Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

in the sun,

Inside a speeding Maybach.

Xiao Zhan took out his wireless earphones, a cold look appearing on his face. He had heard Lan Xue's voice clearly when she was on the phone with Deng Zhi.

Xiao Zhan chose to speak with Lan Xue in the small conference room to conveniently place a miniature listening device under the conference table. As expected, Lan Xue was indeed Deng Zhi's person. However, Xiao Zhan learned from their conversation that Lan Xue was being coerced by Deng Zhi…

Xiao Zhan smiled and muttered to himself, "Deng Zhi, as expected, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Giving me the company was a trap you set for me. Well then, I'll see how you dig a pit for me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jun said while driving, "Instructor, I knew Deng Zhi wasn't that kind-hearted. Giving you a company worth hundreds of millions just like that, he's really up to no good. He's already a dead man, yet he's still courting death like this, does he want to die even faster?"

Xiao Zhan sneered, "He's not that he doesn't want to die sooner, but he's afraid that after he dies I'll settle scores with the Deng family. He's gone to such lengths to dig this trap because he wants to protect himself."

Shen Jun asked, puzzled, "If they're so afraid of being purged, why don't he and the rest of the Deng family leave now?"

Xiao Zhan: "Do you think Deng Zhi didn't want to? He had no choice but to do it. First, his illness suddenly flared up. Second, Old Master Deng had just retired to the second line and it would take another two or three years before he could fully retire. During this period, none of Deng's direct relatives could go out. Even if they went abroad for personal reasons, they had to report it and return within a specified period."

"Deng Zhi has so many assets in his hands, it will take time to launder them out. Moreover, now that I control the USDT system, he dares not launder too much at once. He can only launder small amounts of money in batches, for fear of being discovered."

Shen Jun asked, puzzled, "Instructor, since Lan Xue is Deng Zhi's woman, why are you keeping her around? Isn't that like leaving a time bomb next to your wife?"

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Shen Jun, it's just like when we're on a mission in the army. Even if we know the enemy is prepared, even if they've dug a pit for us, does that mean we shouldn't carry out the mission?"

Shen Jun seemed to understand and said, "Instructor, you're using their own tactics against them."

Xiao Zhan: "It's still the same old saying: when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. He has his clever plans, and I have my countermeasures. It's a matter of who has the better strategy in the end. Besides, if we don't capture Lan Xue, how will we know what Deng Zhi is up to?"

"Beep beep beep".

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan's phone rang. Seeing that it was Xia Keke calling, he immediately answered and jokingly asked, "What are your orders, Director Xia?"

On the other end of the phone, Xia Keke said, "Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong? Are you afraid Huanhuan will misunderstand us?"

"Ahem!"

Xiao Zhan coughed twice and said, "Shuanghuan, what are you misunderstanding? We have a pure friendship like revolutionary comrades, and we're even comrades-in-arms who have fought to the death together."

Xia Keke continued to mock, "Don't give me that. You're getting better and better at sweet-talking now. Who knows how many innocent girls you've fooled behind my back?"

Xiao Zhan was immediately speechless and said, "Director Xia, if we keep talking like this, I'm going to become a rapist and flower thief. If you have something to say, say it; otherwise, I'm hanging up."

Xia Ke saw that she had teased Liu Yiran enough, so she decided to stop while she was ahead and said, "Last night, Liu Yiran's company was seized overnight, and all her assets were wiped out. After more than ten years of hard work, she was back to square one. Liu Yiran couldn't take the blow and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot and was rushed to the People's Hospital for emergency treatment."

Xiao Zhan sneered, "Liu Yiran? Isn't she Qin Hanwen's still-living first wife? Qin Hanwu's sister-in-law, the eldest daughter of the Liu family, with such a powerful background, who would dare to mess with her behind her back?"

Xia Keke: "What do you think?"

Xiao Zhan: "Who could have guessed that?"

"It is said that Liu Yiran used to rely on the Liu family's backing, and she was extremely high-profile in her actions and ruthless in her business dealings, which must have offended a lot of people."

Xia Keke: "Forget it, you wouldn't guess anyway. To be honest, I couldn't believe it when I got the news."

Xiao Zhan: "That's unexpected."

Xia Keke: "Boss Qin and Deng Zhi first collaborated with Liu Yiran as an agent of a world-renowned brand, designing a high-end 'pig butchering scam.' After Liu Yiran was completely trapped, the agency suddenly disappeared. The brand company immediately called the police, and Liu Yiran was completely wiped out, her more than ten years of hard work destroyed in an instant."

Xiao Zhan didn't care about Liu Yiran's life or death; he only cared about how Boss Qin was cooperating with Deng Zhi.

So he asked, "Aren't Qin Hanwen and Deng Zhi mortal enemies? How come they're cooperating against Liu Yiran?"

"I can understand Qin Hanwen's actions against Liu Yiran. After all, Liu Yiran betrayed her husband and tried to kill him. Anyone would want revenge in that situation."

Xia Keke: "According to intelligence analysis, their cooperation against Liu Yiran is mainly for your sake."

Xiao Zhan exclaimed in surprise, "For me? What the hell does this have to do with me?"

Xia Keke: "Of course there is. According to the information I have, the reason why Deng Zhi helped Qin Hanwen is to get Qin Hanwen to help Deng Ying deal with you. Deng Ying is in the open, and Qin Hanwen is in the dark, so they can kill you on two fronts, one in the open and one in the dark."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "How do you know so much?"

Hehehe!

Xia Keke chuckled a few times and said, "I'm a national security officer. There's almost nothing you can hide from me if you want to know something."

Xiao Zhan: "Do you have a mole within Deng Zhi's inner circle?"

Xia Keke laughed and said, "Young Master Xiao, you're breaking the rules. Don't talk nonsense, and don't make wild guesses."

"I'm hanging up now, I have to go to a meeting."

Xiao Zhan stared blankly at the bustling streets outside the car window.

suddenly,

"Beep beep beep".

My phone rang again. I saw that the caller ID showed it was Director Bai from Chaoyang Detention Center.

Xiao Zhan immediately had a bad feeling and quickly answered the phone, asking, "Director Bai, what's the matter?"

Over the phone, Director Bai said urgently, "Young Master Xiao, something terrible has happened! Qin Guang and Zhang Dafa got into a fight in the prison for some unknown reason, and they both died in the end."

Xiao Zhan exclaimed in astonishment, "What?! This kind of thing actually happened? How are you managing your cells? How could you let two key suspects die together? This is a serious dereliction of duty."

Director Bai: "It was indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of our detention center staff. Young Master Xiao, how should this matter be handled?"

Xiao Zhan said irritably, "Don't touch the body yet. Protect the scene and wait for me to arrive."

Director Bai: "Yes, Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Zhan hung up the phone and said to Shen Jun, "Go to Chaoyang Detention Center."

Shen Jun: "Yes."

He immediately turned the car onto the main road.

"Beep beep beep!"

Just then, Xia Keke called. After Xiao Zhan answered, Xia Keke said directly, "Xiao Zhan, I just received news that Qin Guang and Zhang Dafa died under suspicious circumstances in the prison cell."

Xiao Zhan: "I just received a call from Director Bai and I'm on my way to the detention center."

Xia Keke: "I'm on my way too. Let's talk when we meet."

Xiao Zhan put down his phone and thought to himself, "Who killed Qin Guang and Zhang Dafa? Their survival is very disadvantageous to Qin Hanwu."

"Could it be that Emperor Qin Shi Huang sent someone to kill them?"

"No, even if Qin Hanwu were stupid, he wouldn't kill Qin Guang and Zhang Dafa at this time. That would be like inviting trouble."

"Who could have done it?"

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan remembered someone.

Boss Qin.
