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

As night fell,

Xiao Zhan's hand holding the phone was trembling slightly. He knew that the sudden halt to the operation was definitely orchestrated by the mysterious big shot behind Su Zixing...

This also demonstrates that the operation hit them where it hurts.

Upon hearing Xiao Zhan's words on the other end of the phone, Zhang Xiangdong was immediately alarmed and quickly said, "Xiao Zhan, please don't do anything rash. The consequences of doing so will be very serious."

"You were once an excellent soldier, and soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders. Don't disobey orders from your superiors. I was originally the commander-in-chief for this operation, but considering the actual situation, I suggested and recommended that you be the commander-in-chief. What you're doing is putting me in a difficult position. Xiao Zhan, calm down and think it over carefully."

Zhang Xiangdong knew that he couldn't force someone like Xiao Zhan; he had to appeal to his emotions, reason with him, and present the facts.

As expected, Xiao Zhan patiently listened and then said, "Director Zhang, my original plan was to capture Su Zixing, the mastermind behind the Black Tiger Gang, and take the opportunity to eliminate his telecom fraud operation and rescue our compatriots inside. Otherwise, many more 'pigs' from China will continue to be lured here. As the saying goes, strike the snake at its vital point; the worst thing you can do is strike it but not kill it. Once the source is eliminated and there is no demand, there will be no harm. These compatriots who have been lured here are truly pitiful. Only those who are deeply trapped in that situation know how desperate it is."

"They were the darlings of their families, but they were tricked into going to hell on earth. They were either forced to commit telemarketing fraud against their own compatriots, or their organs were sold and their kidneys were cut off. The fate of those beautiful women was especially tragic."

In short, if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze.

"Moreover, I am certain that even if Yan Wenhu dies, Su Zixing will continue to cooperate with Yan Wenlong. I also know that there is a big fish behind Yan Wenlong, and I must catch this big fish and bring him to justice."

After listening, Zhang Xiangdong patiently advised, "Xiao Zhan, don't be confused. I understand what you're saying, and I understand how you feel right now, but please think carefully about why the higher-ups suddenly called off the operation."

Xiao Zhan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Director Zhang, do you mean the higher-ups have a bigger plan?"

Zhang Xiangdong spoke frankly: "I don't know if there are any bigger plans at the moment, but I can be sure that the big shots above will definitely not sit idly by."

"We will not let these criminals go unpunished."

"Xiao Zhan, you should take your men to the airport immediately and bring these girls back to the country safely. This operation has been a complete success. I will take care of the cleanup work. I will personally take Qin Huanhuan and Hua Ying to the airport to meet up with you."

Xiao Zhan said somewhat helplessly, "Alright then, but I reserve my personal opinion."

Zhang Xiangdong: "Okay, I will convey your opinion to the higher-ups. It's settled then. Xiao Zhan, you are a good comrade who hates evil, but you are no longer in the army, so you should think twice before you act in the future."

Xiao Zhan: "Thank you for the reminder, Director Zhang."

Xiao Zhan knew, of course, that Zhang Xiangdong meant well for him; he could tell who was good and who was bad.

Xiao Zhan hung up the phone and saw Shen Jun and others walking over with sixteen girls.

The girls were all pale-faced, their eyes darting around anxiously like frightened deer.

But in a way, they were also lucky, because each of them had been pre-booked by a sugar daddy, so they were not harmed, only frightened.

At this moment, Xia Keke helped Zhao Ruirui walk over.

The moment Zhao Ruirui saw Xiao Zhan, her previously empty and lifeless eyes suddenly turned sinister and terrifying, and she stared at Xiao Zhan with intense hatred.

Suddenly, Zhao Ruirui broke free from Xia Keke's hand and rushed over to hug Xiao Zhan tightly, screaming hysterically, "Xiao Zhan, you're the one who ruined me like this! You're deliberately retaliating against me!"

"Where did you take Zhu Junjie?"

"I'm going to kill you. You've ruined me."

Zhao Ruirui's inexplicable and bizarre actions left Xiao Zhan completely bewildered.

However, Xiao Zhan considered that Zhao Ruirui had just been assaulted by multiple people, and her mental state was severely stimulated, so it was normal for her to be emotionally unstable.

Then he said in a deep voice, "Zhao Ruirui, are you sure you're not mistaken? I was the one who brought people to rescue you. The one who really harmed you is Zhu Junjie. Your boyfriend sold you out, and you're even helping him count the money."

"You're blaming me? Blaming me for not saving you? I'll let it go since you're still freaked out and not thinking straight."

At this moment, Xia Keke stepped forward and hugged Zhao Ruirui, separating her from Xiao Zhan. She said in a deep voice, "Zhao Ruirui, you may not know, but Zhu Junjie and the person who assaulted you are actually in cahoots. You were one of the girls Zhu Junjie wanted to sell, but you have been deceived by his sweet words all along."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruirui froze on the spot, taking several seconds to process it. She saw the other girls staring at her, their eyes filled with resentment. Looking at them, her clothes were intact, and they seemed to be in better spirits than she was. It seemed she was the only one who had been violated by those beasts. Overwhelmed with grief, two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks, and she squatted on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably…

Xiao Zhan instructed, "Everyone get in the car immediately. We need to get to Bangkok Airport within two hours and then take a domestic flight back home. The relevant departments have already made arrangements."

Upon hearing that they could return to their homeland, the girls cheered joyfully, "Long live the motherland! Long live Young Master Xiao!"

They all knew that without Xiao Zhan and his team's cross-border operation, a tragic end awaited them, a fate worse than death.

Shen Jun began arranging for more than a dozen girls to get on the bus. Fortunately, Xiao Zhan had made preparations in advance and rented a bus through the embassy.

Everyone boarded the bus quickly.

Xia Keke helped Zhao Ruirui into the car.

Shen Jun's special operations team accompanied the vehicle to provide security.

Xiao Zhan commanded in a deep voice, "Depart."

The bus driver immediately started the car and drove out of the hot spring resort hotel, quickly disappearing into the darkness of the night…

Tony Jaa stepped forward and hugged Xiao Zhan, saying, "Goodbye, Instructor! I really hate to see you go."

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "There will be a day when we meet again in the future."

Xiao Zhan shook hands with each of the other members of Tony Jaa's team to express his gratitude and welcomed them to visit him in China if they had the chance, promising to drink to their hearts' content.

Xiao Zhan gave Tony Jaa one last hug and quietly slipped him a bank card.

Then he and Xia Keke got into the car and chased after the bus. He had to escort the group safely to the airport.

Just before getting into the car, Xiao Zhan suddenly stopped and looked up at the police station across the street.

He caught a glimpse of a bright spot out of the corner of his eye, which, if he wasn't mistaken, was probably the flash from his phone's camera.

Xiao Zhan's eyes flashed with two cold glints, then a mocking smile appeared on his lips before he got into the car.

Xiao Zhan's SUV disappeared into the night.

A white Mercedes-Benz G-Class was parked in an alley next to the police station across the street.

Inside the G-Class,

Looking at the photo of Xiao Zhan that Su Zixing had just secretly taken, she muttered to herself, "Xiao Zhan, cutting off my source of income is like killing my parents. I swear I will never let you live under the same sky, and I will fight you to the death."

Two hours later,

The group arrived safely at Bangkok Airport.

A silver-white passenger plane had been waiting for a long time.

Zhang Xiangdong led a group to escort Qin Huanhuan and Hua Ying to meet up with Xiao Zhan, while Ambassador Ouyang and embassy staff personally communicated and coordinated with Bangkok police and airport staff.

Soon,

Xiao Zhan and his entourage boarded the plane smoothly.

In the darkness of night,

The passenger plane roared and accelerated down the runway before leaping into the star-studded night sky, soaring towards its motherland...
