C46 (1/2)

Assassination? Meng Nanshan couldn't help but frown. He was stunned for a while, then shook his head firmly, ”We are police officers. We must use proper channels to deal with this. Tang Lei, you don't need to think about this evil way anymore. It won't work.”

As we left the office and walked along the corridor, Seventh Uncle whispered to me, ”Where's Lan Xin?”

”I sent him away.” He replied with a simple sentence.

Seventh Uncle nodded. ”Inform Lan Xin that tonight, we will assassinate Ma Kui.”

Fatty Lei and I stopped at the same time and blinked at each other. ”Seventh Uncle, are you sure you're not mistaken?!” Chief Meng already denied it just now. ”

Seventh Uncle sighed, ”Different responsibilities. This is the simplest and most direct method. Today, the boss let Ding Lan Xin go, and the storm will become even more violent. The Bureau cannot change owners. I will take all the responsibility.”

After hearing Seventh Uncle's affirmation, Fatty Lei became interested, ”That's great, speak! Seventh Uncle, what are we doing? ”

Seventh Uncle's next words greatly disappointed Fatty Lei. ”With Fatty Lei as the backup, Lan Xin will be in charge of the assassination. Huang Quan, you must ensure the safety of Ding Lan Xin.”

I nodded my head heavily. To me, this was a piece of cake. It wasn't efficient for me to fight, but it wasn't difficult for me to set up a Bewitching Array. I immediately agreed to Seventh Uncle's request.

After we left the Bureau, I parted ways with Fat Thunder. I went to see Ding Lan Xin, whose address only I knew. Although the Chief had promised to let him off, who could guarantee that they wouldn't play dirty tricks?

Ding Lan cautiously opened the door of the rented room. ”You haven't been followed, right?”

After I entered, I chuckled. ”I say, when did you become a coward? This isn't like the you I know!” It was all for nothing. ”

Ding Lan Xin poured me a glass of water and said, ”The Bureau's water is very deep. It's all in person and behind my back. Now that I have lost my identity and the protection of the operation team, I'm like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.”

I took a sip of water. ”Seventh Uncle has a mission for us?”

Ding Lan's heart skipped a beat. ”I …” I can still... ”Forget it, let's help me reply. Thank you for your trust, Seventh Uncle. Even if we make up for it, we won't be able to save Old Duan's life.”

As she finished speaking, the grief and sorrow on Ding Lan's face came from her heart. Her face was filled with regret.

I put down my teacup and lit a cigarette. ”There are some things that you don't know. The Chief, Duan Hongqi, and Committee Leader Ma colluded and prepared to usurp the position in the Bureau. The evidence was found by me and Fat Lei in the Old Duan family.

Ding Lan looked at me doubtfully. ”Is what you said really true?”

”Of course, the letter that you found in Old Duan's house is still in Chief Meng's hands. You can see it for yourself when you complete this mission.”

Ding Lan was still hesitating. She turned around and rested for a while. ”Seventh Uncle, what do you want me to do?”

I flicked the ash from my cigarette and replied smilingly, ”It's not you alone, but us. Seventh Uncle told us to …” I stood up and whispered into Ding Lan's ear. ”Assassinate Ma Kui.”

Ding Lan was alarmed. I continued, ”The culprit is him. We must cut off this thread first before Seventh Uncle has the chance to overthrow the intelligence department.”

Ding Lan sighed heavily in her heart. ”Alright, I'll listen to you when the time comes.”

I sat down on the bed. ”Lan Xin, there are two things I don't understand. Why would the conch plate from the northeast be at the scene of the murder? And why did you stab Iron Head? ”

Ding Lan looked at me affectionately. ”Stealing the conch plate isn't a difficult matter. As for why I killed Iron Head, I don't want to explain. If you still believe me.”

I lit a second cigarette and blew out smoke rings. In my mind, I had too many questions about Ding Lan Xin. Today, I pulled her back from the gates of hell, and if she still doesn't tell me the truth, I won't have any friends to do it anymore. You called Guang Yang from the car, and the target was me and Fatty Lei. Could that fatty be hindering your goal? ”

Ding Lan's eyes slowly trembled. ”Yes!” In order to get the [Psychic's Secrets], in order to ensure my safety in the Bureau, the only thing we can do is to make Tang Lei an eternal mute. ”

I nodded with the cigarette in my mouth. ”After that, did Guang Yang assassinate Fatty Lei when he was gone?”

”Yes!” Ding Lan didn't flinch at all. ”Tang Lei is too smart. With him around, we won't be safe. Afternoon had carried out two assassination attempts, but he was able to predict our escape.”
