This is a huge achievement that came out of nowhere! This is a nationally wanted fugitive, the murderer of Zhong Jiahao, and a member of the Binhai underworld.

Now that he's been caught, he's added another achievement to his record. He just caught a spy a while ago, and now he's caught a vicious fugitive. The main leaders of the branch bureau definitely haven't escaped. As for whether they can be listed as municipal bureaus, that depends on what the higher-ups want.

Director Niu also understood Zhang Fan's meaning: to provide some intelligence should someone try to target him in the future.

As long as it doesn't violate principles, anything is permissible.

The person was quickly taken to the interrogation room. Just as Director Niu was about to begin the interrogation, people from the anti-gang office arrived.

They took the person away directly because they had high authority, so only they could interrogate the person.

Director Niu had no choice; after all, he was just the area manager.

The anti-gang office took them away; all the credit for the rest will go to them.

Downstairs from the anti-gang office.

In this unassuming little teahouse, time seems to flow more slowly, and the hustle and bustle of the outside world is gently isolated by the aroma of tea.

This small teahouse, at some unknown time, quietly became Huo Deguang's private haven.

Despite the outside world's speculation about whether Huo Deguang held unknown shares in the teahouse, he always smiled calmly and remained silent, his composure seemingly tinged with the steam rising from the teahouse.

Today, the teahouse still maintains its unique tranquility and harmony. Huo Deguang sits in his usual spot, gently stroking the warm teacup in his hand, but his gaze is fixed on the figure hurrying towards him outside the teahouse through the window.

That was Miss Shen, a woman who always presented a glamorous image, but at this moment she looked unusually travel-worn.

The wind gently lifted her trench coat, its hem swaying as if carrying the dust and haste of her journey, while her face betrayed her exhaustion and anxiety.

Miss Shen walked briskly, with a clear goal in mind, heading straight for the teahouse. Her eyes gleamed with a complex light, reflecting both her unease about the situation she was about to face.

Seeing this, Huo Deguang's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, a smile that contained both confidence in what was about to happen and a faint mockery of the complex and fickle nature of humanity.

He knew that the reason Miss Shen was so anxious was because of his trump card—Brother Guoqiang.

Guoqiang, a man who was once incredibly successful but is now imprisoned, not only uncovered the truth behind several cases after his arrest, but also dragged Miss Shen into the center of a storm.

Guoqiang's confession during the interrogation was like a bombshell, pointing directly at Miss Shen and accusing her of hiring someone to commit murder. If this is proven true, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Miss Shen pushed open the door of the teahouse, and a gust of cold wind swept in, breaking the tranquility of the room.

She walked straight toward Huo Deguang, her gaze sharp, as if trying to see through his disguise and reach his heart.

The two locked eyes, a subtle tension filling the air, as if a silent duel was about to unfold.

Without any further pleasantries, Miss Shen took out a bank card from her bag and gently placed it on the table. The card gleamed with a cold metallic luster under the light, making it particularly eye-catching.

“This is a HSBC card from Hong Kong. There are ten million in it. The password is xxxx.” Her voice was calm and firm, and every word seemed to have been carefully considered. “When you go to Hong Kong, you can withdraw cash or transfer money, or exchange foreign currency. Director Huo, thank you for your hard work.”

Huo Deguang's gaze lingered on the bank card for a moment before returning to Miss Shen's face. His eyes held both indifference to the temptation of money and a hint of amusement at Miss Shen's actions.

Huo Deguang spoke slowly, his voice deep and magnetic: "Miss Shen, are you testing my professional ethics, or are you testing the bottom line of the law?"

Miss Shen smiled slightly, a hint of bitterness in her smile: "Director Huo, we are both smart people, there's no need for those high-sounding words. You and I both know that this world is far more complicated than it appears on the surface. I can explain Guoqiang's matter, but before that, I'd rather show my sincerity through actions."

Huo Deguang shook his head slightly, seemingly feeling sorry for Miss Shen's stubbornness: "Miss Shen, you know better than I what the consequences will be if the hiring of a hitman is exposed. Everyone is equal before the law, and even you cannot escape it. I hope you can understand that the real solution is not to cover up the crime with money, but to face reality and have the courage to take responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Miss Shen's eyes flashed with a complex emotion, reflecting her helplessness in the face of her predicament.

Inside the teahouse, the aroma of tea lingered, but an indescribable heaviness permeated the air.

This old fox has found a weakness, so he's going to fleece you as much as possible!

Ten million isn't enough to shut him up?

How could he be so greedy?

By the end of this year, ten million yuan could buy ten houses in Binhai!

Is he still not satisfied?

Is he even more difficult to deal with than Director Wu?

"The underground lottery needs to be regulated. I think it's okay for me to have 50% of the shares."

Huo Deguang chuckled softly.

Huo Deguang is different from Director Wu in that he is interested in money but not in women. But Director Wu is different; he is greedy for everything, and his greed is excessive.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been arrested by Chen Bangyong and his men.

Fifty percent?

Shares held in kind?

Underground lotteries require payouts, with a payout rate of around 10%. There are also various costs involved. The person who takes the bets also needs to make a profit, and everyone else needs to make a profit, so you don't even get a 50% profit in your own hands.

Do you want 50% now?

Isn't that helping him?

How can I earn money myself?

"I can't earn that much money."

Miss Shen really wanted to kill Huo Deguang.

"Then get ready, I'll have someone arrest you."

Huo Deguang didn't give Miss Shen any bargaining chips at all.

Underground lotteries are so profitable these days, what's wrong with taking 50%?

Miss Shen gritted her teeth and looked at Huo Deguang.

"Okay, I'll give you 50%."

Huo Deguang smiled after hearing this.

"I need the records, I need to check them. If you falsify anything, then I'm sorry."

A meaningful gaze fell upon Miss Shen.

Miss Shen was furious.

But I had no choice but to nod, then picked up my bag and walked out.

How could someone as capable as Brother Guoqiang be arrested?

Now, things haven't been resolved properly, and instead, Huo Deguang has found a weakness in his hands.

Does that mean we should get rid of Huo Deguang?

Because the dead cannot speak.

Stepping out of the teahouse, Miss Shen revealed a fierce look. Since they dared to threaten her, then even the director of the anti-gang office had to die. Did they really think that little director was some big shot?
