Huang Tianfang's fate was sealed.

Yellow Hair, you have to mess with Miss Zhong of all people... Good luck to you!

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Xiaoai tugged at Qi Tongwei's sleeve again and shook it.

"Tongwei, I'm going back now. If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to call me."

"Ah."

"You can call me anytime, even if it's nothing."

"Ah."

"Hmm my foot! Are you a blockhead?!"

"Comrade Xiao Ai, if you don't get on the bus now, you'll have to catch the next one!"

"Qi Tongwei, you are mine!"

After uttering her last words, Zhong Xiaoai waved and followed the crowd into the station.

Qi Tongwei was left alone, bewildered in the wind...

Chapter Nineteen: An Old Acquaintance, Li Dakang!

After seeing Zhong Xiaoai off, Qi Tongwei rushed to the anti-drug squad.

It's still early.

Seeing that his other colleagues hadn't arrived yet, he leaned back on the sofa, intending to take a nap.

I dozed off and woke up at ten o'clock.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Rubbing his eyes, Qi Tongwei looked at Chen Hai, who was grinning foolishly.

"You were sleeping so soundly, I didn't dare to call out!" Chen Hai covered his mouth. "Captain Qi, to be honest, did you go thieving last night? Your eyes are all black."

"You're the one who'd become a thief! By the way, did you get any leads from yesterday's surveillance?"

“No, Wang Hua and I kept watch until 2 a.m. After Liu Hailong went into Honglangmang, he didn’t come out again, and we didn’t see any suspicious people along the way.”

"Keep an eye on it."

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

“No need to go now.” Qi Tongwei waved his hand. “The whole city is currently searching for Brother Hua. He definitely won’t dare to show his face during the day. Let’s go at night.”

"Yes."

Drug control work is never smooth sailing. Take surveillance as an example: you might be able to keep watch at a location for a month or even half a year without seeing the suspect.

This poses a significant challenge to the patience of those who are tailing the suspects.

Chen Hai is now in a state of complete disorientation.

He would catch up on sleep during the day, and after dark, he would drive his Santana to Honglanman to wait for her.

This vigil lasted for half a month.

In Chen Hai's own words, he's now a night owl; he's listless during the day but full of energy at night.

In the past two weeks, a major event has also occurred in Yantai City.

Huang Tianfang, the county party secretary, was taken away by the ZY task force for involvement in organized crime and embezzlement.

Moreover, he was taken away while attending a meeting in the city.

Upon hearing that the people who arrested him were from ZY, he was so terrified that he wet himself and could barely walk.

Everyone else at the meeting remained silent, trembling with fear.

They didn't dare utter a sound.

This incident became a topic of conversation within the anti-drug squad.

During dinner that evening, Li Qingshui specifically discussed this matter with Qi Tongwei.

"Isn't it strange? Jinshan County is far from the capital, so how could a county party secretary alarm ZY? And I also heard that this special task force bypassed the province and accurately located Huang Tianfang. Could this guy have broken some kind of law?"

"I don't know if he broke any heavenly rules, but it's true that Huang Tianfang has a good son."

"I know his son. He's a blond-haired kid who acts arrogantly all day long because his father is powerful. I said before that if the blond-haired kid doesn't restrain himself, his father will be finished sooner or later. This time Huang Tianfang was investigated, and it's probably inseparable from his son."

"It is the father's fault if the son is not taught properly; he deserves it."

"Huang Tianfang definitely deserves it. I'm just curious how ZY noticed him."

"I don't know." Qi Tongwei shook his head. He wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal Zhong Xiaoai's matter.

Even if I said it, no one might believe me.

"Tongwei, do you want to hear some inside information?" Suddenly, Li Qingshui became mysterious.

"What rumors?"

"I heard that Huang Tianfang's arrest this time is very likely related to a girl in Beijing. Apparently, the blond-haired guy harassed her, and then the girl went back to Beijing and took care of him!"

"Nonsense." Qi Tongwei chuckled. "Director Li, don't believe or spread rumors. Don't trust gossip!"

“Yes, yes, yes, rumors are all unofficial history and cannot be believed. But there is an official history. Do you want to hear it?” Li Qingshui became mysterious again.

"tell me the story."

"The county party secretary, Huang Tianfang, has just been arrested, and the province has already made an appointment. Our new secretary for Jinshan County will soon take office."

"Who?"

"Li Dakang!"

Qi Tongwei's head was buzzing at first, then he felt relieved.

Li Dakang! That hurdling prodigy!

This guy's ability to flatter and read between the lines is textbook-perfect.

Before Sha Ruijin came to Handong, he called Chen Yanshi "Old Chen". After he came, he immediately changed his address to "Old Chen".

His famous saying, "Holding a bone as a torch," became his guiding principle. Moreover, this guy also had extremely high political awareness.

Before Zhao Lichun fell from power, he visited him every year.

After Zhao Lichun's power was waning, he spent his days following Sha Ruijin around, reporting on his work.

He has thoroughly mastered the art of understanding human nature.

“Tongwei, this Li Dakang used to be Zhao Lichun’s secretary. With his arrival, Jinshan County is going to change dramatically.”

Qi Tongwei wholeheartedly agreed with this statement.

Although Li Dakang is a fence-sitter who loves to flatter, to be fair, he is quite capable and can get things done. Most importantly, he can communicate with Zhao Lichun.

At this time, Zhao Lichun served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Executive Vice Governor of Handong Province, a position similar to that of Liang Qunfeng.

However, Zhao Lichun has one advantage over Liang Qunfeng.

That's youth.

Liang Qunfeng won't last many more years, but Zhao Lichun is in his prime and full of ambition.

Li Dakang can get things done much more easily by contacting him, and even out of respect for Zhao Lichun, people of the same rank don't dare to make things difficult for him.

"I believe that under Li Dakang's leadership, Jinshan County will definitely get better." Li Qingshui expressed his positive attitude towards the arrival of the new secretary.

Just then, the phone rang.

"Chen Hai, what's wrong?"

"The target has appeared!"

"Who?" Qi Tongwei put down his chopsticks, his nerves tensing up.

"Brother Hua!" Chen Hai on the other end seemed very excited. "I just saw Brother Hua. He's at Hong Langman right now, talking to Liu Hailong... Oh no, he's leaving. Should I go with him?"

"No, please don't, stay calm, I'm coming right away."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei looked at Li Qingshui and said, "Brother Hua just showed up at Hong Langman. I'm going there now."

"Okay, you go first. I'll notify everyone in the anti-drug squad and tell them to be on high alert. Contact me by phone for everything!"

"it is good!"

Wearing a baseball cap and a mask, Qi Tongwei hurriedly arrived at Honglangman and then got into Chen Hai's Santana.

"how's it going?"

"Hua Ge is gone, but Liu Hailong is still at Hong Langman. I want to pursue him, but you won't allow it." Chen Hai seemed a little resentful.

Qi Tongwei slapped him on the head. "I told you not to chase after them, and you're still unhappy? You know, Brother Hua and Liu Hailong's counter-surveillance abilities are top-notch. If you go up there like an idiot, you'll just be sending yourself to your death!"

"Now what?"

"How long did Brother Hua and Liu Hailong talk?"
