Official Career Storm

Chapter 1516 1516

"Song Guanchao is not at the station?"

Upon hearing the junior officer's report, Director Feng felt a surge of anger.

This Xiao Sun is completely useless!

Catching someone, and letting them escape halfway is bad enough.

Yet, six men couldn't bring him back.

But fortunately, at least they know where Song Guanchao is.

"Take a few people and bring Song Guanchao back for me!"

The junior officer responded with an "Oh," turned to leave, but then saw two figures walking over.

It was Hall Director Qi and Qu Xiangru.

Their conversation was overheard by Qu Xiangru and the others.

Qu Xiangru asked, "Director Feng, where are you going to arrest Song Guanchao?"

Director Feng suddenly felt his scalp tingle, thinking of how to explain, but Hall Director Qi said, "It seems Song Guanchao is not at the branch."

"This..." Director Feng explained hesitantly, "Some unexpected situations arose during the capture."

"Oh? What kind of unexpected situations?"

"Song Guanchao assaulted the police and fled."

As Director Feng spoke, his confidence grew, because these were the facts.

Song Guanchao did assault the police, judging by Captain Sun and his team's bruised faces, clearly caused by Song Guanchao.

"You two should go back first; once we catch Song Guanchao, I will let you see him."

Qu Xiangru felt a chill in his heart, how did things escalate to this?

Would Song Guanchao really assault the police? And escape?

This doesn't match his character.

This case clearly has issues, Song Guanchao only needs to cooperate well, there's no need to do such a thing.

"Go ahead." Director Feng said to the junior officer, then turned towards the meeting room.

Hall Director Qi and Qu Xiangru didn't mind his disrespect towards them.

The two exchanged a glance, Hall Director Qi said, "If Song Guanchao really assaulted the police and fled, regardless of whether this case is slander or not, it's a bit troublesome now."

The case has issues, they could request to review the files.

But during the proceedings, you must cooperate with the police investigation.

However, if you resist the law violently, then it's another case.

Originally justified, because you assaulted the police and fled, it becomes unjustified.

...

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Director Jiang." Director Feng sat down with a smile.

Jiang Wangshan was somewhat surprised, this guy seems to be in a better mood.

It seems that junior officer probably conveyed some good news to him.

Jiang Wangshan said, "Take me to see Song Guanchao."

"That, I'm afraid it's not possible." Director Feng said with feigned difficulty, yet keeping a smile on his face.

"Why not?"

"It's a long story," Director Feng sighed, "During Captain Sun's capture of Song Guanchao, Song Guanchao resisted enforcement, assaulted the police! He is now at large, I've already sent people to catch him."

"Impossible!" Lin Wanqiu, who had been silent, stood up immediately.

Like Qu Xiangru, she knew Song Guanchao well.

Song Guanchao would never do such a thing.

Director Feng said, "These are the facts, and Director Jiang has just seen the state of Captain Sun and his team; they've been chasing Song Guanchao for the past two days and got beaten up by him."

Lin Wanqiu wanted to speak, but Jiang Wangshan said, "Ran away? So, Song Guanchao is not at the branch?"

"He's not, but we already know where Song Guanchao is, we're sending people to capture him now."

"Let's go together then."

Jiang Wangshan got up and said, "I'll also take a look at where Song Guanchao, who resisted enforcement and is at large, is hiding now."

Director Feng thought for two seconds and nodded, "Alright."

Even if Song Guanchao is caught, they can't refuse Jiang Wangshan's request for a hearing.

Anyway, his charges of "assaulting the police" and "escaping" are set in stone; that can't be changed by anyone.

Since that's the case, let the supervisory team from Beijing go together.

Oh, right, call Hall Director Qi and Governor Qu along too.

Let them see how Director Song, who is fleeing, resisted enforcement!

As they left the city bureau, they happened to see Hall Director Qi and Governor Qu.

Director Feng quickly walked over, "Hall Director Qi, please stay."

The two looked over and saw Jiang Wangshan and the others.

Hall Director Qi thought he was seeing things, until the group approached, then he exclaimed, "Director Jiang?"

As the head of the Public Security Department, Hall Director Qi goes to Beijing for meetings every year.

Although Jiang Wangshan is the Deputy Director of the city bureau, the status of the Beijing City Public Security Bureau is no less than the provincial department.

During meetings, they have met before.

"Hall Director?" Jiang Wangshan was both surprised and unsurprised.

He smiled, "Is Hall Director Qi here for Song Guanchao's case too?"

Upon hearing this, Hall Director Qi was extremely surprised, "Director Jiang is here for this case?"

"Yes." Jiang Wangshan smiled, "The Ministry of Public Security established a supervisory team, and I'm the team leader."

"What?" Hall Director Qi was so shocked that his body shook violently.

It's just a case of intentional injury, how could it garner attention from the Ministry of Public Security?

This... this can't be possible, right?

But it was Jiang Wangshan who said this, he couldn't be lying.

Hall Director Qi felt dizzy, a bit incredulous and incomprehensible.

He had been Director for many years, handling countless cases of all sizes.

But never had a case been as absurd as this.

This case is quite ordinary, only involving a deputy director-level official.

But even if a director-level official was involved, it wouldn't alarm the Ministry of Public Security.

In his shock, he suddenly recalled something Lu Zhizhong said over the phone.

He said it was an opportunity for him.

Hall Director Qi didn't pay much attention then, but now he finally understood.

He was startled, realizing he'd underestimated the situation.

Before the consulate case, he suspected someone else, not just due to Lu Zhizhong's influence.

But now, he had no more doubts.

Governor Lu, who was recently appointed, is too mysterious!

Even having connections all the way up to the Ministry of Public Security!

This personal network reaches the highest echelons!

He was fortunate he hadn't refused this time.

"What is Governor Lu's background, really?"

Hall Director Qi was extremely curious.

"The Ministry of Public Security?" Qu Xiangru raised an eyebrow, looking at Hall Director Qi in confusion.

She didn't know Jiang Wangshan.

But she was very interested in what he said.

Hall Director Qi cleared his throat and introduced, "This is our city's Executive Deputy Governor, Qu Xiangru."

"Governor Qu, this is Jiang Wangshan, the Deputy Director of the Beijing City Public Security Bureau."

Having finished the introductions, he further inquired, "Director Jiang, did you just say, the Ministry of Public Security?"

"That's right." Jiang Wangshan smiled, "After we learned that Director Song was taken by Xu City, we filed a request with the Ministry of Public Security to establish a supervisory team, and it was approved the same day."

Director Feng, on the side, was hearing such detailed information for the first time.

He had always thought it was at the orders of the Ministry of Public Security, only now did he realize it was the Beijing City Bureau's initiative.

But to him, it was all the same.

Whether it was the Ministry of Public Security or the Beijing City Bureau, they were all beyond his reach.

The same applies to the leadership in Xu City, beyond his reach.

"The Beijing City Bureau..." Qu Xiangru was shocked as well, though mostly puzzled.

She directly asked, "Does Director Jiang know Director Song?"
