Name: My father is Zhao Dehan, and I hope he will become a dragon!

At 11:00 AM, in the provincial party committee building.

Sha Ruijin slammed the two testimonies heavily on the table, his voice as cold as iron: "Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei must be isolated immediately. We cannot allow them any opportunity to collude. First, we will convene a meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and invite Gao Yuliang to attend!"

He turned to Li Dingguo and said, "Secondly, Chief Li, prepare the armed police special forces to take direct control of the Provincial Public Security Bureau at 2 PM and arrest Qi Tongwei."

"etc."

Zhao Dehan suddenly spoke up, his brows furrowed, "Secretary Sha, I suggest... we shouldn't use the armed police to arrest him."

Everyone was taken aback.

Zhao Dehan said in a deep voice, "Qi Tongwei is the Director of the Public Security Bureau. He is armed, has guards, and is familiar with counter-surveillance. If we force our way in, he might become desperate and resist arrest by firing his gun, injuring innocent people, or even committing suicide—the case would be dead without any evidence."

Li Dakang nodded: "Old Zhao is right."

He paused, then added, "Qi Tongwei is not Qi Tonghai. He is a provincial-level official with the power to deploy police forces throughout the province. It's hard to say whether he has any weapons at his disposal. A direct confrontation would be too risky."

Tian Guofu also frowned: "Moreover, if he 'dies accidentally' during the arrest, Gao Yuliang could use it as an excuse to accuse us of political persecution."

Sha Ruijin paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Zhao Dehan: "Do you have a plan?"

"have."

Zhao Dehua said confidently, "Three days ago, Yantai City cracked a cross-provincial murder case, and the main culprit was arrested. Qi Tongwei led the team that handled it. Yantai City did a lot of publicity, giving Qi Tongwei a lot of positive publicity!"

"It seems Gao Yuliang has given his good disciple quite a bit of advice!" Sha Ruijin was a shrewd man, how could he not know the ins and outs of this?

Previously, he had sidelined Qi Tongwei, allowing Zhao Donglai to gradually replace Qi Tongwei's power.

Qi Tongwei's approach was to maximize his influence as much as possible.

Solve cases yourself, care about the people, and accumulate more reputation. With such a good reputation, you can't very well continue to undermine our Director Qi, can you?

It was definitely not Qi Tongwei's own idea; Gao Yuliang was behind it all.

Zhao Dehan smiled slightly: "Let's use this case to ask him to 'share his experience'."

A glint of light flashed in Sha Ruijin's eyes.

Zhao Dehan continued, "Have Comrade Li Dakang, on behalf of the provincial government, notify Qi Tongwei to attend the 'Provincial Criminal Investigation Work Promotion Meeting' at the Provincial Public Security Department's small auditorium at 3 PM this afternoon, where he will give a presentation on the experience of handling the Yantai case."

"Zhao Donglai presiding over the meeting—it is perfectly legitimate."

"After he sat on the podium, people from the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Procuratorate entered through a side door and announced the detention decision on the spot."

"He thought he was making a comeback, but in reality he was walking into a cage."

"wonderful!"

Li Dakang clapped his hands: "He's been sidelined lately, even the Economic Crime Investigation Department has been handed over, and he's been holding his breath. He won't doubt this signal of 'reinstatement'!"

Sha Ruijin nodded slowly: "Okay. Let's do it that way."

At this moment, Sha Ruijin had to admit that Zhao Dehan's method was much better than his own.

In the original novel, Sha Ruijin's methods were somewhat crude.

Actually, the best way to deal with Qi Tongwei is to hold a meeting.

Unbeknownst to anyone

This ensures that Qi Tongwei will not discover anything during the process.

The meeting was held, especially to send a signal that Qi Tongwei was about to return to his peak.

As long as this signal is released.

"I guarantee it," Qi Tongwei said, and came running over eagerly.

Losing power is the most painful thing.

Naturally, they would do everything in their power to regain it.

Even now, Qi Tongwei is still single-mindedly focused on solving major cases.

The original story suggests that the author was forced into a corner.

Sha Ruijin picked up the phone and dialed Gao Yuliang's office: "Secretary Yuliang? It's me, Sha Ruijin!"

Gao Yuliang asked, "Secretary Sha, is there anything I haven't instructed you to do?"

Sha Ruijin smiled slightly and slowly said, "It's like this, I'd like to hold a meeting later, mainly to discuss the issue of cadre appointment. Please make sure you attend."

Gao Yuliang's voice was relaxed: "Okay! A lot has indeed happened recently, and we need to hold a meeting to discuss it!"

After hanging up the phone, Sha Ruijin said to Li Dakang, "Call Brother Zhao Donglai and have him inform Qi Tongwei to attend the meeting!"

Li Dakang nodded: "Understood!"

At 12:40 PM, in the office of the Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department.

Zhao Donglai dialed Qi Tongwei's number and said politely, "Director Qi, congratulations!"

Qi Tongwei was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed: "Congratulations on what?"

Zhao Donglai said with a smile, "You handled the Yantai case well; Secretary Sha specifically praised you!"

Qi Tongwei's smile stretched from ear to ear: "Really?"

Zhao Donglai nodded and said, "Yes, we're holding a meeting now, and we'd like to invite you to personally share your case-handling experience. Secretary Li will chair the meeting!"

Qi Tongwei's breathing paused noticeably, and he swallowed hard.

A moment later, Qi Tongwei excitedly said, "...Okay, okay! I'll definitely be there on time!"

After hanging up the phone, he stood by the window, looking down at the empty parking lot—his official cars had all been reassigned since he was sidelined not long ago.

But today, he saw that road leading to the pinnacle of power again.

"Handong... I, Qi Tongwei, am coming back."

He muttered to himself, straightened his collar, and a long-lost light rekindled in his eyes.

The feeling of losing power is truly unbearable.

……

……

The small auditorium of the Provincial Public Security Bureau.

Sunlight streamed through the blinds, casting neat rows of light on the floor.

On the stage, microphones, water glasses, and name tags were all present—the words "Introduction of Comrade Qi Tongwei's Experience" were particularly eye-catching.

Qi Tongwei straightened his police uniform, looked at his face, and became somewhat agitated.

Qi Tongwei then arrived twenty minutes early to review his speech.

The humiliation of being ignored these past few days will finally be swept away today.

"Zhao Donglai personally invited me, and Li Dakang personally presided over the meeting..."

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and smiled slightly: "Sha Ruijin finally understands that Handong cannot do without Gao Yuliang, and even more so, it cannot do without me, Qi Tongwei."

He walked up to the podium and gently stroked his nameplate, as if touching the power he had lost and regained.

However, Qi Tongwei soon sensed that something was wrong.

The side door of the auditorium opened silently.

No applause, no flowers!

Four cadres in dark uniforms walked in steadily.

Two bailiffs from the prosecutor's office followed closely behind.

Qi Tongwei was stunned.

Zhao Donglai walked out from backstage and stood expressionless on the side of the stage, coldly looking at Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei's smile froze on his face: "Zhao Donglai... what... what's going on?"

The leading official from the provincial discipline inspection commission stepped forward, his voice clear and cold:

"Comrade Qi Tongwei, with the approval of the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has decided to file a case for investigation against you for suspected serious violations of discipline and law. In accordance with the relevant provisions of national laws, you are now placed under detention."

"What?!" Qi Tongwei was struck dumb, staggering back a step.
