The phone connected, and Jiang Wangshan introduced himself.
Xu Chengcheng exchanged a few pleasantries with him, not bringing up the main topic.
Jiang Wangshan disliked beating around the bush and directly proposed his solution.
"Let's move past this?" Xu Chengcheng seed to have heard a funny joke, and asked, "Did Mayor Qiu introduce to you?"
Jiang Wangshan: "He did."
Xu Chengcheng: "It seems Director Jiang wants to oppose ?"
Jiang Wangshan felt a chill in his heart: "Mr. Xu, you're mistaken, I just hope this issue doesn't escalate. It won't be good for anyone if it does."
Xu Chengcheng chuckled softly and hung up without responding.
Jiang Wangshan frowned and put down his phone; Xu Chengcheng's attitude was quite firm.
They won't rest until Song Guanchao's reputation is tarnished.
He pinched his brow, pondered for a mont, then turned back to the conference room.
Mayor Qiu observed his expression upon his return.
There was a hint of seriousness in his brows, it seed likely that he had spoken with Xu Chengcheng.
Moreover, Xu Chengcheng must have applied so pressure on him.
He smiled and withdrew his gaze, picked up his tea cup, and blew on the steam.
Jiang Wangshan did not sit down and said directly: "In the case of Song Guanchao's intentional injury, there are fabricated evidence and false statents. I will report all details of this case to the Ministry of Public Security in three days."
Mayor Qiu's smile froze and he squinted at him.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Director Jiang?" With Xu Chengcheng's backing, Mayor Qiu regained his confidence, and wasn't too intimidated by this envoy from Beijing.
Jiang Wangshan remained expressionless: "Mayor Qiu should know the truth of the case better than I do."
"These three days are the ti I am giving you."
"If you withdraw the charges within three days and deal with Captain Sun and six police officers, I can pretend this never happened."
After saying this, Jiang Wangshan turned to leave.
Hall Director Qi and others also stood up to leave.
After they left, Director Chen appeared sowhat nervous: "Mayor Qiu, what should we do?"
Mayor Qiu's face was angry.
What else can we do? Of course, contact Xu Chengcheng.
"Mr. Xu, Director Jiang..."
He described the situation briefly.
Xu Chengcheng was rather surprised but only slightly.
"I'll handle it."
Xu Chengcheng coldly laughed.
Who do you think you are, Jiang Wangshan?
Dare to pressure ?
Xu Chengcheng found a number and called: "Mayor Xu..."
...
After exiting the branch bureau, Hall Director Qi asked: "Director Jiang, did you encounter sothing?"
He had just noticed that when Jiang Wangshan returned from being with Mayor Qiu, his expression beca unusually grave.
Obviously, soone behind Mayor Qiu had stepped in.
If even Jiang Wangshan felt pressured, the identity of the person behind must be extraordinary.
Jiang Wangshan lit a cigarette, took two forceful puffs, and forced out a smile: "The other side brought out a big player."
A big player?
How big?
Now Hall Director Qi was extrely curious about Lu Zhizhong's background.
Perhaps through this big player, he could roughly gauge the extent of Lu Zhizhong's background.
Thinking of this, Hall Director Qi directly asked: "What level approximately?"
Jiang Wangshan pondered for two seconds, saying: "Soone in the other family held a national top-level leadership position."
Hall Director Qi didn't imdiately comprehend the aning of "national top-level".
After two seconds, his expression suddenly beca grave, and his eyelids jumped violently.
National top-level ans commonly known as state-level leadership!
Which ans, in the other family, there was once a mber of the Politburo Standing Committee!
Know this, leaders of such a caliber are quite few!
Hall Director Qi, this big figure as chief of the Provincial Public Security Bureau, was deeply impacted at the mont.
For a County Party Secretary, the City Secretary is an almost insurmountable peak in their political career, but there is at least hope.
But for a City Secretary, they may never in their life beco a Provincial Committee Secretary.
The higher you go in officialdom, the harder it gets!
Connections, background, money... the resources needed at each step in climbing are imnse, beyond typical officials' reach.
Reaching the top position in the provincial bureau is already extraordinary.
But he clearly knew, this top position would likely be the end of his career.
Moving further up was nearly impossible.
The gap between him and a state-level leader was astonishingly vast!
Even for a governor like Provincial Secretary Gao, without strong recomndations, there's no possibility of moving up.
It's no exaggeration to say, provincial-level leaders and state-level leaders are entirely different worlds.
The forr must still tread cautiously, with one misstep leading to complete downfall.
While the latter, during their tenure, see their family influence solid and unshakeable.
No violation or disciplinary issue can affect them.
The only thing that can impact them is internal strife!
This is why, upon learning that the other family once produced such a level of leadership, Hall Director Qi was so unsettled.
The higher the official rank, the more one understands the imnse power such leaders wield.
Even when retired,
an old lion is not sothing re chickens can offend.
Qu Xiangru was also sowhat bewildered; the person Song Guanchao offended this ti has such terrifying background?
No wonder the other side dared to directly cross provinces for arrest.
Beyond astonishnt, deep worry ensued.
But soon, this worry dissipated.
Qu Xiangru suddenly noticed a detail.
Jiang Wangshan did not back down because of the other's identity.
This indicates that the connections behind Lu Zhizhong are not weaker than the other's!
Qu Xiangru slightly relaxed, exhaling a breath, but was soon filled with curiosity.
She was intrigued and baffled about where Lu Zhizhong derived these connections.
Moreover, if he had such strong connections, why for so many years had he remained just a City Secretary?
He only recently got promoted?
Did he just recently forge these connections?
Qu Xiangru couldn't quite understand.
...
Hospital.
Song Guanchao held Lin Wanqiu's petite hand, telling her so flirtatious jokes, occasionally touching her sensitive spots, making her giggle lightly or shyly glare at him.
Knock knock.
A knocking sound ca from outside, and Lin Wanqiu quickly patted his hand.
Song Guanchao withdrew his hand, leaning comfortably against the bed.
The ward door was pushed open, and several young figures stepped in.
Lin Wanqiu turned to look; they were all familiar faces.
Li He, Chen Haoran, Liu Dezhu... and Minister Tang's granddaughter, Tang Xiaomi.
Knowing Song Guanchao was in the hospital, they quickly ca over, wanting to make so impression.
"Sister Wanqiu." Tang Xiaomi called sweetly.
"You've co." Lin Wanqiu smiled gently, rising from her chair.
Song Guanchao smiled: "Why did you all co?"
He was both surprised and unsurprised.
Obviously, their parents requested them to co over.
Tang Xiaomi giggled: "Heard Brother Song was bullied, we specifically ca to stand up for you!"
Clearly, as the granddaughter of the Ministry of Public Security's head, she spoke more like a thug.
Li He and the others weren't as relaxed as Tang Xiaomi, appearing sowhat restrained.
Song Guanchao said: "Since you're here, take this chance to have fun, I'll treat you to a al once the matter is resolved."
At this mont, Lin Wanqiu's phone rang suddenly; it was a call from the TV station director.
"You all chat first, I'll take a call."
She stepped out of the hospital ward and answered: "Hello, Director Zhu."
