Song Guanchao sat in the surveillance room, watching He Sen and his father in the interrogation room through the screen.

Tonight's commotion will be quite significant.

Mr. Luo also has shares in these two clubs.

Such a massive raid, Mr. Luo will definitely receive the news.

Song Guanchao was a bit eager, wanting to see how Mr. Luo would react upon knowing the city's attitude.

People who stand behind the scenes generally don't leave substantial evidence.

Even if there is, it would be hard to find.

So, even if these clubs are sealed due to illegal activities, Mr. Luo would at most suffer some economic losses.

Wanting to capture him is very difficult.

Half an hour later, two teams arrived at the two clubs.

After presenting the search warrant, they headed straight for the basement and surveillance rooms of the clubs, leaving a few men to block the entrance.

Controlling the surveillance room is to prevent anyone from receiving orders to escape.

The general manager of the club immediately learned of this, he didn't flee but took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Mr. Luo, the place has been raided by the police."

"They're not ordinary officers, but detectives."

"As soon as they arrived, they went straight for the basement, it seems… someone leaked information about this place."

Mr. Luo was very calm: "I know."

At the same time, the general manager of another club also called.

Both clubs have been raided.

Mr. Luo thought for a while and called He Sen.

The call went through, but no one answered.

He called twice, then stopped.

At this time, He Sen couldn't possibly be resting.

The call going through but unanswered, such a situation is almost impossible.

In other words, He Sen might have been taken by the police.

Mr. Luo squinted his eyes, he truly did not expect the city to investigate this deeply.

Moreover, the city has quite a bit of information.

Currently, it can be confirmed that the city has grasped the shady dealings of the loan company.

If the other side truly finds those female college students being held, the case will be big.

By then, at least a group of people will be arrested.

Of course, he wasn't too worried about this.

Because the police won't find anything tonight.

What he is worried about is the city's attitude.

To what degree does the city want to investigate?

Thinking about this, he dialed a number.

...

Captain Shi stood at the stairway entrance to the club's basement.

A police officer rushed up and said: "Captain Shi, there's nothing in the basement."

Captain Shi frowned, how could there be nothing?

Those testimonies couldn't be fake.

Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang; it was Deputy Captain's call.

"Speak."

"Captain Shi, nothing was found here either, the basement is filled with miscellaneous items, nobody is detained."

Captain Shi furrowed his brows.

I thought tonight we'd rescue a batch of detained female college students, but instead, it's a bust.

Could someone have leaked information?

The club's general manager came over at this time, looking impatient: "Officer, done with the search?"

Captain Shi stared at the general manager's loathsome fat face and asked: "Where are the people being held?"

The general manager showed even more impatience: "What people? This is a legitimate club, how could anyone be held here."

Captain Shi's face was terrifyingly gloomy, glaring at the general manager, and the general manager felt uneasy under his gaze, his expression unnatural.

Captain Shi suppressed his anger and sternly said: "Leave!"

Tonight's operation was a failure.

He was certain that Yang Hu's confession was real.

What he spoke of must have happened.

But something went wrong in the process.

On the way back, the car was filled with a heavy atmosphere, all the officers felt frustrated.

They felt like they were toyed with.

At the police station, Song Guanchao watched the time hit nine o'clock, but Captain Shi's call still hadn't come.

Could they have faced some obstruction?

The people at the club shouldn't dare to hinder the detectives' operation.

Moreover, they had complete paperwork, search warrants and such were prepared in advance.

He watched the surveillance, He Sen on the screen was leaning back in his chair, eyes closed, sometimes sipping tea or smoking.

This guy was very calm.

But Song Guanchao was certain, he was putting on an act.

At 9:20, the sound of dense footsteps echoed outside.

"Captain Shi is back." Wu Yun said.

Song Guanchao came out and immediately saw Captain Shi's unpleasant expression.

The officers behind him had equally hard expressions.

Song Guanchao's heart skipped a beat.

The arrest operation seemed to have had an accident.

Before he could inquire, Captain Shi said: "No one was in the club's basement."

Song Guanchao's pupils shrank instantly.

No one?

How could it be!

Yang Hu could not possibly be lying, and he wouldn't dare to lie.

Furthermore, after Yang Hu was captured, he hadn't touched a phone, so it's impossible he contacted He Sen to leak information ahead of time.

But, indeed, there was no one in the basement.

He thought of He Sen's calmness, and his heart sank slightly.

He roughly guessed what happened.

Those female college students detained in the basement were probably transferred a long time ago.

After all, Yang Hu knew these secrets.

And Yang Hu, who knew the secrets, suddenly disappeared, He Sen would definitely worry about information leakage.

In other words, those female college students were probably moved half a year ago.

Song Guanchao realized he made a major mistake.

Because in such a situation, he should have thought of this.

"It was my oversight."

Song Guanchao said in a solemn voice.

This operation failed, the blame rested on him.

Captain Shi shook his head: "Now is not the time to talk about this."

He looked in the direction of the interrogation room: "Since we can't find the people, we can't convict. Within 24 hours, we have to release them."

"He Sen already knows we're targeting him, once he leaves, he'll definitely try to erase related evidence."

"Those female college students' outcome will definitely not be good."

Song Guanchao asked: "Has the number of missing female college students from the school been tallied?"

"Not yet."

If the family members didn't report them missing, it's hard to confirm if they are.

Schools won't care about an individual student.

Therefore, the workload to gather data is huge, impossible to finish in a day.

"First, tally and confirm the exact number of missing persons."

"Additionally, starting tomorrow, shift operations to Zhujiang Branch."

Song Guanchao said: "When Director You returns from his trip tomorrow, have him and all deputy directors of the branch wait for me in the office."

Captain Shi's eyes shifted: "You suspect the Zhujiang Branch is involved in this matter?"

Song Guanchao squinted his eyes: "For this loan company to act so brazenly, relying on Zhang Yulin as district chief is not enough."

"Moreover, Yang Hu said that some parents of missing female college students came to Lingjiang to petition and report but were detained by local police."

"If the Zhujiang Branch isn't colluding with He Sen, why would they detain those who came to report?"

Captain Shi's eyes flared, as a fellow policeman, what he detests most is this kind of abuse of power.

He took a deep breath and asked: "How to deal with He Sen?"

Song Guanchao pondered for a few seconds, then said: "Once the retention time is up, release him."
