The room fell into a deathly silence.

Only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

heavy.

Repressed.

Dong Jian suddenly gave a bitter smile.

That smile was uglier than a cry.

"Perhaps it's fate—"

"Your life is not meant to end."

"Perhaps it's because there's too much blood on the surface that a cause and effect has arisen."

"First, switch your counterfeit goods with the real ones—"

"It's been discovered."

"And then, you, who shouldn't have existed in this world—"

"Both mysterious and assertive—"

"He returned to his family alive."

"Wu Jun and the organization behind him have panicked."

"That's why we devised the plan to assassinate you."

"And that night at your homecoming dinner—"

"Wu Jun went there; he was only seeing you one last time."

"Just seeing you off."

Zeng Linglong remained silent for a long time.

He is processing this information.

An eighteen-year-old mystery.

Now, the truth is finally being revealed, bit by bit.

He asked a crucial question:

"Do you know why they switched me?"

"They put in so much effort—"

"What are the objectives and benefits?"

Dong Jian recalled for a long time.

Finally, he shook his head.

"Wu Jun is too cautious."

"I'm just an executor."

"He won't let me know any crucial information."

He thought about it.

He added:

"But from connecting with the hidden network—"

"They inadvertently revealed a title."

Zeng Linglong's eyes sharpened instantly!

"What is your title?"

"Call--"

Dong Jian spoke slowly and deliberately.

"military adviser."

military adviser!

Another strategist!

That name that appeared in Xiaoya's listening!

That high-ranking member of the Cosmic Organization!

"It seems like a switch operation—"

"All the plans were personally devised by this strategist."

Dong Jian looked at Zeng Linglong.

"But one thing I can confirm—"

"This organization definitely has a deep-seated hatred for your Zeng family!"

"They not only want to eliminate you—"

"We will also destroy your entire Zeng family!"

"Because Wu Jun himself has no deep-seated hatred with your Zeng family."

"I have no grudge against you."

"Then this is the only organization left."

Zeng Linglong's eyes became incredibly deep.

military adviser.

Cosmic Organization.

Switching packages.

Assassination.

Destroy the Zeng family.

All of this finally connected into a single line.

Dong Jian has finished speaking.

He lowered his head.

Silent for a long time.

Then, he looked up.

His eyes were filled with despair and pleading.

That's all I know.

"I know I might not survive."

"But I still have family!"

His voice became excited.

Wu Jun now thinks I'm dead.

"If he knew I was still alive—"

"He will absolutely not let my family off the hook!"

He suddenly stood up!

With a "thump"!

Kneel before Zeng Linglong!

His forehead slammed hard against the ground!

"I beg you—!"

His voice was hoarse and filled with despair.

"Can you please help my family?!"

"Let them escape or hide, it doesn't matter—"

"Even hiding deep in the mountains and forests is fine!"

"But we absolutely must not let them leave the Dragon Kingdom!"

He raised his head.

Tears streamed down her face.

"I know that Wu Jun has a lot of connections and resources overseas."

"He'll know immediately if we go abroad."

"Abroad, you'd only be killed!"

He knelt on the ground.

His body was trembling violently.

We await Zeng Linglong's reply.

Zeng Linglong remained silent.

It didn't move.

Just looking at him.

Looking at this person who once aided and abetted evil, but now kneels down and begs for his family.

Inside, silence fell once again.

Only Dong Jian's suppressed sobs could be heard.

And the ticking of the wall clock.

a long time.

Zeng Linglong finally spoke.

The voice was calm and cold.

"Your interrogators will be here soon—"

"That Sakura you mentioned—"

"And the hidden story you know about—"

"Their appearance, and their prior identities in China—"

"Tell them."

"And Wu Jun's armed force—"

"Provide me with details."

"Including your crimes."

Dong Jian nodded frantically.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"

Zeng Linglong stood up.

Looking down at him.

"Don't worry—"

"It all started with your detailed account of the switch—"

"As long as you don't get too much blood on you, I can guarantee you won't die."

"In the future, I will be able to reunite with your family."

Dong Jian's eyes lit up instantly!

That was like seeing a glimmer of hope in the midst of despair!

"at the same time--"

Zeng Linglong's voice continued to come through.

"I will have someone secretly protect your family."

"After all, they are innocent."

Dong Jian's tears welled up again!

He kowtowed desperately!

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Zeng Linglong's eyes suddenly turned icy cold.

As for Wu Jun—

His voice carried a chilling coldness.

"He no longer has the chance to harm your family."

"Because very soon—"

"He will come in and keep you company."

Done.

Zeng Linglong turned around.

I walked towards the door.

She didn't look at him again.

Zeng Linglong walked out of the interrogation room.

Li Weiguo was waiting for him at the door.

The two looked at each other.

Zeng Linglong nodded slightly.

Li Weiguo nodded as well.

it is more than words.

"Uncle Li."

Zeng Linglong spoke.

"Hurry up and have Dong Jian interrogated."

"After confirming intelligence on the hidden network and Wu's armed forces—"

"Send it to me."

Li Weiguo nodded.

"clear."

"in addition--"

Zeng Linglong paused.

"Arrange for someone to protect Dong Jian's family."

"They are innocent."

Li Weiguo looked at him.

A hint of tacit approval flashed in his eyes.

"it is good."

"I'll arrange it myself."

Zeng Linglong bid farewell to Li Weiguo.

Leave the security bureau.

The night remained deep.

He stood at the door.

Look up at the night sky.

There are no stars.

There was only endless darkness.

Eighteen years.

An eighteen-year-old mystery.

Finally, it has been revealed today.

But while revealing the truth, it also brought forth an even deeper abyss—

military adviser.

Cosmic Organization.

And there's also the overwhelming hatred for the Zeng family hidden behind it all.

Zeng Linglong took a deep breath.

boarding.

launch.

We drove toward the Zeng family's old residence.

The Zeng family's old residence.

study.

The lights were still on.

Grandpa Zeng Rong sat at his desk.

In front of me is a cup of tea that has gone cold.

He is waiting.

Waiting for my grandson to come back.

The door was pushed open.

Zeng Linglong walked in.

The grandfather and grandson exchanged a glance.

Zeng Rong remained silent.

He simply pointed to the chair opposite him.

Zeng Linglong sat down.

Everything Dong Jian said—

He told Zeng Rong everything without missing a single word.

Zeng Rong listened.

His weathered face was expressionless.

But his slightly trembling fingers betrayed his true feelings.

"military adviser……"

He muttered to himself.

"The Cosmic Organization..."

He raised his head.

Looking at Zeng Linglong.

There was endless complexity in his eyes.

"Little Dragon".

His voice was hoarse and deep.

"This grudge—"

"Report it."

Zeng Linglong nodded.

"I know."

The grandfather and grandson had a long, private conversation in the study.

The voice was very low.

The contents are unknown.

Only the occasional night breeze passing by the window witnessed this moment.

When Zeng Linglong left.

The sky was already beginning to lighten.

A new day is about to begin.

But a new storm is brewing.

Zeng Linglong walked out of the Zeng family's old house.

Standing at the door.

Looking at the sky gradually turning white in the east.

His eyes were deep and unfathomable.

military adviser.

Cosmic Organization.

Sakurako.

Subtext.

Switching packages.

Assassination.

Destroy the Zeng family.

All the clues point in the same direction—

Offshore.

That organization hidden in the shadows.

That mysterious figure known as the "strategist".

A cold smile slowly crept onto Zeng Linglong's lips.

That smile was as cold as a knife.

Filled with boundless killing intent.

"military adviser……"

He muttered to himself.

"Wait for me."

"soon--"

"We'll meet soon."

He got into the car.

launch.

Heading towards the base.

Behind me, the lights of the Zeng family's old house gradually disappeared into the morning mist.

A new day has begun.

But the storm that belongs to Zeng Linglong—

One after another, they are all starting quietly.
