It's not that easy to catch an undercover agent.
To test out the general range of an undercover in one go is almost impossible.
"Additionally, Chairman Tan, you must confirm that there's truly an undercover in the police."
"If there isn't, then no matter what we do, it's all in vain."
Tan Xiang nodded, picked up her bag, and stood up, saying, "I'm leaving now, we'll stay in touch by phone."
She drove to an office building, came out of the elevator, and walked into a company.
This was an influencer incubation company, mainly focused on creating internet celebrities.
Tan Xiang was the head of this company.
Of course, this was just her public identity.
In reality, she controlled part of the underground entertainment business in Jiangzhou City.
For instance, the liquor suppliers for some clubs, KTVs, and bars.
And also, the supply of drugs.
As she said, she was just pushed forward as the spokesperson on the surface.
The profits from the entertainment venues in a provincial capital city are huge, not just one or two people can handle them.
For example, the power behind Tan Xiang, don't be fooled by the fact that they control liquor supplies and drugs, they only control a part of the entertainment venues.
These venues are clearly divided, for example, if there are ten clubs on a street, three are supplied by you, three by him, and the other four are supplied by another person.
Everyone minds their own business, without interfering with each other.
If someone wants to monopolize the entire liquor supply chain of the entertainment venues, there's only one outcome, and that is to be attacked by everyone.
After Tan Xiang walked into her office, it was only a few minutes before Shen Qing pushed the door and came in.
"Chairman Tan, you were looking for me?" Shen Qing sat down.
Tan Xiang asked, "Is the informant on Lei Chengping's side still there?"
Shen Qing nodded, "Still there."
Tan Xiang said, "Get in touch, and ask if there have been any large-scale drug deals over there recently."
Shen Qing's eyes flickered, she knew Tan Xiang must have met with Song Guanchao and discussed cooperation.
This was a way to lure out the undercover hiding within the police.
However, Tan Xiang was not using herself as bait, but rather using another peer in the business as bait.
...
As Song Guanchao walked out of the restaurant, he suddenly received an unexpected call.
It was Ji Lin calling.
"What does Mr. Ji want with me?"
"District Chief Song, are you free this evening?"
Ji Lin didn't correct how he was addressed this time, instead, he laughed warmly and enthusiastically.
Song Guanchao was taken aback, this kid's attitude towards him had changed quite a bit.
Was it because Yan Han's case was solved?
Is that why he specifically wanted to invite him to dinner?
But even if the case was solved, it's unnecessary, isn't it?
"I have plans tonight."
"That's really unfortunate."
Ji Lin's regret didn't seem feigned, he genuinely felt regretful.
"District Chief Song, you haven't made plans for tomorrow yet, have you?"
Seeing his persistence in wanting to meet, Song Guanchao did not continue to refuse, "I'm available tomorrow."
"Great, then tomorrow night I'll host, I hope District Chief Song can honor me with your presence."
"Haha, Mr. Ji, your words are too much, since you're inviting, of course, I'll give face."
After exchanging a few pleasantries and hanging up, Song Guanchao still couldn't figure it out.
Actually, Ji Lin didn't have any special motives, he simply wanted to have a meal with Song Guanchao to build a connection.
The Yan Han case couldn't be broken even with a special task team, but Song Guanchao solved it upon arrival.
What does that say?
That shows he's capable!
Anyone with eyes can see that someone like Song Guanchao, at the very least, is a future bureau-level official.
Initially, he wanted his mother to invite Song Guanchao for dinner.
In his opinion, his mother could take this opportunity to turn foes into friends with Song Guanchao.
But his mother didn't take it seriously at all.
In Zhang Jie's eyes, she's the head of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission.
No matter how much potential or prospects Song Guanchao has, it's hard for him to reach her level in this life.
Why should she lower herself to flatter a junior?
Ji Lin understood his mother's thoughts and didn't try to persuade her.
Anyway, he was determined to build a good relationship with Song Guanchao.
...
When Song Guanchao returned to the dormitory, he bumped into a familiar face.
"District Chief Song."
Zhou Xin approached with an unnatural smile.
After the beating from Song Guanchao and his group, his face was still a bit swollen.
Song Guanchao seemed to forget about what happened that day, smiling gently, "Zhou Chu, haven't you gone out this afternoon?"
"Just got back."
Zhou Xin said, "I heard District Chief Song solved the case, congratulations."
"Just lucky."
"You're too modest, District Chief Song. By the way, do you have time tonight, District Chief Song? How about I host, we can get together to celebrate."
"Unfortunately, I have plans the next couple of days."
"No problem, no problem. Whenever you have time, we can meet up."
Zhou Xin was being very humble.
Now he doesn't dare to challenge Song Guanchao, nor play any tricks.
His current level of skill is really nothing in front of Song Guanchao.
After Zhou Xin left, Song Guanchao headed towards his room.
As he reached the door, suddenly he heard the sound of a door opening behind him.
He turned to look, Chen Yirou was standing at the door, looking over at him.
Their eyes met, and Song Guanchao smiled, "What are you looking at?"
Chen Yirou walked a few steps forward, looking towards the end of the corridor and seeing Zhou Xin's back.
She came over and said, "Have things been sorted out?"
"Yeah." Song Guanchao opened the door randomly and walked inside, Chen Yirou naturally followed and closed the door behind her.
It was only after Song Guanchao went inside that he realized she had followed him.
"Is there anything you need?"
"Nothing much."
Chen Yirou spoke in a casual, chatty tone, leaning lazily on the chair, crossing her left leg over her right.
She was wearing loose shorts, and when she lifted her leg, the wide opening of the shorts revealed flashes of skin.
But she didn't seem to care at all.
"Song Guanchao, what does your family do?" Chen Yirou curiously asked.
Song Guanchao opened the window and lit a cigarette as he stood by it, "They're farmers in the countryside."
"Really?" She thought Song Guanchao was teasing her.
"Could it be fake?" Song Guanchao exhaled a puff of smoke.
"You're impressive, without any power or influence, you've reached where you are today. By the way, I heard you joined the system just a year ago?"
"Yeah, it's been about a year."
Thinking back, a lot has happened over the past year.
Chen Yirou lowered her leg, turned the chair around, and spread her legs apart, placing her hands on the backrest, resting her chin on her hands, blinking her big eyes, "How old are you this year?"
"27."
"So, you were 26 when you joined the system?"
"Yeah."
"What did you do before working at the City Committee?"
"I was in the army."
"You served in the army?"
Chen Yirou's eyes lit up, "I heard people in the military are really fit."
Her tone made it hard not to think in an unhealthy direction.
Song Guanchao turned his head to look at her, and saw her gaze drop downwards towards him.
