Song Guanchao was still struggling, unable to make a decision.

Wu Yun waited for a long time without seeing him come over, guessing it might be because of Wu Qiangwei's presence.

But she couldn't care less; she walked over directly and said, "Secretary Song, has your driver arrived?"

"Almost."

"I can't get a taxi. Can I grab a ride with you?"

"Sure, you can sit in the car first."

Wu Yun, satisfied, sat down in the car.

Song Guanchao sighed and walked to Wu Qiangwei: "Secretary, ride with me."

Wu Qiangwei glanced at Wu Yun who had gotten in the car, and nodded.

Song Guanchao thought she would refuse, but to his surprise, she agreed.

Soon, the driver arrived.

Song Guanchao sat in the front passenger seat, with the two women sitting in the back.

Wu Yun felt a bit uneasy; she hadn't expected Wu Qiangwei to get in the car too.

Song Guanchao intended to drop her home first. Hearing him report his home address, Wu Yun pouted unhappily.

She had been prepared and had told him in advance, yet plans still changed.

When the car arrived outside Wu Yun's house, Song Guanchao specifically got out and escorted her to the door, whispering, "I'm taking office in Tongchi District tomorrow, but since the Tongchi Government Building has been demolished, I'll need to request an office space from the City Committee. This way, we can still work together."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yun's anger dissipated instantly.

She blushed and said, "Is it for me?"

"No."

"Hmph." Wu Yun snorted arrogantly, refusing to believe Song Guanchao's denial.

"Alright, I'm going in."

Wu Yun opened the door and said, "You go back and rest early."

Song Guanchao breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully, this hurdle was over.

Back in the car, the driver drove them back.

On the way, neither of them spoke. After the car stopped downstairs, Song Guanchao paid and let the driver leave.

Wu Qiangwei was about to push the door open and get out when Song Guanchao stopped her: "Secretary."

Wu Qiangwei's hand froze as it reached for the door.

She slowly turned to look at Song Guanchao, trying to remain calm, "What is it?"

Song Guanchao's heart raced. He knew why Wu Qiangwei had waited for him.

To be honest, he had never confessed before.

With other women, things just happened naturally.

At this moment, about to confess his feelings, where was the calmness of a Secretary of the Municipal Committee?

His heart was pounding, feeling uneasy, and his eyes were wandering slightly.

"I..."

Buzz buzz!

Just then, his damn phone suddenly rang.

"You have a call," Wu Qiangwei said softly.

She was also nervous inside and quickly spoke.

"Hmm."

Song Guanchao took out his phone, ready to hang up, only to see it was a call from Qin Yuejin.

"Hello, Director Qin..."

"Song Guanchao, where are you?"

Even through the phone, Song Guanchao could hear the anger in his voice.

"Is there something, Director Qin?"

Qin Yuejin said sternly, "Where are you, let's talk!"

"Talk about what?"

This guy, what's going on.

Qin Yuejin's tone was clearly agitated, and every word from Song Guanchao sounded like mockery to him.

"Tell me where you are!" He was on the verge of exploding.

Song Guanchao frowned, "Where are you? I'll come to you."

"I'm at your house!"

What?

Song Guanchao was taken aback. What on earth is this guy up to?

He grunted and immediately hung up the phone.

In the small car space, Wu Qiangwei heard their conversation.

"What's he looking for you for?"

"Not sure."

He wanted to know more than anyone why this guy was going crazy.

"Get some rest early."

Song Guanchao no longer had the mind to continue confessing.

Wu Qiangwei pondered, "Report to me in a timely manner."

"Okay."

After she left, Song Guanchao called the driver who hadn't gone far back.

Twenty minutes later, he was back home.

On the way, he racked his brain trying to figure out what had provoked Qin Yuejin.

The car stopped, and Song Guanchao saw Qin Yuejin standing at the entrance of the corridor, smoking a cigarette that glowed brighter and dimmer as he puffed.

Noticing his return, Qin Yuejin tossed the cigarette butt and walked over.

After the driver left, he finally spoke, "Song Guanchao, what do you mean?"

Song Guanchao was even more annoyed than him. Everything was vague on the call, and now he's playing the mysterious man.

"What do you mean?" Song Guanchao tried to hold back his irritation. After all, he had just been appointed head of Tongchi District, and there would be plenty of interactions in the future. He didn't want to ruin things just yet.

Moreover, the power in Lingjiang was already in the hands of Qu Xiangru and Wu Qiangwei.

As long as Qin Yuejin cooperated properly, Song Guanchao didn't want to trouble him.

But in Qin Yuejin's eyes, Song Guanchao was just pretending to be dumb, toying with him.

Qin Yuejin didn't want to burn bridges either. Although he had moved important things from the safe, Song Guanchao's actions made him uneasy.

If Song Guanchao was determined to take action against him, he would find other means even without the safe.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yuejin calmed down and said, "Song Guanchao, I don't want to be at odds with you. You walk your tightrope, I'll walk my wide road, and we won't interfere with each other. I'll fully cooperate with your work in the future."

"???

Song Guanchao was more confused. What on earth was this guy talking about?

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Qin Yuejin's face darkened, "Are you determined to oppose me?"

"Fine, Song Guanchao, you've got some guts!"

Qin Yuejin's expression suddenly turned fierce, eyes filled with a murderous glare, "You want to screw me over, then don't expect to have it easy either!"

With that, Qin Yuejin got in his car and left.

Song Guanchao stood in place, his brows knitted tightly.

What kind of nerve is this guy on?

Song Guanchao turned and went back inside, sitting on the sofa, lighting a cigarette, and pondered carefully.

Qin Yuejin had called about half an hour after dinner.

And, at his doorstep.

This means it must be something important.

Judging from his attitude and words, he must have encountered some issues, and he thought those issues were caused by me.

Could someone be threatening him?

Did he think it was me doing the threatening?

Song Guanchao gradually pieced together the situation.

He just didn't know exactly what threat he encountered.

And why was he so certain it was me?

"Damn!"

He suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that he was framed and someone had splashed dirty water on him?

Intentionally leading this idiot to provoke a conflict with me?

The more Song Guanchao thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

He grabbed his phone and called Qin Yuejin.

The line was constantly busy, unable to get through.

At this moment, Qin Yuejin was on a call with He Kang.

After he calmed down, he realized he shouldn't have confronted Song Guanchao, but it was too late for regret.

When He Kang learned that he went to find Song Guanchao, he scolded, "Qin Yuejin, are you insane? Why did you go looking for him? He's just a secretary, do you think it's up to him? Clearly, it's Wu Qiangwei and Qu Xiangru pulling strings from behind! You're just…"

He wanted to call him an idiot, but refrained from doing so.

This guy wasn't very bright, easily agitated.

Qin Yuejin also knew he shouldn't have gone to him, but he was too angry, too aggrieved to hold back.

"What do we do now?"

"Nothing important in the safe, right?"

"Just a bunch of worthless stuff."

"Then wait and see, since he didn't get any evidence on you, let's see what they do next."

He Kang added, "If anything like this happens again, don't make decisions on your own. Call me first!"
