Director Qin's face looked very grim.

The video, he hadn't finished watching it.

There was no need to finish watching it.

The scene in the video was of him going to the office for the second time this morning.

And he was called over by Wu Qiangwei on her own initiative.

Wu Qiangwei called him over to discuss recent work plans.

She mentioned that the first time he came to the office, he talked to her for more than half an hour about party discipline and national law.

Director Qin felt a chill inside.

Even if he was foolish, he understood that what Mayor Zheng wanted him to do had already been discovered in advance by Wu Qiangwei.

However, he didn't understand; he couldn't grasp it.

How did Wu Qiangwei find out?

Zheng Bihui had just contacted him in the morning. He immediately went to see Wu Qiangwei.

In less than half a day, how did she detect something unusual?

Zheng Bihui and the others were curious about what Song Guanchao showed him.

Director Qin's unpleasant expression made their hearts skip a beat involuntarily.

Could there be any changes to this matter?

Song Guanchao took out a cigarette and handed one to Director Qin: "Director Qin, have a smoke."

He took the phone and stuffed the cigarette into his hand.

Director Qin looked at him as if he could eat him alive.

Song Guanchao lit up the cigarette with a bright smile, exhaled a puff slowly, and said: "Director Qin, don't let yourself be used as a tool by others."

"Shut up!" Zheng Bihui scolded: "This is not your place to speak!"

What right does a little secretary have to meddle in the affairs of the Standing Committee?

Song Guanchao squinted and said: "Mayor Zheng, what authority you have!"

"We are all people's servants serving the people. How, Mayor Zheng, are you a level above me, the secretary? Or in your eyes, Mayor Zheng, is your character more noble than mine?"

He grabbed Zhou Qian's hand, pointed the camera at himself and Zheng Bihui, and pointed to his face: "Here, Mayor Zheng, repeat what you just said. I'm going to the province tomorrow to ask if it's because the Mayor spoke that a secretary like me can't have a say?"

Zheng Bihui was almost infuriated to death, this rascal dared to frame him with such accusations.

Yet he also did not dare to speak recklessly.

Equality for all?

This nonsense, only naive students who haven't left campus would believe it.

But there are some things that even though everyone knows, they can't be said openly.

Especially not in front of media personnel.

"Why isn't Mayor Zheng speaking? Is he naturally reticent?"

"Hmph!"

Song Guanchao said: "Today, you, Mayor Zheng, relying on your position, privately instructed Director Qin to arrange police monitoring of the displaced residents, and secretly united with them to try to pull me into it."

"I want to ask, Mayor Zheng, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"In this Lingjiang, do you, Mayor Zheng, cover the sky with one hand?"

He pointed at the camera: "Everything, it's all recorded."

"If the city can't give me an explanation for this, I'll take it to the province!"

"If the province can't resolve it, I'll go to Yanjing, to the central government. I want to see if there's any place under the heavens where reasoning is upheld!"

Zheng Bihui was both shocked and angered, I only said one sentence, but you keep firing like a chain gun.

He was put in a position where he couldn't come down from the stage.

Secretary Wang watched, heart pounding, and even felt a bit sorry for Zheng Bihui.

You say, why did you have to shout at him?

Who in Lingjiang doesn't know that Secretary Song is hard to deal with?

As Mayor, you dare provoke him?

Secretary Song is famously sharp-tongued and always finds a loophole to bite you.

If things get serious, not even Secretary Lu would be able to handle it.

Besides, is it really worth it?

He's just a secretary, you as a Mayor, you'd win no matter how you count it.

"Mayor Zheng, mind your tone."

Secretary Lu criticized seriously, then said gently: "Secretary Song, you know Mayor Zheng's temper; sometimes his words are a bit inappropriate for the occasion."

Song Guanchao gave no face: "If his temper is bad, he should shut up. I'm not his father; I won't spoil him."

Zheng Bihui glared and shouted angrily: "Song Guanchao..."

"What are you shouting for?"

Song Guanchao shouted louder, the ferocity in his eyes made Zheng Bihui snap back to clarity.

He suddenly remembered, this Secretary Song in front of him had blood on his hands.

What official rules, what order of seniority, if you really pissed him off, he'd sneak into your home in the dead of night and chop you up, and you'd have no place to seek justice.

This shout startled Secretary Lu and others.

Jiang Yiren's eyes were sparkling as she looked at Song Guanchao's domineering appearance, her heart pounding restlessly.

"Director Qin!"

Song Guanchao turned his head towards Director Qin, his voice sharp as a knife: "Who exactly instructed you to arrange for the police to monitor the displaced residents here?"

Director Qin gritted his teeth, knowing he was once again damned by Song Guanchao.

He exhaled forcefully and said: "I remembered wrong, it wasn't Secretary Wu."

Although they had some suspicions when Song Guanchao took out his phone, upon hearing this, Secretary Lu and Mayor Zheng still felt a chill in their hearts.

Director Qin, he changed his tune!

"Oh? It wasn't Secretary Wu? Then who was it?"

"...I can't remember."

"Can't remember?"

Song Guanchao sneered: "Director Qin, you're not old, but your brain isn't very good. In this state, I don't think it's suitable for you to continue as director."

Wu Qiangwei interjected: "The Police Department needs someone experienced, calm-minded. Director Qin's current state is indeed not very suitable. Later, I'll apply with the province to get Director Qin transferred to another position. Director Qin, what do you think of my suggestion?"

"..." Director Qin gritted his teeth so hard they were grinding.

Damn you, Song Guanchao!

Despite his rage, Director Qin also felt a deep sense of desolation.

I'm the damn chief of the Police Department, yet a lower-level secretary left me unable to step down publicly.

And damn well threatened me!

Looking across the nation, there probably isn't another Police Chief as humiliated as me!

Damn!

"I just remembered, no one instructed me to, it was I myself thought the displaced residents might cause trouble, and I wanted to help the city relieve some pressure."

Director Qin explained through gritted teeth.

He couldn't expose Mayor Zheng.

Not out of fear, but because he couldn't.

He and Wu Qiangwei had already torn apart; one more time didn't matter.

Moreover, he still hoped Zheng Bihui would get him into the Standing Committee.

Secretary Lu took the opportunity to mediate: "Director Qin, how can you make such a big decision on your own?"

"Look, tonight's matter almost blew up!"

"If it really blew up, would it just be Secretary Wu's problem? We'd all be affected!"

After a round of criticism, Secretary Lu added: "Secretary Wu, indeed Director Qin's thinking was insufficient, but he really meant well. Also, since the Police Department is under the City Government's jurisdiction, I think it'd be better to let Mayor Zheng and Mayor Jiang handle it, don't you think?"

Wu Qiangwei acknowledged it with a nod and turned to head towards the car.

Song Guanchao, along with Zhou Qian, followed suit.

Chu Xiao'e left with a scoff, fluttering away.

Minister Zhou, having enjoyed this farce, still felt a bit unsatisfied.

Jiang Yuan didn't express any opinion and left along with the other members of the Standing Committee, leaving the space to Mayor Zheng and the others.

After they left, Zheng Bihui, his face dark, looked menacingly at Director Qin: "How did Secretary Wu know about this?"

He was somewhat suspicious that Director Qin was a traitor, a double-crosser!

Colluding with Wu Qiangwei to trap him on purpose!

Otherwise, why would Secretary Wu know about what I talked to Director Qin in the morning?

And even formulated a series of plans.
