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

In the darkness of night,

"Crackling and popping!"

Xia Keke rapidly typed on the keyboard in her handheld device, then said in a deep voice, "Wireless headset network interface test, three, two, one, connection successful."

"Please respond if you hear this during the test run."

"Special Operations Team One received."

"Special Operations Team Two, received!"

"National Security Task Force received!"

"Sniper team, reported!"

"Communications and Intelligence Support Team received."

Xia Keke gave Xiao Zhan a thumbs up and said, "Reporting to the commander, the wireless communication blockchain network platform between the combat teams has been successfully established. You can issue orders now."

Xiao Zhan nodded and ordered in a deep voice: "Group one will sneak in from the front gate of Hongluo Temple, targeting Liu Shiyuan and the mercenary team. Group two will sneak in from the back mountain, targeting the cave where the Butcher Team is hiding. Group three will provide fire support. The National Security Action Team will be responsible for perimeter security around Hongluo Temple and sniping any stragglers."

"Did everyone understand?"

Everyone responded in unison, "We understand."

Xiao Zhan raised his head and looked at the dark, layered mountains in the distance, and said, "The darkest hour is before dawn, but we will eventually see the light. Everyone, move out."

Dozens of figures silently and swiftly disappeared into the darkness, attacking their respective targets...

at the same time,

Looking at the huge plaque that read "Giant Temple of Northern Beijing" on the gate of Hongluo Temple, Liu Shiyuan said to Qi Jingtian with a smug look, "Director Qi, you didn't expect this, did you? The ancient Hongluo Temple, along with Yonghe Temple and Tanzhe Temple, which are known as the three major Buddhist temples in Beijing, are all my pawns, hahaha."

Qi Jingtian said disdainfully, "So what if you're my pawn? You're still running for your life like a stray dog."

Miki Hirofu immediately retorted angrily, "Qi Jingtian, how dare you speak to me like that? Do you believe I'll kill you right now?"

Qi Jingtian's lips curled into a contemptuous smile as he said, "I believe you, but have you ever considered why I would dare to accompany you to these mountains alone in the dead of night?"

Miki Hirofumi paused for a moment, then looked at Ryu Shiyuan.

Liu Shiyuan stared into Qi Jingtian's eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

Qi Jingtian said calmly, "Just the literal meaning."

"If I were afraid, I wouldn't have come with you. Since I'm here, I'm not afraid. These days, who doesn't have a backup plan?"

"If you kill me, you won't live either."

"Besides, are you really confident you can kill me?"

Seeing Qi Jingtian's nonchalant attitude, Liu Shiyuan looked around and saw that it was pitch black and there wasn't a soul in sight. He said, "Qi Jingtian, you'd better cooperate. Don't try anything funny with me. If something happens to me, your Qi family will be wiped out overnight."

Qi Jingtian rolled his eyes and said, "How boring. It's the same old tricks of coercion and enticement. I feel like throwing up just listening to it."

Just as Miki Hirofu was about to speak, Liu Shiyuan stopped him with a look and said, "Qi Jingtian, you can tell me the code for contacting the Butcher Squad now."

Qi Jingtian: "I can tell you, but after I do, you have to let me leave. From now on, your affairs will have nothing to do with me or the Qi family. We'll cut ties completely and never interfere with each other again."

Miki Hirofu couldn't help but say, "You wish! Back then, the Qi family used our resources to turn their fortunes around overnight, and then made huge investments in officialdom and business, making a fortune. Now they want to get out of there in time? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Qi Jingtian sneered, "That happened twenty or thirty years ago. I wasn't involved. If it weren't for my father, I would have wiped you all out long ago. Why should I put up with your bullying?"

Seeing that Qi Jingtian was getting a little carried away, Liu Shiyuan quickly said, "How about this, you don't need to tell me the secret code. You just go and make contact with the Butcher Squad. Then you go your way, and I'll go mine."

Qi Jiaotian: "That works too. We should see things through to the end."

Liu Shiyuan thought, "Why does this whole 'sending the Buddha to the West' thing feel so awkward?"

Just then, a monk in his sixties or seventies, accompanied by a young novice, hurried over, his brows covered in sweat.

The old monk stepped forward and put his palms together to greet Liu Shiyuan, saying, "Amitabha, Mr. Liu, please come into the temple to rest. I have already had tea and vegetarian food prepared."

Liu Shiyuan: "Master Haifeng, we won't go into the temple. Please take us to the back mountain now."

Master Haifeng is the current abbot of Hongluo Temple, which is quite unexpected, as he is also a pawn in Liu Shiyuan's game.

Hai Feng was startled when he saw Qi Jingtian in police uniform beside him. Of course, he recognized Qi Jingtian and quickly stepped forward, putting his palms together and saying, "Amitabha, Director Qi, hello."

Qi Jingtian waved his hand and said, "I'm not good, Master Haifeng. Just do as Liu Shiyuan asks. Just pretend I don't exist."

Master Haifeng paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, Director Qi, Mr. Liu, please come with me."

Then he led the way with the young novice monk.

Liu Shiyuan followed closely behind.

Qi Jingtian walked in the middle.

Hiroo Miki walked last.

Miki Hirofu glanced at Qi Jingtian's sexy and tall figure walking ahead, especially the smooth contours outlined by the police uniform, his pert buttocks, his slender waist, and his pair of high and rounded breasts, which were quite alluring.

In particular, Qi Jingtian's waist and hip lines, which are perfectly proportioned and smooth, are incredibly attractive when he walks.

He watched as Miki Hiroo secretly swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.

He cursed under his breath, "You bitch, what the hell are you so arrogant about? After we're done, I'll show you what I'm made of. I'll make sure you die in pleasure."

To Miki Hirofumi's surprise, when his attention was completely focused on Qi Jingtian...

As everyone knows,

at this time,

in the night sky,

A drone is transmitting their every move in real time to the palm-sized screen in front of Xia Keke.

There is a small grove of trees a few hundred meters inside the right-hand side of the main entrance to Hongluo Temple.

At this moment, ten figures were hiding in a dark corner, each holding a gun and vigilantly observing their surroundings.

These were the mercenaries Qin Hanwen had previously sent to provide support at Liu Shiyuan's request.

The mercenaries arrived at Hongluo Temple at the agreed time, but they couldn't find anyone to meet them.

Unbeknownst to them, the person in charge of the rendezvous had already been arrested by the National Security Bureau.

The mercenary squad leader put down his phone, glanced at his watch, and said to the vice-captain beside him, "The rendezvous time has long passed. We can't get through to Boss Qin, and we can't contact the person who was supposed to be there. What do we do?"

Deputy Captain: "Boss Qin called us to cooperate with Mr. Liu's operation. Why don't you just call Mr. Liu directly? Anyway, the mission is the same. Special circumstances can be handled specially."

The squad leader thought for a moment and said, "Alright then!"

However, Liu Shiyuan's phone was also unreachable.

The squad leader looked at his phone, puzzled. Suddenly, his eyes widened in horror as he exclaimed, "Damn it, there's no signal!"

Vice Captain: "Is your phone out of credit?"

Squad leader: "I just paid my phone bill, so it's impossible for me to be in arrears."

The deputy captain took out his own phone and turned it on, only to find there was no signal. His expression immediately changed, and he exclaimed, "Oh no, the signal is blocked!"

suddenly,

A voice came from behind a large tree not far behind the two people: "The signal is blocked within five kilometers here."

The squad leader and vice-captain were startled by the sudden noise, but as expected of seasoned mercenaries, they reacted quickly. They immediately rolled to the left and right a few times, then stood up at the same time, knelt on one knee, and raised their AK rifles to aim behind the tree.

They shouted in unison, "Who are you? Show yourself!"

"Or we'll shoot."
