Official Career Storm Chapter 424

"Hey, Madman..."

"Chief, Lu Xiaotian is about to make a move."

Song Guanchao glanced at Zhang ilin, that look making Zhang ilin sowhat uneasy.

"Tonight?"

"Yes, tonight."

"Which people?"

"Just Zhijun and the two of them. I’ve talked to them and asked them to try to nail this task. It just so happens that Biaozi also wants them to show so proof of allegiance, didn’t even need them to ask, he just handed the task over to them directly."

Song Guanchao almost wanted to laugh, this was indeed an unexpected mishap.

That Biaozi, dumb as a doorknob.

"Let know when you get there."

"They’ve already set off, it will probably take more than half an hour to arrive."

"Then you get settled first, I’ll deal with things on my side and contact you later."

After hanging up the phone, Song Guanchao looked towards Xu Xin.

Fear still lingered between Xu Xin’s brows.

Mayor Zheng had already been beaten up once, but he still ca.

Although Song Guanchao had threatened him again, she felt that Mayor Zheng wouldn’t give up easily.

She knew Mayor Zheng too well, the type to rember the food but not the beating, and the less he could get, the more he wanted it.

"He won’t dare to bother you again for a while."

Song Guanchao said, "Once I’ve dealt with my current issues, I’ll find a way to solve your problem for good."

"Okay, thank you."

"You don’t need to thank , you’re my person, I’m obviously going to help you. If you don’t feel safe staying here, change places for now."

"No need, if he really wants to hurt , it’ll be the sa no matter where I move."

That made sense, so Song Guanchao didn’t ntion it again.

"I’m leaving now, get so rest early."

Coming down from upstairs, Song Guanchao tossed him a cigarette and suddenly asked, "Brother Zhang, do you know anyone at the hospital?"

Zhang ilin was confused by the rapid change in topic.

"My father-in-law is the vice president of Renmin Hospital."

"That makes things easier."

Song Guanchao said, "Hou Wen has arranged for soone to go after you."

Zhang ilin knew there must be sothing up with him.

But hearing this still left him stunned.

Hou Wen is going after ?

Why?

"Because I took down the Dujiang City Secretary, and he can’t stand it?"

"Sothing like that. But it’s not about you personally, it’s mainly about the position."

"It doesn’t matter who holds it, he’ll strike."

Song Guanchao said, "I haven’t figured out the exact reason yet, but that he’s going to move against you is certain. He has already arranged for people to co to Lingjiang, and they plan to act tonight."

A chill ran down Zhang ilin’s spine.

He had dealt with quite a few high-ranking officials within the system, but everyone was ostensibly amiable, and very few would resort to such violent thods to tackle soone.

This made him feel like he was being targeted by the mafia, and for a mont his brain was numb, unable to think of how to cope.

Song Guanchao said, "I’ve arranged for a few people under him, originally to do sothing else, but they happened to stumble upon this. It just so happens that the people he arranged to teach you a lesson are my people."

"So, you don’t have to worry too much, they definitely won’t be able to touch you."

"But, Brother Zhang, you’ll have to cooperate with in putting on a show."

Zhang ilin asked, "You want to pretend to have been beaten and hospitalized?"

"Exactly."

"No problem!" Zhang ilin asked, "How long should I stay?"

"Stay for a month first, have your father-in-law make your condition seem more serious."

"Okay."

Song Guanchao checked the ti, "Go talk to your father-in-law now, Brother Zhang, rember, don’t let too many people know about this."

"I understand."

Both of them left the residential complex and returned to the restaurant parking lot, where he called a designated driver.

Song Guanchao also called a designated driver and arrived downstairs at Wu Qiangwei’s place.

"Secretary, are you asleep?"

"What’s the matter?"

"I have sothing to report to you, I’m downstairs."

"Co up."

Song Guanchao scurried upstairs and gently knocked on the door.

Wu Qiangwei opened the door carelessly, and Song Guanchao saw that she had changed into her pajamas and had a face mask on.

"What’s the matter?"

Song Guanchao walked inside and said, "Mayor Zheng just went to Xu Xin’s place to make a scene. I gave him a lesson and incidentally got so news from him."

He briefly reported the evening’s events.

Then he also disclosed the investigation results of the people around Hou Wen’s circle from the past few days.

"There is absolutely no activity in these accounts."

Song Guanchao said, "At first, I was wondering if we might have guessed wrong."

Wu Qiangwei said, "We shouldn’t be wrong. He approached Mayor Zheng to propose a partnership, offering him his pick of various departnts, and yet he was refused."

"I suspect it was Mayor Zheng’s refusal that made him suspicious."

Song Guanchao said, "That’s what I think too, but I feel it’s best to be certain. Secretary, it might be best to ask Secretary Lu tomorrow if County Magistrate Hou also sought him out for a chat."

A refusal from Mayor Zheng alone would, at most, have made him doubtful, without leading him to think otherwise.

But if Secretary Lu also refused, County Magistrate Hou should then start to consider whether the problem might be with himself.

"We don’t need to wait till tomorrow."

Wu Qiangwei grabbed her phone and dialed Secretary Lu’s number right in front of him.

"Hello, Secretary Lu..."

A few minutes later, Wu Qiangwei said, "County Magistrate Hou did indeed approach him, and Secretary Lu refused."

Song Guanchao said, "Secretary, why don’t you give Director Qin a call and ask too?"

Wu Qiangwei’s eyes lit up, imdiately understanding his intention.

If County Magistrate Hou also sought out Director Qin that day, it would be a hundred percent certain that Hou Wen had guessed that Tu Zhaorui was after him.

"Hello, Director Qin. This is Wu Qiangwei."

A few minutes later, Wu Qiangwei hung up the phone and said, "You guessed right, County Magistrate Hou did go to him."

"And according to Director Qin, County Magistrate Hou wanted his help to diate with the military."

"diate?" Song Guanchao nodded, brewing over the fact that he approached three people in one morning with two different stories.

He could now be sure, beyond any doubt, that County Magistrate Hou knew sothing was amiss with himself.

But he still didn’t understand.

"Why is there no movent in his accounts?"

Song Guanchao frowned, "For him, ti is money. He chastised Zhang ilin to buy ti. Three or four days have passed since today, yet there’s not the slightest sign of him moving any assets."

Wu Qiangwei pondered, "He must have other accounts that you haven’t found."

"That must be it."

Song Guanchao had considered this possibility.

And it made sense.

However, the accounts he found so far totaled nearly four hundred million.

That’s no small amount.

No matter how much Hou Wen had profited over the years, surely he wouldn’t dismiss these four hundred million so easily, would he?

"I’ll have soone take another thorough look tomorrow."

Song Guanchao had just finished speaking when Lu Feng made another call.

He knew that Li Zhijun and his crew had arrived.

The ti to "teach" Zhang ilin a lesson had co.

"Secretary, I need to go handle Secretary Zhang’s matter."

"Mhm."

At 9:10 PM, in this closed bar, Song Guanchao t with Lu Feng and Li Zhijun and his group.

Since joining Biaozi’s gang, the three of them had dyed their hair, gotten tattoos on their arms, and looked every bit the bad boys from outside the school.
