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

Chapter 156 Director Qi, your wound needs disinfection.

The black Audi, like an exhausted but still ferocious beast, covered in mud and scratches, roared into a secluded hillside villa area in Jingzhou City.

The engine shut off, and the world seemed to fall silent instantly.

Qi Tongwei had just unbuckled his seatbelt when the passenger door was pushed open. Ye Cunxin didn't wait for him to get out; she simply stepped over from the other side. Her oversized, dark blue police raincoat was already disheveled from the bumpy ride. With her movement, large expanses of her fair skin shone dazzlingly in the dim garage light.

She was like a boneless cat, sliding into Qi Tongwei's arms and wrapping her long arms tightly around his neck.

"Hold me."

Ye Cunxin tilted her head back, her usually arrogant peach blossom eyes now filled with tears, and the corners of her eyes still had a trace of lingering redness. A few strands of wet hair clung to her delicate collarbone, winding down along the deep and alluring cleavage and disappearing into the edge of the barely visible black lace.

Qi Tongwei looked down at her, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

This woman is simply a monster.

Having experienced the carnage of that night in Luzhou Port, she felt no fear whatsoever. Instead, it was as if the smell of blood and gunpowder had ignited some kind of primal force within her, making her exude an extremely dangerous yet deadly allure.

"When did the eldest daughter of the Ye family forget how to walk?"

Qi Tongwei joked, but his actions betrayed his words. He bent down, scooped Ye Cunxin up by the knees, and lifted her horizontally in his arms.

"That's because you don't know..." Ye Cunxin buried her face in his neck, her warm breath spraying onto his throbbing arteries, her voice so soft it could drip water, "Just now in the car... my legs went weak."

With a mischievous glint of her tongue, she gently licked Qi Tongwei's earlobe.

Qi Tongwei's muscles tensed instantly. He picked her up and strode forward, kicking open the villa door and heading straight for the master bedroom on the second floor.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked shut.

Before Qi Tongwei could even place her on the bed, Ye Cunxin clung to him like an octopus, refusing to get off. Her long, straight, beautiful legs were tightly wrapped around Qi Tongwei's strong waist, and her raincoat had already slipped onto the carpet. At this moment, she was wearing nothing but a tattered set of black lace lingerie.

The lingerie was already a sexy style, and now, after the previous struggle, several straps had broken off, hanging precariously on those two proud, snow-white mounds, which only made their overflowing fullness even more breathtaking.

"Don't rush."

Qi Tongwei pressed down on her small hands that were groping haphazardly on his chest, his voice hoarse as if he had a handful of sand in his mouth.

"Treat the wound first."

"I'll help you."

Ye Cunxin slid off him, her bare feet landing on the soft wool carpet. She pushed Qi Tongwei to sit on the edge of the bed, then turned to go to the bathroom to get the first-aid kit.

A moment later, she returned carrying a suitcase, but this time she was wearing Qi Tongwei's white shirt.

The man's shirt looked exceptionally large on her, the hem barely covering the top of her thighs. As she moved, her two smooth thighs alternately appeared and disappeared beneath the hem, a seductive allure that was even more captivating than her previous directness.

Qi Tongwei took off his shirt, which was already soaked in blood, revealing his strong and muscular back. It was covered with old and new wounds, especially the gash left in the cabin that night, where the flesh was torn and gruesome.

Ye Cunxin's hand holding the alcohol swab trembled slightly.

The cool alcohol touched the burning wound, and Qi Tongwei's back muscles suddenly contracted, his lines hardening like steel.

"Does it hurt?" Ye Cunxin leaned closer and gently blew on it.

Her full breasts were almost pressed against Qi Tongwei's back, and the thin fabric of her shirt could not block their amazing elasticity and warmth.

"What's this little injury?" Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette, but Ye Cunxin snatched it from his mouth after he had just taken a puff.

"I want one too."

Ye Cunxin took a breath from his hand, then leaned down and wrapped her arms around his neck from behind. She pressed her whole body against him, her slender hands tracing down Qi Tongwei's hard abs, her fingertips radiating an electric current as she provocatively circled his taut V-line.

"What we didn't finish at the dock..." Ye Cunxin whispered in his ear, her voice seductive to the core, "Shouldn't we continue?"

Qi Tongwei turned around, grabbed her slender waist, and pushed her down onto the bed.

Looking at the beautiful face beneath him, and the dazzling expanse of white skin beneath the open collar of her shirt, Qi Tongwei's reason finally crumbled.

"You asked for this."

He leaned down and kissed that chattering little mouth, his rough hands roaming over her smooth, silky skin, igniting a wildfire wherever they touched.

……

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and fell onto the messy bed.

Ye Cunxin curled up in the blankets like a lazy cat, her exposed shoulder covered with specks of red plum blossoms. Qi Tongwei was already dressed and standing by the window answering a phone call.

The call was from Zhao Donglai.

"Director, um... there's been a problem." Zhao Donglai's voice was trembling with suppressed anger. "There's been a problem with the placement of those children."

Qi Tongwei's eyes sharpened, the tenderness of last night vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling killing intent.

"explain."

"The provincial hospital did accept them, but a deputy director of the Health Department named Liu Wei is holding back the procedures and preventing the use of special drugs and imported equipment." Zhao Donglai cursed, "He said these kids have unclear identities, no household registration, and no medical insurance. Who will pay for this several million yuan? If no one reimburses them in the end, it's a loss of state-owned assets."

"Also, Liu Wei said this matter involves a transnational case, and we have to wait for a formal letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before we can proceed with the special approval process. Those critically ill children are still lying in the emergency room corridor right now!"

"Loss of state-owned assets?"

Qi Tongwei sneered, a laugh born of extreme anger.

"Wasn't the 200 million yuan that Gao Yuliang embezzled state-owned assets? Wasn't the more than 10 billion yuan that Zhao Ruilong absconded with state-owned assets? These bastards didn't think about the loss when they turned poverty alleviation funds into money to buy lives, but now that they've saved a few lives, they're starting to talk to me about procedures?"

"Wait there, I'll be right there."

Qi Tongwei hung up the phone and turned to leave.

The blanket on the bed stirred, and a fair arm reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Something happened?" Ye Cunxin sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes. The blanket slipped off, revealing her private parts, but she didn't care at all.

"It's just a little trouble." Qi Tongwei tucked the blanket around her. "You can sleep a little longer."

"I'll go too."

Ye Cunxin threw off the covers and jumped out of bed naked. Her perfect body gleamed like ivory in the morning light; her waist was slender, her legs were long, and she had all the right amount of flesh in the right places without an ounce of excess fat.

In front of Qi Tongwei, she unabashedly picked up the shirt from the ground and put it on, sneering as she buttoned it: "Dare to try and sabotage you at this critical juncture? This person is either a remnant of the Zhao family or has shit for brains. I'll go see who has the guts."

Twenty minutes later.

Emergency room lobby of the First People's Hospital of Handong Province.

This area has been temporarily designated as a restricted zone. The air is thick with the smell of disinfectant and the muffled sounds of crying. Dozens of stretchers are lined up in the hall, and the rescued children are all emaciated, some with tubes still inserted in their bodies.

Several doctors and nurses in white coats were in a panic, holding prescriptions but unable to collect their medication.

Next to the nurses' station, a balding, middle-aged, overweight man was holding a thermos and speaking slowly and formally to Zhao Donglai.

"Director Zhao, it's not that I'm not cooperating. This hospital has its own rules and regulations. So many children, and all these medications are imported; each injection costs two or three thousand yuan. Who's going to pay for that? The provincial finance department doesn't have any special allocation for this. What if an audit comes up and we find out? Who's going to take the blame?"

"Director Liu!" Zhao Donglai was furious, his face flushed and his neck bulging. "A life is at stake! Save the person first, okay? I swear on my police uniform!"

"Oh dear, Director Zhao, your police uniform is valuable, but it can't cover this debt of several million." Liu Wei pushed up his glasses, looking helpless. "Besides, many of these children can't even say their names, and it's not even certain if they're from Handong. If we use our province's medical insurance quota, how are we going to explain this to the taxpayers?"

"Snapped!"

A thick medical record folder landed directly on Liu Wei's shiny bald head.

Liu Wei cried out in pain, clutching his head and about to curse when he looked up and saw a tall figure blocking the light in front of him.

Qi Tongwei stood in a crisp police uniform, the police inspector's insignia on his epaulets gleaming under the lights. His hawk-like eyes were fixed on Liu Wei, as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Director Qi...Director Qi..." Liu Wei's legs went weak, and he almost dropped the thermos.

Qi Tongwei ignored him and walked straight to the stretcher.

Lying on the stretcher at the front was a little girl of six or seven years old, so thin she was just skin and bones. In her empty sleeve, there was a long-healed incision on her wrist—a mark of something being removed before she was sold onto the ship.

At that moment, she was convulsing due to a high fever, unconsciously calling out "Mommy".

Qi Tongwei crouched down and reached out to touch the child's burning forehead. The touch felt like a red-hot iron, searing straight into his heart.

This is what the Zhao family calls "targeted poverty alleviation."

This is what Gao Yuliang referred to as a "vanity project".

They turned living, breathing people into cogs in a machine, and the future of the nation into food and drink on their dinner tables. Now, although these bloodsuckers are in jail, the mess they left behind, and these bureaucratic maggots, continue to gnaw at the lives of these children.

"Where's the miracle drug?" Qi Tongwei stood up, his voice so calm it was frightening.

Liu Wei swallowed hard and forced himself to approach, "Director Qi, this...it's not that I don't want to give it to you. It's just that the finance department can't record it..."

"Go to your mother's account!"

Ye Cunxin walked out from behind Qi Tongwei. Although she was wearing a simple white shirt and jeans, the clothes accentuated her voluptuous figure, especially her large, round breasts, which made the shirt buttons tucked tightly. With each step, they swayed precariously, creating a sense of oppressiveness that was hard to look away from.

She held a black gold card in her hand and threw it directly at Liu Wei's fat face.

"There are ten million here."

Ye Cunxin, wearing high heels, still looked stunning with her long, slender legs, even tucked into jeans. She crossed her arms and glanced disdainfully at the group of bureaucrats in white coats.

"Is this enough to buy all the medicine in your lousy hospital? If not, I'll have my family transfer another hundred million!"

Liu Wei's hands trembled as he held the card. This was the eldest daughter of the Ye family; he wouldn't dare offend her even if he had ten lives.

"That's enough... that's enough..."

"That's enough! Get your medicine now!" Qi Tongwei kicked over a nearby trash can with a loud thud, silencing the entire hall.

"Zhao Donglai!"

"arrive!"

"From now on, this hospital remains under the control of the task force." Qi Tongwei pointed at Liu Wei. "Cuff him!"

"Huh?" Liu Wei was dumbfounded. "Director Qi, I... what law did I break? I was just following the rules!"

"Follow the rules?" Qi Tongwei walked up to him, grabbed his tie, and tightened it so much that Liu Wei's eyes rolled back.

"These children are victims of human trafficking; they are citizens of this country! According to the Emergency Rescue Law, no public hospital may refuse or delay treatment for any reason! Are you trying to use provincial procedures to override national laws?"

Qi Tongwei released his grip and threw him on the ground like trash.

"I now suspect that you have illicit dealings with organ trafficking rings and are deliberately delaying to kill me and cover it up."

"Take him away! Surprise interrogation! I refuse to believe this multi-million dollar life-saving fund couldn't be approved; there's something fishy going on!"

"Yes, sir!" At Zhao Donglai's command, two special police officers pounced on Liu Wei like wolves and tigers, and immediately handcuffed him behind his back.

Watching Liu Wei being dragged away like a dead dog, the hospital's administrative staff fell silent, and no one dared to utter a single word about "money."

In less than five minutes, all the emergency access channels were opened, and boxes of imported special medicines that had been held up in the pharmacy were sent into the emergency room like a flowing stream.

Qi Tongwei stood in the center of the hall, watching the doctor hang an IV drip on the little girl, and the child's breathing finally stabilized a bit.

"Thanks," he said to Ye Cunxin beside him.

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Ye Cunxin tossed her hair, her captivating charm leaving several young doctors nearby speechless. "I've already spent all my dowry money, shouldn't Director Qi consider repaying me with his body?"

When no one was looking, she secretly nudged Qi Tongwei's inner thigh with her knee, her eyes full of mischief and ambiguity.

Qi Tongwei grabbed her wrist, and just as he was about to say something, a rapid notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding! The system detected that the host not only upheld the dignity of the police at a critical moment, but also safeguarded the dignity of life with swift and decisive action.]

[Your dignity level has skyrocketed!]

[Hidden reward triggered: Grandmaster-level Medical Insight (can reveal potential lesions in the human body and the best treatment plan).]

[System notification: The real storm is not over. Although Zhao Lichun is feigning illness, his trump card—the unfinished "Crescent Lake" project—is the nuclear bomb buried beneath Handong.]

Qi Tongwei narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing deep in his pupils.

Crescent Lake?

Alright. Since we're going to settle accounts, let's uproot these old grievances completely!
