Official Career Storm Chapter 1604

For Song Guanchao, there were only two choices: either negotiate or go all the way to the end.

But negotiation wasn’t so easy; why should the other side believe them?

To make them believe, there’s only one path: to collude with them.

But Song Guanchao didn’t want to do that.

So for him, he only had one choice: to go all the way to the end.

He restarted the vehicle, and Lu Feng and others also followed.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in a place with little traffic and few people.

He got out of the car and walked over, and Lu Feng and Li Zhijun also ca over.

Song Guanchao tossed them a cigarette and said, "Sothing unexpected happened."

"The leaders of Pinghai City have realized that we’re investigating them."

"Also, the Mayor and others have been detained."

"Detained?" Lu Feng asked, "Weren’t they taking the high-speed train?"

"They were intercepted."

"Hiss~ What’s going on?" Lu Feng didn’t understand, "Wasn’t this matter very secretive? How did they find out?"

"Not clear." Song Guanchao shook his head, "No point discussing this; let talk about the plan."

"You arrange for two people to return to the Pinghai Hotel, keep an eye on that room. If they wake up, knock them out again."

Song Guanchao handed him the mobile phones of the two police officers.

On the phone, Director Chen only ntioned having lunch with him and didn’t bring up Su Nanzhi.

So Song Guanchao guessed that Director Chen didn’t know Su Nanzhi had been rescued.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so polite on the phone.

And through this, we can deduce that they knew we were investigating them since yesterday.

Because the decision to rescue was made today.

And Song Guanchao suspected that the reason they decided to relocate Su Nanzhi was likely because they discovered we were investigating them.

In that case, before lunch ends, we can’t let them know that Su Nanzhi was rescued.

"Okay, I got it." Lu Feng nodded and accepted the phone, "What else?"

"There are two more things."

Song Guanchao said with a thoughtful tone, "First, arrest people!"

"Arrest who?"

"The second generation!" Song Guanchao said, "Arrest all the children of the city committee mbers for , but rember, don’t alert the snake!"

"I’m good at making arrests!" Lu Feng was very skilled at this, and he asked again, "What’s the second thing?"

"The second... help prepare so things." Song Guanchao squinted his eyes, flicked the ash off his cigarette, and stated what he wanted him to procure.

After hearing it, Lu Feng and Li Zhijun both widened their eyes, "Damn, squad leader, this... what if we get discovered?"

"Afraid of what?" Song Guanchao laughed and cursed, "It’s just a bunch of incompetents occupying positions and eating food, if they can find out, then sothing’s seriously wrong."

"Alright, go get prepared. I’m going to et soone in a while."

After assigning their tasks, Song Guanchao went online to check the mbers of the inspection team coming to Pinghai City and their contact information.

The team responsible for Pinghai City was the 12th Inspection Group, with a total of 12 mbers.

The inspection team mbers were drawn from various departnts, and generally speaking, the inspector serving as the group leader had the highest rank and, unless they made mistakes, they would be assigned an important position once the inspection was completed.

He checked, and the 12th Inspection Group’s leader was nad Huang Ronghua, the forr Deputy Governor of Xishan Province.

According to the information he had, so mbers of the inspection team were colluding with the leaders of Pinghai City and had been corrupted.

But who exactly and how many people weren’t clear.

In Song Guanchao’s experience, the probability of the inspection group leader being corrupted was the lowest.

Because there’s no need to.

As long as the group leader finishes the inspection, they will almost imdiately be assigned to an important position.

Inspection itself is an assessnt of them, both character and ability.

Huang Ronghua was already a Deputy Governor, and the next step up would be a Provincial Ministerial Level official.

The political future at the Provincial Ministerial Level, and the gains from collusion, any normal person would know which to choose.

Local officials also surely understood this, so they were unlikely to attempt to bribe Huang Ronghua actively.

In summary, Huang Ronghua was unlikely to have any issues.

He dialed the inspection group’s phone number.

"Beep beep..."

Soon, the call was connected, and Song Guanchao breathed a sigh of relief.

Generally, it’s difficult to get through to the inspection group’s phone.

The reported phone numbers left are mostly just for show.

Getting connected ans this inspection group is not just going through the motions but is actually working.

"Hello, this is the inspection group stationed in Pinghai City..."

Before the operator finished speaking, Song Guanchao had already hung up.

He was calling just to verify if he could get through; he wasn’t foolish enough to try to contact Huang Ronghua through a reported phone.

Besides, the operator couldn’t possibly give the group leader’s phone to an unverified identity.

He imdiately called Lu Zhizhong.

"Two things." As soon as the call connected, Song Guanchao got straight to the point: "First, help find the phone number of the inspection group leader Huang Ronghua in Pinghai City, and send it to ."

Lu Zhizhong reacted quickly: "Okay, what’s the second thing?"

"Second, have Governor Li pick so reliable people to co to Pinghai City. Also, contact the provincial police departnt and Liang Jianfeng to form a team to co to Pinghai City. Call when they arrive."

Lu Zhizhong was taken aback: "Is it ti to take action?"

"Yes." Song Guanchao said succinctly, "The situation is exposed. Mayor Wu and others are currently being held; I’ll rescue them at noon."

"Once the people arrive, arrest imdiately."

"In the anti, Pinghai City might issue a notice to defa and slander Mayor Wu and others. Coordinate with Secretary Gao and be prepared."

The information ca fast and unexpectedly, and even Lu Zhizhong took a few seconds to catch up with his thoughts.

"I understand." Lu Zhizhong’s voice was heavy.

A few minutes later, Lu Zhizhong sent over the number for Huang Ronghua from the inspection group.

Song Guanchao imdiately dialed the number: "Hello Mr. Huang, are you available to speak now?"

Huang Ronghua didn’t know who the caller was, but it was his private number, so not just anyone could get it.

"Yes, I am."

"I am the Director of Jiangzhou Municipal Governnt Office, Song Guanchao."

Huang Ronghua hadn’t heard of this na: "What does Director Song want with ?"

"If it’s convenient, Mr. Huang, could we et to talk?"

"Now?"

"Yes, now."

"Director Song, why don’t you tell what this is about first? I’m quite busy."

He wasn’t too keen on eting, mainly because Song’s rank was too low.

Although he wasn’t sure how Song got his number, what significant matters could an official of his level have?

Moreover, he was a Jiangzhou official, and his remit was Pinghai City; even if there was a report, it shouldn’t be directed to him.

The connection seed unlikely, and he didn’t want to waste his ti.

Song Guanchao said, "The Mayor of Jiangzhou City, Wu Qiangwei, has been detained by the Pinghai City Governnt."

"Hmm?" Huang Ronghua’s tone changed to a serious one: "Are you in Pinghai City?"

"Yes." Song Guanchao said, "We are investigating the corruption in Pinghai City. If you’re interested, Mr. Huang, we can et to discuss. If not, then forget it."

This ti, Huang Ronghua didn’t hesitate: "Let’s et and talk."
