Hou Liangping arrested a hawkish general, and his father-in-law panicked

How could she go back?

Leaving Hou Liangping here alone?

She can't.

My fingers slid across the cold phone screen, scrolling through the names in the address book one by one.

These people were once guests of honor in her and Hou Liangping's social circle, friends with whom they could chat and laugh, and peers or subordinates.

But now, Zhong Xiaoai knew clearly that none of these people dared to answer her call, and no one dared to lend a helping hand at this time.

Her finger finally stopped on a name - Qi Tongwei.

She and Hou Liangping had mocked this senior in private more than once.

They laughed at his earth-shaking kneeling in front of the old secretary's grave, laughed at his opportunistic attitude of doing anything to climb up, and laughed at his words "What is a hero in front of power? A tool."

In the eyes of these chosen ones, Qi Tongwei is a clown, a poor guy whose soul has been distorted by power.

But now, this clown whom she despised the most was the only straw she could think of to grasp.

She closed her eyes and pressed the screen hard with her fingertips, almost breaking it.

The call was dialed.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Every sound of waiting was a trial for her arrogance and past innocence. ...

In the temporary command room of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Qi Tongwei held the vibrating cell phone. The three words "Zhong Xiaoai" on the screen were like a red-hot iron, burning his eyelids so much that they twitched.

She called at this time?

At this juncture?

Qi Tongwei's first reaction was to hang up.

He didn't even have time to hide from this matter, so how could he take the initiative to get involved?

The Zhong family has a strong background, but behind Zhao Yuanchao stands the entire military!

It’s heaven!

What the hell is Qi Tongwei?

Do you dare to mess with this?

However, he thought that Zhong Xiaoai and Hou Liangping were his junior classmates after all.

If you can help out, please do so.

However, his finger hovered over the hang-up button and was reluctant to press it.

My mind was racing.

What does the Zhong family represent?

It was a potential, huge favor after Hou Liangping failed to overturn his conviction.

It is a stepping stone that may be useful in the future when the storm passes and Qi Tongwei wants to take another step forward.

The risks are huge, but so are the temptations.

Isn’t Qi Tongwei just gambling all his life?

From a poor student to the director of the Public Security Bureau through gambling, every step was like walking on a tightrope.

The phone continued to ring stubbornly.

He glanced around, lowered his voice, and finally swiped the answer button and put the phone to his ear.

"Hello, I'm Qi Tongwei."

There was no emotion in his voice, as steady as a pool of stagnant water.

There was a burst of rapid breathing from the other end of the phone, followed by a suppressed and trembling female voice.

"Senior Qi, I'm Zhong Xiaoai, can you help me?"

The words "Senior Qi" made Qi Tongwei's eyes twitch slightly.

How long has it been since he heard this name?

Ever since graduation, the people in the Political Science and Law Department of Handan University, especially Hou Liangping, have looked at him with nothing but contempt and alienation in their eyes.

They called him "Director Qi" with deliberate respect in their tone, reminding him that he was no longer the high-spirited senior student he used to be, but just a cog in the bureaucratic system.

Now, Zhong Xiaoai used this title to beg him.

At this moment, when Zhong Xiaoai was on the phone, she remembered Gao Yuliang scolding Qi Tongwei: "You arranged for an illiterate farmer to be an auxiliary police officer! Are you planning to arrange for all the stray dogs in your village to be police dogs so they can also eat a share of the government rations?"

Zhong Xiaoai and Hou Liangping would laugh at it whenever they mentioned it after dinner.

However, at this time, Zhong Xiaoai discovered that the only person willing to help her was Senior Qi, who had arranged for the stray dogs in the village to be police dogs...

……

I really have tried my best.

Three consecutive updates to make up for the update I owed yesterday.

Continue with three updates in the afternoon.

I will definitely learn how to write articles and would appreciate your advice.

Chapter 53: General Zhao Yuanchao was tortured in Hou Liangping’s interrogation room.

Inside the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Qi Tongwei answered Zhong Xiaoai's call.

"Xiao Ai."

"This is a very difficult matter. Very difficult."

For Qi Tongwei, this matter was a complete disaster and he took a huge risk.

"I know... I know it's hard..."

There was a cry in Zhong Xiaoai's voice.

"But Liangping... please, senior, you are the only one who can help me!"

The arrogant eldest daughter of the Zhong family almost begged.

"Hou Liangping has caused a huge mess this time. It's a huge mess. There's no way he can get away with it. You must be mentally prepared for this."

He said the ugly words upfront and cleared himself of all charges.

There was a hopeless silence on the other end of the line.

Just when Zhong Xiaoai's heart sank to the bottom, Qi Tongwei changed the subject.

"However, I can ask you to wait outside the emergency room of the Handong Military Region Hospital. If General Zhao wakes up safely, you can be the first to know the news."

This is the limit of what he can do, and after weighing the pros and cons, it is also the move with the least risk and the greatest possible benefit.

This is both a gesture of goodwill and a gesture.

Zhong Xiaoai on the other end of the phone was stunned.

She expected a cold rejection or a hypocritical excuse.

She was even prepared to be humiliated.

But she never expected that when her father ordered her to leave and she felt that the whole world had abandoned her, the only person who reached out to her was Qi Tongwei, the person she and Hou Liangping despised the most.

A huge warm current suddenly rushed into her heart, making her nose sore and her eyes instantly red.

She remembered how she and Hou Liangping evaluated Qi Tongwei at home.

They said he was opportunistic and spineless.

But now?

Those so-called "friends", those people with "guts", were all silent.

But this person whom they despised gave her hope.

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai felt a burning pain on her face.

It turns out that when it is necessary to kneel down, everyone will kneel down.

It's just a different posture.

Her voice trembled with excitement, but it carried an unprecedented determination.

"it is good!"

She almost yelled.

"I'll go! I'll kneel in front of the military hospital!"

Qi Tongwei was also stunned for a moment while holding the phone.

He didn't expect Zhong Xiaoai's reaction to be so intense.

The woman on the other end of the phone said, almost swearing, word by word, "I will kneel until the general forgives Liang Ping!"

"Senior Qi,"

She spoke again, the tears in her voice gone, replaced by a desperate calmness: "Thank you. I know what to do."

After a pause, she spoke clearly, word by word, "I'm going to the military hospital now. I'm not leaving."

"I...I'm going to kneel in front of the military hospital!"

"I will kneel until General Zhao wakes up, until he... forgives Liang Ping!"

She was once a favored child of heaven, a child who grew up in a large compound in the capital. From childhood to adulthood, how could she have ever suffered such humiliation?

kneel?

This word does not exist in her life dictionary at all.
