Luo Sanming was arrested?

Sister Lin seemed a bit dazed.

"Will he... come out again?"

She knew very well about Luo Sanming's abilities.

For people like him, being arrested doesn't necessarily mean being sentenced.

Even if sentenced, he could find ways to get out early.

The law has limited constraints on people like Luo Sanming.

Song Guanchao shook his head: "No chance."

"Really?"

Sister Lin found it incredible.

If you're worried, you can continue to stay here.

Song Guanchao returned her phone: "Relevant news will come out in the next two days."

He knew the shadow Luo Sanming cast on people like Sister Lin was significant; no matter how much he said, Sister Lin would still be worried.

Sister Lin didn't take the phone, instead she lifted the quilt and crawled to Song Guanchao, hugging him.

...

Next morning, at the City Committee Building.

When Song Guanchao entered the building, the staff stopped in their tracks, a ghostly expression on their faces.

Only when he entered the elevator did they become aware of themselves.

"Did I see it wrong? Was that Song Guanchao?"

"I saw him too."

"Wasn't he wanted?"

A group of people looked at each other, feeling shocked.

A wanted murder suspect suddenly appeared at the City Committee Building.

And he was so calm, as if just going to work.

His natural demeanor gave them an illusion that his being wanted never happened.

After a long time, suddenly someone said: "Should we call the police?"

"Shouldn't we just call the police?"

A young clerk eagerly dialed the police.

However, when he mentioned Song Guanchao appearing at the City Committee Building, the officer on the other side said: "Did District Chief Song going to the committee affect you?"

"??" The young clerk was baffled by the officer's response.

"Wasn't he wanted?"

"Oh, you're talking about that, the case is solved, District Chief Song was wrongfully accused."

For some reason, hearing this, the young clerk suddenly felt a bit disappointed.

Song Guanchao had good relations at the committee, but human nature is such.

Being too excellent means some will be jealous.

Even if not verbally expressed, they harbor those thoughts.

In certain circumstances, this dark psychology surfaces.

Song Guanchao being involved in a murder case, the gleeful ones weren't Zheng Bihui and Jiang Yuan.

But those ordinary clerks.

Because they knew they'd likely never even advance to vice-department level.

While Song Guanchao leapt four tiers in a year.

The huge gap made them despair, nurturing dark thoughts.

Thus, upon knowing Song Guanchao was wanted, they felt a hint of satisfaction.

Now, the case is solved, Song Guanchao is fine.

They suddenly felt very lost.

Their good mood all day was gone.

...

When Song Guanchao arrived at the office, Zeng Li stood up suddenly: "You're fine?"

"Yes, it's resolved."

Song Guanchao smiled at her and pushed the door into the office.

Hearing the door open, Wu Qiangwei frowned.

She hated this behavior of entering without knocking.

But when she looked up and saw Song Guanchao, she couldn't help but zone out a bit.

"You..."

"Secretary, the matter is settled."

Song Guanchao said as he sat down.

Wu Qiangwei steadied herself, hid her inner joy, and said calmly: "Tell me more."

Song Guanchao reported the actions of last night to her.

After hearing Song's plan, Wu admired his clever strategies, but couldn't help thinking of Qu Xiangru's words.

She indeed understood Song Guanchao better than oneself.

She didn't know why, but was compelled to ask: "Have you had an affair with Qu Xiangru?"

"Huh?" Song was dumbstruck, then immediately denied: "Impossible!"

Wu Qiangwei met his gaze, seemingly attempting to read his mind.

Even though Qu Xiangru said this was a joke later, it left a sting in her.

A woman's intuition told her, Qu Xiangru might not have been joking.

Song Guanchao tried to suppress his guilt, letting her stare without averting his eyes.

Wu Qiangwei retracted her gaze and asked: "Does Secretary Qu know about last night?"

"No," Song replied: "I only contacted Director Liang, didn't tell others."

Wu Qiangwei's gaze softened.

She initially thought Song was only keeping secrets from her.

"Go talk to her, she might be worried about you."

"..."

Testing!

She's testing me!

"She's worried about me?"

Song chuckled: "She's worried about Qin Yuejin not showing up."

"Then I'll report to Secretary Qu."

When he appeared outside Qu Xiangru's office, Jiang Yiren stared at him blankly, momentarily thinking she was hallucinating.

Was the man in front, Song Guanchao?

"Why is this woman in a daze?"

Song felt puzzled, waving his hand before Jiang Yiren's eyes.

"You're fine?" Jiang regained herself and quickly asked.

"I'm fine." Song asked: "Is Secretary Qu in her office?"

"Yeah, you're meeting her..."

"No need to inform, I'll just go in myself."

Song, with a familiarity, pushed open the door directly.

Qu Xiangru's reaction was just like Wu Qiangwei's.

Except she didn't stay dazed as long, just losing herself for two seconds, then returned to calm.

Song Guanchao appearing there indicated the matter was resolved.

Song Guanchao recounted the events of the night in detail to her.

"Where's Qin Yuejin?"

"I don't know," Song replied: "But I've contacted him, once the case is transferred to the judicial authorities, he'll naturally appear."

Qu Xiangru nodded slightly: "You may get busy."

Song stood, but didn't leave.

He approached Qu Xiangru, pulling her from her chair into his arms, kissing and touching without restraint.

Qu Xiangru was like a corpse, neither cooperating nor resisting.

Song Guanchao twisted her tongue hard: "You'll never repay my favor this lifetime."

He patted her firm and rounded butt, leaving the office.

After he left, Qu Xiangru tidied her hair, waited for her cheeks' warmth to cool, then picked up the phone, dialing Secretary Gao.

When Secretary Gao received the call, he was quite surprised.

He didn't expect the case to be solved.

And so fast!

Though unclear of the details and process, he guessed that this quick resolution was likely due to Song Guanchao's own skill.

After reporting to Secretary Gao, Liang Jianfeng's call came in.

Once he finished reporting, Qu Xiangru said: "Come to the committee for a meeting."

Later, she let Jiang Yiren enter: "Contact the leaders of the city government, have them come to the committee for a meeting."
