Chapter 161 Someone is playing dirty tricks
But the good times didn't last long, as unexpected events happened.
On this day, he faced his first challenge.
That is, the water pipe in his house burst, and a large amount of mud and sand flowed out of it.
Qi Tongwei frowned and said, "It's over, it's over, it's completely over. I'm afraid we've been targeted by the bad guys this time. Is it possible that we won't have any problems eating or drinking water from now on?"
"No way? Are they so powerful? Do you want to use my father's power?"
Liang Lu was very nervous, she felt that this matter was not easy to handle.
Qi Tongwei's brows were furrowed, his eyes searching the mud and sand for possible clues, but he found nothing except the fact that the water pipe was broken.
He knew that this might be a small accident, but in his heart, he always unconsciously linked everything to the political struggle.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
Liang Lu looked at Qi Tongwei, her eyes full of worry.
She knew that Qi Tongwei's past made him extremely sensitive to any disturbance.
She gently held his hand, trying to give him some comfort.
"Let's not panic,"
Liang Lu said, "Maybe it was just an accident. We can contact the property management and ask them to send someone to check it out."
Qi Tongwei nodded, he knew Liang Lu was right.
He took out his cell phone and called the property management.
Soon, the property maintenance personnel came to his home and began to check the condition of the water pipes.
After checking, the maintenance personnel told them that the water pipe burst due to disrepair and was not caused intentionally.
After hearing this, Qi Tongwei finally felt relieved.
He felt a little ashamed that he had made such a small matter so complicated.
Liang Lu looked at Qi Tongwei's relieved expression and smiled slightly.
She knew that Qi Tongwei needed time to adapt to this peaceful life and no longer associate everything with political struggles.
"It seems that we need to redecorate this home."
Liang Lu suggested.
Qi Tongwei agreed to Liang Lu's proposal, and they began to plan how to renovate the home to make it more warm and comfortable.
However, they haven't finished the work yet.
There were cracks in the house over there.
In an instant, everything is moving towards unknown danger.
"These damn bastards actually broke our house into pieces. It seems like we have to deal with them. I'll find some idle people in society to deal with them later."
Qi Tongwei said angrily.
Liang Lu quickly stopped Qi Tongwei and said, "Tongwei, don't be impulsive! We can't solve the problem in such an extreme way anymore."
Qi Tongwei frowned, the anger in his heart still lingering.
Liang Lu pulled Qi Tongwei to sit down and patiently advised: "We are finally living a peaceful life now, we can't go back.
If the house is cracked, we can solve it through formal channels, such as negotiating with the property management or the developer.”
Qi Tongwei remained silent, but was thinking about Liang Lu's words in his heart.
After Liang Lu's persuasion, Qi Tongwei temporarily suppressed his anger.
The two decided to go to the property management to report the situation first, but the property management kept making excuses and was unwilling to take responsibility.
This made Qi Tongwei furious again, and he almost lost his mind again.
Liang Lu held Qi Tongwei's hand tightly and gave him a firm look.
They decided not to rely on the property but to contact the developer directly.
The developer was also perfunctory at first and tried to shirk responsibility with various excuses.
Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu did not give up. They collected evidence, consulted lawyers, and prepared to protect their rights through legal means.
In fact, they could have borrowed Liang Qunfeng's power, but Qi Tongwei did not do so to avoid being accused of bullying.
"The houses developed by these developers are rubbish. They are really overestimating their own capabilities."
"Yes, the quality of their house is not good, but they still refuse to admit it. It's really unreasonable. They should have dealt with it properly earlier."
Qi Tongwei said angrily: "This is simply challenging our bottom line. We can't let them go so easily!"
Liang Lu responded: "Don't worry, we have the evidence in our hands now, the law will give us justice."
They ran around, reported the situation to relevant departments, and spoke out in many ways, attracting social attention and supporting Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu.
But at this time, in a dark corner, there was a group of messy guys doing some messy things, all of which were serious crimes against food safety.
"Cracks have already appeared in Qi Tongwei's house. Let's see what he will do."
Scarface said viciously.
"Hmph, this time we must let him know how powerful we are!" A tall and thin man next to him echoed.
Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu were still busy with the house matters and had no idea about the conspiracy in the dark.
As social attention continued to increase, the developer finally felt the tremendous pressure, its attitude softened, and it began to actively negotiate a solution with Qi Tongwei and his wife.
Just when things seemed to be moving in the right direction, Qi Tongwei discovered something wrong.
He received an anonymous letter suggesting that if he did not give up pursuing the issue of the house, he would face greater trouble.
Qi Tongwei was not intimidated by the threat. Instead, he became more determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
He began to secretly investigate the mastermind behind this and discovered that the gang that Scarface belonged to had close ties with the developer.
Not only do they commit crimes in the real estate sector, they are also involved in a series of illegal and criminal activities, especially serious crimes that seriously endanger food safety.
Qi Tongwei was fully aware of the seriousness of the matter and decided to put aside the dispute over the house for the time being and devote his energy to exposing the crimes of this criminal gang.
He and Liang Lu worked closely together again. Liang Lu used her connections to collect intelligence, while Qi Tongwei analyzed clues based on her past experience.
During the investigation, they encountered many dangers.
Once, when Qi Tongwei was following a suspect alone, he was almost discovered. Fortunately, he cleverly hid in an alley and escaped.
Liang Lu also received threatening phone calls, but she did not back down at all.
After some hard work, Qi Tongwei finally got the key evidence.
However, just as he was about to hand over the evidence to the police, the criminal gang sensed the danger and decided to take action against him.
One night, Qi Tongwei was attacked by a group of masked men on his way home.
He fought back hard, but was outnumbered and suffered multiple injuries.
