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

at this time,

Inside a detached villa at a hot spring resort.

"Haha, sir, ever since you took that drug last time, your body has become incredibly strong. Last night when you were with Mako Ishida, you were even more vigorous than me. You've become young again!"

Miki Hiroo said with a fawning smile.

When he spoke of Mako Ishida, he licked his thick lips as if he was still savoring the memory of how he had tormented her.

Liu Shiyuan grinned and said, "Hehehe, does Shida Mako really think I don't know that she killed Liu Chuanren? The reason I spared her life is to use her to trick Xiao Zhan."

"Testing the drug's effectiveness on her was just a side effect."

"This is called making use of waste. It's a pity that we tortured her too much and injured her. Damn it, it's hard to find a woman like this again."

Miki Hiroo: "What's even more ridiculous is that Ishida Mako even impersonated a bodyguard to send me messages. Damn it, did she think I didn't know it was her? She probably never dreamed that this was a trap we set up to lure her into a trap."

"Sir, your move was a classic."

Liu Shiyuan sneered, "Xiao Zhan never dreamed that I would use the same method I used on Deng Zhi to deal with him again. Some people say that a plan should not be repeated, but this is what is meant by mixing truth and falsehood, reality and illusion, making it impossible for people to figure out."

"Warfare is based on deception."

"When I led troops into battle, Xiao Zhan wasn't even born yet. He's too green to try and outmaneuver me with the Thirty-Six Stratagems."

Looking at the video on his phone, Miki Hirofu said, "Sir, you can leave now. I'll stay here to greet Xiao Zhan and the others, and I'll make sure they don't leave alive. Also, I'll try to spare Su Zixing's life so I can test the drug's effectiveness for you, hehehe."

Liu Shiyuan: "Alright, you can't really do anything with me here, so I'll be waiting for your good news."

"Snapped!"

After Liu Shiyuan finished speaking, he clapped his hands.

Next second,

Four masked men in black appeared out of nowhere beside him.

Then Liu Shiyuan disappeared...

at the same time,

In the snowy night, Xiao Zhan, Xia Keke, Su Zixing, and Shen Jun walked to the entrance of the hot spring resort.

Just as the group was about to step through the gate, Xiao Zhan suddenly stopped. As a sniper, he noticed that the security cameras at the gate were moving slightly, and all the cameras were pointing in his direction.

This situation is definitely not normal.

Xiao Zhan looked at Zhang Guoqiang and the others standing at the door, thought for a moment, and asked, "Has anyone come here since you took over?"

Zhang Guoqiang shook his head and said, "No one has been here."

"There are only two security guards on duty, and they're still in the guardhouse. Should I go ask them?"

Xiao Zhan: "Don't ask them, they don't know anything."

After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he immediately took a few steps forward to the corner of the guardhouse, turned around to avoid the surveillance camera, and then whispered to Xia Keke, "Director Xia, this might be a trap."

Xia Keke reacted quickly, immediately stepping forward to stand next to Xiao Zhan, also with her back to the blind spot of the surveillance camera. Then she whispered to Xiao Zhan, "You mean Liu Shiyuan deliberately lured us here, making us think he was hiding in the dark, but actually he was setting a trap for us?"

Xiao Zhan: "Director Xia is indeed exceptionally intelligent, understanding things immediately. Your analysis is quite accurate. I suspect it's similar to the bombing of Deng Zhi last time. Liu Shiyuan planted a large amount of explosives in the resort, waiting for us to take the bait, and then detonated the explosives to kill us all."

Xia Keke: "So that means the hot spring resort has already been taken over by Liu Shiyuan's people."

Xiao Zhan: "We can't rule out that possibility; otherwise, it's impossible that no one has come to check until now."

Xia Keke: "Wouldn't it be too dangerous to go in now? Does that mean Ishida Mako is putting on an act for us?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "Ishida Mako was probably also used by Liu Shiyuan, but she just didn't know it."

Xia Keke's eyes flickered a few times before she said, "So Liu Shiyuan is in the resort."

Xiao Zhan: "That's not necessarily true. The old man is as cunning as a fox and full of tricks. I've been here a few times before. The guard room and the main gate's surveillance cameras are connected to the monitoring center. There are people on duty at the control center 24 hours a day, and three security guards patrol on electric bikes every fifteen minutes. Zhang Guoqiang and his group have been in charge of the guard room for so long, yet no security guards have come to inquire about the situation. This is extremely abnormal."

"Furthermore, the phone that Ishida Mako gave me has been silent and without calls. Ishida Mako said that Miki Hiroo is inherently suspicious. A suspicious person wouldn't not contact his subordinates for so long. This means that Miki Hiroo deliberately used a message to tell Ishida Mako to meet him at the hot spring resort, and then he set a trap here, waiting for us to walk into it, and then carried out a plan to kill us."

"brush!"

Xia Keke broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Luckily you noticed the clues, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"What do we do now?"

Xiao Zhan: "We can only temporarily halt our operations."

At this moment, Su Zixing walked over and asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Zhan? Why aren't you taking action? Speed ​​is of the essence in war. If we delay and Liu Shiyuan discovers us and he escapes, all our efforts will have been in vain."

Xiao Zhan pointed to the guardhouse and said, "Let's talk inside the guardhouse."

Then he whispered to Shen Jun, "Find a way to break those security cameras at the entrance."

Shen Jun smirked and said, "That's easy."

Shen Jun walked over, pulled out a dagger, and cut the cable of the surveillance camera. Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Hehe, simple, brutal, and direct."

Shen Jun: "This is the easiest and quickest way."

Xiao Zhan: "In this way, Liu Shiyuan will know that we have discovered something is wrong, and given his personality, he will definitely run away immediately."

Shen Jun: "I'm sorry, instructor, I didn't think that much about it."

Xiao Zhan: "This is not your fault. I told you to do it. We needed to make a move to alert them. Otherwise, we would be too passive. The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. We might fall into their trap."

Xia Keke: "What do we do now?"

Xiao Zhan, already confident, said with certainty, "Liu Shiyuan will definitely run away once he discovers that we've destroyed the security cameras at the entrance. Director Xia, you take Su Zixing and Zhang Guoqiang and have them guard this place with an infrared thermal imager."

"Once the infrared thermal imager detects a target, open fire, regardless of whether it lives or dies. No matter how powerful a ninja is, they can't become invulnerable to swords and bullets. When shooting, try to hit the head and limbs."

Xia Keke: "To prevent the opponent from wearing bulletproof vests?"

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "Shen Jun and I will take another far-infrared thermal imager into the resort to find Liu Shiyuan's hiding place and see if we can find those four ninjas."

Xia Keke: "There are too few of you two."

Su Zixing: "I'll go with you."

Xiao Zhan: "It's better to have fewer people to operate. We don't even know what traps the other side has set. If we have too many people, wouldn't we just be delivering ourselves to their doorstep? We're not going to do anything that's so stupid."

Su Zixing wanted to say something more.

Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice, "Obey orders, or you won't be participating in the battle."

Su Zixing saw that Xiao Zhan had a gloomy face and dared not speak.

Xiao Zhan ordered in a deep voice, "Zhang Guoqiang, immediately turn on the infrared thermal imager to search for targets in the surrounding area."

Zhang Guoqiang replied, "Yes."

Then, I skillfully turned on the far-infrared thermal imager.

Next second,

"Beep beep beep..."

The thermal imager immediately sounded an alarm…

Five human-shaped silhouettes appeared on the screen, rushing rapidly towards the main entrance...

Zhang Guoqiang exclaimed excitedly, "Report: Target spotted at the twelve o'clock position directly in front of the main gate!"

Xiao Zhan didn't expect to find the target so quickly, seeing that the thermal imager showed five people.

Liu Shiyuan and the four ninjas make a total of five people, don't they?

"Fire at the target."

Xiao Zhan gave the order without hesitation, and at the same time pulled the bolt with both hands to chamber a bullet. He raised his gun and fired without aiming. The whole action was crisp, clean and efficient!

"Bang bang bang".

Xia Keke, Su Zixing, and Shen Jun were all skilled gun users; they almost simultaneously raised their pistols and pulled the triggers…
