Official Career Storm

Chapter 34: Chapter 34

A few minutes later, Liang Jiajia had already arranged a meeting place with Fu Cheng.

On this side, Song Guanchao also shared the plan with Hu Zhengrong and a few others.

Twenty minutes later, a group of people arrived at the Flower Sea Restaurant on Huayuan District Xingying Road.

This was a medium to high-end restaurant with a lot of style, favored by many couples and petite bourgeois.

By this time, it was after eight in the evening, nearing nine.

Yet, the parking lot outside the restaurant was still filled with luxury cars.

The outer wall of the restaurant was a huge expanse of glass, allowing one to see inside the restaurant from outside.

Officers from the Huayuan Road Police Station were currently stationed near and inside the restaurant.

Even Director Yu rushed over temporarily from his home to participate in this arrest operation.

They were under great pressure.

For, Hu Zhengrong, Xiao Chenggong, Liang Hao, and Li Zhihe were also present.

What was typically a routine arrest process that could be executed by two or three police officers now had a crowd of leaders on site.

This placed great pressure on them, yet they also wanted to perform well.

"Fu Cheng spotted!"

"Fu Cheng has gone up to the second floor, the third table from the window on the left!"

"Director Yu, should we start the arrest?"

Inside the restaurant, police officers spotted Fu Cheng and asked over the radio.

Director Yu nodded, "Arrest..."

Before he could finish, a panicked voice came through the radio: "Director Yu, Fu Cheng has a gun!"

"What!" Yu Gang’s voice changed, "Are you sure? Are you sure it’s a gun?"

"Confirmed! It’s a police-issued firearm! It’s on his left waist."

"Director Yu, should we proceed?"

"Hold on!"

Yu Gang immediately halted the arrest operation and briskly walked over to a few sedans in the parking lot.

The sedan windows rolled down, and Liang Hao and others asked, "Has it started?"

Yu Gang said, "Mr. Liang, Fu Cheng has a gun!"

"What?"

Liang Hao and the others were also startled.

He frowned and asked, "Isn’t he off duty now?"

"This..." Yu Gang shook his head, "He’s from the Longjiang Road Police Station, I’m not sure."

Song Guanchao interjected, "Fu Cheng has been suspended."

"Suspended, then where did the gun come from?"

Liang Hao was furious, but he knew this was not the time to blame anyone.

He immediately contacted Chief Qi of the Longjiang Road Police Station.

"Hello, Chief Qi, is Fu Cheng currently on duty or off duty?"

"Xiao Fu? He’s been suspended. Mr. Liang, why are you suddenly asking about him... do you know Xiao Fu?"

"I’ll ask you again, did Fu Cheng hand in his firearm after being suspended?"

"Ah?"

"Answer me!"

"I... don’t know." Chief Qi seemed to guess something had happened and spoke in a panicked tone, "According to protocol, firearms must be handed in after work hours, especially since he has been suspended... but since you’re asking, I’ll need to check."

"Check immediately!"

Liang Hao hung up the phone.

At this time, Yu Gang, standing by the car window, heard his radio come alive.

"Director Yu, Liang Jiajia is here."

"What?"

Yu Gang looked up sharply and indeed saw, at the second floor window seat, a young woman who had joined Fu Cheng.

It was Liang Jiajia.

"Damn!" Yu Gang exclaimed anxiously into the radio, "Find a way to get her out of there!"

Liang Hao frowned, "Director Yu, keep it down. Even if Fu Cheng has a gun, do you think he’d dare to shoot? Have your men keep an eye on him and seize any opportunity to detain him!"

Yu Gang’s face soured as he said, "Mr. Liang, that policewoman is Director Liang’s daughter!"

Liang Hao’s expression changed slightly, "Which Director Liang?"

"Our Police Department’s Deputy Director!"

"Damn!" Liang Hao was shocked, this... turned out to be the city bureau deputy director’s daughter.

Although in terms of administrative rank, this Director Liang was slightly below him.

Still, he was the deputy director of the city bureau and if anything happened to his daughter here... he dared not think further.

"Brother Song, you, you’ve really put me in a hard spot!"

Liang Hao looked at Song Guanchao with a face full of resentment.

Song Guanchao hadn’t expected that Fu Cheng, after being suspended, hadn’t turned in his service weapon.

However, he wasn’t the least bit panicked.

After all, Fu Cheng didn’t know that he was already surrounded.

But the police officers clearly hesitated, showing some reluctance.

Song Guanchao didn’t trust them with Liang Jiajia’s safety.

He pushed open the car door and said, "Leave it to me!"

"Brother Song..."

Liang Hao wanted to stop him, but Xiao Chenggong said, "Let him go."

Liang Hao and Yu Gang both looked over, to which Xiao Chenggong said indifferently, "Don’t worry, he can handle this little scene."

The corners of their mouths twitched.

Fu Cheng had a gun!

This was a little scene?

Song Guanchao walked straight into the restaurant and headed for the second floor.

His strategy was simple, act directly and take control of the situation.

Originally, his plan was to lure Fu Cheng out and then let the police arrest him.

Now, these officers were nervous because he had a gun.

So, he would handle the capture himself.

He reached the second floor and already saw Fu Cheng.

Fu Cheng was about ten tables away, facing him.

Song Guanchao intentionally looked down to avoid attracting attention.

Fu Cheng’s attention was entirely on Liang Jiajia and he didn’t notice Song Guanchao.

At that moment, his phone rang; it was a call from Chief Qi.

Fu Cheng frowned and said, "It’s a call from Director Qi, I’ll take it."

He picked up the phone: "Hello, Director Qi..."

"Xiao Fu, you’ve been suspended, why haven’t you turned in your service weapon?"

Fu Cheng was taken aback: "Director Qi..."

"Mr. Liang just called to specifically inquire about this matter!"

"What?" Fu Cheng was stunned.

What did his failing to turn in his service weapon have to do with Mr. Liang?

And wasn’t Mr. Liang supposed to have gone to the Huayuan Road Police Station?

Why would he suddenly take an interest in me?

And how did he know I hadn’t turned in my weapon?

Suddenly, all sorts of questions flooded his mind, leaving him utterly confused.

All of a sudden.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure coming from the stairs.

The person was slightly bowing his head, but those eyes were watching him.

Song Guanchao!

He immediately recognized it was Song Guanchao!

Wasn’t he supposed to be at the Huayuan Road Police Station?

Why was he here?

Suddenly, it was as if lightning struck his mind, tying all his questions together.

"Zhang Ping must have confessed everything!"

"Liang Jiajia inviting me out must have been Song Guanchao’s idea, they want to arrest me!"

"I’ve been tricked!"

In an instant, everything became clear.

No wonder Liang Jiajia, who usually kept her distance, had suddenly initiated an invitation out of character!

No wonder Mr. Liang, whom he had never dealt with, knew he had a gun!

Probably, from the very moment he entered the restaurant, every move he made had been watched by them!

After realizing all this, days of pent-up anger in Fu Cheng ignited instantly.

He thought Liang Jiajia genuinely wanted to have a meal with him.

Instead, it was a setup to capture him!

His reasoning was lost in an instant.

He abruptly stood up from his seat, his face contorted as he bellowed, "Song Guanchao!"

Then, he reached towards his waist and grabbed his service weapon!
