A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Holy crap, so there's a reason why these are called battles.

This is incredible! After countless battles, he actually managed to turn a red entry into gold.

However, what puzzled Qi Tongwei was that the entry for "a hundred flowers blooming" was still purple.

Qi Tongwei couldn't help but mutter.

"How exactly do I upgrade to a red keyword?"

The next day, Qi Tongwei arrived at the procuratorate in high spirits.

As for Jiang Guangming, I heard that he took a day off to rest at home because of a leg ailment and feeling unwell.

When Wang Yuhang saw Qi Tongwei, he broke into a rare smile.

"Director Qi, could you come here for a moment? I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

Chapter Thirty: It only works when drunk.

Qi Tongwei is now the deputy director of the First Procuratorial Department, which is considered a mid-level cadre in the procuratorate.

He now has his own office, just like Wang Yuhang.

The only difference is that every morning, Lü Lingling would go to Qi Tongwei's office and open it immediately.

Help Qi Tongwei wipe the table and also fetch water for him.

Moreover, she would often come over to help Qi Tongwei water the flowers and so on.

In short, Qi Tongwei no longer had to sit in that big house with people he didn't like.

After arriving at Wang Yuhang's room, Wang Yuhang smiled.

"Director Qi, actually, I really admire you after you were commended last time!"

Looking at Wang Yuhang in front of him, Qi Tongwei didn't offer any extra smiles.

His face showed no expression.

What do you want from me?

"It's like this, in the Second Prosecution Department, Director Tong Tao has a rather tricky case. When I heard that, I thought, 'This case is so difficult, whoever solves it would be a great achievement!' So, I thought I'd try to get it for you, Director Qi!"

"What case?"

"You need to contact Director Tong to discuss the specifics of the case. By the way, this case is extremely important. The chief prosecutor hopes you can make a firm commitment to close the case within three days!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei immediately understood what Wang Yuhang was up to.

"The Chief Prosecutor? Chief Prosecutor Zhang Lianjun?"

Qi Tongwei knew, of course, that the chief prosecutor Wang Yuhang was referring to was none other than his master, Chen Yanshi.

Wang Yuhang smiled.

"No, it's Chief Prosecutor Chen Yanshi."

"Okay! Three days!"

After speaking, Qi Tongwei did not give Wang Yuhang another chance to speak, but turned and left Wang Yuhang's office.

A little while later, Qi Tongwei arrived at Tong Tao's office in the Second Procuratorial Department.

Tong Tao was not enthusiastic when he saw Qi Tongwei.

He believed that Qi Tongwei was in cahoots with Wang Yuhang to steal cases from his department.

He felt that Qi Tongwei was an ambitious person who liked to find jobs that leaders could see so that he could be promoted sooner.

"Director Qi, this case is very complicated. I don't think three days is enough."

"Whether it's enough or not isn't up to me to decide. Chief Prosecutor Chen Yanshi has already set a deadline, hasn't he?"

Qi Tongwei's meaning was very clear, it was exactly what it sounded like: Chen Yanshi was forcing him to close the case within 3 days.

However, in Tong Tao's eyes, Qi Tongwei wanted to use Chen Yanshi to pressure him, deliberately creating a three-day gimmick, and then hastily closing the case and letting the real culprit go.

"These are case files."

As he spoke, Tong Tao pushed all the documents in front of him toward Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei opened the case file and saw that it was indeed Lin Mengmeng's case.

In the original series, Lin Mengmeng was played by Deng Jiajia, who played the role of Auntie in "iPartment".

Actually, when Qi Tongwei entered Tong Tao's office and saw Tong Tao's celebrity-like face...

I knew then what kind of case this was.

"Okay, I see."

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei picked up the case files from Tong Tao's desk and prepared to leave.

Upon seeing Qi Tongwei's reaction, Tong Tao suddenly stood up.

"Qi Tongwei, aren't you going to let me explain the situation of the case?"

"I have the case files; I can review them myself."

"Qi Tongwei, this case concerns a girl's future. You don't want to be careless and close the case like before, just by gathering some random pieces of evidence, do you?"

"Director Tong, what do you mean? Are you saying that all my previous cases were wrongful convictions?"

"I didn't dare to think so before, but your attitude towards the case now makes me wonder how you solved those mysterious cases before!"

"Director Tong, since I have the ability to get Chief Prosecutor Zhang Lianjun to praise me at a plenary meeting of the entire procuratorate, I must have some extraordinary abilities. However, Director Tong, you also know that these are personal skills, one's livelihood. I understand that you don't have this ability, but I will not share my case-handling experience with you!"

After saying that, Qi Tongwei smiled confidently and then left Tong Tao's office.

Tong Tao stood there, his eyes wide open.

He simply couldn't believe what he had just heard.

In Tong Tao's eyes, Qi Tongwei was arrogant and rampant, relying on his connections to create a political image for himself.

They fabricate false cases and miscarriages of justice to deliberately deceive the public.

When Qi Tongwei returned to his office, he found Gao Lingling sitting at his desk, eating breakfast.

Upon seeing Qi Tongwei, Gao Lingling quickly pushed a plate of wontons and steamed buns towards him.

"Eat it while it's hot!"

Qi Tongwei watched Gao Lingling wolfing down her breakfast in her room.

He said with a smile.

"Do you know what people in our department are saying about us?"

How do I send it?

"Everyone says that we two are always indoors, so we must not be doing anything good."

"Who is it?! Who has such a foul mouth?!"

"That's not the point. The point is, I think we should do what they're talking about."

Although Qi Tongwei was a veteran with extensive experience, he was not a seasoned fighter.

However, Gao Lingling is indeed a rare and exceptional war goddess.

Previously, when the phrase "Qi Tongwei is strong and healthy" was in red, no one could withstand Qi Tongwei's offensive.

Besides, I am now golden.

However, Gao Lingling was an exception. She seemed to be particularly good at fighting and helped Qi Tongwei unlock various moves he had never seen before.

It was even more intense and novel than what was described in those study materials.

As Qi Tongwei spoke, he prepared to review the battle situation with Gao Lingling.

However, Gao Lingling suddenly stood up.

"Tongwei, what are you doing? No matter how good our relationship is, we can't cross the line! If you didn't have a girlfriend, that would be fine, but now that you have one, there's absolutely no way we can be together!"

As Gao Lingling spoke, she stood up warily.

Qi Tongwei could sense that Gao Lingling wasn't joking or playing hard to get.

She was genuinely refusing.

Qi Tongwei looked at the sign on Gao Lingling's head with disappointment: "[Lu Lingling's Secret After Drinking (Gold)]".

Sure enough, not drinking is not an option.

With that thought in mind, Qi Tongwei put the case file on the table and then turned to leave.

Gao Lingling looked at the thick stack of files on the table with some surprise.

What is this?

Qi Tongwei said as he opened the door to leave.

"Give me my new case, and I have three days to close it!"

"Huh?! Then how did you still have time to walk out?!"

Qi Tongwei wanted to say, "I don't want to either, but it's your problem that I can't not drink."

"I'm going to see Hao Xiuping. I haven't really visited her since I came to Jingzhou!"

Chapter Thirty-One: The Murderer is Lin Mengmeng

Upon hearing Hao Xiuping's name, Lü Lingling's eyes widened.

"What? Is she still in Jingzhou?"

However, Qi Tongwei did not answer Lü Lingling's question.

Because he had already turned and left the office.

Inside the hotel room, Hao Xiuping, dressed in pajamas, sat on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed.

Qi Tongwei also wrapped himself in a bath towel and walked out of the bathroom.

When Hao Xiuping saw Qi Tongwei, she gestured with her hands.

"I haven't seen you in so long, is something wrong? Have I caused you any inconvenience?"
