Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

Chapter Seventy-Seven: A cornered dog will jump over the wall

After finishing his phone call with Zhao Donglai, Qi Tongwei lit another cigarette, his expression ambiguous.

After Zhao Ruilong left, Yan confessed everything, including some explosive news, clearly intending to kill Zhao Ruihu.

This also shows that Zhao Ruilong and Yan Wang have a close relationship; at least... Yan Wang is more afraid of Zhao Ruilong than Zhao Ruihu.

After thinking it over, Qi Tongwei put on his clothes again, called Wang Hua, and planned to go to Ruentex Paper Mill again.

He wouldn't feel at ease until he saw Zhao Ruihu arrested with his own eyes.

……

the other side.

Zhao Ruihu also received a call from Pei Jing.

He was still unaware of the impending disaster, and spoke as if nothing was amiss.

"Pei Jing, didn't you leave? Why are you calling me again?"

"Mr. Zhao, don't misunderstand, this call was made to you by Secretary Zhao."

"My uncle." Zhao Ruihu sat up straight, adopting a proper attitude. "Is there something you need?"

"Secretary Zhao wants you to go abroad immediately!"

"What do you mean?" Zhao Ruihu became nervous, and his breathing became heavier.

"Yan has confessed."

"What did you confess?"

“You’ve confessed everything, including all the good deeds you did in Luzhou. The police have issued a warrant for your arrest. Hurry up and leave, don’t waste any more time.”

"Impossible, Yan Wang would never betray me, there must be a mistake."

"There's no mistake. Yan Wang was originally very stubborn, but after Qi Tongwei went there, I don't know what he said, but he confessed everything."

"It's Qi Tongwei again!" Zhao Ruihu slammed his fist on the table, his expression ferocious. "Looks like I should have killed him a long time ago!"

"Stop saying such useless things. Secretary Zhao has already taken care of everything. You should go to northern Myanmar to lay low for a while. Once things have calmed down, Secretary Zhao will find a way to get you back."

"No, I'm not going to northern Myanmar!" Zhao Ruihu roared. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying here. I'm going to kill Qi Tongwei."

"Mr. Zhao, as long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback. Don't be impulsive."

“I wasn’t acting impulsively. I know what I’m doing. I’m not going anywhere as long as Qi Tongwei lives.”

"I've said everything I needed to say. Think it through before you contact me!"

After hanging up the phone, Pei Jing turned to look at Zhao Ruilong.

Zhao Ruilong nodded. "Very good. You have a good grasp of my cousin's personality. He really is a good-for-nothing. Even at a time like this, he still wants to fight."

"Ruilong, I'm still a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"What if Zhao Ruihu fails? Will he sell us all out?"

"Impossible," Zhao Ruilong said confidently. "Even if he makes a mistake and gets caught by the police, it has nothing to do with us! Don't forget, we've already severed ties with him! Besides... I still have a backup plan!"

"What back-up plan?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, there's only one thing: either Zhao Ruihu or Qi Tongwei will die within this week, and we'll definitely be safe and sound."

Pei Jing remained silent.

She had been with Zhao Lichun for two years and had a certain understanding of the two Zhao brothers.

Zhao Ruihu is a stubborn and reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill all day long; he's practically brainless.

Zhao Ruilong is different.

Although he is stubborn, his thinking is still relatively normal, he listens to advice, and he acts with a sense of proportion.

Now, let's see who comes out on top.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Beijing.

At 10 p.m., Zhong Xiaoai was still in the Discipline Inspection Commission office, organizing the documents for the trip to Handong.

She didn't leave, and Director Qin didn't dare to leave either.

Until Zhong Zhengqian arrived.

"Secretary Zhong!" Director Qin called out.

Hearing the noise, Zhong Xiaoai looked up, stretched, and looked quite tired.

Zhong Zhengqian felt a pang of sympathy.

“Xiao Ai, I’ve already told you that things are complicated in Handong, and you still want to go there. You’re so busy. If your grandfather sees this, he’ll scold me again.”

"There's nothing we can do; Qi Tongwei is in Handong!"

Zhong Zhengqian shook his head, then looked at Director Qin, "It's getting late, let's go home quickly."

"Okay, Secretary Zhong."

Director Qin wasn't like Hou Liangping; he couldn't tell good from bad. When Zhong Zhengqian told him to leave, he ran faster than a rabbit.

Before leaving, he glanced outside the door and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was there.

Zhong Zhengqian also glanced outside.

After confirming that Director Qin had left, she spoke softly, "Xiao Ai, do you want to protect Qi Tongwei?"

"It's not about protecting him, I just don't want him to get involved in this mess. You said it yourself, the waters in Handong are too deep, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep his composure and will blindly take sides!"

"Hehe, your grandfather is right. It's not good for someone so young to have such a deep mind!"

“Uncle, I learned all this from you.” Zhong Xiaoai said slowly, “Liang Qunfeng knows that the YZ inspection team is going to Handong. He wrote the report at this time, so he probably has some leads. Maybe… he even has direct evidence.”

"Xiao Hongyun is no pushover either. ZY sent him to Handong in the hope that he could keep the Handong University gang in check, and it seems that he has indeed succeeded! As for Liang Qunfeng reporting him, it is very likely an act of revenge."

"I understand, that's why I didn't tell anyone about my meeting with Liang Qunfeng beforehand!"

"You didn't even tell Qi Tongwei?"

“No!” Zhong Xiaoai shook her head. “To be honest, I don’t want him to get involved in this. Neither the Han University gang nor Xiao Hongyun are good people. If he gets involved, I’m afraid he won’t even be able to protect himself.”

"Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao Ai, I really envy Qi Tongwei for having a girlfriend like you who is always thinking about him."

"Uncle, you're making fun of me again. If you keep doing this, I'm going to go back and tell Grandpa."

"No, no, no, Uncle was wrong, Uncle won't say it anymore."

……

Eleven o'clock at night.

After receiving a tip from Pei Jing, Zhao Ruihu did not flee to northern Myanmar. Instead, he took his money and gold bars and went into hiding.

Cunning Rabbit Three Caves.

Zhao Ruihu was not a cunning rabbit, but Pei Jing was very clever. When she first arrived in Jinshan County, she arranged several hiding places for Zhao Ruihu in case of emergency.

Some are in the city.

Some are in the suburbs.

Others are in remote, uninhabited mountain valleys.

Every place is very secluded.

Ultimately, Zhao Ruihu chose to stay in the remote mountain village and contacted a smuggler to make a big deal.

Hearing about the big deal, the smuggler was tempted and drove over.

"Mr. Zhao, I just passed by your paper mill and saw a lot of police officers. Are you alright?"

"Don't worry, it's just a temporary respite." Zhao Ruihu had full confidence in Zhao Lichun. "Snakehead, there's a million in this box. Help me take someone out."

"Who?"

"Qi Tongwei! I'll give you another million after this is done, but you have to do it perfectly and discreetly, okay?"

“Okay! Perfect!” The smuggler agreed without hesitation. “Leave this to me, and there won’t be a single problem.”

“Snakehead, we’ve been working together for so many years, I definitely trust you. But let me remind you, Qi Tongwei used to be a narcotics officer and also worked in criminal investigation. He’s extremely skilled.”

"He's in the open, I'm in the shadows. No matter how skilled he is, he has to die!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Ruihu took out two more gold bars. "Take these too. I'll pay you properly. Get things done quickly and let me know when you're done. I need to go out and lay low."

"Don't worry, Boss Zhao, I'll gather the men right now, and we'll definitely take him down within two days!!"

"Good! Good!"

Zhao Ruihu gave a fierce smile.

You little brat, you're still not dead...
