Chapter 156 Dogs fight, unaware of the oriole behind!

Gu Beixiao kept his eyes fixed on him out of the corner of his eye.

The moment he saw him move, a hint of mockery flashed across Gu Beixiao's face.

He pretended to be going to break up the fight and strode forward.

"Hey, stop fighting! Let's talk this out!"

His body happened to block "Brother Zhang's" path, and one foot seemed to stretch out to the side unintentionally.

"Brother Zhang," who was rushing forward headlong, couldn't see where he was standing and tripped right in the middle.

"Ouch!"

A scream.

"Brother Zhang" fell face-first to the ground, his front teeth seemingly knocked out, and his mouth full of blood.

The oil paper package slipped from his hand and flew out, the paper inside fluttering gently to the ground.

And at this very moment.

"Squeak—"

The door to the private room was slowly pushed open from the outside.

There were no hurried footsteps outside the door, only a chilling stillness.

The two women wrestling in the private room, "Brother Zhang" lying on the ground, and Gu Beixiao pretending to break up the fight—everyone froze in their tracks.

They all turned to look at the doorway.

Su Yue, her pregnant belly already showing, stood there calmly, supported by her husband Gu Beichen.

Her face was somewhat pale, but her eyes were unusually bright, carrying a coldness that seemed to see through everything.

Behind her stood Chief Engineer He, and several military leaders in uniform with stars on their shoulders.

What terrified "Brother Zhang" and Zhang Sisi even more was that next to the leader were several local industry and commerce bureau comrades in blue uniforms with serious expressions.

The air in the entire private room seemed to freeze.

Su Yue glanced around at the mess in the room, her gaze landing on Liu Ran and Zhang Sisi, who were wrestling and disheveled.

She spoke softly, her voice not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"You two, have you had enough?"

"If you've made enough of a scene, could you please step aside?"

Su Yue even had a faint smile on her face.

"Don't delay us... to catch commercial spies."

Corporate espionage?!

These four words were like a bolt from the blue, stunning Zhang Sisi and Liu Ran completely.

They stiffly released each other.

The man on the ground, "Brother Zhang," trembled with fear. Ignoring the blood in his mouth, he tried to get up and run away as fast as he could.

"Don't move!"

Two officers from the Industry and Commerce Bureau rushed forward and, with a swift movement, pinned him to the ground.

"We are from the Industry and Commerce Bureau. We received a report that you are suspected of illegal technology transactions!"

"Brother Zhang" tried to deny it: "I didn't! I don't know anything!"

"Yeah?"

A middle-aged military officer stepped out from behind Su Yue; it was Commander Liu Xingsheng.

He didn't even glance at "Brother Zhang" on the ground; his gaze fell directly on Zhang Sisi, whose face was deathly pale.

"The officials from the Industry and Commerce Bureau are only assisting in the investigation; it's us who are really looking for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, two men dressed in plainclothes, but with distinctly different demeanors, walked in and took over "Brother Zhang" directly from the comrade from the Industry and Commerce Bureau.

One of them started rummaging through the suitcase that "Brother Zhang" had dropped on the ground.

Besides the box full of "Great Unity" items, several letters were soon unearthed.

The man opened the envelope, glanced at it quickly, and his expression immediately changed.

He walked over to Commander Liu Xingsheng and whispered a few words of report.

Liu Xingsheng's face visibly darkened.

He picked up one of the letters, looked at Zhang Sisi who was trembling like a leaf, and read it aloud, word by word:

"The Hainan Island pharmaceutical project must be destroyed, at any cost. If necessary, all resources left behind by the 'Vultures' can be used."

Vultures!

Qian Guodong's code name!

Zhang Sisi's mind went blank for a moment.

She never imagined things would escalate to this point!

This is no longer a simple business competition!

This is an enemy intelligence operation!

"No...it wasn't me!" She shook her head violently, tears and snot streaming down her face. Pointing at "Brother Zhang" on the ground, she screamed shrilly, "It was him! He did it all! I didn't know anything! I just wanted to buy a formula!"

"take away!"

Liu Xingsheng didn't bother to look at her again and gave the order directly.

Two plainclothes officers immediately stepped forward, one on each side, to support Zhang Sisi, whose legs had gone weak and she could no longer stand.

"No! I'm innocent! I've been framed!"

Zhang Sisi was still struggling and crying frantically.

"Gu Beixiao! Save me! For the sake of our two families' long-standing friendship, please put in a good word for me!"

Gu Beixiao stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at her coldly as if she were a clown.

"I don't know you well."

Those four simple words completely shattered Zhang Sisi's last psychological defenses.

She was forcibly dragged out, and her cries gradually faded into the distance.

Inside the private room, only Liu Ran remained, stunned and speechless.

She watched this dramatic scene unfold, her initial anger turning to bewilderment, and now to fear, leaving her completely stunned.

She finally realized the enormity of her mistake.

She not only ruined a meticulously planned arrest operation, but also staged a full-blown brawl in front of the highest-ranking military leader.

Liu Xingsheng turned his gaze to her, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

"Comrade Liu Ran."

"Here!" Liu Ran jumped up and stood up straight instinctively.

"At the crucial scene of the arrest of enemy agents, they disregarded discipline, provoked trouble, and openly fought, seriously disrupting the arrest operation."

With each word Liu Xingsheng uttered, Liu Ran's face paled a little more.

“Our military region’s cultural troupe is an artistic group, not a vegetable market. We don’t dare to hire a soldier like you.”

"Commander, I..."

"Effective today, you are expelled from the performing arts troupe. A major demerit is recorded in your file, effective immediately."

After Liu Xingsheng finished speaking, he didn't look at her again, but turned to Su Yue and said kindly:

"Director Su, thanks to your clever plan, we've dug out another malignant tumor for our military region!"

The pharmaceutical company was not only completely cleared of suspicion, but also received high praise from the military region for assisting in cracking enemy spy cases.

Su Yue smiled and shook her head: "It's because everyone cooperated well."

Gu Beixiao whistled and moved closer to Su Yue, lowering his voice.

"Sister-in-law, your trick of luring the enemy into a trap has resulted in two turtles biting each other inside. It's absolutely brilliant!"

Chu Jingya had followed them here at some point, and upon hearing this, she rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

You can't expect ivory to come out of a dog's mouth.

"Hey you……"

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting again, Su Yue waved her hand to stop them.

The storm has finally come to an end.

Su Yue looked at the cleaned-up private room and breathed a long sigh of relief.

With the pharmaceutical factory's crisis resolved, all the accomplices on Qian Guodong's and Zhang family's line were also wiped out in one fell swoop.

Now she can focus on her pregnancy and plan the next steps for the pharmaceutical company.

For example, that mysterious parasitic vine...

As she was thinking, a sharp, cramping pain suddenly shot through her abdomen!

The pain came on suddenly and violently, like countless needles stabbing inside.

"Hmm..."

Su Yue groaned, a fine layer of cold sweat instantly appearing on her forehead, her face turning deathly pale.

She instinctively bent over and covered her stomach tightly with both hands.

"Yueyue!"

Gu Beichen, who had been staying by her side the whole time, was the first to notice that something was wrong with her.

Seeing his wife's pained expression, the heart that had just settled instantly jumped back into his throat.

He caught Su Yue's swaying body, his voice filled with undisguised panic and trembling.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
