In the Name of the People: My Brother Is My Backer, and Qi Tongwei Wants to Join the Ministry Too

On Guling Ridge, a gun was pressed against his upper jaw. Hou Liangping had already ordered the assault.

Qi Tongwei was one trigger pull away from death. Then his younger brother called: "Give me three minutes."

Three minutes later, provincial Party secretary Sha Ruijin called in person to rescind the arrest order. Hou Liangping's wife warned him to "back off immediately," while Vice Governor Liu spent the night urging Qi Tongwei's promotion to vice-provincial rank.

Overnight, the entire chessboard in Handong was turned upside down.

The Zhong family bowed their heads, Sha Ruijin admitted defeat, and Gao Yuliang was stunned. Everyone frantically searched for the person who could turn the world upside down.

But the only contact name in Qi Tongwei's phone was two characters: Xiao Chen.

The younger brother he'd taken in and raised since childhood was now deep in the Gobi Desert in the northwest. He hung up and calmly dialed another number. "Ziqing, help me get someone out."

You think he can defy fate and change his destiny?

All the high-ranking officials in Handong put together aren't worth a single call from him.

The most satisfying face-slapping is when you don't even know who your opponent is.

The ultimate comeback is this: my brother isn't on the chessboard. He's the one flipping the table.
