Chapter 35: Chapter 35

Song Guanchao, though he kept his head down, his attention had been on Fu Cheng all along.

Seeing Fu Cheng answer the call, Song Guanchao quickened his pace.

But in the next second, he saw Fu Cheng look up at him.

Rage blazed in his eyes.

Song Guanchao inwardly cursed, realizing it was bad news.

Even though he didn’t know who made that call,

It was obvious that Fu Cheng had figured out what had happened.

As Fu Cheng stood up from his seat, Song Guanchao reached towards a nearby table.

Next to the table, a couple was dining.

Suddenly, the woman saw a large hand appear.

Then, the knife she was using to cut her steak was snatched away by the other party.

The woman reflexively looked up, only to witness a scene she would never forget.

The moment Song Guanchao grabbed the steak knife, Fu Cheng’s hand had already reached toward his waist, gripping his service weapon.

He raised the gun, the dark muzzle aimed straight at Song Guanchao!

Outside the restaurant, Yu Gang, Liang Hao, Li Zhihe, along with Xiao Chenggong and Hu Zhengrong, all witnessed this scene.

"Damn!"

He really pulled out a gun!

The calm on Xiao Chenggong’s face was gone.

The others also widened their eyes, their hearts suddenly leaping to their throats.

It was all happening in the blink of an eye.

"Whoosh!"

"Thud."

Two consecutive sounds.

A stainless steel steak knife, moving at a terrifying speed, flew across the restaurant, leaving a trail of silver light in its wake.

Then it pierced through the wrist of Fu Cheng’s gun-holding hand with precision.

"Ah!"

Fu Cheng cried out in pain, unable to hold onto the handgun any longer, dropping it on the dining table.

He staggered backward, clutching his wrist, his face twisted in agony.

Liang Jiajia was still unaware of what had happened.

But she reacted quickly, snatching the gun into her own hands.

At the same time.

Song Guanchao had already closed in, grabbed Fu Cheng’s uninjured left hand, and with a back throw, slammed him onto the floor.

Then he twisted his arm behind him, stepped on his back, and completely subdued him.

The commotion quieted the second floor of the restaurant instantly.

All patrons turned to look in their direction.

They hadn’t seen clearly what had happened, only that Fu Cheng had been thrown to the ground with a knife sticking out from his wrist.

Only a few diners had seen the gun, witnessed Song Guanchao’s knife-throwing action, and the process of subduing Fu Cheng.

"Are you okay?" Song Guanchao turned to ask.

Liang Jiajia shook her head, eyeing the gun, "How did he have a gun?"

Song Guanchao could only offer a bitter smile, "We just found out ourselves."

By then, the police stationed on the second floor had already charged over, taking out handcuffs and locking up Fu Cheng.

Other officers quickly followed suit.

"Song Guanchao, I won’t let you get away with this!"

"Liang Jiajia, you traitor! You actually betrayed me!"

Fu Cheng bellowed in anger.

Song Guanchao chuckled, "Talk about it when you get out."

The police took control of Fu Cheng and carried him away, taking the service weapon with them.

Half an hour later, everyone had returned to the police station.

After Song Guanchao finished giving his statement and came out, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed over, gratefully shaking his hand, "Mr. Song, thanks to you for tonight’s incident!"

"And you are?"

"I’m the director of Longjiang Road Police Station, Qi Peng."

Song Guanchao suddenly understood.

No wonder he was so agitated.

After all, Fu Cheng was one of his men.

Suspended but still carrying a gun against regulations, and even pulling it out!

Had Song Guanchao not stopped him in time, something major would have happened tonight!

Any incident involving a gun is no small matter!

Had this issue escalated, Qi Peng’s position would have been the first to be stripped away!

Even now, with Fu Cheng arrested, he would still face disciplinary action.

It’s just not that serious.

"Chief Qi, you don’t have to be so polite."

Song Guanchao smiled. Tonight’s incident meant that both Qi Peng and Yu Gang were in his debt.

No, even the traffic police team’s Li Zhihe and Liang Hao owed him favors now.

Song Guanchao turned to Yu Gang and asked, "Director Yu, did you check his phone?"

"We did."

"Who was the caller for that phone call he got? Right after he took it, he knew he was being arrested and that’s when he pulled out his gun."

"Cough cough." Yu Gang looked a bit embarrassed and glanced at Qi Peng. "There’s been a bit of a misunderstanding here. That call... It was Chief Qi who made it."

"Chief Qi made the call?"

"Yes..." Qi Peng was also quite awkward as he briefly explained the situation.

After hearing it, Song Guanchao was silent.

This was such a fucked up mess!

This Qi Peng was really a brainless fool!

He actually called Fu Cheng to ask if he was carrying his service weapon.

Jesus...

That call nearly got him killed!

Seeing the resentful look in Song Guanchao’s eyes, Qi Peng hurriedly said, "It was my mistake, but I really didn’t know the situation at the time..."

Song Guanchao waved his hand, indicating that it was water under the bridge.

He asked again, "Did Chief Zhang get a handle on it?"

"People have been dispatched to arrest him."

"Okay, then there’s nothing left for me to do here."

Song Guanchao went to the lobby and found Hu Zhengrong and a few others smoking.

These two senior leaders had been dragged into a busy night thanks to him.

"Captain Hu, Xiao Ban, I’m really sorry for troubling you so much tonight and keeping you from resting."

"What are you talking about?"

Hu Zhengrong said, "You really have some skills, kid. Damn, how did you end up driving for Secretary Wu?"

He patted Song Guanchao on the back and said, "Remember, my door is always open for you! Whenever you want to come by, just do it!"

"Thank you, Captain Hu!"

"Alright, I’m off. Old Xiao, let’s go together."

After the two left, Liang Hao and Li Zhihe standing aside breathed a sigh of relief.

They were finally able to send these two formidable figures off.

Liang Hao’s look at Song Guanchao had changed.

He had thought this guy was backed by Secretary Wu.

But now it seemed that wasn’t the whole story.

He even had connections with the Armed Police Department, and those ties were solid!

Liang Hao quietly felt fortunate that he hadn’t rushed to deal with Song Guanchao.

Song Guanchao approached them, "Mr. Liang, Captain Li, thank you for all the trouble tonight."

"Don’t mention it." Li Zhihe offered a cigarette and said, "Tonight, we really owe Brother Song."

Song Guanchao’s eyebrows raised slightly, sensing the goodwill and the desire to connect coming from Li Zhihe.

Liang Hao also said, "If it weren’t for Brother Song tonight, I might have ended up on Captain Hu’s bad side."

Song Guanchao just smiled, choosing not to be too modest.

At that moment, Liang Jiajia came out and said, "Song Guanchao, let me drive you home."

"Alright."

"Mr. Liang, Captain Li, I’ll be leaving first."

After a greeting, Song Guanchao and Liang Jiajia left the station.

Li Zhihe smacked his lips, "Old Liang, what’s the deal with this Brother Song? He sure has some solid connections."

Liang Hao shook his head, "You’re asking me, but who am I supposed to ask?"

...

In the car.

Liang Jiajia asked, "What exactly happened tonight? Why was Fu Cheng arrested?"

Song Guanchao deliberately spoke slowly, narrating the events of the evening one by one.

When they reached downstairs, Song Guanchao had only gotten halfway through his story.

He unbuckled his seatbelt, "Let’s go inside and talk."

Liang Jiajia wasn’t a simpleton; she could tell he was doing it on purpose.

"Scoundrel."

She muttered under her breath, pushed open the car door, and followed him in.

Once inside, Song Guanchao grabbed a loose T-shirt, "Go take a shower first, and then we can talk while lying down."

Liang Jiajia’s cheeks turned red, she rolled her eyes, snatched the T-shirt, and turned to enter the bathroom.

The sound of water started soon after as Liang Jiajia began her shower. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Officer Liang, we offer complimentary back scrubbing services here. Interested in trying it out?"
