Although Secretary Tian didn't want to get involved in this matter, he believed that even if he did, it wouldn't be a big issue.

He was the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee of Nanjiang Province, the third in command.

Liang Jianfeng was just a Vice Mayor and not even a member of the City Committee's standing committee.

As a secretary, giving some guidance on the case, he thought Liang Jianfeng would still show him some respect.

However, the development of the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

It wasn't that Liang Jianfeng was disrespectful.

In fact, he didn't even have time to offer any guidance before he realized he couldn't resolve the issue.

Because the matter had blown up.

The video from the Yunhai Club was exposed!

Moreover, someone had already been arrested.

Now the entire political scene in Lingjiang was in turmoil, and everyone was afraid that they might be the next to be arrested.

After learning of this, Secretary Tian knew he couldn't get this person out.

And he also realized that Liang Jianfeng had already guessed the purpose of his visit.

That's why he rushed to disclose the situation with the case to avoid putting him in an awkward position.

After dinner, Secretary Tian didn't stay in Lingjiang; he hurried back overnight.

It wasn't until the next day that he contacted Zhang Jie to inform her about the details of the case.

From Zhang Jie's reaction, Secretary Tian knew she was contacting him on someone else's behalf, not because she was trying to get someone out herself.

Then, Zhang Jie contacted Zhang Yan.

When Zhang Yan heard about it, she was stunned.

For a long time, there was no sound from Zhang Yan, and Zhang Jie couldn't help but urge: "Mayor Zhang?"

"I, I heard."

Zhang Jie steadied her tumultuous feelings: "Thanks to Director Zhang."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jie slumped in her chair, looking lost and despondent.

She finally understood what Song Guanchao meant by that sentence.

He had exposed the secrets of the Yunhai Club!

Damn, that bastard!

He was trying to drive Luo Sanming to death!

What to do, what should be done?

If the situation continued to escalate, even with police protection, Luo Sanming's life would be hard to ensure.

Over the years, the Yunhai Club had entertained too many distinguished guests.

There were leaders from the political circle, tycoons from the business world, and even quite a few officials from other cities.

Even leaders from the province had visited the Yunhai Club.

Her fists clenched with anger, yet she felt powerless.

Because she realized there was nothing she could do.

Wu Qiangwei and Qu Xiangru completely ignored her, and even if she could invite Director Zhang, it would be of no use.

For the first time, Zhang Yan felt despair.

She felt utterly useless.

Just then, her phone rang again.

It was Wu Qiangwei calling!

...

In Lingjiang, at the City Committee.

Song Guanchao leaned back in his office chair and said, "Secretary, contact Mayor Zhang."

Wu Qiangwei was puzzled: "Why contact her?"

"Director Liang told me this morning that Secretary Tian specially came to Lingjiang last night."

Wu Qiangwei frowned at once: "Is it for Luo Sanming's case?"

Song Guanchao nodded: "It should be that Mayor Zhang sought connections."

"However."

"After Secretary Tian understood the situation here, he left without saying anything. Secretary Tian also knew that in this situation, his intervention wouldn't help, so he couldn't assist."

Wu Qiangwei was even more confused: "Then why are you asking me to contact Mayor Zhang?"

Song Guanchao said, "Didn't Mayor Zhang say she was willing to exchange three listed companies for Luo Sanming?"

Wu Qiangwei's expression became serious: "How can you have such an idea?"

Song Guanchao knew she misunderstood.

"I'm not trying to exchange Luo Sanming for the companies. At this point, even three, let alone thirty companies, couldn't save Luo Sanming from legal punishment."

"However, we can exchange for Luo Sanming's safety."

"What do you mean?"

"Over the years, Yunhai Club has entertained countless leaders. Now that the secret is exposed, do you think Luo Sanming can live to see his trial?"

Wu Qiangwei was stunned, and Song Guanchao continued: "Of course, as long as Luo Sanming is in Lingjiang, we must ensure his safety."

"But Mayor Zhang won't see it that way. In her view, Luo Sanming staying in Lingjiang is even more dangerous."

"If so, let's do her a favor by transferring Luo Sanming to the Provincial City. This case itself is handled by the Provincial Department's special task force, so transferring to the Provincial City is reasonable."

"It's a favor that costs nothing to grant, wouldn't you agree?"

Wu Qiangwei understood his meaning.

Seeing his sly smile, she couldn't help but laugh.

This guy really doesn't take any loss.

After framing Luo Sanming, he didn't just arrest him but also intended to take advantage of Zhang Jie.

"That's a good idea."

Wu Qiangwei's lips curled into a bright smile, which captivated Song Guanchao.

She picked up her phone and called Zhang Jie.

...

When Mayor Zhang received Wu Qiangwei's call, she was very excited.

She thought Wu Qiangwei had changed her mind, but she only agreed to transfer Luo Sanming to the Provincial City.

Just for the transfer, they wanted three listed companies.

The deal was evidently unequal.

However, she had no choice and no right to negotiate.

If Luo Sanming were to remain in Lingjiang, there would surely be a threat to his life.

By transferring him to the Provincial City, she could at least prevent such an event from happening.

"Alright!"

She agreed.

...

"She agreed," Wu Qiangwei said, "I'll contact Director Liang in a moment."

"I'll go busy myself now."

Song Guanchao inwardly sneered.

Care causes confusion, and Zhang Jie, this fool, failed to see the situation clearly.

At present, Luo Sanming was actually safest in Lingjiang.

Because most of the Yunhai Club's clients were locals in Lingjiang.

Once he was transferred to the Provincial City, these people wouldn't hold back, and at that point, Luo Sanming would only die faster.

But none of this concerned him anymore.

He went to the temporary office on the first floor and called Qin Yuejin.

Now that Luo Sanming was in custody, it was time for Qin Yuejin to show up.

"Director Qin, did you see the news?"

The call connected, and Song Guanchao casually asked.

Qin Yuejin replied sullenly, "I saw it."

"When are you coming to surrender?"

Qin Yuejin was silent.

Song Guanchao didn't rush him.

If he was willing to surrender, that would be best, making it easier for everyone and saving police resources.

If not, he could just send more police officers and drones to conduct a blanket search in the area where his phone was last located.

Just a matter of spending more time.

"Ten million," Qin Yuejin suddenly said after a long silence.

Song Guanchao narrowed his eyes, his tone unfriendly: "Does Director Qin think I've never seen money?"

"Twenty million!"

"Ha."

Song Guanchao smiled mockingly, glanced at his watch: "It's nine fifty-three now, so before two in the afternoon, come to Xue Ming Road Police Station in Tongchi District to turn yourself in. I'll be waiting for you."

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly, not saying another word to him.

After lunch.

Song Guanchao went to the police station.

The station chief was surprised to see him, politely saying, "What instructions do you have, District Chief Song?"

Song Guanchao said, "Qin Yuejin will come to surrender later, so make preparations."
