A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

"Mr. Jiang, isn't that Director Qi the head of the police department in Handong Province? Why don't you ask Director Qi to help you find out about your sister-in-law's past? This should be a trivial matter for Director Qi, right?"

"Ah B, you need to use your brain when you do things."

As Jiang Tiansheng spoke, he stood up and pointed to his head.

"Your sister-in-law was shot in the head. She smuggled herself to Hong Kong with drug dealers from Lone Eagle Ridge. She is very likely a wanted criminal on the mainland. If we reveal her information to the mainland police, and they come after us for her, should we give her to them or not?"

Big B gasped when he heard Jiang Tiansheng's words.

“Mr. Jiang, you are so thoughtful. Otherwise, I would have almost harmed my sister-in-law. But Mr. Jiang, you are really good to my sister-in-law. You even sent someone to the inland to look for her family.”

Jiang Tiansheng smiled and waved his hand.

"None of that matters. What matters is finding out who she was before she arrived in Hong Kong. I don't like having someone plant a spy in my life."

Chan Ho-nam looked at Chiang Tin-sang with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Jiang, do you suspect that your sister-in-law is an undercover agent?"

Jiang Tiansheng smiled.

"I don't like doubt, I like evidence!"

Upon hearing Jiang Tiansheng's words, Big B and Chen Haonan both lowered their heads and said in unison.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang!"

Chapter 82 I feel like Qi Tongwei stole my life

Outside the rented house shared by Hou Liangping and Gao Fangfang in Handong Province.

The delivery driver waited at the door for a long time with the food, but could only hear shouts coming from inside. No one opened the door.

Hello? Is anyone there?

The deliveryman continued to shout and knock on the door urgently.

A moment later, accompanied by shouts and panting.

A woman's voice came through the phone.

"Put it...put it by the door!"

Upon hearing this shout, the deliveryman shook his head helplessly and placed the food at the door.

Then, he muttered.

"How long have they been holding this in? They're practically screaming the ceiling off."

It was a long time after the deliveryman left, probably at least another hour or so.

The door opened a crack, and Wu Huifen reached out and took the takeout inside.

After Hou Liangping finished washing up, he and Wu Huifen sat down at the dining table.

Wu Huifen said while eating.

"Liangping, you're really going too far. How could you expect me to respond to the people outside in a situation like that?"

Hou Liangping smiled as he listened to Wu Huifen's words.

"Mom, you're just being hypocritical after getting the benefit!"

Wu Huifen suddenly blushed.

"I got a good deal and I'm acting innocent? What good deal did I get? You're just talking nonsense!"

Hou Liangping ate his meal with his signature smile still on his face. 26

"By the way, Mom, did Teacher Gao approve of my relationship with Fangfang?"

"Oh, so you call me Mom? And if you call Fangfang's Dad, then you're Teacher Gao?"

"Mom, please don't be so stubborn. What is Teacher Gao really thinking?"

"Don't pay any attention to him. You and Fangfang should get your marriage certificate first. After you have the baby, what will Gao Yuliang do to you?"

"It's not Mom, I'm just scared..."

Wu Huifen looked at Hou Liangping in front of her and said with a smile.

“You’re scared? What are you scared of? I didn’t see any fear on your face when you were making his wife scream.”

After hearing Wu Huifen's words, Hou Liangping lowered his head and continued eating.

However, his expression underwent a subtle change. It was hard to tell whether he was smug or apprehensive; in any case, his smile wasn't as bright as before.

"Mom, I'm graduating soon, and then I'll be facing the task of job assignment. If Teacher Gao doesn't speak up for me in this matter, it will be very difficult for me to get a good job."

"What are you afraid of? I'm here. I'll talk to him when the time comes."

Hou Liangping was delighted upon hearing Wu Huifen's words.

Because Hou Liangping is not doing these things purely to find some kind of emotional release.

Living off a woman is Hou Liangping's primary goal.

"I'm relieved to hear that."

"Ryoping, there's something I still need to remind you of."

"What are you saying?"

Hou Liangping looked at Wu Huifen with curiosity.

Wu Huifen took a deep breath and then said.

Do you know why your teacher, Mr. Gao, is so hostile towards you?

“I know he thinks I’m a kept man and looks down on me.”

Wu Huifen looked at Hou Liangping and shook her head.

"That's not all. Actually, what you, Professor Gao, are most afraid of is your senior, Qi Tongwei."

"Qi Tongwei?"

Hou Liangping's face was full of question marks after hearing this answer.

"What does it have to do with me being with Fangfang? Does he also have designs on Fangfang?"

At this point, Hou Liangping suddenly threw down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Mom, Zhong Xiaoai and I were doing just fine. But then Qi Tongwei interfered, and now he's risen to power by relying on Zhong Xiaoai. Doesn't that mean he stole my life?"

Wu Huifen pursed her lips and shook her head.

“Liangping, don’t say that. Can someone steal what belongs to you? Like me, if my relationship with you, Teacher Gao, is truly stronger than ever, can you interfere? If someone else can interfere, it’s usually because your relationship isn’t strong enough and a crack has appeared. You can’t blame anyone else for that.”

Wu Huifen paused at this point.

"Furthermore, Qi Tongwei caught Wang Dayong, an A-level fugitive, before even graduating from university. After joining the procuratorate, he solved numerous extraordinary cases. Liangping, honestly, do you have Qi Tongwei's abilities? So, sometimes, background is only one aspect of measuring a person. If your abilities are insufficient, even the strongest background may not be useful."

"Mom, am I really that bad? Besides, no matter how outstanding Qi Tongwei is, he can't just take my Zhong Xiaoai and then try to take my Fangfang, can he? Fangfang is already pregnant with my child. What? Even after all this, he still wants to take her away?"

“Liangping, Qi Tongwei didn’t try to take Fangfang from you. He doesn’t even know Fangfang well.”

"If that's the case, what does my relationship with Fangfang have to do with Qi Tongwei?"

Wu Huifen breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Hou Liangping, who seemed to understand nothing.

She couldn't help but feel that Hou Liangping's intelligence was merely superficial; he was only good at handling immediate matters.

Qi Tongwei's intelligence, however, is on a deeper level.

He doesn't dwell on short-term gains or losses; he always sees things in the long run.

"Liangping, Qi Tongwei is Zhong Lao's son-in-law, and he's currently the director of the Handong Provincial Police Department. Just recently, you and Liang Lu almost got Qi Tongwei imprisoned. This ultimately led to the downfall of Liang Lu's father, Liang Qunfeng, the former secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and Zhang Yong, the former director of the Handong Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau. Hou Liangping, do you think Qi Tongwei knew that you were behind this?"

After hearing Wu Huifen's words, Hou Liangping still had a smile on his face, looking indifferent.

"So what? What can he do even if he knows? I'm perfectly fine now, aren't I?"

Wu Huifen looked at Hou Liangping in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.

It's also because of her own body's incompetence that she became infatuated with the young Hou Liangping.

"Is your status higher than Liang Qunfeng's? Or higher than Zhang Yong's before? If Qi Tongwei could take revenge on them, why can't he take revenge on you?"

Upon hearing Wu Huifen's words, Hou Liangping pursed his lips and shrugged.

"So what? If he were really capable, I would have been in trouble long ago. Would I still be alive today?"

"Liangping, I don't know what your reasons are for being so fearless of Qi Tongwei. But let me tell you, just because you're not afraid of him doesn't mean your teacher Gao isn't afraid of him either."

"What do you mean? Is Teacher Gao some kind of coward? He stays in his office all day, with his head tucked in. Is he some kind of green-haired turtle with a grassland growing on his head?"

Although Wu Huifen did do many things that wronged Gao Yuliang.

However, in this timeline, Gao Yuliang did not do anything to wrong Wu Huifen.

Therefore, Wu Huifen was still a little angry when she heard Hou Liangping say that.

“Liangping, Gao Yuliang is your teacher after all. You should at least show him the most basic respect.”

Hou Liangping looked indifferent after hearing Wu Huifen's words.

"Mom, right now I only care about my job assignment. I need Teacher Gao to put in a good word for me. Everything else is none of my business."

Looking at Hou Liangping in front of her, Wu Huifen wondered if taking this step was the right thing to do.

For the first time, she began to seriously doubt herself, wondering why she had fallen for such a short-sighted and superficial person as Hou Liangping.

However, he is now getting more and more involved with Hou Liangping.

Moreover, Hou Liangping would take photos and videos each time, leaving behind a large amount of evidence.

Now, whether Wu Huifen likes it or not, she has no choice.

"I understand, Liangping. I will try to persuade your teacher, Gao. But you need to be careful with Qi Tongwei. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if something unexpected happens."

After listening to Wu Huifen's words, Hou Liangping smiled and looked down on Qi Tongwei.

"It's alright, Mom. Don't worry about Qi Tongwei. Once I start working, in a couple of years, we'll see who's afraid of whom!"
