"I need to see her first to make sure."

Chen Li was completely caught up in the changes, and if he wanted Zi Yan to live, he had no choice but to compromise.

"Before dark, I need to receive news that Yuan Tao has died suddenly in prison. The photo will be sent to your phone. I wish you success."

The call ended, and a photo was sent to me.

In the photo.

Zi Yan was sitting in a casual restaurant eating a hamburger when the person sitting next to her was disguised as her.

Clearly, she hadn't noticed anything amiss, and her eyes gleamed with delight as she looked at him.

The other side of warmth is insidious and cunning killing.

Chen Li turned off his phone, opened the door, walked out, and said to the sobbing Lu Xue:

"I'll bring Ziyan back before dark. You stay here and don't go anywhere. Trust me."

Lu Xue threw herself into her arms and burst into tears:

"Ziyan is my only hope for survival. Please, please bring her back."

Chen Li patted her back to comfort her, and surprisingly sensed that she had a kind of innate yin energy in her body, which was even stronger than that in Mu Ningshuang's body.

In other words, you can cultivate with her to regulate yin and yang energies and gradually heal internal injuries!

This unexpected discovery brought Chen Li great joy.

"Why don't you go make dinner first, and we can eat when we get back?"

Chen Li cupped her face and kissed her forehead to calm her down.

"Um."

Lu Xue nodded, her voice choked with emotion, and watched Chen Li walk out of the house.

Come downstairs.

Chen Li drove to the police station, thinking about his words along the way, and then called Song Qingtong.

Chen Li asked:

"How's the interrogation going?"

Song Qingtong sighed:

"This batch of goods was transported from Southeast Asia. After being picked up by a deep-sea fishing vessel, it was delivered to Yuncheng. The buyers came from major cities in mainland China. As for the people behind it, Yuan Tao refused to say."

Chen Li asked:

"Where is Guo Cailin?"

Song Qingtong replied:

She said she wasn't involved and knew nothing about it when asked.

Hearing this explanation, Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief. If Yuan Tao had already told him, the special operations team would have directly launched the arrest of Tiger, and it would have been unnecessary for him to go or not.

Chen Li said in a pleading tone:

"I'd like to talk to Yuan Tao; maybe he can help you."

Song Qingtong knew about the hatred between Chen Li and Yuan Tao. She feared that if Chen Li didn't resolve his inner conflict, he would never be able to overcome this obstacle in his life. Finally, she said:

"I can make an exception and let you in, but be mindful of your words."

Little did she know that Chen Li wanted to use her trust in him to silence Yuan Tao.

Arrived at the police station.

Staff led Chen Li to the interrogation room.

Song Qingtong stood in front of the monitor screen, watching every move in the monitoring room.

After Chen Li entered, he sat down at the interrogation table.

Yuan Tao slowly raised his head, squinting in the light overhead. His triangular eyes were filled with malice, and he struggled like a trapped beast.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

Chen Li leaned back in his chair, twirling his pen, and said casually:

"You've gotten to this point entirely because you've been consumed by your own desires; you have no one else to blame but yourself."

"Besides, you used schemes and tricks to set me up in jail, and now you're reaping the consequences of your actions. You can't accept that?"

"What goes around comes around!"

Unable to break free of the handcuffs, Yuan Tao sat back down, panting heavily, and said with resentment:

"Don't be so smug! My godfather won't let you get away with this. He'll tear you to pieces! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

His voice was loud, echoing in the cold interrogation room.

Chen Li picked at his ear and asked deliberately:

"Given my understanding of your capabilities, you couldn't possibly handle such a large deal on your own. There must be someone behind you, right?"

"Tell me your story, and maybe you can make amends and get a suspended death sentence, or even life imprisonment."

"In short, money and loyalty are all external things; life is what truly belongs to you."

"Think it over carefully, I have plenty of time."

Yuan Tao sneered:

"You think you can extract valuable information from me to benefit yourself? You're dreaming. Don't expect to learn any secrets from me."

"Even if I die, you won't have an easy time!"

Chen Li sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and asked curiously:

"I treated you well before, so why do you hate me so much and want to kill me?"

"Are you just an ungrateful dog, born to never be fed?"

Yuan Tao gave a sinister sneer:

"I am a person with an independent personality. I am not anyone's dog, and everyone calls you boss. You enjoy being flattered and can summon your subordinates at will, or cut them down whenever you want."

"Why should I be your dog and obey your orders?"

"Why can't I be the boss, the superior person, and have everyone grovel at my feet and lick my shoes?"

"Don't be so idle as to criticize others' table manners. If you were in their shoes, you would have done even worse!"

Chen Li nodded and said:

"Yes, that makes a lot of sense."

"I'm here for two reasons. First, to catch up with you. Second, once you've been shot, and after you've taken my used car dealership and restaurant, I'll take them all back."

"Secondly, I'd like to remind you on behalf of the Public Security Bureau: leniency is given for those who confess, and severity is given for those who resist."

"From this day forward, all our grudges are wiped clean, and we are no longer friends or relatives."

Chen Li stood up, walked up to him, and patted him on the shoulder.

Yuan Tao was weak and could not detect that Chen Li was secretly gathering his true energy and internal strength. As he struck, Chen Li poured his true energy into Yuan Tao's body, which then spread throughout his body along his meridians.

Chen Li is a Grandmaster, his true energy is like a sea, surging and boundless.

Yuan Tao had only practiced a smattering of martial arts, which was nothing compared to Chen Li's internal strength. He couldn't withstand the infusion of hidden energy.

This is similar to an electrical appliance being suddenly struck by a high-voltage current.

When similar situations occur in humans, the damage can range from minor damage to the meridians to severe congestion in the limbs affecting blood circulation and causing the heart to work under high load. The consequence is that the entire person may be rendered unusable if not careful.

Chen Li gave himself time to back down and didn't kill him; otherwise, those two pats on the shoulder would have killed Yuan Tao instantly.

Yuan Tao thought the other person was showing him some mutual respect and bidding him a heartfelt farewell.

Who would have thought that such a ruthless act would take place behind the calm facade?

Chen Li got up and walked towards the interrogation room. He heard Yuan Tao spitting at him and cursing behind him, not at all like a young man who was trying to reform himself.

The interrogation room door closed.

Just a cup of warm water disrupted the balance within his body, like detonating a time bomb, completely destroying Yuan Tao's body.

Song Qingtong walked out of the monitoring room. Several eyes were watching her, but she couldn't find anything wrong with Chen Li. Instead, she felt that he was trying to persuade Yuan Tao to reform.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Chen Li spread his hands and shrugged helplessly at her.

"It's normal for someone like Yuan Tao to resist stubbornly. Once time wears down his spirit, he can't see any hope of survival, his psychological defenses collapse, and he will naturally reveal who's behind it all."

"Thank you for taking the bullet for me. Didn't the doctor tell you to rest in bed? Why did you have to come out?"

Chen Li sighed:

"I should see my old friend off, shouldn't I? If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. Please give him a glass of water for my sake."

"Okay, Xiao Liu, prepare a glass of water for Yuan Tao."

Without much thought, Song Qingtong instructed her subordinates to personally escort Chen Li to safety.

Xiao Liu, carrying a plastic cup of water, entered the interrogation room and said:

"Yuan Tao, drink some water first, then think it over carefully and confess honestly!"

From the hotel to the police station, without a drop of water, my mouth was already parched.

Yuan Tao picked up the plastic cup and gulped it down in one go!

The water glass had just been put down.

Yuan Tao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. Then, a pain the size of a pinhead spread like a black hole across his entire chest at an extremely fast speed, and his face turned pale.

Just as Xiao Liu was about to leave with the cup, he saw Yuan Tao clutching his chest, his face flushed, his brows furrowing and showing signs of pain.
