Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

After the meeting, he specifically sought out Liang Qunfeng to inquire about Zhong Xiaoai's background.

Liang Qunfeng simply told him with a cold expression that he should do his job as the head of the Public Security Bureau, and that if he made any more mistakes, no one could protect him.

Furthermore, he had to review the self-criticism report before submitting it to the ZY inspection team to avoid any mishaps.

At this point, Jiang Hui really panicked.

He panicked, but Zhong Xiaoai was not satisfied. She turned to Xiao Hongyun and said something else.

Xiao Hongyun nodded, which was taken as an agreement.

……

Knowing that Zhong Xiaoai was traveling back and forth between Jingzhou and Yantai City, Qi Tongwei felt very sorry for her.

“Xiao Ai, you’re here in Handong representing the ZY inspection team. I don’t want you to waste your time on the road for my sake. Besides, I’m not a child. I can take care of myself, so don’t worry about me.”

"How can I not worry?" Zhong Xiaoai raised her head, looking pitiful. "Tongwei, I was almost scared to death last night. What would I do if something happened to you?"

"sorry."

Aside from saying sorry, Qi Tongwei didn't know what to say.

Always getting hurt.

It always made Zhong Xiaoai worry.

But he had no choice.

After being reborn, it seems that this is the constitution I have, like a life of turmoil, and I only encounter very bad people.

If you want to change things and stay away from danger, the only option is to leave politics and return to the life of an ordinary person.

Of course, life isn't bad for ordinary people.

Since we've been given a second chance at life, we should at least do something meaningful for the people, right?

This is also his original intention.

Zhong Xiaoai understood him.

“Tongwei, don’t say sorry. I support whatever you want to do. However, I hope you can always remember that the people of Jinshan County need you, and I need you too.”

"So, please try not to put yourself in dangerous situations, okay?"

"I've got it." Qi Tongwei nodded gently, feeling a warm yet bittersweet feeling in his heart.

Just then, a snicker broke out.

Look back.

It was Hou Liangping.

"Senior, sister-in-law, you two are so loving. It makes my mouth water. I'm so envious."

"Really?" Zhong Xiaoai flexed her wrist and kicked out.

"Ouch, why did you kick me!" Hou Liangping jumped up. "I'm a patient too, I need care too."

"If you want care, go find your teacher Liang!"

"No, I don't want to."

No sooner had the two "don'ts" been said than Liang Lu appeared at the end of the hospital corridor.

All three of them were stunned.

Hou Liangping, in particular, trembled and hid behind Zhong Xiaoai, shrinking his head, seemingly very afraid.

Liang Lu was also taken aback when she saw Zhong Xiaoai.

Then, as if remembering something, she smiled slightly and walked towards Hou Liangping.

"Liangping, can I talk to you?" Liang Lu asked gently, her eyes carrying a hint of reproach.

"No, Teacher Liang, I don't want to talk to you." Hou Liangping continued to hide behind Zhong Xiaoai.

But the next second, Qi Tongwei pulled him away.

"If Teacher Liang is looking for you, go ahead. What are you doing hiding behind my girlfriend? Besides, is Teacher Liang going to eat you up?"

"Tongwei is right, Xiaotou Nan. If you have any misunderstanding with Teacher Liang, just talk it out. Hiding isn't the solution."

"Liangping, I was really sad to hear you were injured. It was all my fault before, and I apologize to you." Liang Lu said sincerely.

“Hey, Ms. Liang has already apologized, so please forgive her this once. Let’s find a place and talk things over.”

Zhong Xiaoai and Qi Tongwei exchanged a glance.

The two, in perfect sync, left hand in hand, leaving Hou Liangping and Liang Lu in their little corner of the corridor.

After the two left, Hou Liangping almost cried again.

Having been with Liang Lu for over a year, he knew how twisted she was; apologies and changes were out of the question.

Sure enough, once everyone else was gone, Liang Lu's expression suddenly changed.

"Hou Liangping, you've really grown bold, daring to avoid me now? What? Don't you want your career anymore?"

“Teacher Liang, please don’t force me. If you keep pushing me, I’ll jump off the hospital building.”

"Threatening me?" Liang Lu laughed. "What kind of person are you? Do you think I don't know? If you really had the guts to jump off a building, I'd truly admire you as a man! But do you even have the guts?"

In terms of human nature, Liang Lu has a firm grasp on it.

She knew Hou Liangping was cowardly.

I also know he wouldn't dare to harm himself.

Therefore, she dared to press on relentlessly.

Hou Liangping's face turned deathly pale. "Teacher Liang, what do you want from me? Will you let me go?"

"It's not that exaggerated. I've just been a bit irritable lately. I've already prepared some tonics for you. Let's find a place to talk it out calmly. Once we've cleared things up, this matter will be over. From now on, if you behave well, I'll still love you!"

"I can't bear your love." Hou Liangping's eyes reddened, and he knelt down with a thud. "Teacher Liang, please stop torturing me, I beg you!"

"You'd rather kneel down than come with me?"

"That's right!" Hou Liangping retorted. "You make me eat kidneys and take tonics every day. I've had enough. I'm not an animal. I don't want to live like that anymore! Teacher Liang, even if I have to give up my career, I won't follow you anymore!"

"You've got guts!" Liang Lu's hair stood on end. "Fine, Hou Liangping, don't regret it. If you leave me, you'll be a lowly clerk in the Quality Supervision Bureau for the rest of your life!"

Hou Liangping knelt on the ground, no longer speaking, large tears of regret falling down his face.

It's all because I was blinded by greed and got on that pirate ship.

If he had another chance, he would never have offered to help Liang Lu when she fell into the water while boating.

But there are no "what ifs" in life...

Chapter 84 The Undercurrents of Handong

After Liang Lu left, Hou Liangping stood up, went out onto the balcony, and lit a cigarette.

It's a bit windy.

Blowing away his greasy hair.

"Monkey, you're not thinking of jumping off a building, are you?"

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Qi Tongwei and Zhong Xiaoai were worried and followed him to the rooftop.

Hou Liangping turned around and gave a bleak smile.

"To be honest, I thought about it before I came up, but when I looked down, it was too scary, and I didn't have the guts."

"If you don't have the guts, then hurry back." Zhong Xiaoai frowned. "Hey, stop being so coy. I'll call Liang Qunfeng in a bit and tell him not to make things difficult for you!"

"Really?"

Hou Liangping froze, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, and tears of emotion welled up in his eyes.

"Aunt Zhong! You're my real mom!"

"As long as Secretary Liang stops making things difficult for me, I will visit you every year during holidays to wish you a Happy New Year, Mom!"

"Get out! I don't have a fat, big-eared, stupid son like you!"

Turning around, Zhong Xiaoai dialed Liang Qunfeng's number directly.

The conversation between the two was very short, lasting only one minute.

In that minute, Zhong Xiaoai only said two things.

First, we must tell Liang Qunfeng not to interfere with the judicial fairness in Handong or obstruct other people's careers for the sake of his daughter.

Secondly, let him discipline Liang Lu. No matter how bad Hou Liangping is, he is still a human being. He even saved Liang Lu and has never done anything immoral. Don't be so aggressive.

Liang Qunfeng on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before replying with a single word: "Okay!"

This phone call was also at Qi Tongwei's behest.
