Although he was puzzled, he remained calm and answered, "Director Feng, Pei Qianqian and I are just ordinary classmates. There's nothing else between us."
Feng Wan Chun seemed unsatisfied with Qi Tong Wei's response. He furrowed his brow and continued, "Sometimes, for the greater good, we have to make some sacrifices."
Qi Tong Wei felt a chill in his heart and understood the meaning behind Feng Wan Chun's words.
He was unhappy in his heart but kept his composure and replied, "Director Feng, I understand what you mean. But I will stick to my principles and won't do anything that goes against my conscience."
At that moment, Feng Wan Chun sat behind his desk, his fingers lightly tapping on the surface, his eyes fixed on Qi Tong Wei before him.
This young captain of the Narcotics Unit was a valuable asset in his eyes, a future hope.
"Tong Wei, how's work going lately? Any difficulties?"
Qi Tong Wei stood up and answered respectfully, "Reporting to the Director, everything is proceeding as usual in the Narcotics Unit recently. We haven't encountered any major difficulties. However, we are also working hard to find new leads and strive to crack even bigger cases soon."
Feng Wan Chun nodded, satisfied with Qi Tong Wei's response.
"Good, Tong Wei, I've always been confident in your work. But you must also pay attention to rest, don't overwork yourself," Feng Wan Chun said with concern.
Qi Tong Wei felt a warmth in his heart and thanked Feng Wan Chun for his concern.
He knew that the Director not only fully trusted and supported him in work but also cared deeply for him in life.
This strengthened his resolve to contribute to the Narcotics work in Han Dong Province.
"Thank you for your concern, Director. I will pay attention," Qi Tong Wei replied respectfully.
Feng Wan Chun smiled and nodded, then took out a beautifully packaged box of tea from his drawer and handed it to Qi Tong Wei, saying, "This is a good tea I brought back from elsewhere. Try it."
Qi Tong Wei took the tea box, knowing it was Feng Wan Chun's recognition and reward, a symbol of his honor and pride as the Narcotics Unit Captain.
"Thank you, Director," Qi Tong Wei stated firmly.
Qi Tong Wei stood up, bid farewell to Feng Wan Chun, and left the Director's office.
On the way back to his office, Qi Tong Wei was filled with confusion.
He didn't understand why Feng Wan Chun suddenly asked about his relationship with Pei Qianqian, nor did he understand why he made such a strange request.
While puzzled, he was mostly uneasy.
Everyone knew that Feng Wan Chun was a man of deep cunning, and the requests he made must have hidden motives.
Back in his office, Qi Tong Wei sat at his desk and fell into deep thought.
He recalled his interactions with Pei Qianqian, and a sense of warmth filled his heart.
They were only university classmates, but their friendship was very deep.
He couldn't imagine how heartbroken he would be if he ruined this friendship because of Feng Wan Chun's request.
After leaving the Director's office, Qi Tong Wei's mood was particularly agitated.
Returning to the Narcotics Division, Qi Tong Wei placed the tea box on his desk and called the team members together for a meeting.
He introduced the source and quality of the tea to everyone and hoped they would share this honor and joy together.
"This is tea that our Director specially gifted to us, I hope you all can enjoy it together," Qi Tong Wei said with a smile.
The team members gathered around, looking at the tea box on the table, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.
This was the Director's recognition and reward for their work, their honor and pride as Narcotics officers.
"Great! Thank you, Captain! We'll definitely enjoy it!" the team members cheered.
Just then, someone suddenly brought up Qi Tong Wei's background and girlfriend's identity.
This topic immediately attracted everyone's attention and discussion.
"I heard the Captain's girlfriend is the Governor's daughter? Is that true?" a team member asked curiously.
Qi Tong Wei was slightly taken aback, he hadn't expected this topic to come up suddenly.
He coughed lightly and then said calmly, "These are personal matters, let's not discuss them."
However, this topic was like a seed, taking root and sprouting in the team members' hearts.
They began to speculate and talk about Qi Tong Wei's background and girlfriend's identity. Some even started to imagine his future career path and life trajectory.
Looking at everyone's excited and curious expressions, Qi Tong Wei felt a bit helpless.
He knew that his identity and background were always a sensitive topic in the public security system, but he didn't want these private matters to affect his work and team.
"Alright, everyone stop discussing," Qi Tong Wei interrupted their discussion, "Let's get back to work. We need to step up our patrol and screening efforts recently. We need to crack bigger cases sooner."
The team members nodded in agreement and started to get busy.
Qi Tong Wei also resumed his work, knowing his responsibility was significant and he couldn't afford any slack or carelessness.
However, just then, a sudden piece of news broke the peaceful atmosphere.
An informant called to report a suspicious drug production site in a remote mountainous area.
This news immediately put Qi Tong Wei on high alert. He knew this was a crucial lead and a major challenge for the Narcotics Unit.
"Assemble all personnel immediately, prepare for departure!" Qi Tong Wei commanded decisively.
