A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

With these questions in mind, Qi Tongwei arrived at the door.

When I opened the door, it was Hao Xiuping.

Upon seeing Qi Tongwei, Hao Xiuping immediately began gesturing.

"May I come in?"

Qi Tongwei nodded and led Hao Xiuping into the room.

After Hao Xiuping arrived at the room, she sat on Qi Tongwei's bed.

Qi Tongwei noticed that Hao Xiuping seemed different from when he had met her before.

She seemed to have applied blush and had a light makeup look.

She was wearing a short skirt, and she also made a point of wearing black stockings and stiletto heels.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Liu Bingren Pleads Guilty

Looking at Hao Xiuping's attire, Qi Tongwei roughly guessed her purpose for coming.

"Hao Xiuping, what brings you here so late?"

Hao Xiuping gestured with her hands.

“I have a very hard life. My husband was arrested, and my daughter was in a car accident at the entrance of the village a while ago and is no longer here.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei frowned.

Has Hao Xiuping's daughter also passed away? This seems different from the original drama.

"Hao Xiuping, I know. Didn't we just say that I would do my best to help you?"

Hao Xiuping continued gesturing.

"So, I want to repay you!"

Seeing this, Qi Tongwei said, "It would be a lie to say you weren't tempted."

However, Qi Tongwei felt that if he accepted her repayment at this time, it would seem like he was taking advantage of her vulnerability.

“You don’t need to do that. It’s my job to help you with this case.”

Hao Xiuping shook her head.

"No, I mean it. I really want to repay you!"

As she spoke, Hao Xiuping pointed to herself.

"But I have nothing, only myself. Everyone says I'm pretty, I don't know if you like me."

Qi Tongwei glanced at Hao Xiuping's head and saw an entry: "[She is attracted to Qi Tongwei (purple)]".

What? Do I have some kind of special buff? Why would someone be attracted to me?

"Hao Xiuping, your husband is still inside. Isn't this inappropriate?"

Hao Xiuping looked at Qi Tongwei, appearing very anxious.

“No, the reason I got into trouble was because of my husband. I was with him before because of the children. Now I have nothing left, and I don’t want to be with him anymore. I’m seeking justice for my husband because he is truly innocent, not because he is my husband.”

As she spoke, Hao Xiuping pointed out the window again.

"Everyone in the village bullies me! After you leave, I'll continue to be bullied, and even if my husband gets out, our lives will be even harder. So, I'm going to divorce my husband. Please take me with you!"

Seeing Hao Xiuping's anxious expression, Qi Tongwei swallowed hard.

Hao Xiuping is right; you can save someone for a moment, but you can't save them forever.

Hao Xiuping has Zhao Liying's face, and now she's offering herself up on her own initiative. If you're not tempted, honestly, you'd be a fool.

"Hao Xiuping, are you really sure?"

Hao Xiuping's head was nodding frantically, like a rattle-drum.

Will you dislike me?

"I won't look down on you, but I can't marry you. However, I can take care of you forever. Would you be willing?"

Hao Xiuping nodded frantically.

“I’m willing! My past is completely ruined, I can’t stay here anymore.”

Qi Tongwei nodded silently, deciding that Hao Xiuping was right; they couldn't leave this poor woman here any longer.

Soon after, Han Ming and Jia Lianyu, who lived next door to Qi Tongwei, heard a loud shout.

Because of the poor conditions in Kangcun, the sound insulation is particularly bad.

Both of them looked extremely grim after hearing the voice.

Han Ming wondered, what was going on? Was that voice coming from Jiang Guangming or Lü Lingling?

The next morning, while everyone was having breakfast, they discovered that Qi Tongwei had brought Hao Xiuping with him.

Han Ming, sporting dark circles under his eyes, asked.

What's Hao Xiuping doing here?

Hearing Han Ming's words, Hao Xiuping lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

Qi Tongwei smiled and said.

"Hao Xiuping still has some information about the case to report to me. I will take her back to Jingzhou later."

Han Ming nodded after hearing Qi Tongwei's words.

Jiang Guangming, standing to the side, looked at Han Ming with great confusion.

"What happened to you? Why do you have such big dark circles under your eyes?"

Han Ming sighed deeply after hearing Jiang Guangming's words.

"The hotel's soundproofing is poor. I don't know which room it was, but it was extremely noisy at night. It started with just background noise, then it became the sound of bed legs hitting the floor, clanging and banging all night long..."

Upon hearing this, Hao Xiuping's face turned even redder.

However, Qi Tongwei, a seasoned veteran, remained completely calm and composed.

"I guess it's from another room. I didn't sleep a wink last night either."

After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, everyone nodded in unison, agreeing that they made sense.

However, no one present could have imagined that although Qi Tongwei hadn't slept all night, he and Hao Xiuping were the source and creators of the sound.

Qi Tongwei discovered that Hao Xiuping's "feeling attracted to Qi Tongwei (purple)" had changed to "depending on Qi Tongwei (gold)".

Qi Tongwei actually felt quite sorry for Hao Xiuping; she was a woman with no one to rely on and had married the wrong man.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei did not lie to Hao Xiuping, and he was prepared to genuinely help her.

At the same time, Qi Tongwei also noticed that the "Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom (Blue)" above his head had changed to "Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom (Purple)".

After breakfast, Qi Tongwei and the others went to Liu Bingren's house.

Liu Bingren had prepared himself to be eloquent and deny everything.

But upon seeing Qi Tongwei, he suddenly felt a sense of fear.

This is certainly due to the effectiveness of the [Interrogation Authority (Gold)].

Qi Tongwei did not stand on ceremony when he met Liu Bingren.

"Liu Bingren, I won't hide anything from you. Yesterday we found the murder weapon your son used. You'd better cooperate with us now, or you'll be in big trouble!"

Liu Bingren shuddered upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words.

"Found it? Where did you find it?"

"In the irrigation ditch north of Kang Village! Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bingren instantly wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

"Boss, I really don't know, I just..."

"You only helped Liu Wenjing destroy documents to persecute Hao Xiuping, and you may very well have caused the death of her daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bingren stood up nervously.

"Lead me..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Do you think the provincial procuratorate is joking with you? Do you think our staff are just here for a vacation? Like that knife, would I say such a thing without evidence?"

Qi Tongwei was obviously bluffing Liu Bingren, but he was betting that the authoritative golden words he had used during the interrogation would come in handy.

Sure enough, Liu Bingren suddenly went limp and sat down in a chair.

His face was deathly pale.

"I thought I had covered my tracks perfectly... I never imagined you guys would still find out..."

The group had originally only come to Liu Bingren's house to take a look, and had Qi Tongwei try to make contact with him.

Who would have thought that Qi Tongwei could get Liu Bingren to confess with just a few words?

Now, besides Wang Yongqiang's case, Qi Tongwei has easily solved a case within a case with just a few words.

Everyone present looked at Qi Tongwei in surprise.

Everyone has to admire Qi Tongwei; he's truly amazing!

Chapter Twenty-Six: I Criticize You on Behalf of the Leader

Before Qi Tongwei even returned to Jingzhou, people in Jingzhou were already in a state of panic.

Inside Chen Yanshi's office at the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.

He was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Just then, someone knocked on the door of Chen Yanshi's office.

"Please come in!"

With Chen Yanshi's call, Wang Yuhang entered Chen Yanshi's office with a smile.

Chen Yanshi looked at the grinning Wang Yuhang, his face turning extremely pale.

"Laugh, let's see how long you can keep laughing!"
