Chapter 1726: Chapter 1726

The Central Disciplinary Committee sent three people, all around 35 years old. In a department like the Central Committee, they could be considered quite young.

The man walking at the front quickened his pace slightly, approached the desk, and extended his right hand: "Hello, Secretary Xu. I am Ji Wei, the head of the third group of the seventh disciplinary inspection division of the Central Disciplinary Committee."

"Hello, Mr. Ji." Xu Wu shook his hand and introduced them, saying, "This is Song Guanchao."

Following his introduction, Ji Wei sized up the target of their visit.

His expression remained unchanged, still bearing a faint smile, yet the subtle changes in his expression still made it apparent that his attitude towards Song Guanchao had taken on a few more degrees of seriousness.

"Hello, Director Song."

After the two shook hands, Xu Wu said, "Director Song, please cooperate with Mr. Ji’s investigation next."

"Alright." Song Guanchao’s attitude was calm, without any politeness, flattery, or the anxiety and nervousness of someone about to be investigated.

"Director Song, please come with us."

Ji Wei quickly got into work mode and turned to leave the office.

The other two men first collected Song Guanchao’s phone and other items, then flanked him from the left and right, as if accompanying him but actually supervising him, to prevent any excessive actions.

Leaving the office, the group took the elevator downstairs.

Several cars were already parked downstairs, two of them with police plates and one an ordinary commercial vehicle.

Song Guanchao glanced at the license plates. The two vehicles with police plates were used by the Political and Legal Committee of Jiangzhou City, and the other commercial vehicle belonged to the Jiangzhou City Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Song Guanchao thought inwardly, Ji Wei is quite efficient, having already coordinated with the relevant departments on the way here.

The car drove straight to the Fuli Hotel, which was the detention location of the City Disciplinary Committee.

As he got off the vehicle, he also saw Secretary Bao Qi of the City Disciplinary Committee and Secretary Hu Yaling of the City’s Political and Legal Committee getting out of their car.

He hadn’t really interacted much with these two standing committee members of Jiangzhou City.

The two approached him with a tone of emotion, "Director Song, we just received the notice this morning. We hope you’ll cooperate with our work in the upcoming period."

No matter their true feelings towards Song Guanchao, they certainly had to keep up appearances.

"Of course." Song Guanchao smiled and walked into the hotel.

...

The news of Song Guanchao being taken away by the Disciplinary Committee quickly spread throughout Jiangzhou’s officialdom.

The city standing committee members were the first to receive the news, while others only got the second-hand information.

Those close to Song Guanchao were most worried, being detained by the Disciplinary Committee at this time, especially the Central Disciplinary Committee!

Clearly, it’s related to the park pollution incident.

...

"Xiao Su, come to my room."

Su Rong felt a wave of disgust as she looked at the message from Du Canyang on her phone.

Even though she had long considered this a transaction, it didn’t mean she could accept Du Canyang’s frequent demands without any mental burden.

But she also seemed powerless to refuse.

Su Rong bit her lip and looked up to see Du Canyang leaving his seat and the office.

After waiting for a few minutes, she left the room to follow.

Entering the room, she saw Du Canyang had already stripped down to a towel around his waist.

He was middle-aged, his body poorly maintained, with sagging skin and a noticeably bulging beer belly.

The only thing Su Rong could accept, perhaps, was that he didn’t have any unpleasant odor.

"You sit first, I’ll take a shower and then tell you some good news."

Du Canyang gently pinched her bottom before heading into the bathroom.

Su Rong sat on the chair, listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom, suddenly feeling the urge to flee.

But when she thought of Chen Jie Ming being detained, she suppressed this impulse.

No matter what, she must make Song Guanchao pay.

After finishing his shower, Du Canyang came out, smelling of soap and shampoo.

He pulled a chair to sit down and asked, "Do you want to wash up?"

"Hmm." Su Rong smiled, took off her coat, and headed into the bathroom.

She had already paid a price—if she kept a cold face now, her earlier efforts would be greatly reduced.

Since what’s done is done, she might as well let Du Canyang have a good experience.

Even if not to deal with Song Guanchao, just for Du Canyang’s status, she should maintain a good relationship with him.

But this relationship can’t be long-term.

Although Chen Jie Ming was caught for embezzlement and bribery, he was cooperating with the public security’s investigation, and his sentence won’t exceed two years.

Before he gets out, she must sever her ties with Du Canyang.

Standing under the water, washing her body, she suddenly heard the bathroom door open.

Instinctively, she shrank her body.

Then footsteps approached from behind, followed by a pair of arms that embraced her from behind.

Su Rong didn’t resist and let him touch her.

But when he tried to kiss her, Su Rong dodged.

Du Canyang stopped, looked down at her.

Su Rong pursed her lips, finally closing her eyes and lifting her face.

Du Canyang smirked coldly, kissed her fiercely, and in an almost humiliating manner, invaded her mouth with intense motion.

After over ten minutes, the two came out of the bathroom.

Du Canyang lay on the bed, pulled her close, and his hand grabbed and kneaded the curve of her full buttocks, saying, "Song Guanchao was taken away for investigation by the Disciplinary Committee this afternoon, by the Central Disciplinary Committee!"

Su Rong’s eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Hmm." Du Canyang smiled and asked, "Isn’t that good news?"

Su Rong nodded repeatedly, "Brother Du, you’re amazing!"

Even knowing Su Rong was using him, Du Canyang felt immensely satisfied.

He patted Su Rong’s butt and said, "Get on top."

Su Rong’s smile froze for a moment, then she quickly adjusted her mindset, displaying a bashful expression, slowly rising from his embrace, raising her slender legs, placing her small hands on his lower stomach, and straddled him slowly.

...

"Completely fabricated."

Song Guanchao put down Ji Wei’s letter of accusation.

It was exactly the same as the one he had seen in Xu Wu’s office.

Ji Wei said, "The reporter provided the surveillance video of the hotel parking lot and the car’s dashcam. Through the video and audio, we confirmed the incident happened."

Song Guanchao shook his head: "I didn’t do it."

Ji Wei nodded, stood up, and said, "Think about it carefully."

With that, he led the others out of the room.

The door was locked, and Song Guanchao’s brow furrowed.

This Ji Wei, something’s not right.

How can the Disciplinary Committee investigate someone like this?

Moreover, without decisive evidence, they wouldn’t arbitrarily detain a deputy division-level cadre.

The evidence Ji Wei has is just that reporter’s testimony and the surveillance footage.

But the people captured in the surveillance threatening others were not sent by him.

They hadn’t even traced the identities of those making threats and directly brought him for detention.

And he had already denied it.

Without evidence, and with his denial.

In this situation, he could completely leave, not be continually detained.

"Strange..."

Recalling Ji Wei’s actions from appearing in Xu Wu’s office to interrogating him here, Song Guanchao could keenly sense that this Mr. Ji seemed to have a certain bias against him.

As if he were determined that Song Guanchao was the one who did this.

But as the Disciplinary Committee, they should base their actions on evidence, not feelings or bias.

Moreover, this was their first meeting, no past grudges or conflicts.

There’s only one possibility left: someone had a word with him.
