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

at this time,

in the room.

Mako Ishida sat opposite Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke.

Looking at the two people in front of her, she knew she was in big trouble.

Because she had met Xia Keke once before, she knew that this beautiful woman was a very difficult national security officer.

"Thud!"

Xiao Zhan lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then blew a cloud of smoke directly onto Ishida Mako's face.

He did it on purpose; he wanted to provoke Mako Ishida...

"Cough cough cough..."

Ishida Mako coughed several times, choked by the choking sound. She frowned and looked at Xiao Zhan angrily, saying, "Mr. Xiao, you've gone too far. Is this how you treat me just because I didn't answer your question earlier? I'm going to complain to your superiors about you."

Xiao Zhan laughed, "Hahaha, Ishida Mako, what are you going to complain about me for? Did I choke you with my cigarette? Or did I flirt with you? Who can prove that!"

"Also, do you know who my superior is?"

Mako Ishida's expression froze upon hearing this!

She really didn't know who Xiao Zhan's superior was.

To be precise, she didn't know what Xiao Zhan did for a living.

All I know is that Xiao Zhan is the eldest son of the most powerful family in the capital.

Mako Ishida couldn't help but look at Xia Keke and said, "Comrade Xia is from the National Security Bureau, so you must be her colleague. I am a foreigner and have been insulted. This is a diplomatic incident."

Xiao Zhan blew another puff of smoke into Ishida Mako's face and said, "You guessed wrong, Comrade Xia and I are not colleagues."

Ishida Mako rolled her eyes in exasperation and said, "Then who are you? Since you're not a public official, what right do you have to interrogate me?"

Xia Keke raised an eyebrow and said, "Ishida Mako, we've known each other for a long time, so let's not beat around the bush. Are you going to confess voluntarily, or do you want me to tell you? You need to know that the two are different. The former is considered your surrender, while the latter is a more serious crime."

"Oh right, Lin Weihua has already confessed."

Ishida Mako's expression remained unchanged as she listened to Xia Keke's words. If a professional spy could be intimidated by a few words, she would be unqualified and would probably have already revealed her flaws and been arrested.

Then Ishida Mako said, "Comrade Xia, I don't understand what you're saying. I'm here because my secretary was raped by Lin Zijian. Under the specific circumstances at the time, she accidentally killed Lin Zijian. I'm here to cooperate with your police investigation. Why do you make it sound like I've committed a crime?"

"Furthermore, what Lin Wei-hao said has nothing to do with me. He is him, and I am me. My relationship with him was merely a cooperative one. Now that Lin Zi-jian is dead, our cooperation has been canceled, and we have no connection whatsoever from now on. So please, Director Xia, do not associate me with him."

Xia Keke was about to speak.

"Knock knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door.

Immediately, Li Chaobing pushed open the door and poked his head out, saying, "Director Xia, come out for a moment."

Xia Keke got up, walked out of the room, and closed the door behind her.

Now only Xiao Zhan and Ishida Mako remain in the room.

Xiao Zhan looked at Ishida Mako and sneered…

Then Ishida Mako said, "Mr. Xiao, there may be a misunderstanding between us. I didn't know you before and my attitude towards you was not good. I formally apologize to you."

Xiao Zhan sneered, "There's no need for an apology. Lin Zijian is my uncle. You know best how he died. I will definitely find out the truth and avenge my uncle."

Mako Ishida feigned an innocent expression and said, "Lin Zijian is really too lecherous. He used the contract to blackmail me into letting him play with Mu Xiuzi for one night. You can go to the hotel to check the surveillance video. After that, he wanted to do whatever he wanted in my office. Mu Xiuzi was so bullied by him that she accidentally killed him."

"You can't shift the blame onto me. What responsibility Mu Xiuzi needs to bear is her business, it has nothing to do with me. As Mu Xiuzi's boss, I bear the responsibility for inadequate management, and I will absolutely not shirk the responsibility that is mine to bear!"

Xiao Zhan sneered, "Ishida Mako, you're truly a silver-tongued liar, capable of twisting the truth. Do you think I can't find out the truth?"

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, Mu Xiuzi has been rescued. She was lucky that she was stopped twice by the internet cable and tree branches when she jumped. She was seriously injured, but she is now out of danger."

Upon hearing this, Mako Ishida paused, a flicker of panic flashing deep in her eyes, and her lips involuntarily twitched.

Xiao Zhan, who was watching her, noticed this subtle change in her.

"squeak!"

At this moment, the door opened, and Xia Keke and Li Chaobing walked in.

Xia Keke said to Xiao Zhan, "People from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy have come to request the release of Ishida Mako on bail."

"Release them!"

Xiao Zhan stood up and roared, "Isn't this ridiculous?"

Li Chaobing: "President Xiao, calm down. There's nothing we can do. We have to follow orders from above."

"Miss Mako, please come with me."

Mako Ishida stood up, straightened her clothes, and then strode gracefully toward the door.

Suddenly, she stopped and turned to look at Xiao Zhan, a smile playing on her lips. "Mr. Xiao, I can only feel deep regret over your uncle's death, but he truly deserved to die; he was too lecherous."

"Thump, thump!"

After speaking, Mako Ishida walked away in her Prada high heels...

Behind her,

Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke exchanged a smile.

Xia Keke smiled and said, "President Xiao, we worked together quite well. You have a real talent for acting."

Xiao Zhan chuckled and said, "Haha, it's mainly because your script is good, so I just acted according to it."

At this moment, Li Chaobing walked back and laughed, "Hahaha, you two stop flattering each other. Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills. I never thought that even being a policeman required acting."

Xia Keke laughed and said, "Director Li, of course you have to act. Not only do you have to know how to act, but you also have to act well. Otherwise, how can you get the other person into the role?"

Xiao Zhan looked into the distance and said, "The bait has been laid out; now it's up to the fish to take the bait."

Xia Keke said, "Let's go meet Lin Weihao, that traitor. That old guy is as cunning as a fox, hard to guess what he's thinking, and he's always hiding. He's been a clerk for decades, so he's not easy to deal with."

Xiao Zhan sneered, "Dealing with him is a piece of cake for me. If you don't believe me, let's go and see for ourselves."

Meanwhile, as Mako Ishida walked out of the police station courtyard, she saw that the embassy staff and her lawyer were waiting for her.

She walked straight up to the lawyer, raised her hand, and slapped him hard across the face.

"Snapped!"

The slap was loud and crisp.

The lawyer was completely stunned by the blow, covering his face and looking at Mako Ishida with confusion, asking, "Boss, why did you hit me? What did I do wrong?"

Mako Ishida gritted her teeth and forced out a sentence: "Hideko Ki isn't dead. Tell me, should I hit you or not?"

The lawyer paused, looked around, and was about to speak when Mako Ishida whispered, "Don't speak yet, we'll talk when we get back."

The group got into the car, and the driver drove out of the police station compound.

Mako Ishida asked the embassy staff member, "Why isn't Ambassador Takeda here?"

An embassy staff member said, "Ambassador Takeda is protesting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, otherwise Ms. Mako wouldn't have come out so quickly."

Mako Ishida nodded and said in a low voice, "Tell Ambassador Takeda to arrange for me to leave here as soon as possible. I'm being watched by the National Security Bureau. Damn it, they're watching me like a ghost."

Staff member: "Understood."

"I'll get off up ahead and go back to the embassy."

"squeak!"

The driver pulled over to the side of the road, and the embassy staff got out of the car.

The driver glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "Miss Mako, someone is following us."

Mako Ishida sneered, "Come along if you want. Consider yourself my bodyguard. Ono, find out which hospital Hideko Ki is in."
