Secretary Wang had left, and so had Tian Xue.
Wu Yun tugged at his sleeve and asked, "Are you going to help Tian Xue?"
She had no fondness for Tian Xue at all.
Had Song Guanchao not discovered it in time, she would have been drugged and, even while being intimate with Song Guanchao, the police could have burst in and it would have been broadcasted online.
Tian Xue’s actions had almost ruined her life.
So even if she saw Tian Xue being mistreated by two old men, she felt no sympathy.
"The recording was provided by her; I have to keep my promise."
Wu Yun pouted, understanding that there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
Yet, she felt uneasy.
Song Guanchao smiled and said, "Just go through the motions; you don’t have to actually investigate."
Wu Qiangwei was already waiting for him.
"Why didn’t you let the police handle Zhang Kai?"
She thought that Song Guanchao would take Zhang Kai seriously and not let him off.
Song Guanchao said, "Making a big deal of it would not look good for Secretary Wang."
Wu Qiangwei smiled lightly. Song Guanchao handled things maturely.
She too had hoped for such an outcome, but, as it involved Song Guanchao, she couldn’t make the decision herself.
Fortunately, Song Guanchao’s decision didn’t disappoint her.
"Secretary, Yan Dahai could be our breakthrough point."
"No need to investigate further."
Wu Qiangwei shook her head: "Yan Dahai is slippery; he wouldn’t speak carelessly. Even if everyone knows it was Secretary Lu’s doing, without evidence, we can’t just suspect based on guesses and start investigating a City Secretary."
"Secretary, you misunderstand," said Song Guanchao with a sly smile. "If I really wanted to find out the truth, there are ways to make Yan Dahai talk."
"But if he doesn’t talk, it’s more advantageous for us."
Wu Qiangwei raised an eyebrow: "Don’t be coy."
Song Guanchao said, "What I mean is, whoever is behind Yan Dahai could be anyone. It could be Secretary Lu or Mayor Zheng behind him, but I think it being Mayor Zheng fits our interests better."
Wu Qiangwei’s forehead twitched, and she quickly grasped his meaning.
This guy, how crafty can he get?
Looking at his smile, Wu Qiangwei couldn’t help but blurt out, "You’re really sinister!"
Song Guanchao was momentarily stunned, then unabashedly laughed, "Secretary, are you praising me?"
Wu Qiangwei was somewhat speechless.
However, Song Guanchao’s words had opened up a new line of thinking for her.
Pin the blame on Mayor Zheng.
If Mayor Zheng knew, he’d probably be furious.
Wu Qiangwei said, "Be careful not to let anyone catch you out."
"Don’t worry, Secretary, I’m not as foolish as Yan Dahai."
In his view, Yan Dahai possessed only petty smarts but not great wisdom.
He had even personally gone to talk to Zhang Kai—what a complete idiot.
Leaving the office, Song Guanchao leaned back in his chair and sent a message to Wu Yun: "Take a photo of Zhang Kai’s routine reports and send it to me."
Wu Yun quickly sent the photos.
Without asking why, Wu Yun obediently deleted it.
Song Guanchao grabbed a pen and paper, staring at Zhang Kai’s handwriting as he began to write.
Zeng Li looked on curiously, "What are you writing?"
"A whistleblower letter."
"Ah? Who are you going to report?"
A letter was quickly finished, signed by Zhang Kai.
After finishing the letter, Song Guanchao reached out his hand, "Give me a handkerchief."
Zeng Li handed one to him, and Song Guanchao carefully wiped it, cleaning all fingerprints from the paper before stuffing it into an envelope.
He then wiped the envelope clean and held it in his handkerchief as he pocketed it.
The content of the letter was simple.
It was from Zhang Kai’s perspective, describing how he was deceived by Yan Dahai.
Most importantly, it mentioned that Yan Dahai promised him that, as long as he exposed the dirt on Song Guanchao, Mayor Zheng would find a way to transfer him to the Commerce Department.
He did not let Director Qin take Zhang Kai away for immediate case filing because Zhang Kai was still of use.
No one was more suitable than Zhang Kai to be the scapegoat!
That afternoon, Wu Yun visited the Sanshan Road office merely as a formality.
Meanwhile, Song Guanchao contacted Liang Hao, asking him to look after Tian Xue.
Wu Yun was just an ordinary staff member at the Disciplinary Committee, without much influence.
Since he had promised to look after someone, it wouldn’t be good to break his word.
But his help was limited.
Given what Tian Xue had done in the past, Song Guanchao could not have too deep a connection with her.
Having Liang Hao stand up for her to ensure she wasn’t bullied in the office was already the limit of what he could do.
Whether she could climb higher would depend on her own abilities.
The next morning at nine-thirty,
Zhang Kai was at home waiting for his colleagues from the Disciplinary Inspection Team.
According to the process, he was now temporarily suspended, not to go out unnecessarily, and must report if he did.
The Supervisory Team would check his daily workplace and home at fixed times.
His rank was low, and the issue wasn’t severe, just terribly stained.
Thus, they did not detain him under the Supervisory Committee’s custody.
Simply put, he wasn’t qualified.
Zhang Kai opened the door and greeted the supervising colleagues with a smile, recognizing them all.
But they were not jovial. They wore a stern expression of strictly doing their duty.
"Zhang Kai, we need to inspect your residence now. Here is the document. Please check if there are any issues."
"No problem," Zhang Kai led them into his room.
He lived in a two-bedroom apartment.
The supervisory group consisted of four people—one inspected the living room, one the guest room, and two the master bedroom.
Each wore an enforcement recorder.
Watching them rummaging through his room, Zhang Kai felt an indescribable desolation.
If it were not for his momentary lapse, he would still be the Disciplinary Committee officer his relatives envied.
"A whistleblower letter..."
A team member pulled open a drawer and spotted an envelope marked "whistleblower" amidst the clutter of papers.
He picked up the envelope and turned around to ask, "Zhang Kai, what is this?"
Staring at the whistleblower letter, Zhang Kai was confused, instinctively responding, "A whistleblower letter."
When did I ever write this thing?
The man immediately opened the envelope and read the contents.
After reading, the man’s expression drastically changed.
Zhang Kai, sensing something was amiss from the man’s changing expressions, asked, "What does the letter say?"
"You wrote the letter, and you’re asking me?" The man almost burst out laughing, he quickly packed up the letter, preserved it, and dialed Secretary Wang’s number.
"Secretary Wang, we found a whistleblower letter in Zhang Kai’s house related to Mayor Zheng."
"Okay, I’m aware. We’ll bring him in now."
Zhang Kai was dumbfounded. The rıghtful source is 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥
Related to Mayor Zheng?
When the hell did I write this whistleblower letter?
"Zhang Kai, come with us, please."
