Official Career Storm
Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Chapter 12

Liang Hui’s figure was slender and graceful, her black lingerie cradling her pronounced curves, creating a deep and seductive cleavage.

Beneath her flat and firm belly, black lace panties clung to her full and shapely buttocks, which were followed by two straight legs that fit snugly against each other.

The delicate elasticity of a young woman’s skin could easily ignite a man’s most primal desires.

Liang Hui nibbled on her lower lip, her eyes sultry like silk, her alluring appearance almost impossible to resist.

She twisted her waist and hips, drawing a breathtaking curve as she moved closer to Song Guanchao, her voice enchanting, "Brother Song..."

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She hastily pulled out her phone from her purse, it was a call from Liang Hao.

She hesitated for a moment, then answered in front of Song Guanchao.

"Hello, brother..."

"Where are you?"

"I’m with Brother Song."

"Have you slept with him?"

"No."

"Phew." Liang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Bring him to the teahouse."

"Now?"

"Yeah, right now."

"Okay, I got it."

After hanging up, Liang Hui quickly slipped on her sundress and said, "Brother Song, my brother would like to invite you for tea."

Liang Hao wants to see me?

At this time...

Could it be that he has sensed something amiss?

That shouldn’t be.

Li Fuhai has already been taken away by the Disciplinary Committee, he would have to have incredibly far-reaching connections to know so soon that I’m bluffing.

"I’ll take a shower, wait here for me."

Song Guanchao went into the room to grab his clothes and took a cold shower.

After the shower, Song Guanchao said, "Let’s go."

On the way, Song Guanchao pondered, what could be so urgent that Liang Hao needed to see him?

Half an hour later, the car stopped beneath a teahouse.

"Brother Song, let’s go in."

Liang Hui led him into the teahouse, up to the second floor, and into a private room.

In the room, there was only Liang Hao.

"Mr. Liang."

Song Guanchao smiled faintly. As soon as his bottom touched the seat, Liang Hao tossed him a cigarette, then lit one for himself.

Liang Hao puffed out smoke and spoke to himself, "I’ve heard, Li Fuhai was reported for taking money and not doing the work. But the intermediary insists that the issue was caused by Brother Song’s driver deceiving others, and the Disciplinary Committee found over a million in cash at your home."

"Logically speaking, with people and evidence against you, you can’t escape imprisonment."

"How convenient, just before the Disciplinary Committee got to you, you came to me and gave me evidence of Li Fuhai’s corruption."

"And now, Li Fuhai has been detained, and it is proven that you were being framed."

At this point, Liang Hao leaned back slightly and looked at Song Guanchao slantwise, "If I’m not mistaken, Brother Song, you brought this evidence, didn’t you?"

"Brother Song, you truly have the courage and attentiveness of an ex-soldier!"

He leaned forward slowly, inching towards the table like a predator on the prowl, his eyes narrowed, he uttered slowly and deliberately, "Brother Song, there’s no one backing you up, is there?"

The atmosphere in the tearoom was now freezing, filled with the tense sensation of an impending storm.

On the surface, Song Guanchao appeared calm, but inside, he was extremely surprised.

Liang Hao was smarter than he had thought, unraveling the night’s events so swiftly.

Although it was just speculation.

But, doubt had already been sown.

Seeing his stance, he was determined to get to the bottom of it and wouldn’t rest until he had a definite answer.

Beside him, Liang Hui listened in astonishment.

He has no backing?

Song Guanchao flicked the ash from his cigarette and faced Mr. Liang’s sharp gaze with calm, making eye contact as he spoke, "It seems like Mr. Liang is not too interested in the position of Vice Mayor."

"Ha ha ha."

Liang Hao laughed heartily and said, "What are you talking about, Brother Song? I was just making a casual guess."

He then quickly changed the subject, asking, "Brother Song, we are in the same boat now, aren’t we?"

Song Guanchao smiled and responded, "Mr. Liang, I’m just a messenger."

Liang Hao pressed, "Then tell me, Brother Song, whose message are you delivering?"

Song Guanchao knew he had to say something.

Though Liang Hao was just the Secretary of the District Committee, in his jurisdiction, this small patch of land, he was the ultimate authority.

If he didn’t give a satisfactory answer today, he might not be able to walk out of this door.

Song Guanchao sighed inwardly, What the hell is this situation!

Just out of the tiger’s den and immediately into the wolf’s lair.

The officialdom is like a battlefield, no one who has climbed to a certain position is simple.

This game is not easy to break.

With half a cigarette left, he took a deep drag, exhaled a thick plume of smoke, and casually flicked the cigarette butt into the teacup; with a plop, the ash swirled in the tea, emitting a nauseating smell.

Song Guanchao leaned back and said, "Isn’t Mr. Liang curious why I knew beforehand that Li Fuhai was going to frame me?"

Liang Hao’s expression flickered slightly; naturally, he was curious.

Song Guanchao was just a lowly driver, and with Li Fuhai as the Vice Mayor, wanting to pin the crime on him was something he should not have known in advance.

But Song Guanchao did know.

Song Guanchao continued, "Isn’t Mr. Liang curious why out of everyone, it was you who was approached?"

Liang Hao’s mind raced, but he couldn’t come up with an answer immediately.

He laughed and said, "Of course I’m curious, which is why I asked Brother Song over, to enlighten me."

This guy is really tough to deal with!

Song Guanchao pointed upward and shook his head, "Mr. Liang, don’t make it difficult for me. Without ’his’ word, I can’t say anything. If I speak today, you can really forget about the Vice Mayor position."

"All I can say is, the evidence against Li Fuhai has long been in hand. The position of Vice Mayor must be vacated."

"As for who will take over, that’s not a decision a lowly driver like me can make."

"So, please don’t make it hard for me, Mr. Liang."

Liang Hui listened from the sidelines, her heart pounding with fear.

Li Fuhai’s downfall had been plotted well in advance.

But who exactly was orchestrating it?

After a long silence, Liang Hao picked up his teacup and said with a smile, "Come, Brother Song, let’s have some tea."

For now, this hurdle was seemingly over.

Exiting the teahouse, Liang Hui offered to escort him, but Song Guanchao refused and left alone by taxi.

Liang Hui returned to the teahouse, and Liang Hao asked, "Why have you come back?"

"He didn’t let me escort him," Liang Hui pouted, feeling dubious about her own charm after being rejected by Song Guanchao repeatedly.

Liang Hao asked, "Did you go to his house before, did you not sleep with him?"

"No, he wouldn’t allow it."

Liang Hao clicked his tongue sympathetically.

"Brother, who could be backing him?" she wondered.

"It’s hard to say."

"He couldn’t really be bluffing, could he?"

"It’s unclear."

"I feel like he is just bluffing!" Liang Hui declared. "He’s only been discharged for a month, and he’s been Li Fuhai’s driver for half a month. Where could he have found such connections in officialdom? How could a big shot make use of him?"

Liang Hao shook his head. "I feel that precisely because he’s new to officialdom and relatively clean, he might catch the eye of some big shot."

"And, if he is indeed bluffing, then the young man’s tactics are truly somewhat terrifying."

"One person, in one day, managed to totally discredit a Vice Mayor. The sheer ability to do that proves he’s no ordinary person."

"A person like this, just needs to seize one or two opportunities, and he will surely soar to great heights!"

"And besides, he still has evidence against me..."

Liang Hao let out a long sigh, "I actually hope he does have someone powerful backing him."

He rubbed his temples vigorously and said, "No matter what, we should keep in touch for now. Don’t get too close, but don’t offend him either."
