Title: Reborn in Handong, Starting with an Investment in Gao Yuliang

inside the car.

Qi Tongwei stared intently at the recording pen.

His chest heaved violently.

It was the kind of anger that comes from being stabbed in the back.

It is also a disgusting act of blaming a former classmate for their despicable behavior.

"Liang Cheng".

Qi Tongwei's voice was hoarse, carrying an intensely suppressed murderous aura.

"Since the evidence is conclusive, why not hand it over directly to the municipal bureau?"

"Once this recording and testimony are submitted, Hou Liangping's charge of false accusation and framing will be irrefutable."

"I'll make sure he rots in jail!"

"Senior, you need to broaden your horizons."

Liang Cheng turned his head to the side, his gaze deep and unfathomable, revealing a calm and collected demeanor that suggested he was in complete control.

"Killing Hou Liangping is too easy."

"It's just a buzzing fly. Swatting it will only get your hands dirty."

"Furthermore, you need to understand the current situation."

Public opinion has already started to rise.

"The Zhao family's online trolls are stirring up trouble."

"Everyone is saying you're a relative, that my Liang family is involved in bribery, and that this hiring was a favoritism recruitment."

"Bringing Hou Liangping out at this time, although it can prove that he made false accusations, in the eyes of the uninformed public, it looks more like we are using our privileges to retaliate against whistleblowers."

"They'll say, 'See? The Liang family's in a panic. They're even arresting the whistleblower. They're trying to cover this up.'"

Qi Tongwei was taken aback.

His clenched fist slowly loosened, and a layer of cold sweat seeped out from his back.

I was blinded by anger just now and didn't think that far ahead.

Political struggle.

It's never a simple black-and-white issue.

The current situation.

The Zhao family wants to drag the Liang family into this mess.

If the Liang family were to take action against Hou Liangping, it would only confirm their accusation of "abusing their power to bully others."

At this point, any verbal explanation is utterly futile.

"So... we're just going to put up with this?"

Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

The feeling of being condemned by everyone and having dirty water thrown at you, yet being unable to fight back, is worse than being killed.

"Tolerate?"

Liang Cheng smiled.

That smile carried an air of domineering arrogance and contempt for the Zhao family's petty tricks.

"The word 'tolerance' doesn't exist in my dictionary."

"I want them to offer their faces up willingly, and then I'll slap them back hard."

"Click".

Liang Cheng pressed the lighter, and a blue flame shot up, igniting the cigarette.

Amidst swirling smoke.

His eyes were sharp as knives.

"I've already discussed it with the old man."

"He will submit a proposal to the provincial party committee next."

"In order to test the comprehensive quality of newly recruited law enforcement officers across the province and build an ironclad force."

"A province-wide skills competition for the public security system will be held."

"Shooting, combat, reconnaissance, physical fitness, and live-fire drills."

"All subjects, all transparent."

"We might even invite Handong TV to broadcast the event live, and invite university faculty and students to observe on-site."

Qi Tongwei's pupils suddenly contracted.

Grand competition!

The entire province!

Live broadcast!

This is no ordinary martial arts competition.

This was clearly the grandest stage Liang Cheng had built for him alone.

It is also a huge arena.

"Didn't the Zhao family say you got in through connections?"

"Didn't Hou Liangping say in the post that you're unworthy of your position and a complete incompetent fool?"

"Then let the people of the whole province keep their eyes wide open and watch."

"Who is the real hero, and who is the rat who only hides in the gutter and shoots arrows in the dark!"

Liang Cheng slapped Qi Tongwei's shoulder hard.

The force was heavy.

Bearing immense expectations.

"Senior, this is an opportunity, but also a death order."

"I want you to crush all doubts under the spotlight and in the most extreme circumstances."

"I want you to come in first place."

"And it has to be a groundbreaking number one!"

"We'll leave the second-place car so far behind that they won't even see its taillights!"

"Is it possible?"

boom!

Qi Tongwei felt his blood instantly ignite.

It even made his scalp tingle.

This is more than just a game.

This is a pledge of allegiance!

It was the only cornerstone upon which he gained a foothold in Jingzhou.

All the humiliation, anger, and resentment.

At this moment, they found the only outlet for their emotions.

Qi Tongwei has no need to defend himself.

All he needs to do is show his fangs.

"able!"

Qi Tongwei suddenly straightened his back and roared.

The sound made the carriage vibrate.

His eyes were red-rimmed, yet they radiated an unprecedented determination.

"Liang Cheng, you gave me my life, you gave me my future."

"I've been holding this in for far too long."

"Starting today, I will go to the training base for special training."

"Practice until you drop dead."

"If I don't get first place, I, Qi Tongwei, will offer my head!"

"I will absolutely not bring shame to the Liang family, and I will absolutely not let the Zhao family laugh at me!"

Liang Cheng nodded in satisfaction.

He exhaled a smoke ring and looked at the lone wolf in front of him, which had been completely enraged.

"Go ahead, senior."

"Not just for yourself."

"It was also so that my father would have the strongest trump card with the provincial party committee."

"I want Zhao Lichun to know that he messed with the wrong person."

The car door opened.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qi Tongwei strode into the night.

......

The next three days.

A strange atmosphere descended upon Jingzhou.

Faced with a deluge of rumors about "radish recruitment".

Faced with veiled attacks online and in newspapers.

The Liang family, at the center of the storm, remained absolutely silent.

No lawyer's letter was issued.

There was no statement refuting the rumors.

Even Qi Tongwei, who was subjected to a barrage of criticism, has completely disappeared from the public eye.

He neither worked at the municipal bureau nor returned to school.

This unusual silence was quickly interpreted by those with ulterior motives as "guilt" and "acquiescence".

In a teahouse near the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Several middle-aged men in jackets were gathered together, puffing on cigarettes.

"See? That's called default."

A man with an oily face said in a low voice.

"The Liang family is definitely scared, and they're probably trying to figure out how to clean up their mess."

"That Qi Tongwei has probably been hidden away, and he'll probably slink away in a couple of days."

"This is what they mean by 'the will of the people cannot be defied'!"

"I heard that Director Wang of our municipal bureau personally reported the situation to the provincial party committee. What a good official!"

Similar remarks.

With the Zhao family's encouragement, the rumors spread like wildfire.

They even subtly pointed the finger at the provincial party committee's personnel system.

Many people who were originally neutral were also swayed by the narrative.

after all.

In this era.

People are more willing to believe in the existence of a "behind-the-scenes cover-up".

Some people even began to sympathize with Hou Liangping, who "dared to speak the truth."

......

Handong University.

Room 302, Girls' Dormitory.

A sense of righteous indignation permeated the air.

Several girls sat together, holding the day's newspaper, chattering away.

"That's too much! I never thought Senior Qi was this kind of person."

A girl with a ponytail angrily slammed her newspaper on the table.

"What senior? He's just a lackey of the Liang family."

Another short-haired girl chimed in, her face full of disdain.

"I heard that in order to get into the Municipal Bureau, he drove for Liang Cheng every day and even helped Liang Cheng handle those shady businesses."

"He even did things like washing Liang Cheng's car."

"If someone with no backbone becomes a police officer, how can ordinary people like us have a good life?"

"that is."

"Hey, Xiao Ai, why aren't you saying anything?"

The short-haired girl turned her head to look at Zhong Xiaoai, who was sitting by the window.

"Your family members are also government officials, do you think this is true?"

"Is the Liang family really so powerful that they can control everything?"
