Official Career Storm Chapter 316

Director Qin began speaking, and Mayor Zheng’s recently-ford smile once again froze.

He naturally knew what Director Qin was about to say.

"Go ahead."

"Yesterday afternoon, I personally led a team to investigate at No. 31 Jianning Road and gathered so information."

Director Qin said, "Firstly, we can confirm that the specific location for the high-speed rail land acquisition was indeed leaked."

"The residents of No. 31 Jianning Road were involved in various illegal constructions, unauthorized additions. It’s almost like they were farming houses; the houses grew by four or five ters in just half a month."

This kind of situation was very common.

Whenever there were rumors of demolition or land acquisition, residents would imdiately engage in illegal construction, trying to ask for more compensation.

"Half a month?" Song Guanchao suddenly frowned and asked, "Director Qin, when did these residents receive the demolition news?"

Director Qin said, "About twenty days ago."

"That’s impossible!" Song Guanchao imdiately shook his head, rejecting his statent.

Director Qin was dissatisfied. "This is the result of my personal investigation. Apart from No. 31 Jianning Road, several other areas designated for the high-speed rail also had similar cases. Nearly all started unauthorized constructions about twenty days ago."

Song Guanchao frowned and fell silent.

After a few seconds, he showed a look of suspicion. "That can’t be right, the project docunts were stolen just last week. Twenty days ago, I still had the project docunts in my possession."

"Moreover, only Mr. He and I knew the high-speed rail project route and the areas that needed land acquisition."

"How did these residents know beforehand about the need for land acquisition and demolition?"

As soon as he said this, the eting room suddenly fell silent.

The others hadn’t sensed an issue before, but his reminder made them see the problem.

Yes, twenty days ago, the project docunts hadn’t yet been lost.

So how did these residents know about the demolition and land acquisition news?

An idea surfaced in everyone’s mind: Soone had leaked the information beforehand!

But, who could it be?

Song Guanchao could be eliminated first.

That left only the high-speed rail project engineer, He Songming!

Director Qin also sensed his implication and kept silent, not joining in the conversation.

Song Guanchao said, "After the project docunts were lost, I went to the Disciplinary Committee with Mr. He, so it couldn’t have been him who leaked the information."

So people who knew the inside story, like Secretary Wang, were starting to feel uneasy.

He understood what Song Guanchao ant by his words.

He wanted to direct the suspicion towards Mayor Zheng!

Even Li Jun was beginning to catch on.

Besides Song Guanchao and Mr. He, only one other person had access to the project docunts.

That person was Mayor Zheng!

Realizing this, Li Jun shuddered slightly, aware of the gravity of the situation.

He suddenly rembered that day Mayor Zheng had asked him to leave the project in Song Guanchao’s hands...

The entire situation beca clear in his eyes.

From the beginning, this project seed to be a trap set by Mayor Zheng targeting Song Guanchao.

He intended to fra Song Guanchao!

However, with the simple move of the project docunts being stolen, Song Guanchao had easily broken what seed like an impregnable setup.

Not only had he broken it, but looking at the current situation, he was about to turn the tables!

"Besides you and Mr. He, who else knew about the high-speed rail project docunts?"

The one who asked was Xu Xin!

He was one of Mayor Zheng’s people!

Mayor Zheng’s eyes were stern, Xu Xin as if she heard nothing.

"Besides and Mr. He..."

Song Guanchao displayed a thoughtful expression, as if he was really contemplating.

Suddenly, he blurted out, "And Mayor Zheng!"

Once this statent was made, even the slowest leaders present could sll a hint of gunpowder.

So astute individuals had already pieced together the scattered information, forming a more coherent analysis in their minds.

After Song finished speaking, he imdiately explained, "Mayor Zheng, please don’t misunderstand, I didn’t an that."

"After all, it was you who personally secured the project from the provincial level. Who doesn’t know the level of importance you place on the project?"

"And to entrust with full responsibility for a project you value so highly shows your high regard for ..."

At this point, Song Guanchao suddenly fell silent again, and furrowed his brows, revealing a thoughtful expression once more.

The more the audience listened, the more they felt sothing was amiss.

Through Song Guanchao’s deliberate guidance, they had finally realized it.

Just like he said, why would Mayor Zheng personally secure a project only to leave it entirely in the hands of a secretary of the City Committee?

It simply made no sense logically.

But considering the series of events that Song Guanchao encountered afterward, it seed to make sense after all.

Mayor Zheng was setting a trap for Song Guanchao!

At this mont, everyone understood the purpose of today’s standing committee eting.

The eting room once again fell into an eerie silence.

In this quiet atmosphere, the air felt sowhat oppressive.

Mayor Zheng’s expression was very serious, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Nonsense."

Wu Qiangwei broke the tense atmosphere, reprimanding, "Secretary Song, apologize to Mayor Zheng!"

"Yes." Song Guanchao looked apologetic, "Mayor Zheng, sorry, that wasn’t what I ant. I’m not articulate, and didn’t express myself clearly. After all, entrusting such an important project to shows your trust, and I am very grateful to you."

His apology, however, only made things worse.

Mayor Zheng said gravely, "Secretary Song does not need to apologize, there indeed appears to be a problem here. It looks like there’s an issue within our organization."

"When I was applying for the high-speed rail project, I had already anticipated that so might target this project, which is why I hoped the city governnt and the City Committee could take joint responsibility. All of us putting in effort would save a lot of ti."

"But I didn’t expect that these corrupt elents harbored such imnse and unrestrained ambitions!"

Song Guanchao said, "Mayor Zheng, rest assured, I believe Director Qin will definitely catch them! Because I placed a tracker in the project docunts!"

Mayor Zheng was taken aback, then heard Song continue, "However, the thief who stole the project docunts seems to have placed them in a location with no signal, so it’s been impossible to track down so far."

"But please rest assured, Mayor Zheng, the thief doesn’t know I placed a tracker. As soon as the thief brings the project docunts to a location with a signal, I can imdiately locate them!"

"Then we will know who stole the project docunts!"

When Song Guanchao said this, his seemingly sunny but actually sinister smile made Mayor Zheng shudder.

Not only did Mayor Zheng shudder, but the departnt heads attending the eting also shuddered.

His words were essentially a warning—don’t provoke .

Whoever provokes , I’ll pin the na of the thief on them!

Because they knew, talk of trackers was re nonsense.

The project docunts were definitely in Song Guanchao’s hands.

If he wanted to target soone, he could just deliver the project docunts to that person’s house in advance and then show up with the police.

At that point, being caught red-handed, not even jumping into the Yellow River could wash them clean!

Even Minister Zhou’s mouth twitched severely when he heard this.

He suddenly regretted reminding Song Guanchao.

This guy was utterly ruthless!
