Chapter 90: Chapter 90

Li Lake Mansion.

Building 6.

Song Guanchao dialed Wu Qiangwei’s number, "Secretary, I have something to report to you."

"Speak."

"This matter, it would be best to report it in person."

Wu Qiangwei was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Where are you?"

"Downstairs."

"Come up."

Song Guanchao breathed a sigh of relief, as he could clearly sense that Wu Qiangwei’s attitude towards him had changed since this morning.

He had really been worried that Wu Qiangwei wouldn’t let him come up.

Arriving at the door, he gently knocked.

Although he knew the code, it still seemed more appropriate to knock when someone was home.

Wu Qiangwei opened the door, now dressed in loungewear.

The pure cotton pajama set adorned with cartoon motifs was a stark contrast to her usual mature and steady style, yet it gave Song Guanchao a glimpse of a seldom-seen cuteness about her.

Wu Qiangwei handed him a bottle of soda water and sat down on the sofa, saying, "Go ahead."

Song Guanchao said, "I’m being followed by the police."

"Police?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure they’re following you?"

"Positive," Song Guanchao said, "After work today, I felt someone was tailing me..."

At that moment, the sound of a door opening interrupted his story.

Wu Ming stormed into the living room, shouting, "Old..."

Before he could finish with "Sis," he caught sight of Song Guanchao sitting across from his sister.

Song Guanchao was staring at him with a dangerous look in his eyes.

Wu Ming stood rooted to the spot, his brain momentarily frozen.

What was this guy doing at his sister’s place?

Damn, he wasn’t about to beat him to it and play the victim, was he?

Song Guanchao watched the uninvited guest with a cold gaze.

He had the code for Secretary Wu’s home.

From the tone Wu Ming had just used, his relationship with Wu Qiangwei seemed to have progressed to a rather intimate level.

Remembering the things Wu Ming had said before, Song Guanchao’s fists clenched subconsciously, cracking audibly.

Wu Ming instinctively stepped back, but halted after half a step, feeling like he might have been overly cowardly.

Dammit, my sis is here, what do I have to fear!

"Cough cough, Secretary Wu is in the middle of a conversation with Secretary Song?"

Wu Ming flaunted a smug smile and said, "Go ahead with your chat, Secretary Wu, I’ll go take a shower."

Damn!

Song Guanchao’s forehead veins bulged with irritation. Was this kid going to stay at Secretary Wu’s house tonight?

Wu Qiangwei instinctively frowned at the sight of Wu Ming, but quickly returned to her usual composure.

She cast a glance at Song Guanchao, taking in his reaction.

She had no doubt that if she weren’t here, Song Guanchao might have already rushed up and pinned Wu Ming to the ground for a beating.

She brushed her hair aside, her voice gentle, "I bought you pajamas, they’re on my bed."

Wu Ming’s grin grew even more irritating, "Okay, got it."

Under Song Guanchao’s nearly lethal gaze, Wu Ming entered the room, grabbed a set of pajamas, and went to take his shower.

"Continue," Wu Qiangwei’s voice pulled him back from the brink of rage.

Song Guanchao calmed his emotions and said, "Tonight, I followed Wu Ming."

"And then?"

"I tracked him to the underpass, wanting to probe him, but before we could exchange a few words, the police appeared and tried to catch me."

"After I left, those police officers and Wu Ming spoke about something. Judging by the tone of their conversation, Wu Ming and these officers seemed to know each other."

Song Guanchao lowered his voice, "Secretary Wu, this driver of yours is very likely an operative deliberately placed by your political adversaries to get close to you."

Tonight’s events were very unusual.

Previously, he hadn’t felt followed, but just after Wu Ming showed up, someone started tailing him.

Obviously, the other party wanted to set a trap for him.

As for why Wu Ming didn’t turn the tables tonight and arrest him instead, Song Guanchao guessed that it must have been because the plan lacked clout.

Just beating someone up would, at most, lock them up for a few days.

That wouldn’t bring him down.

He speculated that the next move would likely be something big, an attempt to put him behind bars in one fell swoop.

As for who was behind Wu Ming, Song Guanchao’s guess was the Police Department’s Director Qin!

After all, he was the City Committee’s top secretary.

Ordinary police wouldn’t dare touch him, and even the Vice Mayor had to remain polite in his presence.

Since they knew Wu Ming, it was impossible not to know his own identity.

Knowing his identity and still daring to act this way, there had to be a powerful backer involved.

The only person he could think of was Director Qin.

"You attacked Xiao Wu?" Wu Qiangwei suddenly asked.

Song Guanchao saw disapproval in her eyes, hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "Gave him a lesson."

Wu Qiangwei’s pretty face instantly turned cold, "Song Guanchao, you’re getting bolder by the minute!"

"Xiao Wu is the driver I personally selected. I know what kind of person he is better than you."

Song Guanchao stood his ground, "Secretary, it’s easy to know a person’s face but not their heart. Besides, on his very first day here, he’s taking a bath at your place. Secretary, do you think that’s appropriate?"

Wu Qiangwei counter-asked, "What’s inappropriate about it?"

"Everything is inappropriate!" Song Guanchao declared, "If you want to find a man, you could totally go on blind dates. But to directly bring home a man of unknown origin, that’s being irresponsible to yourself!"

Wu Qiangwei wasn’t angry at all, instead, she said with a smile, "I think Xiao Wu is quite nice. Young, handsome, good physique, and he knows how to charm people. I’m happy with him around."

His words nearly made Song Guanchao’s blood vessels burst.

The Wu Qiangwei before his eyes bore no trace of the City Secretary’s authority.

When she talked about Wu Ming, her eyes were filled with laughter, clearly a woman besotted with love.

He took several deep breaths, nodded gently, "I’ve finished my report, Secretary Wu, I’ll be going back now. You should rest early."

He turned and left, with Wu Qiangwei making no attempt to keep him.

Descending the stairs, Song Guanchao felt more and more infuriated.

He always considered himself to know Wu Qiangwei very well. This woman was not one to act impulsively, nor was she the type to lose her way upon seeing a man.

Then why did she like that sissy Wu Ming so much?

"Damn it!"

"Is the sissy market really that big these days?"

Song Guanchao was extremely frustrated.

Upstairs.

After his bath, Wu Ming came out, "Sis, has he left?"

"Mm."

Wu Qiangwei stood on the balcony, her lips curved up watching Song Guanchao smoking downstairs, and her smile never faded.

"Romantic fool," Wu Ming muttered to himself.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. By the way, sis, I have something to tell you."

"Did Song Guanchao hit you?"

"Did he tell you?"

"Mm."

"You have to stand up for me! That guy hit me way too hard, nearly punching out my last meal!"

"Why did he hit you?"

"I..." Wu Ming hesitantly explained the whole situation.

After hearing him out, Wu Qiangwei commented, "Well deserved."

Wu Ming looked indignant but then seemed to deflate.

He had thought about finding some comfort with his sister, but clearly, he was expecting too much.

Just then, there was a sudden knock at the door.

Wu Qiangwei went to open the door, and Song Guanchao was standing outside.

"Is there something else?"

Song Guanchao handed her something he was holding, left a word, "Secretary, be careful with your safety," and turned to leave.

Looking down at the item in her hand, Wu Qiangwei’s face instantly flushed with red.

He had actually bought her a box of condoms!
