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

at this time,

Flames shot into the sky from the top floor of Pengrun Building, thick smoke filled the air, and the scene was a gruesome sight with countless torn and mangled bodies and limbs scattered everywhere...

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

The building's fire and smoke alarm systems activated automatically, and the fire sprinkler system activated its automatic fire suppression system...

When Zhang Guoqiang and his men rushed up the stairs to the top floor, they were stunned by the horrific scene before them…

All twelve members of the action team perished; not a single body was found intact.

Zhang Guoqiang's eyes immediately turned red, and he roared, "Everyone, quickly search for any survivors!"

However, all that everyone saw were severed arms and legs, some with skin and bits of flesh still attached to the broken bones, and blood flowing like a river on the ground. There was no way for anyone to start a rescue...

The scene was beyond description...

A team member ran over, tears welling in his eyes, and stammered, "Reporting, Captain... Captain... the brothers of Team One have all sacrificed their lives!"

Zhang Guoqiang felt as if his chest had been struck heavily by a thousand-ton pile driver...

I felt an itch in my throat and my mouth involuntarily opened.

"puff!"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

It's black in front of you.

"thump!"

Overwhelmed by anger, Zhang Guoqiang collapsed into the pool of blood...

"team leader!"

Several team members rushed to Zhang Guoqiang's aid.

At that moment, two figures darted in from the stairwell.

It was Xia Keke and Xiao Zhan.

Su Zixing was unable to climb stairs shortly after her surgery, so Xiao Zhan asked Shen Jun to stay with her in the car.

"The section chief is here."

One of the team members saw Xia Keke and called out.

Xia Keke stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, Captain Zhang?"

"Captain Zhang suffered a sudden attack of anger and vomited blood before fainting."

Xia Keke: "What are the specific casualty figures?"

"Chief, all twelve brothers in the team have been killed."

"boom!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Keke felt as if she had been struck on the head, experiencing a wave of dizziness and swaying involuntarily.

Xiao Zhan hugged her tightly and said, "Director Xia, you have to hang in there. There are many things that need your arrangement later!"

Xiao Zhan is wrong. It's not appropriate for Xiao Zhan to interfere in matters of national security, and even if he did, no one would listen to him.

call……."

Xia Keke took deep breaths to calm herself down, her eyes reddening as she said, "Xiao Zhan, this is a trap set by Liu Shiyuan. He was just waiting for my men to come up so he could detonate the pre-set bomb. My twelve brothers have sacrificed themselves like this. How can I face their families?!"

Xiao Zhan said coldly, "A blood debt must be repaid with blood. Capture Liu Shiyuan to avenge our fallen brothers."

"Well!"

At this moment, Zhang Guoqiang groaned and woke up. Seeing Xia Keke, he immediately got up from the ground, tears streaming down his face, and cried out, "Chief, twelve brothers are gone!"

"Mmm...mmm..."

The other team members on site began to cry quietly.

Xia Keke had calmed down by now and said, "I already know. This is a trap that Liu Shiyuan deliberately dug. Everyone, let's get moving and see if we can find any useful clues. I don't believe that Liu Shiyuan escaped without leaving a single trace. Everyone, search carefully."

"yes!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Zhang Guoqiang led his men to begin the search.

Suddenly, he noticed a cigar propped up on the ashtray on the coffee table in the living room. Judging from the arrangement, it seemed to have been done intentionally. Zhang Guoqiang found this strange and called out, "Director, Young Master Xiao, there's something going on here."

Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke walked over, and when they saw the cigar, Xiao Zhan's expression changed. He picked up the cigar, sniffed it, and said, "This is a Cuban cigar, quite valuable. Ordinary people can't afford it or buy it. Moreover, the smoke is very strong and the taste is very fresh. It must have been smoked recently. I heard that Liu Shiyuan likes to smoke cigars, but this cigar has only been smoked a third of the way. And judging from its placement, it must have been done by Liu Shiyuan on purpose."

Zhang Guoqiang asked, puzzled, "Young Master Xiao, are you saying Liu Shiyuan did this on purpose? What can a cigar prove?"

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "You asked a very good question. Yes, what can a cigar mean? If I'm not mistaken, Liu Shiyuan is using this cigar to show us that he is here, but we just can't catch him. In addition, Liu Shiyuan is using this cigar to declare war on us and admit that he was responsible for the explosion."

Xia Keke continued, "Young Master Xiao's analysis is very insightful. Liu Shiyuan's grand display of force is a declaration of war against us. From the moment he initiated the Chessboard Plan, his grandson Liu Chuanren died, his left and right chess pieces Hong Tao were captured, Liu Qiang was blown to pieces by drones, and he himself was chased like a stray dog ​​by us. Therefore, he wants to take revenge on us, and he also wants to use a successful attack to prove his existence, boost the morale of his other pieces on the chessboard, and at the same time warn us that he, Liu Shiyuan, is not dead and still capable of fighting again."

Xiao Zhan frowned and said, "I'm very curious, how did Liu Shiyuan escape from that building?"

"All import and export routes have been blocked by us. All import and export routes are under close surveillance by monitoring equipment. Even a fly flying by cannot escape our eyes."

Zhang Guoqiang stared at the cigar in Xiao Zhan's hand.

Suddenly, a fragment flashed through his mind.

Previously, when he was in the stairwell, he had smelled a faint cigar aroma.

Zhang Guoqiang stepped forward, stuck his head in front of the cigar, and took a deep sniff. Then he said, "Young Master Xiao, Director Xia, on the eve of the explosion, I was standing at the top of the fifth floor when a gentle breeze suddenly blew past me. There was a faint smell of cigars in the wind, just like this cigar."

Xiao Zhan frowned and asked, "Where did the wind come from in the stairwell?"

Zhang Guoqiang: "At the time, I also felt very strange. It felt like someone walked past me, but I really didn't see anything."

Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Could it be a ninja?!"

Zhang Guoqiang: "Ninjas are human too. They just use their surroundings to become invisible, so they can't be completely unseen. Besides, there's nothing in the stairwell. How could a ninja become invisible using the surroundings?"

Xiao Zhan: "From the video of the hot spring resort, we can see that there were four high-level ninjas with Liu Shiyuan. They suddenly disappeared from the video with Liu Shiyuan. The person named Ono Tomozhan just mentioned that Miki Hirofumi with Liu Shiyuan was also a high-level ninja. Based on this, we can deduce that Liu Shiyuan was rescued by ninjas."

Xia Keke gritted her teeth and cursed, "I don't care what kind of high-level ninja they are, I swear I won't let a single one of them go. They must pay for their blood debts."

Xiao Zhan: "It seems Liu Shiyuan has escaped again."

at the same time,

Inside the operating room of the People's Hospital.

Mako Ishida lay motionless on the operating table, still under anesthesia. Two nurses observed her, and one of them said, "This woman is so pitiful. Her lower body is torn so badly. What kind of suffering did she endure? She probably won't be able to have children in the future."

Another nurse said, "Who knows what she does? She won't let us call the police. She's probably that kind of person. I've heard that rich people can become perverted and find all sorts of ways to torture people."

Just then, the operating room door was gently pushed open a crack, and a head popped out, saying, "Nurse, is the surgery done yet? We're in a hurry to get back."

She was one of the two bodyguards monitoring Mako Ishida.

A nurse snapped, "Who let you in? Get out! The patient's still under anesthesia."

Upon hearing that Mako Ishida was still unconscious, the bodyguard thought to himself, "This is truly a stroke of luck!"

Without hesitation, he pushed open the door and headed straight for Mako Ishida...

Upon seeing this, two nurses quickly stepped forward to stop them, angrily shouting, "Hey, who let you in? Get out now, or we'll call the police!"

The bodyguard's eyes turned fierce, and he swiftly delivered two karate chopes to the necks of the two nurses.

The two nurses never expected that this man would attack them.

Caught off guard, both men were struck in the neck. Their bodies stiffened, their eyes rolled back, and they collapsed to the ground without uttering a sound...
