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

at this time,

In the office,

Bai Zexiang then asked, "Director Xia, if we settle accounts with Qin Hanwen now, it will conflict with Qin Huanhuan's inheritance. After all, settling accounts is something that can't be discussed openly."

"What do you think is the best course of action in this matter?"

Xia Keke thought for a moment and said, "Minister Bai, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Bai Zexiang said in a deep voice, "Of course we should hear the truth. Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't listen to reason?"

Xia Keke: "Then let's delay for a few days until Qin Huanhuan inherits all of the Qin family's assets before we start the liquidation process."

Bai Zexiang glanced at the doorway and said, "Are you worried that Xiao Zhan might be upset?"

Xia Keke shook her head and said, "No, Xiao Zhan doesn't care whether Qin Huanhuan can inherit the Qin family's assets. Besides, the Qin family's assets are less than one percent of the Xiao family's assets. I was thinking that if this matter is handled well, Minister Bai can take the opportunity to win people's hearts."

Bai Zexiang's eyes lit up, and he took a drag of his cigarette, saying, "Yeah, I was just thinking that if we touch the Qin family's assets now, Qin Huanhuan will definitely be angry. After all, losing several hundred million yuan of family assets that were about to be in her hands would make anyone furious. Qin Huanhuan will definitely whisper in Xiao Zhan's ear, and do you think Xiao Zhan will develop a rift with me because of this?"

Xia Keke: "I don't know about that. I wouldn't dare to draw any conclusions. You should ask Xiao Zhan yourself."

Bai Zexiang thought for a moment and said, "Your suggestion makes sense. Since outsiders don't know about the liquidation plan anyway, let's put this matter aside for a month until Qin Huanhuan's inheritance process is complete, and then we'll start the liquidation plan."

"Xia Keke, you'll be in charge of the liquidation plan!"

"Do you have any requests?"

Xia Keke: "I don't have any personal requests, but I just want to know what the target of the liquidation plan is. Having a general direction will help me keep things in check, since this involves emptying someone's coffers."

Bai Zexiang: "A means to leave these people with nothing but their underwear. Who told them to follow Liu Shiyuan? As the saying goes, what goes around comes around. These criminals must be severely punished."

Xia Keke: "I understand."

Xia Keke paused for a moment and then said, "Minister Bai, there's something I'd like to report to you."

Bai Zexiang asked curiously, "What is it? Just tell me."

Xia Keke continued, "This time, when the city bureau chief Qi Jingtian participated in the operation against Liu Shiyuan, she stayed by Liu Shiyuan's side alone. Her behavior is truly admirable."

"But according to her own account, she was ordered to approach Liu Shiyuan with the aim of finding a suitable opportunity to catch Liu Shiyuan and his gang in one fell swoop."

"However, what's strange is that she couldn't even tell the real Liu Shiyuan and Miki Hirofu apart. Given her abilities and professional level, that shouldn't be the case."

"After Xiao Zhan and I exposed the fake Liu Shiyuan and Miki Hongfu on the spot, Qi Jingtian left the scene under the pretext of having a mission and is now missing. I always feel that many of Qi Jingtian's behaviors are not in line with common sense or relevant regulations, and there must be some little-known secrets among them. So I want to take measures against her to find out whether she is a human or a ghost."

After listening, Bai Zexiang remained silent for a good ten seconds, lit another cigarette, and then said, "Qi Jingtian's matter is very complicated. I don't know much about it. As far as I know, Qi Jingtian's father caused the Qi family to fall into difficulties and be on the verge of bankruptcy thirty years ago due to investment failure. Later, a mysterious force injected huge sums of money and pulled the Qi family back from the brink of bankruptcy. I suspect that this mysterious force is the conglomerate behind Liu Shiyuan."

Xia Keke: "If that's the case, then Qi Jingtian's behavior can be explained, because the Qi family wouldn't receive favors from others for no reason; there must be some shady exchange of benefits involved."

Bai Zexiang: "What is Xiao Zhan's opinion on this?"

"You should know that taking action against a deputy ministerial-level leader requires a strict approval process. Even I cannot issue such an order unless there is conclusive evidence to prove that he has committed a crime or seriously violated laws and regulations."

Xia Keke: "Why don't you call Xiao Zhan in and ask him?"

Bai Zexiang: "Okay."

Xia Keke walked to the door and saw Xiao Zhan talking to Ma Feng, while Bai Zexiang's secretary was busy at the desk next to them. She said, "Xiao Zhan, Minister Bai wants to see you."

Xiao Zhan walked over and asked, "What did you call me for?"

Xia Keke blinked and said, "Go ask him yourself."

Xiao Zhan walked into the office and asked, "Minister Bai, what brings you here?"

Bai Zexiang: "What's going on with Qi Jingtian?"

Xiao Zhan glanced at Xia Keke.

Xia Keke nodded.

Xiao Zhan understood.

Because he had previously discussed Qi Jingtian's behavior with Xia Keke, he said, "In short, she's elusive. At her level, she shouldn't be operating on the front lines, much less using herself as bait to stay by Liu Shiyuan's side. She said she wanted to wipe out Liu Shiyuan and the others in one fell swoop, but I don't believe that."

"Furthermore, Qi Jingtian deserves much credit for Liu Shiyuan and Miki Hirofu's successful escape from Yonghe Temple. The most suspicious thing is that she didn't realize that Liu Shiyuan and Miki Hirofu, whom she personally drove out of Yonghe Temple, were actually two doubles, a pair of imposters. For a policewoman with the title of a god-level detective, she shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake."

Bai Zexiang: "Xiao Zhan, do you suspect Qi Jingtian of having a conspiracy?"

Xiao Zhan: "Qi Jingtian said that she was an undercover agent and that she was on the orders of Boss A to get close to Liu Shiyuan. I remember when I asked you, you also said not to hurt Qi Jingtian and that she had a special identity, so I couldn't draw any conclusions."

Bai Zexiang opened a drawer, took out a document, handed it to Xiao Zhan, and said, "Take a look at what's on it."

Xiao Zhan took the document and looked at it.

Next second,

His pupils contracted as he stared at the words on the document and said, "So she really is acting on orders from Boss A."

Bai Zexiang glanced at Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke and said, "The reason I asked you two about Qi Jingtian is because I knew you would suspect him."

"Qi Jingtian knew that neither of you would believe her, so he informed me in advance and asked that she be shown to you at an appropriate time."

Xia Keke hesitated for a moment before saying, "So, Qi Jingtian already knew that Liu Shiyuan and Miki Hongfu, who came out of Yonghe Temple with her, were imposters, including the fake butcher squad?"

Bai Zexiang: "Yes, she pretended not to know in order to keep Liu Shiyuan and Miki Hirofu in check and create an opportunity for later actions. The situation you two analyzed is basically true. Back then, the Qi family did receive funding from the conglomerate behind Liu Shiyuan, which is how they rose from their predicament. Qi Jingtian's father did sign an agreement with Liu Shiyuan and become a key player in his game."

Xiao Zhan: "Isn't Qi Jingtian afraid that Liu Shiyuan and the forces behind him will expose the agreement to the public?"

Bai Zexiang: "After Qi Jingtian learned about this, she knew that if she did as Liu Shiyuan asked, the Qi family would eventually become a victim of Liu Shiyuan and the forces behind him. So she had her father go to the hospital and say that he had a sudden illness, so that she could go and contact Liu Shiyuan..."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "What a smart woman."

Xia Keke: "So Liu Shiyuan thought he had the Qi family under control, but he didn't expect to be controlled by Qi Jingtian instead, which ultimately led to a loophole in his entire plan, which Xiao Zhan and I seized the opportunity for."

Bai Zexiang: "That's roughly it."
