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

"Shen Jun, park the car under that big tree up ahead."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow as he looked out the car window at the street.

"squeak!"

Shen Jun parked the Maybach under a camphor tree by the roadside, then looked at the navigation and asked, "Mr. Xiao, why did we stop here? We're still over 300 meters from our destination!"

Xiao Zhan got out of the car and said, "Driving a Maybach into the alley to look for someone will attract too much attention. Isn't that openly telling Yao Dahai's people that we're here to see him?"

Shen Jun got out of the car and said with a shameful expression, "The instructor is indeed very considerate."

As Xiao Zhan walked, he gave instructions: "Shen Jun, come with me. The rest of you, stay put."

"clear!"

The other bodyguards said in unison.

Shen Jun had to jog to keep up with Xiao Zhan's pace; the distance of several hundred meters was just a short distance under Xiao Zhan's feet.

Following the address given by Xia Keke, Xiao Zhan stopped in front of a semi-new courtyard house in the middle of the alley.

These courtyard houses are extremely common in Beijing.

Suddenly, Xia Keke emerged from the corner and whispered to Xiao Zhan, "Yao Dahai and his mistress are taking a nap in the north room. This is where one of his mistresses rents a place."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it just Yao Dahai alone?"

"As the deputy gang leader, he should have bodyguards when he goes out!"

Xia Keke nodded and said, "We did bring two bodyguards, but it's lunchtime now, and Yao Dahai and Xiao San are being lovey-dovey in bed, so we sent the two bodyguards to a small restaurant on the street to eat. Just now, the person in charge of keeping watch reported that the two bodyguards are drinking beer to cool off."

Xiao Zhan grinned and said, "Yao Dahai is really carefree. Even at a time like this, he still has the mind to take a nap with a woman in his arms."

Xia Keke blushed slightly and whispered, "Yao Dahai doesn't know we're looking for him. That old bastard used to be a notorious thug in Beijing. He ruined a lot of women when he was young, and he's a seasoned hoodlum who's been in and out of jail three times."

Xiao Zhan pursed his lips and said, "I can go by myself. If you, a woman, see something you shouldn't, you might get corns."

Xia Keke was speechless.

She rolled her eyes in exasperation and said, "Mr. Xiao, why are you talking so much nonsense? If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have already taken action. What kind of scene haven't I seen?"

Xiao Zhan wasn't angry and laughed, "Hehe, then let's go catch Yao Dahai together. I heard that Yao Dahai is only in his forties this year. When he was young, he had a chance encounter and became a disciple of the abbot of Hongluo Temple. His martial arts skills are quite remarkable; usually, three or five strong men can't get close to him."

Xia Keke curled her lip and said disdainfully, "That depends on who he's facing. If it's someone from our National Security Bureau dealing with him, it's a piece of cake."

Xiao Zhan knew Xia Keke wasn't exaggerating; the members of the National Security Action Team were all highly skilled and each possessed unique abilities.

Xia Keke frowned and said, "According to intelligence, Yao Dahai has a pistol, and his two bodyguards also carry pistols and daggers. We don't know if the mistress has any weapons. There's no time to investigate because of the urgency. This mistress is a hostess at a nightclub."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "So what if he has a gun?"

"The guns we have aren't firewood sticks."

Xia Keke's eyes flashed and her expression was serious as she said, "Comrade Xiao Zhan, it's broad daylight in a courtyard house, and people are living in the east and west wing rooms. We absolutely cannot let Yao Dahai fire first, and we must also prevent Yao Dahai from taking his mistress hostage to threaten us."

Xiao Zhan frowned and said, "This is so troublesome."

Xia Keke said seriously, "Our National Security missions are different from your special forces missions. When we are on a mission, no matter what happens, we cannot harm the people. That's the bottom line."

Xiao Zhan thought for a moment, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Leave Yao Dahai to me. I guarantee I won't fire a single shot to take him down."

Xia Keke: "How confident are you? If you're not, wait until Yao Dahai walks out of the courtyard before making the arrest!"

Xiao Zhan sneered, "He's just a big thug, I can handle him, please trust my abilities, okay?"

Xia Ke could see that Xiao Zhan's tone was firm and his expression was serious.

So he said, "You rush in to deal with Yao Dahai, and I'll rush in to control his mistress. Let's finish this quickly."

Others acted according to the circumstances.

Xiao Zhan nodded, his eyes cold and his fighting spirit high, and said, "Alright, let's do it this way."

After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he stepped into the courtyard gatehouse.

suddenly,

"squeak!"

The door to the east wing opened, and an elderly man with gray hair, wearing shorts and a t-shirt, walked out of the room, holding a palm-leaf fan in his left hand and a small bamboo chair in his right.

Judging from the old man's appearance, he was probably cooling off on the street near the courtyard gate.

It was too late for Xiao Zhan to back out at this point...

As soon as the old man sees that Xiao Zhan is a stranger, he will inevitably ask Xiao Zhan who he is looking for, which will then alarm Yao Dahai in the north house.

It's hard to say what will happen if Yao Dahai is alerted.

At this critical moment.

Xia Keke hugged Xiao Zhan's neck tightly, her warm and soft body pressing against him, and then her hot, fragrant lips kissed Xiao Zhan's thin lips.

All of this happened so suddenly.

Xiao Zhan was completely unprepared. Just as he was about to push Xia Keke away, he heard Xia Keke whisper, "Hold me tight, kiss me, be more passionate, don't let the master know that we don't belong in this courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan instantly realized what was happening, quickly grabbed Xia Keke's head, and then passionately responded...

Just then, the old man walked over and saw a young couple leaning against the wall of the gatehouse, passionately kissing. He wanted to see whose children they were, but the two young people were holding each other's heads too tightly and were too engrossed in their kiss to see clearly. He couldn't very well put his face close to theirs to see.

The old man muttered, "Whose son and daughter are they? Kissing each other in broad daylight at the door. Don't they have time to kiss when they get home? Young people these days are so impulsive."

The old man walked to the door, placed a small bamboo chair under the tree, sat down, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.

Xia Keke gently nudged Xiao Zhan and whispered in his ear, "Xiao Zhan, that's enough. You can start now."

Xiao Zhan looked up at the door and whispered, "That was really close. Luckily you reacted quickly, otherwise we might have alerted Yao Dahai, and we might have had to abandon the operation."

Xia Keke said dismissively, "We often encounter various unexpected situations when carrying out missions, and we must adapt to the changing circumstances to turn danger into safety."

Xiao Zhan nodded, glanced at the north wing where there was no movement, and whispered, "Move!"

Then, with a swift movement, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and pounced towards the north wing.

"Bang!"

Xiao Zhan kicked open the wooden door of the north wing and rushed in like a whirlwind.

"What the hell are you?"

A loud shout suddenly rang out in the room.

"Bang!"

"Ouch!"

"Bang!"

There was a sound of someone falling to the ground, and then the room returned to silence.

When Xia Keke rushed into the room after him, she saw a middle-aged man in his forties lying at Xiao Zhan's feet, shirtless and wearing only underwear. It was Yao Dahai.

A woman in her early twenties, wrapped in a blanket, huddled in the corner of the bed, trembling with fear. Her pale face and terrified eyes stared at Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke.

Xia Keke saw that Yao Dahai's eyes were closed and he was motionless, so she knew that he had been knocked unconscious by Xiao Zhan.

So he shouted into his headset, "Vehicles, move in immediately."

"clear!"

"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah~"

An ambulance came speeding by.

"Bang!"

Two male medical staff pushed a stretcher into the hospital, lifted Yao Dahai onto the stretcher, and quickly carried him outside into the ambulance.

At this moment, the old man sitting at the door asked in shock, "Comrade, what's wrong with him?"

A medical worker said, "This kid got drunk, did something bad, and then had a stroke."

"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah."

The ambulance drove away quickly.

The old man watched the ambulance drive away and muttered to himself, "Young people these days really don't know how to control themselves."
