Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

But things don't always go as planned; the phone rang again not long after the work had started.

It's Wang Hua.

"what happened again?"

"County Chief Qi, something terrible has happened! Hou Liangping has indeed been kidnapped."

"Be clear."

“I just spoke with Zhao Donglai. After investigation, it was found that last night, someone saw Hou Liangping being dragged into a van.”

Do you have the license plate information?

"No! It was too dark at the time, and the witnesses couldn't see very clearly! But judging from the size, the person who was kidnapped should be Hou Liangping."

Chapter 79 Don't be afraid, be brave

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei habitually lit a cigarette, his eyes filled with an unclear light.

Hou Liangping has been kidnapped.

If I'm not mistaken, the person who kidnapped him should be Zhao Ruihu. That guy is ruthless, and Monkey is definitely going to suffer a lot.

Thinking about it, I feel a little sorry for her.

Exhaling a smoke ring, Qi Tongwei stood up, went to the window, and stretched vigorously.

Having been given a second chance at life, his feelings for Hou Liangping are very complicated, and he even has inner conflicts.

Well, if Hou Liangping hadn't relentlessly pursued him in his previous life, Director Qi might not have ended up in such a desperate situation.

But then again, Hou Liangping wasn't wrong at the time.

It's just a different perspective.

In this life, because of Zhong Xiaoai, both Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping have undergone tremendous changes, and even their stances have been subtly altered.

Qi Tongwei had given up on the idea of ​​winning against fate.

Hou Liangping wasn't as arrogant anymore.

Everything changes as time goes by, but the only thing that remains unchanged is that they were both once the most prominent figures at Handong University.

Qi Tongwei, Hou Liangping, Chen Hai... the Three Heroes of Handong.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei shook his head, wanting to laugh.

Why?

Hou Liangping and Chen Hai are two idiots. How dare they be on par with me?

Chen Hai goes without saying; apart from being upright, he's practically useless. Well, no... he also has a good father.

As for Hou Liangping, Qi Tongwei didn't even bother to talk about him anymore.

Without Zhong Xiaoai, he wouldn't even be considered a piece of trash, and he wouldn't even have the means to win Liang Lu's favor.

And now, he's been kidnapped.

With a sigh, Qi Tongwei still made a phone call to Zhao Donglai, instructing him to ensure Hou Liangping's safety.

Zhao Donglai was in a dilemma.

“Brother Qi, Zhao Ruihu is at his wit’s end now. If he’s caught, he’ll be sentenced to death. It’s not surprising that he’ll do anything! You want me to guarantee Hou Liangping’s safety? I really can’t.”

"Then let's do our best!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Qi."

Zhao Donglai breathed a sigh of relief.

Having worked in criminal investigation for so many years, he knew how terrifying fugitives could be. Hou Liangping's life or death was in the hands of the fugitives, and no one could guarantee anything.

……

The hills and valleys in the suburbs.

A dilapidated thatched hut.

Zhao Ruihu glanced at Hou Liangping, who was tied up, and then at the snakehead, frowning in displeasure.

"Snakehead, I told you to kill Qi Tongwei, why did you bring over such a piece of trash? Are you kidding me?"

"Mr. Zhao, don't be angry. Take a closer look. Does this person look familiar?"

Zhao Ruihu looked Hou Liangping up and down carefully, then clicked his tongue. "To be honest, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before, but I can't quite place it right now."

"Just a heads up, when I found this kid, he had just come out of Qi Tongwei's dorm. The two have a close relationship."

"Oh... I remember now!" Zhao Ruihu slapped his forehead. "It was that junior staff member at the Quality Supervision Bureau who issued the quality inspection report, which led to the closure of my paper mill."

"That's right, it's him. This kid's name is Hou Liangping, Qi Tongwei's good buddy."

“No wonder. At the time, I was wondering which lowly clerk from the quality supervision bureau was so bold as to offend me. It turns out he was Qi Tongwei’s good friend. That makes sense.”

As he spoke, Zhao Ruihu picked up a beer bottle, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Hou Liangping was immediately terrified.

Warm liquid flowed down his crotch.

"Mr. Zhao, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. If you want to take revenge on Qi Tongwei, don't include me. I have absolutely nothing to do with him."

"Shh, don't be afraid, it won't hurt."

With a loud crash, the green bottle shattered above Hou Liangping's head, scattering shards of glass everywhere.

This blow nearly knocked Hou Liangping unconscious.

Thick blood spread from her hair to the corners of her eyes, eventually dripping onto the ground.

Zhao Ruihu showed no sign of giving up.

After throwing away the broken beer bottle, he pulled out an axe, his smile becoming even more sinister.

Hou Liangping panicked completely.

"Boss Zhao, don't do anything reckless. This is an axe; it can kill people."

"I know," Zhao Ruihu said lightly. "Don't be afraid, be brave. I'll take you down first, and Qi Tongwei will come to keep you company in a couple of days, okay?"

As he spoke, he raised the axe high.

Just as Hou Liangping's life hung by a thread, the smuggler reached out and stopped Zhao Ruihu.

"what?"

"Mr. Zhao, before we start, let's talk about the price."

"what price?"

"Of course, it's Hou Liangping's price!" The snakehead said with a forced smile, "Qi Tongwei is worth two million, and Hou Liangping is worth at least five hundred thousand. Give me the money, and this man is yours to deal with."

Zhao Ruihu put down the axe and smiled. "Five hundred thousand isn't much, just a month's allowance. How about this, deal with this guy first, and I'll give you another five hundred thousand in two days at the latest."

The smuggler shook his head. "Boss Zhao, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this isn't the proper way. How about this, I'll hand the person over to you once you've paid me, how about that?"

"Alright then." Zhao Ruihu glanced at Hou Liangping. "Let him live for two more days."

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Zhao."

"I understand you, and you have to understand me too." Zhao Ruihu changed the subject, "When will Qi Tongwei die?"

"Don't worry about that, it'll happen tonight!"

"tonight?"

"That's right, tonight." The snakehead said arrogantly, "I've already arranged the assassins. Tonight, Qi Tongwei won't be able to escape."

"Great, Qi Tongwei is dead, now I can go to northern Myanmar in peace."

Pei Jinggang called Zhao Ruihu and told him to hide first, and that she would prepare five million for him to run away when he wanted to leave.

Zhao Ruihu agreed.

He also stated that he would not stay in the country once Qi Tongwei died.

Hou Liangping heard the entire conversation between the smuggler and Zhao Ruihu, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

He already knew Zhao Ruihu was a madman.

I never expected it to be this crazy.

When he was wanted by the entire city, not only did he not flee, but he also dared to try to get rid of Qi Tongwei. Madman is not even a word to describe this kind of person.

Fear, terror, confusion, helplessness... a mix of emotions swirled in Hou Liangping's heart, soaking his pants once again.

A fishy, ​​foul odor permeated the entire thatched hut.

Zhao Ruihu pinched his nose and kicked him again, his face full of disgust!

Time passed by minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Qi Tongwei walked out of the county government gate, glanced at the setting sun, opened the car door, and headed towards the station.
