"Bang!"
Zhang Kai slammed the table. "Song Guanchao, what kind of attitude is that? Who are you calling a dumbass?"
Wu Yun also frowned and said, "Song Guanchao, please cooperate with our work!"
Song Guanchao gently tapped the table with his fingers and asked, "Both of you, am I being detained under double regulations now?"
"Double regulations?" Zhang Kai sneered. "You, just a driver, also worthy of being detained under double regulations?"
Song Guanchao glanced at him, this kid was quite arrogant.
"So if it's not double regulations, it's just cooperating with an investigation, right?"
Song Guanchao took out a cigarette and just as he was pulling out his lighter, Zhang Kai snatched it away. "Who said you could smoke?"
"Heh," Song Guanchao chuckled without getting angry.
This Zhang Kai, definitely the type to flaunt his authority.
Song Guanchao said, "First of all, I'm here to cooperate with the investigation. During this time, if I'm hungry, you have to provide food; if I'm thirsty, you have to provide drink; and if I want to smoke, you have no right to deny me."
Zhang Kai gave a cold laugh. "So oblivious even at death's door! Song Guanchao, you don't think that we are unaware of what you've done, do you?"
Song Guanchao, with a cigarette in his mouth, said, "Lighter."
Zhang Kai huffed. "Fine, if you want to drag this out, then we'll take it slow. I've seen plenty of stubborn guys like you."
Wu Yun frowned, grabbed the lighter, and tossed it over.
Song Guanchao smiled, lit his cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "Miss Wu, ask whatever you want. But let me remind you, stick to the facts and don't try to trap me!"
"I recorded a call I made to the Disciplinary Committee; don't think you can pin baseless charges on me."
"Baseless?" Zhang Kai sneered again. "Still stubborn at the brink of death! Do you think we would have brought you here if we didn't have any evidence?"
Wu Yun asked, "Song Guanchao, we received reports from the public that under the name of Vice Mayor Li Fuhai, you accepted money from others promising to arrange positions for them. Is this true?"
Song Guanchao shook his head. "It is not true."
Wu Yun asked, "Then how do you explain the cash found in your house?"
"What, do you not understand what I'm saying?"
Song Guanchao said, "I found extra money at home and called the Disciplinary Committee. Such a simple sentence, which word did you not understand?"
Zhang Kai said, "Song Guanchao, don't take us for fools! You think just by contacting us voluntarily, you can clear your suspicions?"
"More than a million, who would stuff it under your bed?"
"Maybe it was Santa Claus."
"Song Guanchao!" Wu Yun snapped. "Be honest!"
She took a deep breath and said, "You might not understand the current situation, let me briefly explain."
"Go ahead."
"Yesterday morning, Chen Dazhi was restrained by the police, and he has already confessed everything."
"Chen Dazhi was responsible for finding buyers willing to pay for official positions, and you used Li Fuhai's name to facilitate and arrange these positions for buyers."
Chen Dazhi?
Must be the middleman.
Song Guanchao looked at her as if she was a fool. "Miss Wu, I've only been Li Fuhai's driver for half a month; do you really think I have that kind of capability?"
Zhang Kai said, "Only been a driver for half a month and you're already this bold, honestly, I'm quite impressed."
Wu Yun said evenly, "Vice Mayor Li's secretary Zhang Ming has already confessed that you had approached him, inviting him to join and offering him a bribe of one hundred thousand."
"Song Guanchao, I advise you not to hold any illusions; just confess everything honestly."
Zhang Ming has already sold me out?
Well, I'm just a mere driver.
He tipped us off, treating a dead horse as if it were alive, without much hope.
If Song Guanchao were him, he would have sold himself out without hesitation.
But understanding is one thing.
"Since Zhang Ming had betrayed himself, he shouldn't blame himself for being unjust."
Song Guanchao put out his cigarette and said, "Bring me a glass of milk."
Just as Zhang Kai was about to scold him, Wu Yun dialed a number: "Send a box of milk."
Not long after, the milk arrived.
Song Guanchao drank it in one go and stood up, saying, "I'm tired, let's talk about this tomorrow."
"Wu Yun was annoyed," Song Guanchao! If you don't confess today, you won't be sleeping!"
Song Guanchao chuckled, "I'm cooperating with the investigation, not under 'double regulation'. Also, treat me with a little more respect, and don't look at me through a biased lens."
"All I can say is, I was framed."
Zhang Kai sneered, "Framed? You, a mere driver, who would frame you? Do you even deserve it?"
"A driver who has been on the job for half a month, bored to the point of bribing the Vice Mayor's secretary with a hundred thousand?"
"What am I after?"
Song Guanchao pointed to his head: "I'm a member of the Disciplinary Committee, after all. Use your brain more often. Even a three-year-old could see what's obvious, there's no reason you can't."
When Wu Yun took over this case, she sensed something was off: a mere driver, daring unusually high.
But, the human and material evidence was right before her eyes.
One could only say, this driver was incredibly bold.
"Song Guanchao, the evidence is solid. I advise you not to stubbornly resist."
"If the evidence really is solid, then you should have handed me over to the public security authorities, instead of dragging this out with me here."
Song Guanchao lay down on the bed and said, "I'm sleepy; I'm going to sleep."
Wu Yun stood up and, looking at the unconcerned Song Guanchao, said, "The human and material evidence is complete; you can't overturn this case."
"Since you wish to be handed over to the judicial authorities, so be it."
Wu Yun grabbed a pen and paper and left the room.
Zhang Kai snorted and laughed, then followed her out.
Not long after, Wu Yun entered alone, her tone icy: "Come with me."
"Where to?"
"To the police station."
Song Guanchao sat up on the bed, his smile gone: "Miss Wu, are you sure you want to send me to the police station?"
"Anything involving discipline, the Disciplinary and Supervision Committee handles; anything involving the law, the public security handles. Your actions have broken the law, and with complete human and material evidence, the matter will now be handed over to the public security."
Song Guanchao didn't argue with her, as it wasn't necessary.
He was confident in his position; it was just a matter of time.
Still, he was destined not to sleep well tonight.
Following Wu Yun out of the room, they went downstairs and took a car.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the nearby police station.
Wu Yun and a young female officer made a brief handover. Before leaving, she approached Song Guanchao and said, "Song Guanchao, I advise you not to resist stubbornly. You're young. Cooperate actively and explain things to seek a lighter punishment."
The woman was actually very beautiful, with distinct features and lively eyes, standing out prominently.
Dressed in a suit and a black pencil skirt, her shoulders were delicate, her back slender and fragile as if a gust of wind could knock her over.
Yet, the buttocks beneath her pencil skirt were plump and elastic.
Her chest was also quite impressive.
Such an outstandingly beautiful woman in the bureaucratic field was very dangerous.
Without some background, there were only two outcomes.
Either become a golden canary in a high official's cage or never get promoted throughout her life.
Considering Wu Yun entered the municipal disciplinary department at such a young age, her family background was probably extraordinary.
Song Guanchao couldn't help but think.
Wu Yun, feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, frowned and said, "What are you looking at?"
