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

"Hahaha, go ahead and shoot if you dare."

Xiao Zhan walked out from behind the big tree with a smile on his face and said.

"brush!"

The squad leader and vice-captain immediately pointed their two dark gun barrels at Xiao Zhan's head. The squad leader demanded sharply, "Who are you? Why are you hiding behind that tree?"

At the same time, the vice-captain picked up the walkie-talkie and called out: "Everyone, immediately enter combat readiness. If you spot any unidentified individuals, return fire immediately if attacked."

"receive!"

"receive!"

The responses from the walkie-talkie came one after another.

In the darkness of night,

"Snap, snap!"

The sound of a bullet being chambered echoed through the quiet grove.

"Clatter."

Xiao Zhan calmly lit a cigarette, flicked off the ash, and said, "You two had better not point guns at my head."

Seeing Xiao Zhan's calm and composed demeanor, the squad leader asked again in a stern voice, "Who the hell are you?"

"Stop playing tricks on me, or I'll blow your dog's head off."

Xiao Zhan's lips curled into a mocking smile as he said, "The guy who pointed a gun at my head last time is now overgrown with weeds. Want to go down and find him?"

The squad leader rolled his eyes and shouted, "Who the hell are you trying to scare? I'm a mercenary, I've seen it all. If you say another word, I'll shoot right now."

Xiao Zhan pointed to the squad leader's chest and said, "You two should check if you can dodge a sniper's fatal shot before pulling the trigger, then talk to me."

Upon hearing this, the squad leader and vice-captain simultaneously looked down at their chests.

Next second,

The two men's expressions changed drastically.

Because there was a small red dot in the center of their chests, near their hearts, as experienced mercenaries who had walked on the edge of a knife for many years, they certainly knew what this small red dot represented.

The squad leader, his face pale, said, "You have a sniper!"

In this situation, they could only maintain the status quo, because any unusual movement would result in them being shot by snipers...

Moreover, they now only have two choices: either put down their guns voluntarily, or be killed by the enemy sniper!

At this point, the squad leader asked again, "Who exactly are you?"

Xiao Zhan didn't want to waste any more words, so he said, "My name is Xiao Zhan, and your boss Qin Hanwen is my father-in-law."

The squad leader and vice-captain exclaimed in unison, "You're Xiao Zhan?"

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Have you ever met anyone else named Xiao Zhan?"

The squad leader shook his head and said, "I've never seen anyone else named Xiao Zhan, but our boss told me on the last phone call that if I encountered any problems in Beijing that I couldn't solve, I should ask Xiao Zhan for help. He also said that as long as I mentioned Boss Qin's name, Xiao Zhan would help."

Xiao Zhan asked curiously, "Did Qin Hanwen really say that?"

Squad leader: "I have no reason to lie to you."

"I didn't expect you to be Xiao Zhan. Did Boss Qin send you to meet us?"

Xiao Zhan nodded.

Squad leader: "According to procedure, let's first check the rendezvous code."

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger!"

Xiao Zhan: "The kitten catches the mouse!"

The squad leader put down his gun and said, "So you really were the contact person. Hahaha, we almost turned our own people upside down."

Then he said to the vice-captain, "Letting the brothers go off duty is like throwing a flood into a dragon king's temple; we're all family, yet we don't recognize each other."

The vice-captain called out over the walkie-talkie: "Everyone, disengage. The person who's coming is Boss Qin's son-in-law, one of our own."

Xiao Zhan said into his wireless headset, "Shen Jun, stop pointing your sniper rifle at them. It's scary."

Through the headset, Shen Jun joked, "Instructor, you're a new son-in-law who hasn't even met your father-in-law yet, and you've already recruited a mercenary squad from his father-in-law's ranks."

Xiao Zhan: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Shen Jun: "Hehe, okay, I'll shut up."

Xiao Zhan then said, "Captain Zhang, bring your men over here."

Through the earpiece, Zhang Guoqiang said, "Yes."

In the darkness of night,

When a group of fully armed national security agents appeared around the grove, guns at the ready and in an attack formation, all the mercenaries gasped in shock.

"Damn, we were surrounded all along, and we were totally clueless. Luckily, it was our own people."

"My goodness, if we had opened fire just now, we would have been wiped out in the woods and ended up as organic fertilizer in the mountains."

"Judging from their posture, they must be special forces experts. We didn't even notice them. Damn it, thank goodness we didn't fight, or we wouldn't even know how we died."

"Yes, luckily the other party is the boss's son-in-law, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. It is said that the Dragon Kingdom is a forbidden place for mercenaries. Ever since I set foot on the land of the Dragon Kingdom, my eyelids have been twitching violently."

The squad leader looked at the National Security officers who had surrounded him, then looked at Xiao Zhan with a puzzled expression and asked, "Son-in-law, what do you mean by this?"

Xiao Zhan said calmly, "Dragon Kingdom is a no-go zone for mercenaries, didn't you know that? These are national security personnel; you must disarm yourselves before I can guarantee your personal safety."

The vice-captain said angrily, "We will not disarm. What kind of mercenary is he if he doesn't have a gun? How can he protect himself without a gun? I would never entrust my life to someone else. I only trust the gun in my own hand."

Xiao Zhan said coldly, "There's no room for discussion on this. I might as well tell you the truth: if you don't surrender, you'll only face death. The choice is yours. If it weren't for Qin Hanwen's sake, you ten would have already become wandering ghosts in the forest."

The vice-captain angrily said, "Brothers, we cannot put down our weapons. Our lives are in our own hands, not in the hands of others, and we will never let them be in the hands of others."

Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice, "Everyone listen carefully to my orders. Any mercenary who does not disarm must be shot on the spot."

"yes!"

"Snap! Snap!"

The sound of bullets being chambered rang out all around.

Seeing the situation was about to get out of control, the squad leader quickly said, "Everyone, calm down. Xiao Zhan, is this Boss Qin's idea?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with Qin Hanwen. I'm protecting you. Can't you see that?"

"Without guns, you can live; with guns, you must die. It's one of two choices; there is no third option."

He paused, then continued, "I only asked you to disarm, not to surrender. Don't you understand my good intentions?"

The squad leader recalled Xiao Zhan's words and realized he hadn't mentioned surrendering. He then said, "Xiao Zhan, Boss Qin did tell me he needs to speak with you, but how can you guarantee the safety of our brothers?"

Xiao Zhan glanced at the ten mercenaries and said, "You were paired up and hid in the four directions of the grove, with each pair fifty meters apart and each person five meters apart. This is the best defensive formation."

"However, there is a fatal flaw in your defenses. If I wanted to kill you, I could hunt down all ten of you by myself in ten minutes."

Please do not doubt my abilities.

"Hiss..."

Upon hearing this, all ten mercenaries gasped in unison.

This guy has quite the nerve.

One person killed ten of us?

Are we made of mud?

Or should we just stand there, necks outstretched, waiting for you to kill us?

The vice-captain retorted indignantly, "You killed ten of us by yourself? You're just bragging."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "You're not convinced, are you?"

Vice-captain: "If you want me to submit to you, if you want us to put down our guns, there's only one way: you have to defeat me."

"Otherwise, we will fight to the death and never lay down our guns."
