essing close to the car window. Sitting next to Old Master He, every second felt excruciating.Though she wished time would slow down, so that she could have more time to think of a countermeasure to d..."Yes." The subordinate took the U disk and was about to go to the restroom.

But He Hanchuan spoke up, stopping him. "Wait."

As he yelled, he picked up the glass of water and poured it onto the file bag, which was only half full.

That subordinate stopped, looked at Minister Zou, and waited for his orders.

"Just ignore him, charge!" Minister Zou waved his hand casually and laughed at He Hanchuan: "It's burned like this, you think it can still be used"

After he finished speaking, he rushed to another subordinate and said, "Give me the walkie-talkie."

He would personally give the order to kill He Hankan, the only person who dared to threaten him!

"Why don't you open it and see what's inside" He Hanchuan sarcastically asked.

"What do you mean, it's not an account book" Director Zou retracted the smile from the corner of his mouth and pulled the walkie-talkie back from his lips.

He Hanchuan leaned against the sofa, a mocking look on his face.

Minister Zou frowned, and pulled several things out of the file bag—

"Don't even think about using me as a hostage to bargain. My subordinates are the ones who took things, and they only answer to me. Don't even try to bribe my subordinates like you did with Li’s lover.”

"I can guarantee that even if you search everyone, you may not be able to find that person."

Before Minister Zou could open his mouth to threaten, He Hanchuan had already blocked all possible avenues.

Minister Zou leaned in slightly, his eyes filled with malice. "Do you really think that I would follow your plan just because you say so"

"Of course not." He Hanchuan said, "Minister Zou can also choose to die with me. I die, you go to jail. But I think you wouldn't choose that."

Click!

Minister Zou snatched the pistol from his subordinate's hand, loaded it, and pointed it at He Hanchuan, his face contorted with rage. "Do you think you can guess what I'm thinking"

He pressed the black muzzle of his gun against He Hanchuan's head, gritting his teeth, "I could easily shoot you right now, and before Commander Zhou and his bunch of idiots find evidence, I could disappear with my family!"

The room was warm with the heat from the radiator, a stark contrast to the icy coldness of the gun in his hand.

He felt a bead of sweat trickle down his palm, but there was not the slightest change in his expression. "If you really chose to do this, you wouldn't be wasting my time with so much talk!"

Minister Zou stared at him, with not a flicker of reaction, only the barrel of his gun trembling slightly imperceptibly.

Though the reaction was slight, He Hanchuan, whose nerves were on high alert, still detected it. He let out a tiny breath and grabbed his handgun, pressing it firmly against his forehead.

"You can shoot now! Commander Zhou and his men don't have enough evidence to take you away, but with my life, they can easily take you and investigate slowly."

His voice was soft, yet it felt like a thousand-pound boulder, pressing heavily on Minister Zou's heart.

They should have started investigating him in the center a long time ago. The reason they haven't made a move is because the evidence they have isn't substantial enough. If he kills He Hanchuan now, it would be like handing them his own handle on a silver platter.

Slap!

Minister Zou threw the gun on the table with a sullen face. He asked his subordinate for a cigarette, sat down on the sofa, and exhaled a thick plume of smoke gloomily. "Sit."

He looked at the gun on the table, then sat down, his expression unchanged. "Minister Zou, are you serious about making a deal with me this time"

"You're so smart, do you think I would dare to play tricks on you" Minister Zou took another puff and flicked his cigarette onto the half-burned novel.

The cigarette butt flickered and quickly caught fire.

"If Director Zou had been serious about discussing a deal with me from the beginning, I wouldn't have had to be on guard like this." He Hanchuan said.

Minister Zou had initially planned to wait for He Hanchuan to arrive, then get the data and kill him. Unexpectedly, he was outmaneuvered.

Now the plan is completely ruined, I can only follow He Hanchuan's suggestion.

"If I were to give you the man, but you didn't give me the ledger, what would we do" Minister Zou picked up the still-cold water and splashed it onto the pile of ashes that was once the manuscript, his eyes filled with hatred.

He acted as if he hadn't heard. "You send someone to my designated location to retrieve the ledger. I'll meet with Xiang Wan here. Once they have the ledger, I'll receive Xiang Wan. They can return, and I can leave. Does Director Zou agree"

"You're quite clever."

"You're too kind."

Someone came over and cleaned up the ashes on the table.

He Hanchuan sat opposite Minister Zou, neither of them speaking. Perhaps because Minister Zou had specifically instructed him to do so, the red dot from the sniper rifle flickered intermittently over He Hanchuan's eyes, carrying a hint of warning.

About half an hour later.

A male voice crackled from the walkie-talkie on the table, "People are here."

A flicker of something almost imperceptible crossed Han Chuan's eyes, and his posture straightened slightly.

Then, "Please invite Miss Xiang up here," Director Zou said with a frown.

Those people hesitated for a moment, stammering for a long time without saying anything.

Minister Zou ate a bitter defeat here with Han Chuan. His chest was filled with anger, "Who are you I told you to bring Miss Xiang up here, do you not understand human language"

“No, not that. It's these people who have returned,” the man’s voice grew softer, “They didn’t inform Miss. Lao San said they held back a while to celebrate Old Master He, letting the three brothers bring Xiang Wan back first. Logically…”

Minister Zou felt a jolt in his heart and hurriedly glanced at He Hanchuan, then rebuked him, "Shut up! Immediately contact the people who took Miss Xiang away and order them to bring her to me within ten minutes!"

For safety's sake, he had someone drive the most ordinary black Volkswagen. It was to prevent any hijacking of the late evening ride and if anyone were to notice during an abduction, it would be easier to blend into traffic and escape.

But now it seems... Could it be that the car taking him towards his end wasn't arranged by him, but merely a misunderstanding among his subordinates

He Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, and in his mind flashed the photos of the black crowd on the news, and he guessed this possibility.

But he's not sure yet, and he can't just leave like this.

"But... but... but the third brother said he didn't see clearly those brothers' faces and didn't know who to contact." Before Minister Zou could get angry, the man hurriedly said: "However, the third brother remembers the license plate number. He just contacted the traffic police and they will be able to find out the owner's information soon."
