Chapter 2082: Chapter 2178: Vital Point

Actually, there is one thing Chen Wanqing hasn’t lied about—he never really wanted to hurt the Boss!

Su Xuan’s brother likes Chen Wanqing, and that affection is genuine. Chen Wanqing’s feelings are also real, but it’s a case of the right person at the wrong time. Chen Wanqing is a spy, and a high-level spy at that. His real name is Che Xiao, and just as Su Xuan predicted, he underwent plastic surgery and entered Huaxia under a different identity!

When the Boss was still the Director, his unique perspective saw the promise in the Boss’s future. So he decided to join his ranks without hesitation, becoming one of his inner circle!

Initially, he felt no affection for the Boss; his focus was on the mission, on stealing some data. Yet he unexpectedly found himself falling for the Director, sinking deeper into the affection. Nevertheless, once a spy, always a spy; he could turn a blind eye to some matters.

There was a period when Chen Wanqing really wanted to leave the spy organization. He genuinely wished to follow his beloved, supporting him in building a beautiful family together!

But then, over two months ago, he received a major task. This task required him to investigate a research talent whom Xia Guo’an had embedded within their ranks.

"Hmph... If I’m not mistaken, Xia Guo’an’s death was caused by you sealing his vital acupoint, thereby fabricating an alibi. According to the autopsy, you indeed had an alibi on the day he died, and the witnesses supporting it are formidable. There’s absolutely no suspicion on you. But the fact is, Xia Guo’an was sealed at his vital acupoint two days prior by you. I imagine you talked to him extensively, but Xia Guo’an was steadfast and would reveal nothing, leaving you with no choice but to abandon your efforts!"

Xia Guo’an, after having his vital acupoints sealed, died when his blood performed a Grand Circulation. When he was discovered, it was as if he had died from exhaustion; there were no internal injuries or visible signs. The forensic result was sudden death due to overwork!"

However, this matter caught the attention of the upper echelons, who suspected hidden truths in this seemingly straightforward case. As a result, they ordered the current Mayor, i.e., the Boss, to investigate further.

The Boss diligently investigated but found the case utterly confounding. It was only after poring over many classified files that he learned of Xia Guo’an’s involvement, which greatly shocked him!

So when confronted with the awkward situation, he considered asking Su Xuan for help, knowing Su Xuan’s formidable power. Yet he didn’t expect Su Xuan to vanish without a trace.

But when Su Xuan returned, he resolved the matter directly. The angle Su Xuan discovered it from truly impressed him—it was merely through Chen Wanqing’s eavesdropping that so much was inferred!

Honestly, the Boss was also amazed; this was what a master looked like. When Su Xuan first uttered this statement, the Boss hadn’t foreseen any of it!

"Indeed, I sealed Xia Guo’an’s vital acupoint. I originally wanted to force him to disclose the information, but he refused to speak. I couldn’t expose myself, so he had to die!"

As Chen Wanqing spoke, his expression suddenly changed, and Su Xuan sighed helplessly, watching him intently.

"Why is it necessary? Do you believe dying like this fulfills your mission as a spy?"

Su Xuan stated coldly as Chen Wanqing’s orifices began streaming blood, quickly leading to a burst of dark blood splattering as he weakly leaned against the table!

"Cough cough..."

The Boss looked at Chen Wanqing, seemingly wishing to help him, but ultimately refrained from doing so, gazing at Chen Wanqing with a heart full of pain; his love for Chen Wanqing was genuine.

"Dear Brother, my happiest moments were those spent with you. Many times, I truly wanted to abandon everything, just to be your wife, but everyone has their own constraints. I never wanted to harm you!"

Staring at the Boss, at that instant, Chen Wanqing bit into the poison hidden in his tooth root. As a spy, once exposed, his end would be grim, typically resulting in suicide; he held too many secrets, with no certainty of the opponent’s interrogation methods!

Su Xuan’s interrogation methods were what scared him—he couldn’t believe Su Xuan possessed such terrifying abilities!

Tears streamed down the Boss’s face as he slowly approached Chen Wanqing, extending a hand to gently stroke his face, and uttered softly!

"Safe travels. If there’s another life, I hope we won’t be adversaries!"

The Boss knew that Chen Wanqing choosing suicide was indeed the best decision for both of them. Now that his identity was exposed, being together was impossible.

The Boss understood well that stances aren’t easily changed!

As Chen Wanqing collapsed to the floor, the Boss trembled slightly, overwhelmed by helplessness that only he could comprehend. Su Xuan sighed helplessly too, knowing full well that if not for his interference, perhaps they might have eventually married and had children.

Su Xuan also believed firmly that one day the Boss might tread the path of treason; there’s no turning back for spies—they either die or carry on, and never truly escape!

"Su Xuan, what now?"

After a brief moment of despair, he forced himself to regain clarity, fully aware of the mission and responsibilities he bore, despite the deep wound from Chen Wanqing’s events; now wasn’t the time for personal sentiments!

"This matter’s scope might be unthinkably broad. From Xia Guo’an and his daughter Xia Mu’s correspondences, it becomes evident that Xia Mu had infiltrated a secret base in South Korea—a research facility. I’ve encountered a master before, fully human apart from the head!"

Su Xuan explained softly, feeling a connection to this case through his earlier encounter.
