Official Career Storm-Chapter 1416

"Yes."

Song Guanchao roughly reported the situation to her.

Wu Qiangwei became more and more surprised as she listened.

This extremely malicious case, which had a tremendously negative impact on society, actually involved internal personnel from the Police Department.

If this matter is not handled well, it will create a massive trust crisis among the public towards government departments.

Wu Qiangwei asked, "Can it be solved?"

"Yes!"

Song Guanchao's tone was calm, revealing great confidence.

Wu Qiangwei's slightly tense emotions quietly relaxed a lot.

She smiled and said, "I'll have Wu Ming go get the money."

"I have money." Wu Qiangwei knew about those two hundred million.

She said nothing about Song Guanchao holding onto this money tightly.

Wu Qiangwei shook her head, "If you can avoid touching that money, don't."

"Alright, then have Wu Ming bring the money over."

Wu Qiangwei called Wu Ming, instructed him, and said, "He'll be waiting for you in the parking lot."

Half an hour later, he and Wu Ming arrived at the bank.

Normally, someone wanting to withdraw such a large sum of cash would need to book it at least a day in advance.

But Wu Ming didn't need such hassle, entering the bank and drinking two cups of tea, with the manager personally carrying a suitcase over.

Wu Ming stood up, not looking back, saying, "Carry it."

The comment was directed at Song Guanchao.

Song Guanchao's face darkened; this fellow was a bit cocky.

He pulled up the suitcase and followed him out.

In the car, Wu Ming asked, "Where to?"

"Back."

"Back?" Wu Ming asked, "What are you going to do with this money?"

"Go ask your sister."

"Whether you want to say it or not."

Returning to the City Government, Song Guanchao threw the cash-filled suitcase into his trunk and then called Wen Ru.

"The money is ready, contact the other party."

"Come to the City Bureau first."

"Alright."

Half an hour later, Song Guanchao walked into Wen Ru's office.

As he sat down, Wen Ru dialed the number.

"Is the money ready?" The call connected, and the other party asked directly.

"It's ready." Wen Ru asked, "Where is the transaction?"

"Drive to Chengbei Wanxianghui now."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Song Guanchao stood up, "Let's go."

The designated location was less than twenty kilometers from here.

With city speed limits, it took almost forty minutes to reach the destination.

The car stopped on the road opposite the mall, and Wen Ru dialed the other party's number once more.

"I'm here."

"Where?"

"Across from the east gate."

"What car? What's the license plate number?"

Wen Ru reported Song Guanchao's car model, color, and license plate number.

The other party hung up the phone, and about ten minutes later, they called again: "Put the money by the roadside."

Wen Ru got out of the car, took the suitcase from the trunk, and placed it by the roadside.

The other party said, "Get back in the car."

Wen Ru frowned, "I've brought the money, now it's your turn to talk."

The other party snorted, "Once I have the money, I'll talk. For now, get back in the car and leave! If you're unwilling, it doesn't matter, the deal can be canceled."

Wen Ru's face turned icy, standing in place for a moment, before relenting.

She got back into the car, and Song Guanchao slowly pressed the accelerator, his eyes glued to the rear-view mirror.

After driving two or three hundred meters, he saw a black sedan appear where the money was placed.

A skinny man wearing a mask and hat got out of the car.

The man tossed the suitcase into the trunk, opened it to confirm it was filled with money, and then closed the trunk.

Song Guanchao didn't turn around to chase.

As long as the other party reveals the main perpetrators of the jewelry store theft case, he'd gladly give them those two million.

"Can you speak now?" Wen Ru asked.

The man got into the car, looking at Song Guanchao's vehicle ahead, and said, "As long as you don't play tricks on me, I'll keep my promise. This series of thefts was orchestrated by members of your Police Department...Ah!"

Just as the man was about to reveal the names involved, he suddenly screamed.

Both of them froze.

Song Guanchao immediately looked in the rear-view mirror.

He saw a van stopping behind the man's car, seemingly out of nowhere.

Two men in their thirties got out, forcibly opened the car door, snatched the man's phone, then yanked him out, dragging him into the van.

The man's screams continued.

Just before being dragged into the van, the man shouted loudly, "It's Luo Yaowen and Chen Peng!"

The shout made it to the phone.

Song Guanchao and Wen Ru heard it clearly. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

No time for shock at the names shouted by the man, Song Guanchao immediately turned his car around, chasing after the van.

He didn't follow too closely, because he noticed that the other party seemed unaware of the transaction between the man and Wen Ru.

He stopped the car next to the man's and said, "You go drive his car, head back to the police station first."

"Alright." In such critical moments, both were decisive, not hesitating at all.

After Wen Ru got out, Song Guanchao continued following the van.

After tailing for a while, Song Guanchao became more certain of his judgment.

The other party indeed didn't know about the transaction between the man and Wen Ru.

Now the question is, who are these two people who grabbed the man?

Why did they grab him?

And they did it publicly.

So brazen, aren't they afraid someone might call the police?

Twenty minutes later, the van entered the city.

To Song Guanchao's shock, the van eventually entered a police station.

Song Guanchao had a rough guess as to the identity of the man being grabbed; it was probably the mastermind behind the jewelry store theft, Luo Yaowen!

After noting the address of the police station, Song Guanchao headed to the City Bureau immediately.

"Turns out it's Luo Yaowen and Chen Peng..."

Song Guanchao clicked his tongue in amazement.

Both were deputy directors at the Police Department.

Except, Chen Peng was already dead.

Shot and killed by the Lei Group's Lei Chengping!

Soon, he returned to the City Bureau, spotting the man's car in the parking lot.

Wen Ru had returned ahead of him.

Finding Wen Ru, Song Guanchao said, "The ones in the van were police officers."

"Police?"

"Yes, I followed them all the way and saw them enter the police station."

"Which police station?"

"Nanpaipiao Road Police Station."

"That's within Luo Yaowen's jurisdiction."

Wen Ru said, "Looks like Luo Yaowen sent people to capture him."

Song Guanchao asked, "What should we do now?"

"I'll notify Director Liang, you go and report to Mayor Wu."

"Okay."

The two split up.

Song Guanchao took the money with him and returned to the City Government.

Shu Xue saw him arrive and had just stood up when she heard him ask, "Are there any guests in the office?"

"No..."

Then she watched as Song Guanchao knocked and opened the door almost simultaneously.

Entering, he casually closed the door behind him.

Shu Xue was extremely surprised.

She noticed that Song Guanchao showed no respect typical of a subordinate towards a leader when facing Mayor Wu.

Such natural movements, almost as if he were the Mayor, and this was his office.

Wu Qiangwei heard the noise, looked up, and upon seeing his solemn expression, asked, "How's the matter being handled?"

Song Guanchao said, "The mastermind of the jewelry shop serial thefts is Deputy Director Luo Yaowen of the Police Department, as well as the deceased Deputy Director Chen Peng."
