Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

"Don't think I'm joking."

Wang Dejun was definitely not joking.

His rank was indeed limited, but behind him was a powerful figure: Jiang Hui, the provincial public security bureau chief.

"Drip drip!!"

Just as tensions were about to escalate, two buses approached from a distance and stopped in front of the Lihua Hotel.

One of the vehicles came from the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

A vehicle from the Municipal Procuratorate.

Upon seeing the two cars, Wang Dejun's heart skipped a beat. He then narrowed his eyes and stared directly at Qi Tongwei.

"You little brat, you dare to call for help!"

"Have the guts!"

"However, the people you found aren't high enough. Remember this... everything that happens next is entirely your own doing."

"And you, Wang Hua!"

"You two will pay a heavy price for your recklessness today."

That's right, it was Qi Tongwei who called them.

When he first discovered the scantily clad woman on the fifth floor, he realized that what was about to happen might be serious, so he notified Li Qingshui and Ji Changming in advance.

Unexpectedly, when Wang Dejun saw the two men's bus, he was only shocked for a moment before returning to normal.

Li Qingshui and Ji Changming got off the bus one after the other.

Seeing two division-level cadres come to support him, Wang Hua breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his back.

However, Qi Tongwei did not feel relaxed.

He glanced at Wang Dejun, who remained completely calm, and then recalled Li Dakang sneaking into the hotel earlier... Perhaps there were even higher-ranking officials inside the Lihua Hotel.

"what happened?"

Li Qingshui clasped his hands behind his back, his calm face revealing no emotion whatsoever.

The same was true of Ji Changming, who was behind him.

“About an hour ago, Wang Hua and I were passing by the Lihua Hotel when we saw a woman on the fifth floor who was barely clothed and was about to jump. When we tried to go into the hotel to check, Captain Wang stopped us.”

"Later, the woman started screaming for help. After screaming for a while, she was dragged back to the room, and then we heard her begging for mercy. At this point, her fate was unknown."

Qi Tongwei dragged out the sound of the four words "life and death unknown".

They also wanted to escalate the situation.

After all, nobody really knows what's going on with that woman on the fifth floor.

They didn't even know if they were dead or alive.

If Wang Dejun continues to delay things, it won't do.

"Why don't you go upstairs and take a look?"

“We wanted to too, but Captain Wang wouldn’t allow it!” Wang Hua quickly replied, “Captain Wang said we are suspended narcotics officers and told us not to meddle, or he would strip us of our uniforms.”

"Really?" Li Qingshui turned to look at Wang Dejun. "Captain Wang, your bureaucratic style is unacceptable. Trying to strip people of their uniforms at the drop of a hat is not a good habit."

Wang Dejun didn't speak, but just looked at Wang Hua and gritted his teeth.

Wang Hua didn't tolerate him either, and pointed his nose at him.

"Ahem, let me say a few words." Ji Changming cleared his throat and walked up to Li Qingshui. "Let's not talk about bureaucratic style or who is right or wrong, but Comrade Qi Tongwei said that someone on the fifth floor is in danger, so let's go and see. It's a matter of life and death, so let's clear up the misunderstanding."

As he spoke, he was about to set off.

But the next second, Wang Dejun reached out and stopped him.

"Chief Prosecutor Ji, do you have any documents regarding the search of the Lihua Hotel?"

Ji Changming was taken aback.

Even the usually kind and gentle man showed a hint of emotion in his eyes.

A section chief blocking a division chief?

Go against Tiangang!

"Wang Dejun, I'm also curious. As the head of the anti-drug squad, why are you not at your post but instead at the Lihua Hotel, blocking me and Director Li? What are you trying to do?"

"Don't misunderstand, I'm just doing my official duties!"

"Nonsense!" Li Qingshui shouted sternly, "You are the head of the anti-drug squad, not the security captain of the Lihua Hotel. This is not your job. Get out of my way!"

Despite being reprimanded by two officials at the division level, Wang Dejun remained defiant.

"Director Li, Chief Prosecutor Ji, whether I'm working or not, you can ask Director Jiang Hui. He's in the Lihua Hotel. It was his idea for me to stop you two. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Upon hearing the name "Jiang Hui," both Li Qingshui and Ji Changming's faces twitched simultaneously.

A cadre at the level of a department director.

After a few breaths, the two looked at each other and both had the idea of ​​backing out.

No one would have guessed that there was such a large Buddha statue inside the Lihua Hotel!

Miscalculation.

Qi Tongwei silently looked up at the fifth floor.

In a couples' private room by the window on the fifth floor, a naked woman was curled up in the corner. Her left cheek was covered in bruises, her right eyeball was swollen like a bun, and blood was oozing from the corner of her mouth.

Opposite her stood a burly man, Wang Demin, the owner of the Lihua Hotel and Wang Dejun's brother.

This guy is a born freak.

He enjoys beating and abusing women, using violence to satisfy his twisted and depraved psychology.

"Stop hitting me, please stop hitting me! I'm still a student, I still have to go to school."

"If I break the silence, my classmates and teachers will ask me questions."

"Waaah, please, stop hitting me."

"..."

When Wang Demin pulled out his belt and let out a "heh heh" laugh, the woman trembled all over, her eyes filled with fear.

Just like she said, she was just a student.

Because of his youthful ignorance, he incurred high-interest loans and was threatened by Wang Demin, leading him to the Lihua Hotel.

What happened next was beyond her control.

"This is Yantai City. If you owe me money, you have to listen to me. Be good and don't make me angry."

"Boss Wang, I already paid back the eight hundred yuan I owed you. My family has already paid back two thousand yuan, including the principal and interest. I really have no money left."

"Heh, you brat, are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending? Our lending company operates on a 90% payout, 13% return basis, and interest is calculated weekly, understand? You borrowed 800, but three months have passed, and with compound interest, it's already 12,000!"

Upon hearing the number 12,000, the woman was filled with despair.

"Don't be afraid. As long as you behave yourself, you can pay back the money slowly... Hehehe."

Wang Demin brandished his belt and continued to approach, his fat head and big ears resembling a pig's head in a market.

It makes people do evil.

The woman, who had originally intended to beg for mercy, suddenly made up her mind, pushed Wang Demin aside, opened the window, and was about to jump out.

But Wang Demin grabbed her and hugged her tightly.

"You bitch, you won't listen to reason, so here you are, I'll beat you to death!"

And so, Wang Demin grabbed the woman's hair while waving his belt, his face contorted in pain.

The belt lashed her body, and the woman let out a pitiful scream.

"Help, help!"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone downstairs looked up.

At this moment, Wang Demin also realized something was wrong. He grabbed the woman and dragged her back into the room, closed the window, drew the curtains, and once again vented his lust.

However, everyone downstairs saw what just happened.

Committing a crime in broad daylight, Li Qingshui could no longer tolerate it. After exchanging a glance with Ji Changming, he said sternly:

"Qi Tongwei, Wang Hua, go upstairs and arrest him!"

"I've been waiting for your words!"

Qi Tongwei took the lead, bypassing Wang Dejun, and rushed straight into the hotel.

Wang Hua quickly followed.

But at that moment, a middle-aged man in a white shirt and gray jacket stood at the hotel entrance, blocking their way.

Wang Hua was impulsive and tried to push him away.

However, Qi Tongwei stopped him.
