Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

"Is there anything else we need to provide?"

The receptionist's words brought Qi Tongwei back to his senses.

"I'd like to see the surveillance footage right now."

Qi Tongwei handed the hard drive to Director Liu and then showed his identification.

"Okay, no problem, this way please."

I arrived at the monitoring room and sat down in front of the computer.

Qi Tongwei had just picked up the mouse when he asked:

"What time did they arrive to check in?"

"At 8:31:17, they arrived at the front desk."

"..."

Upon hearing such an accurate time announcement, Qi Tongwei felt a sense of foreboding.

"Wait a minute, you gave us a hard drive, can we still play it back?"

"Of course, we have dual hard drive backup, with another hard drive on the main unit."

"Okay, let me see!"

Putting on his headphones, Qi Tongwei scrolled through the progress bar.

When he saw that the man Lu Yike was intimately holding was actually Zhao Ruilong, the son of Governor Zhao.

It was as if a huge explosion had occurred in his mind, leaving him completely stunned.

My mind went completely blank!

"Isn't that Wei Ge?"

"Are these two people next to him the young adulterous couple he was talking about?"

Upon hearing Director Liu's voice, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but frown.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Mind your place!"

Director Liu paused for a moment, then suddenly became alert.

"Okay, okay."

Qi Tongwei smiled and looked at the receptionist.

"You go ahead and do your thing. We'll call you if we need anything."

"Ok!"

Rewind to 31 minutes and 17 seconds, and Qi Tongwei clicks play.

"Give me a double room, please!"

"Don't let her drive it! Don't!!"

……

Qi Tongwei finally understood why Liang Wei had run a red light and gotten into a car accident.

He pooled his family's money to buy a new car, intending to give it to the goddess he had been pursuing for a long time.

As a result, the goddess not only refused the car he gave her, but also went to a hotel with Zhao Ruilong.

How could he not be furious, being so petty?

The two fathers are vying for the top position in Handong.

Therefore, Liang Wei naturally disliked Zhao Ruilong and was particularly eager to cause trouble.

When they learned that their plan had fallen through, the two were not in the hotel room at all.

At that moment, Liang Wei must have felt utterly devastated.

He drove away in a daze, not noticing the red light.

With a sudden, deafening crash, the person and the car were thrown into the air...

"You go out first, I'll make a phone call!"

"Uh... okay, okay, I'll be right at the door. Call me if you need anything."

Director Liu left the monitoring room and closed the door behind him.

Qi Tongwei took out his phone and found his brother-in-law's number.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy. Please wait..."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei put it down.

They threatened the hotel not to let guests check in and even asked Director Liu to arrest people...

How familiar this tactic is!

What a familiar feeling!

This immediately reminded Qi Tongwei of the time when Liang Lu pursued him relentlessly.

Even after she openly stated that the woman she deeply loved was Chen Yang, Liang Lu still refused to let her go and became even more ruthless.

I didn't want to spend my whole life in that remote judicial office, and I struggled with that decision.

He risked his life and volunteered to become a highly dangerous anti-drug police officer.

He later fought a bloody battle with drug traffickers at Lone Eagle Ridge, sustaining three gunshot wounds, and became a hero in the fight against drugs.

But what's the use?

"What is a hero? Just a tool!"

"Heroes cannot resist the power they wield!"

With a sigh, Qi Tongwei silently lit a cigarette.

"Lu Yike and Zhao Ruilong are quite clever!"

"Knowing that Liang Wei, like his second sister, was extremely vengeful, I booked a room but did not check in."

"Otherwise, if Director Liu follows Liang Wei's instructions and arrests them for interrogation, tonight will be even more exciting!"

"The Zhao family alone is enough to give my father-in-law a headache, and with the Lu family added on top of that... he might as well retire altogether!"

With a sigh and a bitter smile, Qi Tongwei took a deep drag on his cigarette.

He only has one thought in his mind right now.

The Liang family's ship is likely to sink.

I must find a way to avoid being implicated.

but……

Before I could even think of a solution, my phone rang.

Upon seeing that it was his "wife" calling, Qi Tongwei quickly answered the call.

"Hey honey, I've arrived at the Maple Forest Hotel. I just checked the security footage."

"I know, my brother told us, can you recognize who the person who checked into the hotel with Lu Yike is?"

"Zhao Ruilong!"

"Who?"

Liang Lu raised her voice, clearly incredulous.

“It was definitely him, Zhao Ruilong, the third son of Governor Zhao. I saw him clearly, and I also heard Xiao Wei threatening and intimidating the hotel receptionist…”

No sooner had Zhao Ruilong finished speaking than he heard his father-in-law, Liang Qunfeng, exclaim in surprise.

'How could it be him?'

'Didn't he just get released from prison not long ago?'

How did Lu Yike end up with him?

'If Lu Yike had booked a hotel room with another man, Xiao Wei might not have been so furious, but unfortunately, it was Zhao Ruilong.'

Why do you say that?

He didn't want Zhao Lichun to win against you, so naturally he also disliked Zhao Ruilong, believing that Zhao Ruilong had stolen his love.

'That brat, he's so foolish! She's just a woman, what's there to argue about?'

……

I heard my father-in-law and Liang Lu talking on the phone.

Qi Tongwei wanted to remind everyone that there was no point in discussing who had booked a room with Lu Yike now.

Aren't the two biggest troubles Liang Wei running a red light and causing a car accident, and Liang Hai verbally abusing and threatening reporters?

But Qi Tongwei held back the words he was about to say.

"What are you talking about?"

"What's the point of saying anything now that things have come to this?"

"Besides, what qualifications do I, a son-in-law who married into the family, have?"

Having made up his mind, Qi Tongwei began to smoke slowly and deliberately.

It wasn't until Liang Lu on the other end of the phone finally remembered that the call hadn't ended.

"Tongwei, I'm going to find my colleague Wu Huifen right away. She's Lu Yike's aunt and the matchmaker who introduced Xiaowei to her." Don't worry about the hotel; you go back to the hospital immediately.

After saying that, the phone was hung up.

Qi Tongwei sneered.

"What use is it for you to find my teacher's wife, Wu Huifen?"

Even if you find Lu Yike herself, it will be of no use!

"Now they are people who have a grudge against the Liang family, and they are determined to seize on Liang Wei and Liang Hai and use this as an excuse to create public pressure."

"This will affect your father's advancement and increase Zhao Lichun's chances of winning. How can you, such a stupid woman, not be able to assess the situation at all?"

Qi Tongwei cursed, but he dared not call back.

Extinguish the cigarette butt and exit the monitoring software interface.

Qi Tongwei did not delete it.

Because of this video, it has been copied and archived countless times.

I left the hotel and returned to the hospital.

Seeing his brother-in-law on the phone, Qi Tongwei slowed down and approached.

"...Okay, okay, I got it. It's nothing. At worst, I'll just get a warning or a demotion. I'm not that petty. Well, thanks for your hard work, brother. I'll treat you to dinner another day!"

Liang Hai smiled and hung up the phone.

But the next second!

Bang! ! !

There was a loud bang.

Liang Hai angrily slammed his phone against the opposite wall.

In an instant, the phone shattered into pieces.

Director Liu, who was standing respectfully by his side, was startled.

Qi Tongwei remained calm and didn't even blink.

"damn it!"

"It's already on the evening news!"

"It will definitely be published in several newspapers tomorrow morning!"

"And my brother is still in critical condition, yet he has already been deemed fully responsible for the accident!"

"After living all these years, this is the first time I've ever seen that they can be this efficient!"

Liang Hai's eyes bulged out, and he was panting heavily.

Qi Tongwei remained silent and waved for the others to disperse.

After catching his breath, Liang Hai, gritting his teeth, roared again:

"They're already in such a hurry even though the top leader of Handong hasn't been decided yet?"

"You all believe my dad won't get the position, so you're all scrambling to jump out and seek revenge, and curry favor with the Zhao family, right?"

Out of the corner of his eye, Qi Tongwei noticed an increasing number of patients and their families curiously watching from the night emergency room.

He quickly patted Liang Hai's hand and kindly reminded him:

"Brother, don't get angry, lots of people are watching!"

"What are you looking at? Is there anything interesting to see?"

Liang Hai, still angry, suddenly stood up.

He unleashed a torrent of angry shouts and curses at the onlookers.

Qi Tongwei stared blankly, looking completely bewildered.

Suddenly, a sentence involuntarily popped into my mind.

"Those who are not family will not enter the same door!"

Both Liang Lu and Liang Wei, siblings, are petty and vengeful.

As the eldest brother, Liang Hai is naturally stronger.

His unrestrained and angry outbursts quickly angered the three drunkards.

As they argued, Liang Hai suddenly rushed forward to hit someone.

How could the opponent, who outnumbers them, possibly show weakness?

In an instant, the four of them were fighting in the emergency room lobby.

Qi Tongwei was about to rush forward to mediate the fight.

Then they saw Liang Hai being punched and kicked, his nose bleeding.

Suddenly, he pulled out a pen, ripped off the pen holder, and started poking around wildly.

Caught off guard, a fat man was stabbed hard in the abdomen.

In an instant, blood flowed freely, soaking through the white short-sleeved shirt.

Upon seeing this scene, Qi Tongwei felt his body go limp.

The hanging heart finally died...
