Title: Reborn Qi Tongwei, who defies fate by half a move and refuses to kneel

Chapter 147 The Bloodstained Ledger

Sha Ruijin gripped the sofa armrests tightly, his knuckles turning white. He had originally thought it was just an ordinary corruption case, at most resulting in the arrest of a few section chiefs, but he never expected that Qi Tongwei's shovel would dig right up to the foundation of Handong.

This isn't investigating a case; it's digging up the Zhao family's ancestral graves!

"Is this your reason for making arrests across the province tonight?" Sha Ruijin took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart.

"Isn't that enough?"

Qi Tongwei countered with a question.

Ye Cunxin felt a little hot at this moment, and reached out to pull her hair back. This action made her breasts appear even more prominent, faintly visible through the wet fabric, exuding a highly aggressive sexiness.

She lowered her head, rested her chin on Qi Tongwei's shoulder, and looked at Sha Ruijin with a playful expression.

"Secretary Sha, there's even more interesting stuff in this ledger."

Ye Cunxin stretched out her finger and turned to the last page of the account book. The handwriting on it was messy, clearly written in a hurry.

"This page doesn't record money, it records life."

"In 2014, Zhang Ergou, a village representative from Yantai City who was petitioning, died in a car accident. The person in charge was Wang Defa from the Luzhou Public Security Bureau."

"In 2015, whistleblower Li Xiulian committed suicide in a mental hospital. The Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission handled the case..."

With each name Ye Cunxin read, Sha Ruijin's face paled a little more. By the end, the newly appointed top leader was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.

This is not just embezzlement, it's a bloodbath! It has stained the sky of Handong black!

"That's enough!"

Sha Ruijin slammed his hand on the table and abruptly stood up. He paced back and forth in the room, his steps heavy.

Qi Tongwei didn't move. He simply smoked quietly, one hand habitually caressing the outside of Ye Cunxin's smooth thigh. The rough calluses on his fingertips scraped against her delicate, creamy skin, sending shivers down her spine. Ye Cunxin responded with a few soft nasal sounds, her body leaning softly against his chest, her eyes glazed over.

This seemingly frivolous act, at this moment, is actually a form of extreme contempt.

That was a trampling of the entire old order of Handong.

"Director Qi, how did you get this thing?" Tian Guofu swallowed hard, watching the man and woman being so intimate as if no one else was around, and felt his throat go dry.

"That's my business." Qi Tongwei flicked his cigarette ash. "You just need to tell me whether the provincial party committee dares to take on this case."

"If you dare to take them, I'll hand them all over to the Discipline Inspection Commission right now. If you don't dare..."

Qi Tongwei paused, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp as knives.

"Then I'll send them on their way in my own way."

Dead silence.

It was deathly silent again.

The sound of rain outside the window seemed to grow louder, as if it were providing accompaniment for the conversation.

After a long while, Sha Ruijin stopped. He turned around, looked at Qi Tongwei, and his gaze was complicated.

"Qi Tongwei, do you know what this means? It means we're going to completely break ties with that person."

"Face?"

Qi Tongwei seemed to have heard a joke. He stubbed out his cigarette, grabbed Ye Cunxin's slender waist with both hands, lifted her off his lap, and placed her on the desk piled with documents next to him.

Ye Cunxin leaned back, bracing herself on the table with her hands, her long legs crossed, striking an extremely alluring pose. Her tattered black stockings were completely useless, and large swathes of her skin were dazzlingly white under the light.

"Secretary Sha, look at the mess this room is in." Qi Tongwei pointed to the rainy night outside the window. "When has that old bastard Zhao Lichun ever given us any face?"

"He treated Handong as his own backyard and the common people as his slaves."

"Tonight, I'm going to tell him."

"This Handong has changed his surname."

After speaking, Qi Tongwei stood up and straightened his collar.

"I've detained all the people in the provincial detention center. I've also given you the list."

"I want to see the outcome of the Standing Committee meeting tomorrow morning."

"If not..." Qi Tongwei walked to the door, paused, turned around, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips. "Then I will lead my troops to the Zhao family ancestral graves again."

He pulled Ye Cunxin, who was still posing on the table, to her feet. Ye Cunxin obediently jumped down, not even wanting to put on shoes, and followed him barefoot on the carpet.

As she reached the door, Ye Cunxin suddenly turned around, winked at Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu, whose faces were ashen, her peach blossom eyes full of mockery.

"Uncles, remember to turn the air conditioning up. There's a really strong musty smell in this room."

After saying that, the two walked away.

Only the broken door remained, creaking in the wind.

"Madmen...they're two madmen!" Tian Guofu slumped onto the sofa, staring at the black ledger on the table as if it were a nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment.

Sha Ruijin didn't speak. He walked to the window and watched the black SUV rush into the rain again, its taillights leaving a red trail.

"The country is getting richer," Sha Ruijin said, his voice devoid of emotion. "The world is truly about to change."

……

In the car.

As soon as Ye Cunxin got into the car, she completely let loose.

She slung off the cumbersome trench coat and tossed it onto the back seat. Now, she was only wearing a black halter dress that had been torn to the point of barely covering her body, with most of her snow-white back and long, beautiful legs completely exposed to the air.

The car's heater was on full blast.

Ye Cunxin coiled around him like a beautiful snake. She stepped over the center console and squeezed into the driver's seat, landing directly on Qi Tongwei's lap.

"Get out, I'm driving." Qi Tongwei frowned, but his hand honestly supported her round waist and hips to prevent her from falling.

"I'm not driving anymore..." Ye Cunxin cupped his face in her hands, her watery eyes burning with desire. "Let's find a place to stop... I can't take it anymore..."

The oppressive confrontation at the provincial party committee just now, the exhilarating feeling of shattering the heavens, completely ignited every cell in her body. This thrill of running rampant at the pinnacle of power was more potent than any drug.

"The ring road is ahead." Qi Tongwei glanced at the road conditions.

"Just pull over to the side of the road! The emergency lane!" Ye Cunxin kissed his neck frantically, her teeth gently nibbling at his Adam's apple, while one hand slipped inside his belt.

"Tongwei...I want to be in the rain...right here on the hood of this car..."

"I want that old dog Zhao Lichun to hear... how I slept with his gravedigger..."

Qi Tongwei was also aroused by her crazy energy.

"Squeak—"

The SUV suddenly pulled over and stopped.

Qi Tongwei shoved the chair back and turned around, pinning the woman who was spouting lewd words beneath him.

The torrential rain pounded wildly against the car windows, as if trying to swallow the vehicle whole. The car shook violently in the wind and rain, and in that cramped space, only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Meanwhile, in the Zhao family compound far away in the capital.

Zhao Lichun was wearing pajamas, sitting in the rosewood armchair. He held a phone in his hand, but the receiver was busy.

Whether it was Liu Sheng, Wang Dehai, or even his informants planted in the provincial party committee, they all lost contact.

The entire intelligence network in Handong went blind overnight.

"Impressive tactics... Qi Tongwei."
