"Secretary Wu, have you forgotten?"

Director Qin feigned surprise: "This morning, you called me to your office, saying the demolition funds hadn't been released. You were worried about these troublemakers causing a scene, and asked me to arrange more people to keep an eye on them."

"If anyone dares to cause trouble, arrest them immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of several standing committee members varied.

They looked at Director Qin, then at Wu Qiangwei's expression, and the general situation became clear to them.

Wu Qiangwei remained calm and said, "Director Qin, you can eat things recklessly, but you can't speak recklessly. Think carefully again, did I really say this?"

Director Qin frowned, somewhat angry: "What do you mean, Secretary Wu? The instructions you gave me this morning, can I forget them?"

Secretary Lu tried to mediate: "Alright, now's not the time to discuss this, let's resolve the matter here first."

Director Qin walked ahead, and a group of police officers immediately surrounded him to report the situation.

"Director Qin, these demolition households attacked the police and smashed the police cars!"

Liang Jianfeng also came over and said, "Director Qin, let them go back. The demolition households are quite agitated, we can't exacerbate the situation further."

"Liang Jianfeng!"

Director Qin said in a deep voice: "As a deputy director, is this how you handle things?"

"Didn't you hear the words 'attacked the police'?"

"A group of troublemakers, secretly plotting to protest at the City Committee, and you do nothing!"

"They attack the police, smash police cars, and you do nothing."

"And now you want to let them go?"

"Liang Jianfeng, you are a police officer. Your duty is to protect the safety of the public, not to let a group of criminals evade the responsibility of the law!"

Director Qin first put a big hat on him, then turned to Secretary Lu and others: "Sorry for letting the leaders laugh at us, this Liang Jianfeng, not knowing priorities at crucial times, I'll have him write a review soon!"

Liang Jianfeng was not angry, and only spoke after he finished: "Director Qin, let me remind you, it was these police officers who struck first. What is called attacking the police are their rightful defenses for their personal safety."

"Shut up!"

"From now on, don't speak!"

Director Qin snorted, made a phone call: "Deploy all the police on duty right now to the East Gate of Chunyu Road District, bring all the police cars over!"

After hanging up the call, Director Qin instructed the on-site police officers: "Keep them stable first, when backup arrives, arrest all these lawless demolition householders!"

"Yes!"

Several police officers quickly spread the word.

At this moment, a black Mercedes coupe stopped by the roadside.

Jiang Yiren got out of the car and saw all the standing committee members gathered not far away.

Secretary Sun waved at her.

She walked over and said, "Secretary Sun, you called me here, what's the matter?"

Secretary Sun walked with her to the side, lowered his voice and said, "Jiang, do you know what happened here?"

Jiang Yiren shook her head.

There are so many people here.

And they are cursing and swearing.

Secretary Sun briefly explained the situation to her.

After listening, Jiang Yiren was extremely surprised.

Secretary Sun lastly reminded her: "Jiang, you just came to the City Committee and don't understand the situation here. In the future, interact less with Secretary Song, you never know when you might get caught in the fire."

Jiang Yiren did not respond.

She indeed didn't understand the situation in the City Committee but could see that there seemed to be a deep contradiction between Secretary Sun and Secretary Song.

It's not that she was oblivious to social interactions, but she didn't care.

In fact, her mind was very keen.

From the first meeting, she sensed that Secretary Sun had a favorable impression of her.

Moreover, he would often do things that made her uncomfortable.

In comparison, although Song Guanchao targeted her for unknown reasons, at least in private life, Song Guanchao had never made her feel uncomfortable.

At this time, a young police officer came over: "Director Qin, there's news to report to you!"

"Speak."

The young police officer glanced at Wu Qiangwei, seemingly reluctant to speak openly.

Director Qin urged, "Speak!"

The young police officer said, "A man named Brother Hui contacted dozens of demolition households, planning to go to the City Committee and City Government to cause trouble early tomorrow morning."

"We learned from Brother Hui that someone instructed him to do so!"

"Who instructed him?"

"It's..." The young police officer's eyes kept drifting towards Wu Qiangwei, though he didn't say it, the meaning was clear even to a blind person.

"Speak, who is it?"

"It's Secretary Wu's secretary, Song Guanchao."

The young police officer immediately added: "I didn't say that, it was Brother Hui who said it!"

Director Qin's eyes lit up with excitement as he continued to ask: "Did Brother Hui say why Secretary Song did it?"

"He did. He said, Secretary Song told him that the city can't distribute the demolition funds now. To get the funds, they should cause a big scene at the City Committee and City Government. Mayor Zheng and Secretary Lu will succumb to public pressure and release the funds."

Click.

Secretary Lu lit a cigarette, took a puff, and frowned: "Young man, are you sure about this?"

The young police officer stood upright: "I'm sure! Brother Hui is in the police car, and besides me, two other colleagues also heard it. Moreover, we recorded it all with a voice recorder!"

Which police officer brings a voice recorder on duty?

With such professional equipment prepared, it is clear this was a premeditated setup.

Minister Zhou and several others also lit cigarettes, their faces flickered with the brightness and dimness of the cigarette butts.

Now, it can be confirmed that today's farce was orchestrated jointly by Mayor Zheng and Secretary Lu.

Oh, and also Director Qin.

Secretary Wang sighed inwardly, Secretary Wu was still too young, caught in a joint setup with no way to fight back.

Minister Zhou, on the other hand, observed Wu Qiangwei and found her emotions remained very calm.

Though she was usually calm when encountering matters, today's calm was notably different.

At this moment, there wasn't a trace of anger in her eyes, Minister Zhou even saw a hint of mocking smile in her eyes.

Minister Zhou quietly thought to himself, perhaps there's more to this story.

In contrast, Chu Xiao'e wasn't as composed.

She stood aside, brows furrowed, her emotions weren't entirely concealed, yet they were quite evident.

Listening to the young police officer's account, Jiang Yiren's intuition told her that this wasn't the truth!

She wasn't familiar with Song Guanchao, who targeted her with cold treatment.

But these can't hide the fact that Song Guanchao is a man with principles.

She absolutely couldn't do such a thing without principles.

"It seems this is an organized, premeditated malicious incident!"

Director Qin looked pained and bitter: "However, what Brother Hui said also can't be fully trusted."

"Secretary Wu, I suggest you call Secretary Song over. Let's face the confrontation!"

"What do you think, Secretary Wu?"

"That's a very good suggestion." Wu Qiangwei's tone was light and easygoing as she dialed Song Guanchao's phone: "Secretary Song, come over."
