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

at this time,

The main hall of the National Security Operations Department's command center.

Bai Zexiang looked at Xia Keke with surprise and asked, "How did you know?"

"I just received this intelligence!"

Xia Keke dared not conceal anything about this, so she told the truth: "Reporting to the commander, Xiao Zhan had said something similar to me before. To be honest, I didn't pay attention at the time, after all, turning an army against its will is incredibly difficult, practically an impossible task."

Bai Zexiang became interested immediately upon hearing this, because he had just received an intelligence sharing message from the General Staff Intelligence Department.

It's safe to say that currently, no more than one person in the entire top echelon knows this information.

strange,

How could Xiao Zhan have known about this beforehand?

Moreover, judging from Xia Keke's words, Xiao Zhan had told her about it some time ago. Could it be that Xiao Zhan already knew about Liu Shiyuan's plan to turn the army against its leader...?

That's impossible!

If Xiao Zhan had known about Liu Shiyuan's intentions beforehand, given his strong sense of organization and discipline, he should have reported it to his superiors long ago.

At this moment, Bai Zexiang was filled with doubts and asked, "What did Xiao Zhan say to you back then?"

Xia Keke thought for a moment and said, "I remember Xiao Zhan told me very confidently that Liu Shiyuan would eventually instigate a mutiny in the army in order to achieve some ulterior motive. Moreover, at that time we had not yet found out that Liu Shiyuan's father was a Chinese national and an undercover agent. So when you were talking just now, I thought of what Xiao Zhan had said to me. It seems that Xiao Zhan's sensitivity and ability to reason and judge the development of events are really strong."

At this moment, Zhang Guoqiang sincerely said, "Xiao Zhan's overall ability, whether it is his terrifying combat power or his tactical ability, makes him the person I admire the most, without exception. Every time I cooperate with him, it is a happy thing."

Bai Zexiang was shocked when he heard Xia Keke and Zhang Guoqiang's evaluation of Xiao Zhan.

But having spent decades navigating the complexities of officialdom, he had long since mastered the art of concealing his emotions.

Bai Zexiang glanced at Xia Keke and Zhang Guoqiang with his sharp eyes, then said sternly, "Xia Keke, Zhang Guoqiang, this matter is still under investigation and is top secret. No one is allowed to divulge a single word to the outside world."

"Those who violate this rule will be punished for treason."

Xia Keke and Zhang Guoqiang were jolted, and said in unison, "It's the commander."

Bai Zexiang waved his hand, then turned and left, going outside to take out his phone and call Xiao Zhan.

"Beep beep beep".

The phone rang several times before it was answered.

Over the phone, Xiao Zhan said, "Happy New Year, Minister Bai."

Bai Zexiang, too lazy to mince words with Xiao Zhan, went straight to the point: "Xiao Zhan, tell me, how did you know that Liu Shiyuan was secretly plotting to instigate a mutiny within the army?"

at this time,

Xiao Zhan was standing at the entrance of the Xiao family compound, enjoying the breeze.

Hearing Bai Zexiang ask him this, he was immediately startled and said, "Minister Bai, you heard this from Xia Keke, right?"

Bai Zexiang: "How many people have you told this to?"

"Just answer me, how did you know that?"

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao said, "Minister Bai, when I learned that Liu Shiyuan was secretly colluding with the Sakura Society, and that Liu Shiyuan was the mysterious bigwig who betrayed my special operations team's intelligence, I deduced that Liu Shiyuan's ultimate goal was to instigate a mutiny within the military in order to shake the foundations of our country. Even if he couldn't overthrow our current government, he wanted to cause our military strength to regress or stagnate. After all, it's better to cut off one finger than to injure all ten."

Bai Zexiang: "You're really sharp, kid. You guessed right. I just received an internal report from the General Staff Intelligence Department that Liu Shiyuan is secretly contacting his former subordinates in the army, trying to instigate a mutiny within the military."

Xiao Zhan immediately flew into a rage and cursed, "That son of a bitch is either courting death or on the path to it!"

"Minister Bai, please give me your orders on what to do."

Bai Zexiang: "We can't touch Liu Shiyuan for now. I've discussed it with Boss A and others. There are probably other people behind Liu Shiyuan. We need to be sure that we can wipe them all out before we take any action. Otherwise, if we don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze."

Xiao Zhan: "But a mutiny in the army is no small matter, is it?"

Bai Zexiang continued, "The military generals who have been acting suspiciously are currently under close surveillance by the General Staff Intelligence Department. You continue to execute your plan."

Xiao Zhan: "Yes."

Bai Zexiang: "Oh right, Xiao Zhan, A and I think you should destroy the 'Sky Arbiter System' as soon as possible. Those officials and generals are largely related to this. After all, Deng Zhi is dead, and you have taken over the 'Sky Arbiter System.' As is common sense, a new broom sweeps clean. Those big shots are afraid that the fire will spread to them. In their fear and anxiety, coupled with Liu Shiyuan's instigation and enticement, they are very likely to make a desperate gamble and want to fight a battle for survival."

Xiao Zhan: "Okay, I'll spread the word in a bit, and then tonight we'll have a small-scale destruction livestream in the elite circles of Beijing."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zexiang's eyes lit up, and he said, "Xiao Zhan, your idea is excellent. Those people on the list of the 'Sky Judge System' will definitely be able to sleep soundly and have a peaceful New Year after seeing this."

Xiao Zhan: "Hehe, I haven't made a move all this time because I've been waiting for the perfect opportunity tonight."

Bai Zexiang said with satisfaction, "Xiao Zhan, you really did not disappoint me. In this way, those big shots who have secret ties with Liu Shiyuan and are wavering may completely sever their ties with Liu Shiyuan. This is the result we most hope to see."

Xiao Zhan: "Minister Bai, I will also have individual talks with each of the bigwigs on the list. If they still dare to secretly collude with or support Liu Shiyuan, then they can't blame me for being ruthless."

"You only get one chance."

Bai Zexiang said happily, "No wonder Boss A said you had a solution. This move will completely cut off Liu Shiyuan's supporters. As long as the generals in the army don't listen to him, Liu Shiyuan will be like a turtle trapped in a jar."

Xiao Zhan grinned and said, "Catching this old turtle and stewing it into soup would make a great nourishing dish for the Spring Festival table."

Bai Zexiang: "Xiao Zhan, are you at the Xiao family compound?"

Xiao Zhan: "I'm here."

Bai Zexiang: "Please give my regards to Elder Xiao."

Xiao Zhan: "Okay, I'll definitely bring it."

Just as Xiao Zhan hung up the phone, Uncle Yu walked over and said, "Xiao Zhan, the old commander wants to see you."

As they walked, Xiao Zhan asked, "Uncle Yu, how has the old man been feeling lately? He must be having some trouble adjusting to being so idle all of a sudden."

Uncle Yu laughed and said, "Hehe, the old commander is either fishing or digging in the back mountain to plant vegetables every day. He's busy and happy every day, and he's very fulfilled. Now the old commander's appetite has increased."

Xiao Zhan: "Oh, the old man has found enjoyment in life so quickly. It seems retirement hasn't affected him much."

Uncle Yu looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xiao Zhan asked curiously, "Uncle Yu, just say what you want to say. Why are you being so distant with me?"

Yu Bo: "Xiao Zhan, others may not know, but I know that the old commander still can't let go of it, especially the Fuxi Quantum Communication Chip project. It was a military technology product that the old commander personally led and developed with all his energy and effort. It was like his child."

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "That's easy. You and Grandpa can go and take a look whenever you have time. I'm not stopping you from going."

"Oh, by the way, Uncle Yu, I remember your son holds an important position in the garrison command?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Yu paused for a moment, then immediately said, "Yes."

Xiao Zhan: "I haven't seen him for many years."
