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

In the night, amidst the falling snow,

Inside the speeding SUV.

Xiao Zhan said, "Director Xia, don't think too much about it. People like Chen Hongwei and Jia Fugui are a minority. We can't judge whether their choices were right or wrong, because everyone's background is something they can't choose. They have different backgrounds, so their circumstances are different, which leads to different life paths. But it's undeniable that no one has the right to deprive others of their way to pursue success."

"However, this world is divided into good and evil, right and wrong."

"You must believe that good will always prevail over evil, and justice will always be in the hands of the majority of positive people, which is why our society can function normally."

Xia Keke: "I understand the reasoning, but it's hard to accept for a while. My master has been very good to me and has given me a lot of help in both work and life and study."

"I never imagined he was Liu Shiyuan's pawn, secretly doing so many bad things, aiding and abetting evil without distinguishing right from wrong. I'm increasingly finding this world too terrifying."

"I clearly remember what my master once said to me, which has benefited me for life. It was shortly after I started working. During a mission, I made a major mistake, which led to an accidental injury or death. Of course, there was a reason for it. After reviewing and reflecting on the incident, I found the problem."

"My master talked to me privately. He was afraid that I had a problem with my mind. He said to me, 'If your ability to execute can't keep up with your understanding, then all your understanding is just a kind of mental drain, because you only think but don't do, because your ability can't keep up with your ambition.'"

He also used an analogy: "The biggest cognitive trap for those who can't make money is that they mistake input for effort and collection for ownership. In fact, the ability closest to making money is execution. Don't give your brain too much time to think about problems, but just start doing it. A rough start is actually the best start."

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "I understand why you have such strong execution skills now. It turns out you've experienced setbacks."

"Beep beep beep".

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan's phone rang.

Xiao Zhan picked up his phone and saw that it was Deng Ying calling, and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

It's already 3:30 a.m.

Deng Ying must have something urgent to say if she's calling at this hour.

Could it be that Deng Zhi has encountered another accident?

After all, Deng Zhi had recently been rushed to the People's Hospital after vomiting blood, and later went to Tanzhe Temple to seek treatment from Jueyuan...

Now that we know Jueyuan and Jia Fugui are both pawns of Liu Shiyuan, will they secretly tamper with Deng Zhi's treatment?

It's entirely possible, after all, it's no secret that Liu Shiyuan and the Deng family are sworn enemies.

Seeing that Xiao Zhan wasn't answering the phone but staring blankly at it, Xia Ke asked curiously, "Young Master Xiao, what are you thinking about? Answer the phone already!"

Xiao Zhan handed his phone to Xia Keke and said, "It's Deng Ying calling. Don't you find it strange that she's calling me at this time? Has something happened to Deng Zhi again?"

Xia Keke: "Why don't you just answer the phone and ask? It's better than you overthinking things here."

Xiao Zhan answered the phone and asked, "What's wrong, Deng Ying?"

On the other end of the phone, Deng Ying said urgently, "Brother Zhan, my brother is leading men to the Xiaotangshan Hot Spring Resort to kill Liu Shiyuan."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan felt relieved. Deng Zhi was not only unharmed, but he was also able to lead men to kill Liu Shiyuan, which meant that he was in good health.

Xiao Zhan asked, "The hot spring resort is your family's property. How did Liu Shiyuan get into the resort without an insider escorting him?"

Deng Ying didn't hide anything and said, "It was Huang Pengfei who brought Liu Shiyuan into the resort. Huang Pengfei is now my brother's man."

Xiao Zhan: "Then how did your brother find out?"

Deng Ying: "It was Huang Pengfei who called to report to my brother."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Huang Pengfei is your brother's man, yet he secretly took Liu Shiyuan to the hot spring resort and then called your brother to report it. He knew perfectly well that the Liu family and the Deng family have always been at odds. Don't you think Huang Pengfei's actions were ill-intentioned? And even suggestive of sowing discord?"

Hearing Xiao Zhan's words on the other end of the phone, Deng Ying was immediately startled, her worry deepening. She quickly said, "Brother Zhan, do you mean Huang Pengfei is causing trouble?"

Xiao Zhan: "Is there any need to say that? Huang Pengfei is definitely up to no good. Maybe he wants to please both sides, or maybe he's deliberately trying to provoke a war between the two sides so he can reap the benefits."

Deng Ying: "Then I'll call my brother now."

Xiao Zhan: "Deng Ying, don't rush to call your brother. How long has he been gone?"

Deng Ying: "It's been an hour."

Xiao Zhan frowned: "Why didn't you call me sooner?"

Deng Ying: "My brother told me before he left that if he didn't come back in two hours, I should call you. The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became. I felt very upset and confused, so I called you."

Xiao Zhan understood. It turned out that Deng Zhi understood everything. He also knew that this might be a trap set for him by Liu Shiyuan and Huang Pengfei, but he still went. Given Deng Zhi's personality, he never fought a battle he couldn't win.

So he said, "Deng Ying, don't worry, I'll go to the hot spring resort to find your brother right now."

When Deng Ying heard that Xiao Zhan had agreed to help her older brother, she was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhan! I knew you wouldn't leave me to die. I love you, Brother Zhan!"

In Deng Ying's eyes, Xiao Zhan was an invincible being...

Xiao Zhan was immediately exasperated. Deng Ying was constantly professing her love to him; he couldn't stand this blatant harassment...

Xiao Zhan hung up the phone and asked Shen Jun, who was driving, "How much longer until we reach the hot spring resort?"

Shen Jun glanced at the navigation: "Fifteen minutes left."

Xiao Zhan: "Keep it up, get there as fast as you can."

Looking at the road already covered with a layer of white snow, Shen Jun said with difficulty, "Instructor, there's snow on the ground, and now it's frozen. We can't drive too fast."

Xia Keke: "Shen Jun, drive normally. Speeding at this time is no different from suicide. You can't even protect yourself, let alone save others."

Xiao Zhan fell silent. He dialed Deng Zhi's number, but no one answered. Xiao Zhan's heart pounded again...

at the same time,

Deng Zhi led his men to Xiaotangshan Hot Spring Resort at breakneck speed, and saw Huang Pengfei and several of his men standing in the snow outside the main duty room, waiting for them.

"squeak!"

The Cullinan stopped in front of Huang Pengfei.

"brush!"

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Deng Zhi's sickly face and his murderous eyes...

Huang Pengfei quickly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Mr. Deng has arrived."

Deng Zhi asked bluntly, "Pengfei, where is the old man?"

Huang Pengfei: "I arranged for Liu Shiyuan to stay in Villa No. 18, which is the most remote location, making it convenient for us to take action."

Deng Zhi opened the car door: "Get in."

Huang Pengfei hesitated for a moment but still got into the car...

"Clang!"

The car doors slammed shut.

The loud slamming of the door startled Huang Pengfei.

An ominous premonition suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart.

It's impossible to get off the bus now.

Huang Pengfei thought of a phrase that perfectly described his current state of mind.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

All we need to do is bring Deng Zhi to Villa No. 18.

My task is now complete.

Ideally, both sides should fight to the death, resulting in mutual destruction.

Huang Pengfei had already planned that once the two sides were almost deadlocked, he would lead his men to rush in and wipe them all out.

He emerged as the ultimate winner.

"squeak."

The Cullinan stopped.

"Clang!"

The car door opened, and Deng Zhi nimbly jumped out.

Huang Pengfei then jumped off the car.

He looked up and was stunned to see Deng Zhi pointing a pistol at his head.

Huang Pengfei was terrified and his face changed drastically. He quickly asked, "Mr. Deng, please don't scare me. I'm one of your men."

"Bang."

Deng Zhi didn't give him a chance to speak and pulled the trigger directly...

"puff!"

Before Huang Pengfei could react, a scalding hot bullet pierced his head...
