Official Career Storm-Chapter 1468: The Car Accident

The impact of the car collision was tremendous. Song Guanchao only felt his brain was muddled, his eyelids heavy, with a strong urge to fall asleep.

His internal organs seemed to have shifted under the impact, and the feeling of nausea was intense.

Song Guanchao forced himself to stay awake, his vision filled with crimson red.

He reluctantly raised his arm, touched his forehead, and his palm was covered in blood.

"Hmm~"

A weak moan sounded from the side.

Song Guanchao turned his neck and saw Wu Yun bound by the seatbelt, tied to the seat.

Blood was streaming down her forehead, her eyelashes trembled, her eyes tightly closed, and she let out a weak moan.

Song Guanchao took a deep breath, gathered his spirits, and tried to push open the car door.

The car door was deformed from the collision, and several attempts were unsuccessful.

At this moment, he saw someone running over and pounding on the car window.

"Are you all right?"

A nearby driver had come to help them.

"Call the police!"

A driver in his thirties began directing the people coming to help and trying to open the deformed car door.

Under everyone's effort, the car door was finally pried open, and Song Guanchao was rescued by them.

"How do you feel?"

"Don't worry, we've already called for police and an ambulance."

Song Guanchao wanted to speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, a taste of iron and sweetness surged up.

He knew that his internal organs should have been hurt by the impact.

He swallowed that taste of iron and weakly said, "Save her."

"Your friend has already been rescued, don't worry."

The ambulance arrived quickly, in about ten minutes or so.

The traffic police nearby also rushed over.

The truck driver who caused the accident was detained, and Song Guanchao and Wu Yun were sent to the hospital.

...

"Knock knock."

Shu Xue quickly knocked on the door, pushed open the office, and said with a grave expression, "Mayor Wu, Director Song had a car accident!"

Wu Qiangwei was startled and immediately walked over, "What happened?"

Shu Xue explained as they walked out, "Director Song was hit by a truck running a red light while crossing the intersection."

"How is he? Where is he now?"

Wu Qiangwei's fists clenched unconsciously. She appeared calm on the surface, but internally, she was already flustered.

Shu Xue said, "He's been sent to the hospital, but the specifics are still unclear."

"Prepare the car."

"Oh, okay."

...

The news of Song Guanchao's car accident spread throughout the City Government.

Everyone was very surprised when they heard about it.

"A car accident?" Zhang Yan thought of something, grabbed her phone, and called Guo Tong.

"Mr. Guo, was the car accident arranged by you?"

"Just giving him a warning."

Guo Tong spoke nonchalantly, as if it was a trivial matter.

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Be careful."

"Hmm?" Guo Tong thought he misheard, "You're telling me to be careful?"

"What, this Director Song, is he very powerful?"

He wasn't the reckless type; he had already investigated Song Guanchao's background thoroughly before taking action.

Zhang Yan said, "He might not have much power, but he's a difficult person to deal with."

Guo Tong chuckled, "I see, Mayor Zhang is worried he'll retaliate against me?"

Zhang Yan said nothing seeing his indifference.

In any case, she had done her duty by reminding him. Whatever happens afterward, it can't be blamed on her not warning him.

...

When Wen Ru found out about it, she wanted to rush to the hospital immediately but eventually restrained herself.

She calmed down and had an inkling that this car accident seemed more than just an accident.

"Knock knock."

"Come in."

Wen Ru put aside her thoughts, looking at Director Lin who entered the room.

Lin Xiang walked over with a serious expression, "Did you hear that Director Song had a car accident?"

"I've heard."

"I suspect this car accident wasn't an accident."

"I feel the same."

"I'm planning to visit the hospital. Are you coming?"

Wen Ru's heart skipped a beat. Of course she wanted to go, but she worried that people might suspect there's a special relationship between her and Song Guanchao if she showed too much concern.

Joining Lin Xiang might help avoid such suspicion.

"Let's go."

...

"The forehead got a cut, no serious injuries, rest for a few days and it'll be fine," the doctor said.

Wu Qiangwei breathed a sigh of relief, and after the doctor left, she entered the ward.

Song Guanchao lay on the bed, his forehead wrapped in gauze, his blood-stained clothes had also been replaced by hospital gowns.

Wu Yun was lying on the bed next to him. The two were chatting, and their condition seemed indeed not too severe.

Upon hearing footsteps, Song Guanchao saw the figures of Wu Qiangwei, Wu Ming, and Shu Xue.

He sat up from the bed, "Mayor, I'm fine."

Wu Qiangwei frowned, "Why were you so careless while driving?"

Song Guanchao said helplessly, "Wu Yun was driving, and she adheres to traffic rules strictly; it was the other party that ran the red light."

Wu Qiangwei's face turned slightly red, and she glared at him.

Just then, others entered from outside, it was Lin Xiang and Wen Ru.

Seeing Wu Qiangwei, they were a bit surprised, yet it seemed understandable.

Song Guanchao and Wu Qiangwei once had a superior-subordinate relationship; it was only natural for Wu Qiangwei to be here after his car accident.

"Mayor Wu."

Both sides exchanged greetings, and after a few words with Song Guanchao, Wu Qiangwei left.

Lin Xiang exchanged a few pleasantries and said, "Director Song, just before the accident, you came out from the City Bureau?"

Song Guanchao shook his head, "I went to meet Qiu Zhen Ting and had the accident on my way back to the City Government."

Lin Xiang nodded, hesitated, and said, "I think this doesn't seem like an accident."

"I also think it isn't."

"Oh?"

Lin Xiang was surprised, "Director Song, do you have any suspects?"

"Guo Tong."

From the moment the accident happened, Song Guanchao knew it was no accident.

He didn't tell Wu Qiangwei because he didn't want her to worry.

He could handle this matter himself.

But since Lin Xiang and Wen Ru also had suspicions, there was no need to hide it from them.

Lin Xiang nodded and asked, "Should we bring him in for questioning?"

"No need."

Song Guanchao narrowed his eyes, "He's very clean in his actions. Even if we bring him in, we won't find any evidence. There's no need to waste time."

"This matter, there's no need for Director Lin to get involved, I'll handle it myself."

"Alright, Director Song, if you need anything, just give me a call."

"Okay."

"Director Song, take care and rest well. We'll be heading back."

Wen Ru wanted to stay a while longer but didn't have an excuse.

Moreover, besides Song Guanchao, Wu Yun was also in the ward. Even if she wanted to say something, it wouldn't be convenient.

Song Guanchao noticed her gaze, winked at her, and gestured to the phone, indicating to chat via phone.

After they left, Wu Yun asked, "Wasn't this an accident?"

"How could it be such a coincidence?" Song Guanchao sneered.

Wu Yun was a bit scared, "Fortunately, you hit the steering wheel just in time."

Song Guanchao said, "Even if I didn't, it wouldn't have been too serious, Guo Tong didn't aim to kill me."

If Guo Tong truly intended to kill, the truck wouldn't have been traveling at such a slow speed then.

This guy was merely using this method to warn him.

But clearly, he didn't understand Song Guanchao well enough.

Such tactics might intimidate others, making them retreat, but for Song Guanchao, it only had the opposite effect.

Guo Tong had chosen the wrong adversary this time.

It wasn't just about targeting him. He dared to touch even the people around him.

Song Guanchao touched the wound on his forehead, and then glanced at Wu Yun on the adjacent hospital bed, his eyes fierce.
