Chapter 349: Chapter 349

City Committee, meeting room.

Secretary Wang had someone bring him here specially.

In the office, Zhang Kai stared at the letter in his hand, lost in thought.

The content of the letter almost made his heart leap out of his throat, and he broke out in cold sweat all over.

This isn’t my letter!

But the letter was found in the drawer of his room.

If not him, then who?

Nobody would believe him even if he denied it.

Even he didn’t believe himself.

Zhang Kai’s heart rate accelerated, and his mind was a mess.

"Have a cigarette."

A Disciplinary Committee staff member handed him a cigarette. His hands trembled as he took it, and the other person lit it for him.

After a deep inhale, Zhang Kai gradually calmed down and his brain regained the ability to think.

He roughly guessed who had written this letter.

Yan Dahai!

It must be him!

Though unclear how he managed to place the letter in his house, there couldn’t be anyone else but him.

He was torn about whether to confess.

After much hesitation, he suddenly realized that whether he admitted it or not didn’t actually matter.

From the moment the letter was found, nothing he said would make any difference.

Outside the meeting room, Secretary Wang waited for Wu Qiangwei and Secretary Lu.

Wu Qiangwei asked, "What’s the matter?"

Secretary Wang’s call was unclear, only stating that it was something urgent.

Secretary Wang said, "Please have a seat, Secretary Lu and Secretary Wu, and wait a moment. Mayor Zheng will be here soon. This matter involves him, we’ll discuss it when he arrives."

They went into the adjacent meeting room to wait and drink tea.

About twenty minutes later, Mayor Zheng arrived.

Secretary Wang coughed and handed the photocopied letter to the three of them, saying, "This letter of accusation was found at Zhang Kai’s house this morning."

After reading the letter of accusation, Wu Qiangwei was very surprised.

She was curious how Song Guanchao managed to have this letter appear in Zhang Kai’s house.

This guy, his schemes were just endless.

Secretary Lu’s face looked very bad, and Mayor Zheng’s expression was even more grim.

He set down the letter and noticed Wu Qiangwei looking at him with displeasure.

Mayor Zheng’s face twitched.

Clearly, Wu Qiangwei took the content of the letter seriously and thought that he had secretly targeted Song Guanchao.

A barrage of curses raced through Mayor Zheng’s mind.

He glanced at Secretary Lu, took a deep breath, and without explaining, he coldly said to Secretary Wang, "Secretary Wang, please make sure to investigate thoroughly! I want to know who is behind tarnishing my reputation!"

With that, Secretary Lu tore the photocopy to shreds and slammed the door violently.

The loud bang startled several secretaries and Disciplinary Committee staff outside.

They had heard about Mayor Zheng’s explosive temper, but this was too much.

Secretary Lu smiled and said, "Secretary Wang, make sure to investigate thoroughly."

He then stood up and left.

Wu Qiangwei said nothing, as if she had watched a good show.

Secretary Wang sat in the office, smoking sullenly, feeling irritable.

Had Zhang Kai lost his mind?

Everything was supposed to be minimized, and yet he created an accusation letter!

What was wrong with him?

And he was also confused about something.

The rumors about Song Guanchao were definitely orchestrated by Yan Dahai.

Yan Dahai was most likely backed by Secretary Lu.

But now, Zhang Kai’s accusation letter explicitly stated that Mayor Zheng was behind Yan Dahai!

He was baffled.

Could it be that Secretary Lu had instructed him to do this?

But what would Secretary Lu gain from this?

Mayor Zheng was no fool.

From his furious reaction just now, he also believed that Secretary Lu had instructed Zhang Kai to write this letter of accusation.

"He deliberately wanted to stir trouble by directing it towards Wu Qiangwei, creating conflict between him and her."

"I just don’t understand, I don’t understand at all."

Secretary Wang had always considered himself a clever person, who could navigate well on the political stage. He managed to maintain good relationships with various leaders.

Occasionally, there were those shortsighted enough to covet his position, wanting to secretly sabotage him.

But he had adeptly resolved all those attempts.

Now, however, he found himself completely unable to comprehend Secretary Lu’s maneuvers.

To him, such behavior was a classic case of more trouble than it was worth.

He had considered the possibility that the letter was forged.

But the problem was, the letter had been found in Zhang Kai’s home.

...

"Secretary, this letter is definitely not written by Zhang Kai!"

Secretary Sun looked at the photocopy of the accusation letter, utterly shocked.

Secretary Lu said, "Song Guanchao could have handed Zhang Kai over to the police, but he didn’t do so."

Secretary Sun frowned, "Do you mean, Secretary, that Song Guanchao had Zhang Kai do this?"

After saying this, he immediately added, "He doesn’t wish to hand it over to the police, but now with this accusation letter, he has no choice! Secretary, I suggest we immediately contact Director Qin to initiate an investigation into this matter!"

"As long as Song Guanchao steps out to stop the investigation, it’ll prove that he’s the instigator!"

"Foolish!" Secretary Lu rebuked. "Song Guanchao won’t step out."

"Why?"

"Mayor Zheng has been implicated!"

Secretary Lu said, "Once the investigation starts, whether or not it is his fault, the blame will land on his head! He won’t allow the investigation to proceed."

"Moreover, once I make this call, whether or not this letter has anything to do with me, Mayor Zheng will think that I instigated it."

As he said this, Secretary Lu suddenly laughed, "I underestimated our Secretary Wu."

He truly hadn’t anticipated that Wu Qiangwei’s counterstrike would be so sharp!

It precisely targeted his vulnerability.

He could affirm that this accusation letter was definitely Wu Qiangwei’s tactic.

But knowing did no good.

Such a statement, said aloud, would be believed by no one.

While laughing, Secretary Lu’s expression darkened again: "Please leave."

Secretary Sun swallowed hard, sensing Secretary Lu’s dissatisfaction with him.

If it weren’t for his carelessness in handling affairs, which allowed Song Guanchao to apprehend Zhang Kai, there would have been no such issue.

Secretary Lu’s plan was perfect; it was he who had slipped in execution.

"Secretary, this matter, it’s my fault."

"Hmm, go on out," Secretary Lu didn’t lay blame.

Blame was pointless after the fact.

From this incident, he had gleaned a general assessment of Secretary Sun’s capabilities.

His capability amounted to, having no capability.

Even a task that a three-year-old could handle, he had botched.

He had thought about letting Secretary Sun stay for a while longer.

Now, that was no longer an option.

He needed to replace his secretary soon.

After all, a godlike opponent is less to be feared than a pig-like teammate.

And Secretary Sun was that pig.

An outright foolish pig!

Just as Secretary Sun left, Secretary Lu grabbed the landline and dialed Chu Xiao’e’s internal number.

"Secretary Chu, are you available now?"

A few minutes later, Chu Xiao’e arrived at the office.

Though she was the Secretary of the Municipal Committee, the number of times she had met alone with Secretary Lu were few.

"Secretary Lu, you wanted to see me?"

"Please take a seat, Secretary Chu."

Secretary Lu personally poured her a cup of tea and said, "If you have the time, Secretary Chu, I’d like to view the archives of the Secretariat."

"The Secretariat?"

Chu Xiao’e was inwardly surprised.

Was Secretary Lu planning to change his secretary?

Secretary Lu said cheerfully, "Secretary Sun might be transferred elsewhere soon; I need to find someone to familiarize him with the environment beforehand."

Chu Xiao’e nodded thoughtfully, "Alright, I’ll have Secretary Xu send over the files later."
