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

at this time

in the room,

Qin Hanwen looked at the furious Hong Tao and said helplessly, "Boss, you've misunderstood me. I haven't gotten involved with Xiao Zhan, nor have I betrayed you or Mr. Hong."

Hong Tao continued incredulously, "If there were no traitor, Xiao Zhan couldn't have found this place so quickly and caught me red-handed. You are the traitor. You put a tracking device on yourself to deliberately confuse the public and cover up your crime to clear yourself of suspicion."

"It's a pity that I realized it too late."

"Qin Hanwen, how can you do this to your teacher?"

Qin Hanwen shook his head and offered no further explanation.

Because he knew that Hong Tao was convinced that he was the traitor, and that he had cooperated with Xiao Zhan. He was now in a difficult position to defend himself, and even if he spoke, Hong Tao would not believe him, so he might as well keep quiet.

When Xia Keke heard Hong Tao say that Qin Hanwen was a traitor and was cooperating with Xiao Zhan, she was momentarily stunned...

So he looked at Xiao Zhan and asked, "What happened?"

Xiao Zhan was not about to let such a golden opportunity slip by, so he smiled calmly and said mysteriously, "Hehe! Infernal Affairs."

Qin Hanwen: "..."

Hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Hong Tao became even more convinced of his guess. He gritted his teeth and roared, "Qin Hanwen, Xiao Zhan has already admitted it. Do you still want to deny it? You are a real piece of trash. The master treated you so well, raising you like a son-in-law. Over the past twenty years, the master has used so many resources and money on you, and in the end, you betrayed him. You are an ungrateful wretch, worse than a pig or a dog, an ungrateful bastard. You will die a horrible death and get your retribution sooner or later."

Don't let Hong Tao's age fool you; he can curse people with a variety of unique insults.

Qin Hanwen was so miserable!

Whether it's an undercover operation or not, he knows best, but Hong Tao won't listen to any explanations now...

He secretly admired Xiao Zhan's ability to seize opportunities. With just three words, "Infernal Affairs," Xiao Zhan instantly broke the defenses of the seasoned Hong Tao. They say old ginger is spicier, but Qin Hanwen no longer believed that. Young ginger can be very spicy, not only spicy but also poisonous, capable of making someone lose their mind instantly...

Xiao Zhan instructed Shen Jun, "Take Hong Tao away."

Shen Jun responded, "Yes."

Then he stepped forward, grabbed Hong Tao's arm, and said, "Let's go. You'd better behave yourself, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Hong Tao suddenly swung his arm, shaking off Shen Jun's hand, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Xiao Zhan, who had been watching him closely, stepped in front of Hong Tao and grabbed Hong Tao's chin with lightning speed, squeezing it hard. Hong Tao's chin hurt, and he naturally opened his mouth.

Xiao Zhan reached his left hand into Hong Tao's mouth, and with a sudden burst of force, pulled out a gleaming gold inlay.

Xiao Zhan sneered, "Old man, you still want to commit suicide? You won't even get the chance to die."

The gold tooth lay in Xiao Zhan's palm, with a hole in the middle containing a tiny capsule—potassium cyanide. If one bit into it, death would occur within seconds…

When Hong Tao realized that his suicide plot had been exposed and thwarted by Xiao Zhan, he instantly lost all his energy and spirit, his body hunching over like a deflated balloon…

Xiao Zhan's movements were so fast that no one present could react in time...

Shen Jun was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. If the person committed suicide in his hands, how could he explain it to Xiao Zhan?

Shen Jun cursed angrily, "Damn it, you old bastard, you still have a backup plan."

Then he took the handcuffs from Zhang Guoqiang and handcuffed Hong Tao, shouting sternly, "Old man, if you dare to cause trouble again, I'll break all 206 bones in your body one by one, and then let you watch as I put them back together."

Upon hearing this, Hong Tao shuddered involuntarily, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, young people these days are really ruthless, breaking bones at the drop of a hat, and you want me to watch it? How am I supposed to watch it then? It'll hurt like hell."

"Young people these days have absolutely no sense of martial ethics."

"Why!"

Hong Tao sighed, staring fiercely at Qin Hanwen, and said with great resentment, "I've hunted eagles my whole life, and in the end, an eagle pecked out my eyes. What retribution!"

Shen Jun shouted sternly, "Old man, if you keep expressing your feelings, believe me, I'll give you another set of the Lightning Five-Strike Whip to see how it tastes."

Hong Tao is over sixty years old and long past the age of fighting and killing. He can still play some tricks and schemes now, but it's best to forget about violence, lest he break his old bones apart.

Hong Tao was taken away.

Xia Keke said impatiently, "Xiao Zhan, Hong Tao is gone, now you can talk, right?"

Xiao Zhan said to Xia Keke, "Let's talk in the car and leave it to the local police."

Qin Hanwen could only manage a wry smile; he was now in a completely hopeless situation—even if it wasn't shit, it was still shit.

At this moment, Ling Xiao arrived with a group of police officers.

Ling Xiao stepped forward and saluted Xiao Zhan, saying, "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the two deceased outside have been investigated and found to be retired members of the ZY Guard Regiment."

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "Director Ling, this matter is of great importance and is classified as top secret. No one may borrow or disclose the investigation files of any of the involved personnel without my permission. Anyone who violates this rule will be punished for treason."

Ling Xiao's expression hardened as he replied, "Yes."

Xiao Zhan then said to Qin Hanwen, "Boss Qin, I'm taking you to see someone."

Qin Hanwen asked in surprise, "Who are you going to see?"

Xiao Zhan smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out when the time comes."

Xia Keke was also completely confused, but she couldn't ask, so she had to keep quiet for now.

So the group quickly went downstairs.

The group got into the car.

Xia Keke drove the car herself.

Xiao Zhan and Qin Hanwen sat in the back seat.

Shen Jun and Zhang Guoqiang, along with two team members, escorted Hong Tao and followed Xiao Zhan's car towards No. 14 East Chang'an Street...

at this time,

Although it was well past closing time, the office building of the Ministry of State Security at No. 14 East Chang'an Street was still brightly lit and bustling with people. The atmosphere was particularly tense in the office of Executive Vice Minister Chen Hongwei.

"Snapped!"

Chen Hongwei slammed his hand on the table and angrily rebuked Wang Meng, who was standing opposite him, "What kind of work have you done? I told you to control the situation and prevent a large-scale bloodshed, but you went on a killing spree, killing without restraint, causing so many deaths. The public's complaint and reporting hotline has been overwhelmed, and several big shots from above have called to inquire about this matter."

Wang Meng's face was so gloomy it could drip ice water. His sinister eyes blinked slyly a few times as he said, "Commander Chen, the situation was completely out of control without firing shots. Besides, we were fighting Xiao Zhan for someone. If we didn't kill him before Xiao Zhan caught him, things would go terribly wrong."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hongwei's expression changed, and he asked in a low voice, "Did the master tell you to do it?"

Wang Meng didn't hide anything and said, "Yes, the master noticed that Qin Hanwu was going to make a move against Qin Hanwen, and also learned that Xiao Zhan was planning to secretly arrest the two Qin brothers. So he asked me to find an opportunity to kill Qin Hanwu, so that the threat to Qin Hanwen could be eliminated, and Xiao Zhan could not gain anything."

Chen Hongwei thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know how Liu Chuanren died?"

Wang Meng shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Just as Chen Hongwei was about to continue speaking, his secretary walked in quickly from outside, looking nervous, and reported, "Minister Chen, Xia Keke has brought Xiao Zhan to see you."

Chen Hongwei's expression froze. He looked up at the clock on the wall and said, "It's past three in the morning. What do they want from me?"

Secretary: "I asked what it was about? Xia Keke said she has something very important to report to you in person."

Chen Hongwei pinched the bridge of his nose and said in a deep voice, "Let them in."

Secretary: "Yes."

Then he turned around and went out to lead the people.

Chen Hongwei pointed to the lounge next door and said to Wang Meng, "Go hide inside. If I slam the table and smash cups, you rush out and kill Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke."

"Remember, you must be ruthless and decisive when you strike."

Wang Meng's expression changed, and he said in a low voice, "It's Commander Chen."
