Official Career Storm

Chapter 130: Chapter 130

"Hello, Secretary Song."

Zhou Qian suppressed her excitement, her tone calm and indifferent, betraying no signs of emotion.

Song Guanchao directly asked, "Miss Zhou, do you have time now?"

"Yes," she blurted out, then quickly added, "Does Secretary Song want to meet me?"

"Yes, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Then I’ll go to the hospital now."

She could no longer contain her emotions, which showed through her joyful speech.

Song Guanchao noticed but didn’t think much of it, assuming it was just her gratitude for his actions the previous day.

Zhou Qian quickly arrived at the hospital.

After meeting, Song Guanchao got straight to the point, "Miss Zhou, did you record everything last night?"

"Yes," Zhou Qian said, "Also, I got the surveillance footage from the car."

"I plan to broadcast it tonight, Secretary Song, you should be prepared for it to be a big hit."

When she smiled, revealing her small canine teeth, she looked very adorable.

Song Guanchao said, "Miss Zhou, I’d like to ask you for a favor."

"What is it?" Zhou Qian’s heart fluttered.

It was rare for Song Guanchao to seek her help.

"I hope you focus the report on Director Liang, Secretary Wu, and the female officer who substituted for the hostage."

"Ah?" Zhou Qian looked puzzled. "What about you?"

"Just report on me casually, but it would be best to emphasize those three, especially Director Liang and Secretary Wu."

Zhou Qian’s brows slightly furrowed, unable to understand why Song Guanchao wanted this.

After a long pause, she said seriously, "Secretary Song, did Secretary Lu tell you to do this?"

"What does Secretary Lu have to do with this?" Song Guanchao was taken aback, only realizing after a moment what she meant.

She thought the tone of this publicity had been set by the higher-ups.

Seeing her indignant expression, Song Guanchao shook his head and smiled, "It has nothing to do with Secretary Lu."

"I don’t believe it!"

Zhou Qian stubbornly believed it must be the leaders’ request.

Otherwise, how could Song Guanchao, an insider, willingly give up such a good opportunity for publicity?

This was a rare chance for positive publicity.

And it was even rarer to have the entire footage of the event.

No official would give up such an opportunity.

Seeing her disbelief, Song Guanchao felt a bit vexed.

With patience, he explained, "Miss Zhou, you were there yesterday, let me ask you, who do you think made the greatest contribution?"

"Director Liang, but..."

"There are no ’buts’," Song Guanchao said. "It is undeniable that Director Liang made the greatest contribution!"

"Also, you should know the identity of that female officer; she and Director Liang are father and daughter. A father and daughter faced violent criminals to protect the hostages and were willing to risk their own lives in a swap."

"And I, too, was inspired by their fearless spirit, which is why I followed."

"Although I subdued one of the robbers, compared to Director Liang, Secretary Wu, and Officer Liang, what does that really count for?"

"It’s just that I was injured, so the focus has been on me."

Listening to Song Guanchao’s analysis, Zhou Qian found herself at a loss for words.

Everything he said was both reasonable and factual.

"Then, then..." Zhou Qian bit her lip, struggling for a long time before finally saying, "I’ll publicize everyone, but mainly focus on the three of them."

That was exactly what Song Guanchao wanted to hear.

"Thank you, Miss Zhou."

"No need to thank me, you saved me yesterday..."

"One matter at a time; you’ve already thanked me for last night."

Zhou Qian, her dark eyes glittering, said, "If you want to thank me, take me out for dinner."

"Deal, after I get discharged from the hospital."

Song Guanchao also wanted to get to know this TV station’s leading lady.

Who knows, he might need her help in the future.

That night.

The news of three robbers attacking the cash transport vehicle of Lingjiang Bank broadcast over the Lingjiang urban channel.

For a full half-hour, the reporting centered solely on this case.

As one of the hostages taken by the robbers, Zhou Qian told her harrowing experience in person.

The live videos released afterwards gripped the viewers, all staring wide-eyed, their hearts nearly stopping.

They saw Zhou Qian forgo her chance to exit the vehicle first in order to protect a little girl.

They watched as Officer Liang Jiajia threw away her handgun, handcuffed herself, and boarded the car to replace the hostage.

They watched as Director Liang and Secretary Wu also handcuffed themselves to replace the hostages.

Especially these two officers, who were father and daughter.

At that moment, the brilliance of humanity and the selflessness of the police officers brought tears to every viewer’s eyes.

Watching them fearlessly enter the van with ramrod-straight backs, their figures loomed large.

After Song Guanchao entered the van, the tension peaked.

The viewers spotted the gun behind Song Guanchao.

When Director Liang grabbed the handle of the gun, everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

When the robber commanded Song Guanchao to stand up and approach, the viewers’ heartbeats nearly stopped.

And when Song Guanchao fearlessly lunged at the robber while pretending to adjust his mask, and the gunshot rang out, everyone’s eyes widened.

But before they could brace themselves, Director Liang had already risen and shot the second robber dead.

As the third robber drew his gun to fire, Director Liang, in what seemed a near-suicidal act, used his body to block the gun and shot the third robber dead at close range!

When the dust had settled, the audience in front of the TV finally exhaled long breaths.

It was as if they had watched a classic Hollywood-style cop and robber movie!

No, this was even more thrilling than a cop movie!

This footage cemented the terms "people’s police" and "hero" in the viewers’ minds.

Unsurprisingly, this news soared to the top searches of major websites and forums as soon as it was reported.

Additionally, Lingjiang TV Station released the complete video.

The likes quickly surpassed a million!

[This is what the people’s police are, this is what a hero is!]

[This veteran officer is awesome, three shots fired, one to the forehead, one to the chest, and one to the neck, every bullet hit its mark!]

[The most touching part is that he didn’t care about the danger to himself when facing the third robber, using his body to block the gun; it absolutely made me cry]

[He is the Deputy Chief of the Lingjiang City Public Security Bureau!]

[Who is that young man who lunged at the robber? He’s fierce!]

[He is the secretary of the Deputy Secretary of the Lingjiang Municipal Committee, Song Guanchao!]

[The female officer and Secretary Wu are also very admirable]

[The key point is that they are father and daughter, if anything had happened, it would have been a great tragedy]

[They are all very brave!]

[Zhou Qian is also very brave, she had the chance to get off but thought of letting the little girl go first]

Suddenly, the identities of Liang Jianfeng and the three others spread online.

Their heroic actions deeply imprinted in the hearts of all netizens.

Yet, while some celebrate, others worry.

At this moment, Director Qin and Secretary Lu’s faces were as dark as water, nearly crushing the remote controls in their hands.
