Just after nuclear fusion was successfully achieved, my brother Qi Tongwei committed suicide?

Could it be that his father had pulled some strings? But after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Ruilong felt that something was amiss.

He may be bad, but he's not stupid.

He knew that his father, Zhao Lichun, was already in dire straits.

How could they possibly have the resources to protect him?

And the person who released him was Hou Liangping!

Who is Hou Liangping?

The son-in-law of the Zhong family represents the Zhong family!

The reason Zhao Ruilong was arrested is inextricably linked to the Zhong family. Anyone could have released him, whether it was Qi Tongwei or Gao Yuliang.

But how could it be Hou Liangping?

Zhao Ruilong couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried. Could it be that things had changed outside while he was in custody?

However, regarding Hou Liangping...

Zhao Ruilong still had doubts and didn't dare to say much after leaving the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

He immediately called his second sister.

"Hey, second sister, I'm coming out."

"What exactly happened? How did I get released?"

"Does that mean the old man won?"

But Zhao Xiaohui's answer on the other end of the phone was something Zhao Ruilong never expected.

"Win? With a son like you around, how easy is it to win?"

"You're already lucky you didn't drag him down with you!"

"The reason you were released now is because of Qi Tongwei. After you were arrested, the next target was Qi Tongwei."

"But I don't know what happened."

"Someone suddenly wanted to protect Qi Tongwei, and even successfully promoted him to the position of deputy provincial-level cadre."

"Sha Ruijin and his gang suffered a crushing defeat at the provincial party committee standing committee meeting."

Zhao Ruilong became more and more confused as he listened.

Qi Tongwei's promotion to deputy provincial-level cadre, isn't that a good thing?

Qi Tongwei is one of their people!

But why did my second sister's tone sound so unfriendly when she talked about Qi Tongwei? It seemed like her attitude wasn't very good?

Zhao Ruilong said whatever came to mind.

He asked, "This is a good thing! It means that Handong's base is still intact, and our Zhao family still has the strength to support us!"

"Is it because Qi Tongwei was promoted to deputy provincial-level official?"

"That's why I released him?"

Zhao Ruilong had read some history of the Ming Dynasty and knew that the reason why Yan Song was able to remain in the court for less than a few decades was that his protégés and associates were spread throughout the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

The imperial court relies on his people to collect taxes and to wage wars; naturally, it cannot do without him.

Zhao Lichun's current situation is somewhat similar to that of Yan Song.

Handong is the foundation upon which he stands in that position! If he loses Handong, he'll be like a castle in the air, with nothing to rely on!

And speaking of it.

Zhao Ruilong's knowledge of the history of the Ming Dynasty was also related to Gao Yuliang.

Although Gao Yuliang was always wary of Zhao Ruilong and the two didn't interact much, Zhao Ruilong was familiar with Gao Xiaofeng!

When Gao Xiaofeng first studied Ming Dynasty history, it was Zhao Ruilong who found her expert professors!

"Good news?" But Zhao Xiaohui's tone was unfriendly as she said, "What do you know!"

"Now that Qi Tongwei has someone backing him, he's become bolder and more powerful."

"They want to sever ties with the Zhao family!"

"And do you know who's behind him protecting him? It's another Zhao family, the Zhao family that Zhao Mengsheng is from!"

"And that's not all."

"Qi Tongwei is also involved with Qiangsheng Group, a multinational conglomerate worth hundreds of billions."

"Use them to deal with our Shanshui Group and Huilong Group."

Zhao Ruilong became more and more confused as he listened.

Qi Tongwei wants to sever ties with the Zhao family, but what does that have to do with his release?

"The reason you were released."

"It has a significant connection with Qi Tongwei. The presence of that force in Handong threatens the Zhong family behind Sha Ruijin and Hou Liangping."

“They naturally don’t want to see that force grow stronger in Handong.”

"That's why they made up their minds to join forces with us to deal with Qi Tongwei, Gao Yuliang, and the Zhao family behind them!"

Now Zhao Ruilong finally understood completely.

From Zhao Ruilong's perspective, it was Qi Tongwei who betrayed his father Zhao Lichun, tried to sever ties with the Zhao family, and kicked them when they were down.

Then he found another powerful backer.

This resulted in dissatisfaction from Sha Ruijin and the Zhong family.

So they joined forces with Zhao Lichun.

Zhao Ruilong was then released.

"Qi Tongwei has some nerve!" Zhao Ruilong said, hands on his hips, his face full of malice. "He's just a stray dog ​​that the Zhao family keeps!"

"How dare you oppose our Zhao family!"

"I think he's got a death wish! I'll contact Spotted Tiger later and have him come over and kill Qi Tongwei!"

And on the other end of the phone.

Zhao Xiaohui remained silent for a moment.

After a long time.

He slowly said, "The spotted tiger has already come; it was seriously injured and sent abroad."

"Don't say too much yet."

"You go back to Huilong Group first. Next, we will join forces with Sha Ruijin and the Zhong family to deal with Qi Tongwei."

And on the other side.

Gao Yuliang, Qi Tongwei, and Governor Liu all received the news of Zhao Ruilong's release immediately.

This is a very clear signal!

With Zhao Ruilong's release, the political landscape of Handong underwent a complete 180-degree turn!

The three immediately gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Gao Yuliang was the most angry.

"Hou Liangping is utterly lawless! He can just release Zhao Ruilong like that? Does he have any bottom line or principles left?!"

"The biggest failure of my life, Gao Yuliang, is that I have taught such a student!"

Gao Yuliang had high expectations for Hou Liangping.

But reality repeatedly disappointed him in Hou Liangping.

On the contrary, it was Qi Tongwei, whom he had never had high hopes for.

Yet they proved themselves time and time again.

"Teacher, don't be angry. It's not a big deal that Zhao Ruilong has been released."

"If we are upright, we have nothing to fear."

But Gao Yuliang was very worried.

He shook his head and said, "What I fear is not Zhao Ruilong, but the political upheaval that his release represents."

"Think about it, what if Hou Liangping didn't agree?"

How could Zhao Ruilong have been released?

"How could Hou Liangping dare to act rashly without Tian Guofu's consent and Sha Ruijin's approval?"

"Things are getting complicated now!"

Gao Yuliang keenly perceived the deeper meaning behind it; it was a political signal!

Governor Liu, who was standing to the side, nodded frequently.
