He Kang felt a chill down his spine.

If the old man hadn't explained it to him, he wouldn't have seen through all these twists and turns.

He quickly said, "There's nothing in Qin Yuejin's safe."

He Sen replied, "Whether there's anything or not doesn't matter; what's important is that Qin Yuejin is already being watched. Qu Xiangru won't let him off."

"Even if this time isn't successful, there will be a next time."

"You know better than I do how many issues Qin Yuejin has; he simply can't withstand an investigation."

He Kang was a bit flustered, "So what should we do?"

"What's the panic for?" He Sen was dissatisfied with his son's mentality.

Faced with a problem, he panics instead of staying calm.

He Kang said, "Qin Yuejin is about to be investigated, what if he implicates us..."

"He won't." He Sen said, "He wouldn't dare."

He Kang said, "Even if he doesn't dare say anything, Qu Xiangru will investigate!"

He Sen sighed softly; once his son panicked, he lost his ability to think.

"An official at Qu Xiangru's level knows when to stop."

"Her only goal is to regain control of the Police Department's power, and she won't overreach."

"Behind Qin Yuejin, it's not just me, there's also Yunhai Club's Mr. Luo."

"And behind Mr. Luo, there's a leader from the Provincial City."

"As long as Qu Xiangru isn't foolish, she won't stir up trouble that she can't control."

"If things blow up, even as the Executive Deputy Governor, she won't be able to handle it."

He Kang's lips felt a bit dry; he swallowed and said, "Then, what about Qin Yuejin..."

He Sen said, "The best thing he can do now is turn himself in; maybe he'll get away with just being expelled without criminal charges."

"Should I tell him?"

"Tell him what?"

He Sen suddenly scolded, "Are you stupid? Can you even talk about this kind of thing?"

"What does his business have to do with you?"

"From now on, don't bother with him."

"I understand."

He Kang stood up and said, "Dad, then I'll head back."

"It's late; don't go back." He Sen said, "Stay here for a while and don't wander around. If he calls you again, tell me immediately."

He was worried that if he didn't keep an eye on his son, he might cause trouble.

"Alright."

He Kang didn't say anything but accepted the old man's arrangement.

He walked into the room, and just as he lay down, the door suddenly opened.

A graceful figure walked over, lifted the quilt, and got into the bed.

He Kang frowned and was about to speak when the maid said, "Mr. He asked me to come over."

"..." He Kang was speechless.

But since she had been sent over, there was no reason to send her away.

He lifted the quilt and said, "Get in."

...

Song Guanchao arrived at the City Committee early in the morning.

He made an office available on the first floor, which would be his office location from now on.

He had many things to do today.

After all, having just taken office as District Chief, he had to contact people below and hold a meeting.

He also needed to make time to visit the District Committee and meet Tongchi District's Secretary Zhao.

And as a formality, he had to show his face at the City Government.

Although Zheng Bihui was only nominally in charge, appearances had to be maintained, so no one could talk.

He made a schedule of everything he needed to do and realized it was quite a lot.

One day was not enough time.

"Knock, knock."

Just as Song Guanchao was preparing to report to the City Government, his first guest arrived at the office.

It was Wu Yun.

She walked over with a cup of milk tea, put it down, and walked around the office with her little hands behind her back, looking in various places.

"Wow, your office is really dirty, so much dust."

Wu Yun came back after a round and said, "I'll help you clean up later."

Song Guanchao chuckled, "Why clean up? There'll be cleaning staff later."

Wu Yun snorted lightly, "Why, are you afraid of being seen by others?"

Song Guanchao said, "I'm not afraid, but if Jiajia sees, how do you plan to explain? Are you going to openly tell her you're trying to steal me from her?"

"Ah! Is she coming over?" Wu Yun's eyes showed a bit of panic.

She wasn't afraid of others seeing her and even hoped people from the City Committee would see, to solidify their relationship and dispel any thoughts others might have.

She knew that many women in the City Committee were eager for Song Guanchao.

Although Song Guanchao had been hiding it well, Wu Yun wasn't a fool.

She had long noticed that Xu Xin from the City Committee Office, another secretary of Wu Qiangwei, Zeng Li, and even Jiang Yiren, Secretary of Qu Xiangru, were all flirting with Song Guanchao.

Though she had no concrete evidence, her sharp female intuition told her that the relationships between Song Guanchao and these women were anything but ordinary.

She came today, saying it was to clean, but it also had the purpose of asserting her claim.

However, Song Guanchao's words just now made her feel guilty.

Others didn't matter, but facing Liang Jiajia, she really hadn't planned on how to deal with it.

She said that since Song Guanchao was not married, she didn't care how many women were outside.

But in truth, Liang Jiajia was his girlfriend in name.

She felt somewhat insecure.

"She probably won't come over." Song Guanchao said, "But do you think she's unaware of the state of my office?"

"The things happening here, she often gets first-hand information. I suspect she has a spy in the City Committee."

"Then, then... then I won't clean for you."

She pushed the milk tea over again, "It's still hot; drink it quickly. I'll go to work first."

She left in a hurry; her back showed she was a bit panicked.

Song Guanchao laughed, tidied up the table briefly, and took the milk tea as he walked out.

He hadn't even left the door when he saw Zeng Li walking in.

She walked in with her hands behind her back, like an official inspecting, and finally nodded, "Not bad."

Then she saw the milk tea in his hand and immediately became alert, "Which bitch sent you this?"

"Secretary Wu sent it to me."

"Hmph, I came over with Sister Weiwei in the morning, don't try to fool me!"

"Just kidding, I brought it for you."

"Really?"

"Just kidding, actually, another girl gave it to me, and I'm passing it on to you."

"Hmph, I don't believe it. It must have been bought by you just for me."

Zeng Li grabbed it, inserted a straw, and happily took a sip.

So sweet!

At 9:30, Song Guanchao arrived at the City Government.

"Secretary Sun, is Mayor Zheng here?" Song Guanchao asked with a smile.

"Yes, just a moment."

Secretary Sun suppressed his annoyance and went in to announce, then came out, "District Chief Song, please come in."

Yes, Song Guanchao was now a District Chief.

And I am still just a secretary.

Secretary Sun felt extremely unbalanced in his heart.

However, the gap between the two was now too great, and with Zheng Bihui out of favor, he and Song Guanchao were no longer people from the same world.

Song Guanchao walked into the office and chatted with Zheng Bihui for more than ten minutes, exchanging some pleasantries and official chatter, then went to Jiang Yuan's office.

As he arrived, he happened to run into Qin Yuejin directly.

Song Guanchao was a bit surprised, what was this guy doing here?

Qin Yuejin didn't give him a good look.

"Secretary Fang, is Mayor Jiang in?"

"Yes, Director Qin, please wait a moment." Fang Wei asked, "Secretary Song, are you also here to see Mayor Jiang?"

"No rush, let Director Qin go first. I'll wait patiently."

Song Guanchao demonstrated enough magnanimity.

He was already a District Chief and needed to be tolerant.

He wouldn't stoop to this fool's level.
