Zhang Beixing spoke with utmost sincerity, his words carrying an invisible allure that made one involuntarily captivated.

Not only did Lao Diao believe it, but even the Red Cell team members and Tang Xinyi, who was being held hostage, couldn't help but feel a strong sense of unease.

Is Captain Zhang really planning to let this heinous international fugitive go free for my sake?!

Only then did the old eagle slowly reveal its true eye, move its gaze, and stand behind Tang Xinyi, looking towards Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing still wore a gentle, spring-like smile, which put everyone at ease.

Old Eagle and Zhang Beixing locked eyes for a split second, and then Zhang Beixing snapped his fingers.

He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a seductive quality that pierced straight to the heart.

"Give me the detonator."

Zhang Beixing's voice is beyond question.

Upon hearing Zhang Beixing utter such an "unreasonable" remark, Tang Xinyi couldn't help but frown slightly.

In this situation, the biggest thing that allowed the old eagle to survive was the detonation button in his hand.

Without the detonator, he would surely die!
Only a fool would obediently hand over the detonator!

"it is good!"

Tang Xinyi shivered inexplicably when she heard the response behind her.

what's the situation?
Old Eagle actually agreed!?

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Eagle threw the detonator in his hand at Zhang Beixing with a forceful movement.

Before the detonator could land, Zhang Beixing suddenly raised his hand, and a silver streak shot out from his sleeve.

—Bang!

A scalpel was plunged into the detonator, which instantly shattered into pieces and was completely destroyed!
The moment the detonator was destroyed, Old Eagle's eyes suddenly regained a moment of clarity, but as soon as he realized what was happening, his body swayed.

"boom!"

He Chenguang, who had been waiting for his chance for a long time, immediately pulled the trigger.

The sniper bullet, trailing a fiery tongue, swiftly pierced the old eagle's forehead.

The old eagle's body went limp, and it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Zhang Beixing smiled slightly at Tang Xinyi.

"Director Tang, we're safe now."

Tang Xinyi was dumbfounded by the scene that unfolded in the blink of an eye.

She was stunned for a long time, not understanding what had happened.

After a long while, Tang Xinyi slowly turned around, glanced at the old eagle lying on the ground, shot dead, and felt speechless.

Old Eagle?

I think you're a complete idiot!

The dozens of armed terrorists on the Vincent cargo ship were all either killed or wounded in the Red Cell Special Operations Group's overwhelming assault.

The mastermind behind this major international case, Lao Diao, was also inexplicably killed just now.

Just half a minute ago, the situation on the scene was extremely critical, with the possibility of mutual destruction at any moment.

The consequences of a poison gas bomb detonating would be unimaginable!

But who could have imagined that such a perilous situation would take such an unexpected and inexplicable turn of events, ending so quickly?

Where is the promised crisis and peril?

Zhang Beixing said to the old eagle: Give me the detonator.

The old eagle nodded and did as instructed without even blinking.

The result was obvious: the old eagle died on the spot.

Tang Xinyi stood there dumbfounded, completely baffled as to what had just happened.

She absolutely refused to believe that an internationally wanted criminal as ruthless as Lao Diao would so easily believe Zhang Beixing's words like a naive and innocent person.

The problem is, he actually believed it!
Tang Xinyi looked at Zhang Beixing with disbelief and asked in a daze, "How did you do that?"

Zhang Beixing was slightly taken aback, and asked in return, "What do you mean?"

Tang Xinyi raised her hand and pointed to the old eagle's corpse lying on the ground.

"How could he... how could he listen to you so much?"

Zhang Beixing was silent for a moment, then slowly stroked his chin and said earnestly to Tang Xinyi, "Perhaps you were moved by my sincerity?"

What the heck?

An internationally wanted criminal on the verge of certain death is moved by the sincerity of a Chinese soldier who wants to kill him.

You're kidding me!

Tang Xinyi felt that her intelligence had been insulted.

She suddenly looked up, her eyes meeting Zhang Beixing's with a piercing gaze.

Honestly... are you sure you have this?
Zhang Beixing met Tang Xinyi's gaze without flinching, completely at ease.

Suddenly, Zhang Beixing turned and roared at He Chenguang, who was occupying the high ground.

"Who the hell told you to shoot! Didn't you hear me promise to spare his life?"

He Chenguang stood up from the high point, carrying a sniper rifle, scratched his head and grinned at Zhang Beixing, then snapped to attention and saluted in a loud voice.

"I'm sorry, Captain! I'll go back and write a self-criticism!"

He said sorry, but there was no trace of remorse on his face.

It's clear that He Chenguang is quite happy to take the blame.

Zhang Beixing shrugged at Tang Xinyi, who looked completely bewildered.

"Director Tang, you saw it yourself. I really wanted to spare his life, but unfortunately, he wasn't so lucky."

Since he didn't have the luck, there was nothing he could do. Zhang Beixing felt helpless and silently mourned for the old eagle for 0.3 seconds.

Listen to this, is this even human language?

Tang Xinyi hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, showing absolutely no temper.

But it doesn't matter. Even if this old eagle doesn't die, he will eventually be severely punished by law, and death is the only thing waiting for him!
Zhang Beixing turned around and ordered his team to begin clearing the battlefield to prevent any survivors from escaping. At the same time, he re-established communication with Fan Tianlei.

"Number 5, the target has been killed, and the gas bomb has been confirmed safe."

Fan Tianlei replied: "Received, I will arrange for the chemical defense troops to board the ship immediately!"

……

"Okay, I understand. You Wolf Fang Special Forces did a great job this time."

Upon receiving news that the gas attack crisis had been successfully averted, Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei finally showed a relieved smile.

"At the military region's organizational meeting, I will strive for the greatest merit for the soldiers who are going on this expedition. The name of Wolf Fang shall resound throughout the Southeast Military Region!"

He Zhijun, who was sitting on the lower side of the command center, stood up in response.

"This is what we should do!"

Gao Shiwei nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Yes, very good. Sit down."

As he spoke, he glanced around at the other participants in the conference room, giving them all approving looks.

"Your entire combat team performed admirably during this crisis. Major General, order the air force to begin the evacuation." The Air Force Major General rose and saluted: "Yes, sir!"

Soon, the chemical defense troops boarded the ship in an orderly manner. The soldiers, fully equipped with chemical protective suits and carrying professional equipment, quickly entered the cabin and began to carry out the harmless transfer of the poison gas bombs.

The officer in charge expressed his gratitude to the Red Cell Special Team that carried out the raid.

"Captain Zhang Beixing, you can rest now. Leave the rest to us."

Zhang Beixing nodded and raised his hand in return.

"Fall back!"

Tang Xinyi followed the group out of the cabin. The sunlight shone on her slightly pale face, making her look even more beautiful and charming.

She came to this reunion with the old eagle with the determination to die.

Moreover, this operation was indeed fraught with peril; if it weren't for Zhang Beixing, she probably would already be... I can't even imagine the consequences.

Tang Xinyi stood on the deck, enjoying the gentle breeze from the sea, staring blankly at Zhang Beixing's composed figure.

This time, she escaped with her life, all thanks to the man in front of her.

The sun was shining brightly, and the sea breeze was gentle; for a moment, I felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

To be honest, she had known Zhang Beixing for a long time, and her impression of him was not bad.

However, due to a series of unforeseen events, their relationship became less intimate than when they first met. Instead, Zhang Yingying and Zhang Bei grew closer and closer. If only life could be like their first encounter...

Tang Xinyi shook her head, trying to clear her mind of these chaotic thoughts. A slight blush crossed her face, but fortunately no one noticed.

Good heavens, how could I have such filthy thoughts? It's so wrong of me! Zhang Beixing is a married man!
Just then, Zhang Beixing, who was standing in front, suddenly turned his head and glanced at her. Tang Xinyi lowered her head guiltily, avoiding his gaze and not daring to look directly at him.

Unexpectedly, when he looked up again, Zhang Beixing was already standing in front of him.

Tang Xinyi was startled, like a frightened rabbit, and reacted somewhat excessively, asking, "What?"

Zhang Beixing was a little confused and said, "It's nothing, but seeing you so quiet, I thought you were injured inside?"

Tang Xinyi shook her head: "I'm fine, I'm okay, I'm not hurt."

Zhang Beixing stared at her for a long time, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Tang Xinyi was indeed unharmed.

If the team leader himself has to take action, and another hostage is injured, the Red Blood Cell team will lose face big time!
With nothing else to do, Zhang Beixing gave a mischievous, slight smile.

"Director Tang, you have your stories and I have wine, how about we chat all night?"

The idea of ​​chatting all night was obviously a joke; even if Zhang Beixing were willing, An Ran would never agree...

As for the idea of ​​three people sharing a bed, Zhang Beixing wouldn't even dare to entertain such a thought, absolutely not!
One woman is troublesome enough; if another one comes along, it will be difficult to handle.

It's not that I'm physically exhausted, but rather that it takes too much mental effort, and once an argument breaks out, it's even more of a headache.

But this did not stop Zhang Beixing and Tang Xinyi from leaning against the railing and having a long chat on the deck, facing the sea breeze.

As the warm and gentle sea breeze blows, the shackles in my heart unconsciously loosen a little.

"Swallowtail Butterfly was my former code name."

“When I was seventeen, I was sent by the organization to infiltrate Lao Diao’s criminal group. It took me five years to gradually rise from the bottom to become Lao Diao’s most trusted right-hand man.”

"During those five years, I felt like I was living in hell every day. I didn't even dare to sleep deeply, for fear that I would reveal my secrets in my sleep. I lived cautiously, as if walking on thin ice."

“I did a lot of things for him, including many crimes, such as murder and arson. Because I was an undercover agent, many of the records were erased from the file, but I can’t forget them.”

"In a later operation, I worked with insiders and paid a huge price to eliminate that criminal group, but Lao Diao still escaped. To be honest, I still have nightmares about him occasionally."

Zhang Beixing asked casually, trying to kill time while waiting for the speedboat, but Tang Xinyi opened up and began to talk about her past.

“I never thought I would see him again. Although I was still filled with fear, I came without hesitation when the commander called.”

"Whether it's the honor of being a soldier or the evil deeds I committed while undercover, I think I will wash it away one day. I even thought about dying together with the old eagle."

Tang Xinyi let out a heavy sigh, glanced at Zhang Beixing standing quietly beside her, and felt a mix of emotions.

"At the moment when the old eagle was holding me hostage and we were about to die together, I realized that I actually wanted to live more. You gave me a chance to be reborn."

After he finished speaking, there was a long silence.

After hearing so much about Tang Xinyi's dark past, Zhang Beixing felt some sympathy, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

After a long pause, he finally managed to utter a sentence.

"Yes, you are very strong."

Tang Xinyi glanced at him with a half-smile, but didn't reply.

The two fell silent again.

At that moment, a deafening roar came from the sky.

Whoosh-!
Whoosh-!
In the clear blue sky, two fighter jets that had been waiting for a long time roared past each other and began to move away from the sea.

With the gas crisis resolved, fighter jets no longer need to expend fuel and energy here.

The armed helicopters circling overhead gradually climbed the altitude and flew away towards the shore.

- Om!

The engine roared, and the ship drew sharp lines of waves around it as Marine Corps speedboats surrounded it from all directions.

After several speedboats docked beside the ship, combat personnel dressed in navy blue uniforms quickly boarded the vessel.

Hurried footsteps sounded behind the two. Turning around, they saw squads of naval soldiers, armed with short assault rifles, conducting a final hazard check and clearing personnel from the entire ship.

The sergeant leading the team had dark skin and a sturdy build. He walked with a powerful stride, and Zhang Beixing recognized him at a glance.

He greeted her with a delighted smile.

"Squad Leader Lao Hei!"

That middle-aged naval sergeant was none other than Lao Hei, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.

Since the Iron Fist Regiment was reorganized and transferred to the Navy, there have been few opportunities to reunite with former comrades.

Hearing someone call his squad leader, Lao Hei looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhang Beixing. A smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Well done, lads! So it's you guys. I was wondering who could fight such a brilliant battle!"

Old Hei laughed heartily and stepped forward.

"It was a case that happened at sea, but it resulted in your army special forces being dispatched. As a result, we can only come up here to clean up the battlefield."

Zhang Beixing remained calm and pretended to be reserved, saying, "We must win every battle and conquer every city. This is a fine tradition we inherited from the Iron Fist Regiment, and we can't lose it no matter where we go."

Old Hei nodded, looking Zhang Beixing up and down, who was becoming increasingly resolute and upright, and couldn't help but sigh.

"A day apart feels like three autumns! You young men have grown up so fast, it makes me, your squad leader, feel ashamed."

Zhang Beixing smiled amicably and said, "I allow you, squad leader, to be a little proud. After all, no matter where we go, we are all soldiers you trained."

"Haha, right!" Old Hei said happily, "Hey, where are He Chenguang and the others?"

Zhang Beixing replied, "We're all on the boat. I guess we'll have to take your boat back later, squad leader."

"No problem, it's a piece of cake!" Old Hei said. "If this raid mission had fallen to our Marine Corps, it would have been a tough battle, and we don't know how many soldiers would have sacrificed their lives. I really want to thank you."

As he spoke, Lao Hei's gaze swept over Tang Xinyi, who was standing to the side.

"Who is this...?"

Zhang Beixing introduced, "This is Director Tang from the Military Region's Games Office."

Hearing Zhang Beixing's perfunctory introduction, as if deliberately keeping his distance, Tang Xinyi felt a strange sense of loss and, almost unconsciously, introduced herself. (End of Chapter)
