Chapter 249: Chapter 249

Wu Qiangwei took a bath.

Her hair had felt stuffy all night, and there was also the sticky discomfort of her underwear due to the interaction with Song Guanchao the previous night.

When she finished and came out, Song Guanchao was already dressed.

Her hair was long and dense, and it took a long time to blow it dry.

Song Guanchao said, "Secretary, I’ll go downstairs first, take your time drying your hair, there’s no rush."

Wu Qiangwei nodded and grabbed the hairdryer, saying, "I’ll head back to the city later."

"Going back today?"

Weren’t they supposed to conduct an investigation? They had arrived only yesterday, and it had been only one day and one night. Now she wanted to leave?

Wu Qiangwei said, "I have basically figured out the situation in Dujiang County. You handle the matters that follow. If there are issues you can’t resolve, tell me."

Song Guanchao opened his mouth.

Indeed, the issues of Dujiang County had become apparent, and there was no need for her to stay any longer.

Song Guanchao just rather missed sharing the same bed with her.

Even though they couldn’t really do much, just the slight rubbing was satisfying enough for him.

But now, she was leaving.

"I’ll take you back later."

"No need, I’ll go by myself."

"I’ll take you." Song Guanchao insisted, "Someone came and smashed the windows last night. I don’t feel at ease with you going alone. Moreover, it’s only a little over two hours both ways, it won’t be a delay."

Wu Qiangwei hummed in acknowledgment, and didn’t say anything further.

She couldn’t tell Song Guanchao that she had always had people secretly protecting her.

Initially, she had planned to meet Bai Ruyi after separating from Song Guanchao.

Considering the poor business environment in Dujiang County, she was somewhat worried about Bai Ruyi.

However, every time she spoke with Bai Ruyi over the phone, she never mentioned encountering any trouble.

Wu Qiangwei analyzed that this might be because Bai Ruyi was opening a clothing factory in Dujiang County, rather than dealing in real estate.

She hadn’t directly conflicted with the local officials or businessmen’s interests, so she hadn’t run into any trouble.

After drying her hair, Wu Qiangwei sent a message to Bai Ruyi, telling her she had to return to Lingjiang and couldn’t meet.

After finishing the chat, she left the building and headed downstairs.

When she arrived downstairs, she saw only Song Guanchao and neither Liu Lanzi nor Ning Lin.

She walked over and asked, "Where’s Chairman Liu?"

"They went back to Lingjiang."

Song Guanchao said while walking, "Chairman Liu plans to participate in a land auction over the weekend, so she went back to prepare the bid."

After leaving the hotel, they had breakfast nearby and then started their journey back to Lingjiang.

On the way back, Song Guanchao paid specific attention to see if someone was following them.

Sure enough, a private car had been trailing them from a distance.

Only when he drove onto the highway did the car stop following.

Back in Lingjiang, he first dropped Wu Qiangwei at her home. After changing his clothes, they both headed to the City Committee.

Wu Qiangwei’s disappearance for a day didn’t attract much attention.

At noon, Song Guanchao went to the cafeteria to get some food, and they ate together in the office.

After lunch, Song Guanchao went outside and called Fu Ying.

Learning that Song Guanchao and his group had already returned, Fu Ying was a bit surprised.

During the call, Song Guanchao asked her if there was anyone reliable in Dujiang County.

Fu Ying said, "Secretary Pei can be trusted."

"And the Disciplinary Committee?"

"Secretary Yang of the Disciplinary Committee and County Magistrate Hou are very close."

"And the Police Department?"

"Director Yao of the Police Department is also very close to County Magistrate Hou."

Song Guanchao realized that Dujiang County was even more complex than he had imagined.

In the county-level administrative regions, the importance of public security was even more significant than the proportion one city bureau would have in a city.

Typically, the Police Department was directed by the county magistrate.

But in some counties, where the top official was relatively strong-willed, the directive power over the Police Department often rested directly in their hands.

However, Fu Ying told him that Director Yao of the Dujiang County Public Security Bureau and County Magistrate Hou, who held the deputy position, were very close.

This indicated that the Dujiang County Public Security Bureau was directly overseen by County Magistrate Hou.

The fact that County Magistrate Hou could make Secretary Tu willingly delegate such significant power to him demonstrated his strong capabilities.

There were rumors from outsiders that he had ascended his position by flattering higher-ups, but those rumors were somewhat misleading.

Song Guanchao asked, "Which leader from the city is County Magistrate Hou closer to?"

"The city?" Fu Ying pondered for a few seconds before replying, "I’m not sure, they hardly interact with me at all."

For a Deputy County Magistrate, her knowledge of her colleagues was superficial, she didn’t even have a channel to know them better.

This indicated that she was isolated and marginalized.

Song Guanchao slightly furrowed his brows, wanting to know which leaders from the city were close to these Dujiang officials.

This aspect could perhaps be a breakthrough point.

Since Fu Ying lacked this knowledge, he had to find someone else who knew.

"How is the relationship between your county’s Minister of the Organization Department and County Magistrate Hou?"

"Minister Cheng doesn’t handle things, he’s a nice guy to everyone, it’s said that he’s about to retire."

"How’s your relationship with Minister Cheng?"

"Just a normal working relationship, as long as it’s according to procedure, he wouldn’t decline, but if it involves rule violations, he wouldn’t participate."

"Help me set up a meeting with this Minister Cheng."

"Tonight?"

"Yes, tonight."

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Song Guanchao returned to his office, and just as he was about to report, he found Wu Qiangwei lying on a lounge chair with her trousers down, her hand rubbing on her snow-white, round buttocks.

The sudden opening of the door caused Wu Qiangwei to panic momentarily.

Seeing Song Guanchao, Wu Qiangwei let out a sigh of relief, but quickly said sternly, "Why didn’t you knock?"

Song Guanchao’s face flushed with embarrassment, then he stepped back out and knocked, "knock knock knock."

"..." Wu Qiangwei was left speechless by his action.

"Come in."

Song Guanchao pushed the door open, only to see Wu Qiangwei’s buttocks still exposed.

Left speechless by Song Guanchao’s antics, Wu Qiangwei had forgotten about it.

She quickly grabbed a blanket to cover herself and asked, "What is it?"

Song Guanchao locked the door behind him, walked over, and said, "I’m heading back to Dujiang County later."

"Be careful on your own."

"Um," Song Guanchao nodded, his eyes falling on the position of her buttocks, then naturally picked up the red flower oil on the table, squatted beside her, and said, "Secretary, let me apply this for you."

"..." Wu Qiangwei really wanted to decline, but his motion was too natural.

Just as natural as eating, drinking water, or cracking sunflower seeds.

She softly hummed an acknowledgment, turned her head away, and lay down on the lounge chair.

Song Guanchao lifted the blanket and massaged her snow-white ample buttocks, his mind involuntarily recalling the sensation of being tightly clamped by those large buttocks last night.

Unfortunately, he was heading there alone today and would not have the chance to experience it again.

A few minutes later, he stood up and said, "Secretary, I’m leaving now."

No sooner had he stepped out of the office than he saw Liu Jie approaching.

Song Guanchao was startled; the timing was too coincidental. Had he come out a bit later, he feared Liu Jie would have been knocking on the door.

"Secretary Song, those six individuals you named during the meeting have been transferred to the police," Liu Jie spoke of the six people Song Guanchao had pointed out that day.

"Um, I know," Song Guanchao suddenly asked, "What car do you drive?"

Liu Jie was taken aback and replied, "Just a regular sedan."

"What brand?"

"It’s domestic, a second-hand car worth more than fifty thousand."

Song Guanchao stuffed the car keys into his hand, "Let’s switch cars and drive."

Looking at the Mercedes emblem on the car keys in his hand, Liu Jie was flabbergasted.

A few minutes later, Song Guanchao arrived at the parking lot, driving away in Liu Jie’s second-hand domestic sedan towards Dujiang County.

The guards at the Dujiang County highway toll station, although they kept an eye on out-of-town cars, only monitored luxury cars.

A domestic car worth tens of thousands wouldn’t attract attention.
