Official Career Storm
Chapter 442

Chapter 442: Chapter 442

Liang Jianfeng had sent the information he found to Song Guanchao.

These 24 offshore accounts were controlled by three people.

These three individuals were Hou Wen’s distant cousin who was his mistress, along with two men Song Guanchao did not recognize.

"Madman, take some men and bring these three to me."

Lu Feng glanced over and asked, "Are we posing as the Disciplinary Committee or the police this time?"

"Joint operation."

"Alright, this just got harder."

Lu Feng chuckled, "Leave it to me."

At six-thirty in the evening.

Lu Feng brought the three individuals back.

One woman and two men.

When the three got out of the car, their faces were filled with fear and unease.

They were each put in separate rooms.

Song Guanchao leaned against the room, watching Lu Feng’s interrogation through the monitor and couldn’t help but laugh.

This guy had become more professional by the day; he didn’t even need his guidance anymore to know how to question them.

By eight o’clock in the evening, all the details were clear.

The three had accepted reality and chose to cooperate.

Now, only Hou Wen, the person involved, was still unaware, kept in the dark.

The trap that Song Guanchao had set was not perfect—it was even filled with errors.

The biggest issue was that both the Disciplinary Committee and the police were fake.

Yet, from the moment they captured Wang Shujing and Huang Min, no one had contemplated the possibility that these Disciplinary Committee officials and policemen could be imposters.

They couldn’t imagine it, nor would they consider that possibility.

And a critical reason for this was that they themselves had skeletons in their closets.

A guilty conscience needs no accuser.

With a guilty conscience, one naturally wouldn’t doubt the authenticity of the other party.

Of course, another more important point was that Song Guanchao indeed had evidence of their illegal activities.

When the evidence was thrown before them, whether Lu Feng and his team were real or fake didn’t matter to them, as they believed them to be genuine.

Their inner defenses crumbled.

...

At eight o’clock in the evening.

Director Yao, following Hou Wen’s instructions, took a black car and arrived at Taohu Town.

He got off the taxi and walked a few hundred meters until a dust-covered private car stopped by the roadside.

The car window rolled down, and a man whose face couldn’t be seen said, "Get in."

Director Yao hurriedly opened the car door.

"Hello, Secretary Hou sent me."

"I know," the man’s voice lacked any trace of enthusiasm, causing Director Yao to feel inexplicably nervous.

The car traveled towards the village below the town for over an hour before pulling into a village.

Even Director Yao, a local, didn’t recognize this place.

"Get out."

"Oh, oh."

Director Yao quickly got out of the car, looking around.

It was now past nine o’clock, and all the houses in the village had turned their lights off.

He followed the man into the yard and entered the main house.

The man took a bottle of opened drink from the fridge and handed it to him, then pulled out a pack of cigarettes and placed it on the table, saying, "Have a cigarette, wait a moment."

"Okay."

Director Yao took out a cigarette and had just lit it when he noticed the man was also sitting beside him.

Curiously, he asked, "Aren’t you going to give me the stuff?"

The man said, "Wait."

Wait?

Wait for what?

Could it be that they were waiting for someone else to deliver it?

Director Yao complained internally, it was just an ID card, why go through all these roundabouts.

But wait he would.

Better safe than sorry.

He smoked quietly, waiting.

After finishing his cigarette, he suddenly felt dizzy and unbearably thirsty.

He grabbed the drink and chugged several gulps.

After sitting for a while, he increasingly felt a fog in his head and heavy eyelids.

It seemed that once his eyes closed, they could never open again.

His thoughts became dull, and he belatedly realized something was amiss.

It seemed he had been drugged.

But by the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

He tried to stand up.

He had just stood up a bit when he suddenly crashed to the ground with a thud.

The man looked at him coldly, stood up, and dragged him into the room.

...

Time quickly moved to Tuesday.

By eleven in the morning, the funds from Dujiang City’s Finance Bureau had been fully transferred.

One by one, the nine responsible persons called Hou Wen to inform him.

Afterwards, Song Guanchao logged into the accounts of these nine companies and transferred a total of 70 billion funds to an offshore account in Hong Kong Island.

This account was directly controlled by Song Guanchao.

After transferring the funds, Song Guanchao did not rush to have Hou Wen’s three mistresses contact Hou Wen.

Instead, he waited until after four in the afternoon before pressing the intercom, "Have them send a message to Hou Wen saying the money has been transferred."

Hou Wen’s three mistresses didn’t understand the police’s intentions, but they didn’t need to.

They obediently followed Lu Feng’s instructions and sent a message to Hou Wen.

Hou Wen received the message and showed a satisfied smile.

Finally, the money had been transferred.

billion!

Enough for him to live lavishly for the rest of his life.

He was very happy right now and even felt an impulse to call Tu Zhaorui.

But he resisted.

Things had to be kept secret.

Now wasn’t the time to be showy.

Tomorrow, after he left the country, then he would call Tu Zhaorui to thank him properly.

Even though Tu Zhaorui had caused him some trouble,

had it not been for him, he wouldn’t have taken the risk of transferring these special funds for high-speed rail construction.

A whole 70 billion, many times more than he had scraped together over the years.

...

Time moved to Wednesday.

Today, Lingjiang City was to hold an expanded meeting of its standing committee.

At ten in the morning.

City Committee’s meeting room, no seats were vacant.

Chu Xiao’e and Xu Xin showed a hint of joy when they saw Song Guanchao.

He had returned to the City Committee on Monday, but because he had been dealing with Hou Wen’s affairs, he had been outside these past two days.

The City Committee hadn’t issued any notifications, so not many people knew Song Guanchao was back at work.

When Liang Hao saw Song Guanchao, he too felt assured, knowing his Huayuan District was preserved.

The meeting began, Secretary Lu habitually spoke, and then they moved onto the first agenda item.

"Director Zhang Meilin was assaulted, Director Qin, how is this case being investigated?"

"We’re still investigating," sighed Director Qin.

In just a few months, he didn’t know how many times he had been called out at committee meetings.

Speaking of Zhang Meilin’s assault, it was very strange.

The assailant was too professional, entirely avoiding surveillance.

When Zhang Meilin regained consciousness and they went to take his statement, they couldn’t get any useful information.

The only useful piece was that the place he was beaten was at Mayor Zheng’s house.

Secretary Lu said nothing more than to ask him to investigate quickly, and that was it.

The next item then shifted to Song Guanchao.

"The allegations against Secretary Song have been clearly investigated, and it so happens that in today’s meeting, we will clarify the matter. Director Qin, please speak."

Director Qin said, "After our investigation and inquiries, we have found evidence proving that Secretary Song was indeed framed. The police have gained control of the relevant surveillance footage, and next, we will use the footage to diligently capture the person who framed him."

As he spoke, he involuntarily glanced at Mayor Zheng.

All eyes focused on him, and his action led everyone to look at Mayor Zheng together.

Mayor Zheng was furious.

What the hell is wrong with you, looking at me like that?

Director Qin also realized his action was too suggestive and stopped speaking after finishing.

Secretary Lu coughed lightly and said, "Next agenda item, the Lingjiang High-Speed Rail project."

"Secretary Sun, what stage has the project reached? Have there been any difficulties?"
