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

In the darkness of night,

Xiao Zhan led a special operations team to ambush on the hillside behind the Xiao Group's factory.

This was a planned tactical arrangement.

Xiao Zhan walked to the foot of a large tree, from which he could see the entire Xiao family factory below the mountain.

Xiao Zhan turned on his headset and said, "Chief of Staff Yuan, are you in position? Is the call clear? Please reply if you receive this."

As planned, Yuan Hongjun led a special operations team to secretly infiltrate the factory and lie in ambush.

Through the headset, Yuan Hongjun said, "Reporting to the commander, we are in position. The high-power anti-jamming system is activated. The call is now very smooth and clear. Over!"

Xiao Zhan added, "Chief of Staff Yuan, Deputy Chief of Staff Wan just told me that military personnel may be involved. You need to pay close attention."

Yuan Hongjun: "Understood!"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Tonight I'm going to see which traitor dares to betray us and collude with the enemy. If I catch him, I'll skin him alive."

Xiao Zhan: "No matter who he is, I will not show any mercy. He must pay a bloody price."

"Buzzing!"

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan's phone vibrated, and he saw that the caller ID showed it was Xia Keke calling.

Xiao Zhan answered the call and asked, "Director Xia, where are you?"

Over the phone, Xia Keke said, "Xiao Zhan, Zhang Guoqiang and I are hunting down Singh Gipta, the leader of the 'Man-Butcher' squad."

Xiao Zhan asked in surprise, "How did you end up running into this person?"

Xia Keke laughed and said, "It's quite a coincidence. Just as you reported to me that this person had escaped, our three cars came off the Jinghuai Expressway at Siyuan Bridge. In the darkness, I suddenly saw a figure flash by in the grove of trees by the ramp. Although it was only for a moment, I could clearly see that the figure was carrying a sniper rifle and had an AK rifle on his back. Remembering that you had just reported that the butcher squad leader, Singh Gupta, had escaped while injured, I immediately stopped the car and led my men into the grove to search for him. In the end, we had a head-on confrontation with this guy."

"This guy is quite formidable; he wounded several of my men, but he's also injured and out of ammunition. He's currently circling around us in the woods."

"This guy is an expert in jungle warfare, as slippery as an eel, and very difficult to catch, so I called you for help."

Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Director Xia, tell Singh Gupta that Singh Sharma is not dead and has already left the capital. If he is willing to lay down his weapons, we can spare his life and send him safely out of the country."

Xia Keke hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Is this okay?"

Xiao Zhan: "How do you know it won't work if you don't even try?"

Xia Keke: "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Xia Keke put down her phone and said to Zhang Guoqiang, "Just bring everyone back and fence off the grove."

Zhang Guoqiang: "Yes."

Then he spoke into the walkie-talkie: "Everyone evacuate the woods and surround the area."

Xia Keke walked to the edge of the grove and shouted, "Singer Gupta, listen up! Your companion, Singh Sharma, is not dead. He has safely left the capital. If you don't believe me, you can call him."

"Furthermore, Xiao Zhan said that as long as you lay down your weapon and tell us everything you know, we can let you go."

At this moment, Singh Gupta was already a cornered beast, leaning against a large tree, panting heavily, his face pale. Although his eyes were filled with murderous intent, his body had reached its limit...

He had been shot in the arm and bled a lot when he was sniping Shen Jun earlier. He also suffered several minor injuries when he was fighting the National Security personnel. Although the injuries were not serious or fatal, the sheer number of wounds and the bleeding from each one was enough to cause him a lot of trouble.

Suddenly, Singh Gupta heard a woman speaking English. He listened intently, thought for a moment, and said, "How do I know you're not lying to me?"

When Xia Keke heard Singh Gupta speak, she was secretly delighted. As long as they could talk, it meant that he had ideas.

So Xia Keke said, "Why don't you call Sharma and ask him?"

Singh Gupta: "What if I lay down my arms and you go back on your word?"

Xia Keke: "You know best whether your gun has bullets or not. We could have rushed into the woods and shot you to death, but Xiao Zhan said that revenge only leads to more revenge. So we're showing goodwill first. As long as you tell us everything you know and promise not to do anything bad in China again, you can leave on your own."

Singh Gupta looked at the gun in his hand; it was long out of bullets and could only be used as a stick now. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll call Sharma first and ask."

Xia Keke: "I'll give you five minutes. If you don't put down your gun and walk out of the woods by the time it's up, we'll launch an attack and shoot you dead."

Singh Gupta: "Okay, it's a deal."

Gupta took out his phone and turned it on. He had turned it off earlier so as not to affect the battle and to ensure that the phone would have power for use in critical moments.

"Beep beep beep".

Singh Gupta was surprised that Sharma's phone went through so easily, and the call was answered very quickly.

On the other end of the phone, Sharma asked cautiously, "Gupta, is that you?"

Gupta: "Sharma is me. Where are you now?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Sharma said, "Xiao Zhan, let me go. I'm in a taxi now, almost at the embassy."

Gupta: "Didn't Xiao Zhan make things difficult for you?"

Sharma: "Xiao Zhan only told me to put down my gun and tell him my unit number before letting me go."

Gupta still said incredulously, "Sharma, you're not lying to me, are you? You swear on the honor of a tribal man."

Sharma immediately said, "I, Singh Sharma, swear on the honor of a tribesman that everything I just said is true. If I am lying, may I die without a burial place and never be able to return to the tribe."

Gupta: "Sharma, tell me the truth, have you surrendered to Xiao Zhan?"

Sharma: "Xiao Zhan did not make me surrender, but only made me lay down my gun, disarm, and reveal my unit number. He gave me the dignity of a soldier and then let me go. Xiao Zhan also told me that the incident was a trap set by someone, whose purpose was to make us fight to the death so that he could gain political benefits. We and Xiao Zhan both fell for each other's tricks, so there was no need to fight to the death anymore."

Gupta: "Did Xiao Zhan really say that?"

Sharma: "Captain Gupta, I swear, everything I've said is the truth."

Gupta hung up the phone and shouted outside, "I can put down my gun and tell you everything I know, but I don't want to be used as a pawn. Our Butcher Squad paid a heavy price for revenge. I need to know who is behind this incident so I can report back to my superiors."

Xia Keke: "I can tell you who's behind this, but only if you get out of the woods as I tell you."

Gupta: "Okay."

"Clang!"

Gupta threw several empty guns out of the woods, then walked out and stood in front of Xia Keke, saying, "Tell me, who is the mastermind behind this?"

Xia Keke: "The mastermind behind this is Liu Shiyuan."

"Hiss..."

Gupta gasped in shock, exclaiming incredulously, "It was him? How is this possible?"

Xia Keke: "Nothing is impossible in this world. As far as I know, you came here at Liu Shiyuan's invitation to deal with Xiao Zhan. You've been used as pawns by Liu Shiyuan, yet you still treat him as a friend. Hahaha, this is a classic case of being sold out and still helping the seller count the money."
