Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

"Row."

Aren't you going to ask me why?

"As I just said, we're all in this together, we share the same fate, there's nothing to ask."

"Then please."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei had a new perspective on Lü Liang.

This guy has a clear mind and a strong sense of purpose. Considering his actions against Hou Liangping in his previous life, it can be concluded that he is a ruthless person.

Fortunately, the two are currently teammates.

Half an hour later, Lü Liang called back.

"We've investigated. Li Dakang and Lihua Hotel have nothing to do with each other, but his wife, Ouyang Jing, is one of Lihua's shareholders, and her shareholding is not small, accounting for 20%!"

"so much?"

“Yes.” After a pause, Lü Liang added, “Not only that, Ouyang Jing and your anti-drug squad leader, Wang Dejun, were lovers before.”

"……Forehead."

Qi Tongwei's face darkened.

They even give us gossip while investigating a case, which is really refreshing, but we can't ask about the details.

Asking too many questions is not good.

Just then, Wang Hua patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the fifth floor of the Lihua Hotel, and asked in confusion, "Captain Qi, is that woman not wearing any clothes?"

"where?"

Qi Tongwei shoved Wang Hua's head aside and looked up...

I was shocked when I saw it.

A woman, barely clothed, was seen lying on the edge of a bed on the fifth floor of the Lihua Hotel, crying and looking down, seemingly contemplating suicide.

"Stop looking, let's go upstairs and save them!"

Qi Tongwei opened the car door, glanced at the woman's location, and strode towards the lobby of the Lihua Hotel.

Wang Hua quickly followed.

What are you doing?

The two were stopped by the receptionist as soon as they arrived at the hotel.

She was described as a young lady, but she was only in her early twenties. She wore heavy smoky makeup, and her eyes clearly showed disdain when she looked at Qi Tongwei and Wang Hua.

The receptionists at big hotels are no ordinary people; at the very least, they have good eyesight.

Wang Hua looked shabby. Qi Tongwei had thick eyebrows and big eyes; although he was incredibly handsome, he didn't look like a rich man at all.

It's normal that the two weren't well received by the receptionist.

"Police are investigating. Someone on the fifth floor is threatening to jump. Take them over quickly!" Wang Hua pulled out his identification.

However, his identification still identifies him as a narcotics officer.

The receptionist's attitude improved slightly after she glanced at it, but only a little.

"Officer, the fifth floor of our hotel is reserved for VIP rooms. We cannot allow you to go up there without the boss's orders."

"Are you ignorant of the law?" Wang Hua said impatiently. "I told you, I'm a police officer, and I need to go to your fifth floor. Lead the way."

"So what if you're a police officer?" The receptionist reverted to her previous snobbish attitude. "Let me tell you, our boss specifically instructed that this hotel does not accommodate police officers. Besides... no one in our hotel is involved in drugs, so why would we need your narcotics officers to overstep our bounds?"

The little girl was quick-witted and sharp-tongued, which infuriated Wang Hua.

Just as he was about to force his way into the hotel, a very familiar voice rang out from behind him.

It's Wang Dejun.

He stood with his hands in his pockets, his expression somewhat sinister. "Qi Tongwei, Wang Hua, didn't I suspend you both and ask you to reflect on your actions? What are you doing here? Trying to conduct another raid on prostitution? Do you have any documents? Don't forget, you two are still suspended and have no law enforcement authority whatsoever!"

“Captain Wang, you don’t need to get so agitated. We were just passing by the Lihua Hotel when we saw someone jump off the building, so we came over to ask what happened.”

"Who jumped off the building?" Wang Dejun asked the receptionist. "Has anyone jumped off the building?"

"No."

"Did you hear that?" Wang Dejun looked at the two of them again. "No one jumped off the building. You two, don't cause me any trouble!"

No one jumped off the building.

However, someone shouted for help.

Just as Wang Dejun was reprimanding the two, a crowd had already gathered outside the hotel, all looking up at him.

The faint cries for help came intermittently.

Qi Tongwei didn't want to get entangled with Wang Dejun anymore, so he turned around and went outside the hotel.

Look up again.

The woman who had threatened to jump was now clinging to the windowsill, screaming for help, as if someone was dragging her from behind.

The next second, the woman was dragged into the room, and her cries for help turned into pleas for mercy.

About ten seconds later, the pleas for mercy stopped.

The windows were also closed.

Clearly, someone in the room was abusing the woman.

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and some even wanted to call the police, but just then, security guards from the Lihua Hotel arrived.

They call themselves security personnel, but they're really just a bunch of thugs and ex-convicts.

They carried batons and chased away anyone they saw.

"Get out! Who gave you permission to watch the show here!"

Do you know whose hotel this is?

"If you don't get out of here, I'll beat you to death. And don't blame me for not warning you, if anyone dares to call the police, their whole family will suffer."

"Leave far away!"

These security guards are ruthless. After warning those around them, they take action against anyone who hasn't left yet.

Immediately, the two onlookers were beaten black and blue.

"Why aren't you two leaving?"

The head security guard was a man with a scarred face. He walked up to Qi Tongwei and Wang Hua and was about to make a move.

Wang Hua was even faster, executing a backhand grappling move that locked his opponent in place.

When the leader was beaten, the other security guards couldn't sit still any longer. They immediately brandished their batons and rushed over.

Qi Tongwei stepped forward and stood in front of Wang Hua.

"Police! Everyone put down your weapons, or it will be considered assaulting a police officer!"

As he spoke, he took out his identification.

Like Wang Hua, his identification still identifies him as a narcotics officer, but he has the rank of deputy section chief.

"Oh, so you know you're a narcotics officer?"

Wang Dejun came out again, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the two men had changed from dislike to hatred.

"Team Leader Wang, a woman on the fifth floor has been attacked. I need to go up there to check if she is safe."

"On what grounds?" Wang Dejun sneered. "This is a large hotel. It needs to operate, survive, and pay taxes to the country. You think you can just go up there like that? Don't you have any common sense about the law?"

"What if I insist on going up?"

"no!"

With a wave of his hand, Wang Dejun summoned the hotel security guards again. With Wang Dejun backing them up, they became much bolder, and the menacing look in their eyes grew even stronger.

"Qi Tongwei, I've heard you're good at fighting, but can you take down everyone here?"

“Even if you can defeat everyone, you’ll still face legal trouble, and you’ll have to take off your police uniform.”

"Do we still want to go up?"

Wang Dejun no longer tries to hide it.

He wanted to tell Qi Tongwei that he was in charge of the Lihua Hotel, and that even if it was involved in organized crime, no one else had the right to interfere.

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath.

Now he is 100% certain that Wang Dejun is a thoroughly corrupt official.

Corruption is one thing, but to be so arrogant?

Do you really think you're easy to bully?

"Qi Tongwei, Wang Hua, this is my last warning to you. If you don't leave, I'll take off your police uniforms."
