Official Career Storm
Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Chapter 127

Song Guanchao was stunned for a moment, looking at the little girl with reddened eyes and a pained expression on her face, understanding that she was concerned about him.

"There’s nothing wrong with me."

"What if something had happened?"

Wu Yun stared at him with her eyes brimming with tears, "I heard from my dad that you were lucky, the pistol had a breach explosion. But what if it hadn’t?"

"Even if it hadn’t exploded, there wouldn’t have been a major issue, it was just the stomach, and the bullet would have passed right through."

"Hmph! Always playing the hero!"

Wu Yun turned her head and wiped the corner of her eyes.

Song Guanchao changed the subject, "By the way, about the Director Yan you were asked to look into last time, how is that going?"

"You’re still thinking about work even though you’re injured," Wu Yun huffed, clearly dissatisfied, but still said, "He and Secretary Sun are quite close, and I heard he might be transferring to the National Development and Reform Commission soon."

Song Guanchao nodded, as this was almost exactly what Chu Xiao’e had told him.

"What position does Director Yan hold?"

"Director level," Wu Yun said, "He’s been in that position for quite some time. He probably knows he can’t get promoted, so he’s thinking of transferring to another department directly under the city."

Generally speaking, to ascend from the position of Secretary of the Municipal Committee Office, one would either become a Deputy Secretary-General or directly take over as Secretary of the Municipal Committee and join the standing committee.

But currently, Chu Xiao’e was still too young, and it was unlikely for her to vacate the position anytime soon, meaning it was taken.

If Director Yan wished to advance further, transferring was his best option.

"By the way," Wu Yun said, "I heard that now even the provincial officials know your name."

"Who told you that?"

"My dad," Wu Yun said, "He mentioned that you performed very well this time."

Song Guanchao smiled, "Your dad also performed well. This time, your dad and Director Liang are definitely going to draw attention from the provincial leaders."

"What good does attention do?"

Wu Yun sighed softly, seemingly having something to say but ultimately keeping it to herself.

After chatting for a while, Wu Yun stood up from the chair, "I’m going to go now, you take care of yourself."

As she was pushing open the door, she suddenly saw a young girl approaching.

"Jiajia," Wu Yun was a bit surprised, then immediately added, "Are you here to see Song Guanchao?"

The two actually knew each other for a long time, as both their parents had worked closely in the public security system.

However, their relationship wasn’t very close; they were just regular friends.

They would visit each other’s homes during holidays.

Otherwise, they didn’t really communicate much.

Seeing Wu Yun, Liang Jiajia was also a bit surprised.

She hummed a "yes," "I came to see him, don’t you have to work today?"

"It’s after work hours now."

"Oh." Liang Jiajia gave a polite smile.

Wu Yun didn’t think much of it, assuming she was here especially after the robbery incident last night to visit Song Guanchao.

After she left, Liang Jiajia entered the sickroom.

Upon hearing Liang Jiajia’s voice, Song Guanchao’s heart skipped a beat, fearing he might witness a chaotic scene.

Fortunately, Wu Yun had already left.

Liang Jiajia had dressed casually today.

Black sports trousers, a deep-colored round-neck T-shirt, her hair casually tied in a ponytail, radiating youthful vigor.

Yet, there was not a trace of femininity, let alone sexiness.

But a beauty is a beauty, especially someone with Liang Jiajia’s athletic figure, naturally perfect for any attire.

Plain sports trousers couldn’t hide her long, straight legs.

Under the loose T-shirt, her full chest stood proud and high.

She glanced at the crowded fruit basket on the bedside table before looking at Song Guanchao who was grinning foolishly at her.

She was instantly annoyed and huffed forcefully, "Always pretending to be strong!"

Song Guanchao was frustrated. Why was everyone saying the same thing?

"Why did you get in the car last night?"

"Your dad and Secretary Wu had already gotten in. The kidnapper wasn’t releasing anyone. Under those circumstances, I had no choice but to get in."

"There was Captain Hu and the SWAT team leader!"

"They do not have my rank."

"But you shouldn’t have been so impulsive!"

As Liang Jiajia spoke, her emotions suddenly became agitated, "Do you even realize how dangerous that was? What if the kidnapper had aimed at your heart, or your head?"

"That wouldn’t happen. I knew what I was doing."

"What did you know! In that situation, who can guarantee there won’t be accidents?"

"You’re usually so calm. Why were you so impulsive last night?"

"Ah." Song Guanchao suddenly sighed, grabbed her small hand, and said, "I was afraid you would get hurt."

Liang Jiajia’s spirit was lifted, and her body trembled slightly.

From Song Guanchao’s eyes, she saw concern.

She didn’t doubt Song Guanchao’s words.

Because Song Guanchao was usually very calm; that one time they confronted gangsters on the street, he could have easily dealt with them, but he chose not to.

But last night, he was unexpectedly impulsive.

He did it for me.

Liang Jiajia was suddenly very moved.

Although Song Guanchao had never spoken sweet words of love to her, his actions in critical moments spoke louder than any sweet words could.

"Do you know how worried I was when you volunteered to replace the hostage?"

Song Guanchao’s tone became more severe.

This wasn’t just to cheer her up.

Last night, when she suddenly ran to replace the hostage, Song Guanchao almost cursed.

He had already planned everything with Wu Xinan and Liang Jianfeng, and all would have gone smoothly as planned.

Though Liang Jiajia’s presence wouldn’t affect the plan.

But the problem was, it affected the mental state of Song Guanchao and Liang Jianfeng.

She is Liang Jianfeng’s daughter, Song Guanchao’s woman.

Even the most foolproof plan still has its weak spots.

Besides guns, the kidnappers also had knives.

If the kidnapper resorted to violence and actually hurt Liang Jiajia, Song Guanchao would feel guilty for a lifetime, unable to forgive himself.

Liang Jiajia felt somewhat guilty and lowered her head, "I’m a police officer."

"So what if you’re a police officer? Does that make you invincible?"

Song Guanchao said, "In the future, when such incidents occur, you’re not allowed to rush to the front lines! I don’t care how others act, it’s none of my business, but you must not put yourself at risk! Do you understand?"

"I don’t!" Liang Jiajia suddenly looked up and retorted, "This is my job, you don’t have a say in it!"

Song Guanchao nearly choked on his breath.

He ground his teeth and said, "Speaking nicely doesn’t work, huh? Fine, wait until I’m discharged and see how I deal with you!"

Liang Jiajia’s cheeks flushed, and she muttered, "Dirty hooligan!"

She then glanced at the bandages on his abdomen and scoffed, "You’re still not behaving even though you’re injured. We’ll see who deals with who when you get out!"

"Hey, still being tough!" Song Guanchao glared and decided to teach her a lesson right then and there.

He forcefully pulled her onto the bed, clasped her small waist under her T-shirt, and his hands were about to slide under her shirt.

Just as his hands reached out, the door to the hospital room was suddenly pushed open.

Liang Jianfeng and Wu Xinan walked in one after the other.

Wu Yun, who had left and returned, unexpectedly followed the two back.

Seeing the two on the bed playfully wrestling and close together, Wu Yun’s expression instantly froze.
