The next day, Song Guanchao didn't go to the City Committee.

He stayed at Wu Qiangwei's house, guarding the computer and continuously refreshing the company account.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The loan has arrived!

Five billion!

Seeing the funds in the account, Song Guanchao immediately began to operate, transferring the funds to an overseas account.

After the transfer, Song Guanchao closed the computer and left the house.

He first returned home, hid the computer, and then went to the City Committee.

Entering the office, when the two made eye contact, there was a bit of awkwardness, and they instinctively looked away.

"Secretary, I've transferred the loan."

"I know, go about your business."

Next, all they had to do was wait.

Wait for Zheng Bihui to realize Chu Yue's disappearance and that the loan had been transferred!

Song Guanchao was already quite impatient!

...

City Government.

Jiang Yuan sat in his office, thoroughly reviewing the files in his hand.

This document wasn't any government work report, but information related to the District Chief Zhang Yulin of Zhujiang District.

Secretary Tian wanted him to find a way to cause some trouble for Qu Xiangru.

These days he had been planning.

This Zhang Yulin was the trouble he was preparing to throw at Qu Xiangru.

Being a local in Lingjiang, he was quite familiar with some of its affairs.

For instance, he knew Zhang Yulin was Secretary Zhang Xiaoxian's cousin.

Moreover, he knew that Zhang Yulin and Qin Yuejin privately acted as protectors for a loan company.

Such issues, whether major or minor, mainly depended on whether they were exposed.

And now, Jiang Yuan intended to expose this matter.

However, Zhang Yulin was just a district chief; even if exposed and dealt with, the impact wouldn't be too significant.

But if he could also drag Qin Yuejin, the Public Security Bureau Chief, into it, the impact would be substantial!

Yet how to pull Qin Yuejin into the water was a technical task.

After all, every leader knows, some cases can't be uprooted.

As the Executive Deputy Governor, wouldn't Qu Xiangru understand this?

So, even if she knew that Zhang Yulin and Qin Yuejin were colluding, for the sake of stability and unity, she wouldn't trouble Qin Yuejin.

But with Jiang Yuan pushing from behind, whether Qu Xiangru was willing to stop or not, this matter was destined to escalate!

He had to escalate the matter!

Only by escalating it could he affect her, and possibly disrupt her plans of becoming the Governor!

He put down the document and called in Secretary Fang Wei.

Then he took out two envelopes.

"Send these two complaint letters to the Disciplinary Committee and the City Committee."

"Remember, keep it discreet."

Fang Wei had been Jiang Yuan's secretary for nearly ten years and was his confidant.

He didn't hide these matters from Fang Wei.

Fang Wei knew what Jiang Yuan intended to do; he took the envelopes and said, "Understood."

After Fang Wei left, Jiang Yuan lit a cigarette, appearing calm.

"This time, if Secretary Tian manages to become Governor, I would have done a remarkable job."

He felt a slight thrill in his heart.

He thought he was quite fortunate these days.

On one hand, he had made significant contributions for Secretary Tian in his march towards the governorship.

On the other, he collaborated with Zheng Bihui to build the new Lingjiang CBD center.

The former strengthened his network in the province solidly.

The latter contributed an indelible mark to Lingjiang's development!

Moreover, the construction of the Tongchi District CBD center coincidentally clashed with the impending crisis facing Qu Xiangru.

By then, the leaders of the Central Organization Department would see that, as the Executive Deputy Governor and City Secretary, Qu Xiangru was outperformed by a local Deputy Mayor.

This comparison would only further highlight Qu Xiangru's incompetence.

The position of Nanjiang Province Governor was destined to be beyond her reach!

...

Work was over.

Lingjiang was calm, and Chu Yue's disappearance hadn't caught anyone's attention.

The next day, Friday.

Jiang Yiren brewed tea for Qu Xiangru, and when she came out, she noticed a new envelope on the desk.

She picked it up, and on the envelope were the three characters "Complaint Letter".

She found it a bit strange.

Complaint letters should be sent to the Disciplinary Committee; why was it sent here?

Moreover, who sent it?

After thinking for two seconds, Jiang Yiren re-entered the office: "Secretary, there's a complaint letter."

"Who sent it?"

"I don't know," Jiang Yiren said. "When I saw it, it was already on the desk."

Qu Xiangru took out the envelope and unfolded it.

After reading its content, Qu Xiangru showed no change in expression.

She folded the letter and put it back: "Send the complaint letter to the Disciplinary Committee."

"Okay."

As Jiang Yiren was about to turn away, her phone suddenly rang.

Qu Xiangru picked up the phone; it was Secretary Wang from the Disciplinary Committee calling.

With a slight thought, she stopped Jiang Yiren: "No need to send it."

Jiang Yiren suppressed her curiosity, uttered an "Oh", placed the envelope down, and left the office.

After she left, Qu Xiangru answered the call: "Secretary Wang, what's the matter?"

"Secretary Qu, are you in the office?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll come over now to report on work."

"Alright."

Qu Xiangru didn't ask what work he was going to report on.

Because she had already guessed.

She had just received an anonymous complaint letter, and Secretary Wang from the Disciplinary Committee called shortly afterward.

It seemed Secretary Wang had received the same complaint letter.

The letter's content was that the District Chief of Zhujiang, Zhang Yulin, had financial interests with an online loan company, providing them protection and secretly accepting benefits.

Officials having economic issues is quite common.

But this complaint letter shouldn't have been sent here.

There were so many complaint departments, why send it here?

Normally, only when there's no door to file a complaint do people bypass and report directly.

But Qu Xiangru felt that the other party probably wasn't out of options.

After all, not everyone can just walk into the City Committee's door.

Not to mention, this complaint appeared directly on Jiang Yiren's desk.

The fact that someone could place the complaint here indicates that their identity isn't ordinary.

It felt more like someone was trying to use Qu Xiangru to handle this District Chief Zhang.

"Who could it be?"

Holding the teacup, Qu Xiangru was a bit curious about who sent this complaint letter.

Secretary Wang arrived quickly, holding another complaint letter in his hand.

After putting down the tea, Jiang Yiren left.

Secretary Wang said, "Secretary Qu, I received a complaint letter this morning."

Qu Xiangru didn't speak, placing the complaint letter in front of him.

Secretary Wang glanced down, finding that it was also a complaint letter.

He opened it, and after reading it, showed a thoughtful expression.

Qu Xiangru had also received a complaint letter!

He immediately realized that the purpose wasn't simply to complain.

It seemed like using a borrowed knife to kill someone!

Secretary Wang remained silent, avoiding speaking hastily.

Qu Xiangru asked, "Whose person is District Chief Zhang?"

After some thought, Secretary Wang replied, "He's the cousin of the City Government Office's Secretary Zhang."

Qu Xiangru said, "Go to the City Government and hand the complaint to Mayor Zheng."

"Understood." Secretary Wang inwardly sighed in relief.

He had truly feared that Qu Xiangru might have asked him to investigate directly.

Fortunately, Secretary Qu still understood the unspoken rules.

Being Zhang Xiaoxian's cousin, any investigation on Zhang Yulin would require notifying the City Government first.

The best approach would be to let the City Government handle this dilemma.

Though the complaint was sent to the City Committee, if the City Committee intervenes directly, the relationship between the City Committee and City Government would surely be affected.

After he left, Qu Xiangru called Jiang Yiren back in: "Please invite Secretary Wu over."
