In the Name of the People: Qi Tongwei at His Peak, Turning Himself In from the Start

At Lone Eagle Ridge, the net closes in from every side.

Listening to Hou Liangping’s righteous voice calling on him to surrender over the loudspeaker, Qi Tongwei closes his eyes. The two-way portal System quietly activates.

With one step, he returns to the turbulent years of decades past.

Faced with the era’s most secretive strategic agency, he doesn’t offer a single word in his defense. Instead, he slaps down a copy of the Blueprint for a Strong Nation: A Hundred-Year Technology Plan, along with projections of the upheavals awaiting the coming decades.

“I’m handing over the future, along with myself.”

“Let me win this life, even if only by half a move!”

…

When he steps through the portal again, only one second has passed in the wind atop Lone Eagle Ridge.

But this time, Qi Tongwei lowers the gun in his hand.

Watching the task force close in and Sha Ruijin prepare to spring the trap from the command vehicle, he calmly dials a top-secret hotline that has been sealed away for decades.

The next second, alarms blare in the highest strategic archives in the capital.

A file designated [No. 001: Sword-Bearer of the Nation’s Destiny] is forcibly activated after decades in hibernation!

As a helicopter bearing the highest-level security insignia tears through the rainy night above Lone Eagle Ridge;

As Sha Ruijin, sweating profusely, receives the classified call ordering him to “stop all operations immediately and follow the other party’s instructions”;

Qi Tongwei looks down at Hou Liangping’s suddenly changing expression and straightens his collar.

“Liangping, you want to talk to me about the law?”

“Today, your senior is going to teach you a lesson: what a crushing advantage really looks like.”

In this game, the chess piece has leapt off the board.

It’s time for the skies over Handong to change color.
