Official Career Storm

Chapter 334: Chapter 334

"Chairman Liu, are you okay?"

"I’m fine."

Liu Lanzi shook her head but didn’t get off him.

Her legs were so weak that she could hardly walk without pain.

Song Guanchao glanced around, seeing only Ning Lin’s car and the people Lu Feng had brought.

There were five cars in total, with about a dozen young men.

Not many people, but Song Guanchao could tell at a glance that these young men brought by Lu Feng were all former soldiers.

Lu Feng was just about to come over when his phone rang.

"Hello, okay, I know. Come on down."

After hanging up, Lu Feng said, "Squad leader, Mr. Yang has been found."

"Hmm, wait for me." He walked to the car and helped Liu Lanzi down.

Liu Lanzi, leaning on the car door, limped unnaturally into the car.

Seeing her struggle, Ning Lin only felt sympathy, assuming Chairman Liu had twisted her ankle in the mountains.

But Lu Feng saw the real issue at a glance.

It didn’t look like a twisted ankle but more like excessive exertion.

He gave Song Guanchao a strange look, and when the latter glared at him, he immediately averted his gaze and turned toward the mountains, "Beautiful scenery, isn’t it?"

"..." Song Guanchao’s mouth twitched, and he kicked Lu Feng on the butt.

Lu Feng pretended to stagger forward, exaggeratingly cried out, then clutching his butt, came over and whispered, "Squad leader, why was there no strength in that kick? Didn’t you overdo it last night?"

"Stop spouting nonsense."

"Yes, no more talk!" Lu Feng had a knowing look.

He was sure, something definitely happened last night in the mountains between the squad leader and Chairman Liu.

And it was wild!

Look at the state Chairman Liu was in.

She couldn’t even walk properly.

Ten minutes later, Yang Yongcai, looking disheveled and with his clothes ripped, was brought down.

Seeing Song Guanchao, Yang Yongcai almost cried.

God knows what he had been through that night.

Cold and hungry, pitch-black without seeing a finger, any small sound would make him sweat with fear.

He also dared not sleep, fearing that if he opened his eyes, there would be a snake on him.

"Mr. Yang, get in the car."

Song Guanchao turned to Ning Lin, "Assistant Ning, just park the car at the guesthouse later."

Ning Lin asked, "Secretary Song, aren’t you returning?"

"I have some matters to take care of."

"Oh." Ning Lin did not pry further.

After she got into the car, she saw Liu Lanzi leaning back in the rear seat with her eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

From the engine starting to the car leaving, Liu Lanzi did not speak again to Song Guanchao.

Only when the car had driven far away did Liu Lanzi open her eyes and through the rearview mirror watched Song Guanchao’s increasingly tiny figure.

She sighed softly in her heart.

Let bygones be bygones.

In the future, she would still be the chairwoman of New City Company, and Song Guanchao would remain the secretary of the City Committee.

...

"Squad leader, what’s the situation now?" Lu Feng asked.

He didn’t initially take it seriously when he received the call last night.

He wasn’t a fool; he didn’t just believe what others said.

Not until he heard the nickname "Er Dan" from the other party.

Rushing over overnight, he didn’t ask much, only knowing that Song Guanchao had been forced into the mountains.

He got the news from Yang Yongcai.

They had searched all night and had found nothing.

The mountain might not look big, but it was still a mountain; searching for a few people among their small group was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

Song Guanchao took out a cigarette, lit it, and looked in the direction of Huangni Village, saying, "Personal grudge."

Lu Feng asked, "Do we need to take action?"

"Yes."

Song Guanchao asked, "Did you bring weapons?"

"Always in the car!"

"Good, follow me. When we get there, strike on sight, no killing, everything else is fair game."

"Understood!"

Lu Feng turned towards the young men and shouted, "Did you all hear the squad leader?"

"We heard!"

"Get in the car, let’s go!"

Song Guanchao got into the car and quickly guzzled down some bottled water.

He was a mess right now, barely better than a beggar on the street.

He had never felt so humiliated.

If he could swallow this insult, he wouldn’t be Song Guanchao.

Soon, the car drove into Huangni Village.

Those cars were still parked outside that courtyard.

They parked and got out.

Following Song Guanchao, they walked toward the courtyard.

The gate was still wide open, and the tables inside hadn’t been tidied up.

Not a single person was in sight.

They barged right through, straight into the house.

Upon entering the living room, what a sight it was—the floor was covered with straw mats and a bunch of ruffians were sprawled out, sleeping soundly with their bellies exposed.

There were people lying around sleeping in the rooms, too.

Song Guanchao pointed upstairs, "Go up there, don’t let a single one escape, and bring them all down."

"Boom!"

A bunch of young men, wielding iron rods, charged upstairs.

The noise woke the people in the living room and rooms.

At first, they were slightly stunned, obviously not quite awake yet.

But when they saw Song Guanchao, they snapped to.

"F*ck, he actually dared to come back!"

At that, Lu Feng and his group charged up.

They hit anyone they saw, the iron rods in their hands slamming down.

The ruffians quickly curled up on the ground, holding their heads.

They dared to spit out a few harsh words at first, but before long, there were only screams of agony and cries for mercy.

After about ten minutes, these twenty or thirty men were neatly huddled and squatting in the courtyard.

Lu Xiaotian was not there.

Having been beaten by Song Guanchao the night before, his shoulder was all but shattered; he was probably in the hospital by now.

Song Guanchao had no intentions of letting him off.

Secretary Tu didn’t want him to blow this up into a bigger issue.

This was good for Song Guanchao.

He was worried about making a scene, so even if he personally stormed into the hospital to brutally assault Lu Xiaotian, Secretary Tu could still keep it under wraps.

He approached one of them and commanded, "Look up."

The thug raised his head, his face swollen and bruised, squeezing out a smile to ingratiate himself, "Secretary Song, this really isn’t my business."

"Where is your Young Master Tian?"

"I really don’t know."

Song Guanchao stood and looked at the others, "Who knows which hospital Young Master Tian is in?"

They all shook their heads, indicating they didn’t know.

Song Guanchao didn’t waste words, "Keep beating them until they know."

The group was trembling with fear.

The men Song Guanchao had brought were really ruthless.

And their punches were incredibly heavy—though they looked lean, a single punch could knock everything out of them.

Fearfully, someone spoke up, "Renmin Hospital!"

Song Guanchao nodded in satisfaction, "Madman, have your people watch them, and you come with me to the hospital."

The two of them got in the car and left.

During the drive, his phone rang, Fu Ying was calling.

After Fu Ying received a call from Ning Lin yesterday, she had contacted the local police chief.

But Director Yao, though he verbally agreed, did not send anyone over.

She realized then that the situation was more serious than she had anticipated, probably because of County Magistrate Hou’s instructions.

Although she wanted to go herself, she knew it would be no use and besides, she had to handle county work the next day.

So, throughout the night, she called Song Guanchao every once in a while, but no one ever answered.

She just received a call from Ning Lin saying that Song Guanchao and his team had safely made it out.

"Are you all right?" Fu Ying immediately asked as the call connected.

"I’m fine, just didn’t sleep much," Song Guanchao replied with a smile, "I might need to borrow a bed at your place later."

Fu Ying blushed, "That’s good to hear, when will you be over?"

"I’ll head over after this; I’ll call you then."

After hanging up, Lu Feng asked with concern, "Squad leader, can your body handle this?"

Song Guanchao replied irritably, "What are you thinking? I’m going there to catch up on sleep."

Lu Feng nodded, "Ah, to sleep, I get it."
