As soon as the incident occurred, Secretary Liu knew that Zhong Te had been tricked.
He knew his prospective son-in-law's character well; he would never do such a thing.
After a moment's thought, Secretary Liu guessed that the mastermind behind it all was most likely Zhang Cheng.
That's why he asked Zhao Daming to go to the newspaper office to retrieve the film.
Judging by the time, Zhao Daming should have delivered the film half an hour ago, but it was still late.
Secretary Liu was not in a hurry. He believed that no matter how bold Zhao Daming was, he would not dare to hoard the film. At the latest, he would obediently deliver it by tomorrow morning.
He could also directly order Zhao Daming to send it over, but that wouldn't be a "game".
Zhang Cheng used this roll of film to pave Zhao Daming's path to success.
Secretary Liu appreciates this approach; only through the exchange of benefits can things last.
Promoting Zhao Daming would naturally leave his "mark" on the other person, so why not?
Two hours later.
Upon receiving the news, Zhao Daming learned that the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Party Committee highly praised his contributions to solving the 10.12 major case.
He was promoted from section chief to deputy bureau chief.
His position may also change, the specifics are yet to be determined, but it is very likely that he will be transferred to the position of deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.
Zhao Daming's mind was buzzing. He had expected a promotion, but he hadn't expected his position to change as well.
He let out a long breath, grabbed the film, and headed to the city hall.
Meanwhile, on the third floor of the People's Hospital.
Zhong Te opened his eyes amidst a splitting headache.
He looked around, shook his dizzy head, and didn't understand why he was in a hospital.
"Chief Zhong, you're awake. I'll go get the doctor right away!" The police officer standing by saw him open his eyes and had a complicated expression.
"Wait!" Zhong Te rubbed his temples. "How did I end up in the hospital?"
"Director Zhong, you...you've forgotten everything that happened before?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me why I'm in the hospital!"
The police officer hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and told the whole story.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Te felt as if struck by lightning, his whole body turning ice-cold.
He actually solicited prostitutes and was caught on the spot by Jiaxing police?
No! I've been tricked!
Zhong Te was breathing rapidly, his chest heaving violently, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He knows his own alcohol tolerance; that little bit of alcohol could never have made him that drunk.
"Where's Zhao Zhengyong? Tell him to come over right now!" Zhong Te squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.
"Chief Zhong, shall I go to the station now and call Zhao Zhengyong?"
"Go quickly!"
The police officer responded and quickly ran out of the ward.
