A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

"Explain your problems? What problems do I need to explain?"

"Qi Tongwei, do you know Gao Qiqiang?"

“Gao Qiqiang? I personally sent him in, of course I know him.”

Hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Zhang Yong waved his hand.

"Qi Tongwei, you don't need to put on an act with me here. I'll tell you the truth: Gao Qiqiang originally thought he had a chance to survive, so he didn't report you. But when he learned that he was sentenced to death and was doomed, he wrote a long article of more than ten thousand words before his execution, accusing you of accepting bribes from him and then putting him to death!"

"I accepted bribes from Gao Qiqiang? Ridiculous! What bribes did I receive from him? I have no idea about it."

Seeing Qi Tongwei's attitude, Zhang Yong slammed his fist on the table in front of him again.

"Qi Tongwei! Don't be ungrateful. Let me tell you, do you think we can just arbitrarily imprison a deputy director-level cadre like you without any evidence? Think about it, didn't Gao Qiqiang give you two women named Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng?"

"What a joke! What kind of society is this, Director Zhang? How could you say something so ridiculous?"

After he finished speaking, Qi Tongwei laughed.

Zhang Yong's face turned cold again.

"Qi Tongwei, what are you laughing at?"

"How many years has our New Xia Kingdom been established? Slavery is a thing of the past. How can anyone in this society treat girls as objects to be given away? Director Zhang, you said that Gao Qiqiang gave Gao Xiaofeng and Gao Xiaoqin to me. Then let me ask you, are Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng objects? Don't they have their own will? What, can I also take you, Director Zhang, and give you to Secretary Liang Qunfeng?"

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Zhang Yong instantly lost his temper again.

"Qi Tongwei! You're talking complete nonsense! I advise you to explain yourself properly!"

At this moment, in the room next door, Ji Changming, who had witnessed everything, shook his head helplessly.

“I told you long ago that Qi Tongwei is a thorn in our side, but Zhang Yong insists on standing up for Liang Qunfeng.”

Just then, Ji Changming's phone rang. When he looked at it, the name on the caller ID was Zhang Lianjun.

"Oh no!" Ji Changming's heart skipped a beat. This place had come to confront him and demand an explanation.

However, being caught between Liang Qunfeng and Zhang Lianjun is indeed a difficult situation.

Fortunately, the evidence was quite sufficient. It seemed that Qi Tongwei had indeed brought the twin sisters Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng back to Jingzhou; otherwise, Ji Changming really wouldn't have dared to answer the phone.

"Hello? Old boss?"

Ji Changming's face immediately lit up with a smile after answering the phone.

On the other side, Zhang Lianjun's anxious voice, tinged with tension, could be heard.

"Changming, did you take Qi Tongwei back to your provincial procuratorate for investigation?"

"Oh dear, you already know about this, mainly because..."

"You don't need to explain to me!"

Ji Changming was about to explain the facts when Zhang Lianjun said something that left him completely bewildered.

"What's wrong, old boss?"

"Let me tell you, Changming, I recommended you for the position of chief prosecutor before I left. Do you remember?"

"How could I forget, leader? Especially Qi Tongwei..."

Ji Changming wanted to talk about criminal evidence or facts, but Zhang Lianjun still didn't give him a chance to finish speaking.

"What happened to Qi Tongwei? Huh?! Let me tell you, Qi Tongwei's wife is named Zhong Xiaoai!"

"Old boss, I really don't know. What's his wife's name? What does it have to do with this?"

"What does it have to do with anything? Do you think it was so easy for me to recommend you for the position of chief prosecutor? Do you think Comrade Qi Tongwei was so favored by all sorts of high-ranking leaders? Think about Qi Tongwei's wife, what's her name?"

"Ah? Zhong Xiaoai..."

For a moment, Ji Changming's brain went blank.

"Old boss, is there something wrong with Zhong Xiaoai?"

"What's the problem? Whose speeches are you reading in the documents every day? Whose spirit are you studying every day? Don't you watch the news during prime time? You'd better watch yourself!"

Chapter 53 Dad, I will be good to Liang Lu

At this point, Zhang Lianjun angrily hung up the phone.

After Zhang Lianjun hung up the phone, Ji Changming kept muttering to himself.

"Zhong Xiaoai, speaking... Could it be Old Zhong? Is Zhong Xiaoai a relative of Old Zhong?!"

Thinking of this, Ji Changming turned his head again to look at the interrogation room.

Qi Tongwei, who had maintained a composed demeanor, and Zhang Yong, who was slamming his fist on the table and glaring at him, couldn't help but turn pale, their lips twitching uncontrollably.

Inside the office of Liang Qunfeng, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Hantong Provincial Party Committee.

Hou Liangping and Liang Lu were sitting opposite Liang Qunfeng.

"Don't worry, you're a young man with a strong sense of justice. It's good that you dared to stand up for Comrade Chen Yanshi after he suffered injustice!"

When Liang Lu heard her father praising Hou Liangping, she smiled and grabbed Hou Liangping's arms with both hands.

“Dad, that’s just how Liangping is. He always thinks of others. You don’t know, he’s full of a sense of justice!”

Upon hearing Liang Lu's words, Liang Qunfeng smiled with satisfaction.

"Great! Great! You have a strong sense of justice and are a law student. After you graduate, I'll arrange for you to work in a relevant unit so you can fully utilize your talents!"

Upon hearing Liang Qunfeng's words, Hou Liangping's eyes lit up, and he smiled as he looked at Liang Lu beside him.

"Dad, don't worry, I will treat Liang Lu well."

Upon hearing Hou Liangping call him "Dad," Liang Qunfeng's expression changed slightly.

"What? You're calling me 'Dad' so soon?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Lu immediately smiled and smoothed things over.

"Dad, isn't this all because Liangping is good to me?"

Just then, the phone on Liang Qunfeng's desk suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and then answered the phone.

"Hello? Secretary Zhao?"

Indeed, the person who made the call was Zhao Lichun, the then Party Secretary of Handong Province.

"Qunfeng, are you in your office?"

"I'm with Secretary Zhao. You were looking for me?"

"Come to me."

After saying that, Zhao Lichun hung up the phone before Liang Qunfeng could respond.

Liang Qunfeng was momentarily at a loss. Zhao Lichun had never been so forceful when she approached him before.

Why did they hang up the phone before I even finished speaking?

Seeing that Liang Qunfeng's expression was not good, Liang Lu quickly asked.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Liang Qunfeng didn't say anything, but picked up the pen and notebook on the table.

"I'm going to see Secretary Zhao Lichun. You and Liangping go ahead and get busy. Come over tonight. Your mother will personally show you her cooking skills tonight."

Upon hearing Liang Qunfeng's words, Hou Liangping stood up with a smile.

"Okay, Dad, you go ahead and get busy! Liang Lu and I will head back now."

As Liang Qunfeng listened to Hou Liangping calling him "Dad" repeatedly, so smoothly, he couldn't help but admire how thick-skinned this young man named Hou Liangping really was.

This was the first time she had met him, and she didn't know if he and her daughter would end up together.

His daughter, Liang Qunfeng, has a rich romantic history, with numerous scandals in the past, which eventually made it impossible for her to get pregnant.

I don't know what Hou Liangping saw in his daughter, but he seems to think he can grow old with her.

After Hou Liangping and Liang Lu left, Liang Qunfeng didn't rest. He went straight to Zhao Lichun's office.

When Liang Qunfeng knocked on the door, he was surprised to find that it wasn't Zhao Lichun's secretary, Li Dakang, who opened the door.

Instead, it was someone he had never seen before. Liang Qunfeng walked in with some surprise.

At this moment, Zhao Lichun stood up.

"Liang Qunfeng, you've arrived."

Liang Qunfeng smiled.

"Secretary Zhao!"

He called out Zhao Lichun's name while nodding.

Then, he looked at Zhao Lichun's side, where Liang Qunfeng's expression began to turn ugly.

"Secretary Pu?"

Indeed, the person standing next to Zhao Lichun was Pu Hongjiu, then Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Handong Province.

"Comrade Liang Qunfeng, because you are suspected of abusing your power to retaliate against some outstanding comrades, please come with us."

Liang Qunfeng's face turned pale instantly. He had come to Zhao Lichun with a notebook, but he hadn't expected to encounter this situation.

Before Liang Qunfeng could react, a silver bracelet was already on his wrist.

Liang Qunfeng looked at Pu Hongjiu in surprise.

"Secretary Pu, are you mistaken? How could I possibly abuse my power to attack someone?"

Pu Hongjiu smiled slightly at Liang Qunfeng.

"This isn't something you or I can decide; it's the higher-ups who have given their orders and determined the nature of your case. Besides, leaders from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection are already on their way to Handong. You'd better prepare to confess your problems. This time, it's not us who will be questioning you, but your superiors."

Upon hearing Pu Hongjiu's words, Liang Qunfeng broke out in a cold sweat.

He had been in the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission for many years and had long been accustomed to the feeling of being able to command the wind and rain at will.

For Liang Qunfeng, wielding his limited power arbitrarily was a common occurrence.

He really couldn't understand why he had only given the deputy director of the provincial police department a silver bracelet that morning.
