"Think it through, Lu Shaoyang!" Zhao Tianlong held Su Qing tightly in his hand, staring at Lu Shaoyang viciously, "If you don't give me an explanation today, I will make her live a life worse than death!"

Zhao Tianlong pulled Su Qing's hair roughly, and her scalp felt a tearing pain. She struggled in fear and cried, "Shaoyang, save me! Save me!"

Lu Shaoyang's face turned pale. He looked at the hysterical Zhao Tianlong and then at the calm Qi Tongwei. He was in a dilemma for a while. He knew Zhao Tianlong's ruthless methods very well. If he didn't compromise today, Su Qing might really lose her life.

"What do you want?" Lu Shaoyang asked through gritted teeth, with a hint of weakness in his voice.

"It's very simple. Let this kid kneel down and kowtow to me and admit his fault!" Zhao Tianlong pointed at Qi Tongwei and said arrogantly, "Then, you have to compensate me 10 million for mental damages, and the matter will be settled."

"You're dreaming!" Before Lu Shaoyang could say anything, Qi Tongwei sneered, "You think you're worthy enough to make me kneel?!"

Zhao Tianlong heard this, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He pushed Su Qing to the ground, then took out a dagger from his waist, put it against Su Qing's neck, and said viciously: "Boy, say it again?!"

The sharp blade cut Su Qing's fair skin, and blood immediately gushed out. Su Qing was so scared that her face turned pale and her whole body was trembling. She looked at Qi Tongwei desperately, her eyes full of pleading.

"Lawyer Qi, I beg you, just agree to him!" Su Qing said in a crying voice, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

Qi Tongwei looked at Su Qing's tearful face, and felt mixed emotions. He knew that if he didn't bow his head today, Su Qing would definitely die. But he couldn't kneel down to a gangster!

"What? Are you heartbroken?" Zhao Tianlong looked at Qi Tongwei's expression and laughed triumphantly, "I'm telling you, it's too late! Today, you have to kneel whether you want to or not!"

"Really?" Qi Tongwei suddenly laughed, his laughter full of sarcasm and disdain, "I want to see how you make me kneel!"

Zhao Tianlong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Qi Tongwei would still be so stubborn at this time. He was furious and was about to teach Qi Tongwei a lesson when suddenly, the office door was pushed open again.

"stop!"

A majestic voice sounded, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a middle-aged man in uniform and with a police rank on his shoulders walk in. Behind him followed several fully armed policemen, each with a stern face and murderous intent.

"Director Wang!" When Zhao Tianlong saw the person coming, the arrogance on his face suddenly vanished without a trace, replaced by deep fear. He never thought that the police would show up at this time.

"Zhao Tianlong, you are suspected of illegal detention, intentional injury, and extortion. Now, you are arrested!" Director Wang said coldly.

Zhao Tianlong still wanted to quibble, but Director Wang didn't give him a chance. He waved his hand and the police behind him immediately stepped forward and subdued Zhao Tianlong and his bodyguards.

Su Qing was saved, she collapsed on the ground, still in shock. Lu Shaoyang also breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Qi Tongwei gratefully, but found that Qi Tongwei's face did not show any joy, but frowned, as if thinking about something.

"Director Wang, why are you here?" Qi Tongwei asked.

Director Wang smiled and said, "Someone called the police and said there was trouble here. After I received the call, I immediately brought people here."

"Call the police?" Qi Tongwei looked at Lu Shaoyang and Su Qing, and both of them shook their heads, indicating that they were not the ones who called the police.

"Who called the police?" Qi Tongwei was full of doubts.

Director Wang did not answer Qi Tongwei's question. He patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Xiao Qi, you are very good, very good! Keep working hard, I am optimistic about you!"

After saying that, Director Wang took his men away.

Only Qi Tongwei, Lu Shaoyang and Su Qing were left in the office.

"Lawyer Qi, thank you so much for today!" Su Qing got up from the ground, walked to Qi Tongwei, and said gratefully, "If it weren't for you, I would have..."

"Ms. Su, you are too polite. It is my duty to help those in need when I see injustice," Qi Tongwei said calmly.

Su Qing wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Shaoyang: "Okay, Su Qing, go back and rest first, leave this to me."

Su Qing hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and left the office.

Lu Shaoyang looked at Su Qing's back as she left, a complicated look flashed across his eyes, then he turned around, looked at Qi Tongwei, and asked, "Lawyer Qi, who are you?"

Qi Tongwei smiled and said nothing. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire city, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

Lu Shaoyang looked at Qi Tongwei's back, his heart filled with doubts and uneasiness...

Lu Shaoyang stared at Qi Tongwei's back, feeling mixed emotions. He wanted to know the story behind Qi Tongwei. This thin-looking young lawyer could actually get in touch with Director Wang and make Director Wang look at him differently. The power behind this made him feel uneasy, but also mixed with a hint of expectation.

Qi Tongwei turned around, his face no longer had the fierceness he had when facing Zhao Tianlong, replaced by the calmness of the past, as if everything that had just happened was just an insignificant episode. "Mr. Lu, thank you for what you did today."

Lu Shaoyang came back to his senses and forced a smile, "Lawyer Qi, you are too polite. Su Qing is my friend, and this matter was originally caused by me."

Qi Tongwei walked to the sofa and sat down. He picked up the cigarette box on the table, but found that it was empty. "Mr. Lu, if it's convenient, can you lend me a light?"

Lu Shaoyang quickly took out his lighter and handed it over respectfully. Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, exhaled a cloud of thick smoke, and then slowly said: "Mr. Lu, you should know that people like Zhao Tianlong have some connections in the underworld. He will not let go of today's matter."

Lu Shaoyang's face changed. He knew that what Qi Tongwei said was true. Although Zhao Tianlong was a gangster, he had great influence in this area and had connections in both the black and white worlds. After suffering such a big loss today, he would definitely not let them go easily.

"Lawyer Qi, what do you say we should do? I'll listen to you!" Lu Shaoyang said anxiously. Although he was the company's boss, he was just a businessman after all. He had never seen such a scene before.

Qi Tongwei flicked the ash off his cigarette and said calmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu. Since Director Wang has intervened in today's matter, he will not sit idly by. Zhao Tianlong won't be able to stay alive for many more days."

Lu Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again, "But, even if Zhao Tianlong is caught, there's no guarantee that he won't retaliate against us!"

Qi Tongwei smiled, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "If he wants revenge, he has to have the opportunity. Although I, Qi Tongwei, am not a big shot, I am not someone that anyone can bully!"

Lu Shaoyang was shocked by Qi Tongwei's momentum. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He knew that Qi Tongwei was not bragging. This young lawyer was much more complicated and terrifying than he had imagined.

"Mr. Lu, it's getting late. I should go back." Qi Tongwei stood up and brushed off the cigarette ash on his body. "Please take care of Miss Su. If there is anything, please contact me at any time."

Lu Shaoyang quickly stood up to see Qi Tongwei off to the office door and watched him walk into the elevator.

Back in the office, Lu Shaoyang couldn't calm down for a long time. He walked to the French window, overlooking the brightly lit city, and kept thinking about every detail of his encounter with Qi Tongwei. Who was this man? What was his purpose in approaching Su Qing and then approaching himself?

Lu Shaoyang's heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness. He didn't know that a bigger storm was coming towards him...

Qi Tongwei flicked the ash off his cigarette, his eyes sharp as a knife, "If he wants revenge, he has to see if he has the luck to do it!"

Lu Shaoyang was shocked by Qi Tongwei's ruthlessness. He had always thought that this young lawyer was just a bit clever, but he didn't expect that he was so cruel. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva and asked carefully, "Lawyer Qi, what are you going to do?"

Qi Tongwei did not answer directly, but asked: "Mr. Lu, what do you think people like Zhao Tianlong are most afraid of?"

Lu Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and tentatively answered: "Are you afraid... afraid of losing face? Afraid of not being able to make it in the underworld?"

Qi Tongwei sneered, "You are right, but that is not enough." He paused and said word by word, "People like them are most afraid of death!"

Lu Shaoyang took a deep breath. He finally understood what Qi Tongwei meant. "Lawyer Qi, what do you mean..."

"I won't dirty my hands." Qi Tongwei interrupted Lu Shaoyang directly, "People like Zhao Tianlong have countless dirty deeds on their hands. Even if he dies on the street one day, it's his own fault."

Lu Shaoyang felt a chill on his back. He finally saw the other side of this young lawyer. Qi Tongwei looked gentle and elegant on the surface, but he was fierce in his bones, like a sleeping lion. Once enraged, he would burst out with amazing power.

"Mr. Lu, don't worry. I will take care of this matter." Qi Tongwei put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray. "You just need to do what you are supposed to do."

Lu Shaoyang nodded quickly. He was full of awe and even a little fear towards Qi Tongwei. He realized that he had accidentally been involved in a dangerous game, and he knew nothing about the rules of this game.

After sending Qi Tongwei away, Lu Shaoyang immediately called Su Qing, wanting to tell her what happened today, but a cold, mechanical female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, the number you dialed is turned off..."
