Chapter 413: Chapter 413

Listening to Song Guanchao’s words, Director Yao still knelt on the ground, trembling, while County Magistrate Hou’s face twitched, his heart burning with anger.

He knew what Song Guanchao meant.

This half a day in the cell couldn’t have been for nothing.

To resolve the issue was simple; they too must sit half a day in the cell.

County Magistrate Hou had never suffered such humiliation.

This was Dujiang County, and he was the top official here.

On his own turf, to be oppressed by a secretary from the City Committee, he couldn’t bear it.

County Magistrate Hou took a deep breath, still maintaining a smile, "No need, I’d better go back to sleep."

Song Guanchao, who had just stood up, paused for a moment, stared at him for a few seconds, then nodded.

Then he said to Political Commissioner Zhong, "Brother Zhong, how many people have come?"

Political Commissioner Zhong replied, "Everyone’s here."

It seemed he knew what Song Guanchao wanted to do. "Just don’t kill anyone, whatever happens, the military will take responsibility."

Hearing Political Commissioner Zhong’s words, County Magistrate Hou’s rage dissipated, replaced by fear.

What were they planning to do?

"Political Commissioner Zhong, you..."

"Shut up!" Political Commissioner Zhong rebuked, his indifferent face making him feel alienated and frightened.

Song Guanchao took off his prison uniform, "Lift him up."

Immediately, two soldiers walked in, grabbed Director Yao, and hoisted him up, one on each side.

Director Yao’s entire body was limp, his legs shaking uncontrollably, his pants wet, reeking of urine.

Song Guanchao walked up close and patted Director Yao’s face.

The next second.

"Bang!"

A punch landed in Director Yao’s stomach, Director Yao opened his mouth to retch, his stomach cramping.

"Bang!"

Song Guanchao used him like a punching bag, one punch after another.

Director Yao was beaten so badly he couldn’t even cry out, gasping and groaning continuously, his face twisted in agony.

Political Commissioner Zhong and Captain Zeng watched coldly from the side.

County Magistrate Hou’s eyes widened, rage boiling over inside him.

How audacious!

This Song Guanchao was simply too bold!

He was furious, yet he dared not express it.

After a dozen punches, Song Guanchao said, "Put him in the prison uniform and lock him up for three days."

The soldiers took the clothes that Song Guanchao had stripped off and put them on Director Yao after taking his off, then threw his clothes on the ground.

Song Guanchao kicked him and said, "Director Yao, stay inside nicely. If I find out you come out early, it won’t just be a few punches next time."

Immediately afterward, he looked at County Magistrate Hou with a smile, "Let’s forget about County Magistrate Hou, staying inside too long when there’s no one to run the county isn’t good either."

"Just sleep for one night."

"You wouldn’t object, would you, County Magistrate Hou?"

County Magistrate Hou breathed unevenly, his chest heaving intensely.

He had never dealt with Song Guanchao before today, today was the first time.

He had long heard rumors of a very capable secretary in the city.

But in his view, no matter how skilled, a secretary was just a secretary.

Yet now, he, the powerful head of Dujiang County, was being humiliated by a secretary like this.

"Secretary Song, do you really need to take matters this far?"

Song Guanchao sneered, "County Magistrate Hou, let’s not talk about who owes whom. Director Yao Jinsheng, a mere director, would not dare arrest me without your county magistrate’s directive. Dare I rely on him for courage?"

"As for being extreme, do you think I care?"

"Go, get County Magistrate Hou a set of clothes to change into."

"Yes."

The soldiers went out and quickly returned with a set of prison clothes.

County Magistrate Hou felt very humiliated, but there was nothing he could do.

Resist?

What a joke.

The place was swarming with military personnel, and they’d even drawn their guns.

Although his reason told him that the other side was just trying to scare him and wouldn’t dare to really shoot,

he didn’t have the guts to gamble on it.

After all, if he lost the bet, it was his life that would be on the line.

He could only grit his teeth, endure the indignity, and put on the prison uniform.

"Not bad, County Magistrate Hou understands the big picture,"

He patted County Magistrate Hou’s shoulder. "Stay put, I’ll arrange for someone to watch over you tonight."

"Brother Zhong, let’s go."

"Mm."

After a few people left, two soldiers remained outside to keep guard.

When the prison guard came back and saw this scene, he was scared witless but didn’t dare to say anything, silently watching Song Guanchao and his group leave.

Song Guanchao changed into his own clothes and came out, Zeng Yingrong said, "Guanchao, didn’t you blow this up too big?"

He had thought that Song Guanchao would at most give Director Yao a lesson, but he didn’t expect that even County Magistrate Hou would be thrown into jail.

Political Commissioner Zhong was also a bit worried. "After all, Hou Wen is the county magistrate and is currently acting as the County Party Secretary. If you treat him like this, you won’t be at peace in the future."

In his view, what Song Guanchao was doing was totally unnecessary.

Song Guanchao lit a cigarette and said, "His days as county magistrate are almost over."

There was no need for pretense in front of them.

If it were another place, another person, he wouldn’t have been so arrogant.

But in Dujiang County, in front of County Magistrate Hou, there was absolutely no need to hide.

A guy who wouldn’t be able to jump around for a few more days and was soon to be sitting in a cell for good, didn’t deserve any face.

Political Commissioner Zhong was a bit surprised, then chuckled.

That explained it.

He had just been wondering, Song Guanchao was not an impulsive person, so why would he do such a capricious act.

Turns out it was all within measure.

Song Guanchao looked outside the detention center and asked, "Did Wu Ming and Mr. Bai come too?"

"They’re in the car."

"Then later, Captain Zeng, you better not act too familiar with me."

Song Guanchao said, "Wu Ming doesn’t know about our relationship."

Zeng Yingrong said, "Kid, you haven’t told Wu Qiangwei?"

"No."

"Why not?"

Song Guanchao countered, "Why should I?"

Coming out of the detention center, Wu Ming and Bai Ruyi also got out of the car.

"Secretary Song, are you all right?" Wu Ming looked him up and down, somewhat worried that he had received special treatment inside the detention center.

"I’m fine." Song Guanchao asked, "Did Secretary Wu send you?"

"Yes." Wu Ming said, "Secretary Wu spoke to the military about the situation, and Secretary Song, you really should thank Captain Zeng and Political Commissioner Zhong. If it wasn’t for them, you would’ve had a criminal record on you."

"Administrative detention doesn’t count as a criminal record."

"... " Wu Ming’s mouth twitched, Is that what I was emphasizing?

The point is that they helped you!

"Political Commissioner Zhong, Captain Zeng, thank you for this time. Once I’m less busy, I’ll treat you to a meal."

After some pleasantries, Political Commissioner Zhong left a vehicle with a few soldiers and took the rest of the group away.

Wu Ming said, "Secretary Song, let’s head back too."

"You go ahead, I’ve got some things to take care of."

"Alright." Wu Ming didn’t ask what he needed to take care of, and left with Bai Ruyi in the car.

Bai Ruyi had been wanting to thank Song Guanchao but never found the opportunity.

She planned to wait until Song Guanchao returned to the City Committee, then find an opportunity to invite him for a meal.

Once the car was far away, Song Guanchao took out his phone and called Fu Ying.

It was already the middle of the night, and Fu Ying was deep in sleep.

The ringing phone woke her, and in her groggy state, she answered the call. Hearing Song Guanchao’s voice, she instantly woke up.

"Mm, mm, I’ll come right over."
