Dong Zhenhong heard the shout and was so scared that he immediately ran upstairs. As he was scurrying away, a long leg suddenly appeared around the corner, causing him to trip and fall face-first to the ground.
Dong Zhenhong let out a cry of pain and hurriedly looked up at the person who tripped him. It was Boyce!
How could it be Boyce?
Wasn’t Boyce captured?
Dong Zhenhong froze in shock, his face filled with astonishment as he stared at the man before him. Unlike his own disheveled and panicked appearance, Boyce seemed extremely calm.
Leaning lazily against the wall, Boyce looked down at the fallen man with a lofty gaze. "Where do you think you’re running to?"
"Boyce... weren’t you captured?" Dong Zhenhong’s eyes were about to pop out of his head. He had clearly seen Boyce being handcuffed!
Why was Boyce standing here perfectly fine?
"What crime did I commit? Why would I be captured?" Boyce slowly stood upright, his gaze icy as he looked at Dong Zhenhong. "But you, Dong Zhenhong, you’ve skulked around for so many years. It’s time for you to atone for your sins."
"You... you..."
Dong Zhenhong’s mind was in turmoil, unable to comprehend Boyce’s words or understand how things had turned out this way. It felt as if someone had deliberately orchestrated all of this.
The footsteps downstairs were getting closer.
Suddenly snapping back to his senses, Dong Zhenhong tried to retrieve the gun he had dropped. But Boyce was faster, kicking the gun even further away, leaving him defenseless. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
"Boyce! We have no enmity! Why are you framing me!" Dong Zhenhong shakily stood up, his eyes red as he questioned Boyce.
Boyce smiled faintly, "How am I framing you?"
"Bennett thinks I led people here to catch him!" Dong Zhenhong, who had been unsure before, now felt certain that Boyce was responsible after seeing his calm demeanor. "You leaked the information to have people capture Bennett!"
"Me?" Boyce chuckled softly. "How does capturing Bennett benefit me? Working with Bennett offers me the greatest advantage."
Hearing Boyce’s denial, Dong Zhenhong furrowed his brows, sensing something was amiss.
Meanwhile, Qin Niexun and his team had caught up.
Raising his gun, Qin Niexun quickly scanned the staircase and noticed another figure. Dong Zhenhong, seeing Qin Niexun, immediately tried to run.
Boyce swiftly extended his leg again, tripping Dong Zhenhong.
Qin Niexun rushed forward, seizing the opportunity to pin Dong Zhenhong down and handcuff him.
Dong Zhenhong struggled and shouted, "Are you blind? Boyce is right there! He just made a deal with Bennett! You should be capturing him!"
Qin Niexun slapped the back of Dong Zhenhong’s head. "Shut up!"
Dong Zhenhong winced in pain.
Pulling Dong Zhenhong up, Qin Niexun prepared to lead him back down. He paused and looked at the man still standing by the wall.
Boyce met his gaze and said, "I surrender. I’ll go with you."
He then began walking slowly behind them, showing no signs of resistance.
Dong Zhenhong, glaring at Boyce and then at Qin Niexun, angrily asked, "Why doesn’t he have to be handcuffed?"
Qin Niexun slapped Dong Zhenhong’s head again. "I said shut up! Are you deaf?"
"You..." Dong Zhenhong gritted his teeth. "Who are you? Do you have an arrest warrant?"
Qin Niexun sneered. "I never change my name or sit in disguise. I’m Qin Niexun."
"Qin Niexun?" Dong Zhenhong thought, isn’t he from the criminal investigation team?
His mind suddenly went blank as he thought of another person.
Qin Fujia.
Dong Zhenhong stared intently at Qin Niexun. "What is Qin Fujia to you?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? Are you here to check my household registration?" Qin Niexun retorted. "Do you have a search warrant?"
"You and Qin Fujia are in cahoots!" Dong Zhenhong, though unclear of the exact relationship, was certain they were working together.
And Boyce? Who was Boyce aligned with?
Dong Zhenhong couldn’t figure out the connections but had a new plan forming in his mind.
As Qin Niexun led Dong Zhenhong downstairs, he informed his team, "Dong Zhenhong is captured."
After a pause, he added, "Boyce is with me too."
Dong Zhenhong lowered his head, hiding the fierce look in his eyes. His handcuffed hands moved stealthily towards his back.
Just as the blade flashed from his waistband, a voice came from behind:
"Watch out! He has a knife!" Boyce’s eyes narrowed.
Qin Niexun reacted swiftly, dodging Dong Zhenhong’s attack, but his arm was still slashed, blood gushing out.
Boyce kicked Dong Zhenhong hard.
Dong Zhenhong screamed, rolling down the stairs, his weapon falling from his hand.
Downstairs, Qin Niexun’s team members caught up and secured Dong Zhenhong.
Looking at his bleeding arm, Qin Niexun saw a deep cut with blood dripping profusely onto the stairs.
Boyce tore a piece of his shirt and wrapped it around Qin Niexun’s arm. "Get it bandaged quickly."
Qin Niexun nodded, accepting the advice.
Pinned down, Dong Zhenhong glanced up the stairs and saw Boyce and Qin Niexun interacting harmoniously, with no one attempting to apprehend Boyce.
"You... you’re..." Dong Zhenhong finally realized Boyce’s true identity.
"You’re an undercover agent!"
Boyce glanced at him briefly and, ignoring his words, walked towards the black cars with Qin Niexun. "Did you capture everyone else?"
"We got both groups, no one escaped." Qin Niexun replied, clutching his bandaged arm and glancing at Boyce, the rumored undercover agent. "Bennett still hasn’t suspected you."
