Hou Liang Ping’s plane had just landed, and Qiu Jun’s evidence of the ‘deal’ between Qi Tong Wei and Zhao Jia Liang, in the form of photos, had already been sent to his phone.
As well as the information Qiu Jun had gathered about Zhao Jia Liang’s immigration records and overseas business activities.
Although Zhao Jia Liang’s personal information showed that he was engaged in foreign trade business in Hong Kong and had occasional dealings with mainland China.
But as a disciplinary inspector, Hou Liang Ping felt that Zhao Jia Liang was not as simple as he appeared.
Because, from the personal information retrieved from the internal system, Zhao Jia Liang, before becoming a Hong Kong businessman, was a sailor.
But how did he go from a shipping company employee to a Hong Kong tycoon?
This period of his life, however, was completely blank.
As if he had disappeared for those ten years.
Therefore, Hou Liang Ping concluded that Zhao Jia Liang was definitely suspicious!
And Qi Tong Wei was doing business with such a person, obviously, Qi Tong Wei himself was also suspicious!
Hou Liang Ping couldn’t help but start thinking.
Why did Qi Tong Wei go from a small town police officer to the head of the Dongshan City Anti-Drug Squad, skipping three levels?
Was there someone behind him helping him along the way?
Was it Zhao Jia Liang who was secretly helping him grease the wheels?
This was a typical example of collusion between officials and businessmen!
“Finally, I’ve caught you red-handed!”
Hou Liang Ping’s face showed a hint of a triumphant smile.
He didn’t even bother to rest after his flight, quickly hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Dongshan Grand Hotel!
As evening fell, Zhong Xiao Ai was packing her luggage in her hotel room.
After talking to Qi Tong Wei yesterday, Zhong Xiao Ai called Chen Yang.
She told Chen Yang about Qi Tong Wei returning the laptop.
But she didn’t mention their conversation.
Chen Yang, after learning that Qi Tong Wei hadn’t changed his mind despite her expressing her feelings, but had instead returned the laptop, was immediately devastated. Tears streamed down her face.
She didn’t want to show her vulnerability to Zhong Xiao Ai, so she simply thanked her and hung up the phone.
Zhong Xiao Ai placed the phone on the bed and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Looking at her reflection in the glass window, she suddenly realized that she no longer recognized the person in the reflection.
What was wrong with her?
She had only met Qi Tong Wei once. Even if she had saved his life, she could simply compensate him later.
Why was she making such a fuss?
But Zhong Xiao Ai had always been the apple of her family’s eye.
She had always gotten whatever she wanted.
She had never experienced any major setbacks.
But this trip to Dongshan, Zhong Xiao Ai was inexplicably kidnapped by the gangster as a hostage.
At that moment, Zhong Xiao Ai felt that she was so close to death.
Maybe others wouldn’t understand, but at that moment, Zhong Xiao Ai had a moment of thought that she was going to die!
When a person who has never faced life’s setbacks is on the brink of death, the feeling of despair and helplessness is particularly strong.
However, at that moment, Qi Tong Wei, like a ray of light, appeared in Zhong Xiao Ai’s life.
He had pulled Zhong Xiao Ai back from the edge of death.
When Qi Tong Wei was carefully bandaging Zhong Xiao Ai’s wounds, at that moment, Zhong Xiao Ai, who had just escaped death, felt an unprecedented sense of peace.
Suddenly, Zhong Xiao Ai felt that the world, which had always been so boring, had come alive.
And it all stemmed from Qi Tong Wei.
She had never felt so drawn to a man before.
From Qi Tong Wei, Zhong Xiao Ai experienced a sense of security she had never felt before.
This sense of security was completely different from the security she had received from her father and grandfather.
It was a feeling of complete trust and reliance!
If she missed Qi Tong Wei, Zhong Xiao Ai knew she wouldn’t be able to accept it!
Besides, wasn’t Qi Tong Wei already broken up with Chen Yang?
Since Qi Tong Wei was single, why couldn’t she compete with Chen Yang?
Thinking about this, Zhong Xiao Ai’s guilt towards Chen Yang completely vanished.
If you want something, you have to work hard to get it!
Chen Yang couldn’t give up everything to follow Qi Tong Wei, but she, Zhong Xiao Ai, could!
She would go back and talk to her father and ask him to help her transfer her organizational affiliation to Dongshan!
Wherever Qi Tong Wei was, she would be there!
Zhong Xiao Ai secretly made up her mind.
Just as Zhong Xiao Ai was halfway through packing her luggage.
Suddenly, the room door was pounded on.
Zhong Xiao Ai frowned.
When she was discharged from the hospital, she had already cooperated with the police to give a statement.
Could there be some other procedures to be done?
Then, Zhong Xiao Ai opened the door.
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t the police standing outside, but Hou Liang Ping!
Zhong Xiao Ai was stunned, “Hou Liang Ping? What are you doing here?”
Hou Liang Ping first looked around the room to see if there was anyone else. After confirming that Zhong Xiao Ai was alone, he felt a little relieved.
He said, “Xiao Ai, I’m here to take you back to the capital.”
Zhong Xiao Ai frowned, “You flew all the way from the capital just to pick me up?”
Hou Liang Ping nodded, “When I saw the news about you almost getting hurt, I wasn’t at ease, so I immediately bought the earliest flight here.”
If it had been any other time, Zhong Xiao Ai might have enjoyed Hou Liang Ping’s attentive flattery.
For a while, under the encouragement of her family, Zhong Xiao Ai thought that choosing Hou Liang Ping as her life partner might be a good idea.
He was handsome, came from a good family, and was a good match for her.
So, while Zhong Xiao Ai hadn’t agreed to Hou Liang Ping before, she hadn’t refused either. She wanted to observe him more before making a decision.
But after Zhong Xiao Ai had escaped death and had her heart set on Qi Tong Wei.
Zhong Xiao Ai inexplicably found Hou Liang Ping a little annoying.
I’m not your girlfriend or anything.
At most, we’re just blind dates arranged by our families.
Why did you come all this way to pick me up?
What if Qi Tong Wei sees us and thinks we’re a couple?
Thinking about this, Zhong Xiao Ai nervously glanced at the hotel corridor, then said seriously to Hou Liang Ping, “Hou Liang Ping, there’s something I need to talk to you about. Don’t get upset.”
Hou Liang Ping’s heart sank, and his heart plummeted to the bottom.
His biggest fear had come true.
He was about to stop Zhong Xiao Ai from speaking.
But Zhong Xiao Ai beat him to it and said directly, “Hou Liang Ping, after careful consideration these past few days, I think we’re not suitable for each other.”
She looked straight into Hou Liang Ping’s eyes and said, “So, let’s just be friends, okay?”
