Chapter 131: Chapter 131

"Fuck!"

Director Qin gritted his teeth and cursed.

He was prepared for the case to remain unsolved.

But now, it was cracked!

Solving the case is of course a good thing.

But the one who got all the attention was Liang Jianfeng!

And he had established such a huge merit!

Now, as the news reported it, the entire country knew that Lingjiang had a Deputy Director who, in the face of death, protected the hostages.

And what about him, the Director?

He wasn’t even in Lingjiang at the time!

What angered him the most was Zhou Jun’s matter.

That Liang Jianfeng was truly audacious!

Such a big incident happened, and he didn’t consult with him, but directly contacted the provincial department.

Minister Zhou’s son was kidnapped, and it was related to the kidnappers.

If it wasn’t for the provincial special task force being there, he would have really liked to point at Liang Jianfeng’s nose and curse.

At this moment,

Secretary Lu also saw the news at home.

He was equally displeased.

Such a big case, handled so beautifully, but he, as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, was not present at the scene.

All the glory went to Wu Xinan alone!

Without even thinking, he knew Wu Xinan’s name would definitely reach the provincial level.

If he came across a leader who took a liking to him, Wu Xinan might really have a chance to move up.

This was not something Secretary Lu wanted to see.

...

Inside the county guest house,

Wu Ming’s eyeballs nearly popped out after watching the video.

"Uncle Hong, has this kid gone mad? He really isn’t afraid of dying?"

Uncle Hong, puffing on a cigarette, said, "Who isn’t afraid of dying? Do you think he’s an idiot? He was prepared."

"What was he prepared with?" Wu Ming stared for a long time but couldn’t make out what Song Guanchao had prepared.

Uncle Hong said, "With his skills, at such a close distance, it would not have been difficult for him to quickly subdue the kidnapper."

"But the kidnapper still fired the gun."

"That’s inevitable," Uncle Hong said. "After all, there was a little girl involved. He had to subdue the kidnapper while ensuring the little girl’s safety; there would inevitably be some risks."

"However, he was lucky that the gun backfired."

Uncle Hong admired, "This kid is really good, he’s got guts and brains."

Wu Ming focused on the video segment where Song Guanchao punched the kidnapper’s throat to pieces, watching it over and over.

After watching it more than a dozen times, he suddenly got scared: "No, I have to talk to my sister and have her explain my identity to Song Guanchao."

He was really scared of Song Guanchao beating him up.

Just look at his methods.

That was a living person!

A punch that shattered the neck!

Too brutal!

Stepping into the next room, Wu Ming said, "Sis, did you see the news?"

"I did."

"He’s too brutal, he smashed a person to death with a single punch!"

"That was a kidnapper."

"No, that’s not the point; he’s too brutal, sis. I should just clear things up with him, otherwise, I’m afraid he’ll beat me to death."

Wu Qiangwei thought for two seconds, then shook her head, "He won’t."

Wu Ming almost spat blood.

That’s the answer you come up with after all that thinking?

"If you’re scared, then go back."

"I..."

Wu Ming was at a loss for words, and after a long while, he finally said, "Sis, why not tell him? There’s no need to hide my identity from him. Or is it that you deliberately want to mislead him?"

Wu Qiangwei immediately gave him a murderous look, and Wu Ming shrank his neck.

She took a sip of water and said indifferently, "My control over Lingjiang is still insufficient, and I don’t know enough about him; there’s no need to reveal too much to him."

Although this reason was somewhat far-fetched, Wu Ming had no choice but to accept it.

...

The next day.

Hall Director Qi of the provincial department received a phone call.

This call came directly from the Ministry of Public Security.

In the phone call, the Ministry of Public Security mentioned the cash transport vehicle case that had occurred in Lingjiang City.

They gave full recognition and praise for the command roles and performance of Director Liang and Secretary Wu in this case.

Although it was merely verbal praise and recognition, anyone with clear eyes knew what it represented.

It meant that Director Liang and Secretary Wu had entered the radar of the Ministry of Public Security.

Even a seemingly ordinary phone call could play a decisive role in the fate of these two peripheral figures from the Police Department and the Political and Legal Committee.

...

Ten o’clock in the morning.

Song Guanchao locked the hospital room door from inside and stood by the window, secretly smoking.

Two days in the hospital had almost suffocated him; the doctor had instructed him not to smoke during this period, and Liang Jiajia came every day to supervise him.

He could only sneak a puff when the nurse was away.

Just as he finished one cigarette, there came the sound of someone trying to open the door from the outside.

The person, finding the door locked, called out, "Nurse, why can’t this room be opened?"

"Oh? How can that be?" The nurse came over, tried the handle, and indeed, it would not open.

But she quickly guessed what was happening and said indignantly, "He must be in there sneaking a smoke!"

No sooner had she spoken than the door opened.

Song Guanchao, in his patient’s attire, smiled at the nurse, "Please don’t tell Officer Liang."

The nurse sniffed and huffed, "No, I must tell Officer Liang!"

Then she turned and left, leaving Song Guanchao with a pained expression.

Liang Hao watched amusedly from the side: "The Secretary of the Municipal Committee has to hide to smoke."

Song Guan Ci gave a wry smile and entered the room with him: "Why are you here? Have you finished your business?"

"Finished."

Liang Hao asked, "How’s your injury?"

"A minor one." Song Guanchao asked, "Anything new in the city today?"

"A few things."

Liang Hao took out a cigarette, then remembered this was a hospital.

Song Guanchao ran to lock the door again.

The two stood by the window and enjoyed their smoke.

Liang Hao said, "The Ministry of Public Security called the provincial department to give special praise to Secretary Wu and Director Liang, and they had high praise for that female officer as well."

"The Ministry of Public Security?" Song Guanchao was startled.

He knew the case had a big impact, but he hadn’t expected that even the Ministry of Public Security had taken notice.

And had even initiated a call.

This outcome was greater than he had imagined!

"There’s also another matter."

"Go ahead."

"You know about Minister Zhou’s son’s case, don’t you?"

"I’ve heard."

"Minister Zhou hired a lawyer; his son probably won’t face much trouble. I heard from a friend at the police station that the evidence in the case isn’t sufficient. However, the kid is involved in some other offenses, so he probably still needs to serve some time, maybe a year and a half."

"Heh." Song Guanchao scoffed.

Serving time? Once the heat of the case dies down, they’ll arrange a medical parole, and he won’t have to serve a day.

But as for wearing his police uniform again, that he can forget.

He wasn’t satisfied with Zhou Jun’s outcome, but it was already the best possible result.

"Your appointment is about to come through, isn’t it?"

"Soon, just in these next few days. Once the People’s Assembly concludes, it will come through."

Liang Hao was brimming with pride. His appointment as Vice Mayor hadn’t yet been announced, but he had already earned merits.

He was responsible for coordinating medical resources and assisting in traffic command for this case.

Although he couldn’t compare with Liang Jianfeng and the others, his command was effective.

He might be too minor for those above to take notice, but he had made himself known in the provincial government.

"Once you’re in position, see to that matter we talked about last time as soon as you can."

"Director Liu?"

"That’s right."

Song Guanchao exhaled a puff of smoke, narrowing his eyes slightly.

This case had made him wary of Secretary Lu and Mayor Zheng.

It wasn’t a big deal that Secretary Lu wasn’t in Lingjiang, but it was problematic that Mayor Zheng was in town and didn’t answer his calls, claiming he was dining with a businessperson from Hong Kong.

Didn’t bring his mobile to dinner?

What bullshit!

He used to think these two didn’t have much authority, not worth his concern.

But the events that had unfolded made him think it was better to be cautious.

Moreover, Secretary Sun was secretly dragging him down, which didn’t seem like something a secretary to an sidelined leader would do.

It wasn’t easy for him to reach into city government affairs, but within the City Committee, he needed to quickly snuff out any elements of instability at their roots, and cultivate his own people, trustworthy people!
