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

In the darkness of night,

Ma Feng stayed by Qi Jingtian's side the whole time, and he had to carry out the tasks that Xiao Zhan gave him without fail.

Looking at the vast factory ruins before him, Qi Jingtian excitedly told several reporters, "After receiving a tip, we immediately launched a secret investigation and successfully destroyed multiple drug manufacturing plants. We arrested several suspects on site, and through interrogation, we learned that the mastermind behind them was You Changqing, the richest man in the county. Several of his companies are suspected of illegal and disorderly conduct. The relevant chain of evidence has been secured, and the evidence is conclusive. The case is currently under further investigation to achieve a closed loop of evidence collection."

"The police would like to inform the public that if they have any information about the crimes committed by You Changqing's criminal gang, they can call the hotline to report them."

This was something Qi Jingtian had discussed with Xiao Zhan beforehand.

The goal is to first formally characterize the You Changqing incident as a criminal gang and a drug manufacturing and trafficking group, and then push the case to its climax, making those officials who secretly have dealings with You Changqing and his family feel immense pressure. Once these people are all insecure, they will fall into disarray, and then be defeated one by one...

"Snap! Snap!"

Reporters snapped photos of the scene.

Some reporters are also broadcasting live from the scene, clearly showing the footage on online media.

Qi Jingtian ordered in a deep voice, "Everyone, stand down and go to the county town to meet with Director Liu Shiwei to raid all the assets involved in You Changqing's criminal group."

"yes!"

The crowd responded in unison.

"Ding-dong!"

Just then, Ma Feng's phone rang.

Ma Feng opened the message and saw it was from You Hongmei: "Brother Feng, I sat quietly by myself for a long time, thinking about many things we used to do, and tears started falling without me realizing it. I can't forgive myself for looking like this now."

"I am even more sorry for the joy I felt for you and my unwavering love for you back then. Alas, I was young and naive, and I am now middle-aged and sensible. I made the wrong choice at an age of ignorance, and now I have to bear the consequences at the best age of my life."

"Perhaps this is life!"

Ma Feng thought for a moment and replied, "Hongmei, where are you?"

You Hongmei: "Brother Feng, you asked me where I am and what I'm doing?"

"Did you come to me to elope with me?"

Even at this point, You Hongmei is still clinging to illusions!

Ma Feng replied, "It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Hongmei, turn back before it's too late, don't get any deeper into this mess."

You Hongmei quickly replied, "Hehe, do I still have a chance to turn back? Once I decided to climb into You Dajun's bed, there was no turning back. But I'm not willing to lose everything like this. I'm really not willing."

Ma Feng thought for a moment and replied, "Hongmei, don't be so stubborn. You're still young. Think about your child. He's so young. Go and turn yourself in. You're just an accomplice, so you won't get many years. You can take care of your child when you get out."

You Hongmei: "This is the life I wanted, and it's all my own doing. I went astray a long time ago, but I refused to admit defeat and stubbornly kept going. I knew I was on the wrong path, but there was no turning back. It's not that I didn't know to cut my losses, but I was caught in a dilemma. Moving forward, I saw no future; retreating meant falling into an abyss. I had no control over many things. It felt like I shouldn't be like this, yet it also felt like this was the only way. Sometimes I wonder, if I weren't so stubborn and didn't take things so seriously, would everything be different? Feng, I'm so lost right now."

At this moment, Qi Jingtian walked over and asked, "Ma Feng, what are you doing?"

Ma Feng looked at Qi Jingtian and said honestly, "Director Qi, You Hongmei is chatting with me. Can you locate her position using her phone number?"

Qi Jingtian: "Of course, it's not difficult."

Ma Feng gave You Hongmei's phone number to Qi Jingtian.

Qi Jingtian said in a deep voice, "The technicians should immediately use special methods to locate this number."

"Yes."

A technician stepped forward and answered.

"Crackling and popping!"

After a flurry of typing on his laptop keyboard, the technician announced loudly, "Report, the number is currently located inside the Shantang Town government compound."

Ma Feng immediately asked curiously, "What is You Hongmei doing in the town government compound?"

Qi Jingtian waved to the SWAT team captain standing not far away and said, "Captain Han, come here for a moment."

Special police captain Han Mingliang ran over, saluted, and said, "Director Qi, please give your instructions!"

Qi Jingtian ordered in a deep voice, "Captain Han, send a squad to this address to arrest the person."

Han Mingliang: "Yes."

Ma Feng stepped forward and said, "Director Qi, there's nothing more to do here. I want to arrest You Hongmei myself. This matter started because of me, and it should be resolved by me personally."

Qi Jingtian thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Ma Feng, be careful and report to Xiao Zhan immediately if anything happens."

Ma Feng: "Understood."

Ma Feng got into an SUV, which also carried four fully armed special police officers. Several other special police officers rode in another vehicle. The two vehicles quickly drove into the night and headed straight for the Shantang Town government...

"Ding-dong."

At this moment, You Hongmei sent another long message: "I thought about it all night, and maybe I really was wrong, Brother Feng. I shouldn't have been so blinded by greed and listened to You Dajun to frame you. I'm sorry."

"Brother Feng, have I bothered you? I only know I don't want to lose you, but I forgot that you might be happier without me. I'm sorry for hurting you. I know I'm a bad woman in your heart, and you've already come to terms with it and will never contact me again."

"Brother Feng, don't worry, I won't bother you anymore. My feelings for you are real, you don't need to doubt it. As long as you're doing well, as long as you're happy, I'll be content. I'm tired too, I want to rest. From now on, I'll keep my love for you buried in my heart. You have your own life and thoughts. Right now, I just want to tell you that I love you more than you can imagine. Now I need to convince myself not to bother you anymore. This is the last time I'll send you a message. Only today did I realize reality. It turns out that all the best things are not as good as just right. Life is so long, you can't avoid the people you're meant to meet, and you can't escape the trials you're meant to go through. I can't decide your appearance, nor can I decide your departure, so I can't force it. So I can only let you go, and let myself go too. Thank you for your companionship, even though it was so little. I wanted to enter your world and give you warmth, but no matter how hard I tried, I could never cross that door. So I'm leaving here. I hope you'll always be happy. I've done my best in my life..."

Ma Feng looked at the text message sent by You Hongmei on his phone.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

She was immediately alarmed and quickly took a screenshot of the chat history and sent it to Xiao Zhan, then called Xiao Zhan.

"Beep beep beep".

The call connected quickly, and Xiao Zhan asked in a deep voice on the other end, "Ma Feng, what's the matter?"

Ma Feng told the truth: "Brother Zhan, You Hongmei has been texting me a lot, and I think it's very strange. I'm taking some men to arrest her now."

Xiao Zhan: "What did she say to you?"

Ma Feng: "I've already sent you the screenshot."

Xiao Zhan: "Wait a moment, don't hang up, let me check."

After a while,

Xiao Zhan said, "This is definitely a trap."
