Official Career Storm

Li Qingtang's heart trembled, but he still braced himself, stubbornly saying, "Song Guanchao, you've set me up this time, I'll remember this!"

Song Guanchao sneered, "With your brains, if I really wanted to set you up, I wouldn't have waited until now."

"What do you mean!" He felt insulted.

"Old Li!" Ji Lin glared at him, shutting him up.

During these days of confinement, he thought a lot.

Although Song Guanchao knew that old man, this incident shouldn't involve him.

He's just a small secretary, how could he rally two military district chiefs?

This time, it was an accidental success, a bungled opportunity.

Ji Lin asked, "Secretary Song, how does the city plan to handle us?"

Song Guanchao said, "I told you, you're fine. But as for Mr. Li, haha, he grabbed the guard's gun and hit the chief. The prosecution will charge him with intentional harm."

"As for the others, the issue is even bigger. As police officers, breaking the law knowingly, leading a forceful demolition, they shouldn't expect to come out for at least three to five years."

Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief, luckily, he was fine.

As for Li Qingtang, all he could feel was sympathy.

Li Qingtang looked ashen. Suddenly, he said, "I want to make a call."

"Don't bother, Governor Li is already waiting for you at the detention center. Whatever you want to say, say it later."

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped outside the detention center.

Li Zhen Ting and Zhang Jie had already been waiting.

In addition, Director Qin, Zheng Bihui, and Jiang Yuan also came.

Song Guanchao got out of the car, instructing the police to escort Director Yan and the others into the detention center.

Several leaders came over, Li Zhen Ting and Zhang Jie were heartbroken seeing their son's appearance.

"Mom." Ji Lin started to speak and almost cried.

God knows how he got through these past few days.

Born with a silver spoon, spoiled since childhood, his family never laid a finger on him, and this time he was disciplined by a group of soldiers in turn.

The physical pain was secondary; what he couldn't tolerate was the trampling of his pride.

"With mom here, it's okay now."

Zhang Jie patted his head, then looked at Director Qin, "Director Qin, can my son leave now?"

Director Qin's face was dark; he was the unluckiest one this time.

At home doing nothing, trouble came out of nowhere.

Director Yan, that idiot, got drunk in the middle of the night and went to attack the chief.

He was so frustrated, he was about to spit blood.

Director Qin pointed at Song Guanchao and said, "The case was assigned by the City Committee to Secretary Song."

The implication being, don't talk to me, go find Song Guanchao.

He now didn't want to deal with these troubles at all.

Zhang Jie only then noticed Song Guanchao, putting on the authoritative demeanor of the head of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and used a commanding tone, "Secretary Song, what procedures still need to be followed?"

"Just sign a document, and he can leave."

Song Guanchao smiled on the surface but secretly assessed this middle-aged woman.

Is this the main culprit who forced Zhu Qiushui's father to death?

Lu Zhizhong was eager to enter the Provincial Committee just to seek justice for Zhu Qiushui's father.

And now, his enemy, was right in front of him.

However, Song Guanchao wouldn't choose to offend the other party at this moment.

Zhang Jie didn't know much about this small secretary, and she didn't pay much attention to him either.

After hearing Song Guanchao's words, she hummed and continued to talk to her son.

Deputy Governor Li Zhen Ting also asked, "Secretary Song, what about my son's situation?"

"Governor Li." Song Guanchao replied politely, "Your son's situation is quite serious, the prosecution is pressing charges of intentional harm against him."

Governor Li frowned, "It's already been defined?"

"Yes." Song Guanchao said, "It's been decided by the military district, we're just executing."

Then he added, "Governor Li, don't be overly worried, although your son acted, Commander Chen's injuries are not severe, not even minor injuries. At most, he'll be detained for ten days to half a month."

"You make it sound so easy!"

"This is a criminal case, my son will get a criminal record!"

Governor Li's tone was angry, feeling that Song Guanchao was insensitive.

Song Guanchao squinted, damn it, you're really pushing it.

He thought to let things pass, but this father and son were truly cut from the same cloth.

The son is arrogant, the father even more outrageously arrogant.

Song Guanchao chuckled, "Governor Li, if you're angry, don't take it out on me. I'm just a small secretary, I do as I'm told. If you have issues, talk to Secretary Qu, talk to Commander Chen."

Governor Li raised his eyebrows, glaring at Song Guanchao, "What's with your attitude?"

"Does Governor Li have anything else?" Song Guanchao was too lazy to respond, turning to the police, "Take this Young Master Li inside, make sure he doesn't get hurt, after all, he's the son of our Vice Governor Li."

Listening to his sarcastic tone, Governor Li muttered "fuck" under his breath, and without any warning, raised his hand to slap his face.

Under normal circumstances, Governor Li would never be so impulsive.

After all, Jiang Yuan and Zheng Bihui were still present at the scene, he couldn't just start hitting people.

But with so much happening in the past few days, it overwhelmed him.

Now, a small secretary dared to speak to him like this, and he couldn't suppress his inner rage.

"Slap!"

The loud, crisp sound of a slap echoed.

It wasn't Song Guanchao who got hit, but Li Zhen Ting.

Li Zhen Ting staggered back two steps, but he didn't feel the pain on his face; he stared blankly at Song Guanchao, as if stunned by the slap.

He was hit?

By a small secretary?

Jiang Yuan and Zheng Bihui's eyelids twitched at the sight.

This kid, still so bold, still so daring.

Even dared to slap a deputy governor.

But he chose the right moment.

Because Li Zhen Ting struck first.

Song Guanchao could completely justify his actions as self-defense.

And with Song Guanchao's sharp tongue and crafty mind, Li Zhen Ting got slapped in vain.

Zhang Jie and the others looked at him in disbelief.

This small secretary, hit the vice governor?

Where did he get the guts?

"Li Zhen Ting, do you dare to strike me?"

Song Guanchao squinted his eyes, immediately grabbing his phone and dialing a number:

"Governor Qu, Vice Governor Li is dissatisfied with the decisions of the City Committee and the military district, and struck me outside the detention center. Please, Secretary Qu, instruct us, alright, I understand, I'll contact the military district and have them take over."

After hanging up, he continued dialing Commander Ma of the Military District.

Seeing his actions, Jiang Yuan and Zheng Bihui were startled, rushing forward to press down on his dialing hand.

"Secretary Song, don't be angry, we can discuss this."

Song Guanchao pressed his advantage, "Mayor Zheng, Mayor Jiang, it's not that I'm not giving face. You both saw what happened earlier, Li Zhen Ting relied on his vice governor status to hit me!"

He pointed to the car beside him, "The dashcam recorded everything!"

"I, Song Guanchao, may just be a small secretary, but I have my dignity."

"This isn't over! After handing his son over to the military district, I'm going to the province to lodge a complaint!"

"I'm going to ask Secretary Gao if being a vice governor means being superior to others!"

"If the province doesn't give me justice, I'll go to Yanjing, to the central government!"

"I refuse to believe it, that Li Zhen Ting, a vice governor, can cover the sky with one hand!"

Li Zhen Ting's chest heaved with anger, his breathing uneven.

Damn it, I'm the one who got hit, why is this kid making such a fuss?

Why does it feel like he's the one being wronged?
