The country entrusted me to buy an aircraft carrier, Hou Liangping, do you dare to investigate?

Qi Tongwei poured out his grievances to Zhao Ruilong, emphasizing that none of those things were done of his own volition, but were forced by circumstances.

Zhao Ruilong looked at Qi Tongwei with a mixture of belief and doubt upon hearing his words.

"No way, Tongwei, you can't lie to your brother. You're the vice governor now. Even if Hou Liangping is bold, he wouldn't investigate so openly."

Qi Tongwei poured himself a glass of wine and irritably downed it in one gulp.

"Why not? Don't think that just because I'm the vice governor now, Hou Liangping doesn't respect me at all. He's backed by the Zhong family."

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei pointed upwards.

"I can't afford to offend them either."

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Zhao Ruilong's mind raced. If he followed Qi Tongwei's suggestion, wouldn't what Cheng Du did give the Zhong family an opportunity?

Could all of this be part of the Zhong family's scheme to take Handong back from him and his son?

Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in Zhao Ruilong's eyes, and the next moment, he slammed his hand on the table.

"Tongwei, don't worry, the Zhao family still holds power in Handong. So what if the Zhong family is powerful? Our Zhao family isn't afraid of them."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei sighed, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

“Sigh, Mr. Zhao, even someone with your background dared to take you into custody today. Think about what else he wouldn’t dare to do, not to mention me. As the vice governor, I’ll just do my job and see it through.”

Looking at Qi Tongwei's dejected face, Zhao Ruilong could no longer suppress his anger.

"Hou Liangping, what audacity! If we don't teach him a lesson this time, he'll think that Handong is the Zhong family's territory."

"Tongwei, don't worry, leave this to your brother. I'll definitely teach Hou Liangping a lesson. Then, Handong will still be our territory."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei remained noncommittal about Zhao Ruilong's words. Poor young master Zhao was still living in the past. Things had changed. Seeing that your Zhao family was Sha Ruijin's next target, wouldn't it be asking for trouble if he tried to get close to them now?

Qi Tongwei and Zhao Ruilong talked so much in order to buy time. After all, according to Huang Feipeng's plan, they could only complete the task when Hou Liangping arrived at Wangbeilou and faced Zhao Ruilong face to face.

Now, one of the main characters has arrived, but the other's whereabouts are still unknown.

Qi Tongwei smiled bitterly to himself. The fire was already burning, but the lead actor hadn't arrived yet, and he had run out of lies to tell.

So Qi Tongwei poured himself another glass of wine and drank it down in a somber mood.

"Young Master Zhao, I've finished the three cups of penalty wine. I have to go out and deal with some matters at the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Sigh, another troublesome matter."

With that, Qi Tongwei shook his head, got up, and left.

As Zhao Ruilong watched Qi Tongwei turn and leave, a strange anger welled up inside him. What, did the Zhao family's reputation not count as much as the Zhong family's?

Hou Liangping has such great influence that he could scare Qi Tongwei like this.

Zhao Ruilong was seething with anger, but had nowhere to vent it, so he could only sit in the chair and drink his wine helplessly.

But he was determined to teach Hou Liangping a lesson.

Only in this way can Qi Tongwei possibly return to their side, and only then will Handong return to the control of the Zhao family.

At this moment, Zhao Ruilong also realized why he had encountered so many setbacks in his trip to Handong, and why even Gao Yuliang showed him no respect.

It turns out that the Zhong family was behind this. Given Gao Yuliang's cunning, he would have remained on the sidelines until the situation stabilized before making his own choice.

Zhao Ruilong smiled coldly. Today he finally saw through everything. It turned out that Hou Liangping was the one behind it all.

"Alright, let's have a good fight and see if your Zhong family is stronger, or our Zhao family is stronger."

……

Meanwhile, at the airport.

Hou Liangping rushed to the airport, but the scene he had imagined did not appear. Instead, he saw a pale-faced Chen Dong and members of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Upon seeing this, Hou Liangping became furious.

"What's going on with you guys? Where's Huang Feipeng? Did he get away?"

Chen Dong's face darkened when he heard Hou Liangping's words. He knew that being held at gunpoint was no pleasant experience, and his pants were still a little wet. It was one thing for Hou Liangping not to care about them, but to start questioning them right away?

"Of course he ran away. With the army protecting him, how could we stop him?"

Hou Liangping's eyes widened upon hearing this. What was going on? How could someone dare to talk back to him, Hou Liangping?

Is it that Hou Liangping is no longer powerful, or that the Zhong family behind him has lost its deterrent effect?

However, the current situation is to capture Huang Feipeng as soon as possible. Hou Liangping decided not to lower himself to Huang Feipeng's level for now, so he quickly said.

"So what if you have military vehicles? You're a member of the anti-corruption bureau..."

Chen Dong's face darkened upon hearing Hou Liangping's words, and the anti-corruption bureau members behind him also glared at Hou Liangping with resentment.

"Director Hou, what are you saying?"

Chen Dong took a few steps forward and pointed to his own nose.

"I didn't have the guts? Where were you when I led my men to stop the car? Where were you when we were being held at gunpoint? And now you dare to say such things to me with such audacity?"

Hou Liangping was stunned when he heard this, and then subconsciously slapped his thigh.

"Are you stupid? Would the army shoot at you to protect a small-time businessman?"

"They are protecting the contents of the vehicle, which, as far as I know, are classified information."

"You rushed in so recklessly, no wonder they pointed guns at you."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Where did Huang Feipeng go? Let's hurry and catch up with him."

Chen Dong was a little confused when he heard this, and pointed in a direction. Only after Hou Liangping's car disappeared from sight did he come to his senses and realize that what Hou Liangping said made sense.

Everyone knows exactly who Huang Feipeng is. He's just a small-time businessman under Qi Tongwei, yet he's managed to fool them by taking advantage of their power.

Thinking of this, Chen Dong felt like he had been played, and he could no longer contain his anger. He turned around and looked at the crowd behind him.

"What are you all standing there for? Get in the car and chase after them!"

The members of the anti-corruption bureau, having come to their senses, hurriedly got into their cars and gave chase.

Hou Liangping looked at the empty space ahead and was extremely anxious. He couldn't let Huang Feipeng get away like this, otherwise he would miss a chance to turn things around.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the driver.
