I'm going to beat you up!

Staff members of the provincial procuratorate recognized Qi Tongwei, a prominent figure who had first received a first-class merit medal from the Ministry of Public Security and then risen to the position of vice governor, enjoying great prominence!

It's fair to say that if Gao Yuliang, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the political and legal affairs committee, hadn't been taken away by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the most discussed topic in the officialdom of Handong Province right now would be this Vice Governor Qi!

However, Gao Yuliang's investigation had a huge impact, throwing the entire public security, procuratorate, and judicial system of Handong Province into chaos. Everyone was on edge, fearing that they might get caught in the crossfire.

The staff of the provincial procuratorate certainly didn't dare to offend Qi Tongwei, so they hurriedly explained, "Governor Qi, we don't know the specifics either. Our bureau chief instructed me to come and seal it up."

Another staff member chimed in, "Yes, the director said it would be best to vacate the house and renovate it before the new secretary arrives..."

"The bureau chief? Hou Liangping?"

Qi Tongwei, hands on his hips, was instantly furious. His hands trembled as he took out his phone to call Hou Liangping, but unexpectedly, Teacher Wu stopped him.

"Tongwei, forget it. We're going to move out sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't matter."

Qi Tongwei shook his head firmly, refusing, "Teacher's wife, listen to me, let me handle this!"

With that, Qi Tongwei dialed Hou Liangping's number and roared angrily, "Hou Liangping, come to Teacher Yuliang's house right now!"

"Immediately, right now!"

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei forced a smile and looked at Wu Huifen, comforting her, "Teacher's wife, although our teacher has been taken away by the Central Inspection Team, I'm still here. As long as I'm in Handong, no one can bully you!"

Wu Huifen looked at Qi Tong with a relieved expression, "Tongwei, thank you..."

"Madam, I'm the one who should be saying thank you. I owe my teacher, and I owe you, a debt I can never repay in this lifetime!"

Hearing his teacher's wife thank him, Qi Tongwei felt incredibly guilty and remorseful. He knew very well how he earned his first-class merit and the title of vice governor. He could say that without his teacher, he wouldn't be where he was today!

Nowadays!

Just today, the teacher was taken away by the Central Inspection Team, and the Provincial Procuratorate is now trying to kick his wife out of the villa. This is simply outrageous!

A dozen minutes later, Hou Liangping arrived in the provincial procuratorate's official vehicle, looking travel-worn. When he saw the provincial procuratorate holding a seal and Wu Huifen still carrying her luggage, he understood what had happened.

Qi Tongwei looked at Hou Liangping, his gaze icy, and said, "Hou Liangping, was it you who had the prosecutors drive away your teacher's wife and seal up the villa?"

"It's me, is there a problem?" Hou Liangping frowned slightly and questioned him firmly, "Vice Governor Qi, you don't think that just because Teacher Gao was taken away by the Central Inspection Team, Teacher Wu can still stay here, do you?"

"Okay, even if I don't arrange for the prosecutor's office to seal off the villa, how long can Teacher Wu stay there? Can Teacher Wu stay there with peace of mind?"

"So, you mean your wife should thank you?" Qi Tongwei's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water. He angrily rebuked, "Hou Liangping, no need for such high-sounding words. Don't you just want to be promoted to deputy chief prosecutor and want the new secretary's support?"

"Making so many excuses, isn't that hypocritical?"

Hou Liangping wasn't too surprised that Qi Tongwei had seen through his little scheme, but being called hypocritical to his face naturally made him want to retort, "Qi Tongwei, you went so far as to cry at Zhao Lichun's grave to curry favor with him, what right do you have to criticize me?"

"I'd rather cry at a grave than be a live-in son-in-law!" Qi Tongwei retorted sarcastically, "I don't understand how someone like you, a live-in son-in-law who lives off a woman, has the nerve to mock me?"

A ferocious glint flashed across Hou Liangping's face, but he concealed it well. Words like "marrying into the wife's family" and "living off a woman" were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the depths of his heart.

He and Zhong Xiaoai have been married for so many years, and no matter how hard he tries, in the eyes of outsiders, he is still a "son-in-law" and a "gold digger," which is a pain that will never go away in his heart!

Hou Liangping took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and forced himself to remain calm, saying, "Qi Tongwei, Gao Yuliang has been placed under investigation. This No. 3 compound of the Provincial Party Committee must be vacated. Your attempts to stop it are useless!"

"Shuanggui?"

"Does it have to be made available?"

"It didn't work?"

These words completely ignited the anger that had been building up in Qi Tongwei's heart for days. He strode up to Hou Liangping and slapped him across the face.

"Snapped!"

The decisive slap left the provincial procuratorate staff stunned.

Hou Liangping staggered back two steps, instinctively covering his burning face with his hand, staring at Qi Tongwei with disbelief, "Qi Tongwei, are you crazy? You're openly assaulting the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau in broad daylight!"

"I'm going to hit you!"

Not satisfied, Qi Tongwei stepped forward and slapped him hard across the other cheek, shouting angrily, "This slap is on behalf of our teacher! You betrayed your teacher and deserve this!"

He slapped her again with his backhand!

"This slap was delivered on behalf of my teacher's wife. It's for your ingratitude; you deserve it!"

Seeing that Hou Liangping was protecting his face with his hands, Qi Tongwei kicked Hou Liangping in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.

"This kick was for Fangfang. You were distracted, you deserve it!"

Seeing Hou Liangping curled up on the ground clutching his stomach, Qi Tongwei was still not satisfied. Pointing at him, he shouted sternly, "Hou Liangping, remember this: don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"

"Furthermore, as long as the teacher is not convicted, his wife can stay here as long as she wants—that's my statement!"

Hou Liangping's face flushed red. He stood up unsteadily, his hand trembling as he pointed at Qi Tongwei, "Qi Tongwei, you wait! Obstructing the Provincial Procuratorate's law enforcement and openly assaulting the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau—even if you're the Vice Governor, you can't protect yourself!"

Qi Tongwei walked over to Teacher Wu, picked up his luggage, and went inside, saying loudly, "Whatever!"

Back inside, Wu Huifen looked at Qi Tongwei anxiously, "Tongwei, you were too impulsive! Hou Liangping is, after all, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate. You beat him up in broad daylight; you'll definitely be punished!"

"Teacher's wife, let him be punished then." Qi Tongwei said indignantly, still feeling unsatisfied, "I've wanted to beat him up for a long time. Back in school, if the teachers hadn't gone against everyone's wishes to make him the student council president, would he be where he is today?"

"That ungrateful bastard deserves to be beaten!"

……

The Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Vice President Lü Hongzheng chaired the meeting, which was attended by Liu Haiyang, Director of the National Development and Reform Commission; Zhang Shengli, Director of the General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission; Qian Cheng, Minister of Finance; Bian Chongyang, President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; and Wu Tongsheng, President of the Supreme People's Court.

The meeting had only one theme: to approve new energy projects, legislate on them, and discuss specific details.

To be honest, launching a new project is like crossing a river by feeling for stones; no one has any relevant experience, and everything is in the exploration and experimentation stage.

For example, issues such as the amount of replacement subsidies, the application and disbursement process for scrapping subsidies, and how to prevent automakers from misappropriating national subsidies are all under urgent discussion.

Just as everyone was talking animatedly, Vice President Lü's phone suddenly rang. He answered the phone in front of everyone: "Hello, this is Lü Hong."

The next second, Lü Hong suddenly stood up and said with delight, "Comrade Yuliang has arrived?"

"This is a lifesaver! Come quick, I'm waiting!"
