Chapter 143: Chapter 143

Wu Qiangwei was taken aback for a moment; how odd did that statement sound?

In her confusion, she noticed Song Guanchao’s gaze and suddenly understood.

"Song Guanchao!"

Her face turned cold, and anger surged within her.

This jerk, becoming bolder by the day, dared to flirt with her!

"What’s wrong with the secretary?" Song Guanchao feigned confusion, his eyes clear.

Wu Qiangwei parted her red lips to scold him, but Song Guanchao’s pretense of ignorance made her feel like she was punching cotton—powerless.

She took several deep breaths to calm herself down and said, "Get out!"

Song Guanchao left the office, and a flush of shame rose on Wu Qiangwei’s calm face.

Jerk!

This Song Guanchao was really becoming more presumptuous!

...

Song Guanchao leaned back in his chair, pondering the evidence left by Li Fuhai.

Li Fuhai was in charge of education, and the evidence he held was related to the education department and some school leaders.

He didn’t really have any interactions with the City Committee.

But that didn’t matter.

None of these system insiders had clean hands.

If he wanted to investigate, he could always find an issue.

It would just take some effort and time.

He took out his phone and called Lu Feng.

"Madman, keep an eye on someone for me."

"Just tell me, team leader."

...

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

The incidents at the City Committee were gradually settling down.

Yan Dahai also came back the next day, and he was much more low-key than before.

This incident had taught him a lesson.

As a director, there was no need for him to make mortal enemies.

Liu Jie was still handling his grandfather’s affairs and needed a few more days to return.

The City Committee hadn’t decided how to deal with Liu Jie yet.

Wu Qiangwei didn’t intervene; neither did Chu Xiao’e. They left it entirely to Secretary Sun to handle.

It was a gesture of full respect to Secretary Lu.

Externally, it showed the unity and harmony of the City Committee.

These days, Song Guanchao was also gathering evidence against Yan Dahai.

But Yan Dahai had been too low-key and honest recently.

Lu Feng had been watching him for a week and couldn’t gather any useful evidence.

This made Song Guanchao a bit restless.

He couldn’t delay any longer; he had to find evidence against him quickly.

He didn’t aim to imprison him, just to impact him enough to remove him from the position of Secretary of the Municipal Committee.

Just as Song Guanchao was contemplating which tactics to use, a graceful figure approached.

Song Guanchao looked up to see Wu Yun suddenly appearing before him, and he was momentarily startled.

Ever since the day Wu Yun had caught him and Liang Jiajia in the hospital room, the two had not been in contact.

Now that Wu Yun was approaching him proactively, Song Guanchao felt unusually uneasy and even a bit guilty.

"Are you busy?" Wu Yun asked.

"Not busy."

Song Guanchao quickly stood up, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.

"Do you have time for lunch?"

"Yes."

"There’s a Japanese restaurant on Temple Front Road, you’re buying."

"Oh, okay..."

He nodded somewhat blankly, and Wu Yun had already turned and left.

Watching her retreating figure, Song Guanchao wondered to himself, what does this girl mean?

Noon.

Sushi restaurant.

Song Guanchao looked at Wu Yun sitting across from him, the young girl had lost her usual cheerful smile and wore a cold, stern expression on her petite face.

A waiter brought over plates of sushi. Song Guanchao looked at the table full of sashimi and turned his head, "Bring a bowl of rice."

The waiter replied, "I’m sorry, sir, we don’t serve rice."

Wu Yun rolled her eyes elegantly, "Bring a portion of sushi then."

"Alright." The waiter quickly brought over a plate of sushi.

Wu Yun picked one up and placed it on his plate, "Eat it."

Song Guan Ci eyed the sushi, examining it from left to right, "Isn’t this just rice?"

Wu Yun took a deep breath, "This is sushi."

"The name is different, but it’s essentially rice."

"..." Wu Yun decided not to argue this pointless topic.

Song Guanchao chewed the sushi and commented, "It tastes weird, but it’s not bad."

Wu Yun couldn’t help asking, "Have you never eaten Japanese food before?"

"I have."

"Then you act like you haven’t."

"If I didn’t act like this, how would I have gotten your attention?"

"You..." Wu Yun widened her eyes in realization; he had done it on purpose.

"Hmph!"

Wu Yun put down her chopsticks and looked at him, asking, "Are you dating Liang Jiajia?"

"Yeah." Song Guanchao nodded, candidly admitting it.

Although Liang Jiajia always denied their relationship, as a man, Song Guanchao couldn’t shamelessly deny they were a couple.

Wu Yun, unconvinced, continued to inquire, "Did... did you two sleep together?"

Song Guanchao looked puzzled, "Which?"

"I mean, have you slept together!" Having asked this, Wu Yun’s face turned completely red.

Song Guanchao was straightforward, nodding, "Yes."

Hearing his answer, the blush on Wu Yun’s face faded, leaving a deep sense of disappointment flowing in her eyes.

"Jerk!"

She bit her lip, muttering softly.

She suddenly felt very aggrieved, her eyes reddening as she questioned, "You have a girlfriend, why are you messing with me?"

Song Guanchao dropped his smile, his tone became sincere, "That’s my fault, I apologize, I’m sorry."

"Who asked for your apology!"

Wu Yun’s voice choked a bit, she raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes and asked, "Song Guanchao, did you approach me because of my father?"

Song Guanchao nodded, "Yes."

"Scoundrel!"

Tears finally broke free and streamed down her cheeks.

Ever since she saw Liang Jiajia with him in the hospital ward, she had thought a lot.

She suddenly realized that every time Song Guanchao approached her, there was an ulterior motive.

She had still harbored some fantasies, hoping to hear something different from Song Guanchao’s mouth.

But he admitted it.

At this moment, she suddenly felt very sad.

She kept wiping her tears, sobbing, "Scoundrel, big scoundrel! Why do you do this! Can’t you just lie to me?"

Song Guanchao sighed, "Although I’m not a good person, I can’t continually deceive women."

Wu Yun bit her lip, tears streaming down as she looked at the man before her, she found herself heartbroken yet unable to despise him.

She couldn’t bring herself to dislike this man at all.

Wu Yun sniffed, "Song Guanchao, look at me."

Song Guanchao met her gaze.

Wu Yun’s eyes, misted with tears, almost pierced into his soul.

Her voice trembled, word by word, she asked, "Have you ever liked me?"

After asking, she suddenly felt scared, afraid of hearing an answer that would hurt her even more.

Her determined eyes suddenly became hesitant and unsettled, her gaze wavering, no longer able to meet his eyes.

Facing her gaze, Song Guanchao nodded, "Yes."
