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

"Bang!"

A dazzling firework bursts in the sky.

In the darkness of night,

Inside the speeding Maybach,

Xiao Zhan asked, "Director Xia, who do you think sent that message just now?"

Xia Keke stared at the message she had received on her phone not long ago, shook her head and said, "I had the technical department check it, but they couldn't find the IP address of the source of the information. There are only two possibilities in this situation: one, the other party has a high level of administrative privileges to delete or hide the IP address; two, the other party is a high-level hacker who uses a virtual address to prevent us from finding it."

"But based on this message, I tend to think it's the first one, and the other party is very familiar with our working styles."

"Xiao Zhan, guess who this person is?"

Xiao Zhan nodded and then shook his head. He looked out the car window at the firework that was gradually disappearing in the night sky and said, "I think the fact that the other party could send us messages at the same time is a warning to us. He knows everything about our actions. Especially the last sentence, 'Leave a way out for others so you can meet again in the future,' is a blatant threat to us."

"As for who the other party is, we don't need to worry about it, and we shouldn't fall into their trap. I have a feeling that they are deliberately trying to mislead us."

There's a saying: "When the fire is hot enough, even a pig's head will rot; when you've worked hard enough, success will come naturally." This person will eventually rise to the top.

Xia Keke nodded and said, "I also think that the other party is deliberately trying to confuse our judgment and vision. We don't need to pay attention to it, and we can't let it disrupt our rhythm. We will continue to execute our plan."

"By the way, did you ask Boss A?"

Xiao Zhan turned his gaze to Xia Keke: "Are you asking about the first incense offering last night?"

Xia Keke nodded.

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "I didn't ask. It's not good to ask about this directly, but based on my judgment, there are only a few people who can mobilize special vehicles and security personnel. With such a large-scale operation, it's impossible for the higher-ups not to know."

Xia Keke: "Yeah, that's true."

"Beep beep beep".

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan's phone rang.

When Xiao Zhan saw that it was Bai Zexiang calling, he raised an eyebrow and answered, "Hello, Minister Bai, what are your instructions?"

Bai Zexiang on the other end of the phone said, "Xiao Zhan, I heard about what happened at Yonghe Temple. They killed several ninjas. Well done."

Xiao Zhan: "It's a pity we didn't catch Liu Shiyuan."

"Why!"

Bai Zexiang sighed on the other end of the phone and said, "Xiao Zhan, you should retreat first. Several people have already called me to put pressure on me, saying that the public has made a report, that the killing in Yonghe Temple on the first day of the Lunar New Year has caused extremely bad negative impact and public opinion, etc., and so on. There are all sorts of reasons."

"It's during the Spring Festival again, so..."

Xiao Zhan: "Minister Bai, we have already withdrawn. The scene has been handed over to Qi Jingtian of the Municipal Bureau."

Bai Zexiang paused for two seconds, then said, "That's good. You should go home early to reunite with your families and have a reunion dinner during the Spring Festival."

Xiao Zhan: "Thank you for your concern, Minister Bai."

Bai Zexiang lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Zhan, this also means that we are about to get close to the enemy's core figures. We can't arrest Liu Shiyuan yet; let him continue to be a clown."

Xiao Zhan: "Minister Bai, is the die already cast?"

Bai Zexiang: "That won't work either. You follow my orders and continue to monitor Liu Shiyuan. Wait for my instructions before taking action."

Xiao Zhan: "But we don't even know where Liu Shiyuan is hiding. How can we monitor him?"

"What if we completely lose sight of our goal? Who will be responsible for the consequences?"

Bai Zexiang said impatiently, "Xiao Zhan, why are you being so indecisive? Just carry out my orders, we can talk about the rest later."

"Clatter."

Bai Zexiang hung up the phone immediately.

Xiao Zhan helplessly put down the phone, gave a wry smile, and said, "As expected, the people who put pressure on us have found Bai Zexiang. It seems that the power behind Liu Shiyuan is not to be underestimated."

Xia Keke looked at Xiao Zhan with a complicated expression and said, "They use you while suppressing you, demanding your abilities but refusing to acknowledge your value, wanting your achievements while belittling your efforts. How do you break this cycle?"

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "Let's not talk about these unhappy things. It's the New Year, so let's be in the spirit. You'll be thirty-one this year, haven't your family been pressuring you to get married?"

"I see that Zhang Guoqiang has always been devoted to you and loyal to you. Why don't you consider that these days, it's better to find someone who likes you than someone you like?"

"How about I play matchmaker?"

Xia Keke's pretty face flushed red instantly. She looked at Xiao Zhan with her beautiful eyes and said, "In this era where love is scarce and desires are abundant, there are very few people who still dare to pursue love. You are one of them. You are the most devoted and persistent man I have ever met when it comes to love. Unfortunately, the other person is not me."

"Cough cough cough."

Xiao Zhan almost choked to death on his own saliva...

Xia Keke rolled her eyes at Xiao Zhan and said, "Why are you so nervous? I'm not going to force you. Besides, Huanhuan and I are best friends now. How could I possibly steal her boyfriend?"

Xiao Zhan: "You mentioning best friends reminds me of Hua Ying."

Xiao Zhan said, raising the partition, since Shen Jun was driving and it wouldn't be good if he heard.

Xia Keke asked curiously, "What's wrong with Hua Ying?"

Xiao Zhan then recounted to Xia Keke what Hua Ying had said in her drunken state the previous night.

Finally, he said, "I told Huanhuan that I will support and respect her in how she handles her relationship with Huaying. After all, no one is perfect, and it's not easy to find a true friend in life. This world is already full of pressure, so it's okay to make mistakes occasionally."

Xia Keke thought for a moment and said, "If you were in Hua Ying's position, seeing a friend who was once inferior to you suddenly become a winner in life, you would feel happy for your friend but also lonely, and then you would make comparisons. This is human nature's instinct and also its weakness. Qin Huanhuan's hard work has brought her career success, and her emotional investment has brought you your unwavering dedication and true love. In comparison, other people's romantic relationships may result in infidelity, domestic violence, or even a cliff and a funeral home."

Xia Keke cleverly replaced Hua Ying with someone else.

Although Shen Jun couldn't hear her, she still took it into consideration.

This shows that Xia Keke has a high level of emotional intelligence.

Xiao Zhan said, "Hua Ying is a smart person."

"She's not mindless and single-mindedly focused on being in a relationship."

Xia Keke said with deep feeling: "Once a woman sees through life, she will have a new pursuit for herself, which is to find someone in this world who can resonate with her soul, because simply pursuing romantic love is superficial."

Xiao Zhan: "Yes, what truly nourishes life is the soul, the nourishment of thought, the pursuit of inner freedom, and the flourishing of life. What we need is not just a person of the opposite sex, but a soulmate with whom we can communicate deeply. Only when both parties share the same values, vision, and perspective can they bring inner peace to each other. Only those who truly resonate with each other can understand the vast landscape of our inner worlds!"

Xia Keke nodded and said, "True marital happiness is not just about two people sleeping in the same bed, satisfying each other's desires, or even just having enough to eat and wear; it also includes a higher level of spiritual pursuit!"

"squeak!"

The car then stopped.
