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

Halfway up the mountain

Inside the pavilion,

As night fell, a sudden sniper shot not only broke Miki Hirofumi's wrist but also terrified Liu Shiyuan and Master Haifeng.

What a joke! Being targeted by snipers in the middle of the night, and now in a pavilion halfway up a mountain with no cover whatsoever, and all the surrounding hilltops are high vantage points, who knows how many snipers are lying in ambush.

People are practically sitting ducks in the pavilion these days.

"There's a sniper."

Liu Shiyuan, a seasoned veteran who had seen many battles, shouted loudly and dodged behind a stone pillar.

Upon seeing this, Master Haifeng bent down and crawled under the stone table.

The young novice monk had just smashed the copper pot at Qi Jingtian when he heard the gunshot and saw that Miki Hirofu's arm had been broken. Terrified, he ran out of the pavilion. As luck would have it, there were paths on all four sides of the pavilion, and he just happened to pass in front of Qi Jingtian. At that moment, Qi Jingtian had already loaded his pistol and fired a shot.

"Bang!"

Because the distance was too close, the young novice monk was in a panic and didn't pay attention, and Qi Jingtian's marksmanship was astonishingly accurate. In short, everything turned out for the best.

"puff!"

The bullet instantly pierced the young novice's head.

"Bang!"

The young novice's head was instantly blown apart like a ripe watermelon. It turned out that Qi Jingtian was using a Desert Eagle pistol, a weapon whose power was comparable to that of a fighter jet among pistols.

Don't let Qi Jingtian's appearance fool you; despite being a woman with a beautiful face and a hot body, she has always admired the aesthetics of violence...

"thump!"

The headless body of the young novice monk fell to the ground, blood flowing like a river, a gruesome sight.

Qi Jingtian saw Miki Hirofu clutching his severed hand, howling like a ghost. Recalling the greedy look in Miki Hirofu's eyes, his utterly lewd expression, and his nakedly aggressive gaze, Qi Jingtian was instantly filled with rage and malice. He raised his hand and fired a shot.

"Bang."

Hiroo Miki was in excruciating pain and didn't notice when a bullet struck him squarely in the chest.

"puff!"

A jet of blood spurted from Miki Hiroo's chest.

"thump!"

Miki Hiroo's screams abruptly stopped as he collapsed to the ground, dying without uttering a sound...

As luck would have it, Miki Hiroo happened to fall under the stone table. Master Haifeng, who was hiding under the stone table, was trembling with fear. When he saw Miki Hiroo, covered in blood and in a terrible state, dead in front of him, especially with Miki Hiroo's unseeing eyes staring at him, Master Haifeng screamed in fright.

"Oh!"

Then his body stiffened, his head lolled to the side, and he fainted from fright...

Qi Jingtian killed Miki Hirofumi, and seeing Master Haifeng faint from fright, he suddenly turned around, raised his gun, aimed at Liu Shiyuan hiding behind a stone pillar, and shouted sharply, "You old lecher, get out here!"

Liu Shiyuan turned pale with fright and quickly cried out, "Director Qi, don't shoot! Let's talk this out!"

Then he cautiously peeked out from behind the stone pillar.

"Bang."

Qi Jingtian raised his hand and fired a shot at the stone pillar, sending shards of stone flying. Several shards landed on Liu Shiyuan's face, drawing blood. Liu Shiyuan winced in pain and instinctively touched his face, which was now covered in blood, making him look extremely disheveled.

Qi Jingtian, always decisive and ruthless, walked over and asked sternly, "Liu Shiyuan, tell me who is in charge of the military coup? Or which military personnel are your pawns?"

Liu Shiyuan was stunned for a moment, a look of panic flashing in his eyes, and then he shouted, "Qi Jingtian, I would never tell you even if I died, and you absolutely cannot know."

Qi Jingtian then asked, "Why did you suddenly cancel your meeting with the Butcher Squad and instead spend your time drinking tea and chatting in the pavilion?"

"Who are you waiting for?"

A flicker of panic crossed Liu Shiyuan's eyes again as he said, "I'm not waiting for anyone. I just suddenly feel tired, and it's too late. I'd rather meet up with the Butcher Squad after dawn."

Qi Jingtian noticed both changes in Liu Shiyuan's eyes, and her doubts suddenly increased.

Liu Shiyuan's behavior is really too abnormal...

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons.

Furthermore, ever since Liu Shiyuan and Miki Hirofu got into his car, the two seemed to be deliberately concealing something in their every move.

Qi Jingtian was quite surprised by their behavior after the unexpected incident; it was truly astonishing.

In Qi Jingtian's view, Liu Shiyuan and Miki Hongfu's performance was very abnormal, especially Miki Hongfu's performance, which did not resemble the combat power that a high-level ninja should have.

Qi Jingtian pointed the gun at Liu Shiyuan's head and said, "Old man, are you going to talk or not? I'll count to three, and if you don't talk, I'll blow your dog's head off."

"Director Qi, don't fire!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and several figures crept over in the darkness. The one leading them was Xia Keke!

Everything that just happened in the pavilion was clearly captured by drones and high-definition military satellites.

Seeing Qi Jingtian's performance, Xia Keke, with her rich experience, immediately judged that Qi Jingtian must be one of their own. Xiao Zhan's judgment was correct, so she personally led people to come and support Qi Jingtian.

Qi Jingtian wasn't surprised to see Xia Keke arrive with her people; it seemed expected. He asked, "Where's Xiao Zhan?"

Xia Keke: "Xiao Zhan has returned to the city."

When Liu Shiyuan heard that Xiao Zhan had returned to the city, his expression changed several times, and his eyes darted around. This unusual behavior was noticed by both Qi Jingtian and Xia Keke.

Qi Jingtian said with some disappointment, "How could Xiao Zhan go back at such a crucial moment?"

"The mission at Hongluo Temple isn't over yet!"

Xia Keke: "Xiao Zhan's family suddenly all went missing. Xiao Zhan was worried that someone might take advantage of him."

Xia Keke stared at Liu Shiyuan as she spoke. She had felt something was off when she first saw Liu Shiyuan.

When Liu Shiyuan saw Xia Keke staring at him, he subconsciously looked away and lowered his head to avoid her gaze.

"This person is not Liu Shiyuan."

These words suddenly flashed through Xia Keke's mind.

She had dealt with Liu Shiyuan many times, and Liu Shiyuan had been in a high position for a long time, so he naturally had the majesty of a superior and a very strong aura. Why was she afraid to make eye contact with others?

They even lowered their heads to avoid it.

At this moment, Qi Jingtian said, "Even if his family was really taken advantage of, by the time Xiao Zhan gets back, it will be too late."

Xia Keke's eyes caught sight of Miki Hirofumi's body on the ground. She had seen the scene of Miki Hirofumi's murder clearly through the drone.

Although Xia Keke had never fought against Miki Hirofumi, she had fought against other high-ranking ninjas.

Miki Hiroo's performance was extremely disappointing; his combat ability was nothing like that of a high-level ninja, more like that of an ordinary assassin...

Xia Keke walked over, bent down, and reached out to touch Miki Hirofu's hideous face a few times. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically, and she pulled hard with her fingers.

"Sizzle!"

A human skin mask was forcibly torn off Miki Hiroo's face...

Upon seeing this, Qi Jingtian exclaimed in astonishment, "Holy crap, is Miki Hiroo someone else in disguise?"

Then he turned to Liu Shiyuan and asked, "Can you tell me where the real Miki Hiroo is?"
