Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

Upon hearing Li Guofu mention glutinous rice balls, Qi Tongwei's heart tightened, and he glanced at him.

He was naturally familiar with Xiao Tangyuan; it was Xiao Tangyuan who provided the clues that led to Jin Hu's conviction.

In his memory, Xiao Tangyuan was a boy, but Li Guofu said she was a girl...

This made him feel a little doubtful.

He hesitated for a moment, but didn't point out the problem. Instead, he asked in a deep voice.

"What happened to Xiao Tangyuan? Is she related to the Bailong River water diversion project?"

Li Guofu sighed and said with a wry smile.

"She has nothing to do with the water diversion project...she's Tang Xiancai's daughter..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei was completely stunned, his mouth agape, unsure of what to say.

Seeing that Qi Tongwei remained silent, Li Guofu quietly revealed the truth.

"After Tang Xiancai died, his wife couldn't bear the gossip and committed suicide..."

At the time, nobody knew what to do with the child... so I asked Jinhu to adopt her.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Tongwei suddenly stood up and shouted angrily.

"Li Guofu! You're a complete scoundrel! Is this how you do things?"

Did you know that Little Tangyuan almost died in a black coal mine...?

Li Guofu was taken aback by Qi Tongwei's scolding, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"I... I really meant well... I never expected Jin Hu to mistreat her..."

Qi Tongwei snorted coldly, pointed at Li Guofu, and said in a cold voice.

"Li Guofu, my trip here was completely unnecessary... You are utterly hopeless!"

After saying that, he ignored Li Guofu and turned to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, Li Guofu suddenly sprang up and grabbed his clothes.

But as soon as he made a move, the prison guard next to him also moved and slammed him onto the table.

"Li Guofu, what are you trying to do! Behave yourself... Don't forget who you are."

Seeing Li Guofu's face pressed against the metal table, Qi Tongwei said something to the prison guard.

"Young comrade, let him talk... let's see what other outrageous things he can say..."

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, the prison guard loosened his grip slightly, but still did not let go.

As soon as Li Guofu relaxed a little, he looked up at Qi Tongwei and said in a deep voice.

"Go to Tang Xiancai's house... go check Tang Xiancai's house, there might be some clues there..."

His voice sounded muffled, clearly indicating that he wasn't breathing smoothly.

Qi Tongwei glanced at him, frowned, and asked a question.

"Tang Xiancai's family? What do you mean...?"

Li Guofu adjusted his neck slightly, his voice trembling slightly.

"After his wife hanged herself, Tang Xiancai's house was sealed off and has remained untouched ever since..."

It's in the old dormitory of the Water Resources Bureau... Go take a look, maybe there's a clue...

Qi Tongwei stared at Li Guofu, and after a long silence, he slowly spoke.

"Li Guofu! If you still have any humanity... you should reflect on your actions."

You should think about what you actually did at Fuyuan... and what you left behind!

After saying this, he nodded to the prison guard, turned, and walked out of the visiting room...

After leaving the Dacheng prison, Qi Tongwei walked to the Santana and lit a cigarette.

He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, as if a lump of turbid air was blocking his throat.

Recalling the first time he met Xiao Tangyuan, his heart tightened and his nose tingled slightly.

Based on the clues we have so far, and combined with Li Guofu's behavior, we can make a judgment.

Qi Tongwei was certain that Tang Xiancai not only bore no responsibility, but also risked his life to eliminate the hidden dangers of the culvert.

Tang Xiancai discovered the hidden danger and took the initiative to enter the cave to investigate... It wouldn't be an exaggeration to posthumously award him the title of martyr.

Both parents died in the water diversion project, and Xiao Tangyuan nearly died in a coal mine...

Qi Tongwei felt that Fuyuan owed this child far too much.

Thinking of this, he sighed and asked Zharta beside him in a low voice.

"What happened to Xiao Tangyuan after she was discharged from the hospital? How is she now?"

Zarta had not participated in the visit, and was somewhat puzzled when Qi Tongwei suddenly brought it up.

He hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qi Tongwei, and said in a deep voice.

"After Xiaotangyuan was discharged from the hospital, she enrolled in school...and has been living with us, with Haili taking care of her..."

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, glanced at Zharta, and looked somewhat puzzled.

"Why is she staying at your house? And what's going on between you and Hailey...?"

Before he could finish asking, Zalta blushed and immediately spoke up.

"Hailey and I have already registered our marriage, but we haven't had time to have a wedding yet..."

As for Xiaotangyuan... she's a girl, and quite young, so it's inconvenient for her to stay in the dormitory...

Haili took her home and took care of her... Don't worry, Tangyuan is very well-behaved and is doing very well...

After hearing Zharta's explanation, Qi Tongwei immediately understood.

He nodded, gently patted Zharta on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hailey... From now on, Tangyuan's living expenses will be covered by the organization..."

After saying that, he paused slightly, and when he spoke again, his voice had returned to calm.

"Go back to the county first, find Tang Xiancai's old house, and have the police protect it..."

Zalta was taken aback by what he heard, and tentatively asked a question.

"Secretary Qi, aren't you going back?"

Qi Tongwei took a deep drag on his cigarette, crushed the butt, and said in a low voice.

"Take me to the city hall first... I have some things to take care of... You can drive the car back first..."

......

Zharta dropped Qi Tongwei off at the municipal government and then drove back to the county with the driver.

Qi Tongwei, on his own, found Baimaiti, who was stationed at the municipal government.

Baimaiti was quite surprised to see Qi Tongwei.

"Why did you come to the city? What's wrong? Don't you trust me? Afraid I can't get the funds..."

I was just about to call you and tell you the good news...

Qi Tongwei grinned, revealing a wry smile, and asked softly.

"Has the funding for Bailong River been secured? Has it been approved from above?"

Baimaiti raised an eyebrow at him and said with a smile.

"Hey, don't think you're the only one who can run funds... your brother Bai is just as good..."

He paused slightly, lowered his voice a few decibels, but still smiled.

"Fuyuan was lucky... The Standing Committee meeting went smoothly, and they approved 300 million in one go..."

Seeing Qi Tongwei's furrowed brows and lack of joy on his face, he sensed that something was wrong.

He stopped smiling, frowned, and asked in a deep voice.

"Tongwei, has something happened in the county?"

Qi Tongwei didn't respond, but reached out and pulled him aside, lowering his voice to say something.

"Come on, let's find somewhere secluded to talk..."

Qi Tongwei found an empty meeting room and they went in one after the other.

Upon entering the house, Qi Tongwei locked the door, causing Baimaiti to frown.

Seeing that there were only two people in the room, Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette for Baimaiti and said in a deep voice.

"I just went to see Li Guofu..."

Baimaiti was taken aback, glanced at Qi Tongwei, and subconsciously asked a question.

"What are you looking at that coward for..."

Qi Tongwei snorted coldly and recounted the events of the past two days to him.

After listening to Qi Tongwei's account, Baimaiti slammed his fist on the table and shouted angrily.

"Outrageous! Utterly outrageous!"

First, there was the August 13th incident... They even dared to cut corners on the water diversion project... It wouldn't be an exaggeration to execute them...

He took two deep drags on his cigarette, calmed down slightly, and said in a low voice.

"This matter must be reported to the Discipline Inspection Commission immediately... so that they can reinvestigate and re-sentence the suspect..."

Qi Tongwei, on the other hand, was much more composed. He glanced at Baimaiti and gave him a soft reminder.

"Keep your voice down... This is something only you and I know about right now... We can't let this get out of the loop, it has to be kept secret..."

Baimaiti glared at Qi Tongwei and asked in a deep voice.

"No feedback? Tang Xiancai and his wife died for nothing? Little Tangyuan suffered for nothing?"

"So much money was invested in the Bailong culvert, was it all for nothing?"

He asked three questions in a row, raising his voice by one point with each question.

In the end, it almost came out as a question.

Qi Tongwei wasn't annoyed. He gently patted his shoulder and replied softly.

"Retribution may be delayed, but it will come... Fuyuan will not let them off the hook, and neither will Party discipline or the law..."

However, this matter is too complicated and involves too many people. I would like to report to Secretary Wang first...

Baimaiti was taken aback, frowned slightly, and lowered his voice considerably.

"You think...it will involve him?"

Qi Tongwei didn't speak, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and slowly nodded...
