Volume 1 Entertainment Circle Chapter 40 Wrong Call

  After finishing the call with Old Master Tan, Tan Jieyan took out his own phone and dialed Guan Yao's encrypted mobile number. His expression was cold and stern, "It's me, Guan Yao. Investigate the case of the Liu family as soon as possible. If there are any problems or pressures, push them all onto me."

  "I know, it seems like they've already made their move on you. He's closely related to the Liu family, and if one of them rises, the other will too. If one falls, the other will fall as well. Ji Yan, this time we'll work together to take down Wang, and who knows, maybe next year you'll be promoted to full city leader." Guan Yao liked criminal investigations, but at heart he was also a shrewd person.

  This political infighting, he wasn't oblivious to it, but rather too lazy to deal with it. He preferred criminal investigations instead. This was also why Old Man Guan had been so furious back then that he could have strangled this eldest grandson to death. If Guan Yao were stupid, the Guan family would have given up on him already. But the thing was, Guan Yao wasn't any less capable than Tan Jieyan, yet they had taken two completely different paths in life.

  Now Guan Yao is just the director of the criminal investigation department, but Tan Jieyan is the vice mayor of Beijing, and maybe one day he will be the mayor of Beijing. The level is not different by a little bit.

  "Next year's election, I'm not going to participate. A big tree attracts wind, and these past few years I've risen too quickly. For now, let's just leave it like this... The Liu family case..." After hesitating for a moment, Tan Jieyan spoke again, "Don't drag Tong Jiang into this."

  "Alright, I understand. The Liu family should know that Tong Jiao just happened to meet me at the previous banquet by coincidence. You're busy, I have my own measure." Guan Yao hung up the phone, but unfortunately, the Liu case is still at a loss for now!

  Guan Yao lit a cigarette with some frustration. The Liu family's power was too great, so all the original clues were wiped out. Earlier, according to Tong Jiao's clue, those thugs were caught again, and Li Guo identified them as the ones who robbed and stabbed him at the train station. The murder weapon was indeed that Swiss army knife.

  But the clue broke off here, these people just received a text message on their mobile phone, and the money was cash placed in their residence. Although they knew it was all a trap, Guan Yao couldn't figure out who wanted to lure himself in. If it was the enemy of the Liu family or Cheng Tian Nan, this businessman, why were there so few clues?

  But most importantly, even after tracking for so long, Liu Kang's old lover still had no clues, Guan Yao was the first to handle a case that was so muddled, but it was indeed not his fault, after all, except for knowing Li Lanzhi's disappearance and death, Liu Kang's involvement in it, there were no clues to be found.

  ！

  Today is Tong Jiang's interview, and for the past two days, Tong Jiang has thoroughly cleaned the house and then frantically reviewed all the necessary knowledge, exhausting herself to the extreme. Perhaps it was also because she was too tired that she didn't have time to think about anything else.

  The phone rang, breaking the silence in the apartment. Tong Jing answered it, "Qian Ge."

  "Tong Jiang, what's going on? The audition is about to start soon, how can you be so late and make the whole crew wait for you?!" Standing in the corner, Qian Li glanced at Wu Minru who was getting ready for the screen test with the makeup artist, that hint of guilt disappeared in Wu Minru's smile, coldly scolding, "The audition is at 11:30, there are still 40 minutes left, you'd better hurry up!"

  The phone was hung up with a beep, Tong Jiao frowned and looked at the wall clock, there were still 40 minutes left, but the notice she received earlier said that the audition would be at 2 pm. The only possibility was that the audition time had been changed, no one informed her, no, her agent just notified her half an hour before the audition.

  Tong Ying's mind inexplicably recalled the ruthless and sharp-tongued scolding of Cheng Han, as a director, Cheng Han had excellent eloquence, but when his opening was used to scold people, and with his uniquely loud voice, Tong Ying subconsciously touched her own ears, finally realizing the severity of the situation.

  Tong Jing has always been a gentle and reserved person, but at this moment, she quickly opened the closet, found her coat and changed into it. In less than ten minutes, she had tidied herself up and rushed downstairs like the wind. She still had half an hour to spare before heading to the film set.

  Eleven o'clock? Just stepping out of the elevator, Tong Jiang suddenly stopped in his tracks and couldn't help but curse a three-character classic. At noon at eleven o'clock, it was exactly rush hour, which meant that there would be traffic congestion, so he wouldn't be able to arrive at the film crew by eleven thirty under congested conditions!

  Can people's hearts be dark to this extent? Tong Jing gripped the cold car key in her hand, rushing out so hastily that she forgot to wear gloves, and her hands felt a bit chilly.

  Tong Ying initially thought that Qian Li, even if he didn't want to see her, would at least not be so ruthless, so she left herself 40 minutes. But it wasn't until now that Tong Ying realized that the peak hour of lunch break and school dismissal was supposed to be congested, and it would be strange if there wasn't a traffic jam.

  "Little Tong, Cheng Da Hu Zi is notorious for his sharp tongue in the circle, commonly known as - poisonous tongue machine gun. So Little Tong, you must be careful." In her mind, Tong Jiao recalled Mu Fang's mischievous and charming face when he mentioned Cheng Han, and couldn't help but shudder all over again, touching her poor little ears that were about to be scolded, it was really embarrassing to be scolded in front of the whole crew.

  What's more important is that Tong Jiang has been working very hard these past few days. Although Tong Jiang doesn't actually care about whether or not she can act in Cheng Han's movie, and Tan Jieyan's monthly living expenses are already enough, Tong Jiang is unwilling to lose this opportunity for a screen test because of some despicable little tricks, which isn't her style.

  She pulled out her phone, glanced at the address book with a childlike gaze, and was about to dial Mu Fang's number for help. However, she didn't notice that there was a car coming from behind, and as she dodged, her fingers pressed the wrong key.

  The phone rang when Tan Jieyan was in a meeting, his face somewhat gloomy. The entire conference room, the leaders of the Railway Department, big and small, all lowered their heads. Although the Tan Jieyan in front of them was only a 28-year-old young man, younger than many people present, even much younger, but under that unangrily severe gaze, everyone held their breath, their heads bowed as low as possible, as if they wanted to make themselves transparent to avoid Tan Deputy's knife-like gaze that made one's whole body cold.

  "Has the computer system of the Railway Department collapsed? Wasn't there anyone who tested it before implementing the online ticketing system? The whole system has collapsed on the first day of Spring Festival travel in just one hour!" Tan Jieyan's low voice thundered, slamming the documents he had investigated onto the office desk.

  Tan Jieyan, who was originally cold and stern, when he narrowed his eyes, pursed his thin lips, and exuded a majestic and chilling aura, even the soldiers in the army back then didn't dare to look at him, let alone these ordinary railway officials.
