The Dragon City Rises, Action Team Office.

Wang Xiao sat in his office, roaring at his subordinates, "What the hell is going on? Why didn't a single one of the twenty-plus people in the team escape?! What kind of capture could prevent Xiao An from even making a phone call?! What the hell is the intelligence department doing?! Call Lao Huang immediately and ask what's going on!"

A young man hesitated for a moment and replied, "We've already contacted Chairman Huang, but his phone is unreachable."

"Damn it! What the hell is going on? Is the intelligence department full of useless people?" Wang Xiao's mentality had completely collapsed. He had just learned that Wang An and the others were in trouble, and he knew very well that once someone was pinned down in Washington and taken to the Central Bureau for detention, it was completely over, with no possibility of rescue.

"Don't worry… I'll contact someone close to Lao Huang and see if we can find him," the young man quickly replied.

Hearing his subordinate's words, Wang Xiao became even more agitated.

"Ding-ling-ling!"

Just as Wang Xiao was at a loss, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Su Tianyu calling. He frowned and answered, "Hello?"

"Wang Xiao, is it safe on your end?" As soon as the call connected, Su Tianyu asked this question.

"Safe?" Wang Xiao frowned and asked, "What's wrong?!"

"Don't worry," Su Tianyu said in a low voice, "I'll show you something first. Keep an eye on your phone."

With that, Su Tianyu hung up the phone.

Wang Xiao knew that Su Tianyu wasn't the kind of person to joke around; he must have some intelligence to pass on. Thinking of this, Wang Xiao tried to calm himself down, sat back in his chair, and waited for news from Su Tianyu.

"Ding!"

A text message arrived. Wang Xiao opened it and saw several photos. The photos contained two application reports from the Central Bureau from five days ago. The content of the reports was related to Wang An's incident.

After reading them, Wang Xiao was completely stunned.

"Ding-ling-ling!" The phone rang again, and Wang Xiao quickly answered it.

"Have you seen them?" Su Tianyu asked.

"Where did you get these?" Wang Xiao hadn't lost his mind, but the anger in his heart was indescribable. He knew very well what these two reports meant, and he could connect them to many things.

"We have a mole in the upper echelons of the Central Bureau," Su Tianyu explained. "To save my brother, he had to reveal his identity and give me the information. Before retreating, he stole this report."

Hearing this, Wang Xiao's tone became a little urgent, "Since you could save your brother, why couldn't you save Wang An as well?"

"Calm down," Su Tianyu reminded Wang Xiao, "I received the news after the incident had already happened. Wang An was at the location where he was carrying out his mission, while my brother was on the periphery, so he barely escaped. Moreover, my brother's side was also terrible, Liu Tao is gone…"

Wang Xiao didn't speak. His chest rose and fell sharply, and he breathed heavily.

Su Tianyu was also silent for a moment, then said into the phone, "Wang Xiao, there must be a problem with the upper levels of your Huagong Association… Simply put, whoever formulated this assassination plan with you, that person is likely the one causing trouble. I suggest you make a call to the China region… Also, if you have any needs, you can contact me. Remember, you are in danger now… That's all."

After Su Tianyu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Wang Xiao sat in his chair, lost in thought. After being reminded by Su Tianyu's words, the scene of the meeting that day involuntarily emerged in his mind. Wu Boxin, contrary to his usual behavior, took the lead at the meeting, insisting on removing Yi Sheng, and Huo Dongsheng and Huang Peishan also expressed their approval. Then, they designated the action team to handle this matter, and specifically pointed out Su Tiannan's name… In addition, not long ago, Huo Dongsheng secretly met with a mysterious person behind the Wang family's back. After the incident, the Wang family didn't even know who this mysterious person was…

The above events made Wang Xiao break out in goosebumps, and he also understood the purpose of Su Tianyu's call. After thinking for a moment, he suppressed his anger and dialed Lao Wang's phone in prison.

…

Saint Paul City, Huo Dongsheng's Villa.

Huo Dongsheng and his three henchmen were waiting for news in the study, having also stayed up all night.

At this time, Huo Dongsheng stood with his hands behind his back in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the study, looking at the pond below, watching the koi carp constantly churning inside, lost in thought.

Huang Peishan and the others were sitting on the sofa on the side, discussing something in low voices.

"Ding-ling-ling!"

The phone rang, and Huo Dongsheng immediately answered it.

"Su Tiannan ran away." A man's voice came from the phone, "We have a ghost on our side… They probably already know about the internal problems of the Huagong Association."

"Okay, I understand…" Huo Dongsheng frowned and hung up the phone.

Huo Dongsheng walked back to the sofa and sat down, telling Huang Peishan, Dong Ke, and Liu Tao about the phone call. Everyone felt that things were not good, and couldn't help but fall into silence.

After a long silence, Huo Dongsheng stared at the three henchmen sitting opposite him and slowly said, "I think… Wang Xiao may have realized something. If Su Tiannan ran away, and the ghost on An's side got some information, he would deduce that the problem is on our side. Wang Xiao is a very tough person, and he might cause trouble for us."

Huang Peishan was smoking a cigarette. Hearing this, he slowly raised his head, looking at Huo Dongsheng with a gloomy face and eyes full of haze, "If that's the case… then let's not wait any longer. Why don't we strike first?"

Huo Dongsheng hesitated, sighing, "Is it too early? In my plan, I don't want to tear up the pretense so soon. Doing this has the feeling of forcing things…"

Huang Peishan persuaded, "Chairman, we have no choice! If we wait any longer, we won't be in control of the rhythm, and it will be even more troublesome."

Hearing this, Huo Dongsheng stood up again and walked back and forth in the study. He thought for a long time, finally made up his mind, and said to the three henchmen, "Since things have come to this, then let's not wait. Lao Huang goes to the military, Lao Dong goes to the Saint Paul City Administrative Office, and Lao Liu goes to collude with our own armed personnel."

…

Zha Island Prison.

Lao Wang sat on the bed in his cell, slowly putting down his phone. He had just received a call from Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao told Lao Wang the whole story of the assassination of Yi Sheng, the failure of the mission, and Wang An's arrest, including the causes and consequences. Wang Xiao also told him about Huo Dongsheng secretly meeting with a mysterious person behind the Wang family's back.

After learning about the changes outside, Lao Wang sat on the bed, frowning.

After thinking for a long time, he picked up his phone and said, "I have to contact the China region…!"

…

At the same time.

Yu Mingyuan crossed his legs and looked up at Su Tianyu, saying, "I still say the same thing, we can't let the higher-ups come out to balance things, or things will change again. We have to take advantage of the chaos to get results. We'll each mobilize our forces and prepare to go all-in on Saint Paul City!"
