The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

He didn't utter a single word from beginning to end, and just like that, he committed suicide by taking poison.

"That despicable guy actually committed suicide, how hateful!"

Yang Xia looked at the two people who had died by poison and said angrily.

It seems the person behind this is incredibly powerful; once exposed, these people will only face certain death.

This further strengthened Yang Xia's determination to find the real culprit.

The truth behind it will soon be revealed, and Yang Xia is becoming more and more confident.

Yang Xia pretended nothing had happened and directly called Sun Zhengming. ...

"Brother Sun, who is in charge of assigning guards?"

When Yang Xia inquired about the specifics, he had already guessed who the mole behind it all was.

"What happened? I assigned Liu Wei to handle this matter; he's one of my assistants."

Sun Zhengming was completely bewildered and quickly explained the situation.

"Do you have another assistant? There were clearly two people standing next to you that day."

Yang Xia further verified the situation of the two people around Sun Zhengming.

"Yes, the other assistant is named Yang Qingyun, who is in charge of internal security."

Although he didn't know why Yang Xia was asking the two assistants about their situation in such detail, Sun Zhengming still quickly cooperated.

He knew something must have gone wrong, otherwise Yang Xia wouldn't have been interested in these things.

"Where exactly are they located?"

Yang Xia spoke urgently, giving Sun Zhengming no time to react.

"These two assistants, one lives at No. 22 Binjiang Road, and the other lives in the west alley..."

Sun Zhengming answered all of Yang Xia's questions truthfully.

Yang Xia recorded his words in detail, and then it was time to close the net.

“Arrest Liu Wei immediately. The two guards he sent attacked me on the way and have now died by poison.”

Yang Xia then recounted what had happened earlier, urging Sun Zhengming to arrest the person immediately.

"What? Is there such a thing? Is there a mistake?"

Sun Zhengming was shocked upon hearing the news. On the one hand, he was worried about Yang Xia's safety, and on the other hand, he felt that his subordinates could not possibly have done such a thing.

"Yang Xia, are you alright?"

Shocked, Sun Zhengming quickly inquired about Yang Xia's current situation, as Yang Xia had previously claimed that he was now the only one left in Yan Country.

"I'm fine. If something had happened to me, I wouldn't be able to call you right now. Do as I say and arrest Liu Wei."

Yang Xia decisively ordered Sun Zhengming to do as instructed, then hung up the phone; he had other plans.

After hanging up, I immediately called Mengyin.

"Go and capture Yang Qingyun immediately. I will send you his location."

Yang Xia instructed Meng Yin to go and capture Yang Qingyun at that location.

Thus, he ordered Sun Zhengming to arrest Liu Wei while simultaneously arresting Yang Qingyun himself.

Sun Zhengming had no idea why he was asked to arrest Liu Wei, but he could only do as he was told.

"General, why are you arresting me? I'm innocent! I didn't do anything!"

When Liu Wei was arrested, he repeatedly cried out that he was innocent and did not understand why he was being arrested.

"General, you know me best. I have always been loyal. Why are you treating me like this?"

Liu Wei complained incessantly, and Sun Zhengming felt a little sorry for him, thinking that he might have gone too far, after all, this was his old subordinate.

He really didn't know what to do, so he could only call Yang Xia.

"Yang Xia, are you mistaken? My men are always loyal and would never do anything outrageous."

"I can vouch for him with my integrity; please let him go."

Sun Zhengming actually took the initiative to plead for Liu Wei, wanting Yang Xia to release him, feeling that the matter was a misunderstanding.

“Brother Sun, you are too confused. Your fatal weakness is that you are too sentimental, which is why you have such problems.”

"If we continue to be so soft-hearted, there will likely be great trouble in the future."

Yang Xia naturally refused to release Liu Wei, and instead gave Sun Zhengming a lecture.

The existence of an internal mole is largely due to Sun Zhengming's involvement.

He believed he treated his subordinates like brothers, but he was unaware of the wickedness of human nature and was thus taken advantage of.

Since Yang Xia was involved in the investigation, he had to take it seriously and not allow Sun Zhengming to make the same mistake again.

“What you say makes some sense, but I still feel that my subordinates will not betray me.”

Sun Zhengming's feelings were very complicated, even somewhat painful.

Others may not understand the relationship between him and his subordinates, but he knows it better than anyone else.

Over the years, they have become as close as brothers, and there is no doubt about them.

But now Yang Xia has made such a decision, which is hard for Sun Zhengming to accept.

“Brother Sun, I’ll say it to you again: don’t be so sentimental and righteous in the future.”

"Although being loyal and sentimental is a good quality, it can be a big loss when leading troops. As a general, you must remain calm enough."

Yang Xia was at a loss as to how to communicate with Sun Zhengming.

He never expected that such a staunch and unyielding general would be so soft-hearted.

They're already facing problems, but they still refuse to accept reality.

Yang Xia even felt a sense of disappointment and frustration.

"Hehe, others naturally have no way of knowing the stories we've been through."...

"To be honest with you, my two assistants, Liu Wei and Yang Qingyun, have been with me through many battles and have crawled out of piles of dead bodies together. If you say they would betray me, I would never believe it even if you beat me to death."

Sun Zhengming couldn't help but smile wryly; he understood these principles better than anyone else.

Seeing Yang Xia constantly "instructing" him, as if he had become somewhat sentimental, Sun Zhengming naturally felt unconvinced.

He was also a renowned general, and it was through countless battles, large and small, that he achieved his current success.

Now that the Yan Kingdom is growing stronger, Sun Zhengming is also developing more and more smoothly, and he has always treated his soldiers like his own brothers.

Only those who have shared life and death can truly understand this kind of friendship.

"Yang Xia, you must provide me with solid evidence."

"I can't wrong my good brothers like that, it would break their hearts."

Sun Zhengming became more and more agitated as he spoke. Although Liu Wei had already been detained, he insisted that Yang Xia provide sufficient evidence.

Recalling the days when his brothers risked their lives for him, Sun Zhengming would feel extremely distressed if he were to wrong them.

Hearing that Sun Zhengming was emotional on the phone, Yang Xia felt quite helpless.

"Brother Sun, how could I wrong someone so easily? I hope you will think this through carefully."

"Don't always act on impulse, or you'll disrupt the overall situation."

Yang Xia couldn't help but sneer. He knew that Sun Zhengming had been blinded by the word "loyalty" and was not listening to anything he was saying.

Since that's the case, there's no need to continue entangled with the other party.

The situation is already somewhat chaotic, and Yang Xia can only do his best to control the situation and prevent it from deteriorating further.

As for Sun Zhengming, he will naturally understand everything once the final result is presented.

Yang Xia hung up the phone decisively; he would not change his mind.

Sun Zhengming was furious, and he imprisoned Liu Wei.

No wonder Liu Wei kept complaining to himself; being wronged is indeed heartbreaking. But Sun Zhengming didn't release him easily, fearing it would disrupt Yang Xia's plans.

The two had spent some time together and knew that Yang Xia was a formidable character.

Thus, Sun Zhengming suppressed his anger and imprisoned Liu Wei, waiting for a result to emerge.

If Yang Xia has truly wronged Liu Wei, Sun Zhengming will definitely demand an explanation; he cannot wrong his good brother like this.

Meanwhile, Yang Qingyun was also successfully captured in Mengyin.

Half an hour later, Yang Qingyun was taken to the hotel and appeared in front of Yang Xia.

"What right do you have to arrest me? You have no right to do so. I want to see General Sun."

Upon meeting, Yang Qingyun was extremely arrogant and did not bother to talk to Yang Xia at all.

"How can you still have the face to see Sun Zhengming? Do you need someone else to remind you of what you've done?"

"Sun Zhengming trusted you so much, even turning against me for traitors like you. Is this how you repay him?"

Yang Xia was inexplicably furious when he saw Yang Qingyun brazenly demanding to see Sun Zhengming. He never expected that even such a traitor could be so self-righteous.

"I did not do anything!"

Yang Qingyun naturally wouldn't easily admit what he had done, and his attitude remained arrogant.

"You orchestrated the shipyard explosion, and I never expected you to still deny it so vehemently. I truly feel sorry for Sun Zhengming."

Yang Xia pointed out the other party's actions directly, and Yang Qingyun's expression changed drastically.

As the saying goes, a guilty conscience needs no accuser, and knowing Yang Xia's prowess, he only harbored a sliver of hope that no one would suspect him.

They thought that was enough, since they were trusted by Sun Zhengming.

It now appears that Yang Xia must have had a large amount of evidence before he arrested himself.

Yang Xia was right; he was indeed ashamed to face Sun Zhengming now.

Normally, Sun Zhengming treated them like his own brothers, and he made this choice in a moment of confusion.

But now that the mistake has been made, Yang Qingyun will never admit it, because he cannot face everyone.

Some mistakes, once made, become permanent wounds.

Yang Qingyun was naturally filled with remorse. He had been blinded by greed and bribed, taking advantage of Sun Zhengming's trust to commit such a heinous act.

We must never let Sun Zhengming know that we were the ones who did all this.

Emotionally speaking, he really couldn't face Sun Zhengming.

Fortunately, Yang Qingyun felt that Yang Xia in front of him couldn't do anything to him.

"The mole has been identified; it's Liu Wei."...

"General Sun has already arrested him. You must have made a mistake. Please release me."

Perhaps in his eagerness to exonerate himself, Yang Qingyun uttered these words, which were exactly what Yang Xia wanted to hear.

"Hahahahaha..."

"To tell you the truth, arresting Liu Wei was just a smokescreen. The main purpose was to lower your guard so that you wouldn't escape easily."

"More importantly, my contact with Sun Zhengming is a one-way street, and the news of Liu Wei's arrest has not yet been leaked. How did you find out about it?"

Yang Xia sneered and told Yang Qingyun about the situation.

Only then did Yang Qingyun realize he had been tricked and had fallen into the other party's trap.

Those who commit many unrighteous acts will surely perish; in the end, their true colors were revealed.

"You and I……"

After hearing Yang Xia recount the whole story, Yang Qingyun blushed deeply and stammered for a long time, unable to give a coherent explanation.

"The truth cannot be hidden, and falsehoods are hard to become truth. Therefore, old foxes like you will eventually show their tails."

Yang Xia did not want to hear any of Yang Qingyun's explanations, because he already had all the evidence in his hands.

I know that such people are like dead pigs that are not afraid of boiling water; they will never easily bow their heads and confess their crimes until the very last moment.

Yang Xia simply presented the evidence extracted from the explosives at the scene to Yang Qingyun.

"Look, these explosion remnants extracted from the scene have been studied in detail and it has been confirmed that they originated from Nebula Country."

"And you are the only one who has had contact with the Nebula Kingdom."

Yang Xia presented all the evidence directly to him, leaving Yang Qingyun with no way to deny it.

Before making the arrest, Yang Xia had already obtained all the evidence; otherwise, he would not have acted so easily.

Such a capture operation, if leaked, would allow the perpetrator to escape and may never be caught.

Yang Qingyun has long been in cahoots with Xingyun Kingdom. If he finds out, he may flee to Xingyun Kingdom, and the losses will be incalculable.

When Yang Xia first obtained this evidence, he deeply hated these traitors.

He quietly collected all the evidence, all in preparation for the final arrest operation.

General Mengyin stood aside and witnessed Yang Xia's actions, secretly giving him a thumbs up in his heart.

Their king had never disappointed them.

Every time something happens, it always manages to be resolved in this miraculous way.

Whether it's a head-on confrontation on the battlefield or uncovering these cunning traitors, Yang Xia always manages to show a unique side.

No wonder Mengyin admires Yang Xia more and more, and now he doesn't question any of the questions Yang Xia raises.

Working alongside Yang Xia made them feel much more at ease.

There's absolutely no need to overthink it; just follow Yang Xia's instructions.

Mengyin firmly believed in this point: by closely following Yang Xia's footsteps, he would never make a mistake.

As in this incident, Mengyin was completely baffled and had no idea who the mole was.

Sun Zhengming cared for his subordinates so much, treating each of them like his own brothers. Logically, these people should not have easily betrayed him.

Compared to the real fighting on the battlefield, such matters are far more complicated.

The problem that even Sun Zhengming couldn't solve was easily resolved by Yang Xia after he took action.

Thinking it over carefully, Meng Yin was even more impressed; they finally understood how formidable Yang Xia was.

He was so cautious and careful with every step until he had Yang Qingyun completely under his control, before the other party could even react.

A person like Yang Xia will succeed in whatever he does.

"Yang Qingyun, let's see how you try to deny it now."

General Mengyin looked at Yang Qingyun triumphantly, knowing that he had no way to deny it at this moment. No matter how you look at it, Yang Qingyun could not escape the blame.

The timing of the arrest was very timely, giving the suspect no chance to escape.

All this evidence was laid bare before him, leaving him no room to deny it.

Yang Qingyun realized that he could no longer deny it, and finally lowered his proud head.

What he fears most now is facing Sun Zhengming.

Sometimes, that's just how it is; emotional betrayal is even harder to accept.

Yang Qingyun's mind flashed back to the image of Sun Zhengming's immense kindness to him.

They had crawled out of a pile of dead bodies together, so their bond was naturally deeper than that of blood brothers.

Sun Zhengming trusted him so much that Yang Qingyun was bewitched and became a traitor.

From the moment he took that first wrong step, it was too late.

No wonder Yang Qingyun went to great lengths to cover up his crimes, knowing that once exposed, everything would be over.

With all the evidence and inferences laid bare before him, Yang Qingyun had no way to deny it. (End of Chapter)
