The team members sprang into action. They knew this was a crucial mission, an opportunity to showcase their abilities.
Qi Tong Wei quickly formulated a plan and led the team to their destination.
The mountain road was rugged, and the vehicle bounced violently.
But Qi Tong Wei and his team members showed no sign of retreat or fear.
It was a dangerous mission, but they understood their duty and purpose.
After several hours of arduous travel, they finally reached their destination.
However, as they prepared to launch their operation, they discovered the place was empty.
Evidently, the drug trafficking ring had received prior warning and fled the scene.
Looking at the empty drug den, Qi Tong Wei felt a surge of anger and frustration.
It was a provocation, a defiant act by the drug trafficking ring, a major blow to their anti-drug squad.
“We cannot give up!” Qi Tong Wei declared firmly. “We must continue to track down leads and bring this drug trafficking ring down!”
Back at the squad, Qi Tong Wei's presence was always striking.
He was young but already prominent, his rapid promotion drew attention.
Whenever the colleagues gathered, the conversation would inevitably turn to the young and capable Captain Qi.
“Did you hear? Qi Tong Wei's rapid promotion is thanks to someone behind him,” a voice whispered from a corner, like lifting a veil of secrecy.
“Who doesn't know about his girlfriend's father? His connections span the entire country,” another voice chimed in, laced with envy.
Qi Tong Wei was aware of these whispers.
But he never let them bother him. He understood that in the complex world of officialdom, resources sometimes mattered more than ability.
But he firmly believed that only the power of justice could truly drive societal progress.
As the discussion continued, news arrived: Gao Yu Liang, the newly appointed mayor of Luzhou City, was about to arrive in Yantai. Qi Tong Wei, as a member of the city government team, would be part of the welcoming party.
This news caused a stir.
“Looks like Captain Qi is truly in a position of power, even the mayor receives him personally,” someone remarked.
“Yeah, I heard he has a teacher-student relationship with the mayor, the mayor holds him in high regard,” another added.
As the motorcade rolled in, Qi Tong Wei emerged.
Dressed in a sharp suit, a confident smile on his face, he seemed to have the world under his control.
His presence put a subtle pressure on everyone present.
Once the motorcade stopped, Qi Tong Wei stepped out first, shaking hands with Mayor Gao. Their conversation, though brief, revealed the depth of their relationship.
Then, Qi Tong Wei led the city government team into a flurry of work.
During his time in Yantai, Qi Tong Wei showcased his outstanding work ethic and leadership.
He not only personally handled every task but also constantly encouraged his team to be proactive, take responsibility, and strive for excellence.
Under his leadership, the city government team worked with enthusiasm and significantly improved their efficiency.
However, while everyone was immersed in their busy but organized work, news arrived that shattered the calm.
Rumors circulated that Qi Tong Wei's acting captain position was about to be confirmed, making him the official captain of the anti-drug squad.
This news instantly sparked widespread interest among his colleagues.
“It looks like Captain Qi’s future is bright,” someone sighed.
“Yeah, but some say he has a powerful background, he might not stay in the anti-drug squad long-term,” another voiced a different opinion.
These discussions spread through the corridors, but Qi Tong Wei seemed unconcerned.
He knew that in the world of officialdom, where people are, there's a social hierarchy, and where there's a social hierarchy, there's conflict.
He never feared these conflicts, believing his abilities and sense of justice could overcome anything.
While the discussion was in full swing, Qi Tong Wei suddenly appeared.
He didn't directly participate in the discussion, instead, he stood quietly on the sidelines, listening to everyone's comments.
“Actually, you’re all right,” Qi Tong Wei spoke up suddenly. “In this world of officialdom, resources and connections are indeed important. But what I want to say is, these resources are not tools to be used for personal gain, but for serving the cause of justice.”
Silence descended upon the room.
Everyone stared at him in astonishment, as if struck by his words.
Qi Tong Wei gave a slight smile and continued:
“I know there’s a lot of speculation and discussion about me, but I don’t care. I just hope everyone understands one thing: in this world, there’s nothing more important than justice. Only the power of justice can truly drive societal progress and development.”
...
Gull Hawk Ridge, a place that had once brought Qi Tong Wei fame in his past life, then led to his downfall, now brought him renewed pain.
However, Qi Tong Wei did not dwell on the glories and failures of his past life. His eyes were set on the future, on the dark places that desperately needed to be cleansed.
Yantai City was shrouded in countless shadows of evil.
Drug crime was like a greedy beast, devouring innocent lives and corrupting the fabric of society.
Qi Tong Wei knew the weight of his responsibility.
He wasn’t afraid of sacrifice, but he sought meaningful contributions, not silent oblivion.
