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

at this time,

The atmosphere in the small conference room suddenly became tense.

The audience was silent.

All eyes turned to Xiao Zhan.

Even Ambassador Ouyang was secretly worried for Xiao Zhan.

After all, this isn't a home game, and to speak so confidently on someone else's turf—only Xiao Zhan would do that.

of course,

Ambassador Ouyang knew that Xiao Zhan was not one to speak without reason.

He is not the kind of person who only fights battles he is not sure of winning.

He had been communicated with by relevant domestic departments in advance.

The police chief abruptly stood up, his sharp eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Xiao Zhan with displeasure and said, "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that our T country government and Bangkok police are colluding with the Black Tiger Gang and its backers, engaging in illicit activities?"

Xiao Zhan smiled calmly and said with a confident expression, "Don't be in a hurry. I'm not just talking nonsense. I'll show you some information and data, and then you can question me."

Xia Keke then pulled out several A4 sheets of paper from her folder and placed them on the table, saying, "This is the relevant material we have. Of course, this is the only copy. We haven't had time to make a copy yet. It's for your reference only."

Xia Keke's meaning was that there was only one set of materials, and as long as you didn't go too far, we wouldn't disclose it to the public. You could destroy it on the spot. This way, we could save face for your T country government, get real benefits, and most importantly, get things done well, making both sides happy.

This is called leaving a way out for others so that you can meet again in the future.

The police chief looked at the materials on the table with surprise, then turned his gaze to Barto. Although he was of a higher rank than Barto, Barto was representing the Minister of the Interior at the time.

Barto calmly replied, "Let's see what the situation is first."

The police chief picked up the documents and glanced at them, his face darkening. The more he looked, the more sinister his expression became, until it was almost visibly grim. His hands were trembling as he held the documents.

Xiao Zhan continued, "To put it bluntly, this operation isn't a problem of a single country, but rather a massive 'gray empire' jointly constructed by multiple governments, gangs, corporations, and financial systems across Southeast Asia."

"And now it's time to unveil its mystery."

After reviewing the materials, the police chief handed them to Barto.

The police chief looked very frustrated.

Because the materials showed that many of his subordinates were involved, including several of his close confidants, fortunately he adhered to his principles and was not corrupted by those people...

Xiao Zhan then said, "To put it bluntly, this operation is a 'test of national destiny' for your country. Whether you can use this crackdown on fraud rings to eliminate corruption, stabilize your regime, and rebuild national credibility depends on your next steps. At the same time, for the Southeast Asian region, this is a stress test of its governance system. If this operation completely dismantles and destroys the fraud network, then your country's future will be cleaner and more transparent; if it fizzles out, it will be a disaster of trust."

Barto put down the materials, looked up at Xiao Zhan, and said, "Mr. Xiao, you're absolutely right. The Minister entrusted me to come here to fully support and cooperate with your operation."

"We will resolutely eradicate the Black Tiger Gang and the border telecom fraud park, and rescue the Chinese citizens who have been lured here."

Barto then told the police chief, "Immediately detain all those involved on the list, and the case will be reviewed by the oversight committee and finally handed over to the court for trial."

The police chief stood up and said, "Yes, sir, proceed immediately."

Then he pulled out his phone in front of everyone and started making calls to assign tasks.

Barto walked up to Xiao Zhan and extended his hand, saying, "Mr. Xiao, thank you for your efforts. On behalf of the Minister, I salute you and your colleagues."

Xiao Zhan forced a smile and said, "Mr. Barto, you're too kind. Combating crime is our common goal, and it's a long and arduous task."

"Beep beep beep".

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan's phone rang.

Seeing that it was Tony Jaa calling, Xiao Zhan said to Barto, "Excuse me, I need to take this call."

"Director Xia, please introduce the next steps of the action plan to Mr. Barto."

Xia Keke replied, "It's the Commander-in-Chief."

Xiao Zhan walked to the side, answered the phone, and asked, "Tony Ja, what's the situation on your end?"

Tony Jaa said on the phone, "Instructor, the border is under martial law. The Black Tiger Gang's shipment of 'pigs' to the border has been blocked inside the border, but the Black Tiger Gang has someone on the border to meet them. They are all hiding in a resort now."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Has Shen Jun met up with you yet?"

Tony Jaa: "Shen Jun just called me. They're about a ten-minute walk from where I am now."

Xiao Zhan: "Very good. Keep a close watch on these people. Make sure the Black Tiger Gang doesn't smuggle those seventeen girls out of the country. If necessary, take battlefield discipline measures."

Tony Jaa replied, "Understood, Instructor."

Xiao Zhan: "Tony Ja, I just finished communicating with your government's special envoy. Everything will proceed according to our action plan."

Tony Jaa exclaimed happily, "That's great!"

He secretly brought people out to help Xiao Zhan before, but to be honest, it was not legitimate. If his superiors found out, he might be discharged from the military or even face a military court.

Xiao Zhan hung up the phone and walked into the conference room, saying, "Good news, our people have discovered that the place where the other seventeen girls are being held also has a large number of Black Tiger Gang members."

The police chief had already made the arrangements, saying, "Mr. Xiao, as instructed by the minister, you will be in overall command. I am entrusting the SWAT team and the police rapid response team to your command."

Xiao Zhan: Thank you! That's great. I was just worried about manpower. After all, the Interpol branch is short-staffed, and we're facing thousands of ruthless gangsters.

Then Barto said, "Mr. Xiao, don't worry. If necessary, I will request military support. To minimize damage, please take command of the operation as soon as possible. The minister is waiting for our good news."

Xiao Zhan said confidently, "Mr. Barto, don't rush. There's still no news about Su Zixing and Yan Wenhu. If we take action rashly now, we might alert them. Let's wait and see."

Barto looked at the police chief and asked, "Retrieve all the surveillance footage from the roads. I refuse to believe we can't find Yan Wenhu."

The police chief said, "I've already made the arrangements, and we should have news soon."

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Hahaha, Mr. Barto, don't be in such a hurry."

As the saying goes, "Whom Heaven wishes to destroy, it first makes mad."

"Everything is under our control."

Seeing Xiao Zhan's confidence, Barto said, "Since Mr. Xiao is so confident, I am relieved."

"Beep beep beep!"

Suddenly my phone rang again.

When Xiao Zhan saw that it was Zhang Guoqiang calling, he immediately pressed the speakerphone button in front of everyone and asked, "Captain Zhang, what's the situation now?"

Over the phone, Zhang Guoqiang lowered his voice and said, "Commander-in-chief, that G-Wagon is currently parked in a grove of trees on the outskirts of Bangkok. Our drone reconnaissance has revealed many people in police uniforms and more than a dozen police cars in the grove."

The police chief turned green upon hearing this.

Isn't this a public slap in the face?

He claimed to be the highest-ranking officer in the Bangkok police force, and that his subordinates were colluding with the Black Tiger Gang to commit illegal and disorderly acts.

The key point is that he himself was completely unaware of it and had been kept in the dark the whole time.

This is a serious dereliction of duty.

Xiao Zhan glanced at the police chief and then said, "Captain Zhang, keep a close watch and don't make any rash moves to avoid alerting the enemy. We'll be on our way to the scene to meet you."
