Official Career Storm

After listening to Jiang Wangshan's account, Director Chu muttered the name "Xu Chengcheng."

"A second-generation in Beijing..."

"That shouldn't be the case."

The fact that the other party could send someone from another city to arrest Song Guanchao indicates that they have significant connections in Beijing.

However, he had never heard of this name at all.

Moreover, judging by the name, it's evident that the parents wanted to keep their child away from politics.

This type of second-generation individual, apart from their background, has nothing else.

Once they cause a major incident, their family is unlikely to step in and help.

Strange, very strange.

"Let me first look into this Xu Chengcheng."

"Okay." Jiang Wangshan said, "I'll contact some other people."

Director Chu asked, "Who are you planning to contact?"

Jiang Wangshan smiled, "With Song Guanchao in trouble, I'm sure quite a few people in Beijing would be willing to step forward. This is a rather rare opportunity."

Director Chu initially wanted to say that they could handle this situation themselves.

But he's not sure about Xu Chengcheng's background now; what if Xu Chengcheng belongs to a top-tier family?

If that's the case, as the director of the Beijing City Bureau, he might not dare to provoke them.

He nodded in agreement.

Jiang Wangshan returned to his office and started making phone calls.

First, he called his father-in-law, Li Jiuling.

Li Jiuling is the head of the National Development and Reform Commission in Beijing, with immense power.

However, in such matters, it might not be effective for Li Jiuling to step in, given the lack of specialization.

But given his status, his involvement could effectively make the opponent recognize Song Guanchao's influence.

Next, he called Tang Xiaomi.

She is the granddaughter of the head of the Ministry of Public Security.

With her passing on the message, Minister Tang could know immediately.

Then he called Chen Bolli, the Vice Mayor of Beijing, ranking just below the Mayor and the Deputy Mayor, also holding a high position.

Finally, his finger hovered over a number for someone named Feng Rui.

Feng Rui, Luo Ke Gong's guard.

Luo Ke Gong, formerly the Commander of the Shengyang Military District, held the rank of General, retired from the position of a member of the Politburo.

Although retired, his family still holds numerous direct relatives in the military district and the government.

They have a large and established family, truly a political dynasty.

Aside from Luo Ke Gong, there is Yang Xiong.

The former head of the Central Disciplinary Inspection Committee, also retired from a Politburo position.

However, he didn't have contact details for Secretary Yang.

But he remembered that Secretary Yang and General Luo were closely connected and often communicated in their later years.

Moreover, they had close ties with Song Guanchao.

As long as General Luo knew, he would definitely inform Secretary Yang.

After calling Feng Rui, Jiang Wangshan wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead.

He had contacted all the acquaintances he knew of for Song Guanchao in Beijing.

Song Guanchao certainly has other connections, but due to his status, he couldn't know them all and could only do so much.

Even if that second-generation individual's background was significant in Beijing, he reckoned it wouldn't match up to Song Guanchao's.

"Knock knock."

"Come in."

A young police officer opened the door and entered: "Director Jiang, Director Chu wants you to come over."

It must be about finding that Xu Chengcheng's identity.

He arrived at the office: "Director Chu, did you find anything?"

Director Chu shook his head: "Couldn't find it."

"Couldn't find it?" Jiang Wangshan was surprised.

As the head of the Beijing City Public Security Bureau, there's no such thing as being unable to find someone.

No, there are indeed some situations where it's unreachable.

For instance, if this person's household registration isn't in Beijing.

Or, if their identity has a high level of confidentiality.

The latter possibility is extremely low; he figured it must be the former.

Director Chu asked, "How did the contacts go?"

"All contacted."

"Did Song Guanchao mention how he wants us to proceed?"

"He didn't say," Jiang Wangshan replied. "Song Guanchao had Governor Lu of Nanjiang Province contact Lin Wanqiu, and Lin Wanqiu then reached out to me."

Director Chu lit a cigarette: "The fact that Song Guanchao can still reach out shows that he is currently safe and also free."

Jiang Wangshan nodded in agreement, analyzing: "Lin Wanqiu said that Governor Lu has already contacted Governor Li of Wu Province, and Governor Li refused to release him."

Director Chu clicked his tongue: "Governor Li must know Xu Chengcheng's background, otherwise he wouldn't refuse."

Jiang Wangshan nodded in agreement, "Song Guanchao probably doesn't want to reveal his identity, which is why he contacted Lin Wanqiu in Governor Lu's name. And the fact that he contacted Governor Lu first also shows that he trusts him. So, if we step in, we'd better not expose Song Guanchao's connections in Beijing."

Director Chu exhaled a puff of smoke, saying, "Let's wait for the call and see what Mayor Chen and Director Li have to say."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wangshan's phone rang.

"It's Mayor Chen's call." He explained, putting it on speaker, "Hello, Mayor Chen."

Chen Bolli said, "I just received a call from Minister Tang."

Jiang Wangshan and Director Chu immediately straightened up.

He had guessed that Tang Xiaomi would tell Minister Tang, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

Moreover, Minister Tang contacted Chen Bolli immediately for Song Guanchao.

"Mayor Chen, what did Minister Tang say?" Director Chu asked.

Chen Bolli replied, "Minister Tang's directive is to find out the truth, not to wrongfully accuse a good person, nor to let a bad person go."

They were all intelligent people, everything was understood with just a hint.

"I understand," Director Chu knew what needed to be done.

"Yes, contact me if there are any issues." Chen Bolli ended the call.

Jiang Wangshan asked, "Director Chu, should I now contact Xu City Bureau?"

"No need to contact them."

Director Chu raised a hand to stop him, "Minister Tang wants us to solve this through regular channels and not use pressure tactics. But Song Guanchao may not want it to end so easily."

Jiang Wangshan's eyes flickered, "So, what do you mean, Director Chu?"

Director Chu said, "You should write an application right now. Regarding the deliberate injury case of Song Guanchao, our bureau will set up a supervision team to go to Xu City for inspection. Submit this application to the Ministry of Public Security; once approved, you immediately take people to Xu City."

Jiang Wangshan had a sudden realization, raising a thumb in praise: "Director Chu, that's a brilliant move!"

Director Chu smiled slightly, "Remember to invite that Miss Lin from the Ministry of Propaganda to join the supervision team and go with you."

"Okay, I understand."

Jiang Wangshan immediately went back to write the application and personally went to the Ministry of Public Security after completing it.

The Public Security Ministry staff looked bewilderingly at the application.

For a deliberate injury case, is it necessary to form a supervision team and make a special trip?

But seeing that the deputy director of the City Bureau personally delivered the application, they wasted no time and sent it up immediately.

Something even more surprising occurred.

The application was approved in just five minutes.

The staff stared at the application with Song Guanchao's name and realized that this person was no ordinary figure.

The officers from Xu City who arrested someone across provinces had really angered someone powerful!

Once the application was approved, the first thing Jiang Wangshan did was call Lin Wanqiu.

"Miss Lin, we are now inviting you to join the supervision team and head to Xu City to investigate the deliberate injury case involving Song Guanchao. Please go back, pack up some clothes, and come to the City Bureau to meet with us once you're ready."
