Chapter 339

"Secretary Tu's backer?"

"Yes," Song Guanchao said. "Secretary, think about it: Secretary Tu wanting to kill County Magistrate Hou so badly indicates that their conflict is deep and serious."

"Given such a level of conflict, why could County Magistrate Hou still allow him to rise through the ranks?"

"I guess that Secretary Tu must have been favored by a certain leader. And this leader, there's a nine out of ten chance they're from the provincial government."

This speculation was quite reasonable.

Wu Qiangwei grabbed her phone: "I'll ask around."

Song Guanchao stood up, ready to leave the room.

"Just stay here."

"Oh." Song Guanchao felt a surge of quiet joy. Our Secretary isn't avoiding me anymore.

"Hello, Governor Hou, good to hear from you. I hope I'm not disturbing you."

Song Guanchao was startled. Our Secretary's so-called 'asking around' meant directly inquiring from the second in command of the province?

Now that's some serious clout.
