Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Song Chenfeng nodded, "Secretary Man Jiang called me just now and briefly explained the situation."

Tang Shi got straight to the point, "Dad, I've asked the office to prepare the car. We're leaving for Tianzhou right away. The driver will be here in 10 minutes. I've already packed my things, and we'll leave as soon as the car arrives."

As the main leader of the Public Security Department of Handong Province, Tang Shi's tone was filled with suppressed urgency.

Song Chenfeng asked, "Go down there in person?"

Tang Shi nodded, "That's right, go down there yourself!"

"I don't trust the people in the Tianzhou police force. If Xiaodong is really in trouble, this matter is definitely not that simple."

"Before, Xiao Ci didn't let me interfere openly in Tianzhou's affairs. I just thought she cared about Xiaodong, so I let her make arrangements."

"But now, the situation in Tianzhou cannot be delayed."

"If I don't show up, God knows what crazy things these people will do!"

"No matter who is behind today's incident, if they dare to touch our Song family's son-in-law, I will make them pay the price!"

Song Chenfeng asked: "What are you going to do?"

Tang Shi said quickly, "I've mobilized the Criminal Technology Corps and the Special Police Detachment. Two buses are ready to go."

"After arriving at the scene, take over the case handling authority first."

"No matter whether this criminal can be caught tonight or not, I must keep these cases in my hands!"

Song Chenfeng looked at the anxiety in his daughter's eyes and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips.

The father, whose nerves had been crushed by the phone call, now had a steady look in his eyes. His voice was low but carried an undeniable weight: "Yes, for two reasons."

"First, confirm Xiao Ci's safety. Have the SWAT team set up perimeter surveillance. Don't rush in. If the criminals get desperate, we can't afford to take that risk."

"Second, you have to accept the case handling authority, but you can't force it. Man Jiang is the secretary of the Tianzhou Municipal Party Committee, so you have to give him face."

"Furthermore, the Tianzhou police force is only assisting in this case; the main authority to handle the case lies with the National Security Bureau."

"We are still unclear about the exact role played by the National Security Bureau in tonight's case."

"You can intervene under the pretext of 'assisting in the supervision of foreign-related cases.' This is both legitimate and avoids conflict with both parties."

Tang Shi slowly stood up, her eyes slightly warm: "Dad, don't worry, I won't let Xiao Ci and Xiao Dong suffer in vain."

"Xiao Cifu is very lucky and I believe in her judgment. Li Dong will definitely not get into trouble easily!"

As he was speaking, a horn sounded outside and the driver who came to pick someone up had already arrived at the door.

Tang Shi arranged everything and hurried downstairs.

The sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor was particularly rapid, and soon, the sound of a door closing was heard downstairs.

When Song Chenfeng walked to the window, he just saw the taillights disappear into the night!

Song Chenfeng's gaze fell towards Tianzhou, and he murmured, "Li Dong, Xiao Ci..."

The next moment, the ringing of the phone interrupted the atmosphere.

Seeing the caller ID, Song Chenfeng frowned slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally pressed the answer button.

It was Li Ying who called, and she barked at him, "Song Chenfeng, you've found a great son-in-law!"

Song Chenfeng knew that Li Ying must have heard the news.

The purpose of the call was definitely to call for vengeance.

After all, Li Ying has always strongly opposed this marriage.

Now that her daughter is in trouble, she probably won't give up easily!

As expected, the voice on the other end of the phone was like a ray of ice, piercing Song Chenfeng's ears sharply!

Song Chenfeng asked: "If you called to argue with me, then I don't have time to argue with you now."

Li Ying's anger almost burned through the receiver, "Song Chenfeng, don't try this on me!"

"I've told you long ago that Li Dong is not a qualified son-in-law, and he's definitely not a good match for Xiao Ci."

"Police jobs are dangerous, they're always on the edge of life and death. How can he give Xiao Ci happiness?"

"Besides, he comes from the bottom of society. If Xiao Ci wants to help him rise to the top, he will definitely do his best!"

"This marriage was a mistake from the beginning, and Xiao Ci will have to pay for it with her whole life!"

"I've already explained the pros and cons to you. I hope you can stand on my side and help me persuade Xiao Ci."

"But what about you?"

"They said Li Dong was outstanding and excellent, and they also said the Song family didn't consider family background when choosing a son-in-law!"

"If you really didn't care about family background, why did you marry me in the first place?"

"You're willing to be Lijia's son-in-law, isn't it because you're attracted by our Lijia's influence in Handong?"

"You, Song Chenfeng, are just seeking fame and reputation!"

"Also, if Li Dong is really as outstanding and excellent as you say, how could he possibly drag Xiao Ci into this vortex?"

"Because of your arrogance, you ruined your eldest daughter."

"Tang Shi is not my child, but Xiao Ci is my flesh and blood, born after ten months of pregnancy."

"It's fine that you've tricked Tang Shi, but are you planning to send my Xiao Ci to hell as well?"

"Song Chenfeng, I'm telling you, you'd better burn incense and chant Buddhist scriptures at home, praying that Xiao Ci is safe and sound. If Xiao Ci loses a single hair tonight, I will fight you to the death!"

Song Chenfeng said with a dark face: "You are totally clueless!"

"Xiao Ci chose to be a police officer on her own, and I didn't help her in any way as a reporter."

"She is an adult and no matter which path she chooses, she is capable of taking responsibility for her own choices!"

"Since she's a police officer, she has no right to retreat when faced with danger. This is her mission and responsibility!"

"Just because she's our daughter, does that mean she's more precious than others?"

Li Ying didn't listen at all, "Stop giving me those big truths!"

"I don't care if someone else's daughter wants to die."

"That's because they come from the lower classes. If they don't fight for their lives, they won't have a chance to rise to the top!"

"But my daughter, you don't have to go down that path!"

"Our ancestors who left home have already fought hard, why should she go back?"

"If you had listened to me and let Xiao Ci break up with Li Dong, you wouldn't have gotten into this deadly trouble."

Song Chenfeng reminded her, "Li Ying, don't think you're the only one worried about your daughter's safety. I'm worried too!"

"If you want to go crazy, go somewhere else!"

"I won't tolerate you being so presumptuous here!"

Li Ying was not afraid of the threat at all, "Haha, Secretary Song, you have such great authority."

"If you can't even protect your own daughter, why are you going to be the Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission?"

"Do you know why I divorced you? It's because your sanctimonious appearance makes me sick!"

"Ask yourself, have you climbed up the ladder by stepping on the steps we took away from home? If you didn't have the resources you had away from home, would you be able to get to where you are today?"

"But what did you do when you left home and something happened?"

"Everyone who left home has met with a bad end, but you, the son-in-law who left home, have a prosperous career!"

"I even suspect that you were the one who wrote the anonymous letter of complaint to the provincial government!"
