Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

"That's a good thing, but there's nothing I can do to help! You'll have to work hard yourself!"

“I know,” Hou Liangping sighed. “Teacher Liang said that if you want to get married, you have to do two things.”

"What two points?"

"A marriage proposal on the playground of Handong University, and an arranged marriage into the Liang family!"

Familiar formula, familiar taste.

Liang Lu is still as perverted as ever.

“Monkey, there are gains and losses. How you weigh the pros and cons is up to you. But I have to remind you of one thing: the way you propose or marry into the family is just a means. It doesn’t determine what kind of person you want to become! Once you have power, don’t forget your original intentions, and don’t forget the oath you took under the Party flag.”

These words were not only spoken to Hou Liangping, but also to former Director Qi, and to himself at this moment.

Hou Liangping was about to say something when the phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, then put his hand to his mouth, making a shushing gesture to Qi Tongwei to be quiet.

Then I pressed the call button.

"Lulu, is your hair done?"

"I'm not doing it anymore! I'm so angry! The hairdresser here is terrible! Come back right now, I'm really annoyed and furious!"

"Okay, Lulu, I'll be right back. Please wait a moment, it will be ten minutes at most."

"Okay, when you come back, remember to bring a box of Liuwei Dihuang Pills and a box of Dabu Pills."

"Okay, I'll go buy it right away. Love you!"

After hanging up the phone, Hou Liangping's expression turned even uglier.

Taking a deep breath, he looked helplessly at Qi Tongwei, "Senior, I'm leaving now, let's talk next time!"

Qi Tongwei waved his hand without saying a word.

Hou Liangping in this life seems even more frustrated than Director Qi in the previous life.

At least, Director Qi has never taken Liuwei Dihuang Pills.

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.

Since dismantling Brother Hua's drug trafficking gang, the anti-drug squad has enjoyed a rare period of calm.

The newly appointed head of the anti-drug squad, Wang Dejun, is quite an oddball. He is almost never seen at work, and even work is arranged by phone.

In his own words, how could someone of his rank spend every day in the anti-drug squad?

He was arrogant, but Qi Tongwei dared not slack off.

Even on New Year's Eve, he dragged Wang Hua to work the shift, and they didn't even have lunch. Qi Tongwei had to go out and buy them boxed lunches.

"Captain Qi, what's wrong with Captain Wang? I hardly ever see him. I've only seen him a few times since he took office. What kind of leader is that?"

"Talking about your boss behind their back is a bad habit!"

"That's not how it works. Everyone has the right to supervise their superiors. If Captain Wang has an improper work style, does that mean we can't even speak out? I've heard that he was removed from his position as the head of the Ning'an District Public Security Bureau because of corruption. But our Narcotics Control Detachment isn't a dumping ground where just anyone can become a leader. I really don't know what the organization is thinking."

"Wang Hua, don't say anything that's detrimental to unity. Keep what you just said to yourself, understand?"

"Oh."

Although Wang Hua was unconvinced, he still nodded.

Qi Tongwei, however, remained tight-lipped about the matter.

The relationship between Wang Dejun and Jiang Hui, the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, must not be known to the other members of the Narcotics Control Detachment.

Otherwise, people will have even more objections.

Negative emotions will also increase.

It is detrimental to unity and also to the progress of anti-drug work...

The phone rang.

"Director Li, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Is your team leader Wang here? I can't get through to him on the phone!"

"It's New Year's Eve today, he's probably taking a break."

"Oh, I see. Then bring your men to the Municipal Bureau. We're short two people for this prostitution raid, so you can cover for us... Oh, by the way, you don't need to come to the Municipal Bureau. Just go to the Lihua Hotel. I'll be there in a bit."

"receive."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei put down his lunchbox and lit another cigarette.

"what happened?"

"Director Li called; they're short-staffed for the prostitution crackdown and need the two of us to go over!"

"What!" Wang Hua was unhappy. "Today is New Year's Eve, everyone else is on holiday, but I have to go raid prostitution. No way, no way!"

"We won't deduct your wages!"

"Never mind then, making money isn't easy, I'll go anyway. By the way... where should I raid prostitution?"

"Lihua Hotel".

"Lihua?" Wang Hua's mouth dropped open. "I heard that's Captain Wang's second home, and he even has a mistress there."

Chapter Twenty-Six: Nodding Yes, Shaking Head No

Wang Hua's words shattered Qi Tongwei's worldview.

"What did you say?"

“I heard it from other colleagues. Wang rarely stays in the dormitory arranged by the organization. His schedule is almost entirely at the Lihua Hotel.” Wang Hua looked around and then lowered his voice. “Of course, I don’t know if this news is accurate. Some people also say that the No. 8 technician there is Wang’s personal technician, and he might be the kind of person who is kept by a sugar daddy.”

The amount of information is a bit overwhelming.

Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and then felt something was wrong, as if he had been used as a tool.

At this moment, Wang Hua had already driven his car over.

Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth and got into the car. Sometimes, even if you know you're being used as a pawn, you have to bite the bullet and go for it.

This is the officialdom.

Being unable to control one's own destiny is the norm.

Upon arriving at the Lihua Hotel, Li Qingshui was already waiting. After seeing Qi Tongwei, he waved and then told Wang Hua to drive the car to a secluded spot.

An anti-prostitution operation was then deployed.

New Year's Eve.

Families were busy preparing their New Year's Eve dinner, and firecrackers were being set off one after another. The Lihua Hotel was also brightly lit.

This is one of the top three entertainment hotels in Iwata City.

The hotel offers a diverse range of services, including dining, accommodation, karaoke, and even bathing and massage services—everything you could need.

Some people even call this place Little Paradise.

Rumor has it that the technicians there are all incredibly beautiful, and the services they offer are incredibly diverse.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Li Qingshui glanced at his watch.

"It's ten o'clock, we can start now."

At a command, Qi Tongwei and Wang Hua, along with the city bureau personnel, stormed into the Lihua Hotel.

Li Qingshui first approached the receptionist, revealed his identity, and then had someone restrain him.

They then quickly went upstairs.

Clearly, Li Qingshui had familiarized himself with the layout of the Lihua Hotel beforehand. Instead of wandering around aimlessly, he led his men directly to the fifth floor.

The fifth floor of the Lihua Hotel is the most mysterious floor; guests usually have to make an appointment in advance to go up there.

Moreover, that floor only had ten rooms, all of which were couples' rooms, and the prices were shockingly high, even a level higher than a five-star hotel nowadays.

Upon reaching the fifth floor, Li Qingshui first sent people to guard the entrances and exits, and then knocked on each door one by one.

What happened next shocked Qi Tongwei.

Ten rooms were knocked on, and three familiar faces appeared: Li Dakang, the current secretary of the Jinshan County Party Committee; Wang Dejun, the current captain of the Municipal Narcotics Control Detachment; and Chen Qingquan, the current deputy chief prosecutor of the Jinshan County Procuratorate.

Of course, apart from Wang Dejun, the other two were old acquaintances from his previous life.

One is a division chief, and the other two are section chiefs.

This crackdown on prostitution... hehe, it must have been premeditated, or rather, intentional.

However, Qi Tongwei's current situation is quite awkward.

Not to mention that Wang Dejun was his direct superior, the other two were also not to be trifled with.

Especially Li Dakang.
