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

"Is your relationship with Jueyuan just a simple business partnership?"

Xiao Zhan stared at Jia Fugui and asked, noticing that Jia Fugui's expression didn't seem like he was lying.

With a serious expression, Jia Fugui said, "Yes, we are in a cooperative relationship."

Xia Keke and Xiao Zhan exchanged a glance, then followed up on Jia Fugui's question by asking, "So what kind of cooperative relationship do you have?"

Jia Fugui spoke eloquently: "You don't know this, but the patients at the Capital People's Hospital come from all over the country. Some of them die without ever finding the cause of their illness, or even if it is found, there is no cure. There is a saying that the end of science is metaphysics. Often, these people are single-mindedly focused on curing their illness and wanting to live, and they are not short of money. When I encounter such people, I will ask the patient or their family to go to Tanzhe Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. Tanzhe Temple is a royal temple, and some people believe in it very much."

"At this time, Jueyuan would step in. For example, he would first have the patient draw lots and ask for divination, and then he would recite Buddhist scriptures and provide spiritual comfort to the patient. Of course, traditional Chinese medicine treatment was mixed in. In addition, I would tell Jueyuan the basic situation of these patients in advance. Jueyuan would basically prescribe the right medicine for the symptoms. Anyway, after the whole process, I could receive red envelopes ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, which are also called incense money. If I encountered big bosses and rich people, they would occasionally donate millions or tens of millions of yuan. Then I would take a cut."

"Young Master Xiao just asked me about the 500,000 yuan I got back from Jueyuan. It was because I introduced Deng Zhi to Jueyuan. I just didn't expect that Deng Zhi and Jueyuan were already acquaintances. After Deng Zhi was cured, he donated 3 million yuan to Tanzhe Temple. Jueyuan only gave me a 500,000 yuan kickback. I'm telling the truth. If I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning."

Xiao Zhan: "So you're saying you and Jueyuan are colluding to make money off patients, or rather, making money off the dying."

Jia Fugui nodded.

Xia Keke said angrily, "Jia Fugui, as the director of the People's Hospital, how could you do such a despicable thing? Aren't you afraid that the patients who went bankrupt trying to get treatment and then died without getting cured will come looking for you in the middle of the night?"

Jia Fugui gave a disdainful look and said, "I've never believed in ghosts or gods, and no dead person has ever come to me!"

"Smack."

Xia Keke could no longer bear it and slapped Jia Fugui across the face.

"Um!"

Jia Fugui was so slapped that he saw stars, and he covered his face, looking at Xia Keke with a terrified expression.

Xiao Zhan didn't want to waste time arguing with Jia Fugui about these useless things. This kind of matter wasn't his concern, and he didn't have the energy to deal with such trivial matters.

His face darkened, and he asked, "Jia Fugui, who did you give your apartment in the hospital staff housing to?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Fugui's pupils contracted instantly. He thought to himself, "Damn it, I'm doomed. So Xiao Zhan came for Liu Qiang. I thought it was for Jueyuan's 500,000."

"thump."

Jia Fugui's knees buckled, and he knelt down in front of Xiao Zhan again, saying, "Young Master Xiao, I'll give the house to Liu Qiang."

Xiao Zhan said coldly, "Jia Fugui, your knees are really weak, you're used to kneeling, aren't you? Are you sure you're only letting Liu Qiang stay here?"

Jia Fugui hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "A few days ago, Liu Qiang came to me and asked me to let him stay in my house for a few days. He also told me not to tell anyone about this and not to go into the room to check."

"Could it be someone else besides Liu Qiang?"

Xiao Zhan didn't hide anything and said, "Liu Shiyuan also lives in this apartment. You really didn't know?"

Jia Fugui looked surprised and said, "I really don't know."

Xiao Zhan took out his phone, pulled up a photo of a death certificate, and handed the phone to Jia Fugui, asking, "Did you issue this death certificate?"

Jia Fugui took the phone and saw it was Liu Shiyuan's death certificate. His expression changed drastically, and cold sweat poured down his face...

At this moment, Xiao Shao released a terrifying killing intent. Jia Fugui was so frightened that his heart pounded like a drum. He said tremblingly, "I'll confess honestly. Liu Qiang made me do all of this. He asked me to inject Liu Shiyuan with an imported drug that can instantly stop a person's breathing and heartbeat, putting them into a state of suspended animation..."

Xiao Zhan shouted sternly, "Jia Fugui, I didn't expect you to be so cunning. I admit I misjudged you before. I'll give you one last chance. Tell me everything you know, or you won't live to see the sun rise tomorrow morning."

Xia Keke swiftly pulled out a pistol.

"Snap!"

She yanked the bolt back, chambered a bullet, raised the pistol, and pointed it at Jia Fugui's head. Her voice was as cold as ice. "Jia Fugui," she said, "I don't have time to waste here talking nonsense with you. If you dare to utter another lie, I'll blow your pig's head off."

Jia Fugui turned pale with fright and kowtowed repeatedly, begging, "Director Xia, please don't shoot! I'll talk, I'll talk!"

Xia Keke got really angry and shouted, "Stop kowtowing, you bastard! Tell me who the pieces on Liu Shiyuan's chessboard are!"

Jia Fugui raised his head and said, "Abbot Jueyuan of Tanzhe Temple and Chen Hongwei of the Ministry of State Security are the chariots, Liu Qiang and Hong Tao are the advisors, Xu Jiaying and Wang Guoyong are the horses, Liu Haitao and his son Liu Chuanren are the elephants, Qin Hanwen and I are the cannons, and Huang Pengfei, Li Chaobing, Ren Jiaguang, Wang Meng, and Su Haihua are the soldiers."

Xiao Zhan quickly calculated in his mind that the chessboard was exactly full.

Xia Keke exclaimed, "I never imagined that Li Chaobing was just a soldier. He's a bureau chief at the division level!"

Xiao Zhan: "I didn't expect Huang Pengfei to be a soldier. This is beyond my expectations. The old man has been hiding his true intentions quite well."

"What surprised me even more was Xu Jiaying. Such a big boss is just a soldier, and he's the son-in-law of the Deng family. How could he get involved with Liu Shiyuan? Hehe, let's see how Xu Jiaying pretends to be crazy and pitiful this time."

suddenly,

Xiao Zhan was suddenly startled, remembering something.

He stared into Jia Fugui's eyes and asked, "Jia Fugui, I know you're just a pawn on Hong Tao's side, how do you know about Liu Qiang's chariots, horses, cannons, elephants, advisors, and soldiers?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Fugui's expression changed drastically. He realized he had accidentally let something slip, but words spoken are like water spilled; they cannot be taken back.

"brush."

Xia Keke pressed the pistol directly against Jia Fugui's forehead and shouted sharply, "Speak up, or I'll shoot!"

"Why!"

Jia Fugui sighed and said, "I'm not only Hong Tao's cannon, but I'm also in charge of the logistics and medical support for the entire chessboard. In order to facilitate the treatment of our own people in an emergency or to prevent these people from revealing their identities after being injured, I will deliberately kill these people."

"Liu Shiyuan told me the list of everyone."

It turned out to be the case.

That explanation seems plausible.

Xiao Zhan: "We didn't manage to catch Liu Shiyuan and Liu Qiang in your family compound room just now."

"Do you know where they could possibly escape to?"

Xiao Zhan paused for a moment and then said, "I'm warning you, this is your only chance to live. Don't doubt my determination."

Jia Fugui thought for a moment and said, "I know a place where Liu Shiyuan should be hiding. When I was examining Liu Shiyuan, I accidentally saw him looking at a message on his phone, which was about Xiaotangshan Hot Spring Resort."

Xiao Zhan asked in surprise, "Isn't Xiaotangshan Hot Spring Resort Deng Zhi's property? Liu Shiyuan and the Deng family have always been at odds."

"How did he end up hiding there?"

Xia Keke frowned and said, "Often, the most dangerous places are the safest; that's called the darkest place under the lamp."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "That makes sense."

Then he called out to the door, "Zhang Guoqiang, come in."

Zhang Guoqiang pushed open the door and entered: "Commander-in-Chief, please give instructions."

Xiao Zhan: "Take your men and escort Jia Fugui back."

Zhang Guoqiang: "Yes."

Xiao Zhan said to Xia Keke, "Let's go to the Xiaotangshan Hot Spring Resort to meet Liu Shiyuan. That old man really knows how to hide."
