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

"Haha, it's okay if you don't answer me now."

"I'm afraid you'll be begging me to answer your questions later."

After saying that, Xiao Zhan laughed and turned to walk out of the room.

"Thud!"

At the doorway, Xiao Zhan lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. Watching the rising smoke, Xiao Zhan knew in his heart that his uncle's death was definitely related to Lin Weihai and this Ishida Mako...

Just then, Xia Keke walked over and whispered, "Did you finish asking so quickly?"

Xiao Zhan withdrew his gaze and looked at Xia Keke, saying, "Ishida Mako is indeed not simple. She refused to answer my questions on the grounds that I am not an investigating police officer."

Xia Keke smiled and asked, "So, what was your first impression of this woman?"

Xiao Zhan curled his lip and said, "A woman from a small country like Japan, she had better not mess with me, otherwise, I'll kill her without hesitation."

"Our country's deepening reform and opening up embraces all rivers, but not just any kind of monsters and demons can come and cause trouble. If we don't show our strength, they'll really think we're easy to bully!"

Xia Keke laughed and said, "Is President Xiao about to go on a killing spree?"

Xiao Zhan: "I've been back for a while now. To cooperate with your National Security Bureau in dealing with those 'butchers' from India, I've been keeping quiet and playing the coward. Now that the 'butchers' have been eliminated and the ban lifted, I'm going to make a strong comeback. I'll use this as a starting point."

Xia Keke exclaimed happily, "Hahaha, I've finally witnessed the return of a true king of soldiers!"

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "Assistant Xia, you're in charge of following up on this matter. Mu Xiuzi and Lin Yewei are both lying."

"Your National Security Bureau should focus on investigating the relationship between Lin Wei-hao and Ishida Mako. I suspect that this Lin Wei-hao is not a simple person."

Xia Keke: "I understand!"

Xiao Zhan looked at Lin Ruoxi, who was standing anxiously at the door, and said to Xia Keke, "We're going to the Lin family to find my mother now. She called me earlier and said she wanted to tell me about my uncle, which might be related to his death."

Xia Keke: "Okay!"

at this time,

in the room,

As Ishida Mako watched Xiao Zhan turn and walk away, a sudden, inexplicable panic gripped her heart.

So she asked the policeman sitting in front of her, "Captain Ling, what was this Mr. Xiao doing just now?"

The police officer looked up at Ishida Mako, remembering the instructions given by Chief Li Chaobing earlier. He then said, "Miss Mako, you do business in the capital, surely you don't even know Xiao Zhan, the eldest son of the Xiao family? The deceased, Lin Zijian, was Xiao Zhan's uncle and father-in-law."

Mako Ishida exclaimed, "He's Xiao Zhan?"

The policeman grinned and said, "In Beijing, there's only one Xiao Zhan. Even our Director Li has to give Young Master Xiao some face. He just met with the three of you separately."

Mako Ishida's heart tightened, and she asked, "You're saying Xiao Zhan has already met with Mu Xiuzi and Lin Weihao?"

The police officer nodded, closed the interrogation logbook, stood up, and said, "Ms. Mako Ishida, the questioning is over. You can leave now. However, from now on, you cannot leave the city. Keep your contact information up-to-date and be available for any police summons."

Mako Ishida: "I know Captain Ling."

The policeman walked out of the room, went to the front door, and got into a minibus. Li Chaobing sat in the bus and looked at the surveillance camera in front of him.

The police officer stepped forward and reported, "Chief Li, Mako Ishida is not cooperating with Mr. Xiao."

Li Chaobing pointed to the monitor screen and said, "I saw it all, Ling Xiao. Just as Xiao Zhan said, this murder case is very strange. Many things don't match the statements of the parties involved. In particular, what the two witnesses said is unbelievable. Their testimonies differ from the evidence we found at the scene in many details. The truth cannot be hidden, and the falsehood cannot be made true. You should focus on interrogating the murderer, Mu Xiuzi, and find a solid chain of evidence."

The police officer's name is Ling Xiao, and he is the captain of the criminal investigation team of the branch bureau.

Ling Xiao's body stiffened, and he said, "It's the director."

Xiao Zhan walked to the door and said to Lin Ruoxi, "You should go back and take care of things at home first. The police need to take your uncle's body back for an autopsy before they can bring it home."

Lin Ruoxi's eyes were swollen from crying as she said, "Xiao Zhan, can you come back with me?"

"The house is in complete chaos right now. My mom has fainted several times from crying, and my two younger brothers are traveling out of town and are on their way back. I don't know what to do. Ugh..."

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "Don't cry yet. You are the pillar of the Lin family, and you need to make many decisions."

"I'm going to the Lin family now."

Even the strongest woman has weaknesses, and at this moment, she desperately needs someone to comfort her.

Hearing that Xiao Zhan was also going, Lin Ruoxi felt much more at ease...

So Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke got into the Maybach, and Shen Jun immediately started the car and drove towards the Lin family's house...

Lin Ruoxi got into her Ferrari.

She has two bodyguard cars protecting her, so there shouldn't be any security issues.

After half an hour,

When Xiao Zhan arrived at the Lin family compound, he saw that a white curtain had been hung above the main gate, and many wreaths were placed on both sides of the gate. It seemed that some people had come to the Lin family to pay their respects after receiving news of Lin Zijian's death...

Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke walked to Lin Zijian's mourning hall. No matter what, the dead should be respected, and he was their own uncle.

Xiao Zhan walked over and knelt down respectfully, kowtowing three times.

At this moment, someone stepped forward and handed Xiao Zhan a white cloth to tie around his waist and a black gauze to wear on his arm.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan saw his mother waving to him, so he quickly waved back to Xia Keke to say hello.

Then she walked over and asked in a low voice, "Mom, you called and said you had something to tell me. What is it?"

Lin Wanrong's eyes were already swollen from crying. She pulled Xiao Zhan and said, "Son, come with me."

Xiao Zhan followed his mother into a room next door.

Xiao Zhan saw that his grandfather, Uncle Yu, and his father were all there.

So, out of curiosity, he asked, "Grandpa, why are you all here?"

Xiao Huai'an glanced at Xia Keke who was following behind, then pointed to the chairs and said, "You two sit down first."

So Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke sat down.

Xiao Huai'an said, "Lin Xiaotian and I are brothers who have been through thick and thin together. We retired from the military one after the other and then founded the Xiao Group and the Lin Group respectively. For decades, our two families have always supported each other and cooperated for mutual benefit. However, since Lin Xiaotian fell ill and passed away, and Lin Zijian took over the Lin Group, the Lin Group has been on a downward trend. The reason for this is not that Lin Zijian did not manage it well, but that someone has been hiding in the dark and coveting the Lin family's business."

"Lin Zijian has also been secretly investigating this matter, but he has not been able to find the mole hiding in the shadows."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, Uncle already knew there was a spy among his men?"

Xiao Huai'an nodded and continued, "Six months ago, Lin Zijian came to me and said that he had fallen for a scam that someone had designed specifically for him, and he was now deeply trapped in it and could not extricate himself."

"Then he told me about his plan."

"So that's how your mother accidentally had your father's research results stolen by Lin Zijian, and how I spent 600 million to buy back the three-nanometer chip technology. Actually, I was secretly helping the Lin family."

"As for what happened afterward, Xiao Zhan, you know about it or were involved in it."

"The plan was going smoothly, and we were about to find the mole lurking in the Lin family and the mastermind behind it all."

"I just didn't expect Lin Zijian to die so suddenly. It seems that we are not far from uncovering the truth."

At this moment, Xiao Fei looked at Lin Wanrong and asked, "So you're saying that you let Lin Zijian steal my research results, and that Dad instructed you to do this on purpose?"

Lin Wanrong rolled her eyes at Xiao Fei and said angrily, "Otherwise what? Don't you know what kind of person I am after all these years? Do you really think I'm so stupid that I have no bottom line?"
