The office door was slammed, swinging back and forth. Zeng Li walked over, took a glance, and closed it again.

Wu Qiangwei asked, "Are you planning to release the video from Yunhai Club?"

Song Guanchao shook his head.

This thing is a nuclear bomb.

The power of a nuclear bomb lies in its deterrent effect before it explodes.

Everyone knows you have a nuclear bomb, so they dare not act rashly.

But once the nuclear bomb is thrown out, it may hurt the enemy a thousand times but will also damage oneself by eight hundred.

Song Guanchao said, "We just need to spread the news."

Wu Qiangwei was thoughtful, frowning: "Spread it out... Luo Sanming might die."

Song Guanchao sneered, "If he doesn't die, why would I spread it?"

He wants Luo Sanming dead!

After all, Zhang Yan is the Deputy Mayor of the Provincial City, with a lot of influence.

The officialdom is not about fighting and killing, but about human relations and affairs.

With her status, as long as she is willing to pay the price, she can certainly ask for the Provincial Committee's leadership.

No matter how many crimes Luo Sanming commits this time, if she really finds the Provincial Committee's leadership, it can still be suppressed.

By then, he might end up with a suspended death sentence.

The suspended death sentence could be reduced to life, and life could be further reduced.

Then he could apply for medical parole.

Probably, he wouldn't serve more than two years in prison before coming out.

But for Song Guanchao, the best outcome for Luo Sanming is death!

He has committed too many evil deeds; death is not enough to atone for his sins!

If such a person lives, it's a trampling on the law, a mockery of those deceased female students.

Since the law can't sentence him to death, Song Guanchao doesn't mind using some extraordinary means.

...

After Zhang Yan left Wu Qiangwei's office, she did not leave the City Committee but went directly to Qu Xiangru's office.

The outcome was no different.

No matter what conditions she offered, Qu Xiangru refused.

Leaving the City Committee, Zhang Yan got into the car and said, "Back to the Provincial City!"

...

On Zhang Yan's way back.

The Lingjiang City Propaganda Department released an announcement.

Yunhai Club's chairman Luo Sanming is under investigation for multiple charges, including intentional homicide and illegal detention.

Almost simultaneously, the Lingjiang Police Department also released an announcement.

The announcement stated that police found pinhole cameras in all rooms of Yunhai Club.

These two pieces of news quickly spread through the Lingjiang officialdom, causing an uproar.

Any officials who had been to Yunhai Club felt a chill down their spines upon hearing this.

There were cameras installed in Yunhai Club's rooms!

That means whatever they did in the club might have been recorded.

No, not might have been, but definitely!

They were furious, almost wishing they could rip Luo Sanming apart!

But deep down, they still held a glimmer of hope.

Although the cameras were discovered, it doesn't necessarily mean they can find evidence on them.

Moreover, Luo Sanming surely wouldn't dare hand these videos to the police.

However, things didn't go as they imagined.

That afternoon, Liang Jianfeng personally led a team to the City Government.

Reportedly, three Director-level officials were arrested on the spot from the city government office.

These three were frequent visitors to Yunhai Club.

After this news spread, everyone who had been to Yunhai Club was filled with anxiety.

They tried to contact people in the police department to get some detailed information.

Perseverance paid off, and indeed, they found out something.

They learned that it was with Luo Sanming's cooperation that the police obtained some videos.

The three people caught that afternoon were incriminated by the videos provided by Luo Sanming.

Upon learning this, some people couldn't sit still.

...

Luo Sanming lay on the hospital bed, surrounded inside and out by police officers, with a high level of protection.

He still didn't know what was happening in the outside world.

Lying on the bed, his gaze was profound.

He never thought he would one day end up in such a situation.

However, he was not flustered.

Because he knew Zhang Yan would definitely try to help him.

"Song Guanchao!"

Luo Sanming muttered the name.

This time, he fell into the hands of this young man.

Since he was admitted last night, he had not slept all night and spent it thinking and analyzing.

Whether he accepts it or not, he has to admit that, this time, he lost without injustice.

The blame lies only on underestimating the enemy.

But the reason he underestimated the enemy was also because Song Guanchao was too young.

He never thought this young man could silently set a trap without him noticing any issues.

This incident was quite a blow to him.

Luo Sanming had already decided that once he gets through this crisis, he would retire.

He had made enough money and it was time to enjoy life.

...

After Zhang Yan returned to the Provincial City, she contacted Zhang Jie, Director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission.

Although they both had the last name Zhang, they were not related.

She found Zhang Jie, hoping he could help her speak to the Provincial Committee's leadership.

As the Director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Zhang Jie holds significant influence, and although not in the Standing Committee, still cannot be underestimated.

In terms of real power, there are no more than ten people stronger than Zhang Jie in Nanjiang Province.

Moreover, the Development and Reform Commission holds substantial value with wide channels for advancement.

This time, with Governor Hou retiring, Zhang Jie had a great opportunity, but after Secretary Tian approached her and negotiated, she gave up the idea of competing for the governorship.

"I'll contact Secretary Tian for you, you head back first." Zhang Jie agreed to help her contact Secretary Tian to see if anything could be maneuvered.

She was willing to step forward because the benefits Zhang Yan offered were tempting.

Zhang Yan promised that if they could get Luo Sanming out, she was willing to exchange with Yunhai Club.

With such a great benefit, of course Zhang Jie would give it a try.

After Zhang Yan left, she went to the Provincial Committee intending to have a face-to-face conversation with Secretary Tian.

This time she withdrew from the governorship competition, leaving Secretary Tian indebted to her.

Now, it's time to redeem this favor.

She arrived at the Provincial Committee, met with Secretary Tian, and briefly explained the matter.

Secretary Tian had been following this case. This morning, after Jiang Yuan's meeting ended, he reported the meeting's content to him.

So, he actually knew more about the situation than Zhang Jie.

This issue was a bit tricky.

He wasn't exactly eager to get involved.

With Governor Hou retiring soon, he wanted to avoid any additional complications during this period.

But with Zhang Jie approaching him, outright rejection didn't seem appropriate.

"I'll look into it first, and you wait for my message."

After sending off Zhang Jie, Secretary Tian gently sighed.

He glanced at the time; it was already afternoon.

Alright, a trip to Lingjiang it is.

Whether it can be resolved or not, he has to go through the process.

On the way to Lingjiang, Secretary Tian dialed Liang Jianfeng's number.

"Mayor Liang, how's the case going?"

"Already closed."

"Mayor Liang's ability to crack cases is as strong as ever."

Secretary Tian chuckled and said, "I'm in Lingjiang now, let's have a drink tonight."

Liang Jianfeng felt a wave of emotions.

This Secretary Tian chose this time to come to Lingjiang and specifically called to ask about this case.

It seems he's here for the case.
