The man raised an eyebrow. "Oh? So you're not the only one lying in wait here?"

"certainly!"

As soon as Jiang Dong finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and several bodyguards rushed in with guns drawn!

"Don't move! Put down your gun!"

"Do you dare to shoot?" The doctor calmly pointed his gun at Jiang Dong's head. "I heard he's Zhan Jingting's right-hand man. Zhan Jingting probably wouldn't want him to die, right? Get out of my way, or I'll shoot him!"

Qiao Wanwan and Zhan Yin rushed in.

"Don't shoot!" Qiao Wanwan shouted sharply. "He Songling, let him go!"

"Madam Zhan, you have excellent hearing. We haven't known each other long, yet you recognized my voice." He Songling freed one hand to remove her mask. "That's right, it's me. We meet again. I remember we exchanged some harsh words when we parted last time, but I wonder who will die at whose hands today..."

"That's a story for later," Qiao Wanwan asked. "How is my sister?"

"Don't worry, although she tried to escape, we didn't do anything to her. It's just that we can no longer make things convenient for her."

"The person behind you is ruthless enough to send you to kill their own people," Qiao Wanwan chuckled. "Do you know that the person you killed, despite enduring torture, didn't say a word and didn't betray you at all? It's pitiful; so loyal, only to be killed by the very person they served..."

He Songling smiled calmly, “Loyalty is a principle he should possess, but killing him is the decisiveness that a superior should have, because only the dead will shut up forever.”

“If a leader’s decisiveness means ignoring the lives of his subordinates, then he is destined not to go far, because people will become disheartened,” Qiao Wanwan said coldly. “Release Jiang Dong, and perhaps I can consider letting you suffer less.”

"Is that so?" He Songling smiled. "Isn't Madam Zhan speaking a bit too soon?"

"It's not early," Jiang Dong said. "Do you know why you took my gun? Because there were only two bullets in it. One hit you, and the other you used to kill your own man. There are no bullets left. You can't escape!"

"Hahahaha..." He Songling burst into laughter. "Jiang Dong, you are indeed very clever, but unfortunately, your cleverness has backfired. Do you really think that I can't even tell whether there are bullets in a gun?"

Jiang Dong frowned. "So you had other preparations!"

“Of course, I came here prepared to leave unscathed!” He Songling pulled open his white coat, revealing a bomb strapped to his waist. “The bomb will explode the moment my heart stops beating. It’s heavy enough to destroy this building, so go ahead and fire!”

Jiang Dong immediately gave the order, "Put down your guns and escort the lady away!"

Qiao Wanwan stepped forward. "He Songling, release Jiang Dong, and I'll let you go!"

"Madam Zhan is indeed loyal and righteous; she even spared the life of such a subordinate." He Songling held onto Jiang Dong's neck tightly. "Don't worry, I find him a burden to carry around. I'll release him once I leave!"

"Madam, you should go first!" Jiang Dong said calmly. "Young Master Yin, it's dangerous here. Take Madam away quickly!"

Zhan Yin grabbed Qiao Wanwan's arm. "Wanwan, Jiang Dong is right. Let's go first!"

Qiao Wanwan's brain was working at lightning speed, and she quickly said, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a car waiting for you at the door, right? Listen carefully, my drone will be following you the whole time. If Jiang Dong doesn't return safely within ten minutes, the drone will bomb your car, and then nobody will survive!"

"Wanwan, let's go!"

Zhan Yin dragged Qiao Wanwan away.

He Songling took Jiang Dong hostage and led him out of the hotel, into a car parked by the roadside, which quickly sped away.

The bodyguards gave chase immediately!

After the car had driven a few hundred meters, the door suddenly opened, and Jiang Dong was thrown out of the car!

The bodyguards who were in hot pursuit immediately slammed on the brakes to rescue Jiang Dong!

"Assistant Jiang, are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Dong stretched his muscles. "Just a few scrapes, nothing serious."

"It's good that you're alright, is there any need to chase after her?"

"Stop chasing them," Jiang Dong said. "They came prepared and there's no way we can catch up. They have heavy weapons on the vehicles, and drones can't defeat them."

"Then let's go back and report, so that Madam won't worry."

Qiao Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Jiang Dong was alright. "It's good that he's safe. Thank you for your hard work."

"I'm sorry, Madam." Jiang Dong nodded apologetically. "It's my fault for letting him get away."

"How can you blame yourself?" Qiao Wanwan smiled. "Don't overthink it. Besides, our goal tonight wasn't to catch him in the first place."

Zhan Yin scratched his head. "Wanwan, do you have another purpose tonight?"

"Come with me."

Zhan Yin suddenly remembered something, "Where is my uncle?"

“Jingting and I can’t both be here at the same time, otherwise, like what just happened, if the enemy detonates the bomb, we’ll all be wiped out,” Qiao Wanwan said. “So I’ll handle things tonight, Jingting, you can rest.”

"I see."

The group arrived at the room where the incident had just occurred. Qiao Wanwan took out a small, exquisite medicine bottle from her pocket and held it in front of the man's nose.

A moment later, the man suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for breath!

Zhan Yin was a little confused. "Wanwan, wasn't he shot and killed?"

“No, since he knew so much, Jingting guessed that the other party might come to silence him, so he told Jiangdong to wait for him to come to him, and at the same time made other preparations.” Qiao Wanwan explained, “He was wearing a bulletproof vest. Of course, it was also his lucky day. If that shot had hit his head, we wouldn’t have been able to do anything. I gave him a kind of medicine that made him appear to be asleep, but in reality, his mind was clear and he could hear.”

Qiao Wanwan looked at the man on the bed, "You heard everything clearly just now. Even though you are so loyal, he doesn't trust you. He took such a big risk to kill you. Do you still want to continue being loyal?"

The man's face was pale, and he stared at Qiao Wanwan as if in disbelief!

Qiao Wanwan continued, "If you cooperate with me, I can save your life. I promise that once I've dealt with these people, I won't harm you and will set you free. But if you continue to refuse to cooperate, I won't even need to lift a finger. If I just let you out of here, they'll assume you've already vomited everything up. Do you think you can still live?"

"One path is death, the other is being killed by the boss you've always been loyal to. I don't think you'd choose the latter. Others were unrighteous first, and you're unjust in return, so there's nothing wrong with that."

The man looked at her. "Can you really save my life?"

"That depends on how much real information you can come up with, and whether that information is useful to me."

The man closed his eyes in pain. "Fine, I'll talk..."
