Invite Qu Xiangru along?

Song Guanchao thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright."

He then went to Qu Xiangru's office, "The loan from Lingjiang Bank will be granted tomorrow. We'll start the capture tonight. Secretary Qu, you don't have any other plans for tonight, do you?"

"Do you need me to be there?"

"With tens of billions in funds, would Secretary Qu feel at ease not supervising on-site?"

Qu Xiangru instinctively wanted to say he was at ease but swallowed his words, "Understood."

Confirming the action for the night, Song Guanchao left the City Committee and met up with Lu Feng.

Tonight, they would arrest someone!

For him, the arrest was actually the simplest step.

No need to pose as the Disciplinary Committee or pretend to be the police, he could just arrest people directly.

The residence of Chu Yue's gang of fraudsters had long been identified.

In the meantime, Uncle Hong had even recorded their daily traveling habits.

What time they woke up, what time they ate, what time they went out, and so on.

After meeting with Lu Feng and discussing some details, Song Guanchao drove back to the City Committee, sat in his office, and quietly waited.

Five o'clock.

He entered the office, "Secretary, it's time to send it out."

Wu Qiangwei put down the document in her hand and asked, "Did you inform Secretary Qu?"

"I already told her, she's waiting for my call."

"Let's go."

They left the office, and at the elevator, Qu Xiangru also happened to arrive.

The two female secretaries exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

Without speaking, they understood each other's intentions just by looking.

Between them, there was clearly a kind of tacit understanding.

Downstairs, both women got into Song Guanchao's car.

Wu Qiangwei sat in the front passenger seat, while Qu Xiangru took the back seat.

At five-thirty, the car stopped in a hotel parking lot.

Song Guanchao turned off the engine, "The fraudsters are staying at this hotel."

Wu Qiangwei asked, "How do you plan to catch them?"

In the back, Qu Xiangru also turned her gaze, curious about how Song Guanchao would capture them.

Song Guanchao glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "In a moment, that fraudster will come out of the hotel lobby, then I'll walk over, knock him out with one punch, and shove him into the trunk."

"???" Wu Qiangwei was full of question marks.

Qu Xiangru also looked puzzled.

Seeing the two women confused, Song Guanchao cleared his throat slightly, "Just kidding."

Wu Qiangwei's face darkened, it was just the two of them, but there was also Qu Xiangru in the car.

It's not the time or place for jokes.

Just then, three business vehicles entered the parking lot.

These vehicles were all arranged by him.

Song Guanchao glanced at them, "It's almost time."

He took out a new phone, which had an anonymous SIM card.

He found the number of Chu Yue's Secretary Xu Guofu and called.

The call connected, and he mimicked a voice, "Hello, Secretary Xu, this is Sun Xiangwei."

The other side was momentarily confused, "Hello, Secretary Sun, what can I do for you?"

Song Guanchao said, "I just got a call from the bank, the loan has been approved, and the bank wants to invite Mr. Chu to a dinner. Is Mr. Chu available?"

Xu Guofu replied, "I'll need to ask."

"Please ask, Secretary Xu, I'll wait for your call."

Arresting someone is a technical task.

If disregarding being caught on camera, it could be done simply and roughly.

But Song Guanchao didn't want to attract too much attention; he wanted Chu Yue's gang to disappear without a trace.

Beside him, Wu Qiangwei and Qu Xiangru were speechless hearing his impersonation of Secretary Sun.

At the same time, they guessed his method in their hearts.

He planned to deceive this fraudster into the car and take control in a deceptive manner.

This approach was indeed very safe and unlikely to raise suspicion from the other party.

A few minutes later, Xu Guofu called back, "Mr. Chu is available. Secretary Sun, please send over the address."

"Great," Song Guanchao said, "I've already arranged the vehicle, it'll be at the hotel shortly."

After hanging up, Song Guanchao called Lu Feng, "The target is coming down soon, get ready."

"Received."

About ten minutes later, two men appeared in the hotel lobby and walked towards the entrance.

Song Guanchao squinted his eyes, "Here they come."

Qu Xiangru and Wu Qiangwei also looked over.

These two were Chu Yue and Xu Guofu.

As soon as they stepped out of the door, Lu Feng drove the business car over and rolled down the window, "Hello, Secretary Xu, please get in the car."

The two men opened the car door and got in.

But as soon as they sat down, before they could even fasten their seatbelts, they suddenly heard a noise from behind.

They felt confused and were about to turn around.

Something cold and hard silently pressed against the back of their heads.

Then, a cold voice followed.

"Put your hands on your legs."

Their bodies turned cold suddenly, and their minds went blank for a moment.

But they were experienced fraudsters; their psychological strength was still very strong.

They sneaked a glance with the corner of their eyes and saw the dark, metallic gleam of a gun barrel.

They swallowed hard, their hearts racing, unable to comprehend how this happened.

Wasn't this the car arranged by Secretary Sun?

Why were there armed robbers?

Could it be that their identities were too prominent, attracting the attention of criminals?

"Brothers, don't get excited," Xu Guofu calmed down, his tone steady.

"Shut up!"

"Brothers, if you want money..."

"Bang!"

Hiding in the back row was Li Zhijun, who at this moment, directly struck Xu Guofu on the head with the butt of a gun.

With considerable force.

Xu Guofu was hit so hard that he was dizzy.

Beside him, Chu Yue was already scared stiff.

These were damn bandits!

"I said shut up, do you not understand human speech?"

Li Zhijun impatiently cursed and then looked at Chu Yue, "Take out your phone."

Chu Yue was much more honest, obediently taking out his phone.

Li Zhijun grabbed the phone and also fished out Xu Guofu's phone.

Then he opened the car window and threw the phones out.

Outside the car, Lu Feng's little brother was already waiting, catching the two phones thrown out precisely.

Then the little brother walked over to Song Guanchao's car and handed the phones over.

At the same time, Lu Feng had already started the car, driving away from the hotel.

Song Guanchao didn't follow.

After all, there were still a few people not yet controlled.

He opened Xu Guofu's phone and quickly found the numbers for the other people.

He composed a text message instructing the others to pack their things and head to a villa on the outskirts of the city immediately.

After sending the message, replies came back one after another from the other side.

Only then did Song Guanchao put the phone away.

The arrest process went very smoothly.

With Chu Yue and Xu Guofu under control, the others didn't even need them to lift a finger; a text message lured them over.

Wu Qiangwei and Qu Xiangru witnessed the entire process and were a bit surprised.

Song Guanchao's capture plan was very mature.

And it felt to them that Song Guanchao was very experienced in doing this, not at all like it was his first time.

"Here they come."

At this point, Song Guanchao spoke again.

The two women looked toward the lobby.

They saw five men aged between thirty and forty, carrying backpacks or pushing luggage, coming out of the lobby.

Just as they walked out, the second and third business cars drove over and stopped at the hotel entrance.

The five men opened the car doors and got in one by one.

Watching these people get into Song Guanchao's car without any caution or defense, the two women suddenly thought Zheng Bihui was an idiot.

A dignified mayor, getting fooled by such stupid fraudsters, manipulated so easily.
