A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

He hadn't suspected these people before, but now that he saw the entries "[Want to prove his innocence (gold)]" and "[Afraid his secret will be discovered (gold)]", he realized that these people had all gone bad.

In an instant, Qi Tongwei's face turned extremely ugly. He even felt somewhat powerless. He had not expected that the ending would be like this.

Now he can only start by slowly reshuffling the top ranks of the Handong Provincial Government, gradually bringing in fresh blood.

This matter cannot be rushed. We absolutely cannot let Sha Ruijin wipe them all out, otherwise the work in Handong Province will come to a large-scale standstill.

For a moment, Qi Tongwei felt that his subordinates were being promoted too slowly and that there were too few people available. He urgently needed to make use of his people and recruit some new people into the Qi family gang, even if it was just for the harem, provided that Zhong Xiaoai, who was watching the show with a smile, agreed.

Only in this way can we eliminate these two-faced people one by one. He doesn't know how many such cases exist across the country, but at least in Handong Province, even if the provincial party committee itself can't control them, under his rule, a peaceful and just place must be restored!

At this moment, Wang Shenhao was still smashing away with all his might when suddenly, a loud "bang" came from the conference room.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that it wasn't Wang Shenhao's watch that had broken, but rather the leg of the solid wood chair in the conference room that had snapped off instantly.

With that "smack," Zhong Xiaoai, having finally realized what had happened, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Upon hearing Zhong Xiaoai's laughter, everyone's expressions finally softened, and they all burst into laughter.

At this moment, Wang Shenhao was covered in sweat and panting heavily. His neatly combed slicked-back hair had mostly come undone, and his hair was covered in sweat.

Zhuang Guotai, who was standing next to Wang Shenhao, picked up the watch from the ground, looked at it carefully, and then said...

"As expected of advanced technology from abroad! And this dial must be made of gemstones, which is why the solid wood chair broke upon impact!"

Upon hearing Zhuang Guotai's words, Li Hui's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful expression.

"Governor Wang, it seems your resolve to be honest and incorruptible isn't all that great after all. After all that effort, you still couldn't break the designer watch you acquired!"

As soon as Li Hui finished speaking, laughter erupted again from the audience.

However, Qi Tongwei noticed that Zhong Xiaoai didn't laugh along with the others this time.

Zhong Xiaoai probably didn't expect that Wang Shenhao would swagger to the meeting wearing such a priceless watch, and even dare to keep shouting that his watch was fake.

Qi Tongwei looked at Wang Shenhao expressionlessly.

Wang Shenhao was covered in sweat, his face was deathly pale, and his hair was disheveled. He looked at Qi Tongwei with a pleading expression.

"Governor Qi, you have to believe me! I really bought this watch for a thousand yuan! I don't know how it could be of such good quality!"

Qi Tongwei was very disappointed to see that Wang Shenhao was still making excuses even now.

"Shen Hao, you're just afraid of going to jail, aren't you? If you're afraid of going to jail, why did you take someone else's watch?"

At this point, Qi Tongwei angrily slammed his hand on the table, the sound echoing throughout the entire room.

Qi Tongwei's slam on the table sent a shiver down everyone's spine, because only they themselves knew whether they were truly innocent.

Qi Tongwei's face was expressionless at this moment, only his cold demeanor remained.

"You all say that I took down Sun Huashan, but if Sun Huashan were truly capable of forging iron, how could I possibly defeat him?"

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei angrily pointed to He Dongfeng's empty seat.

"Yesterday! Right here, your old friend He Dongfeng passed away right here! Comrades, did I scare He Dongfeng to death? Did our Handong Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau and Comrade Sha Ruijin scare He Dongfeng to death? If he was upright and righteous, who could scare him to death?!"

After Qi Tongwei shouted, the scene fell silent. Everyone returned to their pale faces, and sweat beaded on their foreheads.

Qi Tongwei noticed that although Zhong Xiaoai didn't laugh this time, nor did she find the current meeting content interesting, she was indeed listening intently to what Qi Tongwei was saying, her eyes wide open.

Chapter 469 I Just Want to Be a Good Person

Qi Tongwei believed that although Zhong Xiaoai usually liked to play around and was a little willful, she would still feel heartbroken and sad when she saw such a group of scoundrels under her father Zhong Lao's rule and such a group of parasites in Xia Kingdom.

Zhong Xiaoai, who had just been finding Wang Shenhao's constant smashing of his watch ridiculous, now looked extremely ugly. Her expression appeared calm as she silently watched Wang Shenhao, but Qi Tongwei knew Zhong Xiaoai well and understood that she was actually very angry.

Qi Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Shenhao, who was expressionless and looked like he was in a daze.

"Comrade Shen Hao, I'll address you as comrade one last time. I'll have the Provincial Government Office find two people to accompany you to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to meet Secretary Pu Hongjiu."

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei looked at the watch that Zhuang Guotai had just placed on the table, the one that had remained undamaged no matter how much he tried to smash it.

"Go ahead. As comrades of our Handong Provincial Government, we must admit our mistakes and be willing to bear the consequences!"

At this point, Qi Tongwei's voice softened again, as if he were calmly recounting something.

"Go early, it might be considered that you turned yourself in, and you could get a lighter sentence."

As soon as Qi Tongwei finished speaking, the conference room door opened, and two young men from the General Office of the Handong Provincial Government walked in. While Qi Tongwei was speaking, some people in the room had already realized what was happening and immediately contacted the General Office of the Provincial Government.

After the two approached, Qi Tongwei pointed to Wang Shenhao, who was standing there dumbfounded.

"Take him to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

The two men nodded after hearing this. Then they walked up to Wang Shenhao, smiled, and said...

"Governor Wang, let's go."

Wang Shenhao seemed completely lost, numbly following the two out. At this moment, Qi Tongwei pointed to the table.

"A Patek Philippe watch, worth millions! Take it!"

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, one of the young men quickly turned around, went to the conference table, and took the watch. Just as the two were about to leave the conference room with Wang Shenhao, Qi Tongwei suddenly spoke.

"When we get to the Discipline Inspection Commission, could you two young comrades please tell Secretary Pu that Comrade Wang Shenhao voluntarily turned himself in?"

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, the two young comrades immediately responded.

"Understood, Governor!" x2

Wang Shenhao's eyes reddened instantly. He had been utterly despondent and devoid of emotion, but for some reason, he was suddenly moved. He understood the meaning of Qi Tongwei's words: he had made a mistake, and Qi Tongwei could not protect him, but he was trying to secure the most lenient treatment possible for him.

Wang Shenhao's eyes were red as he turned to Qi Tongwei and said.

"Governor, thank you!" After saying this, tears streamed down Wang Shenhao's face, but Qi Tongwei didn't react at all. Wang Shenhao looked at Qi Tongwei, who hadn't even glanced at him the entire time, smiled through his tears, and left the office.

After Wang Shenhao and the two young men left, Qi Tongwei looked at the people in the conference room and sighed.

"Comrades, we are colleagues who work together, comrades-in-arms in the same trench. I don't want to send anyone out of this provincial government building, but just like those who break military discipline in battle, sometimes discipline is discipline, and there's no way around it."

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei stood up, his face showing no smugness at having defeated anyone. He glanced at the two empty seats occupied by He Dongfeng and Wang Shenhao, his expression unusually calm, and then spoke coldly.

Meeting adjourned!

After saying this, unlike before, Zhong Xiaoai stood up early. Although she didn't come over to help Qi Tongwei get the pen and notebook from the table, she proactively went to the meeting room door to wait for him. This time, everyone in the meeting room seemed to have learned their manners; before Qi Tongwei left, no one left their seat. No one had any expression on their face, and no one whispered or said anything to each other; they all sat there like idiots.

Qi Tongwei picked up the pen and notebook from the table, said nothing more, and left with Zhong Xiaoai. After Qi Tongwei left, everyone present remained deathly silent, because everyone knew that today it was Wang Shenhao, tomorrow it could be them. Perhaps Wang Shenhao's accident today was just bad luck, because Qi Tongwei seemed not to have initially known that the watch on Wang Shenhao's wrist was real, or rather, Qi Tongwei didn't initially know that the watch was a Patek Philippe, worth millions. Qi Tongwei originally just thought it was a new watch Wang Shenhao had bought and wanted to tease him, but he didn't expect it to end like this.

At least forty minutes after Qi Tongwei left, Li Hui smiled and addressed everyone.

"I have something to attend to, so I'll head back to my office now."

With that, Li Hui got up and left. Li Hui's secretary immediately ran over from the audience, picked up Li Hui's pen and notebook, and followed Li Hui out of the conference room.

Normally, everyone could leave after the meeting, but for some reason, those leaving had to say goodbye, as if asking for leave. That day, it's unclear how long the people in the meeting room stayed before leaving. Qi Tongwei later learned that the meeting, which started around 2 PM and ended around 5 PM, continued until after 3 AM, with people still sitting inside and the lights still on.

In Hong Kong, Chen Yongren was driving home at night with Han Chen's wife, Mary. Mary sat in the passenger seat, smiling at Chen Yongren.

"What? You've never gone shopping with a girl before?"

Chen Yongren didn't answer the question, only smiled. It wasn't that Chen Yongren hadn't gone shopping with girls; he had girlfriends, so how could he not have gone shopping with women? It's just that Chen Yongren always wanted to be a good person, and he never took money from his family. The money the Ni family sent to Chen Yongren was initially returned by him, but later it was immediately returned. After a while, Chen Yongren just stopped caring and simply left the money there, never spending it himself.

In fact, Chen Yongren's mother had passed away long ago. Although Ni Kun wanted to acknowledge him, Chen Yongren didn't want to be a gangster or join a triad. Chen Yongren knew very well that he only wanted to be a good person!

Chapter 470 These are all misunderstandings.

Chen Yongren set a goal for himself in his heart: to be a good person, even if he was born into the Ni family and was now an undercover agent. He wanted to be the light that walked in the darkness.

Is that why Chen Yongren had no money to go shopping with his girlfriend?

Yes, I do work during my time off, but I still have to pay rent and eat!

This is Hong Kong, a place where every inch of land is incredibly valuable.

He originally thought that once he graduated from police academy, he would have money and be able to support his girlfriend May.

But who could have imagined that things would turn out so unpredictably? Now he's an undercover agent, damn it, going to steal dirty money, money from the Ni family. It's ridiculous to even think about it!

Just now, Han Chen's wife Mary asked him if he had ever gone shopping with a woman. It's not that he hasn't gone shopping with women, it's that he can't afford to!

Mary saw that Chen Yongren didn't say anything, but just smiled. She naturally assumed that this proved that Chen Yongren had never gone shopping with women.

That makes sense, he doesn't even have a girlfriend, how could he have gone shopping with a woman?

Thinking of this, Mary smiled and looked at Chen Yongren.

"Ren, are you nervous going shopping with me today?"

Chen Yongren turned his head, looked at Mary who was teasing him, and smiled again.

"That's true, Mary. After all, you're Brother Chen's woman, my sister-in-law!"

Mary found Chen Yongren fascinating; he was profound, as if he had endless stories to tell.

Mary rested her chin on her hand and her elbow on the passenger-side window, looking at Chen Yongren with a smile.

"I asked you if you were nervous shopping with me, not if you were nervous shopping with Brother Chen's woman, your sister-in-law! Do you even understand what I mean?"

Chen Yongren felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing Mary's words.

Chen Yongren never expected Mary to ask such a direct question. In fact, Chen Yongren originally wanted to say that his nervousness towards Mary was just a younger brother's respect for his sister-in-law, and he had no other thoughts.

However, Chen Yongren suddenly remembered the words of his superior, Senior Inspector Huang Zhicheng of the Hong Kong Police Force.

He told himself that he had to get along with Mary no matter what, even if it was just to find an opportunity to get in her car and take her for a drive.

Huang Zhicheng had made his point clear, and Chen Yongren understood that this was the mission, and he had no choice.

"Sister Mary, you're so charming, don't ask me that! I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself!"

Upon hearing Chen Yongren's words, Mary seemed very happy. She suddenly brought her face very close to Chen Yongren's, and then Chen Yongren could clearly feel the fragrance on Mary's body and the breath she exhaled.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yongren, who was driving, suddenly felt a pair of hands on the gear shift lever, preparing to practice shifting gears in his car.

Chen Yongren immediately understood that the person who wanted to practice shifting gears in the car was Mary, since it was just him and Mary in the car.

Chen Yongren felt his heart pounding for a moment, but he was still a little embarrassed. After all, he already had a girlfriend, May, and it wasn't appropriate to just casually practice shifting gears with someone else in the car.

Thinking of this, Chen Yongren smiled and looked at Mary.

Before Chen Yongren could even speak, Mary had already skillfully removed the excess fabric covering the gear shift lever in Chen Yongren's car, and now Mary's hand was tightly gripping the gear shift lever in her own car.

Mary looked at Chen Yongren with a smile.

"Have you ever practiced shifting gears in a car in all your life?"

Chen Yongren didn't know what to say for a moment; he felt a little embarrassed.
