Title: Reborn Qi Tongwei, who defies fate by half a move and refuses to kneel

Chapter 126 The Imperial Sword, Hou Liangping's Wishful Thinking

At the southwestern border defense base in the early morning, the air still carried the dampness and earthy smell left by last night's torrential rain.

A Gulfstream G550 special plane painted with official markings pierced through the thin fog, looking out of place on this solemn military runway.

The cabin door opened, and Hou Liangping, dressed in a sharp dark suit and carrying a shiny black briefcase, strode down the gangway.

He glanced at his watch, a confident, even somewhat arrogant smile playing on his lips.

They came at just the right time.

According to intelligence, the spoiled brat named Zhao Ruilong has been apprehended.

Although the process was somewhat tortuous, and I heard that Qi Tongwei, that madman, caused quite a stir on the border, the result was good.

As long as the person is alive, the credit remains.

The "special transfer order" in his hand, issued overnight by the Supreme People's Procuratorate, is like an imperial sword.

No matter how much trouble Qi Tongwei caused, in the end, he, as the "imperial envoy," still had to reap the rewards.

There's nothing we can do about it; after all, we represent procedural justice.

Hou Liangping straightened his collar and strode towards the detention cells in the core area of ​​the base.

"stop!"

Two cold, hard Type 95 assault rifles were crossed in front of him.

The guard with the gun had camouflage paint on his face, and his eyes were devoid of any emotion, as if he were looking at a moving piece of rotten flesh.

"I am Hou Liangping from the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate!"

Hou Liangping frowned, pulled the document with the bright red seal from his briefcase, and waved it directly in front of the guard's face.

"Look carefully! This is an emergency order from the Supreme People's Procuratorate. I need to immediately interrogate and take away suspect Zhao Ruilong! Get out of the way immediately, or you'll be held responsible for delaying this important matter!"

The guard didn't even blink, and the muzzle of his gun even moved forward half an inch, the hard barrel piercing directly into the chest of Hou Liangping's expensive suit.

"Without orders from Chief Qin or Director Qi, not even the Emperor himself could get in."

"you!"

Hou Liangping was furious.

This is like a scholar encountering a soldier.

He took two deep breaths, preparing to give these soldiers a good lesson with his profound principles, when the heavy iron door of the detention cell slammed open.

The first thing that catches the eye is not the disheveled and disheveled Qi Tongwei who one would expect, waiting for the handover.

It's not a leg.

A pair of legs, dazzlingly white in the morning sunlight, so long and slender they take your breath away.

Ye Cunxin leaned lazily against Qi Tongwei, wearing a large men's camouflage training uniform.

The clothes were clearly ill-fitting, hanging loosely on her body, which only accentuated her alluring figure.

Her original red dress had long since been reduced to strips of cloth, and now it seemed that all she was wearing on her lower body was this training uniform top that just covered her upper thighs. Her two straight and shapely long legs were exposed to the air without any cover, and her skin was as delicate as a freshly peeled egg, radiating a healthy and alluring glow.

She wasn't wearing shoes.

Those delicate, small feet stepped on Qi Tongwei's muddy tactical boots, their toes playfully hooking onto his shoelaces.

Judging from her appearance, any man could tell that this woman had gone through a very exciting "battle" last night.

Moreover, it was the kind of complete conquest.

Hou Liangping was stunned.

He stared at the stunning beauty clinging to Qi Tongwei like a lazy Persian cat, and his mind went blank.

This...this is the legendary kidnapped hostage?

They look like a newlywed couple who just got back from their honeymoon!

Qi Tongwei had half a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and a hint of lingering satisfaction lingered on his cold, stern face.

His sharp eyes swept casually over Hou Liangping, as if he were looking at a clown with ridiculous makeup in a circus.

"Oh, isn't this Director Hou?"

Qi Tongwei exhaled a smoke ring, his large hand blatantly caressing the smooth outer thigh of Ye Cunxin, his tone mocking.

"Why aren't you snuggled up in bed with your wife this early in the morning, instead of running around in this desolate wilderness to starve?"

This scene was extremely impactful.

Hou Liangping felt an inexplicable anger surge straight to the top of his head.

It wasn't just because of Qi Tongwei's dismissive attitude, but also because of that woman.

That wildness and allure that emanated from her very bones, that undisguised adoration and attachment to Qi Tongwei, made this man, who always considered himself a "winner in life," feel a strange sense of defeat and jealousy.

"Qi Tongwei! Mind your place!"

Hou Liangping shouted, trying to mask his inner turmoil with his voice, "Look at the state you're in! In broad daylight, hugging and cuddling with the suspects... with the victim, what kind of behavior is this! This is a serious matter of conduct! Is there any evidence of power-for-sex transactions?!"

"Pfft."

Ye Cunxin couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She straightened up from Qi Tongwei's embrace, her cascading black hair falling casually over her shoulders, with a few strands playfully clinging to her slender neck.

She extended a slender, jade-like finger and pointed it at Hou Liangping's nose, her beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with contempt.

"A transaction of power for sex?"

Ye Cunxin took a step forward.

As she moved, the hem of her wide training uniform lifted slightly, revealing glimpses of her breathtakingly revealing territory, causing several guards around her to quickly turn their heads away.

"Snapped!"

A crisp, clear slap echoed through the empty base.

Hou Liangping covered his face, completely stunned by the blow.

That slap was quick, accurate, and ruthless.

He didn't have any time to react at all.

"You...you dare hit me? I'm the Supreme People's Procuratorate..."

"I'm going to beat you up, you hypocrite who spews filth!"

Ye Cunxin shook her hand, her delicate face now frosty, all traces of the tenderness she had shown in Qi Tongwei's arms moments before gone.

"I am Ye Cunxin! A member of the Ye family in the capital! You accuse me of engaging in power-for-sex transactions? You should take a good look in the mirror, you dare to challenge me?"

"Don't even mention you, even if you called your wife Zhong Xiaoai here, let's see if she dares to yell at me like that!"

"This is only true outside. If this were in Beijing, those words you just said would be enough to strip you naked!"

Hou Liangping's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

The Ye family!

These two words were like a bucket of ice water, dousing him completely.

He certainly knew what the Ye family meant.

That's a top-tier wealthy family that even Zhong Xiaoai's family has to be wary of.

But... how did Qi Tongwei manage to climb up the social ladder to the Ye family? And judging from this woman's demeanor, she's clearly throwing herself at him!

"Alright, Cunxin."

Qi Tongwei reached out and pulled the ruffled little wildcat back into his arms, patting her back reassuringly with his large hand.

"Why waste your breath on someone who only talks the talk? Don't get your hands dirty."

After saying that, he walked up to Hou Liangping and held the so-called "special transfer order" between two fingers.

"Splash!"

That document, stamped with a red seal and representing the highest authority, turned into a shower of scraps of paper in Qi Tongwei's hands.

"You...you're insane! This is blatant defiance of the law!" Hou Liangping's eyes widened, his voice trembling.

"In Handong, or rather, along this border, my rules are the only rules."

Qi Tongwei threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out, an action filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

"I arrested Zhao Ruilong. I was the one who shot him and broke his leg. I was also the one who dug him out of the pile of corpses."

"You want to reap the rewards? To use them to gain political capital?"

Qi Tongwei looked down at his old classmate who had once looked down on him and sneered, "Dream on."

"Qi Tongwei! Are you trying to take it all for yourself?! Do you know how big this case is? Can you handle it?"

"Zhao Lichun is still in that position. Without the intervention of our Supreme People's Procuratorate, what can you use to fight him?!" Hou Liangping said fiercely, trying to make a last-ditch effort.

"Who said he was going to keep it all for himself?"

A sinister voice suddenly came from the side.

Zhong Kui, who had been silent all along, slowly walked over.

He was carrying a silver briefcase, and a rare hint of amusement appeared on his poker face.

"Director Hou, some things may be beyond your authority."

Zhong Kui took out a black ID card from his pocket and waved it in front of Hou Liangping.

That wasn't an ordinary police officer's ID.

That was a special document representing the dual identity of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's special task force and the national security department.

"Zhao Ruilong is not only suspected of economic crimes, but also of serious acts endangering national security, including colluding with foreign armed forces, smuggling strategic materials, and..."

Zhong Kui glanced at Qi Tongwei and added meaningfully, "And the murder of a serving senior police commander."

"According to relevant regulations, such cases are jointly handled by the national security department and the units to which the individuals involved in the operation belong. As for your anti-corruption bureau..."

Zhong Kui shrugged, looking helpless. "Once we've squeezed every last drop of oil out of the bones, maybe we can hand over the remaining scraps to you as a formality."

Hou Liangping's face turned completely pale.

Isolated and helpless.

This is his current situation.

They thought they could dominate the world with their powerful sword, but it turns out the other side had already overturned the table and started afresh.

"Bring them up!"

Qi Tongwei didn't even glance at Hou Liangping again before waving his hand dismissively.

Two fully armed special forces soldiers came out dragging a stretcher.

Zhao Ruilong on the stretcher was no longer recognizable as a human being.

His hair was a mess, like a bird's nest, and his face was covered in dried blood and dirt. His severed leg was simply fixed in place, and he let out two miserable screams like a pig being slaughtered every now and then as the stretcher swayed.

Upon seeing Hou Liangping, a glimmer of light suddenly burst forth in Zhao Ruilong's lifeless gray eyes.

"Monkey! Monkey, save me! I'm Zhao Ruilong! I want to go back to Jingzhou! I want to see my dad! These people are crazy! Qi Tongwei is trying to kill me!"

Zhao Ruilong struggled desperately, as if he had seen a lifeline.

Hou Liangping subconsciously took a step forward.

"Click".

Qi Tongwei casually cocked his Desert Eagle, not pointing it at anyone, but just letting it hang diagonally by his leg.

But that undisguised killing intent was like an invisible wall, forcing Hou Liangping back.

"take away."

Qi Tongwei coldly uttered two words.

Zhao Ruilong was thrown like a dead dog into the huge cargo hold of the Y-20 large military transport plane that was already roaring and waiting nearby.

"Qi Tongwei! You're playing with fire! Secretary Zhao Lichun will definitely not stand idly by! You've ripped open the sky for the entire Handong!" Hou Liangping shouted at Qi Tongwei's back, his voice cracking with exasperation.

Qi Tongwei paused in his steps.

He turned around, still holding the radiant eldest daughter of the Ye family in his arms.

The sunlight shone on his casual clothes, which were still reeking of gunpowder, giving them a golden edge.

"Then let him watch."

Qi Tongwei's lips curled into a cruel smile. "Tell Zhao Lichun that this time, I will not seek peace, nor will I seek complete surrender."

"What I want is the heads of the entire Zhao family to atone for the ten years of wasted youth I've given up!"

"Cunxin, you're gone."

Ye Cunxin turned around, made an extremely provocative face at Hou Liangping who was standing there dumbfounded, and then, like a proud peacock, snuggled up to her man and climbed the gangway.

The enormous roar was deafening.

The transport plane accelerated and taxied on the runway, kicking up clouds of dust and gravel.

The strong airflow hit Hou Liangping's face directly, instantly turning his well-tailored suit a grayish-yellow color.

He awkwardly raised his hand to shield his eyes, and could only watch helplessly as the behemoth took off, carrying the enormous secret that could shake the entire Han Dong officialdom, and roared towards Jingzhou.

Under the shadow of that plane, Hou Liangping felt a chill run down his spine for the first time.

The game has changed.

The senior student Qi, who used to be all about scheming and using any means to climb the ladder, has now become a bloodthirsty beast that he can no longer control.

"Ring ring..."

Just then, the encrypted satellite phone in Hou Liangping's pocket suddenly rang.

He answered the call somewhat blankly.

On the other end of the phone was a deep, authoritative voice, yet with a hint of anxiety.

"Liangping, did you pick him up? This is Sha Ruijin."

Hou Liangping watched the tiny black dot disappear into the clouds, swallowed hard, and felt his throat go dry.

"Secretary Sha...it's too late."

"That madman Qi Tongwei... he doesn't play by the rules at all."

……

At an altitude of 30,000 feet.

Inside the cabin.

As Qi Tongwei gazed at the surging sea of ​​clouds outside the window, the murderous intent in his eyes gradually subsided, replaced by the calm and composure of a hunter about to close the net.

Ye Cunxin was like a docile kitten, curled up in the airline seat next to him, playing with Qi Tongwei's polished lighter in her hand.

"I just can't stand that guy named Hou Liangping."

She curled her lip, her long, white legs swaying in the narrow aisle, forcing Zhong Kui, who was sitting opposite her, to close his eyes and chant a calming mantra. "That hypocritical look, that kind of person is the most disgusting."

"He's a good knife, but the person wielding it is the wrong one."

Qi Tongwei took the lighter and lit a cigarette with a "snap." "Since he doesn't know what's good for him, let's use it in a different way."

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Ruilong, who was shivering in the corner of the cargo hold, with the look in his eyes as if he were looking at a pile of nuclear waste about to explode.

"Zhong Kui, send a telegram home."

Qi Tongwei exhaled a puff of smoke, which blurred his angular face.

"Tell Chen Hai to keep a close eye on Dafeng Factory these next few days."

"That fire should be lit now."

"Since Hou Liangping enjoys investigating cases so much, I'll give him a big gift when we land in Jingzhou."

"A huge gift that forced him to fight Zhao Lichun to the bitter end!"
