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

"How could Yan Wenlong and his men have escaped from the mine?"

Xiao Zhan asked, feigning shock.

It's exactly as he predicted, it's incredible.

Xiao Zhan felt that Su Zixing was too intelligent to do something so incredibly foolish...

Driving into a mountain valley or forest and letting the police catch you like a turtle in a jar is no different from walking into a trap.

At this moment, Xia Keke's eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Xiao Zhan.

She felt that Xiao Zhan was simply a treasure boy, and there were always mysterious treasures about him that she could never fully discover.

She needs to seriously re-evaluate her relationship with Xiao Zhan…

At this point, the police chief said, "I just saw that Yan Wenhu had dug through all the mine shafts here. The tunnels inside are like a maze, and people who don't know the route can't get out at all. Yan Wenhu and Su Zixing escaped through the tunnels, and the exit is probably near the border. I have notified the border police to be on high alert. Once they are spotted, they should be intercepted immediately, and if necessary, they can be shot on the spot!"

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost."

"And what about these policemen in the woods?"

The police chief glanced at Barto and continued, "According to the branch chief who led the team here, after receiving my mission order, he immediately led his team to set up a checkpoint. Just then, a patrol car reported that Su Zixing was driving that G-Class, so he led his team to chase after him all the way here and followed him into the mine. However, there are too many intersections in the mine, and they lost track of him. So far, two police cars are still circling in the mine and can't get out. We've already sent people in to search for them. I never expected Yan Wenhu to be so cunning and prepare to escape in advance."

Xiao Zhan stared at the police chief with eyes as sharp as knives.

The police chief felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of panic settling in his heart, and cold sweat began to trickle down his forehead.

He thought to himself, "This young man exudes such a murderous aura."

Xiao Zhan turned his gaze back to Barto, his expression unchanged, and said, "Mr. Barto, since we can't find Yan Wenhu and Su Zixing, there's no use for me staying here. I'll head to the border now to meet up with the others and rescue the seventeen girls. As for how to deal with Su Zixing's telecom fraud park, I've already made it very clear that this is your country's business, but I will report the situation truthfully to the relevant departments."

The police chief wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a hint of obsequiousness, "Mr. Xiao, I'll send a special police team to assist you in your operation."

Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "Thank you, but no need. I have enough manpower now. You should take care of things here."

Barto glanced at the police chief, then pulled Xiao Zhan aside and asked, "Mr. Xiao, I sense something different in your words. Do you think that those police officers in the woods, ostensibly arresting Yan Wenhu, are actually providing him with disguised protection, allowing him to escape? This suggests they have deep-seated interests entangled with the gangs!"

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "Mr. Barto, this is an internal matter for you, so I won't get involved. Some things are best left unsaid."

"Director Xia, let's go."

After speaking, Xiao Zhan turned and got into the car. He didn't need to get involved in other people's internal conflicts...

As soon as Xiao Zhan got into the car, he called Zhang Guoqiang and said, "You two teams, immediately withdraw from the scene and meet up with my car. We're going to the border to rescue the hostages."

Zhang Guoqiang: "Understood."

Suddenly, Xia Keke asked, "Xiao Zhan, after this incident, are you really going to take over the Xiao family business?"

"You're really wasting your talent not working for the National Security Bureau."

Xiao Zhan grinned and said, "Hahaha, I have risked my life for the country for so many years, and I am still serving the motherland and people I love. Whatever job I do does is not in conflict with my dedication to the country. Just like now, when the country and the people need me, I will appear in time."

Xia Keke blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "I just think that someone as talented as you should be given important responsibilities and placed in a prominent position so that you can make the best use of your abilities."

Xiao Zhan remained silent, his gaze fixed on the pitch-black night outside the car window…

at the same time,

There is a small border town near the border between T country and M country.

The town is small, with a population of tens of thousands. These people make a living by working along the border, smuggling and trafficking various contraband items.

This is what they call "living off the land where you live" or "living off the water where you live"...

The town's police station is built next to the highway, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with endless, rolling mountains behind it.

Across from the police station is the only five-star hot spring resort hotel in the area, which has a series of luxuriously decorated independent villas.

at this time,

In the darkness of night, the sounds of a woman's terrified screams and suppressed sobs echoed from a villa.

"Crunch, crunch!"

Zhao Ruirui's face was swollen and red, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were vacant and lifeless as she stared at the ceiling. Two hot tears silently slid down her cheeks, and the sheets beside her pillow were already soaked...

I don't know how much time passed.

Ah Hai got up and left…

Zhao Ruirui remained completely still, without even blinking.

This led another member of the Black Tiger Gang, nicknamed "Yellow Hair," to believe that the woman in front of him had been killed by Ah Hai...

As Huang Mao was fastening his belt, Ah Hai asked, "Brother Hai, is this woman dead?"

Ahai glanced at Zhao Ruirui, then grinned and said, "That's just how women are."

"Damn it, that bitch didn't want to at first, saying she was Zhu Junjie's girlfriend. What the hell is Zhu Junjie? I only recognize Tiger."

"Everyone else is just dog shit in my eyes."

Huang Mao looked at Zhao Ruirui and saw that her full breasts were rising and falling slightly, which meant that she was still alive. He also saw that Zhao Ruirui's fair and graceful figure was really too tempting.

The blond-haired man licked his thick lips and walked over...

Ahai lit a cigarette and walked out of the room into the living room.

As one of Tiger Lord's four Heavenly Kings, he was ordered by Yan Wenhu to send seventeen women to the border and hand them over to the people who would meet them.

Unexpectedly, before he even reached the border, he received a call from an insider informing him that all border checkpoints were temporarily closed.

Ah Hai tried calling Tiger, but couldn't get through.

So, as agreed beforehand, he brought seventeen girls to the hot spring resort to rest and wait for Tiger Lord to arrive.

In fact, this hot spring resort is also owned by Su Zixing, but ostensibly it is managed by a Chinese man named Deng Hai...

Ahai picked up his phone from the coffee table and called Yan Wenhu again.

I tried calling several times but still couldn't get through.

Ah Hai put down the phone and asked one of his underlings who was standing guard at the door, "Have you checked out all sixteen girls?"

The younger brother said respectfully, "Brother Hai, you can rest assured that everything is arranged. This isn't the first time the brothers have done something like this. Xiaozi and Greyhound are taking a few men to keep an eye on things."

Ahai: "Go and have the hotel restaurant prepare some food and deliver it to these girls' rooms. They absolutely cannot starve or die of thirst."

The younger brother said, "Okay, I'll go arrange it right away."

He paused for a moment, then said with a lewd grin, "Brother Hai, the brothers all want to try something new. These sixteen girls are all incredibly beautiful, with great figures and elegant demeanor. I heard they're all college students."

Ah Hai rolled his eyes and cursed, "Damn it, do you all want to die? Tiger specifically told us not to touch any of these sixteen girls. They all already have sugar daddies. If Tiger and Shirley hadn't been delayed by going out, these girls would have already been taken away by their sugar daddies."

"Just bear with it, don't let lust get the better of you and ruin Grandpa Tiger's big plans, or you'll regret it."

"If you really can't resist, you can... hehe, it's better to have something to do than nothing, right?"

The younger brother immediately exclaimed happily, "Thank you, Brother Hai!"

Thus began the darkest period of Zhao Ruirui's life...
