A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Lü Lingling's eyes widened.

"What?! Then, Tongwei, what are you going to do?"

Qi Tongwei smiled.

"Follow official procedures!"

"But Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng, those two sisters, are still sleeping in the hotel..."

Qi Tongwei looked at Lü Lingling, whose face was deathly pale.

"What's there to be afraid of? Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng aren't Gao Qiqiang's private creations, and I don't owe Gao Qiqiang anything."

After he finished speaking, Qi Tongwei addressed the people inside the room in a loud voice.

"I have received several letters of complaint from local residents, all bearing their real names. Please verify them one by one immediately!"

After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, everyone responded in unison.

"Yes, Director Qi!"

Gao Qiqiang was at home at the time, brewing goji berries in a thermos.

At this moment, Gao Qisheng stood behind Gao Qiqiang.

"Brother, I heard that Huang Yao wrote another letter to the procuratorate!"

"Give it to the prosecutor's office?"

"Yes, she handed the letter to Director Qi, who came down from the province."

Upon hearing this, Gao Qiqiang smiled.

"Don't be afraid! This Director Qi took the two sisters, Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng, away last night. What are you afraid of!"

As he spoke, Gao Qiqiang smiled and patted Gao Qisheng on the shoulder.

Just then, Gao Qiqiang's phone rang.

The caller was Zhao Lidong's secretary.

"Hello? Secretary Wang!"

"Gao Qiqiang, are you still in Jinghai?"

"I'm here, what's up, haha."

"What's wrong? Do you know that the Handong Provincial Procuratorate has sent an inspection team down?"

"I know, I even had dinner with Director Qi from the inspection team last night!"

"What? You had dinner with the inspection team last night?"

Chapter 40 The Great Earthquake in Jinghai

Gao Qiqiang held his phone, a smug look on his face.

"Yes, Director Qi is very easy to talk to and very approachable! We had a very pleasant chat last night!"

"Gao Qiqiang, I don't know what you're talking about! Let me tell you, I've heard that Director Qi has already sent people to arrest the mayor!"

"What?! How is that possible? Director Qi, he..."

"The mayor is trying to figure something out. If you can escape, leave Jinghai as soon as possible!"

"Director Qi is only a division chief. His main task this time is to inspect the work of the procuratorial system. How could he possibly arrest the mayor?"

"Have you forgotten that there's also an anti-corruption bureau under the procuratorate? I heard that Director Qi verified the report immediately after receiving it, and then reported it directly to Zhang Lianjun, the chief procurator of the provincial procuratorate... Anyway, you'd better run!"

After he finished speaking, Zhao Lidong's secretary hung up the phone.

Gao Qiqiang listened to the dial tone on his phone, looking completely bewildered.

Upon seeing this, Gao Qisheng quickly stepped forward.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Quickly contact Xiaolong and see how things are going on his end!"

After hearing Gao Qiqiang's words, Gao Qisheng nodded.

He quickly took out his phone.

"Brother, I can't get through to Xiaolong on the phone..."

As Gao Qisheng spoke, he also tried it out.

Gao Qiqiang suddenly felt his head go blank, as if he had been hit on the head with a stick.

"How is that possible? Could the news be true?"

Gao Qisheng looked at his brother with a puzzled expression.

"Brother, what happened?"

Gao Qiqiang immediately took out his phone, ready to dial Qi Tongwei's number.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

At this moment, inside the office of the Jinghai Municipal Procuratorate.

Qi Tongwei and others were diligently organizing the case files.

At that moment, a young comrade suddenly walked in.

"Director Qi, we have taken the relevant personnel into custody as you instructed."

Qi Tongwei nodded.

Then, the man said something else.

"Director Qi, after Gao Qiqiang was arrested, he kept insisting on seeing you. He seemed very anxious."

Qi Tongwei nodded again.

"I see."

On the other side of Jinghai City, Gao Yuliang was sitting in his office.

I turned on the TV and saw that the local television station in Jinghai City was broadcasting my speech.

As Gao Yuliang watched, his face was filled with smugness.

Just then, Gao Yuliang's secretary suddenly pushed the door open and came in.

"Secretary Yuliang, something terrible has happened!"

Gao Yuliang looked at his flustered secretary and adjusted his glasses.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you know you should knock first?"

"Yes, Secretary Yuliang, it's really urgent. I heard that Mayor Zhao Lidong has been arrested. Also, General Manager Gao from Qiangsheng Group has been detained!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang, who had been calm and expressionless, suddenly stood up.

"What? Where did you get this information?"

"I just saw Mayor Zhao Lidong being taken away with my own eyes!"

"How could this be? Who did it?"

"I heard it was an inspection team from the procuratorate."

"Qi Tongwei?"

"Yes, Secretary Yuliang, it was Director Qi who did it."

"How can Qi Tongwei have such power?"

"It seems that he consulted with a high-ranking leader in the province, and the leader gave instructions."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang sat down in his chair, his face turning ashen.

Last night, he even brought Gao Qiqiang to welcome Qi Tongwei. Not only did Qi Tongwei come, but he also accepted the benefits offered by Gao Qiqiang.

How could he just turn around and arrest all these people?

Gao Yuliang took a deep breath, realizing that he was becoming increasingly unfamiliar with his student.

"Have you heard anything, anything about me?"

"Secretary Yuliang, we haven't heard anything about us yet."

Gao Yuliang's face turned pale; he didn't think Qi Tongwei would let him off the hook.

With that thought in mind, he picked up the phone.

"Hello, is this Prosecutor Chen?"

"Oh my, I thought it was someone else! It's Chen Hai's mentor, Teacher Gao! No, he should be called Secretary Gao now!"

"Prosecutor Chen, please don't joke with me. As the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of a prefecture-level city, I still have to work under your guidance!"

"Don't say that. My son Chen Hai has always remembered the kindness you showed him at school. Even though you've already been promoted before he graduated, please bear with him if anything happens to him at school in the future."

After hearing Chen Yanshi's words, Gao Yuliang seemed to calm down a bit.

Qi Tongwei wanted to arrest him; such a big thing should have been known to Chen Yanshi.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuliang changed the subject and tentatively asked.

"Prosecutor Chen, I heard today that our mayor, Zhao Lidong, was arrested. Apparently, it was Qi Tongwei who led the operation."

"Zhao Lidong was arrested? How could I not know about something this big? It must be a rumor. Besides, I already told Qi Tongwei that it was just a routine matter, he can't do this."

"But Prosecutor Chen, my secretary saw Zhao Lidong being taken away from the office!"

"Secretary Gao, don't worry. If Zhao Lidong really made a mistake, it wouldn't be our procuratorate that took him away. I guess it was the disciplinary committee that arrested him."

Gao Yuliang was initially skeptical, but after hearing Chen Yanshi's words...

Gao Yuliang also felt that he might be overthinking things, and probably it couldn't have been his student who did it.

"Alright, Prosecutor Chen, thank you for your help. I understand the situation now."

"Secretary Gao, you're too kind. Please take good care of my son, Chen Hai!"

After exchanging a few polite words, Gao Yuliang and Chen Yanshi hung up the phone.
