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

"How could this happen?"

"Wasn't everything fine before?"

"Didn't the doctor say your brother's condition is under control for now?"

Xiao Zhan asked, puzzled, over the phone.

Deng Ying: "I don't know what happened either, Brother Zhan. Before my brother went into the emergency room, he repeatedly told me to let you know."

Xiao Zhan: "Okay, I'll be right there."

Xiao Zhan had just finished his call with Deng Ying.

Zhang Guoqiang handed over a wireless headset and said, "Young Master Xiao, Director Xia wants to speak with you."

Xiao Zhan took the headset and put it in his ear. He immediately heard the roar of the helicopter. At this moment, Xia Keke's clear and capable voice rang out: "Xiao Zhan, I have forced the three cars chasing you to stop on the highway. Now bring Zhang Guoqiang and the others to arrest Wang Guoyong. They are about four or five hundred meters ahead of the service area. I will provide you with air cover."

Xiao Zhan replied, "Okay, I'll be right there."

Then she said to Zhang Guoqiang, "Director Xia wants us to go over there now. She has already used a helicopter to force Wang Guoyong and his group to stop their car."

Zhang Guoqiang immediately waved and called out, "Bring the car over here."

Immediately, someone drove up and a SUV stopped in front of Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan and Zhang Guoqiang jumped in and sped off against traffic towards the exit of the service area…

Two SUVs were following closely behind...

Xiao Zhan saw the helicopter hovering in the sky in the distance.

Two minutes later,

When Xiao Zhan and his group arrived at the scene, they found a dozen men kneeling by the roadside next to three cars that were emitting smoke, with sniper rifles pointed at them from a helicopter.

Xiao Zhan saw two corpses lying by the roadside, clearly killed by Xia Keke for not cooperating.

That finally calmed these guys down.

Helicopters attack ground targets.

It's a piece of cake.

Zhang Guoqiang ordered in a deep voice, "Cuff them all."

"yes!"

More than a dozen national security officers rushed forward...

Xiao Zhan walked up to a man.

Xiao Zhan remembered that this man had been following Wang Guoyong, and asked, "Where is Wang Guoyong?"

The man, not daring to hide anything, said, "Director Wang is at the place where the first car accident happened."

Xiao Zhan immediately jumped into the car and said to Zhang Guoqiang, "Go catch that son of a bitch, Wang Guoyong."

Upon hearing this through the earpiece, Xia Keke immediately ordered the helicopter to fly over. When Xiao Zhan arrived at the crash site in his car, all that remained was a charred corpse and a pile of scrap metal; there was no sign of Wang Guoqiang anywhere.

Xiao Zhan said angrily, "We let Wang Guoyong get away."

At this moment, Xia Keke landed the helicopter on the highway. Xiao Zhan jumped into the helicopter and said, "Take me to the People's Hospital. Deng Zhi is dying."

Xia Keke asked in surprise, "What happened to Deng Zhi?"

at the same time!

In the Qin family manor, Qin Hanwu watched as Qing Xuanzi inserted needles into a paper figure bearing the name Deng Zhi and asked, "How long will it take for this to work?"

"puff!"

Qing Xuanzi muttered incantations and inserted a long steel needle into the paper man's heart. He then said, "Patriarch, today is the seventh day. If nothing unexpected happens, Deng Zhi should experience discomfort due to the curse. If his resistance is weak, he may experience heart pain and vomiting blood."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hanwu's eyes lit up, and he asked with delight, "Does it really have such an effect?"

Qing Xuanzi said proudly, "Of course, this is a unique curse technique of our sect. I heard from our elders before that once the paper doll curse technique has been in effect for forty-nine days, even a great immortal would be unable to save you."

"Beep beep beep".

Suddenly, Qin Hanwu's phone rang.

Qin Hanwu, seeing that it was his subordinate sent to gather information, answered the call and asked, "Have you found anything?"

On the other end of the phone, the subordinate said in a low voice, "Master, we've been keeping watch near Deng Zhi's place. Just fifteen minutes ago, Deng Zhi suddenly vomited blood and fell ill, and was rushed to the People's Hospital for emergency treatment. I just saw the hospital issue a critical condition notice, and Deng Zhi is still in the emergency room."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hanwu was overjoyed and said, "You two keep a close eye on things. Notify me immediately of any unusual activity."

"Understood, Master."

Qin Hanwu put down his phone and looked at Qing Xuanzi, saying, "Master, congratulations, your curse has succeeded."

Qing Xuanzi said smugly, "Patriarch, you can rest assured now."

Qin Hanwu blinked and said, "The paper doll curse is so effective, make another paper doll for Qin Hanwen."

Upon hearing this, Qing Xuanzi did not respond immediately, but instead wore an expression of unease.

Qin Hanwu frowned and asked, "What's wrong, sir? Are you unwilling? Or do you have some kind of request? Just tell me."

Qing Xuanzi hesitated for a moment and said, "Patriarch, it's not that I'm unwilling, but my cultivation is still shallow. I don't have enough skill to make two paper figures at the same time. I might end up neglecting one and neglecting the other. If the effect is not good, it will backfire. It's better to concentrate on making Deng Zhi first. As long as Deng Zhi is effective, then dealing with Qin Hanwen will be just a matter of time."

Qin Hanwu thought about it and agreed, saying, "That's right, then you should focus all your efforts on making this paper figure of Deng Zhi."

"I've already sent people to secretly investigate the place where Qin Hanwen might be hiding, which you previously deduced."

"puff!"

Qing Xuanzi inserted the last steel needle into the paper figure's throat. After dissipating the power from his body, he said, "Patriarch, Deng Zhi has already been affected and will soon die. He is no longer a threat."

"Patriarch, I heard that Liu Chuanren, the eldest grandson of the Liu family, was released from prison for some reason and is now launching a revenge campaign against the Xiao and Deng families. So, there's no need to rush things. Perhaps we won't even need to take action."

Qin Hanwen: "I've heard about it too, but I'm curious why Liu Chuanren was released? It seems there's more to this than meets the eye."

At this moment, a bodyguard walked in and respectfully said, "Master, there is a man outside who claims to be named Liu Chuanren requesting an audience."

Qin Hanwen was startled and asked, "Are you sure the person who came is named Liu Chuanren?"

Bodyguard: "Yes, Master. The other party claims to be Liu Chuanren, the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Liu family."

Qin Hanwen looked at Qing Xuanzi: "That's strange, why did Liu Chuanren come to see me? My Qin family and the Liu family have never had any dealings."

It's not that the two families had no connection; rather, the Liu family was once one of the top wealthy families in the capital and would never bother with a third-rate family like the Qin family.

To put it bluntly, the Liu family doesn't even associate with the Qin family.

Qing Xuanzi pondered for a moment and said, "Patriarch, given Liu Chuanren's previous arrogance, he would never have come to visit in person. The only reason he is coming to see you now is to form an alliance with you."

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

"Our discord with Deng Zhi must have spread throughout the upper echelons of Beijing society. The Liu family's status is now vastly different from what it used to be. In addition, with Liu Shiyuan dead, Liu Chuanren is in dire need of help. In my opinion, the head of the family should meet with Liu Chuanren and see what he has to say. As long as the conditions offered by the other party are generous enough, I think it is better to stick together than to fight alone."

Qin Hanwu thought for a moment, then grinned and said, "Hahaha, the advisor's analysis makes a lot of sense."

"Liu Chuanren usually acts all high and mighty when he sees me. Now that he's condescended to come to me, what else could he want but to form an alliance against Deng Zhi? Why not take this opportunity to squeeze more benefits out of him?"

"Someone, please invite the guest to sit in the living room."

Bodyguard: "It's the head of the family."

at the same time,

Outside the emergency room of the People's Hospital, Deng Ying was extremely anxious, constantly making phone calls...

She was notifying all of Deng's relatives in Beijing to come to the hospital to see Deng Zhi one last time...

Because the hospital just issued another critical condition notice...
