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

"Didn't I tell you how your brother died?"

"He was shot in the head by Xiao Zhan and died. I was right next to him at the time. Thomas also had his head smashed by Xiao Zhan."

"What, you don't believe what I'm saying?"

Sherry lies so easily...

But there's some truth to her claim that Xiao Zhan smashed her head.

It is common knowledge that Xiao Zhan's identity as a special forces sniper is no secret.

A fierce glint flashed in Yan Wenlong's sinister eyes, but he did not expose Shirley's lie in public.

Instead, he said viciously, "Xiao Zhan, I will never forgive you, you killed my brothers, so I will kill the people closest to you."

"Shirley, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I received a call from Thailand saying that my brother was burned to death in a cave and there's no trace of his remains."

There's a saying that goes, "One lie requires countless lies to cover it up."

Shirley blinked her beautiful eyes a few times and said, "Oh, the reason I didn't tell you the details was because I was afraid you would be sad. At that time, we were engaged in a fierce battle. Because we fell into Xiao Zhan's ambush, and Xiao Zhan had the support of the T country's special forces and Interpol, the battle was one-sided. So we fought and retreated. Yan Wenhu said he would lead us through a secret passage. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhan already knew about this secret passage in advance and had planted a lot of explosives in the cave."

Yan Wenlong's anger intensified as he listened to Shirley continuing to fabricate lies, and he even felt an urge to kill her.

But he suppressed his anger and deliberately asked, "How did Xiao Zhan know about the secret passage?"

Shirley said viciously, "It was Zhu Junjie who told Xiao Zhan that this spineless coward betrayed your brother after Xiao Zhan captured us, which led to the failure of our plan and the heavy casualties, with only me escaping."

The fact that Zhu Junjie was escorted back to Beijing by the police has already made headlines in newspapers, and it's no secret that a quick online search reveals this.

Shirley's act of shifting all the blame onto Zhu Junjie was also purposeful; she wanted to use Yan Wenlong to kill Zhu Junjie...

The reason Shirley lied to Yan Wenlong was actually quite simple: she wanted Yan Wenlong and Xiao Zhan to become mortal enemies, the kind with a blood feud.

Shirley knew that Yan Wenlong hadn't yet used the Dragon Gang's resources. After sleeping with Yan Wenlong, she tentatively asked him about the Dragon Gang...

But Yan Wenlong only touched on the matter lightly, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and didn't talk to her about the Dragon Gang at all.

Yan Wenlong knew that the person behind the Dragon Gang was his last line of defense, and if Shirley found out about this, he would be close to death.

Someone like Sherry would do anything to complete a mission. What kind of person is a woman who sleeps with any man just to complete a mission?

Shirley continued her fabrication: "Before I left, to prevent Xiao Zhan and the others from finding evidence and to avoid the body being desecrated, I burned all the vehicles at the scene. This way, I could destroy the evidence and prevent the T country police from finding any relevant evidence, since the Black Tiger Gang still needs to survive in T country..."

Listening to Shirley's words, it seemed reasonable and logical.

suddenly,

"Oh no, we're being followed."

"Ishida Mako, who had been silent all along, said."

She was holding a tablet computer, which showed a drone flying in the night sky.

In the live footage captured by the drone, about 200 to 300 meters behind the speeding bread truck, several cars were speeding by, but the drone's view was locked on a black SUV, which was driving at a steady, unhurried speed.

Yan Wenlong and Shirley exchanged a glance, then looked at the screen at the same time, where Ishida Mako was zooming in on the image.

Yan Wenlong frowned and asked, "Miss Zhenzi, how did you know this car was following us?"

"And not other vehicles?"

Mako Ishida zoomed in on the screen and said, "Look, the three strong men in this car are all very energetic, with shining eyes. They are obviously not ordinary people. It's already past 2 a.m. Most people, except for the driver, would be drowsy at this time, and even if they don't sleep, they would look listless."

"In addition, our bread truck was only driving at about 80 miles per hour. You can see that other vehicles either caught up with our truck from behind or had already overtaken us and driven far away."

"Only this car followed us at a distance that was neither too close nor too far."

Sherry: "Mako's analysis is correct. This car is indeed very suspicious. It must have been following us since the Earl came out."

Yan Wenlong said to Black Bear, "Black Bear, pull over."

Black Bear was absolutely obedient to Yan Wenlong's words.

He replied, "Yes, boss."

"squeak."

The black bear slammed on the brakes and brought the bread truck to a stop on the side of the road.

"Splash!"

Black Bear reached under the passenger seat and pulled out a five-shot rifle. His eyes flashed with a fierce light as he said menacingly, "Boss, if that car stops in a bit, I'll fucking strike first and kill the bastard. Damn it, do you think I'm a pushover just because I don't show my power?"

At that moment, Mako Ishida looked at the screen and said, "Huh, the SUV has exited from the expressway exit."

"What the heck, what do they mean by this?"

"They're not following us anymore?"

"Or did they know we'd discovered they were following them?"

"Phew~~".

Shirley breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Regardless of whether they are from the National Security Bureau or not, now is not the best time for close combat. Our reinforcements are still on their way."

Mako Ishida raised her delicate eyebrows and said, "Miss Sherry is right. We should not fight to the death unless absolutely necessary. Our mission this time is to find a way to obtain the core technology of the 'Fuxi' quantum communication chip. Everything else is secondary."

Yan Wenlong said to the black bear, "Drive back to the safe house."

The black bear tossed the five-shot burst into the passenger seat, then started the van and drove off...

at the same time,

Wanyan Ruoxi drove back to Xiaotangshan Hot Spring Resort.

She had just parked her car when she saw her younger sister standing at the door.

She was immediately startled.

After receiving a call from Mako Ishida, she secretly went to see Mako without telling her sister.

She was afraid her sister would worry or not let her go.

She was also curious about why Mako Ishida wanted to see her.

Wanyan Ruoxi quickly went over and asked, "Ruolan, what are you doing here? What time is it? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

With tears in her eyes, Wanyan Ruolan said, "The master told me everything. Sister, you're so confused. Didn't I tell you? Let bygones be bygones. Let's start over. We sisters have Xilan Group, that's enough. I just want to live a peaceful, healthy, and happy life with my sister."

Wanyan Ruoxi hugged her sister and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to be so complicated. Even Mr. Deng knows. I'm very curious, how did Mr. Deng know that I met with Ishida Mako, Yan Wenlong, and that agent named Shirley at the Earl's Palace?"

Wanyan Ruolan wiped away her tears and said, "How would I know? The master is waiting for you at the teahouse."

"Go ask him yourself."

Wanyan Ruoxi was startled and asked, "Mr. Deng, were you waiting for me? Was it because of tonight's matter?"

Wanyan Ruolan shook her head and said truthfully, "I don't know!"

Wanyan Ruoxi followed her sister to the teahouse and saw Deng Zhi sitting at the tea table, leisurely drinking tea.

So he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Deng, you were looking for me?"

To be honest, Wanyan Ruoxi was very wary of Deng Zhi.

Not only did Deng Zhi save her life when she was most helpless, but he also gave her and her sister a place to stay.

He also personally intervened to protect the assets of the Xilan Group from being swallowed up by other families...

Deng Zhi raised his head, his face expressionless but his tone icy, and said, "Are you ignoring what I said?"
