## History

### Season 3

After the shooting, Stabler talks to Quan who forgot to tell him that he was replacing the security. Lee then tells Stabler that Quan is his biggest campaign donor before Lee tells Stabler that Jennifer is out of surgery. Later, after Stabler meets with Lee to tell him that Jennifer was the target, Lee tells Quan and Stabler that he is dropping out of the race, while Quan supports Lee. Later, after Mei was shot, Stabler and Bell realise that Quan was meant to get Mei safe housing. Meanwhile, Quan speaks at Thurman's press conference, claiming that Lee has withdrawn and that he will run instead. Stabler then gets a phone call from Jet who tells him that an LLC implicated in human trafficking had made a contribution to Lee's campaign and that Quan was on the board of directors. Stabler then informs Bell and they believe that Quan had ordered Jennifer to be shot. When Stabler asked to speak to Quan in private, Stabler then tells Quan that he knows he ordered the shooting and makes a promise that he will go down for it. (OC: "Chinatown")

### Arrest

Chang and Bell give the task force more information about Quan, especially about the fact that he is receiving more trafficked victims that night. Later, after Reyes finds footage of victims being put in another truck, the coast guard meets with Quan, claiming that he is unhappy that he had to cover for Quan instead of just not getting involved. The coast guard then blackmails Quan into giving him more money but Quan walks away from him and then the trafficker shoots the coast guard and kills him. Later, Quan enters the 4th Precinct and claims that Stabler has been harassing him and when he's elected, he will put an end to it. A few moments later, Quan speaks to a trafficker and says that he doesn't want to take risks while the detectives are investigating him. Later, Quan announces that he will be donating money to the 4th Precinct so they can stop the human trafficking. The task force then realise that Quan is trying to shut them down. Bell then comes up with an idea to get the money from Quan. Stabler then sends Wen into the location while wired up. Wen continuously reports to the cops what is happening before Quan arrives in the area. Quan then calls someone claiming that they have a problem. Quan then tells one of his goons to get everything out and he starts packing up. After the cops raid the area, Quan goes missing while the victims are taken to a truck. Reyes and Whelan manage to stop them and arrest the trafficker. Quan then gets found and arrested, claiming that his friends at One Police Plaza will not stand for this. It is revealed that Quan is being charged with 15 counts but Stabler exclaims that they will only celebrate once Quan is convicted. (OC: "Blood Ties")
