Secretary Wang was alarmed.

Upon receiving the call, he immediately rushed over and led Jiang Sheng into the office.

"I am the general manager of Da Yuan Real Estate, Jiang Sheng."

Jiang Sheng introduced himself, pointing to his own face: "Song Guanchao assaulted me!"

Secretary Wang was taken aback; indeed, his face was swollen.

"Mr. Jiang, for physical altercations, you should report to the police. This is the Disciplinary Committee."

"I know!" Jiang Sheng said, "I want to report him for abusing public power for personal gain!"

He then detailed the company's fraud incident and how Song Guanchao humiliated him under the pretense of defrauded funds.

After listening, Secretary Wang's expression became slightly serious.

If this matter is true, then Song Guanchao will indeed face disciplinary action.

But Secretary Wang felt that it wasn't in Song Guanchao's character to do such a thing.

The guy is very shrewd; even if he did have a conflict with Mr. Jiang, it wouldn't make sense for him to directly say it.

Isn't that giving people a handle?

"Alright, I understand, I will investigate."

"Investigate right now!"

Jiang Sheng roared, "He is a government official, a cadre, hitting me and threatening me, this is already a serious violation of law and discipline!"

Secretary Wang said patiently, "Mr. Jiang, I understand your feelings, but everything requires evidence. It's impossible for us to believe whatever you say. Moreover, you don't have evidence, so we will definitely need time to investigate, don't you agree?"

Mr. Jiang's identity was not ordinary either; Da Yuan Real Estate was a real estate company in the Provincial City with a large scale, so he didn't want to offend him.

For someone else, he wouldn't have this patience.

"Fine, I'll give you one day. If you can't find anything out, I'll report to the Provincial Disciplinary Inspection Committee that your committee and the City Committee are colluding!"

Leaving with these words, Jiang Sheng slammed the door and left.

After he left, Secretary Wang cursed, "Idiot."

This rich kid clearly had been spoiled since childhood and had never suffered any setbacks.

However, judging from his reaction, the matter didn't seem false.

His face, could it really have been hit by Song Guanchao?

This is too damn cruel.

Secretary Wang rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

He took out a cigarette to calm himself down, then took out his phone and called Song Guanchao.

"Secretary Song, someone just came to the Disciplinary Committee to report you."

"Report me?" Song Guanchao was surprised; that idiot Jiang Sheng really went to report him?

Does he have no brains?

"Yes, it's the general manager of Da Yuan Real Estate, Jiang Sheng. Do you know him?"

"I know him; we were just chatting at the City Committee. Why is he reporting me for no reason?"

"He said you hit him."

"Hit him?" Song Guanchao suddenly became furious: "Defamation, this is outright defamation!"

"Where is he? Is he still at the Disciplinary Committee?"

"He's already left."

"Call him back. I will go there now and confront him face to face!"

"Secretary Song..."

"Secretary Wang, I am being falsely accused, this is defamation!"

"...Alright, then I will contact him."

Secretary Wang was somewhat confused. Who was telling the truth, and who was lying?

He called Jiang Sheng, asking him to come back.

Meanwhile.

Song Guanchao originally had a lunch appointment with Liu Lanzi, but due to this unexpected situation, he had to let Liu Lanzi eat first and go to her at her company after handling this matter.

After hanging up, Song Guanchao called the police station near the Disciplinary Committee: "I need to report someone for defaming me!"

...

Twenty minutes later, Song Guanchao arrived at the Disciplinary Committee office.

The police from the nearby station had received his call and were already waiting there.

"Hello, Secretary Song." The officer was very courteous to this rising star in the municipal arena.

"Officers, please come with me."

Song Guanchao led them into Secretary Wang's office.

Jiang Sheng had also returned and was sitting in the office smoking.

Upon hearing footsteps, he turned his head and saw several policemen surrounding Song Guanchao as he entered.

His face was elated; he thought Secretary Wang had called the police to arrest Song Guanchao.

But soon, he sensed something was off.

Song Guanchao approached and asked, "Mr. Jiang, are you claiming I hit you?"

Jiang Sheng ignored him and pointed to his face to the police: "He did it! My face is swollen!"

Song Guanchao, with a stern expression, said, "Officers, did you hear him? He is defaming me. I demand the police arrest him immediately and investigate this! I suspect he is trying to tarnish the reputation of Lingjiang Municipal Committee and Municipal Government!"

"???" Jiang Sheng was at a loss, what was he saying?

The police were quite troubled; this kind of case was impossible to verify.

No third party witnessed it, and there was no video evidence, so it was impossible to prove that Song Guanchao was the assailant.

Yet, the other's face was indeed injured.

This was a dead-end, with no witnesses.

"Secretary Wang, he said he would report me?"

"Yes."

Secretary Wang was rather composed; he had roughly figured out that the two indeed had a feud.

The face was indeed hit by Song Guanchao.

But this Mr. Jiang, his caliber was too low, he was no match for Song Guanchao.

Song Guanchao was playing him like a toy.

"He's reporting me for abusing public power?"

"Yes."

"Alright, I got it."

Song Guanchao called Qu Xiangru: "Hello Secretary Qu, it's Song Guanchao. Here's what happened..."

He reported the entire process thoroughly: "Mr. Jiang from Da Yuan Real Estate reported me for abusing public power and withholding defrauded funds. This is slander against my character, a violation of my integrity. I demand Da Yuan Real Estate to apologize!"

Not sure what Qu Xiangru said, but a few minutes later the call ended.

Afterward, Secretary Wang's phone rang.

"Hello, Secretary Qu, yes, okay, I understand."

After hanging up, Secretary Wang said, "Mr. Jiang, Secretary Qu asked me to convey to you, only a portion of the defrauded funds has been recovered, and all the defrauded funds are handled by the City Committee Office, Secretary Song does not have the authority to manage them."

"So, your report is unfounded."

Jiang Sheng was boiling with anger; he knew he had been played by Song Guanchao.

"Officers, you heard it; his report is unfounded, it's slander, defamation!"

"Moreover, he claims I hit him, but I was at the City Committee all morning and didn't go out, City Committee colleagues can attest."

"Therefore, this is also slander and defamation!"

The police internally weighed the situation; in this case, Song Guanchao held the upper hand.

If one were to pursue it, charging him with defamation wasn't out of the question.

The police nodded, stepping forward: "Mr. Jiang, please come with us."

"I..." Jiang Sheng nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

I got beat up by him!

Yet, I am the one being taken away!

Why is that!

"He hit me!" Jiang Sheng felt aggrieved.

Song Guanchao said, "Mr. Jiang, I have no grievances with you; why do you falsely tarnish my reputation?"

"Your company was defrauded, I understand your feelings, but the City Committee has been diligently helping resolve the matter."

"You can't just use this way to frame me because the money hasn't been recovered."

"Song Guanchao, curse you!"

Under the incessant provocation from Song Guanchao, Jiang Sheng finally lost his mind and lashed out with curses.

Song Guanchao smiled in satisfaction, turned, and said, "Officers, you heard him, he insulted me. This can be considered an offense of insult, right?"

Secretary Wang watching from the side twitched his lips, feeling a bit sympathetic toward Jiang Sheng.

The police couldn't say much; he cursed face-to-face.

Not arresting him would be unreasonable.

"Take him away!"
