Liang Jianfeng paused his report.

Qu Xiangru picked up the phone, "Hello, Mr. Luo."

Mr. Luo?

Luo Sanming?

Wu Qiangwei and Liang Jianfeng perked up.

They couldn't hear what was said on the other end, and could only guess from Qu Xiangru's reactions.

"The police won't compromise."

Qu Xiangru said just that and hung up.

Wu Qiangwei hesitated for a moment and asked, "What did Luo Sanming say?"

"I'll head back first." Liang Jianfeng stood up, thinking Qu Xiangru wouldn't speak in front of him.

"No need, sit down and listen together."

Qu Xiangru said, "Luo Sanming wants to reconcile."

"Reconcile?" Wu Qiangwei asked immediately, "Does he have evidence to prove Song Guanchao's innocence?"

"Yes." Qu Xiangru said, "I refused."

The hope that had just risen in Wu Qiangwei was instantly dashed.

Liang Jianfeng, on the other hand, wasn't disappointed. "You can't trust someone like him."

"Moreover, if he can do something like this once, he can do it a second time. We can't pin our hopes on him."

"The Yunhai Club must be eradicated, and Luo Sanming must be brought to justice!"

He noticed Wu Qiangwei's expression and added, "I believe if District Chief Song were here, he would think the same."

He believed that Song Guanchao would never accept a negotiation with a heinous criminal.

Furthermore, Luo Sanming is too dangerous.

If it weren't for what happened that night, perhaps there would have been hope for negotiation.

But after something so big happened, still thinking of negotiation, Luo Sanming is just dreaming.

"Director Liang, I leave the case in your hands."

Liang Jianfeng nodded, "I'll head back first."

After he left, Wu Qiangwei didn't leave, sitting in the chair, seeming like she wanted to speak but hesitated.

Qu Xiangru knew what she wanted to say, "You hope I reconcile with him?"

Wu Qiangwei finally nodded, "Yes."

Qu Xiangru said, "You don't really understand Song Guanchao."

"What do you mean?"

"Heh." Qu Xiangru said, "Call him, tell him about this, if he's willing to reconcile, I'll do it."

Wu Qiangwei immediately took out her phone and dialed Lu Feng's number.

"Secretary, what's up?" Song Guanchao spoke with a suppressed voice.

Although he knew Wu Qiangwei would only call when it was safe, he was, after all, wanted, feeling some psychological pressure.

Wu Qiangwei said, "Luo Sanming just called, he's willing to reconcile. As long as you agree, he will provide evidence to prove your innocence."

Song Guanchao sneered, "He's got some nerve."

"After causing such a mess, does he still think of reconciling?"

Wu Qiangwei said, "Solving the case is very difficult."

She hoped Song Guanchao would agree.

For her, Luo Sanming could be gotten rid of at any time.

But as long as the case wasn't solved, Song Guanchao remained wanted, bearing the stigma of a murderer.

Song Guanchao sensed her concern.

He suddenly realized that Wu Qiangwei had invested so much emotion in him, it's seriously affecting her judgment.

He gently said, "Secretary, we can't reconcile."

"Once we reconcile, it would mean telling Luo Sanming that we can be controlled by him. This kind of thing will keep happening."

"But..."

"Secretary, you're a bit unsettled."

Wu Qiangwei suddenly fell silent, "I understand."

Putting down the phone, Qu Xiangru suddenly offered her a lady's cigarette.

She took it, and Qu Xiangru leaned over to light it for her.

Wu Qiangwei wore a worried expression.

"He refused."

Qu Xiangru smiled, "I told you, you still don't understand him well enough."

Wu Qiangwei suddenly looked at her, showing slight emotional fluctuations, "You know him well?"

That tone was like girls having a little tiff.

Qu Xiangru wasn't angry, still smiling, "Probably better than you."

Wu Qiangwei wasn't angry either. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "I just wish he could be safe."

This statement made Qu Xiangru a bit lost in thought.

She knew Song Guanchao would refuse; she just didn't want him to get hurt.

She wasn't as calm as Qu Xiangru, nor could she be as rational.

Seeing a way for Song Guanchao to get out safely, even if imperfect, she prioritized his safety above everything else.

Qu Xiangru's eyes flickered slightly, suddenly saying, "That day in the villa, I had a relationship with him."

Wu Qiangwei was taken aback, not understanding why she would suddenly mention this.

Her emotions began to fluctuate uncontrollably.

But then Qu Xiangru said, "Just kidding."

"..." Wu Qiangwei suddenly clenched her fists, a bit annoyed.

"So easy to tease."

Qu Xiangru smiled, "Seems like you really care about him. You obviously like him, so why not be more proactive? Keeping him hanging will only push him further away."

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back."

Wu Qiangwei didn't want to discuss such matters at this time.

...

"Luo Sanming actually wants to reconcile."

Song Guanchao sat on the villa steps smoking, honestly unable to understand Luo Sanming's move.

Does he naively think what he's done can be resolved peacefully?

However, his call came at the right time.

After finishing a cigarette, Song Guanchao pulled out his phone and pressed Luo Sanming's number.

"Beep beep..."

The call connected, but Luo Sanming didn't speak.

This was his private number, not many knew it.

"Mr. Luo, long time no see."

"Ah, District Chief Song." Luo Sanming was a bit surprised but not shocked.

Song Guanchao said, "I want to make a deal with Mr. Luo."

"What kind of deal?" He was quite interested.

"Mr. Luo clears my name, and I'll tell you where He Sen and his son are."

This time, Luo Sanming was a bit surprised. He actually knew He Sen's whereabouts.

Lately, he'd been having people look for He Sen with no leads.

But Song Guanchao had found them.

He couldn't help but doubt the truth of Song Guanchao's words.

"Heh, why would I need He Sen's whereabouts?"

It'd be great to catch He Sen, but if not, no big deal.

After all, he's already wanted, never to show his face again in this life.

Plus, Qu Xiangru rejected his reconciliation proposal, indicating that, in her view, capturing him was more important than Song Guanchao's safety.

Given this, the deal didn't hold much allure for him.

Song Guanchao said, "You catch He Sen and his son, hand them over, and the case ends here. I can assure Mr. Luo that our grievances end here."

Luo Sanming's smile grew broader.

Song Guanchao was scared, he'd gotten scared!

Unfortunately, he didn't have the standing to sit at the negotiating table with him.

Even holding Luo Sanming's location, he wasn't qualified.

"District Chief Song, I have a suggestion."

Luo Sanming said, "I suggest you turn yourself in at the police station. You might get a lighter sentence."

Things were silent on Song Guanchao's end, nothing more was said.

"District Chief Song, consider my suggestion..."

As he was preparing to hang up, Song Guanchao suddenly said, "Qin Yuejin is still alive."
