Official Career Storm

Chapter 1750: Chapter 1750

"The Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee has already found the key."

"Find an opportunity to talk with Song Guanchao."

Lin He clutched his phone; on the other end was Chairman Fang.

Song Guanchao guessed correctly; the report and the key in the drawer were all Lin He’s doing.

The goal was to make Song Guanchao back off.

"Talk?" Chairman Fang suddenly laughed, "Hasn’t Mr. Lin had dealings with Song Guanchao before?"

Lin He asked, "What do you mean?"

Chairman Fang said, "This guy is impervious to both hard and soft tactics. The report isn’t the first time, but he just won’t back down. I don’t think he’ll give in this time either."

Lin He thought for a moment and said, "Let’s have a talk. Without talking, how would we know?"

"Alright."

Chairman Fang didn’t refuse. He and Lin He were allies now, still counting on him to pull this off and get the money out.

However, Song Guanchao is currently in detention. It’s hard to see him.

Ji Wei certainly wouldn’t help in this matter. He’s very cautious and wouldn’t do anything that might expose his identity.

After thinking it over, Chairman Fang decided to go in person.

At four-thirty, he arrived at the Fuli Hotel.

"Chairman Fang?" Ji Wei raised an eyebrow, surprised by his presence.

He hadn’t informed him before coming.

Chairman Fang said, "Mr. Ji, I need to see Song Guanchao."

Ji Wei immediately frowned, his expression darkening, "Chairman Fang, don’t make it difficult for me."

There’s no protocol for the accuser to meet the accused.

This is simply breaking the rules.

Chairman Fang said, "Mr. Ji, just tell him I have work-related matters to discuss with him, specifically about restructuring and transitioning work. This shouldn’t violate any regulations, right?"

Ji Wei thought for a few seconds and said, "Wait here for me."

He found Song Guanchao, "There’s a company head from the park who’s asking to see you."

"Who?" Song Guanchao was quite surprised. Despite being detained, the person who reported him wanted to meet.

What’s happening here?

"His surname is Fang."

So it’s Chairman Fang. Song Guanchao remembered him.

He looked at Ji Wei, "I’m currently detained. Does this adhere to procedures?"

Ji Wei chuckled bitterly, glanced towards the surveillance, and spoke only when its light was off, "Director Song, the current situation isn’t favorable for you. I’ll be frank, Chairman Fang is likely here to negotiate terms. Allowing him to see you is also to ensure things don’t get too ugly."

After a pause, he added, "That key is not in your favor."

Song Guanchao slightly nodded, "Alright, please bring him over."

Though he didn’t need Ji Wei’s help, he appreciated the gesture of goodwill and accepted the favor.

Seeing his willingness to meet Chairman Fang, Ji Wei smiled.

Soon, he brought Chairman Fang over.

Before leaving, he leaned in and whispered to Song Guanchao, "Surveillance is already off."

Ji Wei closed the door, and Chairman Fang smiled, "Director Song, long time no see."

"If there’s something to say, say it." Song Guanchao responded mildly, neither friendly nor hostile.

Chairman Fang didn’t mind. He glanced towards the surveillance out of caution and refrained from speaking directly.

He took out pen and paper from his coat pocket and wrote a line: "Let go of the park, and you’ll be safe."

So this was what he came for.

Did he think that key could control him?

Song Guanchao asked, "What if I don’t let go?"

Chairman Fang wrote another line: "Director Song really doesn’t want to talk?"

Song Guanchao shook his head.

That was his answer.

Chairman Fang had anticipated this situation before coming; he wasn’t surprised nor did he have any regrets.

He put away the pen and paper, stood up, smoothed out the creases in his coat, and said condescendingly, "Then Director Song can stay here."

With those words, a cold smile appeared on his face as he turned to leave.

This was their final negotiation.

Song Guanchao’s attitude remained steadfast and unwavering.

He knew full well that what followed would be an even more intense targeting.

But Song Guanchao didn’t truly believe these guys, including Lin He, could run Jiangzhou as if they owned it.

...

"He doesn’t want to talk."

In the car, Chairman Fang spoke into the phone.

"I know." Lin He tossed the phone onto the desk, twirling an Agarwood Bracelet in his left hand. His face remained calm and his gaze was reserved, pondering something unknown.

...

By evening, the forensic results had come out.

No fingerprints or useful traces were found on the key.

Meanwhile, the police from the City Government reviewed surveillance footage for the past month and found no suspicious individuals.

The investigation hit an impasse.

On one hand, no one knew which community this key belonged to.

On the other hand, if no one was caught hiding the key on the surveillance, it could only be Song Guanchao’s own.

The next day, the situation took a turn.

An anonymous tip was sent to the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee.

The police safeguarding Song Guanchao promptly contacted Liang Jianfeng.

At nine-thirty in the morning, Liang Jianfeng arrived at the hotel and saw the report.

The contents of the report listed just one community’s name and a specific building and apartment number.

Jiangzhou Homes, Building 7, Apartment 102.

Evidently, this matches the key found in Song Guanchao’s drawer.

Ji Wei looked at Liang Jianfeng, whose stern face revealed no emotional change. He simply took out his phone, contacted Wu Qiangwei, and told her about it.

On the other end, Wu Qiangwei was silent for a few seconds and said, "Go investigate."

Liang Jianfeng acknowledged, then called Director Ma, instructing him to bring the key and a few others over.

Director Ma was someone Song Guanchao transferred from Pinghai City, someone he trusted.

"Director Ma, accompany Mr. Ji on this visit."

"Alright."

Director Ma was aware of Song Guanchao’s circumstances and took this matter seriously.

At eleven o’clock, they arrived at the community and found the corresponding apartment.

Director Ma inserted the key into the lock.

A gentle twist, and click.

The latch gave way, and the door opened.

They put on shoe covers and entered the apartment one by one.

Each officer had their body cameras on, documenting the operation.

A few minutes later, someone found a suitcase under the bed.

And inside the wardrobe, they found a safe.

After another half an hour of searching every corner of the apartment and confirming these were the only items, Director Ma said, "Open them."

The suitcase had no lock; the zipper pulled open easily.

When the suitcase was opened, several police officers and two Disciplinary Committee members were shocked.

Money!

Packed to the brim with cash!

Several people began breathing heavily.

Based on the suitcase’s size, the cash totaled around 1.5 million.

1.5 million may not sound like much, but in Jiangzhou, a decent location wouldn’t even buy a house with this amount.

Yet manifested in cash before their eyes, the impact was staggering.

Most people have never even seen a hundred thousand cash in their lifetime, let alone over a million.

Instinctively, they turned their gaze to the safe.

What could be inside this?
