In the Name of the People: I Defy Heaven and Refuse to Kneel

At the moment he took a bullet on Lone Eagle Ridge, Qi Tongwei finally understood: a marriage won by kneeling was a shackle, and pride maintained through sheer stubbornness was a joke.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the year he graduated from police academy.

A voice appeared in his mind: The Officialdom Simulator has been activated.

First simulation: The drug-busting mission at Lone Eagle Ridge

- Choose to shoot: A colleague takes a bullet and dies. The Liang family takes an interest in him, and he becomes a son-in-law used as their pawn.

- Choose a flanking strategy: Everyone survives, he earns commendations, and he avoids the Liang family's notice.

Qi Tongwei chose the latter.

Second simulation: The Liang family hints at a marriage proposal

- Choose to kneel: An unhappy marriage, a career controlled by others, and eventual betrayal by everyone.

- Choose to refuse: He offends the Liang family and is suppressed for a time, but meets a true benefactor and reaches the top ten years later.

Qi Tongwei smiled. "I'll take a third path: I'll find a way in the simulation to make the Liang family shut up."

Simulation after simulation, scenario after scenario.

By the time Hou Liangping arrives in Handong with an investigation team, Qi Tongwei has already laid out the entire board.

Handong is his to command!
