Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

"Really?" Chen Hai smiled. "People have to grow up eventually, don't they?"

Qi Tongwei nodded, then looked at Hou Liangping, "In the future, spending more time with Chen Hai will be beneficial for you!"

"Oh." Hou Liangping muttered, looking around. "Senior, where's my sister-in-law? Where is she?"

Qi Tongwei ignored him and turned around to pour two glasses of water.

Hou Liangping took the water, persisting, "Senior, I don't want plain water, I want cola! And...where's my sister-in-law?"

"A leopard can't change its spots, and he still dares to covet your sister-in-law!"

Qi Tongwei narrowed his eyes, grabbed his neck, and then with a forceful pull, a pig-like scream rang out.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, senior, I was wrong, I'm suffocating, I'm going to...die..."

Hou Liangping is the type who remembers the good but not the bad.

Moreover, it has thick skin.

In his view, Liang Lu, like a small blade of grass, was gone, and she could only seek shade under Zhong Xiaoai, like a big tree.

Unfortunately, he wasn't destined for that.

As the leader of the ZY inspection team, Zhong Xiaoai has been busy lately, traveling to various departments to conduct both overt and covert investigations, and has gained a lot from the experience.

As she delved deeper, she discovered that Handong was even more insane than she had imagined.

The political situation is also interconnected.

For this reason, the ZY inspection team could not act rashly. She had to report the results of the inspection and the evidence she had collected to ZY first, and then ZY would make the decision.

I've been too busy with work to come to the hospital more than a few times.

……

After being beaten, Hou Liangping cowered in the corner, temporarily behaving himself.

"Squeak..."

After a long, thin sound of the door opening, the ward door was opened again.

A faint perfume scent wafts towards you.

It's Pei Jing.

Today, Pei Jing, dressed in a beige trench coat and high heels, held a bouquet of carnations, exuding a stunning aura.

"County Chief Qi, I know you were hospitalized. How are you? Are you alright?"

Pei Jing didn't stand on ceremony; after looking around, she placed the flowers on the bedside table.

Then, with a half-smile, he stared at Qi Tongwei and said, "You look good. It seems there's nothing seriously wrong."

"Thanks to Miss Pei, I didn't die."

"County Chief Qi, there's a hidden meaning in your words!"

"You and I both know it."

"Really?" Pei Jing smiled again, then looked at Chen Hai, "Isn't this Director Chen's son?"

Chen Hai swallowed hard, his eyes widening.

Back in college, Pei Jing was his goddess. After class, he would intentionally or unintentionally walk past this senior.

Even now, when we meet again, the feeling of excitement is still there.

"Yes, Senior Pei, I am Chen Hai."

"Not bad, you've grown more sunny and handsome." Pei Jing winked deliberately.

Chen Hai was having some difficulty breathing.

"Senior Pei, do you remember me? I'm Hou Liangping!"

"Hou Liangping?" Pei Jing shook her head. "I don't remember."

"Oh."

Hou Liangping felt a little disappointed.

After exchanging pleasantries with the alumni, Pei Jing crossed her arms and looked at Qi Tongwei again.

"County Chief Qi, I'm much relieved to see you're in good health! Oh, I forgot to tell you, Zhao Ruihu and the snakehead are both dead. Do you have any leads on that?"

"What clues do you want to know?" Qi Tongwei asked in return.

"Of course, who killed them?"

"You shouldn't ask me this question; you should ask Zhao Ruilong!"

"County Chief Qi, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all." Pei Jing looked confused.

"don't know?"

Qi Tongwei sneered, then told Chen Hai and Hou Liang to leave first, as he had something to say to Pei Jing alone.

After the two left the ward, Qi Tongwei took out the note.

“Miss Pei, I’m very curious. If Zhao Ruilong wanted to kill me, then why did you send a note to Wang Hua, asking him to come and save me? Whose side are you on? Whom do you work for?”

A strange look flashed across Pei Jing's face, but she quickly recovered. "County Chief Qi, when you were injured, did you hit your head? It was Zhao Ruihu who wanted to kill you, not Mr. Zhao Ruilong! As for this note, I understand even less what it means!"

Qi Tongwei stared intently into Pei Jing's eyes. "Before Zhao Ruihu attacked me, few people knew his plan. Zhao Ruilong was one, and you were another! After thinking it over, I realized Zhao Ruilong had no reason to save me! Therefore, that note must have been left by you for Wang Hua!"

Pei Jing paused for two seconds, then burst out laughing, "County Chief Qi, I never expected you to be such a master storyteller! But after all that you've said, I don't understand a word you say."

"If you don't want to take responsibility, then forget it. Just remember to tell Zhao Ruilong when you get back that this isn't over."

Pei Jing hesitated, then ultimately chose to remain silent.

Originally, she thought Qi Tongwei was just difficult to deal with, but when that note appeared, she knew that this man was even more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

The more you talk, the more flaws you reveal.

Silence is indeed the best option.

Just as Pei Jing was about to leave, Qi Tongwei spoke again, "Miss Pei, one last question? Who exactly are you working for?"

Pei Jing turned around, pondered for a moment, and said, "County Chief Qi, I know you are very smart, but sometimes, being smart can backfire!"

(Good night!)

Chapter 88 Handong University and Children's Hospital

When Pei Jing came out of the ward, Chen Hai was pushed up by Hou Liangping.

The two were facing each other, no more than half a meter apart.

Chen Hai blushed deeply.

Pei Jing simply smiled teasingly, "What is it, Young Master Chen? Is something the matter?"

Chen Hai was too nervous to speak.

Seeing his expression, Hou Liangping became anxious. "Senior Pei, it's nothing else. My buddy here has admired you for a long time and wants to get your contact information so we can go to the movies together sometime."

Pei Jing narrowed her eyes into crescent shapes. "Young Master Chen, is what he said true?"

Chen Hai nodded, but remained silent.

"coward."

Pei Jing opened her handbag, took out a pen, then took Chen Hai's hand and wrote a series of numbers on his palm.

"Coward, your sister will be waiting for your call!"

Pei Jing put the pen back in her bag, made a phone call gesture, winked at Chen Hai, and left with a grin.

Chen Hai looked at the number in his palm and smiled as if he were experiencing the first stirrings of love...

……

The days spent in the hospital were agonizing and long.

Another ten days passed.

Tearing open the calendar, there's only one week left until the New Year.

This was also Zhong Xiaoai's last day in Handong.

Early in the morning, Qi Tongwei changed out of his hospital gown, took a shower, shaved, said goodbye to the doctor, and set off for Jingzhou.

After spending nearly half a month in the hospital, Qi Tongwei's mind was filled with the smell of formaldehyde, and he was on the verge of a breakdown.

Fortunately, the doctor said he could be discharged before the end of the year.

However, Wang Hua was not so lucky; it will take him at least a month to recover.

That would be after the new year.

The February sun is colder and more glaring, and if there's wind, it can make your bones ache.

This is also a characteristic of winter in the South.

It's damp and cold.
