This name made Chen Songbai feel very familiar.

He frowned, pondering deeply, but couldn't recall for the moment.

After Song Guanchao got off the car, he stood by the roadside, about to call Wu Qiangwei, when a car drove up.

It was Wu Qiangwei, who had been following all along.

"Get in the car."

Song Guanchao opened the passenger seat door and sat inside.

Wu Qiangwei asked, "How are you at Fengmen Building?"

"I rented an apartment there."

Song Guanchao gave a brief explanation, then shared all he knew with her in detail.

Wu Qiangwei frowned and said, "Governor Li and Director Zhang's son were also caught?"

How could this issue involve these two people?

Suppressing her doubts, Wu Qiangwei said, "Don't tell anyone about tonight's events."

"Don't let others know you were at the scene tonight."

"The impact of this incident is uncertain for now. Once it affects Lingjiang, the provincial leaders will hold a grudge against you."

Song Guanchao frowned, "Why would they hold a grudge against me?"

"What do you think?" Wu Qiangwei responded with a question, "Such a big event happens, and you happen to be on the scene. Do you think they might think it was your setup?"

Song Guanchao opened his mouth but had nothing to say.

Indeed, if people knew he was there, they might think along these lines.

Even if he claimed it had nothing to do with him, someone had to believe it.

They followed the military vehicle to the Military District Hospital.

Chen Songbai and the guard, Xiao He, were sent to the hospital.

Their injuries were not severe and were only superficial wounds, which could be simply treated and bandaged.

But now it's not about whether the injuries are severe.

The top officer of a military district was assaulted and even bled!

This nature of the incident makes it serious.

Outside the hospital, several city committee members gathered in the parking lot, surrounding Commander Ma, asking questions in a chaotic manner.

"Commander Ma, what exactly happened tonight?"

"Why did these two heads suddenly come to Lingjiang?"

"What's the condition of the heads? Has it been thoroughly investigated who did it?"

Commander Ma looked very serious, "The head's guard had his gun snatched! The person who took the pistol also made the head bleed out from the head. Tell me, is it serious or not?"

Mayor Jiang felt a sinking feeling, "Commander Ma, who did this?"

Facing this question, Commander Ma was silent for two seconds, looking at Zheng Bihui and Mayor Jiang.

Their hearts were uneasy under his gaze.

Commander Ma said, "Among those caught, seven were wearing police uniforms, and one, if I'm not mistaken, is Director Yan from the Lingbei Branch."

Both of their faces twitched violently.

Damn!

Turns out they were internal personnel!

And police no less!

Zheng Bihui already suspected it might be related to demolition.

But he couldn't connect the demolition with these two heads.

He lacked necessary information.

Moreover, Director Yan was under the control of the Military District, so they couldn't see him, and couldn't find out even if they wanted to.

About twenty minutes later, the two heads came out of the hospital.

They could only watch from afar as the soldiers of the Military District, fully armed, escorted and prevented them from getting close.

"You all should leave first, if there's anything, discuss it tomorrow, don't disturb the heads' rest."

Commander Ma said this and left by car.

After they left, Zheng Bihui asked, "Secretary Qu, what now?"

Qu Xiangru said, "Let's go to the Military District first, we must understand the course of events tonight."

They got into the car again, following the military vehicle to the Military District.

The truth of the matter was known to Song Guanchao and Wu Qiangwei, but it couldn't be spoken from their mouths.

Arriving at the Military District, it was close to midnight.

The soldiers went back to rest, the two heads were settled down, and Zhong Aimin temporarily stayed there too.

Qu Xiangru and others sat in an office in the Military District waiting.

During this time, calls from Secretary Gao and Governor Hou came in succession, asking for updates.

Upon learning that the two heads were safely received by the Military District, they relaxed their nerves.

Meanwhile, Li Qingtang and others were taken into a dormitory under renovation, each locked in a single room, guarded outside by soldiers with guns.

Li Qingtang's face was bruised and his facial blood had scabbed over. His mind was completely clear now, realizing he had offended people he couldn't afford to offend.

He, a second-generation official, had never encountered such a situation, and was extremely anxious inside at this moment.

He didn't know how much time had passed, when footsteps sounded outside, followed by the sound of the dormitory door being opened.

He looked up, and the visitor turned on the dormitory lights, walked in, and sat on the bunk opposite him, with two soldiers, one on the left and one on the right.

The visitor placed the notebook on his lap, unscrewed the pen cap, and asked, "Name."

"Buddy, my dad is..."

"Smack!"

The soldier on the left went straight up with a slap, hitting Li Qingtang's head buzzing, and straight out seeing stars.

Li Qingtang took quite a while to climb up from the ground, just about to get angry when the man opposite said, "I ask, you answer. Don't speak irrelevant things."

"Name."

Li Qingtang suppressed his anger and said, "Li Qingtang."

A few minutes later, the man finished the interrogation record, stopped at the door, and said, "Take good care."

Li Qingtang hadn't understood what this care meant.

But when he saw the two soldiers shut the door and walk towards him, he understood suddenly.

As he retreated, he raised his hand, "Brothers, let's talk properly. My dad is..."

"Bang!"

A soldier kicked him in the belly, forcefully kicking him off the ground, and his back slammed into the wall.

One soldier stepped forward to hold him up, while the other delivered punches to his belly as if hitting a sandbag.

Soon, Li Qingtang was battered, vomiting stomach acid, curled up on the ground, barely conscious.

The same scene was happening in other rooms at this time.

Two thirty in the morning.

Secretary Gao and Governor Hou from Nanjiang Province arrived at the Military District.

"Secretary Gao, Governor Hou."

Commander Ma smiled wryly, these two big shots had also come.

Secretary Gao asked, "What is the condition of the two heads?"

Commander Ma replied, "General Pei's face has an abrasion, Commander Chen's head was bruised, but neither is serious."

Secretary Gao asked, "What exactly happened, has it been thoroughly investigated?"

"It's been cleared up."

The statements were placed before him promptly, detailing the night's events vividly through text.

Commander Ma originally planned to report to Qu Xiangru and the others when Secretary Gao and Governor Hou arrived.

Hence, he handed over the statements to them.

After reading, they understood.

It was an unexpected mistake.

But not completely off-mark.

Because the original intent of the opposition was to teach a lesson to the demolition resident named Zhong Aimin.

But they didn't expect the two heads to be present.

Commander Ma said, "Secretary Gao, there's one more thing."

"Go ahead."

Commander Ma pointed at two names on the statement, "This Ji Lin and Li Qingtang, their identities are somewhat unusual."

"What identities?"

"Ji Lin's mother is Director Zhang of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission."

"Li Qingtang's father is Deputy Governor Li Zhen Ting."
