Chapter 1021 The Situation

Hotel entrance.

Xue Nan yanked the door open and got into the car. After thinking for a long time, he immediately dialed Zhou Xian's number.

"Hello?!"

"Mr. Zhou...Mr. Zhou, I have a situation here." Xue Nan said, biting the bullet, "The girl who was used as bait has been discovered and is dead."

"Dead? Who did it?!" Zhou Xian shouted coldly.

"It's probably An Qi Qi and another girl. They discovered the bait's identity. The three of them had a conflict and accidentally beat our man to death." Xue Nan replied anxiously, "Now these two girls have run away, but they definitely can't leave the island."

Zhou Xian was silent.

"…!" Xue Nan didn't hear Zhou Xian's response and felt very flustered. He immediately explained, "I didn't handle this well, it's my fault. But the bait we found was an outsider with poor professionalism and adaptability…"

"Which local police station manages that island?" Zhou Xian asked directly.

"The Sa Fu County Police Station." Xue Nan immediately replied, "Mr. Zhou, there is still a chance to turn things around, we can work it. Without even thinking about it, An Qi Qi must have participated in the murder!"

"Disappear, leave Hua Fu immediately." Zhou Xian said in a lukewarm tone.

"Oh, okay, okay, I understand."

"Okay, that's it."

After speaking, the two ended the call. Xue Nan cursed violently, "Wang Ying! You're just a piece of trash!"

For the Xue family, they were able to get on Zhou Xian's line thanks to Kang Dinghuang's introduction, because previously they could only contact high-level cadres in the garrison. Frankly speaking, they couldn't even talk to Tan Hengqiang, at most they could only contact Tan Mingzhao.

Some time ago, the old faction represented by Zhou Xian had irreconcilable conflicts with the garrison, and the Xue family, caught in the middle, had to take a stand.

Since recently, the Qing Yi Bureau and Zhou Xian's people have been laying out plans against Lao Mo, the Xue family living here must express their loyalty to them, so they secretly distanced themselves from the garrison. Because their business center was not in Dragon City, constantly sucking up to Tan Hengqiang was useless.

In other words, Xue Nan getting An Qi Qi was the first task Zhou Xian gave him. He originally wanted to show off, but now, because of Wang Ying's death, the matter was ruined.

For Xue Nan, this result was difficult to accept. He had done a lot of preparation work in the early stage, quickly bought off Wang Ying, and secretly spent a lot of money, but now he had backfired, and Zhou Xian would likely abandon the Xue family completely because of this mistake.

In the car, Xue Nan thought anxiously for a long time and immediately called Kang Dinghuang: "Leader, I have a situation here…!"

…

First District, New York City.

Zhou Xian, who had returned to recuperate for a while, sat on the sofa and cursed with a gloomy face, "They're all trash! They only know how to make money off of us, but when it comes to critical matters, not a single one of them is useful!!"

The people accompanying Zhou Xian didn't dare to respond.

Zhou Xian lowered his head and rubbed his face, saying in a hoarse voice, "Call the Hua Zhou Police Liaison Office and order the Sa Fu County Police Station to arrest people immediately!! Once they have them, hand them directly over to higher-level departments!"

"Yes, I'll take care of it!" The person next to him replied.

"Damn it, a matter that even a fool could handle has been messed up by the Xue family!" Zhou Xian cursed angrily, "I could have used this to completely lock down An Zecheng and cut off contact between him and Tan Hengqiang, but now I've only gotten An Qi Qi."

After speaking, Zhou Xian stood up angrily, "You guys handle it!"

"Don't be angry, if An Qi Qi is arrested, it will also be a significant blow to An Zecheng." The middle-aged man next to him persuaded.

Zhou Xian glanced at him coldly without replying, and walked out of the room.

For Zhou Xian, the biggest gain from this situation was already gone the moment An Qi Qi killed someone.

Originally, Zhou Xian's plan was to set a trap, let An Qi Qi participate in Wang Ying's investment, and then connect the companies invested in by both parties with Hua District capital. Using An Zecheng's acceptance of bribes through his daughter's relationship, he would completely lock down the An couple, causing them to fall or defect to his side.

Does this plan sound familiar?!

In fact, this was the entire process of the Xin family's downfall, copied by Zhou Xian. The only difference was that Xin Xiaoming did receive money from Hua District, while An Zecheng was completely framed.

But none of this was important. As long as the situation was set up carefully, the accounts were clear, the logic was smooth, and An Qi Qi did come into contact with Hua District's red infiltration capital, then Lao An would have no chance to turn things around.

Why?

Because the Xin family's defection had already happened. The higher-ups were now paying close attention to this kind of thing. As long as there was evidence and leverage in hand, no one could protect Lao An.

But he never expected that the bait would be eaten directly by An Qi Qi and Qiu Qiu as soon as it was dropped. Before the other party could even have time to contact the red capital, the matter had already reached its climax, and nothing would change.

Zhou Xian left the meeting room, lowered his head, and dialed the number of a diplomatic staff member of the old faction. He instructed him in a low voice, "Here's what you need to do: go to Hua Fu immediately and communicate with the people from the Police Liaison Office. Just tell them directly that the person involved is An Zecheng's daughter, and this person's current political stance in Dragon City is suspicious, so we need to conduct the most thorough investigation into her case."

"Understood!"

Zhou Xian had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and retaliate against Lao An.

…

In the island's park.

Qiu Qiu was hugging her legs and crying loudly. She kept asking An Qi Qi what to do, while the latter looked slightly calmer than her, sitting on the lawn, staring blankly at the ground.

Perhaps because she had run out of tears from the previous period, or perhaps because too many events recently had made An Qi Qi feel numb, so she wasn't too emotionally agitated, and she had been having the urge to call Su Tianyu.

But this urge was quickly suppressed by An Qi Qi.

They had already broken up, so what was the point of calling at this time?

"Tap tap!"

Just as Qiu Qiu was crying, a series of footsteps came over, and An Qi Qi suddenly looked back.

"Put your hands above your head, don't make any sudden moves, I will shoot you, lady!" A police officer shouted, holding a gun, "Now slowly stand up!"

All around, footsteps on the grass rose, and a large group of police officers surrounded them.

…

Dragon City.

Yu Mingyuan had already taken Shuang Hui and was rushing to Hua Fu.

"The Qing Yi Bureau's hand has reached out to your sister?!" Kong Zheng Hui asked in disbelief.

"I don't know who's reaching out yet!" Yu Mingyuan urged, frowning, "Drive faster!"
