He Sen's thoughts were clear; he knew he had no choice and was in no position to negotiate with Song Guanchao.

Song Guanchao came to see him only after completing all preparations.

In other words, whether he agreed or not didn't really matter.

If he didn't agree, Luo Sanming would still come to find him.

Given the circumstances, he could only agree.

If he agreed, at least Song Guanchao would protect him.

Of course, that's what Song Guanchao said, but whether he'd actually keep him safe depended on Song Guanchao's bottom line.

He Sen didn't like the feeling of having his fate controlled by someone else; it made him feel insecure.

Having been in the official world for half his life, he was used to giving orders and being in control.

Suddenly becoming someone else's puppet made him feel uncomfortable.

"Pleasure working with you."

Song Guanchao put down his teacup and extended his right hand.

He Sen shook his hand.

As Song Guanchao was about to leave, He Kang suddenly said, "I have a request."

Song Guanchao paused, slightly raised an eyebrow, and looked at him.

He Sen said, "Let my son leave."

Song Guanchao thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Mr. He, come with me."

"Dad..."

"Leave with District Chief Song. I won't be harmed."

He Sen's face turned pale; he hesitated and felt helpless.

At a critical moment, he couldn't do anything.

Ultimately, he listened to He Sen and left the villa with Song Guanchao.

As he stepped out, seeing several cars, He Kang felt even more desperate.

Song Guanchao's preparations were too thorough.

This guy, even though he's wanted, where did he find so many people?

He never took Song Guanchao seriously, but who would've thought his methods were so strong?

Lu Feng glanced at He Kang and asked, "Chief, where to?"

"Take him back, watch over him, and then come back."

"Got it."

At four in the afternoon, Lu Feng returned.

Song Guanchao, in the car, briefly explained what was going to happen next so they'd have an idea.

He glanced at the time; it was almost five.

"I'll go ahead. Whatever happens next, don't interfere and stick to the plan."

"Understood!"

Song Guanchao left the community, took a taxi to a restaurant about ten kilometers away, sat by the window, and sent the address to Luo Sanming.

Luo Sanming received the address and immediately headed over with his men.

At six-thirty in the evening.

A plain sedan stopped outside the restaurant.

Luo Sanming got out of the car and looked at the restaurant in front of him.

He immediately saw Song Guanchao sitting by the window, and Song Guanchao saw him too, their eyes meeting through the glass window.

He walked in alone, showing enough sincerity.

He entered the restaurant, came to Song Guanchao's table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

The dishes had already been served.

Song Guanchao didn't greet him, eating quietly by himself.

Luo Sanming didn't start a conversation either; he picked up his chopsticks and ate in a refined manner.

After they were full, Song Guanchao asked, "Give me the evidence."

Luo Sanming wiped his lips, took out his phone, opened a video, and pushed it over.

Song Guanchao picked it up. In the video, a girl was being abused.

Toward the end of the beating, the girl curled up on the ground, silent.

A burly man came over and casually dragged the girl away, leaving a long bloody trail on the ground.

Luo Sanming took out a memory card and placed it on the table, "The video is here."

"District Chief Song, you've seen my sincerity."

"Now, can you tell me where He Sen is?"

Song Guanchao didn't speak or take the memory card but instead sent the video to his own phone.

Luo Sanming didn't stop him: "District Chief Song is indeed cautious."

After the video was sent, Song Guanchao immediately forwarded it to Liang Jianfeng, then put away his phone and coldly remarked, "Mr. Luo, after how you've screwed me over this time, I can't help but be cautious."

"He Sen is at Kebing International, building 102."

Luo Sanming smiled, "District Chief Song, why not come with me?"

Song Guanchao shook his head, "There's no way I'm going with you."

"It's not up to you."

Luo Sanming stood up, "District Chief Song, cooperate with me, and I'll let you go. Otherwise, there will be a second corpse at your home tomorrow."

"You're threatening me?"

"You can consider it a threat."

A hint of fierceness flashed in Song Guanchao's eyes as he stood up and walked out.

Luo Sanming chuckled and followed.

"District Chief Song, get in the car."

He opened the sedan door by the roadside.

Song Guanchao peeked inside through the window; there was only a driver in the car.

After getting in, Luo Sanming gave an address, and the vehicle began to move.

On the way, Luo Sanming took out a cigar and handed it over.

Song Guanchao didn't take it; he pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

Luo Sanming laughed, "District Chief Song, I actually have no issues with you. I'm just a regular businessman, but you went too far this time."

Song Guanchao sneered, "It's my fault, then?"

"You should've considered the consequences when you forced Qin Yuejin to commit suicide."

At this, Luo Sanming paused for a few seconds, "Does District Chief Song know who incited Qin Yuejin from behind?"

To be fair, Luo Sanming was also a victim.

It was that informer who pushed Qin Yuejin to that point.

He had been searching for that informer but could never find them.

Song Guanchao said, "When you drove Qin Yuejin to death, why didn't you ask him? I thought Mr. Luo was always thorough. How could you overlook something like this?"

Before Qin Yuejin kidnapped Qu Xiangru and Wu Qiangwei, some people must have contacted him.

And those who contacted him were the informers.

If Luo Sanming had asked then, he would've gotten the answer.

Luo Sanming laughed self-deprecatingly, "It happened so suddenly, who could've thought that much."

"But since Qin Yuejin is still alive, there might still be a turn in events."

"I hope District Chief Song will talk to Secretary Qu when you get back and let this matter go."

Song Guanchao said, "I'm not familiar with Secretary Qu. If you want to apologize, do it yourself."

During the conversation, the car arrived at the villa area.

They came to the villa where He Sen resided.

Several cars parked not far away, and Lu Feng and the others noticed this car.

And just a minute after this car parked, seven or eight other cars followed, completely blocking the villa's entrance gate.

As Luo Sanming and Song Guanchao got out of the car, the other cars simultaneously opened.

Tall and strong men dressed in suits, clearly not easy to deal with, stepped out and approached Luo Sanming.

The leading man in a suit said, "Mr. Luo."

Luo Sanming said, "Bring out the people in the villa."

"Yes." The man in the suit squeezed the micro earpiece on his collar and began issuing orders.

Soon, more than a dozen men in suits entered the villa in an orderly manner.

Song Guanchao took this opportunity to size up Luo Sanming's men.

This group of men in suits had robust builds, with tattoos visible on their bare arms and necks.

And the leading man in a suit, the bulge on the right side of his waist suggested he might be carrying a handgun.

Then, a voice came through the leading man's earpiece.

He listened intently for a few seconds and reported, "Mr. Luo, there's only He Sen in the villa."

As soon as he finished, Song Guanchao said, "Mr. Luo, you've got your man. Can I leave now?"

Luo Sanming smiled, "It's still early. Why don't we go back to my place for some tea, District Chief Song?"

"No need..."

"Click!"

The leading man in the suit unexpectedly drew his gun, the cold muzzle pressed against Song Guanchao.

He said expressionlessly, "Mr. Luo invites you for tea, and if you refuse, Mr. Luo will be very displeased."
