Entering the nineties, the demand for high technology grew even higher, and he became increasingly busy. The investigation had reached a critical moment. At this time, Chang Qing had only stayed by Gu Qiaoqiao’s side for eight months before leaving, escorted by his team members to a place even he did not know. Fortunately, Qiaoqiao had Fong Lei by her side, and since he was promoted, the nature of his work changed a lot, so he was no longer the captain of Special Task Force One, giving him more time for investigation. At this time, he had more time available. Therefore, the investigation progressed much faster than before. Unfortunately, after six months, due to major changes at some bases, he became busy again, although Chu Chengfeng continued to assist with the investigation. This major change was like adding wings to a tiger for their team, with various internal adjustments, increasing their overall combat strength significantly compared to before. Then, in the summer of that year, Special Operations intercepted an encrypted piece of intelligence sent from the Imperial Capital abroad, and after decoding it, Lin Qinghuan was arrested. She had betrayed her country. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net The organization behind her was very mysterious, with massive influence, deeply rooted, clearly not formed in recent years, likely existing since the early founding of the nation. Therefore, the higher-ups took this very seriously. A special task force was established to specifically handle Lin Qinghuan’s case, detaining her in a secret location for interrogation. Lin Qinghuan was evidently trained in this area, consistently resisting. However, she eventually confessed one thing: she was the mastermind behind the human trafficking gang that abducted Gu Qiaoqiao. Once Gu Qiaoqiao’s issue was exposed, the gang was struck, and their main figures fled; those captured were merely mid-level managers. Due to single-line contact during usual communications, even capturing these mid-level managers revealed nothing about the mastermind behind them, which is why she remained hidden for so many years. Then, information about An Xiaotong was revealed. This was related to the Lijing Ho Hotel, the former chairman’s daughter, the girl Du Tian quietly liked. She hadn’t run off pregnant as everyone said to a place no one could find. She was sold by the current Lijing Ho chairman An Xiaolan for money, just like Gu Qiaoqiao, with the difference being that no one came to rescue An Xiaotong. Therefore, she vanished without a trace. Her fate was unknown. The car accident involving Chairman An, his wife, and son was also orchestrated by An Xiaolan, who paid the organization, not an accident. An Xiaolan was arrested. She confessed to everything Lin Qinghuan had disclosed, admitting to committing these acts. However, there were still many doubts in the case, but as the interrogation deepened, An Xiaolan finally confessed to a shocking secret. He vividly remembered that day started with clear skies, but after he and Chu Chengfeng set out, clouds suddenly gathered, and when they arrived at An Family Villa, a downpour suddenly began. Then, in the back garden of An Family Villa, they uncovered a corpse. The body was decomposed, but from the remaining clothing and the body’s build, they instantly recognized it as Du Tian. Du Tian did not go abroad; he died the year An Xiaotong disappeared, in the back garden of An Family Villa. Du Tian was personally killed by An Xiaolan.
