At four in the afternoon, Captain Shi received a call.

"Okay, I got it." He put down the phone and said to Song Guanchao, "We found them."

"Where?"

"Jiujiantang Villa District."

Just as he spoke, Captain Shi's phone rang again.

After listening for a few seconds, he said to Song Guanchao, "He Sen and his son have left home, it seems they're going out for dinner."

"Follow them and report the address in real time."

Captain Shi nodded, giving instructions to the other end of the line.

After hanging up, Song Guanchao said, "Let's move in for the arrest!"

Captain Shi immediately called the officers from the Criminal Police Unit, a total of eleven people, spread across three vehicles to carry out the operation.

At the same time.

In an S-Class Mercedes, He Sen leaned back in the rear seat, while He Kang was driving.

He Sen's graying eyebrows furrowed slightly.

For some reason, he had been feeling uneasy these days.

Since Qin Yuejin's suicide, he had been keeping close tabs, getting information through his political connections.

According to what he heard, the police seemed yet to conclusively define the nature of the case.

This made him uncertain of Qu Xiangru's stance.

Is it possible they plan to dig deeper?

The car soon arrived at a restaurant, and after parking, the father and son walked into the lobby.

This restaurant was ordinary in class, but it was said that the chef had once presided over state banquets, known for excellent culinary skills.

Whenever nothing pressing concerned him, He Sen would dine here, and the restaurant reserved a private room specifically for him that wasn't open to the public.

They entered the private room, and the dishes began arriving one after another.

Meanwhile.

Three cars drove into the parking lot.

Captain Shi and his team got out of the vehicles.

Standing beside the car, Song Guanchao said, "I won't be going in, I'll wait for you here."

Captain Shi nodded and said, "Let's go in."

After they left, only Song Guanchao, Wu Yun, and Jiang Yiren remained in the parking lot.

Jiang Yiren was a bit nervous: "District Chief Song, why not just contact He Sen directly and let them come voluntarily?"

In her view, such a high-profile arrest would have a bad impact.

After all, he was a former Mayor, some face should be preserved.

Song Guanchao replied, "Do you think if I called, they would come over voluntarily?"

He felt Jiang Yiren was a bit too naive.

Even Wu Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Miss Jiang, this is a case operation. He Sen and his son are now suspects, and the nature of their involved case is extremely serious. If you were a murderer, and the police suddenly called you, would you run away, or voluntarily come to the station to cooperate with the investigation?"

Jiang Yiren pursed her lips and said nothing.

In the restaurant lobby.

As Captain Shi and his team entered, a tall and slender woman, who was the hostess in a cheongsam, approached them: "Hello gentlemen, would you like to dine?"

Captain Shi showed his police ID: "The police are investigating a case, call your manager over."

The hostess hesitated for a moment and said nervously, "Please wait a moment."

The hostess used the intercom to notify the manager.

Soon, a man in his thirties, well-dressed in a suit, walked over.

"Hello, officer."

Captain Shi asked, "Which room is He Sen in?"

"Mayor He?" The manager quickly replied, "He's on the second floor."

"Lead the way."

"Okay."

The manager wasn't nervous, just purely curious.

With the captain of the criminal police team personally coming to arrest a former Mayor, what crime did this Mayor commit?

The manager's curiosity was burning like wildfire.

"Here it is," the manager said while standing outside the door.

Captain Shi didn't ask how many people were in the private room; they were followed by police all the way and it was already confirmed.

Captain Shi moved forward and pushed open the private room door.

In the elegantly decorated room, a delicate screen separated the dining and rest areas.

At a small round table, He Sen and He Kang were dining.

The sound of the door opening did not draw He Sen and his son's attention; they thought it was just the server bringing more dishes.

Until the sound of dense footsteps came, only then did the pair look over.

Seeing a group of men in leather jackets or sports coats, looking rough, the father and son realized something was amiss.

He Sen's unease, amplified by the presence of these people.

But having served as Mayor, his psychological resilience was not that of the average person.

No matter how panicked he was internally, he maintained his composure on the surface.

Captain Shi and his team approached the table, showing their identification: "He Sen, He Kang, you're involved in the Le Hui Loan Company case, come with us."

Le Hui Loan Company...

He Sen slightly relaxed—it wasn't that severe.

He put down his chopsticks, took a sip of red wine, and leisurely wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with a napkin before looking at Captain Shi.

"Wait a moment, let me call my lawyer."

Captain Shi nodded, permitting it.

He Sen dialed the lawyer's number: "Lawyer Guo, come over for a bit…"

He put down the phone, and asked, "Almost forgot, the police station building was bombed, where does Captain Shi intend to take me?"

"Xue Ming Road Police Station."

"Lawyer Guo, come over to Xue Ming Road Police Station."

After hanging up the phone, he stood up, "Let's go."

The arrest was more smooth than expected.

The father and son didn't resist, cooperating complyingly.

Therefore, Captain Shi didn't cuff them, preserving a little dignity for them.

Arriving at the parking lot, the father and son saw a familiar figure.

He Sen hadn't met Song Guanchao, but he'd seen his photos.

Such a dazzling political rising star, He Sen had certainly researched him.

He knew that the case of Qin Yuejin was under Song Guanchao's charge.

Evidently, the order to arrest him was also his command.

He walked over, smiled, and said, "District Chief Song."

"You know me?"

"Hehe, Lingjiang's political rising star, appearing on the news several times, it's hard not to know."

"Good to know." Song Guanchao nodded, "Saves the self-introduction, get in the car."

He didn't mean to talk much with them, turning around to get in the car with the two women.

They were then taken to another car.

Half an hour later.

They were taken to the police station.

Song Guanchao didn't go in immediately; he let them go in first, stayed in the parking lot alone, and called Lu Feng.

"Madman, bring Yang Hu over, call me when you're about to arrive."

Putting down the phone, Song Guanchao walked into the police station.

"Captain Shi, inform the officers that there will be an operation tonight, please stay for some overtime."

"What operation?" Captain Shi frowned slightly, having no prior knowledge of it.

All of Song Guanchao's actions and orders were not disclosed beforehand, consistently abrupt.

This made him feel uncomfortable.

As if Song Guanchao didn't trust him.

"The matter is complicated, it can't be explained in a few words, I'll explain during the operation later."

Not wanting to create a rift, Song Guanchao elaborated a bit more.

Captain Shi nodded and pointed to two interrogation rooms: "He Kang is in the left, He Sen is in the right."

Song Guanchao first opened the door to He Sen's interrogation room.

He Sen was sitting quietly on the interrogation chair; he was the most calm during an interrogation that Song Guanchao had seen.

Seeing Song Guanchao, He Sen smiled.

His features were dignified and upright, a standard square face with an imposing aura.

His slightly white hair and eyebrows further enhanced the sense of trustworthiness.

Just by appearance, no one could imagine this old man was a villain to the core.

Song Guanchao sat down, took out cigarettes and a lighter, placing them on the table: "Help yourself if you want to smoke."

"Thank you."

He Sen replied politely, taking a cigarette and lighting it.

Seemingly smoking, but actually observing Song Guanchao.

Likewise, Song Guanchao was observing him.

Once he was halfway through smoking, Song Guanchao said, "Yang Hu turned himself in."

Watching He Sen closely, as soon as he said this, he noticed a momentary pause in He Sen's actions, his expression turning slightly serious.
