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

Li Dakang could easily rise to prominence.

As long as I win the political struggle, I will become the second-in-command of Handong Province after Governor Liu retires.

The entire team will be a one-man show run by the Sha family clique.

After all, the provincial party secretary, governor, secretary of the political and legal affairs commission, and secretary of the discipline inspection commission are all from the same faction.

At that time, won't they be able to get whatever they want in the entire Handong region?

But now Li Dakang suddenly felt that he might have been in the wrong position. The Zhong family was not as powerful and reliable as he had imagined, and Sha Ruijin could not refuse the Zhong family's requests.

Not to mention there's another important figure that even the Zhong family couldn't refuse!

This level of complexity... Li Dakang dared not think about it any further; just thinking about it was terrifying!

"Do you think the person protecting Qi Tongwei might be former Party Secretary Zhao Lichun?"

Li Dakang tried to voice a conjecture.

Although Zhao Lichun lost real power and stepped down to the second line, how could someone who has been in the political arena for so many years not have any trump cards?

Perhaps Zhao Lichun has used his last political resources this time.

Come and protect Qi Tongwei!

"That is indeed a possibility."

Sha Ruijin rubbed his fingers together and said, "If this is Zhao Lichun's last stand, it is indeed possible."

"The Zhong family is keeping quiet about who is protecting Qi Tongwei this time."

"The other person's name was not mentioned."

"I suspect that Zhao Lichun may have realized that once the political landscape of Handong Province is reshuffled, he will be the next target."

"That's why they would spend a huge amount of political resources to persuade this incredibly important person."

"Save Qi Tongwei."

Handong Province is the key point of contention between the Zhao and Zhong families.

This is also Zhao Lichun's base of support.

As long as the Han University clique in Handong Province remains, and considering the numerous consequences of purging Zhao Lichun, the higher-ups will not truly be determined to take action against him.

Therefore, in Sha Ruijin's view, it is highly likely that it was Zhao Lichun.

"If that's the case, then we can rest assured."

A glint of light flashed in Hou Liangping's eyes.

He said, "Zhao Lichun could get that person to come once, but he couldn't possibly do it a second time!"

"Our actions against Qi Tongwei can continue."

Hou Liangping wished he could go and bring Qi Tongwei back right now.

But Tian Guofu stopped Hou Liangping from doing so.

He said, "Qi Tongwei was just saved, and you turn around and go after him again? Doesn't that mean you don't respect that important person?"

"In the end, the effect might be counterproductive."

"If we really anger that important person, we might all suffer."

"What you need to do now is not to target Qi Tongwei."

"It's targeting people around Qi Tongwei! For example, Gao Xiaoqin, who has already been arrested!"

“You could easily invite Qi Tongwei over for tea.”

"Let's talk about this Gao Xiaoqin."

Sha Ruijin nodded as well.

He affirmed, "They are now fighting like cornered beasts; do not provoke them."

"We just need to wait for this incident to gradually subside."

"There are plenty of ways and methods to catch Qi Tongwei."

The next steps have been decided.

Hou Liangping took out his phone and walked towards the door.

-

The government compound, No. 3.

A phone call came in, and Qi Tongwei frowned as he looked at the name on the screen—Hou Liangping.

I don't know whether I should answer the call or not.

Gao Yuliang only glanced at it and knew that the person calling must be Hou Liangping.

"Tongwei."

"Don't have any psychological concerns, you should still answer the calls you need to."

Qi Tongwei nodded.

"I understand, teacher."

The call was then connected and put on speakerphone.

"Hey, senior, it's me, Hou Liangping."

Hou Liangping's voice rang out, and without waiting for Qi Tongwei's response, he said to himself, "Come over here later."

"I have someone here who you would definitely like to meet."

Qi Tongwei immediately thought of someone.

Gao Xiaoqin!

Her lover was also the shareholder of Shanshui Manor, and they had too many unclear and ambiguous relationships.

It can be said that if Gao Xiaoqin betrays him, he can produce a lot of evidence.

At that point, the evidence will be irrefutable!

No one can turn the tide!

"Senior, remember to come!"

Hou Liangping hung up the phone with a smile before Qi Tongwei could reply.

In Courtyard No. 3.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.

Clearly, this is another move by Sha Ruijin and his team. If they can't deal with Qi Tongwei, then they'll start by digging into the people around him.

They can gradually shift their focus to their ultimate target – Gao Yuliang!

"Tongwei, can you handle this?"

Gao Yuliang stared at Qi Tongwei and asked.

This was a life-or-death moment, and he could not afford to be careless.

Qi Tongwei's expression remained calm.

He nodded and said, "Hou Liangping is no match for me, and I believe Gao Xiaoqin will not betray me."

Gao Xiaoqin's feelings for Qi Tongwei can be described as extremely deep.

Even if it meant dying for Qi Tongwei, Gao Xiaoqin would probably be willing.

"Alright, then go and meet Hou Liangping."

"Remember, they definitely won't dare to attack you directly right now, so don't be nervous."

Qi Tongwei nodded, turned around, and went out.

He got into the car, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and let the smoke envelop him.

He understood that this was the cruelty of political struggle.

Any flaw could become a bullet fired by the enemy.

At this moment, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had listened to his younger brother's advice.

When Gao Xiaoqin said she had shares in his company, he firmly refused.

To be precise, he and Gao Xiaoqin had a romantic relationship. However, he was involved in the success of the Shanshui Group from its inception to the resolution of several crises.

Of course, to put it bluntly, they are just leveraging each other's strengths.

In essence, he wanted to connect with Zhao Lichun, the former Party Secretary, through Gao Xiaoqin.

In Sha Ruijin and Hou Liangping's words, having illicit sexual relationships was a very serious matter.

But in reality, it was just a pretext for political struggle.

Otherwise, no matter what the higher-ups do, they can't possibly protect him.

After calming down, Qi Tongwei drove off.
