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

Qi Tongwei stared ahead with a gloomy expression.

Hou Liangping always looked down on his senior, always thinking he was superior.

Qi Tongwei was dismissive of this, thinking, "So what if she married a good wife?"

Why do you think you're so superior?

Who gave you that confidence? Was it your wife?

Gao Yuliang sighed.

"The situation in Handong is already very chaotic. The arrival of the monkey at this critical juncture will definitely cause even more trouble."

"If you can't cooperate with him, then you have no choice but to end all of this before then, you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei's eyes hardened. Cooperate with Hou Liangping?

That's impossible. Not to mention his bad relationship with Hou Liangping, Hou Liangping's repeated provocations of Huang Feipeng make it impossible for the two to cooperate.

Huang Feipeng considered Hou Liangping a clown and disdained to deal with him, so he had to take matters into his own hands.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei said in a deep voice.

"I understand, teacher."

Gao Yuliang sighed and hung up the phone.

Then he slowly shook his head.

He was also somewhat helpless regarding Hou Liangping.

Such a person, who rose to power through his wife's influence, started bossing others around. If his wife hadn't been so capable, he would have been dealt with long ago.

……

Meanwhile, Qi Tongwei drove to the Public Security Bureau and went straight to Cheng Du's office.

At this moment, Cheng Du, dressed in a police uniform, sat solemnly in his office.

When he saw Qi Tongwei enter, he immediately stood up.

"Governor Qi, you're here to arrest me, aren't you? Leave now?"

Qi Tongwei looked at Cheng Du, who had stood up, and silently patted him on the shoulder.

"Sit down, let's have a good talk. Tell me the whole story."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Du sat down. In his mind, he was already a dead man, and every extra moment he could live was a bonus. Therefore, he answered Qi Tongwei's questions without reservation.

"That day, Zhao Ruilong summoned me to the Shanshui Manor and asked me to teach Chen Hai a lesson so that he would behave himself."

“However, I realized that Chen Qingquan knows a lot about you, so I decided to go all the way and get rid of him once and for all.”

"It was my cousin Chang Chenghu who did it..."

Qi Tongwei was deeply moved to hear that Cheng Du was still thinking of him at this time.

I wanted to keep him even more.

After all, it's easy to find a thousand soldiers but hard to find a good general; such a loyal person is hard to come by.

After all, in the current situation in Handong, Qi Tongwei can be said to be all alone. Although he has Huang Feipeng as a powerful figure behind him, he is inevitably somewhat isolated and helpless.

Therefore, finding those people worth winning over is now one of Qi Tongwei's most urgent tasks.

Just as he was sighing, Qi Tongwei seemed to remember something and suddenly stood up.

"What did you say? Zhao Ruilong instructed you to do this?"

If it really was Zhao Rui who instigated it, then things will be much easier. As long as we find evidence, Cheng Du can be completely saved.

Du Cheng looked at Qi Tongwei with surprise, then silently shook his head.

"He just wanted me to teach him a lesson, but it was my own idea."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei shook his head in disappointment, but then his eyes began to light up.

Putting aside the extent of the problem, he really couldn't remember that Zhao Ruilong was the one who started all of this.

If this incident can bring down Zhao Ruilong, then in the face of the behemoth that is the Zhao family, Cheng Du, such a small figure, will seem insignificant.

Moreover, there are many benefits to doing so.

First, it aligns with Sha Ruijin's future governing philosophy, allowing it to proceed legitimately.

Secondly, the downfall of the Zhao family will definitely create many vacant positions. Wouldn't that give him a better chance to find like-minded people? Wouldn't Huang Feipeng's career be even more successful in the future?

Thirdly, he had confidence in Huang Feipeng, knowing that in his eyes, Zhao Ruilong was just a nobody, and that getting rid of Zhao Ruilong would make things much smoother for Huang Feipeng.

This move has many benefits, and Huang Feipeng must be very happy about it.

Qi Tongwei is now considering things entirely from Huang Feipeng's perspective, always putting Huang Feipeng's interests first.

There's no way around it; being the head of Huang Feipeng's faction means having to worry about this.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei patted Cheng Du's shoulder with a heavy expression.

"I understand your concern, but as you know, this matter has become quite a big deal. Now, not only in Handong, but even in the capital, people are starting to pay attention to it."

"So it's very difficult for me to protect you."

Cheng Du nodded upon hearing this. After all, he was a deputy director-level cadre, so such a big commotion was to be expected.

Qi Tongwei sighed.

"But, since you've treated me like this, I can't just stand by and watch something happen to you."

"Alright, from now on, you must follow my instructions. Maybe that will save your life."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Du's eyes widened. Good heavens, he could survive something like this?

Could the rumors circulating outside be true?

Did Qi Tongwei manage to curry favor with Sha Ruijin?

At this moment, Cheng Du saw a glimmer of hope for survival and naturally obeyed Qi Tongwei's every word.

Qi Tongwei bent down, looked directly into Cheng Du's eyes, and said calmly.

"First, Chang Chenghu, hand him over to me."

"Secondly, you go back to Zhao Ruilong's side, gather intelligence, and wait for the right opportunity. Only when he falls will you be insignificant by his side, and only then can you survive, understand?"

Du Cheng's expression turned serious, and he nodded solemnly.

Qi Tongwei patted his shoulder heavily.

"Alright, that's all I can do. As for the final result..."

Cheng Du nodded silently.

The worst outcome was simply death; he had long been prepared to die.

……

Meanwhile, in the capital, at the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Hou Liangping sat in his seat with a gloomy expression. He knew something had happened when he made the phone call yesterday.

Without Chen Hai, how can he earn merit? How can he turn his life around?

Hou Liangping was furious when he saw the group of people dawdling outside.

Since he returned, these people have been ignoring him and dragging their feet when working.

Clearly, he had one intention: to seek punishment and a transfer.

Hou Liangping had never been treated like this before, but there was nothing he could do; things were different now.

Zhong Xiaoai had just forgiven him; she couldn't act as recklessly as before.

If something goes wrong again, I can't imagine how Zhong Xiaoai will react.

Just when Hou Liangping was at his wit's end, Qin Siyuan, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, called him to his office.

"Comrade Hou Liangping, you must already know about the situation in Handong."

"You are quite familiar with Handong, as you have been keeping an eye on it since the Ding Yizhen case."

"Now that Chen Hai is in trouble, there is no leader in Handong. You are the most suitable candidate."

"Go there and temporarily take over as the head of the anti-corruption bureau. You must bring the people behind this to justice."
