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

Back at the county government, Qi Tongwei didn't go to see Qin Xuefeng; instead, he went back to his office.

He quickly sat down in the chair, took out a piece of paper, and began writing a case briefing on the illegal gun manufacturing den.

He picked up his pen, pondered for a moment, and solemnly wrote the first line on the manuscript paper.

"Recently, suspicious information was discovered during the community-based social management work..."

He wrote very quickly; in less than fifteen minutes, he had finished a dry case briefing.

After quickly checking and finding no typos, he immediately headed to Qin Xuefeng's office.

This briefing was poorly written; in fact, it was rather dull and uninteresting.

He simply described the circumstances of the case, the criminals' motives, and the modus operandi.

The results of the handling of Leishan were briefly summarized, resembling a mere account of events.

Normally, Qi Tongwei would never have been able to write such a document.

The reason he wrote it was all for those six words at the beginning: "comprehensive social management and grid governance".

You could say he made a whole plate of dumplings just for a dish of vinegar.

Unfortunately, according to organizational procedures, Qin Xuefeng should report to the municipal party committee.

The core content of Qin Xuefeng's report must be the "gun manufacturing den case" itself.

This report is standard and there are no problems.

However, this fails to highlight the importance and value of "comprehensive social security grid governance".

Qi Tongwei didn't care; his grades were good enough.

But Wang Quanyou is different; this year is a crucial period for him, and he can't afford to miss any opportunity.

The comprehensive governance network has proven effective, successfully cracking down on an illegal gun manufacturing den.

Such outstanding results will undoubtedly give Wang Quanyou a greater chance of making progress.

However, as the deputy county head, Qi Tongwei couldn't bring himself to be upfront with Qin Xuefeng.

Thus, this dry case briefing was born.

As for whether Qin Xuefeng can grasp the essence of it, that depends entirely on fate and his comprehension.

When they arrived at Qin Xuefeng's office, the door was ajar.

Qin Xuefeng indeed did not have it; he was also waiting for the results of the interrogation.

He wouldn't feel at ease until he got a confession from such a big case.

Qi Tongwei knocked on the door and walked straight in without waiting for Qin Xuefeng to speak.

He placed the case briefing in front of Qin Xuefeng and spoke softly.

"Secretary Qin, we have results. We were lucky; we busted a gun manufacturing den."

"I've prepared a brief case report; please take a look..."

Qin Xuefeng was taken aback, but didn't say anything. He picked up the briefing and started reading.

The briefing was short, just a briefing, which made Qin Xuefeng frown.

After reading the briefing, he blinked but didn't say anything.

He had been working with Qi Tongwei for almost half a year and had reviewed the materials written by Qi Tongwei dozens of times.

While Qi Tongwei's materials may not be considered brilliantly written, they are well-organized and clearly prioritize key points.

But this briefing was quite different, clearly falling short of expectations.

Even the core content of the briefing wasn't highlighted.

His fingers tapped lightly on the briefing, then he suddenly paused.

Qin Xuefeng hesitated for a moment, then picked up the briefing again and read it through.

After reviewing the briefing again, he gave Qi Tongwei a deep look and asked softly.

"Report directly to Secretary Wang?"

Qi Tongwei hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"The situation is indeed serious enough, but the procedures still need to be followed."

"I suggest we report to the Municipal Party Committee Office first and sound them out... after all, there's also the Public Security Bureau involved."

Qin Xuefeng nodded, picked up the phone, and dialed Baimaiti's number.

Once the call connected, Qin Xuefeng didn't stand on ceremony and quickly explained the situation.

After explaining the situation, he paused slightly and tentatively asked a question.

"Director Bai, do you think I should report to Secretary Wang, or would you like to speak with the secretary first?"

On the other end of the phone, Baimaiti answered almost without hesitation.

"Secretary Qin, please wait a moment, I will report to Secretary Wang right away."

"I'll call you in five minutes..."

After saying that, he lowered his voice slightly and added another sentence.

"This situation must not be allowed to spread; it must remain within Leishan County!"

Qin Xuefeng was taken aback, then immediately replied in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, it's under the personal supervision of County Chief Qi, and the situation is under control."

After the call ended, Qi Tongwei spoke first, before Qin Xuefeng could say anything.

"Secretary, I'll write another briefing to report to the higher-ups. I reckon they'll need it."

Qin Xuefeng nodded, gave Qi Tongwei a deep look, and waved.

"Go ahead. I will report the truth to Secretary Wang in a little while."

Hearing Qin Xuefeng emphasize the word "truthfully," Qi Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Qin Xuefeng had understood the briefing he had painstakingly written.

To be fair, in the half year since they arrived in Leishan, Qi Tongwei and Qin Xuefeng had had some minor disagreements.

However, the two have always worked together very well on important matters.

It wasn't because Qin Xuefeng was particularly enlightened, nor because Qi Tongwei was exceptionally domineering.

This is entirely because Qi Tongwei always adheres to one principle in important matters: political correctness.

Qin Xuefeng also realized this.

Therefore, when faced with matters of principle, he would always think about the meaning behind Qi Tongwei's actions.

Just as Qi Tongwei had predicted.

Five minutes later, Baimaiti relayed Secretary Wang's instructions to Qin Xuefeng and reported immediately.

The rest was much simpler. That very evening, the two reported the case to the municipal party committee.

Qin Xuefeng gave a telephone report, while Qi Tongwei faxed the newly written briefing to Baimaiti.

To Qi Tongwei's surprise, after the report, the matter seemed to have never happened, and there was no further development.

For two consecutive days, the municipal party committee did not make a single phone call, let alone issue any documents or instructions.

These past two days, Qi Tongwei has been extremely worried, and even the usually mature and steady Qin Xuefeng couldn't sit still anymore.

I can't help but worry, even though the situation has been reported and the case has been handled fairly efficiently.

If there's no further news from above, the case has to stay in Leishan for another day.

Qi Tongwei had even begun to make plans.

Should we let Liu Yuntian inadvertently let slip some information to the police?

But after some thought, he rejected the idea.

In politics, opportunists are the least popular, and being indecisive is a major taboo.

On the third day, there was finally some movement from above.

Two days of silence left Qi Tongwei and Lei Shan feeling incredibly frustrated!

Just as Qi Tongwei was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch, the phone on his desk rang.

Qi Tongwei picked up the phone and said lazily.

"I am Qi Tongwei."

Laughter rang out from the other end of the phone, and Baimaiti's voice came through.

"County Chief Qi, Secretary Wang said he misses you and wants to come to the county to see you."

Qi Tongwei was taken aback and quickly pressed for an answer.

"Brother Bai, don't joke around. Is Secretary Wang really coming down? When will he arrive?"

Baimaiti replied with a smile.

"How could I lie to you about this... You should come to the construction site of the Leishan Highway right away."

"The Party Secretary has arrived!"

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, and couldn't help but grin.

What is Wang Quanyou up to? Is he launching a surprise attack, like an undercover investigation?
