Official Career Storm-Chapter 1408

"No way, if I go over, I won’t be coming back."

Fan Jie is a shrewd person; he wouldn’t foolishly rush over just because of a phone call from the other side.

But he also couldn’t refuse to go.

The current situation favors Song Guanchao, and with Song Guanchao’s personality, he wouldn’t let him off.

Soon, he came up with an idea.

Go find Wu Qiangwei!

He hoped this old classmate would remember their friendship and let him off the hook.

As he headed to the City Government, he called other classmates.

The other classmates had also received calls from the police, but the police only said to go over without specifying the matter.

At this moment, only when Fan Jie spoke did they understand what happened, each one panicked.

"Come to the City Government immediately, let’s go see Qiangwei, we are all classmates, she won’t go to extremes."

"Okay, I’m heading over now."

Fan Jie was the first to arrive at the City Government, waiting in the parking lot for half an hour, as the other classmates gradually showed up.

A total of eleven people.

"Let’s go."

Fan Jie led the way towards the City Government, heading straight to Wu Qiangwei’s office.

"Secretary Shu, is Mayor Wu in?" Fan Jie asked politely.

Shu Xue saw a large group arriving and asked, "What’s the matter, Mr. Fan?"

Fan Jie sighed, "We are Mayor Wu’s classmates, we need to see the Mayor about something."

"Okay, Mr. Fan, please wait a moment."

Without asking further, Shu Xue turned to knock on the door and entered the office.

"Mayor, Fan Jie brought many people, claiming to be your classmates."

Wu Qiangwei frowned but quickly guessed why they had come.

Honestly, she had a headache.

These are her classmates; although they gave false testimony, the situation has changed drastically, the advantage shifted to her. Handling these classmates posed a significant challenge.

If she locked them up, word would spread that she’s ungrateful.

"Offer them some tea and let them wait."

"Understood."

After Shu Xue left, Wu Qiangwei called Song Guanchao.

Song Guanchao had completed his procedures and was now free.

He had left the hospital, planning to go home and take a proper shower.

Halfway, he received Wu Qiangwei’s call, casually answering, "Mayor, what’s up?"

"You’re out?"

"Yeah."

"Fan Jie is here."

"Going to your place?"

"Yes, other classmates who gave false testimony are here too."

Song Guanchao sneered, immediately grasping Fan Jie’s purpose and why Wu Qiangwei was calling.

"You’re in a difficult position, unsure how to handle it?"

Wu Qiangwei softly replied with a yes.

Song Guanchao asked, "You haven’t met them yet, have you?"

"Not yet, I told them to wait outside."

"Then don’t see them. I’m on my way over; leave it to me."

Wu Qiangwei, considering her friendship with classmates, found some things hard to say and couldn’t be too harsh.

Song Guanchao also needed to consider her feelings.

Near lunchtime, Song Guanchao arrived at the City Government.

He was still wearing the shirt from the day of his detention, carrying a foul smell, his hair unwashed for several days, but his spirit was in good shape.

His appearance made Fan Jie and the others pause, quickly averting their gaze, hesitant to look at him, feeling uneasy inside.

Fan Jie’s expression was slightly stiff, thinking, why is this guy here...?

He attempted a smile and walked up, "Director Song, you’re here too."

Song Guanchao also smiled broadly, "So Mr. Fan is here; perfect, I’ll have the police come over in a bit."

Fan Jie’s smile froze, pretending not to understand, "Police? What’s Director Song talking about?"

"Nothing, you’ll know soon enough."

Song Guanchao patted his shoulder, looking at the other classmates, "The police told me you gave false testimony and framed me?"

"No!"

They immediately stood up, vehemently denying it.

What a joke; who would admit to such a thing?

Song Guanchao nodded, "I thought so too; you wouldn’t do such a thing, after all, you’re classmates with Mayor Wu."

"But the police have testimony, videos, irrefutable evidence."

"This, this..."

They wanted to explain but couldn’t find an excuse.

Just then, Song Guanchao offered them one: "Could it be that Mr. Fan forced you to give false testimony?"

They were stunned, and so was Fan Jie.

Soon, they nodded vigorously, "Yes, Fan Jie told us to say that!"

"So that’s it." Song Guanchao nodded, "When the police come, just tell the truth. You’re first-time offenders; you won’t be detained, just given a verbal warning. But you must tell the truth, understand? If you keep lying, even if the Mayor is your classmate, she can’t save you."

"Understood, understood!"

They wiped cold sweat off, already knowing Song Guanchao’s intention.

This situation wasn’t greatly concerning them.

Song Guanchao’s target wasn’t them but Fan Jie.

In fact, Song Guanchao wasn’t wrong; Fan Jie had indeed incited them.

Fan Jie’s face paled with anger.

"Director Song, this is a misunderstanding."

Song Guanchao smiled, "I hope it’s a misunderstanding; I hope the police believe you."

Damn!

Fan Jie cursed inwardly, daring not to show it on his face.

He knew he wouldn’t get anything from Song Guanchao, and as for Wu Qiangwei... wasn’t willing to see him either.

This matter had to rely on himself.

Fortunately, he hadn’t gone to the police to testify falsely, instead tricking classmates to go.

Even facing police inquiries, classmates pointing fingers, as long as he didn’t admit it, no one could touch him.

The police arrived quickly, and the classmates cooperated thoroughly, unanimously pointing out Fan Jie.

Faced with their accusations, Fan Jie stubbornly denied it.

"Officer, they’re slandering me." Fan Jie remained calm, "They went to give false testimony; I didn’t. They claim I deceived them; fine, let them prove it."

"Without evidence, it’s slander against my character."

The classmates were stunned; how could he be so shameless?

Even Song Guanchao found it amusing; no wonder he succeeded, look at his thick skin, look at his shameless demeanor, who could succeed if not him?

Listening further, Song Guanchao realized this wasn’t easy to handle.

As Fan Jie hadn’t gone to give false testimony initially, his contact with classmates was all through phone calls, and none thought to save call recordings.

Now, without tangible evidence, it couldn’t affect him.

The police looked at Song Guanchao, feeling troubled. Song Guanchao said, "No evidence, let it go."

Only then did the police breathe a sigh of relief.

Song Guanchao stood up, "Okay, everyone disperse, go have lunch."

The classmates immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Fan Jie didn’t leave.

After others left, he approached apologetically, "Director Song, please believe me. I truly don’t know why they gave false testimony, or why they’re accusing me. The whole matter isn’t related to me at all."

"Hm, not related to you, I believe you."

Song Guanchao smiled, "Does Mr. Fan have any other business?"

Fan Jie asked, "I’d like to invite Director Song for a meal."

"A meal isn’t necessary," Song Guanchao replied, "It’s a misunderstanding; let’s clear it up. Besides, you’re classmates with the Mayor; of course, I trust you."

Song Guanchao’s overly agreeable demeanor made Fan Jie increasingly uneasy inside.

A biting dog doesn’t bark.

This matter won’t just pass simply.

From understanding Song Guanchao, this guy would undoubtedly find a way to get him!
