Meanwhile, Shi Zhixin believed his plan was excellent.

While not being completely flawless will absolve you of your guilt, it's still a good way to protect yourself.

However, there was one thing he hadn't anticipated.

With Shen Mu Ning as an external helper, Xin Chi's true identity was discovered.

Even during interrogations, they didn't follow the usual methods, directly using drugs and hypnosis, which was actually a form of mental intrusion.

That way, without Xin Chi even realizing it, his little secrets could be completely uncovered.

This includes not only his relationship with Shi Zhixin, but also the dirty deeds they committed in collusion.

It also included everyone he knew in the antique trafficking network.

Sun Wu and Yan Bin, who believed in Shen Mu Ning's abilities, also acted swiftly.

They immediately dispatched personnel to monitor all suspicious individuals.

Whether it was his desire to travel to the south on business or his actions of delivering messages, everything was under the military's surveillance.

************

The next morning, after confirming that I could go on a business trip to the south.

They then disseminated their orders through other special channels.

As for Crescent Moon Bookstore, he didn't contact them again.

After all, Ji Xiuming was someone he had met by chance a few years ago when he was on a business trip in the south.

Only after learning of his special abilities did they settle him in Chunshi.

Although many people in the organization knew of his existence as a special talent.

But he was the only one who had ever seen his true face.

His contact with Ji Xiuming was infrequent, and each time they used coded language that was unknown to others.

He used different masks when meeting and contacting other people.

Once Shi Zhixin left, no one would know.

Ji Xiuming, the bookstore employee, had no connection with people who trafficked in cultural relics.

Therefore, when Shi Zhixin had someone deliver the message, he overlooked Ji Xiuming.

He was unaware that Ji Xiuming had already sold off his job and residence.

She's packing her bags at home, preparing to change her identity and leave this place with Ji Xuan!

Furthermore, because Xin Chi didn't understand Ji Xiuming, Shen Mu Ning was unable to obtain any information about him.

This allowed him to leave Chunshi safely and start a new life with Ji Xuan in Liao Province.

Shi Zhixin and his men's supposedly secretive actions were completely exposed to the military.

Upon receiving the information, the person in charge of the operation immediately reported to Yan Bin.

"Reporting to the commander, we have detected unusual activity from the target today!"

In Yan Bin's office, Ji Heng, who was paying close attention to the matter, also sat to the side listening.

"What happened?"

Upon hearing the message from their subordinate, the two exchanged a glance.

They both saw the regret in each other's eyes: if only Shi Zhixin had reacted a little slower.

They all knew that even if news of the city and military operations were blocked, it wouldn't be effective.

However, as long as Xin Chi disappears along with his men and antiques, it will inevitably arouse Shi Zhixin's suspicion.

They don't have much time left to collect evidence and investigate!

But no one expected the enemy to react so quickly.

"Your subordinates have learned that the primary target is preparing to head south tomorrow, key targets are to be evacuated at will, and everyone else is to remain silent."

Of all these people, Shi Zhixin's whereabouts were the easiest to find out.

After all, the power he wielded was among the top in the province.

His every move is watched by many people.

Sure enough, the news of his business trip to the south had already spread as soon as it was finalized.

Even though the people he sent to monitor Shi Zhixin couldn't get close, they still learned of this news.
