Chapter 111

In the alley of a street on the southern edge of the small town, a black SUV was parked.

Su Tiannan checked the interior of the car, reached out and removed the vehicle's data recorder, and then he and Ruan Zheng Tan got out of the car and quickly left.

During the operation, Su Tiannan wore a mask and gloves. The vehicle itself had been stolen, so there was no need to destroy it; he could just leave.

The two quickly left the alley, crossed two blocks, and hid in a forest extending outside the town. There was a small river here, and a stone bridge on the north side.

Ruan Zheng Tan was wearing a back brace, which limited his movements, and he had no chance to resist. He sat on the ground quietly, and Su Tiannan didn't communicate with him.

After about ten minutes, the phone rang.

Su Tiannan pressed the answer button: "Hello?"

"The stuff is secured. We didn't touch the woman. Leaving them alive is worse for them and serves as a warning!" The contact on the phone asked, "Where's Ruan Zheng Tan? Is he dead? If he can move around, we can repatriate him!"

Su Tiannan was silent for a moment and replied, "He's dead! I threw away the body."

"Okay, then come back!" The other party paused and said, "We'll arrange for your extraction!"

"No need, I don't like being with everyone. I'll go alone. I'll contact you later!" Su Tiannan said quickly and hung up the phone.

Inside the villa, the middle-aged man in charge frowned and said, "This guy has a lot of ideas and is not easy to control!"

"What's wrong with him?" another person asked.

"He said Ruan Zheng Tan is dead and he doesn't want to come back." The middle-aged man turned to look at him. "That's a bit out of line!"

"Lao Wang said that he cares a lot about his family. He probably doesn't want to have too much contact with too many people, which would bring trouble to his family." The other person paused. "I'll schedule a meeting with him later! Su Tiannan is still very valuable, and we have reason to invest more energy in him!"

"Do as you see fit!" The middle-aged man replied and immediately called out, "Let's go!"

...

In the woods.

Ruan Zheng Tan sat on the ground, feeling relieved, because he was very satisfied with Su Tiannan's reply to his superiors, and he saw a chance to escape.

"Name your price," Ruan Zheng Tan said.

Su Tiannan looked at him, bent down, and squatted: "Who told you I was going to name a price?"

Ruan Zheng Tan was stunned.

Su Tiannan reached out and pulled off his belt, and then unbuckled Ruan Zheng Tan's belt.

This move completely confused Ruan Zheng Tan. He looked at Su Tiannan in disbelief and asked, "What are you doing?!"

"Do you think you're very smart?!" Su Tiannan lowered his head and tied the two belt buckles together with a slipknot.

"You don't have to do this!!" Ruan Zheng Tan said urgently: "Who am I? I'm the deputy director of the Military Intelligence Agency. Do you know how much money I brought out?! There are no outsiders here, just you and me! You get the credit, you get the money, isn't that good? Why are you messing with me? What's the point?"

Su Tiannan ignored him.

"Brother!! Brother! Can you calm down?! You name a number, as long as I have it, I will never bargain!" Ruan Zheng Tan roared with red eyes and an urgent tone, "Can you give me your account now, and I can transfer the money immediately?!"

Su Tiannan fastened the two belts together, slowly stood up, and kicked Ruan Zheng Tan in the shoulder: "Do you think I'm risking my life just for money?"

"Damn it! Don't tell me you're going to talk to me about faith?! I've been a military intelligence officer for ten years, and the deputy director of military intelligence for six or seven years! Let me tell you, faith is bullshit! I bled and sweated for the Old Triangle hundreds of times, and an upper-level political struggle negated all our achievements! Pu Xingbang said a word, and those of us who contributed our lives to the Greater District became unpardonable traitors!! What do you think faith is? We are just nameless pawns and victims under the political situation! Do you still think you are so noble?" Ruan Zheng Tan shouted back: "Can't you be a little more sober?! Isn't it more practical to take the credit and the money and leave? You may never encounter such an opportunity in your life! Are you afraid that after I escape, I will continue to cooperate with Area One? Then you'll get into trouble?"

Su Tiannan looked at him coldly, with a hint of a smile on his lips.

"I won't! I really won't!" Ruan Zheng Tan said in a trembling voice: "I want to die in the public eye more than anyone else!! As long as I'm gone today, you will never hear the name Ruan Zheng Tan again in this life! I have money, I have a family, I will find a very comfortable place, change my name and live out the rest of my life! I'm tired!"

Su Tiannan bent down, grabbed Ruan Zheng Tan's hair, and said word by word, "Do you know what retribution is? I'll tell you a secret. The people you were going to kill in Hanoi before you left are all my relatives! My sister, my parents, my own brothers... My surname is Su, my name is Su Tiannan!!"

Dazed, confused, and sluggish!

Ruan Zheng Tan looked at Su Tiannan with dilated pupils, his brain buzzing.

"You want to kill my whole family, and you still expect me to let you go?!" Su Tiannan slowly put the belt around Ruan Zheng Tan's neck: "Damn you, retribution is coming, catch it!!"

Ruan Zheng Tan struggled violently, kicking the ground with his feet and shouting: "I'll give you everything! I'm in my position, I have to do it! Let me go, I'll give you everything!!"

Su Tiannan wasn't a fool. He would not be bewitched by Ruan Zheng Tan's last words. If the person was gone, he wouldn't know who would take the money. He increased the strength in his hands and strangled Ruan Zheng Tan's neck tightly until the other person's face turned red, the blood vessels in his eyes burst, and he suffocated to death!

Among all the traitors, Ruan Zheng Tan died the most miserably, because he was hanged on the stone bridge leaving the small town, his clothes were stripped off, and the words "Death to Traitors" were written on his body in blood.

Ruan Zheng Tan was gone, but the families of these traitors did not fare well either!! After the castle assassination case, the Area One Greater District Security Department was furious, but at the same time, they felt that it was too embarrassing for these people to be killed by the enemy on their own territory, so they only claimed to the outside world that the castle had suffered a terrorist attack, and announced some information about the suspects.

Ruan Zheng Tan's family, as well as the families of other traitors, were ruthlessly abandoned by Area One after they lost any political value. A group of dignitaries in the Greater District Security Bureau used extortion to squeeze all their cash outside the district, and finally expelled them from the country as illegal immigrants.

These people had no status in the pending planning area. Some were caught and sent back to the Old Triangle for life imprisonment. Some children, in order to survive, could only run various gray businesses. Some were beaten to death, and women were forced into brothels...

It's hard to say who brought about this tragic situation.

...

Three days after the incident, at more than 11 p.m.

In an apartment building in New York City, Area One, Zhang Tao Tao stood in front of her door and had just entered the unlock code when she found that the electronic lock was broken.

Turning her head, Zhang Tao Tao was about to walk towards the elevator when she noticed that the door in the fire escape was closed.

Why did this scene seem a little familiar?

Thinking of this, Zhang Tao Tao's hair stood on end, and she couldn't help but speed up her pace.

"Creak!"

The door opened, a pair of big hands covered Zhang Tao Tao's mouth, and a voice came: "Don't move!!"

This time, Zhang Tao Tao did not resist at all, but stood quietly at the entrance of the fire escape, and replied vaguely: "Don't do this, I know it's you, I'm tired...!"

At the same time.

Su Tianyu in the Old Triangle received news that his elder brother had escaped from prison!
