Too many people are implicated with the Yunhai Club.

Luo Sanming is a highly ambitious individual.

He uses money to pave the way, befriending officials, and through the Yunhai Club, provides sexual services to Lingjiang's officials.

Moreover, he daringly installed surveillance in the rooms, recording the entire process.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't use these recordings for threats.

He simply keeps them as a backup plan.

After all, not everyone is willing to cooperate.

Some matters carry higher risks, and officials are unwilling to cooperate.

In such cases, he would bring out these damaging materials to threaten them.

If nothing happened to him, it would actually be nothing.

But once something happens, these damaging materials can become his death sentence.

However, those officials who have enjoyed services at the Yunhai Club are still unaware of this matter.

So, for now, everything remains calm.

Song Guanchao said, "Keep them hidden, this stuff cannot be exposed."

Liang Jianfeng said, "I think the same."

He was worried that Song Guanchao might be too impulsive, directly exposing these videos and clearing out all the problematic ones in Lingjiang.

Luckily, this young man is not impulsive.

After Liang Jianfeng left, Song Guanchao made a phone call to Liu Zhonghe, the Deputy Mayor of Tongchi District.

"Mr. Liu, send a notification, we'll have a meeting in one hour."

After speaking, there was a long silence from Liu Zhonghe's side.

Song Guanchao thought the phone might have no signal.

He checked; the signal was full.

"Mr. Liu, did you hear me?"

"You... you are Song Guanchao?"

"Yes."

Song Guanchao sighed and briefly explained to him.

"Alright, I understand."

Liu Zhonghe hung up gloomily, feeling as if he had stepped on dog poop.

He thought Song Guanchao had fallen this time, but in just a few days, the case was solved.

He had no chance of being promoted to Deputy Mayor.

...

Provincial City, City Government.

Zhang Yan was working when suddenly she received a call.

"What?"

After hanging up, she looked somewhat disheartened.

Luo Sanming has been arrested!

And the evidence is conclusive!

Zhang Yan couldn't accept this fact.

How could it be so sudden?

Clearly yesterday, they were still chatting on the phone.

In just one short day, how was he arrested?

She immediately dialed Liang Jianfeng's number to confirm if this situation was real.

"Liang Jianfeng, did you arrest Luo Sanming?"

Liang Jianfeng frowned and said, "Mayor Zhang, this is a case of the Provincial Department's special task force, I have no obligation to report to you."

Zhang Yan's tone suddenly rose sharply: "Tell me, did you arrest him?"

Liang Jianfeng snorted coldly, showing no respect for her as Deputy Mayor, and directly hung up the phone.

"Bastard!"

Zhang Yan angrily smashed her phone on the ground.

Hearing the noise, Secretary Zhao Jian pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing the phone on the ground, he was extremely surprised; why was Mayor Zhang so angry?

He picked up the phone and walked over, saying, "Mayor, what's the matter?"

Zhang Yan's face was cold, she suddenly said, "Prepare the car, go to Lingjiang!"

At noon sharp.

Wu Qiangwei finished her lunch, opened a lounge chair, and prepared for her noon rest.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Secretary, Mayor Zhang from the Provincial City wants to see you," Zeng Li said, pushing the door open.

Zhang Yan?

Wu Qiangwei was a bit surprised.

Although she knew Zhang Yan had private relations with Luo Sanming, this time Luo Sanming's crimes were serious and wide-ranging.

In such a situation, anyone with a bit of sense would avoid it.

As Executive Deputy Mayor of the Provincial City, Zhang Yan not only did not avoid suspicion but actively came to Lingjiang.

What does she want to do?

Plead for Luo Sanming?

Or try to clear her relationship with Luo Sanming before me?

For a moment, she was unsure.

"Let her in."

Wu Qiangwei sat back on her office chair, and Zhang Yan also entered the office.

"Secretary Wu." Zhang Yan's expression was calm. After sitting down and waiting for Zeng Li to close the door, she spoke: "I heard the case supervised by the Provincial Department has been solved?"

Wu Qiangwei smiled and said, "This matter is not convenient to discuss with Mayor Zhang."

Zhang Yan said, "What, even I can't be told?"

"No." Wu Qiangwei rejected straightforwardly.

She actually admired Zhang Yan quite a bit.

This woman's thick skin is exemplary of shamelessness.

It has been only about a week since she set up and schemed against Wu Qiangwei and Qu Xiangru, yet she seemed to have forgotten about it.

She came over so proactively, speaking to me with such a calm demeanor.

For Wu Qiangwei to agree to meet her is already quite gracious.

If it were Qu Xiangru, she probably would have shut her out of the door.

Zhang Yan, of course, understood that because of the previous incident, she and these two women were already on opposite sides.

But she couldn't be bothered about all that.

She had to find a way to get Luo Sanming out!

But logically, she should go to Qu Xiangru.

Because Qu Xiangru is the leader in Lingjiang.

But she ultimately came to find Wu Qiangwei.

The reason is also simple, because Qu Xiangru also holds the position of Executive Deputy Governor.

And she is only the Executive Deputy Mayor.

The gap between her and Qu Xiangru is too large.

In other words, she has no qualifications to negotiate with Qu Xiangru.

Qu Xiangru also has no interest in negotiating with her.

Wu Qiangwei is different.

Wu Qiangwei is a Deputy Secretary, she still needs to climb higher.

And she can use these conditions to negotiate with her.

At this moment, facing Wu Qiangwei's direct refusal, she was not surprised at all, calmly saying: "Having one more friend in the political world is better than having one more enemy, don't you think, Secretary Wu?"

Wu Qiangwei squinted her eyes: "Is Mayor Zhang threatening me?"

"I wouldn't call it a threat…"

She had just started speaking when the office door was suddenly pushed open.

She turned back and saw a familiar figure.

Song Guanchao!

Zhang Yan had no favorable impression of him. Last time, if it weren't for him, Wu Qiangwei and Qu Xiangru would have already been taken down by her design!

"Get out." Zhang Yan ordered sharply.

Wu Qiangwei frowned, about to speak, but Song Guanchao spoke before her: "Mayor Zhang, you're exerting a lot of official authority, coming to Lingjiang to throw your weight around?"

He came over, pulled out a chair, and sat directly beside her.

Zhang Yan's eyes were icy, her heart enraged.

Song Guanchao, a mere district chief, dared to defy her!

And he completely disregarded her too.

"Knock knock."

Wu Qiangwei tapped the table: "Mayor Zhang, if there's nothing else, please leave, don't disturb my noon rest."

Zhang Yan said: "Release Luo Sanming, I can agree to a condition of yours."

Song Guanchao learned from Zeng Li that she came to see Wu Qiangwei, and his first thought was that she was here to make amends, to avoid being affected by Luo Sanming.

But hearing her say this, Song Guanchao realized he was wrong.

This woman isn't here to clear relations.

She's here to pull some strings.

Song Guanchao was incredibly surprised.

Does this woman have a screw loose?

Luo Sanming has already been arrested with quite serious charges.

Murder, possession of firearms, illegal detainment, and several other charges.

In such a situation, a normal person would avoid it.

She, on the other hand, rushed to pull strings.

Song Guanchao's eyes were peculiar, does this woman have such deep feelings for Luo Sanming?
