In the Name of the People: Defying Heaven and Fate, No Longer a Doormat

A bullet passed through his jaw, and Qi Tongwei thought he was finally free.

But when he opened his eyes again, he was lying in Liang Lu's bed, his jaw perfectly intact. The calendar had turned back to the early morning of the day the Dafeng Factory incident began.

The humiliation of being looked down on by Hou Liangping in his dream, the shame of being mocked by Li Dakang in public, and the despair of being treated as a disposable pawn by Gao Yuliang were all still vivid in his mind.

This time, he would no longer kneel and beg for an official post, and he would never let anyone use him as a weapon again.

Putting on his police uniform, he looked in the mirror and said, "Not this time."

Zhao Donglai's call came right on schedule, but Qi Tongwei was no longer the indecisive man he used to be.

"I'll take responsibility." With those four words, the entire political chessboard of Handong changed hands.
