He Kang leaned back in his chair, frowning deeply as he puffed on his cigarette.

Qin Yuejin's home, unbelievably, had really been burglarized!

Luckily, they had been prepared in advance and placed a tracking device.

They had also found out the identity of the thief.

It was Song Guanchao!

No, it was the person behind Song Guanchao.

Wu Qiangwei, or perhaps Qu Xiangru.

Or perhaps both of them were involved.

What are these two secretaries up to?

Do they simply want to take down Qin Yuejin, or are they targeting the people behind him as well?

It's important to realize that behind Qin Yuejin, it's not just him alone.

Besides, once Qin Yuejin is captured, the things he's done will definitely come to light.

On the surface, Qin Yuejin only bought shares in a loan company, but the actions of this company are enough to get him executed several times over.

If this matter is exposed, he's done for!

"No, I have to talk to Dad about this."

He stubbed out the cigarette and rushed towards the villa where his father lived.

By the time he arrived, it was already late at night. He had the key to the villa and went directly inside.

As he walked into the living room, he heard a woman's moaning from one of the rooms.

He couldn't let that bother him; he pushed the door open and turned on the light.

He saw his father handcuffed at both hands and feet.

A sensually alluring young woman was sitting on top of him, moving her enticing body.

He Kang's mouth twitched, his old man was having more fun than he was.

The woman was their housekeeper.

Calling her a housekeeper was just an excuse; she was actually his father's kept woman.

As for He Kang's mother, she had long since relocated overseas, out of sight and out of mind.

He Kang didn't actually care about his father's private affairs.

He was a man too, and he understood men all too well.

His only bottom line was that his father must absolutely not give him any brothers or sisters.

The He family's estate was for him alone to inherit.

"Ah!"

The sudden entry startled the woman, who immediately covered her chest.

Startled, she tightened below and inadvertently set He Sen free.

He Sen gasped a few times before exhaling comfortably.

After the moment passed, he turned his head to see it was his own son and scolded, "Don't you know to knock before coming in?"

He Kang rolled his eyes. "Dad, I need to talk to you."

Saying that, he shut the door behind him.

A few minutes later, the sexy young housemaid emerged wrapped in a nightgown.

As they brushed past each other, He Kang pinched her buttocks.

The young housemaid shot him a tempting, seductive glance.

Compared to the old man feeble in the bed, the housemaid was more interested in He Sen.

He Kang was about to reach out again when He Sen appeared.

He Sen noticed his son's wandering hand but didn't mind.

In their kind of world, women were merely instruments for pleasure.

When one was no longer entertaining, you just replaced her with the next.

If his son was interested, giving her to him was no big deal.

The housemaid brewed two cups of tea and then went inside to stay.

He Kang shared the situation with the old man.

He Sen puffed out smoke rings and frowned, saying, "Don't get close to them, and don't meddle in this matter."

He Kang said anxiously, "Are we just going to watch as they take Qin Yuejin down?"

He Sen looked at him, "What else? Do you have a solution?"

"Do you think Wu Qiangwei will let Qin Yuejin go simply because I step in?"

"Besides, is it really just Wu Qiangwei behind this?"

"Dad, are you suggesting Qu Xiangru is involved too?"

"Not suggesting, it's for certain!"

He Sen said, "Before Qu Xiangru came to Lingjiang, even though Wu Qiangwei was aggressive, she wasn't this bold."

"Since she arrived, how many things have happened in Lingjiang?"

He Kang said, "The fraud case was an accident, she was just there to pick up the pieces."

"Accident?"

He Sen sneered, "You actually think it was an accident?"

His son was a playboy, but a cut above the average one—at least he knew what to do and what not to do.

But as for smarts, he didn't have much.

On political matters, his understanding was superficial, and his perspective was rather shallow.

"Not an accident?" He Kang said in surprise, "But it was indeed Zheng Bihui who was cheated, and this type of fraud has happened in other cities too."

There had been other cities that were scammed with similar tactics.

So when knowing Zheng Bihui got scammed too, although he was surprised, he wasn't too alarmed.

Because this kind of scam wasn't exactly novel.

Zheng Bihui had simply let his guard down.

He Sen said, "If the fraud gang hadn't been caught, if the embezzled money hadn't been retrieved, then it would have indeed been an accident."

"But Zheng Bihui was just swindled, and Qu Xiangru immediately made demands to Jiang Yuan. Song Guanchao then also took on a task, retrieved the fraud money successfully, and captured the fraud team. Don't you think what they did was too perfect?"

"Do I need to explain to you how difficult it is to recover funds transferred abroad?"

He Kang said, "Song Guanchao has retrieved 7 billion before; he has shown his capability in this area."

He Sen replied blandly, "That only means that he had already noticed Hou Wen's escape plans early on and controlled the money beforehand. He just didn't disclose it, letting outsiders think the money had left the country and then he retrieved it."

"It's the same this time."

"They must have realized Zheng Bihui was being scammed long ago, but instead of intervening early, they used it to their advantage. When Zheng Bihui and Jiang Yuan were deep in trouble, they stepped in, saving the day, conveniently harvesting Jiang Yuan's authority."

He Kang opened his mouth but was at a loss for words.

He Sen continued, "Remember, overseas funds can only be retrieved by two means."

"First, the other party returns it voluntarily."

"Second, from start to finish, Qu Xiangru had control over the funds, and everything done was just a show for outsiders."

He was once the Mayor of Lingjiang City and saw far deeper than he did.

Furthermore, he viewed it from an outsider's perspective, which was more rational and objective than the likes of Jiang Yuan and Zheng Bihui, who were deeply entangled victims.

Indeed, Song Guanchao was exceptionally capable.

But no matter how capable, it was impossible to retrieve funds that had left the country.

Compounding the actions of Qu Xiangru and Song Guanchao, he could be 100% certain they had long been aware of the fraudsters' existence and had made corresponding preparations.

He Kang asked, "Then why does Qu Xiangru want to target Director Qin?"

"What do you think?"

He Sen cast him a sidelong glance, saying, "Have you forgotten why Wu Qiangwei was transferred to Lingjiang?"

A word to awaken a dreamer!

Because the power of the Lingjiang Municipal Committee and the City Government had been excessively fragmented, the higher-ups transferred Wu Qiangwei over to try and refocus the power of the City Committee and Municipal Government.

He Sen said, "With Jiang Yuan suppressed and Zheng Bihui in peril, were it me, I would also want to take the opportunity to eliminate the remaining unstable factors."

"And Qin Yuejin is precisely that unstable factor!"

"This Secretary Qu is indeed a capable person, no wonder she rose to Executive Deputy Governor at such a young age."

"Her tactics are indeed formidable."

"She used Zhang Yulin as an entry point, reporting twice in succession. The first time handed it over to the city government, and the second time, her involvement was then justified."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the next step will be a letter of complaint about Qin Yuejin appearing at the City Committee."
