Wu Yi glared at Old Zhang. This old guy, saying he wasn't afraid? His palms were sweating! But he wasn't wrong; they represented the dignity of the law, what was there to be afraid of!

"Let's go!" Wu Yi waved his hand and stepped into the gate of Shanshui Group first.

……

At the same time, Zhong Xiaoai received a call from Wu Yi.

"Hello, Xiao Ai, it's me." Wu Yi's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

"How is it? Any progress?" Zhong Xiaoai's fingers, which were gripping the phone, turned slightly white, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Sigh..." Wu Yi sighed, "That old fox Tian Guofu is clearly trying to protect us and make us evacuate Handong tomorrow."

Zhong Xiaoai's heart sank, a sense of helplessness washing over her. Was she really going to give up like this? Was she really going to just stand by and watch Hou Liangping suffer such an injustice?

Do not!She is not reconciled!

"Xiao Ai, I know you're worried about Hou Liangping, but there's nothing we can do about it right now..."

"No! There's another way!" Zhong Xiaoai suddenly stood up, interrupting Wu Yi.

"any solution?"

“Huang Feipeng!” Zhong Xiaoai said, emphasizing each word, “He is the breakthrough point!”

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Xiaoai paced back and forth in the room, her mind replaying every detail related to Huang Feipeng.

Her husband had suffered at his hands many times, and this time he took advantage of the chaos to run away again.

More importantly, Zhong Xiaoai knew that there was an irreconcilable conflict between Huang Feipeng and Hou Liangping!

"Huang Feipeng, you'll definitely slip up!" A cold glint flashed in Zhong Xiaoai's eyes. She wanted to seize this opportunity to bring Huang Feipeng to justice and clear Hou Liangping's name!

On the other end, Qi Tongwei was answering the phone with a smug look on his face, his voice brimming with undisguised excitement: "Yes, sir, I understand, I guarantee I will complete the mission! Thank you for your trust in me!"

Qi Tongwei put down the phone with trembling hands. The good news coming from the other end of the line made him so excited that he paced back and forth in the room.

The deputy mayor of the capital city! This is a highly prestigious and powerful position. Countless people are eager to squeeze into that circle, and many people have given their all for this position, only to leave in disappointment in the end.

And Qi Tongwei, a poor boy from a remote mountain area, actually got such an opportunity.

When this incredible windfall came his way, he even wondered if he was dreaming.

He recalled his past self, the young man who toiled in the mud, struggling to make a name for himself.

He thought of Liang Lu again, the woman who used marriage to propel him to the pinnacle of power.

Was it fate's arrangement, or his own efforts, that ultimately enabled him to stand in this position?

All of this felt like an unreal dream, leaving him both excited and terrified.

He knew in his heart that although he was doing very well in the political arena in Handong, once he arrived in the capital, he would be like a rootless duckweed.

This transfer must have been orchestrated by someone behind the scenes. After much thought, who else besides the incredibly powerful Mr. Huang could have such influence?

"It seems that the choice we made back then was indeed the right one..." Qi Tongwei's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

A scene from many years ago flashed through Qi Tongwei's mind. Back then, he was just a spirited anti-drug police officer, eager to make a name for himself in his career.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow. He was assigned to protect a woman named Liang Lu, a powerful second-generation official who was ten years older than him.

"What, you don't want to?" Liang Lu looked at him contemptuously, a playful smile on her lips. "Who do you think you are? Just a poor kid who climbed up the ranks by using a little bit of cleverness. Without me, do you think you could survive in Handong?"

Qi Tongwei clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh, but he was powerless to refute.

At that moment, he became acutely aware of the power of authority and the cruelty of reality.

Just as he was accepting his fate and wallowing in the mire, Huang Feipeng appeared. This mysterious businessman, like an omnipotent savior, opened the door to the pinnacle of power for him.

"Do you want to climb up? Do you want to have supreme power?" Huang Feipeng's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it had some kind of magic that made Qi Tongwei unable to resist.

"I can give you everything you want: money, power, women, as long as you submit to me." Huang Feipeng handed Qi Tongwei a glass of red wine, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "This glass of wine marks the beginning of your choice of destiny."

Qi Tongwei readily agreed.

What followed was exactly as Huang Feipeng had promised; he rose rapidly through the ranks. With just a word from Huang Feipeng, he became the youngest vice governor in Handong Province.

Now he's actually going to the capital again; this time I guess I made the right bet.

Qi Tongwei knew perfectly well that Huang Feipeng's move was brilliant. Transferring him to the capital, seemingly away from the power center of Handong, was in reality a stepping stone to a much larger stage.

These are all centers of power. Here, he will have more opportunities to contact higher-ranking officials and pave the way for Huang Feipeng to make more crucial connections.

"Hmph, Zhong Xiaoai, Hou Liangping, just you wait and see! Once I climb to a higher position, I'll see how I deal with you!" A sinister glint flashed in Qi Tongwei's eyes, as if he could already see himself trampling those who had once stood in his way under his feet.

He seemed to see himself in the near future, wearing a sharp suit and a shining badge, walking confidently down the red carpet, flanked by people from all walks of life who looked at him with envy and awe.

He calmly walked onto the podium and accepted the appointment letter that represented power and glory. At that moment, he would become the most dazzling star in the entire political arena!

"Power, money, women—I, Qi Tongwei, will have them all!" He clenched his fists, his heart filled with longing for the future.

The news spread like wildfire through the officialdom of Handong, and the news of Qi Tongwei's transfer to the capital became a hot topic of discussion on the streets.

When Gao Yuliang heard the news, he almost dropped his teacup. The scalding tea splashed onto his hand, but he didn't even notice.

"The capital? How did he get transferred to the capital?!" Gao Yuliang muttered to himself in disbelief, his face turning ashen.

He always regarded Qi Tongwei as his pawn, a tool that he could manipulate at will.

But now, this piece has actually jumped off his chessboard and run to a place he can't control. How can he tolerate this?

Gao Yuliang tried hard to suppress his anger. He knew that he couldn't afford to lose his composure at this moment.
