Qi Tongwei throws a sniper rifle, scaring Hou Liangping and Sha Ruijin to their knees

Chapter 259 Airborne Landing in Sha Ruijin!

As Qi Tongwei gradually implemented a series of personnel arrangements, the talents he summoned to Jingzhou took their positions one after another, like key chess pieces falling on the power chessboard he carefully constructed. Gao Yuliang came from Jinghai to serve as the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Handong Province. When he first arrived in Jingzhou, he met with Qi Tongwei without stopping. In a quiet study room, the two planned the future direction of the political and legal system in the smoke.

"Director Qi, the situation in Jingzhou is more complicated than I thought, but fortunately we have a plan, and the next step is to move forward steadily." Gao Yuliang's eyes were deep and his expression was serious.

Qi Tongwei nodded slightly: "Secretary Gao, with your experience and prestige in the political and legal field, I believe that many problems can be easily solved. Let's start with internal discipline and improving the quality of the team, and build a political and legal iron army that can truly escort Handong."

Sun Liancheng stepped into the Jingzhou Municipal Government Building with great ambition. He stood in front of the window of the mayor's office, overlooking the city, and silently vowed in his heart to change the urban landscape of Jingzhou and improve the quality of life of citizens. He quickly convened a meeting of heads of various departments, and passionately expounded his governance philosophy at the meeting: "Dear colleagues, the future of Jingzhou lies in the combination of innovation and pragmatism. We must focus on people's livelihood projects in urban construction and find new growth points in economic development. We can't go down the old path again."

Gao Gang took office as the deputy director of the Public Security Department. He plunged into the affairs of the Public Security Department, carefully studied case files, and discussed with grassroots police officers. At a criminal investigation meeting, he said with a firm look: "We must strengthen intelligence collection and analysis to improve the efficiency and accuracy of case detection. We will never show leniency to criminals who endanger the social security of Handong."

After Fang Xinwu took office as the director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, he actively carried out police training and equipment updates. On the training ground of the police station, he personally demonstrated the movements and shouted to the police officers: "We must always stay in the best condition to deal with various emergencies. Only by being strong can we protect every inch of Jingzhou."

Under this seemingly orderly new power layout, Zhao Lichun felt very uncomfortable in his own residence, full of resentment and resentment. He looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, knowing that all this was about to go away from him, but he could do nothing about it.

At this time, Chen Yanshi heard that Qi Tongwei was now powerful in Handong. Although he still looked down on Qi Tongwei, he also understood that the situation was stronger than the person. After thinking again and again, he decided to go to Qi Tongwei's residence. When he arrived at the door, Qi Tongwei received a notification and knew exactly what Chen Yanshi was here for. He couldn't help but sneer. He was already brooding over what Chen Yanshi had done in the past, and now this man was licking his face again, Qi Tongwei didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Chen Yanshi walked into the room, cleared his throat and said, "Qi Tongwei, I'm here to see you."

Qi Tongwei sat on the sofa without moving. He just glanced up and responded coldly: "Mr. Chen, what are you doing here? I'm very busy now and don't have time to accompany you."

Chen Yanshi didn't expect Qi Tongwei to be so disrespectful. His face suddenly darkened: "Qi Tongwei, what's your attitude? I'm your elder after all, how can you treat me like this?"

Qi Tongwei stood up, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Mr. Chen, please don't mention the word elder to me. When I was in the most difficult time, did you ever have any pity for me? Now that you see that I have power, you want to come over to make connections. Don't you think it's too late?"

At this moment, Chen Yang also walked in. She looked at Qi Tongwei with mixed emotions in her eyes: "Qi Tongwei, long time no see."

When Qi Tongwei saw Chen Yang, a ripple appeared in his heart, but it was quickly covered by indifference. He turned his head and said to Chen Yanshi: "Mr. Chen, no matter what your purpose is today, I am not interested. I still have a lot of important things to deal with, please leave."

Chen Yanshi was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Qi Tongwei, don't get too complacent. It's still uncertain how far you can go on the road to power."

Qi Tongwei sneered: "Then you don't have to worry about it. Every step I take is based on my own efforts. I am not like some people who only stand on the moral high ground and point fingers at others."

After saying that, Qi Tongwei ignored Chen Yanshi and Chen Yang, walked straight into the study, and slammed the door shut.

Chen Yang looked at the closed door, feeling mixed emotions. She knew Qi Tongwei had deep resentment in his heart, but she didn't expect him to be so resolute.

In the study, Qi Tongwei calmed down and then called Gao Yuliang to discuss how to deal with the challenges that might come next.

Gao Yuliang said on the other end of the phone: "Director Qi, although we have just made the initial layout, we must not take it lightly. Although Zhao Lichun has lost his power, he will definitely not give up and will definitely make some small moves behind the scenes."

Qi Tongwei's eyes were firm: "Secretary Gao, I understand. If he wants to make a last-ditch effort, let him do it. I want to see what tricks he can come up with. What we need to do now is to consolidate our power, promote various policies, and let the people of Handong see our ability and determination."

Qi Tongwei knows that although he has temporarily gained an advantage in this power struggle, the road ahead is still full of thorns. He must always remain vigilant and deal with possible counterattacks from all parties in order to truly gain a foothold in Handong and realize his political ambitions. His ruthlessness towards Chen Yanshi also shows that he is no longer the Qi Tongwei who allowed himself to be bullied and longed for recognition from others. Now, he has completely transformed in the vortex of power, only following the rules in his heart, and moving towards a higher peak of power, even if the road is full of enemies and doubts.

As Qi Tongwei's path to power gradually unfolds and various forces are either trying to win him over or testing him, Chen Yang takes the initiative to find Qi Tongwei again with mixed feelings. She still retains a trace of nostalgia and expectations for the past relationship in her heart, hoping to get closer to Qi Tongwei again in this turbulent time and find the warmth she once lost.

Chen Yang carefully selected an afternoon and came to the place where Qi Tongwei often appeared to wait. When Qi Tongwei appeared, she hurried forward and said, "Qi Tongwei, I want to talk to you alone." Qi Tongwei was slightly startled. Looking at Chen Yang, who looked a little haggard but still had a familiar aura, his heart was filled with indescribable waves. But it was only a momentary touch, and soon he returned to his coldness. "Chen Yang, there is nothing to say between us. Let the past be the past. Now my life and career are at a critical period, and I don't want to be disturbed by other things." His tone was cold and firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

A trace of pain and unwillingness flashed in Chen Yang's eyes: "Qi Tongwei, can you really let go of the feelings of so many years so easily? I know my father once hurt you, but I have always been concerned about you." Qi Tongwei sighed softly: "Chen Yang, some injuries, once done, are difficult to make up for. I am no longer the same person I was back then, and my goals and pursuits have changed. You should live your own life and stop wasting your time on me." After that, he turned and was about to leave, leaving Chen Yang standing alone, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at Qi Tongwei's departing back, as if she saw the beauty of the past completely shattered and dissipated.

Not long after Qi Tongwei dealt with the dispute with Chen Yang, Zhong Xiaoai from Beijing also came confidently. Zhong Xiaoai always believed that she had provided a lot of help in Qi Tongwei's career advancement. In her opinion, Qi Tongwei should be grateful and work with her, and even be emotionally inclined to her.

She appeared in front of Qi Tongwei with an elegant and proud attitude: "Qi Tongwei, now you have established a firm foothold in Handong, you should know that this is inseparable from my support. I think we can plan our future well." Qi Tongwei looked at Zhong Xiaoai and understood her intention, but he just responded calmly: "Zhong Xiaoai, I am very grateful for your help, but feelings cannot be forced. I have my own ideas and plans, and I don't want to follow your plan."

Zhong Xiaoai's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief: "What did you say? Qi Tongwei, don't be ungrateful. I have been working for you in Beijing and making connections for you, but now you are rejecting me?" Qi Tongwei raised his head slightly, his eyes firm: "I am not ungrateful. I am just pursuing my own ideals and ambitions. In the process, I don't want to be bound by emotions, especially this kind of emotions mixed with too many considerations of interests."

Zhong Xiaoai's face turned extremely ugly, and her voice became a little higher: "Qi Tongwei, do you really think you can call the shots in Handong by yourself? Without the power behind me, you may be smashed to pieces at any time." Qi Tongwei sneered: "Since I can come this far, I have the confidence to continue. I don't need to rely on others to achieve success, and I will not change my decision because of threats."

Zhong Xiaoai was completely enraged by Qi Tongwei's tough attitude. She turned away angrily, secretly vowing to make Qi Tongwei pay for his refusal. Qi Tongwei looked at the direction where Zhong Xiaoai left, knowing that he had made another powerful enemy, but he had no regrets. In his world, the pinnacle of power is his ultimate goal. He will not hesitate to abandon any factors that try to interfere with his path forward, whether it is a former emotional bond or a potential threat to interests. He stood alone in the center of the stage of power. Although he was surrounded by enemies, he still firmly moved forward in the direction of his heart, and he would never look back even if the road ahead was full of thorns.

After Zhong Xiaoai returned to Beijing with anger and humiliation, she ran straight home to tell her father about her grievances and unwillingness. In the elegantly decorated living room, she emotionally recounted her experience with Qi Tongwei, her voice trembling a little: "Dad, Qi Tongwei is so arrogant! I have paid so much for him, running around in Beijing to smooth out relationships for him, and I thought he would be grateful and work with me. But he rejected me mercilessly and spoke coldly to me, completely disregarding my feelings and our previous relationship."

Father Zhong sat on the sofa, his face gradually darkening, his eyes revealing anger and majesty. He frowned, clenched his hands on the armrests, and the anger in his heart rose like a burning flame: "Qi Tongwei, this ignorant guy! He can have his current position, of course, he has some ability, but if it weren't for our support and acquiescence behind him, how could he be so successful? Now he dares to treat you like this, it's simply ungrateful to the extreme!"

Seeing her father angry, Zhong Xiaoai felt even more aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes: "Dad, you must help me get rid of this anger. We can't let him do whatever he wants in Handong, thinking he can get rid of our control."

Father Zhong stood up and paced back and forth in the living room. His steps were heavy and powerful, and every step seemed to carry dissatisfaction and resentment towards Qi Tongwei: "Don't worry, daughter. Since he dared to do this, he must pay a heavy price for his actions. I will not let him off easily."

Afterwards, Zhong's father quickly contacted Mr. Wang. During the call, his tone was serious and firm: "Mr. Wang, Qi Tongwei has gradually lost control in Handong. Not only did he refuse to cooperate with us, he also openly humiliated my daughter. This person is arrogant. If we allow him to continue to develop, it will have a serious negative impact on our layout in Handong and even the entire situation."

Elder Wang on the other end of the phone also realized the seriousness of the matter. He slowly said, "I am also worried about this. Although Zhao Lichun had many problems in Handong before, it was still within our control. Now that Qi Tongwei has risen like this, the original balance has been disrupted. We must take decisive measures to check and balance it."

After some discussion, they decided to send Sha Ruijin to replace Zhao Lichun and let Zhao Lichun retire to the CPPCC. Sha Ruijin was well-known in the officialdom for his integrity and outstanding ability, and he had a deep background and extensive connections. They hoped that Sha Ruijin could rely on his prestige and means to parachute into Handong, directly form a strong check and balance on Qi Tongwei, and curb the further expansion of Qi Tongwei's power.

Qi Tongwei in Jingzhou was still unaware of the storm brewing against him in the capital. He was still focused on consolidating his power base in Handong, discussing a series of important matters such as urban construction and political and legal reforms with Gao Yuliang, Sun Liancheng and others.

At an internal meeting of the political and legal system, Qi Tongwei said with high spirits: "My fellow colleagues, we are now shouldering the important task of reshaping the political and legal image of Handong and maintaining social stability. We must resolutely crack down on crime, rectify police discipline, and let the people of Handong truly feel the power of fairness and justice."

Gao Yuliang nodded in agreement: "What Director Qi said is absolutely right. However, we cannot ignore the pressure and potential resistance from all sides. We need to act more cautiously and ensure that every decision can stand the test."

Sun Liancheng said with some concern: "Minister Qi, I heard that the people in the capital may be dissatisfied with us. Will they take any action?"

Qi Tongwei smiled confidently: "Mayor Sun, don't worry too much. As long as we make tangible achievements in Handong, satisfy the people and promote local development, we can handle the pressure with ease."

However, he obviously underestimated the determination and means of Zhong's father and Wang Lao. Sha Ruijin's coming is like a dark cloud hanging over Qi Tongwei's head, foreshadowing that a more intense power struggle is about to unfold in Handong.
