Official Career Storm-Chapter 1366

Song Guanchao's smile made Zhou Zheng instantly displeased again.

But he held it in and didn't embarrass him in front of Wu Qiangwei.

Not long after, Zhang Yan arrived.

When she received the call, she roughly guessed why Zhou Zheng was looking for her.

She acted as if she didn't see Song Guanchao, walked over, intending to sit down, but there were only two chairs in front of the desk.

Zhou Zheng sat on one, and the other was occupied by Song Guanchao.

She walked to Song Guanchao's side, didn't speak, just quietly stared at him.

In the presence of two mayors and one secretary, Song Guanchao still gave face.

He stood up and smiled, saying, "Mayor Zhang, please sit."

Zhang Yan said nothing, just sat down.

Song Guanchao walked to the window, pulled over a chair, and sat to the side.

"Secretary Zhou, what do you need from me?" Zhang Yan calmly asked.

Zhou Zheng glanced at Song Guanchao: "Director Song, you go out first."

Song Guanchao was immovable as a mountain, only saying, "I am the person involved."

Zhou Zheng's expression slightly darkened.

As the top official of Jiangzhou City, no one had dared to defy his words before.

Song Guanchao was the first.

But what he said wasn't wrong.

As the person involved, how can you ask him to leave?

Wu Qiangwei sensed the tension, and she felt a headache coming on.

Zhou Zheng had a narrow mind and a strong aura of authority, yet Song Guanchao was someone who couldn't be pushed around.

If you talked to him nicely, he would surely give you face.

But Zhou Zheng insisted otherwise.

Wu Qiangwei brought the topic back on track: "Director Song's office has been bugged."

Zhang Yan said, "I heard about it."

Zhou Zheng asked, "Director Zhang, just heard about it?"

"Yes." Zhang Yan knew what he wanted to ask: "This matter has nothing to do with me."

She was already giving Zhou Zheng face by choosing to explain.

In her heart, she was also curious about who could have done it.

Aside from being curious, she felt a little pleased.

Just two days after taking office, someone had already bugged him.

This indicated that Song Guanchao had offended quite a few people.

Zhou Zheng didn't know whether she was telling the truth or not, nor could he judge.

He said somberly, "Mayor Wu's office has also been bugged."

Zhang Yan's expression froze at first, puzzled, then surprised: "Really?"

Song Guanchao observed her reaction from the side.

From his experience in dealing with Zhang Yan a few times before, purely by her reaction, it didn't seem feigned.

He stood up, walked to the wall, moved aside the calligraphy, revealing the slot behind it, and the surveillance equipment in the slot.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but gasp lightly, her mind racing fast.

She wasn't surprised that Song Guanchao was being surveilled.

Because this guy had a domineering personality, offending people everywhere.

But Wu Qiangwei handled matters with a very gentle approach, and in the months since coming to Jiangzhou, she had never had conflicts with others.

Why was she being surveilled too?

This left her utterly perplexed.

At this point, there was a knock on the door.

Song Guanchao went to open the door, and it was Liang Jianfeng.

Liang Jianfeng entered, nodded to Zhou Zheng and Zhang Yan, as a greeting, then said, "There's been some progress, we can basically determine who's behind Li Song."

Zhou Zheng asked, "Who is Li Song?"

Liang Jianfeng replied, "The person who secretly installed surveillance in Director Song's office, a staff member of the third office of the secretariat."

Zhou Zheng asked, "Who instructed him?"

Liang Jianfeng habitually took out a cigarette, but remembered there were others present, and when about to put it away, Wu Qiangwei said, "Director Song, bring the ashtray."

Song Guanchao brought over an ashtray, and Liang Jianfeng lit the cigarette, took a puff, and said, "I checked the surveillance over the past few days and found that Li Song frequently went to a certain person's office."

"Especially today, he went there three times."

"The last time was after Director Song reported the incident."

"He first mingled among the people in the corridor, then went to that person's office."

"Afterward, he returned to the office, and then was called over by the police."

Hearing this, Song Guanchao suddenly realized.

He thought to himself, no wonder he was an old hand in the police, his thinking was indeed very clear.

Although there wasn't direct evidence to prove it, they managed to gather useful information by investigating Li Song's daily habits.

However...

"However, these cannot serve as evidence and can only be used as a reference."

"I am only guessing that person might be behind him, based on the surveillance."

After speaking, Liang Jianfeng took a few more puffs of smoke.

Zhou Zheng impatiently said, "Stop keeping us in suspense, who is it exactly?"

Liang Jianfeng said, "Director of the Secretariat Office, Shi Qin."

Upon hearing this name, Song Guanchao was stunned, and so was Zhou Zheng.

Was it really her?

Song Guanchao was clear, even without evidence, from Li Song's frequent visits to Shi Qin's office, he could be one hundred percent sure that Shi Qin was behind Li Song.

Moreover, with these surveillance records, it was just a matter of time to find solid evidence.

He just didn't understand why Shi Qin would do this.

Just last night, she invited him for dinner, and although he refused in the end, their relationship was still quite friendly.

Yet after just one night, she had someone install surveillance and wiretaps in his office. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Song Guanchao was a bit bewildered, completely unable to understand Shi Qin's actions.

He turned his head towards Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng had a very interesting expression.

Because Shi Qin was having an affair with him.

Now that Shi Qin had done such a thing, if evidence was found, should he arrest her or not?

"Director Liang, is that just a speculation?" Zhou Zheng asked.

Liang Jianfeng nodded, "There's currently no evidence, just some analysis."

Zhou Zheng suddenly said seriously, "Don't make ungrounded analyses if there's no evidence. If Director Shi is not involved, saying that would only create opposition and harm the comradely relationships."

Liang Jianfeng, unfazed, glanced at him and, with an unchanged expression, said, "Based on the current information and clues, Director Shi is highly suspicious. I will invite her over to assist with the investigation later."

Zhou Zheng's eye twitched heavily: "Start with Li Song, find the evidence first. Without evidence, don't arrest people recklessly."

Liang Jianfeng said, "It's not arresting; it's assisting with the investigation."

"Bang!" Zhou Zheng suddenly slammed the table, his face already very sullen: "Director Liang, do you not understand what I'm saying?"

Liang Jianfeng remained calm: "Secretary Zhou can provide guidance, but I have my investigation strategy."

"I am the director of the Police Department; I have more experience with investigations, and Secretary Zhou should not meddle improperly."

Liang Jianfeng's firm attitude stunned Zhou Zheng for two seconds.

He likely didn't expect Liang Jianfeng to speak to him in such a tone.

He was so angry that his old face turned red, his palm resting on the armrest trembling slightly with rage.

"Director Liang, you go investigate the case first." Wu Qiangwei said.

If Liang Jianfeng stayed any longer, she feared Zhou Zheng might faint from anger.

Liang Jianfeng stubbed out his cigarette, got up and walked out, followed by Song Guanchao.

After leaving the office, a dozen meters out, Song Guanchao said, "Shi Qin is Secretary Zhou's lover."

"I can see that." Liang Jianfeng said blandly.

Zhou Zheng's behavior was so obvious, Wu Qiangwei and Zhang Yan must have seen it too.

Liang Jianfeng asked, "Did you offend Shi Qin?"

Song Guanchao shook his head, looking puzzled: "We even had dinner together yesterday."

Liang Jianfeng: "How was the atmosphere at dinner?"

"Very good."

"Very good?" Liang Jianfeng pondered for a few seconds, then shook his head as well: "Strange."
