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

In the darkness of night,

"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah~".

A convoy of various types of cars is speeding along a highway outside Bangkok…

The lead police cars, their lights flashing, were filled with menacing SWAT officers. The guns they gripped gleamed with a chilling aura of death in the night...

To prove he had no connection with the Black Tiger Gang's protectors, the Bangkok police chief resolved to bring these corrupt police officers who had violated their oaths to justice in front of officials like Bato, thus clearing his name.

at this time,

In the back seat of an SUV at the back of the convoy.

Xia Keke said thoughtfully, "Xiao Zhan, I was really worried for you just now. What you said was so powerful. I was really afraid that Barto and the others would lose face and go berserk on the spot. Especially that police chief, his face turned green. It was so satisfying to see. His own subordinates were deeply involved with the gang, and he, the big boss of the police force, was completely unaware."

"In China, this would be a serious dereliction of duty and would require administrative responsibility, but here in Thailand, nothing happened, and they are still directing this special operation."

"To be honest, my heart was pounding in my chest at the time. Even Ambassador Ouyang was giving Director Zhang a meaningful look, afraid of straining relations between the two countries."

"I still don't understand why you made me tell Barto on the spot that there was only one copy of the material, and there were no extra copies. What were you trying to convey to Barto?"

"Is this a gesture of goodwill towards Barto?"

"You need to maintain control of the situation while achieving a balanced and effective communication."

Xiao Zhan smiled calmly, then said with great certainty, "What I said is all true, and I was only saying it for their own good. I'm not trying to curry favor with Barto, but rather sending a positive signal to Barto, which means that we only care about the outcome of this operation. We don't want to get involved in their internal conflicts, and we're not willing to get involved in them. As for the relevant evidence, let them handle it as they see fit."

Xia Keke raised an eyebrow and said, "Personally, I think that keeping this kind of evidence in our hands can at least serve as a check and balance."

Xiao Zhan shook his head, then looked out the dark night and said, "Then you're wrong. Who are you trying to control? It's T country, that's their internal matter, we shouldn't interfere. I'm doing this to let Barto and the others know that we only want to destroy the Black Tiger Gang and rescue the hostages. We won't ask about their internal affairs or hold them accountable. They can handle it themselves."

"Director Xia, you should know that in the arena of power, the most ruthless knife is often the one that draws no blood, and the deepest deals are never written down. Instead, they leave room for each other and involve an exchange of equal value. There's a saying that politics is the art of compromise. In simple terms, it means leaving a way out for others so that you can meet again in the future."

Xia Keke gave him a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Zhan, when you first came back from the army, I felt that you were a bit out of touch with the real world, or that you couldn't keep up with the times. Now it seems that I was wrong. My understanding of society or politics is not as thorough as yours."

"Attention everyone, turn off sirens and flashing lights, turn off headlights, and prepare for battle."

Suddenly, the voice of the police chief came through the walkie-talkie.

Xiao Zhan opened his phone and saw the location sent by Zhang Guoqiang; he was less than five kilometers from his destination.

Xia Keke frowned and said, "With such a large-scale mobilization, Yan Wenhu and Su Zixing probably already got wind of it and ran away."

"If I were in command, I would organize an elite assault force to sneak up and catch Yan Wenhu and his men off guard, and then the main force would advance to wipe them out!"

Xiao Zhan chuckled and said, "You're only realizing it now?"

"I've said it before, they should resolve their internal conflicts themselves, as long as they don't secretly hinder us."

Xia Keke raised an eyebrow and said, "Why do I feel like all of this is a trap set up by that Su Zixing?"

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Hahaha, if nothing unexpected has happened, something unexpected has occurred."

Xia Keke rolled her eyes and said, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Zhan sneered, "If Su Zixing were so easy to catch, she couldn't possibly manage such a massive KK Telecom fraud operation, or even control the Black Tiger Gang. Look at how cautious and obsequious Yan Wenhu was when he saw Su Zixing; that fear was ingrained in his very bones. You can imagine how terrifying Su Zixing is. She's definitely not what we saw through the drone. No wonder Zhu Junjie spoke of Su Zixing with such awe!"

Xia Keke: "So you have no hope of catching Su Zixing?"

Xiao Zhan curled his lip and said, "I never thought I could catch Su Zixing. I'm afraid I couldn't even catch Yan Wenhu."

"If you don't believe me, we'll wait and see."

Xiao Zhan took out his phone and called Zhang Guoqiang, asking, "What's the situation now?"

Zhang Guoqiang said on the other end of the phone, "We didn't dare get too close on the perimeter for fear of being discovered by the other side. We also flew the drone very high to avoid being spotted by people in the woods. After all, there are many police officers at the scene, and some of them are definitely familiar with drones or even experts."

"Commander-in-Chief, when will you arrive?"

Xiao Zhan: "We've reached the outer perimeter."

"Squeak, squeak!"

Suddenly, the sound of brakes rang out.

Immediately, the order from the person in charge came through the walkie-talkie: "Everyone, immediately surround the woods. SWAT teams rush in first, rapid response units follow, and snipers get into position quickly."

"clear!"

"Bang bang bang!"

In the darkness, the sound of a car door being pushed open rang out, followed by a large number of fully armed police officers rushing out of the vehicle and immediately splitting into several combat teams to provide cover for each other as they charged into the woods.

Several snipers quickly ran to the outer hillside to set up sniper positions to provide fire support for the frontline combat personnel.

After getting out of the car, Xiao Zhan stood beside it and slowly lit a cigarette. His deep gaze looked towards the woods, and then he said to Xia Keke, "Do you believe it? They can't catch a single hair. The police officers here are just carrying out an arrest operation."

Xia Keke frowned, puzzled, and asked, "What kind of capture mission are they carrying out?"

Xiao Zhan grinned and said, "Back then, it was a mission to capture Yan Wenhu, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang!"

Xia Keke was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to understand something and said, "You mean, those police officers at the scene were arresting Yan Wenhu and Su Zixing?"

"But in reality, it was a cover for their escape."

Xiao Zhan nodded and exhaled a puff of smoke.

Xia Keke still asked, puzzled, "How did Yan Wenhu and Su Zixing escape in the woods? Zhang Guoqiang and an Interpol task force were keeping watch outside the woods the whole time!"

"Besides, there are drones watching from the sky."

Xiao Zhan smiled, revealing a profound expression, and said, "Either go to heaven or go underground; driving in between is definitely not an option."

Xia Keke: "Going to heaven is impossible. We have drones watching all the time. We'll detect any movement."

"Go underground? You mean there are tunnels in the woods?"

Xiao Zhan said confidently, "I just checked the geography here. This used to be an iron ore mining area, with many interconnected mine tunnels. This is a shortcut to escape."

"Furthermore, I also found that two years ago, Yan Wenhu spent a huge sum of money to buy these abandoned mines, saying that he would upgrade the mines and turn them into new environmentally friendly green business formats and new cultural tourism projects."

Xia Keke asked with bright eyes, "You mean Yan Wenhu dug a tunnel through the iron ore mine to create an escape route?"

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "I hope my guess is correct."

At that moment, Barto and the police chief, along with several other people, quickly approached. The police chief's face was deathly pale and extremely grim.

Then Barto said to Xiao Zhan, "Mr. Xiao, something terrible has happened! Yan Wenhu and Su Zixing have escaped."

Xiao Zhan asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Barto, what happened?"

Barto: "The SWAT team leader just reported that Yan Wenhu and Su Zixing escaped from the mine by car."
