Official Career Storm

Chapter 1749: Chapter 1749

A few minutes later, Song Guanchao had finished explaining everything.

The police put away their notebook, got up, and walked over to Liang Jianfeng.

Liang Jianfeng said, "Cooperate well with the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee’s investigation. I’ll have someone look into the issues you mentioned."

After that, he left with his people.

Ji Wei and two others came in and said, "Director Song, we’ll need you to stay here for the next few days."

"Alright." Song Guanchao nodded, considering it a forced vacation.

Ji Wei walked out of the room, took out a cigarette as he headed to the corridor, made sure no one followed, and pulled out another phone from his pocket to call Chairman Fang.

"Song Guanchao has reported to the police..."

Ji Wei spoke quickly and quietly, explaining the situation.

Chairman Fang sneered, "This kid really wants to see the coffin before he cries."

Ji Wei said, "If you have evidence, you’d better bring it over soon."

Chairman Fang pondered for a few seconds and said, "Alright."

Three in the afternoon.

Knock, knock.

"Come in."

Ji Wei pushed open the door, entered, his face grim.

Seeing this, Song Guanchao immediately understood that more unfavorable information had come in.

Ji Wei sat down and said, "Several company heads just came over and provided some information. We need to visit your office now."

Go to my office... Looks like they secretly planted something there.

Song Guanchao understood and said, "Please have Mr. Ji contact the police to come along."

"We will strictly follow procedures, rest assured, Director Song."

Ji Wei was just there to notify him.

After he left, Song Guanchao lay back on the bed, arms folded behind his head, his mood extremely somber.

The people in the park were planning to push him to a dead end.

He didn’t even need to go; he could already guess that Ji Wei would find some so-called "evidence" in his office.

...

At 3:30, Ji Wei led a team, along with several police officers, to the City Government.

He had already informed Wu Qiangwei, who had Shu Xue and Zhou Xingjian go to assist them in searching Song Guanchao’s office.

At this moment, inside the office, two Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee staff members, wearing gloves, were meticulously searching through Song Guanchao’s office.

The desk, bookshelves, even the plants next to the balcony were not spared.

The police followed behind, their body cameras recording all the actions of the two searchers.

Zhou Xingjian and Shu Xue stood next to Ji Wei, quietly waiting.

Zhou Xingjian was quite anxious inside, as Song Guanchao was detained by the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee once again...

He knew well enough that it was the enterprises’ tactics, yet there was nothing he could do.

Who asked Song Guanchao to cut off their financial paths?

Not to mention reporting, even if the opposition hired thugs, Zhou Xingjian wouldn’t be surprised.

At this moment, one of the Disciplinary Committee members opened a drawer of the desk.

Inside the drawer were miscellaneous items like a nail clipper, a lighter, papers, etc.

The Disciplinary Committee member took out the items one by one, and when they removed the papers, a key was prominently revealed underneath.

The Disciplinary Committee paused for a moment and carefully took the key, placing it into a sealed bag.

They searched for about half an hour and ultimately found only this key.

"Mr. Ji, we found this key in Director Song’s drawer."

"The key was covered by papers, hidden at the very bottom of the drawer."

The Disciplinary Committee handed over the sealed bag containing the key.

Zhou Xingjian and Shu Xue frowned, feeling a bad premonition.

Who would deliberately hide a key like this?

This key was almost certainly problematic.

They couldn’t help but wonder, did Song Guanchao really accept benefits?

Ji Wei looked at the key in his hand; a label on the key had the numbers "102," which likely indicated a room number.

"We’ll return now," Ji Wei said and left with his team.

Zhou Xingjian and Shu Xue turned to head upstairs.

They found Wu Qiangwei and reported the search results to her.

"The key..." Wu Qiangwei nodded slightly, "I understand."

The two quietly exited the office.

Wu Qiangwei sighed softly, unsurprisingly, this key was probably the so-called "evidence."

...

Ji Wei didn’t return to the hotel but went to the City Bureau with several police officers.

Liang Jianfeng was not in the bureau, so Political Commissioner Wen Ru received them.

"Hello, Political Commissioner Wen, here is a key we found in Director Song’s office. Please send it to the identification department to check the fingerprints on it."

"Alright." Wen Ru called over police from the identification department and officially handed over the key in front of them.

After Ji Wei left, Wen Ru went to the identification department, watching the police conducting the examination, her eyes flickering slightly, and she couldn’t help but smile a little.

Seeing Song Guanchao being set up so badly, she inexplicably felt a bit of schadenfreude.

...

Ji Wei returned to the hotel and went straight to Song Guanchao’s room.

"Director Song, take a look." Ji Wei opened his phone and showed the photo of the key in front of him.

Song Guanchao looked puzzled, "Why show me this?"

Ji Wei stared into his eyes, "Director Song doesn’t recognize this key?"

"I don’t recognize it..." Song Guanchao suddenly paused, as if he guessed something, and asked, "Was this found in my office?"

Ji Wei nodded, "We found this key under the papers in your drawer."

"Interesting." Song Guanchao didn’t panic in the slightest, even having the mood to laugh, "This key isn’t mine."

He then said, "I need to make a call."

Ji Wei nodded, and the staff beside him handed over his phone.

After unlocking it, Song Guanchao called Wu Qiangwei.

The phone rang once before it connected. On the other end, Wu Qiangwei remained silent, waiting for him to speak.

"Mayor, the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee found a key in my office, which has nothing to do with me."

"I know."

"Mayor Wu, please have the police come over and obtain the City Government’s surveillance footage."

"Alright."

Without needing Song Guanchao to prompt, she had already contacted Liang Jianfeng as soon as she learned about the matter.

After explaining the situation, Song Guanchao hung up and handed back the phone.

Ji Wei took the phone and stood up, "If Director Song is unaware, then let’s wait for the investigation results. Rest well, Song Guanchao. If you need anything, speak to the surveillance, and someone will come over."

After the people left, Song Guanchao took out a cigarette, gently sniffing it below his nose, his mind racing.

He was almost certain that the key was Chairman Fang and company’s tactic.

The "102" on the key likely corresponded to a room number.

They could have easily written the community’s name on the label paper.

Not doing so wasn’t carelessness; it seemed more like a warning to Song Guanchao.

They were warning Song Guanchao that if he backed out now, they could let bygones be bygones.

If Song Guanchao continued persistently, then the next step, the community corresponding to this key, would appear before the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee staff in some manner.

And in that room 102, there would certainly be evidence sufficient to bring Song Guanchao to justice!

"Such a low tactic."

Song Guanchao sneered. This seemingly fatal situation not only didn’t make him compromise but instead stirred his competitive spirit.
