Moreover, Gao Xiaoqin has a great talent for business. If she regains her freedom, she could go to the Great Han Empire to help her with some business matters.
Therefore, both for the public good and for personal reasons, Gao Xiaoqin must be saved!
"no problem."
"Your Majesty, I will arrange for someone to hand over Gao Yuliang and Gao Xiaoqin to you. As for what happens to them in the future, we will not interfere."
Zhong Zhenguo readily agreed.
After all, they had already agreed to so many of Qi Tongwei's requests, so one or two insignificant ones wouldn't make a difference.
"Thank you very much."
Qi Tongwei smiled and nodded.
Then, he looked at Sha Ruijin, who was sitting behind Zhong Zhenguo, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Secretary Sha, I don't think Handong Province will issue a warrant for my arrest anymore, right?"
Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin quickly waved his hand in a flustered manner, managing a forced smile.
"Your Majesty is joking. You are now the Emperor of the Great Han Empire. How could we dare to issue an arrest warrant for you? I..."
He thought Qi Tongwei was going to settle scores with him later, so his expression became very tense.
He's the emperor now, and that's no joke.
He's just a nobody in the small province of Handong, nothing compared to a big shot like Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei's words just now made him feel a little scared.
Zhong Zhenguo was also stunned for a moment.
He naturally understood the grudges between Qi Tongwei and Handong Province, but in his opinion, the matter was already in the past. Qi Tongwei was now the Emperor Qi, so he probably wouldn't pursue those trivial matters.
But Qi Tongwei's behavior just now made him nervous.
Could it be that he wants to bring up the old story again?
If that's the case, then it's really going to be troublesome.
"hehe."
Qi Tongwei smiled and said calmly.
"Don't be nervous. As I just said, it's hard to judge right and wrong in some things. I won't dwell on the past. I'm not that petty."
"However, I did work in Handong Province for so many years, and this time I have come back for a rare trip, so I want to host a banquet for my old friends. Let's put everything aside, sit down together and have a good meal, which can be considered as a way to completely let go of the past."
At this point, Qi Tongwei looked at Zhong Zhenguo and said with a smile.
(8) "Elder Zhong, is my request reasonable?"
Er Zhongzhenguo's expression was unusually strange.
(iv) He discovered that Qi Tongwei was a really complicated person, and he found that he could hardly see through him.
San coughs.
"Your Majesty, is your request really that simple?"
Thinking of the fright he had just experienced, Zhong Zhenguo couldn't help but ask a question.
"Of course."
Qi Tongwei gave a faint smile.
“I, Qi Tongwei, am not as petty and despicable as you think.”
"I'm not here to seek revenge this time. Besides discussing cooperation, my other plan is to catch up with old friends."
Seeing that Qi Tongwei didn't seem to be joking, Zhong Zhenguo finally believed what he said.
"Very well, since Emperor Qi is interested, we have no reason to refuse."
"Ruijin, go and make the arrangements."
Sha Ruijin nodded quickly.
"Yes, elder."
……
Handong Province.
Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai were having dinner when his phone suddenly rang.
The call was made by Sha Ruijin.
"Honey, I'm going to answer a phone call."
After Hou Liangping finished speaking, he walked aside to answer the phone.
Zhong Xiaoai didn't pay much attention, after all, Hou Liangping was the director of the anti-corruption bureau, and he was busy with countless phone calls all day long.
She has long been used to it.
But a short while later, Hou Liangping suddenly walked over, his face looking unusually serious and solemn.
Zhong Xiaoai looked up and, thinking something serious had happened, her expression turned serious.
"Honey, what's wrong? Did something happen again?"
Hou Liangping remained silent, maintaining the same expression as before.
Upon seeing this, Zhong Xiaoai's heart sank.
"Hurry up and tell me, I..."
Just then, Hou Liangping said something that left her speechless.
"Xiao Ai, I just received a notice from above that my senior brother is going to treat us to dinner in the capital and we need to get there as soon as possible."
what?
Eat...a meal?
Zhong Xiaoai stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her face filled with astonishment.
Qi Tongwei treated them to dinner?
Did something go wrong?
She knew that Qi Tongwei was visiting the Dragon Kingdom as the Emperor of the Great Han Empire, and that the news had already caused quite a stir.
Not to mention, her father is Zhong Zhenguo!
That's precisely why she found it somewhat unbelievable.
Although they had some past connections with Qi Tongwei, he was now the emperor of the Great Han Empire; his status and position were undeniable, so why would he possibly invite them to dinner?
Moreover, Qi Tongwei had a serious falling out with her husband, Hou Liangping, before this.
This clearly doesn't make sense! 4.
Coming to her senses, Zhong Xiaoai looked at Hou Liangping and asked in disbelief. (Eight)
"Are you talking nonsense? Why would they invite us to dinner?"
"It's good enough that he doesn't hold a grudge against you."
Hou Liangping saw that Zhong Xiaoai still seemed somewhat skeptical, and he gave a helpless, bitter smile. (Nine)
"It's true. Secretary Sha just called me. He told me himself; he wouldn't joke about something like this."
Uh! Wu
Zhong Xiaoai was stunned.
She knew, of course, that Sha Ruijin wouldn't joke about this.
Is this true?
But, it shouldn’t be!
Qi Tongwei has a grudge against Handong Province. He probably hates very few of his former colleagues, because almost the entire criminal investigation system in Handong Province was involved in the previous arrest operation.
In a way, they were all Qi Tongwei's enemies!
Zhong Xiaoai couldn't understand it any better the more she thought about it.
She looked at Hou Liangping and asked the question that had been bothering her.
"Honey, something's not right. Why would your senior brother invite us to dinner for no reason?"
Hou Liangping shrugged, a helpless, bitter smile appearing on his face.
"I'd like to know the answer to that too."
"Alright, whatever the reason, since our senior brother invited us, we have to go, both for personal and professional reasons. Let's pack up and head to the capital."
Although Zhong Xiaoai still couldn't quite understand, she didn't say anything more. She gave Hou Liangping a deep look and then turned around to make preparations.
Government compound.
Gao Yuliang was watching TV at home.
Just two days ago, he was clearly notified by his superiors to prepare for retirement procedures.
Gao Yuliang felt both relieved and helpless about this.
He was relieved that his superiors allowed him to go through the retirement procedures, which clearly meant they didn't want to pursue his case any further.
What saddened him was that from now on, he would have to leave the official career he had dedicated his life to and live a life of leisure.
To be honest, he was very unwilling.
Because he was an ambitious man, and he still had great aspirations to fulfill.
But all opportunities are gone!
Retirement, becoming a carefree hermit, is perhaps the best possible outcome for him.
However, even though he understood this, he was still in a bad mood.
So these past few days, besides working in the fields, he's been staying home watching TV.
He was naturally aware of Qi Tongwei's visit to China.
However, he now takes a more relaxed approach to this matter.
He owes his current success to Qi Tongwei and doesn't want to cause him any more trouble.
The news he was watching on TV was about Qi Tongwei leading a group of high-ranking officials from the Great Han Empire on a visit to the Dragon Kingdom.
He was still somewhat shocked.
Because this time, Qi Tongwei was personally greeted by Zhong Zhenguo!
This is the highest standard ever!
Only heads of state from military superpowers and developed countries receive such treatment during their visits.
But now, even a newly established Han Empire can receive such treatment.
This is evident from this point.
How much the Dragon Kingdom values Qi Tongwei and the Great Han Empire!
But none of this had anything to do with him.
Because he is himself, and Qi Tongwei is Qi Tongwei. Although they were once master and disciple, now that Qi Tongwei has become the emperor of the Great Han Empire, that bond has probably long since faded.
Just then, his phone rang.
Gao Yuliang glanced at the number, his gaze hardening.
Because the call was actually from Sha Ruijin.
Sha Ruijin and he had never gotten along. Before anything happened, the other party rarely called him. Now that he was in such a predicament, Sha Ruijin was even less likely to call him unless something was wrong.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
The call today must be about something important.
With that in mind, he answered the phone without further hesitation.
A few minutes later.
