Official Career Storm

Chapter 1669

President Xie got into the car and confessed everything he knew in detail.

When Chairman Qiao learned that the high-level officials signed an investment agreement with Feng City, he fiercely criticized several senior officials and immediately rushed to Feng City to terminate the contract with the other party.

Upon arriving in Feng City, Chairman Qiao was apprehended by the local police under a fabricated charge and was ordered to stay at a designated hotel without any outside contact until she explained the situation.

The designated residence was originally meant to protect the involved parties from forced confessions by the police.

However, in reality, the designated residence made forced confessions by the police even more convenient.

Song Guanchao calculated the time, and Chairman Qiao had been detained for only three or four days. As long as she cooperates a little and does not anger the officers, there should be no major issues for the time being.

The immediate priority is to bring Chairman Qiao back!

But the problem is, she is in Feng City!

Feng City is a prefecture-level city in Tian Nan Province, which Wu Province cannot control, and neither can Nanjiang Province.

So even if Governor Lu speaks out, the other side may or may not listen.

Following the normal procedures to have her released is very difficult.

Then, only unconventional means can be used.

"Drive," said Song Guanchao.

"Where to?" Jiang Yiren asked.

"To President Xie’s house."

Jiang Yiren was puzzled but did not ask further. She had a good memory and remembered the address President Xie reported earlier, and immediately drove there.

President Xie was anxious and unsure of Song Guanchao’s intentions.

On the way, Song Guanchao made a phone call: "Madman, bring some people to Pinghai, come tonight, find a place to stay upon arrival, and wait for my call tomorrow."

He has to make a trip to Feng City, but the issues with Chairman Qiao’s company need to be addressed quickly.

President Xie is the vice president and holds a significant position; if he disappears for too long, it will certainly raise suspicion among the high-level officials internally.

He needs to eliminate them before the high-level officials notice anything amiss.

Upon hearing Song Guanchao’s call, President Xie was no longer anxious but utterly hopeless.

However, he still wanted to struggle a bit.

"Director Song, we have no conflicts..."

"President Xie, I advise you to keep your mouth shut," Song Guanchao said calmly.

President Xie squeezed out a smile and obediently kneeled: "Okay."

Forty minutes later, the car drove into a high-end villa district.

"A villa, it’s quite nice," Song Guanchao nodded.

President Xie replied ingratiatingly, "If Director Song likes it, I can give it to you."

"Hehe."

The car drove into the villa’s parking area, and, upon entering the villa, President Xie was tied up and thrown onto the sofa.

He watched as Song Guanchao moved around the living room, quickly removing the surveillance cameras, proceeding to the rooms and upstairs.

After a round, Song Guanchao had several cameras in hand, and President Xie was completely desperate.

Is this Director Song truly a person within the system? Could he not be an undercover agent?

"Director Jiang, you should rest early."

Song Guanchao sat boldly on the sofa.

Jiang Yiren glanced at President Xie and suddenly found him quite annoying.

Finally able to spend a night in Pinghai, only to have it ruined by this third wheel.

But she also knew that what Song Guanchao needed to handle was crucial, and romantic matters had to be put aside for now.

She gave a small nod, used President Xie’s bathroom to take a shower, and washed her intimate clothes, hanging them in the bathroom before heading to the guest room upstairs wrapped in a coat.

Song Guanchao checked the time on his wrist; it was nearly eleven o’clock.

He sent a message to Wu Qiangwei: "Are you asleep?"

"No."

Song Guanchao called her.

"Have you returned?"

"No, something came up," Song Guanchao quickly explained the situation here.

However, Wu Qiangwei’s first reaction wasn’t about Chairman Qiao’s safety: "Is Jiang Yiren with you?"

Song Guanchao froze, filled with questions.

Big sister, isn’t your focus a bit peculiar?

"Yes, she came with me," Song Guanchao said with some reluctance, "I originally planned to return this afternoon, but then this happened."

Wu Qiangwei responded with a cold note in her voice: "So, what do you want to say?"

Song Guanchao sighed inwardly, this woman wasn’t pretending anymore; if she was jealous, she admitted it.

"I’ve called people over, they’ll arrive tonight..."

"Who? Your comrades?"

"Yes."

"Why not inform Director Liang?"

This woman, in her jealousy, managed to ask such a naive question.

"Director Liang is not suitable to be involved in this matter."

Wu Qiangwei was taken aback: "Why are you telling me this?"

"...You’re the Mayor, of course, I have to tell you."

"Ha, you remember I’m the Mayor now? Why didn’t you tell me when you left that Jiang Yiren was going too?"

"...This was unexpected, and I thought I’d be back this afternoon."

Song Guanchao was embarrassed; he didn’t think much at the time.

Furthermore, he had no intention of taking things further with Jiang Yiren.

The main reason he hadn’t taken things further with Jiang Yiren was because of Wu Qiangwei.

Both women were in the City Government, occasionally bumping into each other, and he didn’t want trouble in his backyard.

"Tomorrow I’m going to have all the high-level officials of Chairman Qiao’s company controlled."

"Then I’ll go to Feng City to bring Chairman Qiao back."

"How do you plan to bring her back?"

"Try not to alert the Feng City police, secretly bring her back."

Feng City has certainly received a lot of benefits from these high-level officials; otherwise, they wouldn’t be doing such obviously illegal things.

Don’t expect Feng City to release people through normal channels; only these means can be used.

As long as the person is brought out, back to Pinghai or Jiangzhou, even if Feng City finds out, it won’t matter.

If they dare to expose the issue, Song Guanchao dares to make a big deal out of it and see who ends up embarrassed.

"Take care," Wu Qiangwei’s tone softened.

Song Guanchao went to see Chairman Qiao because Chairman Qiao signed an investment agreement with Jiangzhou, helping her create political achievements.

Now he has to go to Feng City to rescue someone so Chairman Qiao can smoothly invest in Jiangzhou.

If she continues to be upset at this time, it would be a bit unreasonable.

"Don’t worry," Song Guanchao changed the subject: "Video call?"

"Why?"

"Show you President Xie."

Without waiting for her response, Song Guanchao hung up and clicked on a video call.

Wu Qiangwei hesitated for two seconds but still accepted, immediately seeing Song Guanchao’s decidedly masculine face.

He had a mischievous smile on his lips, and his eyes were smiling as he looked at her.

Song Guanchao turned the camera around, and Wu Qiangwei saw President Xie tied up.

He continued to move the phone, capturing the entire villa living room.

Wu Qiangwei didn’t see Jiang Yiren; she wanted to ask directly but felt it was inappropriate.

Song Guanchao seemed to know what she was thinking and said, "Director Jiang went to rest in the guest room upstairs; I’m keeping an eye on President Xie tonight."

Although he said he’s watching President Xie, he’s actually telling her he won’t be going upstairs tonight and not to worry about him having any interactions with Jiang Yiren.

Wu Qiangwei naturally understood, her lips slightly curling up, and she said, "Make sure you get some sleep tonight, or you won’t be in good shape for Feng City tomorrow."

Song Guanchao replied, "What’s one night without sleep? Don’t you know my physical condition?"

"..." Wu Qiangwei’s face instantly turned red and she said slightly annoyed, "I’m going to sleep!"
