Chapter 1831
Song Guanchao sent the surveillance to him, and Wei Li said seriously, "Leave this matter to me, I’ll handle it well."
"Officer Wei, I’m counting on you."
"I’m a policeman, that’s my duty." Wei Li shook his head, showing a righteous demeanor.
Song Guanchao exchanged a few more pleasantries with him, then turned to leave, but Wei Li suddenly called out to him, "Mr. Song."
"What’s up?"
Wei Li shook his phone, "Besides you, who else knows about this surveillance?"
Song Guanchao replied, "I just got the video and came to find you immediately."
"That’s good." Wei Li sighed with relief, "I hope Mr. Song won’t mention it to outsiders, better not even to Jiajia. You should understand how atrocious the nature of this matter is. Once it spreads, it would have a hugely negative impact on our police force."
Song Guanchao feigned understanding, "Got it, I understand."
Once he walked away, Wei Li immediately dialed his brother’s number.
Actually, upon realizing Secretary Liu’s brother was the deputy director of the Fengcheng District branch, Wei Li had no intention of meddling in this matter.
But knowing that Song Guanchao managed to get evidence, Wei Li’s first reaction was that his brother, also a deputy director at the Fengcheng District branch, perhaps could use this as leverage.
His brother and Secretary Liu’s brother were deputy directors in the same branch, normally they should be competitors.
But that’s just the normal situation; he’s not sure.
Ultimately, it’s up to his brother to decide what to do.
The call connected quickly, Wei Li walked away, and rapidly explained the situation here to his brother.
Wei Li’s brother named Wei De, after listening to his brother’s account, thought for a few seconds, then said, "Send me the video."
"Bro, how’s your relationship with that Secretary Liu’s brother?" He was curious.
Wei De sneered, "I’ve been wanting to deal with him for ages!"
"Bro, this case could definitely get him fired!"
Knowing the two didn’t get along, Wei Li suddenly felt a bit excited.
This meant the video in his hands could easily take down the opponent.
Wei De said, "No need to get him fired; within the system, it’s better to have more friends."
"Huh?" Wei Li didn’t understand, "Aren’t you going to deal with him?"
Wei De, in a good mood, patiently instructed him on the art of being an official, "Even though I dislike him, sometimes having a handle on someone is more effective than throwing it out."
Wei Li still didn’t quite understand, so Wei De said, "We’ll talk when you get back, just send over the video first."
"Got it."
"By the way, that Song guy, is he a department head?"
"Yes, the Director of Jiangzhou City Government Office." Wei Li said, "I checked him out, just from an ordinary family, no one backing him."
"Send me his name."
"Alright."
Wei De was quite cautious in his actions; even with his own brother’s words, he didn’t fully trust.
...
"What did Wei Li say?" Liang Jiajia asked.
"He said he’ll handle it and asked me not to tell anyone, even you."
"You don’t believe him?" Seeing Song Guanchao’s expression, Liang Jiajia knew what he was thinking.
Song Guanchao smiled, "We’ll just wait for the result."
Liang Jiajia seemed a bit worried, "If he informs Secretary Liu, they’ll definitely find a way to arrest you."
"Hmm... I’ll take a call." Song Guanchao picked up his phone; it was Leader Hong calling again.
"Director Song, Su Rong’s parents want to invite you for a meal." Leader Hong spoke apologetically.
Song Guanchao frowned, how did Su Rong’s parents know he was in Beijing?
As if sensing his thoughts, Leader Hong explained, "Don’t misunderstand, Director Song, Su Rong’s parents don’t know you’re in Beijing; they just want to go to Jiangzhou to apologize."
"No need."
"Okay, I’ll let them know." Leader Hong didn’t act like a mediator.
After the call, Song Guanchao sent Leader Hong’s number to Liang Jiajia, "Take note of the number."
"Who’s this?"
"Leader of Inspection Team 17, who inspected Jiangzhou last year. He owes me a favor; if I’m taken by local police, call him and tell him what’s going on."
After speaking, he also gave her Lin Wanqiu’s number, "Here’s the number of Lin Wanqiu, a journalist from the Ministry of Propaganda. She also owes me a favor. If it comes to that, call her too and have her come over to cover it."
Images of Lin Wanqiu flashed in Liang Jiajia’s mind; she recalled meeting Journalist Lin at the grand hall in Jiangzhou a couple of years ago.
In her impression, Lin Wanqiu was quite beautiful.
With her female intuition, she vaguely felt there might be something more between these two.
Song Guanchao felt a bit creeped out by her gaze but maintained composure, touching his face, "Why are you staring at me?"
"Why does she owe you a favor?" Liang Jiajia wasn’t one to hide things, and asked directly.
Song Guanchao asked, "Remember last year’s Pinghai City corruption case?"
"I remember."
"Back then, one of her colleagues went missing in Pinghai City..."
Song Guanchao opened his mouth and recounted the situation.
Listening to the story, Liang Jiajia didn’t find anything questionable, nodded with an "oh," and didn’t think further.
"Hoo~" Song Guanchao breathed a sigh of relief, checked the time, it was just past eight.
Tonight’s going to be long.
He closed his eyes, planning to rest for a bit, but just after closing them for two seconds, he opened them again.
Why stay up all night?
Lin Siyuan already sent the video, proving he’s been falsely accused.
And he also gave Wei Li the video.
If that’s the case, why stay in the village?
Just go rent a room!
A soft bed is much more comfortable than this hard car.
With this thought, he immediately walked towards Wei Li.
"Officer Wei, you don’t need to keep watch tonight, do you?"
Wei Li was taken aback by the question, took several seconds to realize what he meant.
Upon reflection, indeed, what’s the point of keeping watch now?
But his brother didn’t specify how to handle it yet, heading back to Beijing wouldn’t work.
He had to stay in the county for one night.
"I almost didn’t catch that; let’s stay in the county tonight, and tomorrow I’ll hand over to them before heading back."
"Alright." Song Guanchao turned to the car.
Getting in the car, Song Guanchao said, "Let’s go."
"Where to?"
"To the county, to rent a room."
Just as Liang Jiajia was about to ask why, she saw the other two cars starting, and she quickly understood.
Returning to the county and finding a hotel, Song Guanchao rented a separate room.
No matter what, Liang Jiajia was here for a mission, openly he had to avoid suspicion, to prevent gossip.
After getting the room, Song Guanchao took a shower and then dressed up to go to Liang Jiajia’s room.
Liang Jiajia had just showered too, wearing the hotel’s white cotton bathrobe.
Her evenly toned legs adorned with water droplets were exposed, the angled neckline revealing creamy skin, a charming fragrance emanating from her hair and body.
"Let’s wrap this up quickly." Song Guanchao reached out to untie the nightgown, hastily kissing her face.
Liang Jiajia pushed against his shoulder, glaring at him, "Why rush, do you have other women to visit tonight?"
Song Guanchao said, "I’m worried Wei Li might inform Secretary Liu, and they’ll come to arrest me in the middle of the night."
"Then why don’t you hurry back? If they find you with me..."
"It won’t be that fast; there’s still enough time. Come, let me give you a kiss."
Song Guanchao blocked her lips, deftly slipped his hands into the bathrobe, feeling the soft and fragrant skin, tightly wrapping around the smooth and toned waist, with steps moving, they rolled onto the bed.
