A prison disaster...

Xiang Dong's eyelid twitched fiercely. If it weren't for the presence of several leaders here, he would've slapped him already.

He sneered, "Secretary Song, you'd better worry about yourself!"

"Heh heh."

Song Guanchao smiled slightly, not wasting words with him.

He stepped out of the corridor, heading towards the hall.

Suddenly, a policeman jogged up.

"Director Qin, there's been a development in the case!"

Everyone stopped in their tracks.

Song Guanchao also glanced over with curiosity.

Was there progress so soon?

The young policeman handed over some documents and said, "This is the content of the text messages on Song Guanchao's phone."

"We found that this text message was sent at 8:43 pm last night."

"According to Song Guanchao's statement and call records, the last call between Song Guanchao and Director Yang was at 8:40 pm."

"And after that, Song Guanchao had a call with Secretary Wu, and it was during this call that the text message came through."

Song Guanchao froze for two seconds.

He remembered it.

Last night, he indeed received a text message.

He was about to read it, but just then, the call with Wu Qiangwei connected.

After the call, he turned his head and forgot about that text message.

He became curious. Who sent the text message?

And what was in it?

Director Qin looked down, the paper showed a photo of the text message.

From an unknown number, the content read: "Wanlin Town Land Temple."

Director Qin frowned: "Just these few words?"

What kind of progress is that?

Director Liang took the materials, glanced at them, and asked, "What's wrong with this content?"

The young policeman glanced at Director Qin and then at Liang Jianfeng, unsure why Director Liang would be here.

Director Qin said, "This case is now handled by the provincial special task force, and Director Liang is the deputy leader of the task force."

The young policeman let out an oh and quickly said, "According to our investigation, the number that sent this text message had previous contact with Zhang Fang."

"Based on the current information, we determine that the owner of this number is one of the criminals involved in the kidnapping case."

Director Liang asked, "Secretary Song, do you know this place?"

Song Guanchao shook his head: "Never heard of it."

Director Liang nodded, turned around, and said, "Take Secretary Song to the Fengjiang Branch first. Without my permission, no one is allowed to make private contact or interrogate!"

As he said this, he gave Director Qin a blatant look.

This made Director Qin feel very embarrassed and a bit unable to make a comeback.

Director Liang walked out while contacting Captain Shi of the criminal police team: "Captain Shi, it's me, the case of Director Yang is now handled by the provincial office..."

After explaining a bit, he said: "Lead your team to Wanlin Town's Land Temple immediately, seal it off, and don't let anyone get close."

"Also, contact the SWAT explosive team to go with you, check if there are any flammable or explosive materials in the Land Temple. After the inspection, search the Land Temple thoroughly."

They exited and got in the car.

Director Qin stood at the door, watching Liang Jianfeng and his group leave, his face very grim.

Xiang Dong said sinisterly, "Damn Song Guanchao!"

Director Qin snorted: "Useless!"

"We couldn't get a statement in one night plus half a morning!"

Xiang Dong was a bit embarrassed at once: "Director Qin, you don't understand, this kid's psychological resilience is too strong..."

"Don't give me excuses."

Director Qin waved his hand, turned around, and left.

...

The car drove out of the city bureau, and as they passed a public toilet, Song Guanchao suddenly said, "Director Liang, I need to use the restroom."

"Stop the car."

The car was filled with Liang Jianfeng's people.

All reliable.

Moreover, Song Guanchao was just a criminal suspect at this point, not yet convicted.

Besides, this was a normal request.

"Take him to the restroom."

Two policemen flanked Song Guanchao as he entered the bathroom.

Song Guanchao entered a stall and closed the door.

A few minutes later, he came out.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the Fengjiang Branch.

The branch's director had been promoted by Liang Jianfeng, which was also why he chose this place.

Now seeing a group getting off the car, Director Zhao, who was specifically waiting at the entrance, quickly stepped forward to greet them.

"Director Liang."

Director Zhao put on a sycophantic smile, and Liang Jianfeng sighed inwardly.

Though Director Zhao was promoted by him, the man himself had average capabilities and was politically savvy.

There wasn't much wrong with him, and there simply wasn't a more suitable candidate, otherwise, Liang Jianfeng wouldn't have promoted him.

"Let's discuss inside."

Just as Liang Jianfeng was about to walk in, Song Guanchao suddenly said, "Director Liang, can I speak a few words with Secretary Wu?"

Liang Jianfeng paused his steps, glanced back at Wu Qiangwei, who had followed them all the way.

She had also gotten out of the car.

He checked the time and said, "Five minutes."

"Alright."

Song Guanchao walked over, and two policemen wanted to follow him, but Liang Jianfeng stopped them.

He didn't know what Song Guanchao wanted to say to Wu Qiangwei, but it must be something important.

This case was now under the management of Wu Qiangwei, and their private conversation posed no issues.

Song Guanchao walked over, glancing at Wu Ming who had followed them: "Go to the car, I have something to discuss with the secretary."

Wu Ming's mouth twitched, thinking, damn it, he still orders me around even after being caught.

Wu Qiangwei, looking at the bloodshot eyes and fatigue in his brows, felt a bit sorry: "Didn't sleep last night?"

"In Director Qin's hands, how could he let me sleep?"

"Did they make a move?"

"Just about to, but I taught them a lesson."

Song Guanchao knew she was worried and concerned about him, and said, "Secretary, don't worry, I'm fine. With Director Qin's methods, he can't handle me."

"Secretary, I'd like to ask you a favor."

"Go ahead."

"Take out your phone."

Wu Qiangwei took out her phone, and Song Guanchao said, "Dial, 138..."

He recited a string of numbers before saying, "Call it."

Wu Qiangwei hesitated a bit: "What are you going to do?"

"Do you trust me, Secretary?"

"I do."

"Then call it."

Wu Qiangwei pursed her lips and made the call.

"Good, now put the phone in the chest pocket of your shirt, screen facing the shirt."

Wu Qiangwei complied.

Soon, the call connected.

"Hello, who is this..."

"Madman, it's me."

"Squad leader?"

The voice on the phone was faint, but since they were close, both could hear it.

Song Guanchao said, "Now, I'll speak, you listen, don't ask."

"First thing, go immediately to the public restroom by the east gate of Lanhe Garden, Xuefu Road, third stall in the men's restroom on the right when you enter, I left something in the toilet, you go there personally to retrieve it."

"Second thing, check where Xiang Dong, the captain of the Lingjiang City Criminal Police Team's second team, usually lives, and hide the restroom item in his house. If he has a lover outside, hide it at his lover's place."

"Get these done today, and for any developments, directly contact this number and inform the owner of this number of any progress."

"Remember to be discreet when doing this."

"Also, for Tang Zhengqiang's matter, directly contact this number."

"I'm currently caught up in a murder case, can't get out for a while."

Lu Feng asked, "Murder case? Squad leader..."

"Alright, no more questions, it's no big deal, you hang up now."

After speaking, after two seconds, Lu Feng hung up the phone.

Wu Qiangwei immediately asked, "What did you hide in the restroom?"

She was a bit perplexed.

When Song Guanchao was detained, he had been searched from head to toe.

What could he possibly have on him?

Song Guanchao said, "I already told you, Xiang Dong is in for a prison disaster."

"Stop keeping me in suspense, what exactly did you hide?"

"Two guns."

"What!"
