Three," Shangguan Qinglang’s eyes held a mysterious meaning.Shangguan Yunxiao smiled: "You know I'm not interested." Then he said with a smile: "Hurry and get your five-star chef to prepare some food...Chapter 222: The Twelfth Bullet!

When Wang Zheng spoke these words, all the agents around him immediately felt a chill down their spines as they clearly detected killing intent in his tone.

Irresistible killing intent!

The agents finally realized that Wang Zheng was about to take things seriously. They each raised their guns and pointed them at Wang Zheng's back, not daring to be careless.

Tao Tangtian also gripped the gun on his waist; the smile froze on his face as he said, "I've reached this point without fear of anyone. Just a deserter—what qualifications do you have to act wildly here"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng coldly smiled and pressed down half the trigger of his pistol.

And behind him, those agents were also ready to pull the trigger at any moment, in case of sudden changes!

Tao Tangtian had touched upon a sensitive spot for Wang Zheng. In his view, the first generation Dragon Scale unit was inviolable and most sacred. No matter who it was, if they violated what he considered most sacred—the Dragon Scale—they would pay the price.

But just at this critical moment, a sudden sound of shattering glass echoed!

The people turned to see where the noise had come from and saw a figure suddenly break through the glass window on the corridor! This place was on the tenth floor; no one knew how he got in—seemingly dropping down from above, making high-hardened tempered glass shatter all over the ground!

After landing, this figure somersaulted to Tao Tangtian's side at an incredible speed.

Tao Tangtian just wanted to react when he found a cold gun barrel pressing against his forehead! A somewhat lecherous guy was grinning hideously at him!

"Bro Zheng, you're not playing fair. Even killing someone should include me."

The lecherous man turned around and saw Wang Zheng; behind the small glasses flashed excited light.

“Little Li” Surprise flitted across Wang Zheng’s eyes as he let out a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect you to actually show up."

"I've always disliked the Eleventh Department," Lǐ Xiǎoxiǎo chuckled and pressed his gun harder against Tao Tangtian's forehead. He said with a smile, "Director Tao, your prestige has been quite high lately Even Brother Wang is not safe from you"

Tao Tangtian had faced many situations before; though pointed at by a gun now, he remained calm and coldly sneered, "Do you think I'll be scared just because you point a gun at me This place is the Eleventh Department, it's not somewhere you can come or go as you please. The crime of forcefully entering a state security area with weapons—such a charge, you won't bear."

"Really impressive." Lǐ Xiǎoxiǎo pressed Tao Tangtian’s forehead so hard that he left a red mark on it. "I really can come and go as I please. As for your trumped-up charges They don’t need to be borne by me."

"With so many guns pointed at you, do you think you can leave" Tao Tangtian glared back sternly.

"Department Eleven, is it really that impressive"

A loud voice suddenly came from the elevator entrance. A tall man in a black jacket with a square face was walking over, and behind him were two rows of soldiers in camouflage uniforms, each holding steel rifles!

"He Yian!" Tao Tangtian's eyes immediately widened.

He never would have imagined that casually arresting Wang Zheng for some reason would actually draw out He Yian, the super third-generation red descendant within State Security!

Moreover, Tao Tangtian could never have anticipated that He Yian would lead troops straight into Department Eleven. The soldiers he brought along were none other than the Special Operations Team within State Security, all of them special forces veterans! Compared to his own agents, his team was no match for this elite unit.

However, the Special Operations Team had always been directly managed by the Minister of State Security, and under normal circumstances, no one had the authority to mobilize them. So how did He Yian manage to bring this team here

Tao Tangtian's brows furrowed deeply!

"Tao Tangtian, it’s been just a few days since we last met and you’ve already become so presumptuous"

He Yian walked over casually and said, "Take those guns away!"

Hearing this, the dozens of soldiers He Yian brought with him raised their rifles, surrounding the agents holding pistols!

Rain燕 watched in disbelief; Wang Zheng's words had actually come true.

Within half an hour, someone really did point a gun at Department Eleven chief Tao Tangtian’s head! And it wasn't even Wang Zheng who was doing so!

The name He Yian was not only familiar but also legendary to everyone within State Security.

However, they never would have imagined why this famous agent from Department Eleven would now be leading the Special Operations Team against their own agents and taking away their guns

In the face of such a disadvantageous situation, these agents could no longer hold out. One by one, they lowered their heads and put down their guns with a look of dejection in their eyes.

State Security's Department Eleven was truly going to lose all its reputation today.

What kind of background does this Wang Zheng have that he could get the renowned He Yian here to back him up

"For today's incident, all participants will be confined for three days!" Although He Yan was staring at these armed agents, his words were directly aimed at Tao Tangtian: "Using public office for personal gain and treating human lives as grass, how many wrongful cases have piled up in the National Security Bureau's Eleventh Division over the years"

"Regarding today’s incident, I must investigate until satisfied. Those who use their national status to seek private revenge will definitely be expelled from this organization!" He Yan swept his eagle-like gaze across each of these agents, making everyone feel a chill.

Turning around, He Yan looked at Tao Tangtian and continued: "Tao Tangtian, Director Tao, you need to take primary responsibility for this matter."

"He Yan, this is the Eleventh Division, not your command center. What do you mean by bringing troops to storm my office building" Tao Tangtian said coldly.

"And what does it mean that I'm confining your subordinates Who gave you such authority"

"What do you think it means Who do you think gave me the authority" He Yan walked over to Wang Zheng and smiled slightly, saying: "You tied up my brother, yet you ask what this means"

"Xiao Li Zi, put down your gun," He Yan said.

Hearing that, Xiao Lixiao reluctantly lowered his gun and stepped aside.

"Tao Tangtian, do you know what mistake you've made" He Yan wiped the smile off his face and said coldly.

"I don't know what mistake I've made, but I know what mistakes you've made!" Tao Tangtian's gaze was equally icy. Even facing the Special Operations Team, he had no fear whatsoever: "This is the Eleventh Division; you brought troops in and detained our agents here. I will report this to higher-ups!"

"Is that so Then go ahead and do it," He Yan sneered twice before saying, "Tao Tangtian, Tao Director, you truly don’t shed tears until the coffin is seen! Have you not noticed the situation by now"

He Yan pointed at a row of armed special forces soldiers behind him: "Why do you think I can mobilize the Special Operations Team Haven't you considered the reason why"

Tao Tangtian’s throat moved up and down several times, but he still did not speak. He had thought of an outcome, but at the moment it surfaced, he immediately rejected it.

In Tao Tangtian's view, if that idea were true, it would be a massive blow to himself!

He Yan smiled slightly: "You guessed correctly."

"The position of Vice Minister in charge at the National Security Department has been vacant for half a year. Today’s Standing Committee announced that I will temporarily take over as Deputy Minister."

Tao Tangtian was stunned: "What meeting How come I don't know"

"Half an hour ago.

He Yan looked at Tao Tangtian with a playful expression, wanting to see the scene of his once formidable rival being utterly defeated.

Tao Tangtian fell silent for a few seconds as he tried to process this devastating piece of news. Then he said again: "Even so, you have no authority to mobilize the Special Operations Team! I will report this to the minister!"

He Yan looked at Tao Tangtian with pity and continued: "I forgot to mention one thing; Minister and two other Deputy Ministers are on a long-term leave abroad for health reasons, during which time I am in full charge of the State Security Department."

Hearing this made Tao Tangtian feel as though his world was spinning.

Had He Yan been so successful in his rise to power

The higher echelons of the State Security Department were mostly elderly, and the government had long wanted to inject fresh blood into such an important department. The post of Deputy Minister had been vacant for a long time, which Tao Tangtian had been eyeing with envy. Of course, he could not compete openly with He Yan, as his family background was nothing compared to that famous marshal who shook all of China.

But how did He Yan succeed so easily and quickly

Tao Tangtian would never have thought that He Yan's successful rise to power had a lot to do with the young man standing next to him, wearing small glasses and looking lecherous.

If not for General Li Yeping calling in from Northwest China at the last moment, the end result might not be so smooth for He Yan.

"I don’t care about that. He Yan, you have your people above you, but I do too." Tao Tangtian’s face darkened as he said: "Colluding with a traitorous deserter and leading troops to storm the Eleventh Bureau, what do you think would happen if these labels are placed on you"

He Yan didn’t respond. His eyes turned bloodshot because he clearly heard those words about 'a traitorous deserter.'

At this moment, Wang Zheng suddenly acted!

Like a leopard, his body darted forward, and with one swift kick to Tao Tangtian’s abdomen, the latter was sent flying.

Tao Tangtian was also an intelligence officer. When Wang Zheng attacked, he immediately realized something terrible was happening. Instinctively, he crossed his arms in front of him for protection. But how could a state security official resist the blow from Dragon Scale Squad Leader when enraged

A massive force hit Tao Tangtian, and he clearly heard the sound of his arm breaking.

After being kicked by Wang Zheng, this director of the Eleventh Bureau crashed through the door with eleven bullet holes and slammed into a row of filing cabinets!

Wang Zheng landed on the ground and turned around to draw his gun. Squinting his eyes, he fired at Tao Tangtian who was lying amidst a pile of documents, releasing the last round from his magazine.

Note: Thanks for Brother Sitting in Embrace's support! said angrily: "Are you really taking advantage of the situation to make a move on me"The swift swallow had already wrapped her hands around Wang Zheng's back."We are just mutually taking liberties,"...
