Chapter 679: Chapter 679

Last night, Song Guanchao recorded the entire process.

Jiang Wangshan did not stop it at the time.

He hadn’t expected that Song Guanchao would bring out the video in this situation.

Song Guanchao took out his phone and opened the video.

Minister Tang said, "Let me have a look too."

Director Chu took the phone and walked over.

Jia Peinan and a few others also got up and gathered around to watch the video.

In the video, Jiang Wangshan arrogantly demanded Song Guanchao offer his face for Li He to slap.

The authoritative, command-giving demeanor of a superior perfectly displayed the image of a hypocrite in power.

Watching Jiang Wangshan in uniform with a dozen police officers doing things against police regulations, Director Chu’s face turned frighteningly dark.

He hadn’t expected this, truly hadn’t expected it.

He always thought Jiang Wangshan was adept at handling matters, with good judgment.

He never would have thought Jiang Wangshan could commit such violations of rules and discipline.

That was a banquet hall!

So many influential figures were present.

Yet he dared do such a thing!

Does he really think the police station belongs to him?

The moment Jiang Wangshan drew his gun, Director Chu couldn’t contain himself anymore.

"Jiang Wangshan, how dare you!"

"Director Chu, calm down," Minister Tang said calmly.

They continued watching.

Soon, Luo Ke Gong and Yang Xiong appeared.

Seeing these two standing up for Song Guanchao, Director Chu’s heart was once again startled, and he couldn’t help but glance at Song Guanchao.

This Secretary Song, just who is he?

He even had connections with these two prominent figures.

Moreover, having these two prominent figures stand up for Song Guanchao meant it was not just a casual acquaintance.

The more Director Chu watched, the more shocked he became.

After finishing, the group returned to their seats.

Director Chu was about to speak when a waiter served the dishes.

Minister Tang picked up his chopsticks, "Let’s eat."

Seeing that Minister Tang did not intend to handle the matter immediately, Director Chu refrained from saying any reprimanding words.

However, the mood of the meal was not good.

Director Jiang was anxious throughout.

The situation had developed beyond his control.

He had never thought that what was originally just a problem for his brother-in-law had now evolved into a problem for himself.

His broad future prospects as the youngest deputy director were now in the hands of Minister Tang.

No, in the hands of Song Guanchao!

He thought Luo Ke Gong and Yang Xiong were his strongest backers.

Who could have guessed that this guy would have such influence at the Ministry of Public Security?

But there was one thing he couldn’t understand.

Why was Song Guanchao so reckless?

Regardless of how highly a leader values you, some discretion is necessary as time goes by.

Even if Minister Tang thinks highly of you, to bring matters directly to light in front of so many leaders, Minister Tang should be displeased.

After all, no leader appreciates a subordinate who constantly stirs trouble.

Even if the trouble was not initiated by the subordinate.

But he didn’t see any reproach or disappointment towards Song Guanchao on Minister Tang’s face.

He even had an illusion.

It seemed as though Minister Tang was very willing to help Song Guanchao resolve this trouble.

This was truly perplexing.

"Director Chu."

Minister Tang, having eaten almost enough, wiped his mouth and suddenly spoke.

Director Chu put down his chopsticks, "What’s the instruction from Minister Tang?"

"Not really an instruction."

Minister Tang smiled and asked, "How long will your conversation with Secretary Song take?"

Director Chu’s thoughts raced; he knew Minister Tang was here for Song Guanchao.

From these words, it seemed there was something important that Minister Tang wanted with Song Guanchao.

"Very soon," Director Chu said. "We mainly want to hear Secretary Song talk about the steps for recovering the embezzled funds. We hope Secretary Song can share some experience with us."

"Minister Tang, do you have something important with Secretary Song? If it’s crucial, we can delay our side until Minister Tang’s matters are handled first."

Minister Tang smiled and said, "Indeed, it’s quite important; it’s a long-standing tradition in our department."

"Every year we invite Guan Chao to provide a little training to newly appointed cadres in our department."

Train... training?

Leaders are very particular with their choice of words and rarely make mistakes.

But Director Chu distinctly heard, Minister Tang had just said, training?

He suspected that Minister Tang had misspoken.

Song Guanchao, a secretary, providing training to Ministry of Public Security cadres?

What merit and capabilities does he have?

It’s not just him; even Jiang Wangshan and a few police officers were equally shocked.

They looked at Jia Peinan, Director Tan, and others...

But from their faces, they saw expressions that seemed perfectly normal.

This...

Minister Tang chuckled, "Guan Chao, you talk about retiring so freely, we find it difficult to reach you when we need to."

"A few of this year’s upcoming cadres have some strategic questions regarding some cases you’ve handled, and they’d like to consult with you. You better not hold back, you hear?"

Song Guanchao responded with an ’um’, "I won’t stay in Yanjing for long; there’s a lot waiting for me in Lingjiang."

Minister Tang laughed and scolded, "You rascal, we ask you to train them, and you’re being evasive. Fine, don’t worry; it’s just a matter of one or two days, won’t take you too long."

He sighed again, "Why did you retire? There were several cross-border cases this year we meant to find you for, but couldn’t locate you. Only after asking around did we learn you’d gone off to be a secretary."

"If you wanted to transition to politics, you could have told me, joining the Ministry of Public Security would be better than going to the municipal office, wouldn’t it?"

Song Guanchao shook his head, "The starting point at the Ministry of Public Security is too high; it’s not suited for me."

Director Chu and Jiang Wangshan were already stunned.

Minister Tang’s words were packed with information, incredibly overwhelming!

Both men, being part of higher ranks in the police department, understood the implications while some of the street-level officers did not.

Training, cross-border cases, seeking Song Guanchao, retirement...

And that remark from Minister Tang that "every year Song Guanchao is invited for training."

These keywords together reminded them of a person.

Someone they’d just been discussing!

The figure who consistently collaborates with the Ministry of Public Security, the mysterious soldier!

A code known only to them—No.1!

Minister Tang’s words precisely pointed Song Guanchao’s identity towards [No.1]!

The two men looked at Song Guanchao with astonished eyes.

Jiang Wangshan finally understood why Song Guanchao possessed such influence!

He is No.1!

The agent that could only be referred to by code, whose identity couldn’t be disclosed!

In this instant, Jiang Wangshan suddenly comprehended several previously inexplicable aspects.

No wonder Minister Tang actively helped him.

Because the Ministry of Public Security needs Song Guanchao!

If the Ministry of Public Security encounters future cross-border cases, they might need to actively invite Song Guanchao!

For Minister Tang, the personal relationship between him and Song Guanchao is indeed significant.

But what’s truly important is Song Guanchao’s personal ability!

Only someone with capabilities who is needed can be valued.

In comparison, what does his position as deputy director amount to?

As long as they can make Song Guanchao feel the sincerity, removing him as deputy director is perhaps just a word from Minister Tang.

Jiang Wangshan suddenly realized Minister Tang spoke these words deliberately.

After all, any information about No.1 is confidential.

Yet Minister Tang stated it so directly, as though fearing they wouldn’t make the connections.

Minister Tang’s words served to inform them that Song Guanchao was someone they shouldn’t provoke!

Only now did Jiang Wangshan understand what kind of person he had tangled with!

Jiang Wangshan slumped back in his chair, and for a moment, all the strength drained from him.

Deep in his heart, he couldn’t muster even a hint of courage or desire to confront Song Guanchao.
