Quick Wear: The Beautiful, Strong and Tragic Path of a Swordsman

Xu Yan stood in front of the small courtyard where he had met Taohua. Soldiers in tan uniforms surrounded the place.

This was the arrest warrant he received on the first day he was discharged from the hospital.

He forced a stiff expression, trying his best not to reveal any flaws, but his cold hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably.

Taohua was escorted in front of him. The round-frame glasses she always wore were gone. The corner of her mouth was broken and her cheek was bruised.

He was looking at him with hatred and resentment at the moment, grinning through gnashing teeth, "I didn't expect to fall into the hands of a traitor like you. I am so unlucky!"

The newly appointed adjutant immediately became furious upon hearing this, and slapped Taohua in the face, causing the corner of his mouth to bleed again.

"You unlucky fellow, you actually dare to be disrespectful to your superior!" The adjutant was a mentally ill person from Yingfu. Whenever he got the chance, he wanted to flatter Xu Yan, which was disgusting.

Xu Yan gave the adjutant a cold look, and he immediately stepped back obediently. Then Xu Yan took a step forward and looked Taohua in the eye, "Cui Guochang, right? Codename Taohua?"

Taohua snorted coldly, raised her head and spat in Xu Yan's face, refusing to answer.

Xu Yan closed his eyes and stepped back. The adjutant immediately handed him a clean handkerchief, then stepped forward and kicked Tao Hua in the abdomen, causing her to bend over, his mouth full of foul language.

After stopping the adjutant again, Xu Yan waved his hand with a cold face and asked the soldiers to take the man away. He then followed his adjutant into the house in the yard like a dog-skin plaster.

The house was filled with the smell of burning paper. A few clumps of charred ashes rolled to Xu Yan's feet with the wind blowing in from the window. He lowered his eyes to take a look, feeling neither sad nor happy.

However, Tang Ze, who was still in the God's perspective, knew Xu Yan's feelings, as he had also encountered such a situation.

All the confidential documents that could prove my identity were destroyed. The feeling of being rootless cannot be simply described as uneasy.

At least he successfully re-verified his identity and returned to the embrace of the Dragon Mansion, but Xu Yan seemed to have truly become the character he played, Maeda Mizuki. No one could prove that all the contributions made by "Haitang" belonged to him, and no one could know that "Haitang"'s real name was Xu Yan.

It was so helpless at that time. Many confidential documents would only be available in one copy, especially the information of comrades like Xu Yan who were entrusted with special missions. Even if only one copy was kept, they would bear huge risks.

There are even some people who don't even leave any information, and rely entirely on their superiors to remember their names and appearances.

This is also the reason why many of our ancestors who hid in darkness are unknown and unremembered, but instead bear the infamy and guilt after the victory.

Didn't they think before that they might face such an outcome?

Of course they had thought about it, and even made all kinds of worst-case plans long ago, and then they resolutely rushed to the secret battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder.

When Xu Yan brought Taohua back to the agency, Shandao was standing at the door waiting for him with a smile on his face. His look perfectly portrayed the image of a smug villain.

"I thought I would receive news that you failed to arrest someone." He said with a sarcastic smile.

Xu Yan glanced at him, handed the man over to the person in charge of the interrogation, and was about to leave.

"Hey, don't go." Shandao smiled and held Xu Yan's shoulder. "You caught this guy, why don't you come and interrogate him with me?"

When Xu Yan was specially arranged to catch peach blossoms, he knew that he had once again become a key suspect and had anticipated this incident.

So he calmly and indifferently rejected Shandao's proposal as always. Even his answer was exactly the same as the previous times Shandao invited him, "Not interested."

Shandao was left watching his back with a suspicious look on his face as he disappeared into the office building.

Tang Ze now entered the role-playing mode again, and he became one of the soldiers escorting Taohua.

"Take him to the interrogation room." Shandao gave the order with a dissatisfied click of the tongue.

"Yes."

He didn't know how long it had been since he last saw the boy being interrogated here from a third-person perspective. When he saw the boy again, he was almost no longer in human form.

Taohua also showed some reluctance after seeing the boy's appearance. Finally, she sighed and lowered her head as if she had accepted her fate.

Afterwards, Tang Ze witnessed a cruel and complete torture process, and also witnessed a soul that remained tenacious and wise under cruel punishment.

Tang Ze once thought that the young man had completely betrayed him, but who would have thought that he would actually cooperate with Tao Hua to perform a superb drama, completely removing Xu Yan and even reducing Shan Dao's suspicion of Xu Yan to a certain extent.

"Why don't you just listen to what I say! That man named Xu Yan is Maeda Mizuki! The traitor who massacred our entire team and the civilians on the entire train!" The young man seemed to be trapped in extreme hatred, and his broken and weak body roared as if it was having a last breath.

Taohua was stunned. Tang Ze of course knew that he was unable to react because of the boy's sudden acting, but Shandao thought that the two of them had not colluded well. As a result, Taohua failed to react to the boy's frame-up and failed to cooperate.

In fact, Taohua was really stunned by the true feelings. At the same time, the bitterness and sadness in his heart surged up, dyeing his eyes red. The sadness in his tone was also sincere, "I thought you had completely betrayed me, and thought you were just randomly biting good people. I didn't expect Xu Yan to be Maeda Mizuki..."

Shandao carefully observed the expressions of the two men and found that all their emotions came from the bottom of their hearts. The young man even had a hideous face. He struggled wildly with his twisted limbs and shouted out his hatred and unwillingness, as if he had gone completely crazy.

He rubbed his temple, waved to Tang Ze and another soldier, then pointed at the boy, "Take him away and deal with him. He is useless."

"Yes..." Tang Ze answered in a hoarse voice.

......

This time the plot line is particularly long, so long that Tang Ze even sensed a hint of impatience in the weird game system. It seemed like it wanted to complete the process quickly and get what he wanted as soon as possible.
