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

"Why."

Reiko Ishida sighed and said, "You win."

Xia Keke: "Since Ishida Reiko has admitted defeat, then reveal your entire plan. Perhaps I'll consider sparing your life."

Reiko Ishida looked up at Xiao Zhan, wanting to see his attitude.

at this time,

Xiao Zhan was on the phone.

Xia Keke said, "Ishida Reiko, you see, Xiao Zhan is useless. If the information you provide is valuable, I'll let you off the hook and you can live."

"Otherwise, you can forget about seeing the sun rise tomorrow."

Knowing that she would surely die if she didn't speak, Reiko Ishida thought for a moment and said, "The target of my plan is Xiao Zhan. The plan is to use Ma Feng's family as a starting point to lure Xiao Zhan here, and then have the You family take the lead in finding an opportunity to ambush Xiao Zhan on the way. Actually, half of the plan has not yet been implemented."

Xia Keke: "Just as Xiao Zhan guessed, even if you execute the entire plan, you won't succeed."

Reiko Ishida said somewhat indignantly, "If the plan doesn't come to fruition later, everything is still uncertain."

Xia Keke scoffed, "But you've already lost. You think you can kill Xiao Zhan? Don't you even consider whether you have the ability? How do you compare to Ishida Mako?"

Reiko Ishida's expression changed, but she remained silent.

Her older sister, Mako Ishida, is her mentor in life, and is a level above her in terms of appearance, talent, intelligence, and personal ability.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan finished his call and walked over, saying, "Ishida Reiko, I just called your sister Ishida Mako. She was very surprised to learn that you were the mastermind behind this plan. She pleaded with me on your behalf. I can let you off the hook for your sister's sake, but you must tell me where You Dashan is and the details of how the plan will be implemented."

When Reiko Ishida heard that Xiao Zhan had agreed to release her, she immediately perked up and said, "I'm willing to explain the rest of the plan. You Dashan will be responsible for carrying out the rest of the plan..."

Five minutes later.

Reiko Ishida revealed the entire assassination plan, then looked at Xiao Zhan and said, "Can I leave now? You kicked my back and it hurts terribly. I need to go to the hospital for a checkup and treatment."

Xiao Zhan: "You can leave now. Don't ever come to Dragon Kingdom again."

Reiko Ishida said sadly, "I will never come here in my life."

Xia Keke: "Your G-Wagon is damaged. How are you going to get down the mountain to the county town?"

Reiko Ishida's expression changed slightly as she said, "What else can I do but walk down the mountain?"

Xia Keke: "I can take you to the county town."

Reiko Ishida exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"

Xia Keke: "Of course."

Then he called into his headset, "Drive a car to the road below the hill and wait for me."

Xiao Zhan could tell from Xia Keke's eyes that she was acting again, deliberately putting on a show for Ishida Reiko.

He just didn't understand why Xia Keke had to put on an act when she had already agreed to let Ishida Reiko go.

What is Xia Keke planning to do now?

Then Xia Keke said, "Ishida Reiko, let's go."

Reiko Ishida walked down the mountain with her hands on her hips, her back aching, so she walked very slowly.

Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke weren't in a hurry to follow behind.

Then Xiao Zhan asked in a low voice, "Director Xia, what are you planning to do now? I promised Ishida Mako to release Ishida Reiko."

Xia Keke looked at Ishida Reiko walking ahead and whispered, "I don't believe a word Ishida Reiko says. Didn't you notice that everything she said at the end was a lie?"

Xiao Zhan's expression changed, and he said, "How do you know she's lying?"

Xia Keke looked up at the dark forest all around and said, "You'll find out in a moment."

At that moment, Shen Jun's voice came through the earpiece: "General Zhan, I have carefully searched the surrounding area and found no suspicious persons."

Xiao Zhan: "Let's call it a day."

Shen Jun: "Yes."

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a sniper rifle rang out...

"Bang!"

The head of Reiko Ishida, who was walking in front, was instantly blown apart...

Through the earpiece, Shen Jun shouted, "Damn it, this is a slap in the face! Where did this sniper come from? I have to catch you and tear you apart alive to vent my anger."

Upon hearing the sniper rifle shot, Xiao Zhan knew something was terribly wrong. He grabbed Xia Keke beside him, and the two of them fell to the ground together. Then, holding Xia Keke, he rolled down the hillside through the grass.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

At this moment, countless sniper bullets chased after the two of them, but they always missed Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke by a hair's breadth, the bullets hitting the grass with dull thuds...

Xia Keke remained motionless while being held by Xiao Zhan, instead closing her eyes as if she were completely at his mercy.

"Clang!"

Xiao Zhan's body crashed into a large tree and came to a stop.

"Hiss..."

Xiao Zhan gasped in pain. Luckily, he bumped his back, which was covered in thick, muscular skin. If he had bumped his waist, it would have been a real problem.

Looking again at Xia Keke in his arms, he saw that she was not injured.

Xiao Zhan whispered, "Quickly hide behind the big tree."

Xia Keke said shyly, "If I could die in your arms, that would be a kind of happiness."

Xiao Zhan: "Why are you acting like a lovesick fool, just like Reiko Ishida? How come you women are even more lustful than men?"

Xia Keke: "It's not that we're lustful, it's that you're too outstanding. Who wouldn't like an outstanding man?"

Xiao Zhan: "Stop right there. Did you already know Ishida Mako was shot and killed?"

Xia Keke: "Then you've wronged me."

"Ishida Mako must have been silenced. How would I know someone wanted to kill him? Shen Jun checked the surrounding area just now and didn't find any suspicious people. Why is there a sniper again?"

"You can't possibly doubt Shen Jun as well."

Xiao Zhan: "Too many things have happened this time, and it's hard to process them all at once. I need to think about it carefully."

"Bang bang bang".

Several sniper shots rang out from the nearby mountain ridge, and Shen Jun immediately reported through his earpiece: "Report to Commander Zhan, the one who fired just now was the mercenary sniper who ran away earlier."

"According to his confession, You Dashan ordered him to kill Ishida Reiko, and You Dashan had already run away from the back mountain beforehand."

Xiao Zhan: "You Dashan can't escape."

"Shen Jun, bring this mercenary down here."

Shen Jun: "General Zhan, it's too late. The mercenary has bled to death."

Xiao Zhan said calmly, "I understand."

"Go down the mountain."

Xia Keke walked to Ishida Reiko's body, looked at the mangled, headless corpse, and said, "Ishida Reiko, your death was entirely of your own making. If you had told me the truth, you wouldn't have died at all."

Xiao Zhan walked over and said, "You knew she was lying, so why didn't you expose her on the spot? You were still acting with her. You weren't like this before."

Xia Keke stared into Xiao Zhan's eyes and said, "Everything I've done is for you, believe it or not."

After Xia Keke finished speaking, she turned and walked down the mountain...

Xiao Zhan looked at Ishida Reiko's body and said, "Ishida Reiko, may you rest in peace. When you are reborn as a human, don't lie."

"As the saying goes, Heaven is watching what people do. This means you've told too many lies, and God will punish you."

After ten minutes,

Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke arrived at the foot of the mountain and met up with Liu Shiwei and the others. Three minutes later, the convoy drove down the mountain...
