“I had countless ways to kill you, but I chose this method just to complete the mission. You should be grateful.”

Ma Jun didn't quite understand what Huo Wenyao was saying, but that wasn't the point now.

"What can I do to get rid of you? I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person."

Hearing Ma Jun's words, Huo Wenyao found it somewhat amusing.

"If you put yourself in my shoes, would you give me a chance?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Jun fell silent. He would not let Huo Wenyao go as long as there was a sliver of an opportunity. Now that the roles were reversed, how could Huo Wenyao possibly let him go?

"Do we really have to fight to the death? At worst, we'll all die together, and I can even take you down with me."

Ma Jun looked at Huo Wenyao as if he were insane and said loudly.

But all he got in return was a dismissive smile from Huo Wenyao.

"To die together? You dare not?!"

At this moment, Ma Jun felt quite ridiculous. He had never taken Huo Wenyao seriously, but now he had ended up like this.

Perhaps provoking Huo Wenyao from the very beginning was an extremely wrong decision.

If Huo Wenyao lets him go, then Ma Jun can simply go and guard the reservoir. Although the outlying islands are remote, at least he can retain his police identity.

But if Huo Wenyao were to accuse him regardless of the consequences, Ma Jun would likely face imprisonment and never have a chance to rise again.

The only way to save him now is to obtain Huo Wenyao's forgiveness, but judging from Huo Wenyao's attitude, the chances of this are almost zero.

The police officers who used to fear him now all keep their distance from him, afraid of being implicated.

Only then did Ma Jun realize what it meant to be forgotten once someone leaves. His fate had been sealed, and severe punishment awaited him.

"You knew from the beginning that I would target you? So you used Lian Haodong as bait to lure me in."

Ma Jun, on the other hand, calmed down and sat opposite Huo Wenyao. He took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and began to smoke.

Unlike before, he handed Huo Wenyao a cigarette as well and lit it himself.

Huo Wenyao glanced at Ma Jun, but did not react to his sudden action. His expression remained as calm as ever, revealing nothing of his inner thoughts.

Before Huo Wenyao could speak, Ma Jun continued:

"I must say, you do have the potential to be a tyrant. Perhaps one day, you really will be in control of the entire port..."

When he truly looked into his own heart, Ma Jun had to admit that Huo Wenyao was indeed dazzling.

"Then thank you for your kind words, Sir Ma."

Huo Wenyao exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled.

"I know your plans. I've studied you. You must have already figured out how to maximize your profits."

"The police department is going to have to spend a lot of money again, haha, but it's funny, I was the one who made all of this happen."

"By the way, Lian Haodong was also one of your pawns, wasn't he? Lian Haolong kept trying to get me to release his brother, but I didn't agree. You probably already knew that Lian Haolong would eventually come after you, because only you have the authority to negotiate with the police."

When the fog cleared and the light appeared, everything became clear. Ma Jun was not a fool, and after understanding all the key points, his gaze towards Huo Wenyao became somewhat respectful.

"It's no wonder I fell into your trap."

Ma Jun gave a bitter smile. He no longer had the arrogant demeanor he used to have. Now he looked like a defeated rooster, his face full of dejection.

Ma Jun stopped talking, took off his police badge and shoulder insignia, and then took out his sidearm and placed it on the table.

"Is Officer Ma finally revealing his true intentions?"

Huo Wenyao glanced at the pistol on the table, looked at Ma Jun and said with a smile, without the slightest fear in his eyes.

“Defeat is defeat. I, Ma Jun, have my own pride and would not resort to such methods to deal with you. It would be of no benefit to me to attack you now. I am not that stupid.”
