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

"Xiao Zhan, where are you right now?"

During the phone call, Deng Zhi did not answer Xiao Zhan's question but instead asked a question in return.

Xiao Zhan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Zhi, just say what you need to say."

He didn't want to say too much to Deng Zhi...

Deng Zhi unexpectedly said, "You're in that abandoned warehouse in the suburbs right now, right? The warehouse at 111 Jianguo Road, am I right?"

Xiao Zhan was shocked. Deng Zhi's intelligence was truly amazing. The operation at the warehouse had just ended and they were still cleaning up the battlefield when he received the news.

Xiao Zhan had no choice but to tell the truth: "Yes, I'm in the warehouse."

Since Liu Shiyuan's warehouse has already been destroyed, it doesn't matter if we tell Deng Zhi.

Deng Zhi: "Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

Xiao Zhan looked around to make sure no one was there, and said, "Brother Zhi, just say what's on your mind. I'm all alone here."

Deng Zhi, true to form, dropped another bombshell, saying, "Xiao Zhan, I know you and Xia Keke are searching everywhere for Liu Chuanren. I know where he's hiding."

Xiao Zhan was immediately shocked. He and Xia Keke had gone to great lengths to find Liu Chuanren's hiding place, but Deng Zhi had found it so easily. Was his intelligence network even more powerful than the National Security Bureau?

Xiao Zhan immediately perked up and asked, "Where is Liu Chuanren hiding? And how did you know?"

On the other end of the phone, Deng Zhi laughed and said, "Haha, don't worry about how I know, I'll tell you if you want to know."

At this moment, Xia Keke walked over.

Xiao Zhan quickly gave Xia Keke a look, and then used lip reading to tell her.

Xia Keke immediately nodded and mouthed, "Ask Deng Zhi where Liu Chuanren is hiding?"

Xiao Zhan nodded and then said, "Brother Zhi, of course I want to know where Liu Chuanren is hiding. To be honest, we just raided the warehouse in Liu Shiyuan's chess game. This is the safe house where the pieces in Liu Shiyuan's chess game are hiding, but we didn't find any trace of Liu Chuanren."

Over the phone, Deng Zhi said with a hint of smugness, "I knew you hadn't found Liu Chuanren, that's why I called you. You probably never dreamed that Liu Chuanren was hiding in Tanzhe Temple, did you?"

Xiao Zhan exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, Liu Chuanren is hiding in Tanzhe Temple? Brother Zhi, you're not kidding, are you?"

Deng Zhi: "When have I ever joked with you?"

"Besides, how can you joke about something like this?"

"Xiao Zhan, this is something you wouldn't believe. Jia Fugui and Jueyuan are both pawns in Liu Shiyuan's game. My situation is that Jia Fugui told that old bald monk Jueyuan in advance. Damn it, no wonder I was wondering if Jueyuan was really that amazing? He could really predict that I had a hereditary disease. It turns out that it was that old guy Jia Fugui who secretly tipped him off."

Xiao Zhan was truly shocked this time.

If Jia Fugui is considered a pawn, it makes sense upon closer examination, given the immense informational value of a hospital director.

But it doesn't make sense that Abbot Jueyuan, an old monk, is also a pawn.

Monks, who are supposed to be detached from worldly affairs and have no attachment to the six senses, are willing to be controlled by others. What are they after?

Xiao Zhan said frankly, "Brother Zhi, this information is too shocking. I need to digest it. It seems that Liu Shiyuan's game is bigger than we imagined, involving a wider and deeper level. I'm afraid the entire official and business circle in the capital has been infiltrated from top to bottom. It's terrifying to think about."

On the other end of the phone, Deng Zhi said, "That's a matter for the big shots up there. Anyway, I've already told you. Whether you arrest them or not is up to you."

"goodbye."

Deng Zhi hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Xiao Zhan put down his phone and said to Xia Keke, "Deng Zhi said that Abbot Jueyuan and Jia Fugui are both pawns. Should we arrest them or not?"

Xia Keke's expression changed upon hearing this, and she said, "Xiao Zhan, it's best to consult with Director Chen about this matter. Our operation at the CS stadium unintentionally disrupted the higher-ups' plans this time, and Director Chen has already been very lenient by not blaming us. If we disrupt the higher-ups' plans again, we'll really be in deep trouble."

Xiao Zhan: "Alright, then go and ask Commander Chen for instructions."

"Xiao Zhan, what do you need me for instructions about?"

Then Chen Hongwei strode over and asked.

Xiao Zhan's body trembled as he said, "Reporting to the commander, we have discovered the identities of two more pawns. We would like to ask if you should take immediate action to eliminate them. The crucial point is that we have also found Liu Chuanren's hiding place."

Chen Hongwei asked with slight surprise, "Oh, you found Liu Chuanren's hiding place so quickly?"

Xia Keke was about to say that Deng Zhi provided the information, but Xiao Zhan stopped her with a look. Then Xiao Zhan spoke first: "Chief, it was Wang Guoyong who told me before he died."

Anyway, Wang Guoyong is already dead, so there's no way to verify the facts.

Xia Keke was somewhat confused by Xiao Zhan's intentions, thinking to herself: Why did he say it was Wang Guoyong? And why was he deliberately keeping it from Chen Hongwei? Had Xiao Zhan discovered something again?

Chen Hongwei frowned and asked, "Was it the county public security bureau chief who assassinated you?"

He had heard Xia Keke report this matter to him.

Because Xia Keke was in a hurry to mobilize helicopters to support Xiao Zhan, she had to report to Chen Hongwei and obtain his consent before she could mobilize the helicopters.

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."

Chen Hongwei stared at Xiao Zhan and asked, "Isn't he a pawn? How would he know where Liu Chuanren is hiding?"

Xiao Zhan calmly said, "According to Wang Guoyong, his identity is rather special. He is a liaison among the pawns, responsible for relaying information up and down, so he knows some secrets that are unknown to others."

Chen Hongwei raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where is Liu Chuanren hiding?"

Xiao Zhan: "Tanzhe Temple!"

Chen Hongwei frowned and said, "Tanzhe Temple? Are you sure?"

Xiao Zhan: "I'm sure, because Abbot Jueyuan of Tanzhe Temple is also one of the pawns."

Chen Hongwei asked with surprise, "Jueyuan is also a pawn?"

"And who is the other piece?"

Xiao Zhan: "Jia Fugui, the director of the People's Hospital."

Chen Hongwei exclaimed in surprise again, "Jia Fugui is also a pawn? This is unbelievable! Just how many pawns are there in Liu Shiyuan's game?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "I don't know how many chess pieces there are."

At this moment, Xia Keke asked, "Should we arrest Director Chen now?"

Chen Hongwei said in a deep voice, "This matter is of great importance and concerns the overall situation. I need to consult with the higher-ups."

After Chen Hongwei finished speaking, he walked to the side and made a phone call…

Xia Keke leaned closer to Xiao Zhan and whispered, "Why did you tell Director Chen that it was Wang Guoyong? Could it be...?"

Xiao Zhan smirked and said, "You'll find out later. Don't guess. Besides, who told you isn't really important. What's important is the accuracy of the information, isn't it?"

Xia Keke nodded. Indeed, as Xiao Zhan said, the accuracy of the intelligence was the key.

Xia Keke thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Zhan, how do you think Deng Zhi knew?"

Why did he tell us?

Xiao Zhan stated confidently, "He wants to use someone else to do his dirty work!"

Xia Keke asked in confusion, "Jueyuan and Jia Fugui have a good relationship with Deng Zhi. Not long ago, they saved Deng Zhi's life. Besides, even if they are pawns, what does it have to do with Deng Zhi? Yet Deng Zhi wants to use us to kill them."

Xiao Zhan: "It definitely harmed Deng Zhi's interests."
