The operation persisted throughout the night and by the next day, all targets listed had been apprehended.
In Mande City Prison, Su Jie sat alone in a room, watching as a convict was escorted in.
Based on the severity of their crimes, the officials and businessmen captured last night faced differing trials, with the lesser offenders condemned to toil in the mines until death.
As for those with more serious offenses, they were brought to Su Jie.
"Chief, the convict has been brought in."
A soldier from Jieke Security saluted Su Jie.
Su Jie put down the cup of fragrant tea he was holding and waved his hand, saying, "You may leave."
The Jieke Security guards stationed outside the door retreated, leaving just Su Jie and the newly escorted convict in the room.
This convict was a middle-aged man, terrified to the point that his clothes were soaked with sweat.
"Mr. Su... Mr. Su... I've been wronged, I really didn't do anything."
Upon seeing Su Jie, the man was desperate to explain.
