In the office on the second floor, Lei Bao, who had made numerous calls but couldn't find any reinforcements, was beginning to panic, sensing his imminent downfall!
Just a few minutes ago, those bigshots who were supposed to be his umbrella confidently assured him that they would smooth things over and apply pressure on the Action Department regarding this matter!
But unexpectedly, just a few minutes later, the tone of their returned calls completely changed!
They claimed they were helpless in this situation and told Lei Bao not to resist stubbornly, urging him to cooperate with the Action Department and be a law-abiding citizen.
What a load of crap!
Upon hearing their tone, Lei Bao realized those bigwigs intended to abandon him and play it safe.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out whom he had offended this time that led to such a disastrous outcome?!
Just as he was overwhelmed with anger, the office door was kicked open, and Situ Yan and Jiang Feng, along with several stern-faced members of the Action Department, strode in.
"Jiang, so it's you?!!"
Seeing Jiang Feng appear, Lei Bao was furious, finally realizing who the "bane" was that had destroyed his base!
At the same time, the female manager in the cheongsam was so scared that she collapsed on the ground, while Qi Guangyu was filled with deep regret!
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have lustfully gone after Zhang Qinyao; now he was caught up with Jiang Feng, leading to his own ruin!
"Lei Bao, you are under arrest for operating a casino, illegal fundraising, using drugs to harm others, among other crimes. Come with us!" Situ Yan stepped forward and said coldly to Lei Bao.
"Jiang, just you wait, this isn't over between us!" Lei Bao, quite shrewdly, didn't resist but glared wickedly at Jiang Feng!
He knew that no matter how strong his background was, it couldn't rival the authorities, and surrendering was the only way to minimize his suffering.
Upon Situ Yan's command, two action team members stepped forward, apprehending Lei Bao and cuffing him.
Beside them, a deeply regretful Qi Guangyu was also honestly captured by two other action team members, looking utterly dejected.
In the end, even the female manager on the ground with vacant eyes was taken away together.
Not long ago, Lei's Casino, a den of vice, was completely swept clean, utterly destroyed!
Before being shoved into the vehicle, Lei Bao took one last look at his casino, the culmination of many years of hard work, now gone in an instant!
His vision darkened, and he almost fainted.
"Jiang Feng, I will make you pay a terrible price!!!"
...
The news of Lei Bao and Qi Guangyu's arrest and the collapse of Lei's Casino spread throughout the entire Binhai South City in no time.
At its core, it was because Situ Yan caused such a big commotion that avoiding a sensation was impossible.
The removal of such a massive tumor was naturally satisfying, as many people in South City had suffered in silence at Lei's Casino, and now they've finally seen justice served.
However, many well-informed bigwigs, upon learning that Jiang Feng was essentially the mastermind behind this, couldn't help but stir up heated discussions.
Even with the Yan Family about to declare an all-out feud against him, he still found the time to take down Lei Bao, manifesting an undeniable arrogance.
Naturally, many were also aware of Lei Bao's background and predicted that Jiang Feng was bound to face significant misfortune!
He might seem to have the upper hand in Binhai, acting lawlessly, but if he really encounters those powerful families in the Provincial City, what chance does he stand?
He's not even in the same league and could easily be crushed with a single slap!
...
As the informant, Jiang Feng followed Situ Yan to the South City Action Department Branch to give his statement and testify against Lei Bao.
By the time the recording ended, it was already dark.
It wasn't due to any inefficiency on Situ Yan's part but because the entire Action Department had their hands full today!
Just from the interrogations of those casino staff, they uncovered how many lawless acts Lei Bao had committed over the years.
Running a casino was just a front; Lei Bao was also secretly operating loan shark services, raising thugs for intimidation, kidnapping and extortion, and even coercing numerous young girls.
All the accounts of transgressions surfaced, his crimes accumulating, detailed in volumes.
As Lei Bao's accomplice, whether before or after studying abroad, Qi Guangyu was also involved in numerous heinous acts, and the truth came to light, ensuring he would face severe legal repercussions.
Even Qi Guangyu's parents, who came personally to try to pull strings at the Action Department, found it to be of no avail.
After a full afternoon and night of hard work, Situ Yan was thoroughly drained.
During this period, Jiang Feng also received calls from Feng Yueji, Murong Qian, and Zhang Qinyao, inquiring about the details.
Jiang Feng briefly explained, telling them not to worry.
The most shocking was Zhang Qinyao, who never expected that after Jiang Feng told her and her dad to leave, he would contact someone to completely dismantle Lei's Casino!
Jiang Feng's intention in having her and her father Zhang Dajiang leave was to prevent them from being implicated, ensuring Lei Bao didn't develop a grudge against them.
Overwhelmed by Jiang Feng's thoughtful consideration, Zhang Qinyao was so moved she didn't know what to say, feeling that no matter what she did, she couldn't repay Jiang Feng's kindness!
As darkness fully settled, approaching nine at night, the exhausted Situ Yan finally exited the interrogation room.
Seeing Jiang Feng waiting outside for her, she smiled wryly and approached.
"All done?" Jiang Feng stood up and asked.
"Far from it! But that's it for today, or I'd collapse in the interrogation room. What do you want to eat? It's my treat!"
Having been too busy to eat all day, Situ Yan was so hungry her blood pressure was dropping, making her steps unsteady.
"I'll treat you. At this hour, restaurants are closed, so let's go have some street food." Jiang Feng, noticing her fatigue, suggested.
"You drive!" Situ Yan had no objections, tossing her car keys to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng drove Situ Yan's Jeep Wrangler, taking her away from the Action Department to an outdoor night market food stall.
At this time, the food stall was bustling, filled with patrons.
After parking the car and finding a vacant spot to sit, Jiang Feng and Situ Yan suddenly heard someone behind them whisper mysteriously, "Hey, do you know Jiang Feng?"
Jiang Feng and Situ Yan quickly turned around to look.
