Nominal: My senior brothers are all big shots

Seeing that Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu's relationship wasn't as bad as in the original novel, Lin Feng smiled. It was worth it for him to start working on Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu's mindset after they got married; the results were remarkable.

Although Lin Feng didn't actually like Liang Lu, there was nothing he could do; it was a fait accompli. Even if Qi Tongwei had no feelings for Liang Lu, he still had to put on a good show.

In his previous life, Lin Feng admired Qi Tongwei greatly after reading the original novel. He also saw his own reflection in Qi Tongwei when he was a child. However, Lin Feng did not have Qi Tongwei's courage back then, and he also felt sorry for Qi Tongwei's ending.

Since fate has allowed him to transmigrate into the world of "The Name of the King" and become Qi Tongwei's cousin, he should at least help Qi Tongwei change his suicidal fate, since Qi Tongwei helped Lin Feng a lot when he was a child.

At the dinner table, Liang Lu poured wine for the two of them.

"Come on, let's drink to our reunion as brothers." Qi Tongwei raised his glass, said, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Feng also raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp.

The two of them drank one cup after another.

"You guys should eat some food!" Liang Lu urged from the side.

"Yes, come on, come on, Xiao Feng, have some food first." Qi Tongwei put down his wine glass and beckoned to Lin Feng.

"Xiao Feng, what are your plans for coming back this time?" Liang Lu asked.

"Sister-in-law, I haven't made up my mind yet. I plan to settle down first, and then go back to Qijia Village to take a look." Lin Feng's main purpose in returning this time was to deal with Qi Tongwei's matter. He couldn't let him repeat the same mistake and commit suicide by shooting himself like in the original story.

"Okay, we really should go back and take a look." Liang Lu nodded and then wanted to say something more.

"Come on, let's drink." Qi Tongwei interrupted Liang Lu.

"This isn't satisfying to drink, let's switch to a larger cup." Lin Feng was probably in a good mood because he hadn't seen Qi Tongwei in a long time, so he ignored Liang Lu's presence and directly suggested switching to a larger cup.

"Okay, wife, go get the large glass." Qi Tongwei instructed Liang Lu.

"You guys should drink less," Liang Lu said helplessly as she stood up.

"It's nothing, I'm just happy today," Qi Tongwei laughed heartily.

The two clinked their glasses together loudly. "Drink!" Mao Zi poured it straight into his mouth as if it were free.

Liang Lu was dumbfounded. This wasn't drinking alcohol; even water wasn't drunk like this. She was filled with worry.

"Hahaha, that's... awesome!"

"Two more bottles, please!"

Before long, both boxes of taro were finished. Liang Lu looked at the untouched dishes on the table and was almost speechless.

"bump"

"bump"

Two heavy thuds were heard, and the two men immediately collapsed to the ground and fell fast asleep.

Liang Lu was furious, but then she suddenly laughed, her feelings quite complicated as she looked at the two of them.

Liang Lu knew that Qi Tongwei's attitude towards her had changed for the better, all because of this Lin Feng. Although they had only met once, Liang Lu was still grateful from the bottom of her heart. That's why she personally cooked for Lin Feng today to express her gratitude.

The next day, Lin Feng stretched, got out of bed, opened the door and went out. Liang Lu was busy in the kitchen, and Qi Tongwei was already eating breakfast in the dining room.

"Xiao Feng, why don't you sleep a little longer? Go wash up and have breakfast. I didn't wake you up this morning because you drank so much last night," Liang Lu said with a smile.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, I'm not going to sleep. I have things to do today. I'm going to take a shower first." Lin Feng said and turned to go to the bathroom.

A moment later, Lin Feng came out. Compared to his disheveled appearance yesterday, he looked much more normal after taking a shower. His wet buzz cut gave him a special kind of energy. He was wearing jeans and a white t-shirt. His bronze skin had a metallic sheen, and his not-so-strong body concealed a terrifying power.

Lin Feng walked to the dining table, sat down, picked up a steamed bun and fried dough stick from his bowl, took a bite, and then asked Qi Tongwei, "What are your plans for today?"

Qi Tongwei swallowed the bun in his mouth and said, "Today I'll take you to see a house first, then we'll go back to the hall. Tonight we have to go to the Provincial Party Committee to report on the province's safety work."

"You're reporting to your teacher, Professor Gao, right? You have things to do, so don't worry about me. I can find a place to live myself." Lin Feng knew that Qi Tongwei was very busy as the director of the Provincial Public Security Department. He had already turned down a lot of work to come pick him up from the airport yesterday, so it wouldn't be good to trouble him again today.

"It's alright, I've already found a place. I'll take you to see it; it won't take much time," Qi Tongwei said.

After having breakfast, the two went out.

In the car, Lin Feng spoke first. "Old Qi, you told me on the phone last time that you were planning to become the deputy governor, how's it going?"

"It's already on the recommended list, it should be soon." Qi Tongwei smiled as soon as he thought about making further progress.

"I don't think this is that simple. I heard that you, Teacher Gao, couldn't make any further progress this time?" Lin Feng poured cold water on Qi Tongwei's smile.

"Yes, the new provincial party secretary was directly appointed by the central government." Qi Tongwei stopped smiling and frowned as he thought about this.

"Logically speaking, Zhao Lichun recommended your teacher to higher authorities, so there's no reason for him to reassign people! I think your new provincial party secretary might have ulterior motives; it's very likely that he was given a task by higher-ups," Lin Feng analyzed.

"You mean..." Qi Tongwei stared at Lin Feng in surprise.

"I've received word that the higher-ups might be planning to purge the Zhao family." Lin Feng took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to Qi Tongwei, and then lit it and took a puff himself.

"Hiss, is the news accurate?" Qi Tongwei was startled, but then thought it was impossible. If there was going to be a purge, why let Zhao Lichun take another step? Why not just let him retire early or even retire directly? After all, if he took another step, he would be a leader, which would be a completely different matter.

"Whether the information is accurate or not is not important. What's important is that you prepare for the worst," Lin Feng said, flicking his cigarette ash.

"Xiao Feng, but it's not that simple to sever ties with the Zhao family now. I'm deeply involved with them," Qi Tongwei sighed.

Lin Feng knew that it was unrealistic to completely sever ties now, so he smiled and said, "I think this could be an opportunity for you."

"What opportunity?" Qi Tongwei asked hurriedly.

"If you and your teacher can help the Zhao family weather this purge, then Zhao Lichun will likely be able to advance further in the future. At that time, you will be Zhao Lichun's most trusted team, and you will also advance further," Lin Feng analyzed.

"Risk and opportunity go hand in hand. I'll take the gamble. If the Zhao family is purged, my fate won't be much better. I, Qi Tongwei, have come this far from that small mountain village through sheer hard work. Every step I've taken has been arduous, and this time I can do the same." Qi Tongwei said with a determined look in his eyes.

"Hahaha, this is my Hall Master Qi, a man determined to outwit fate!" Lin Feng laughed heartily.

"After I finish reporting my work to my teacher tonight, I will share your analysis with him. I need his support," Qi Tongwei said after thinking for a while.

"Yes, we need to report this to your teacher. With his support, many things will be much easier," Lin Feng nodded.
