[GB] Boss Ruan, your husband doesn't want you anymore.

Ruan Qian'an leaned quietly against the wall, separated from Huo Jingmo by only one wall.

Ruan Qian'an's figure was indescribably desolate, and her expression revealed a sense of sorrow.

With a click, the small space created by the lighter photo in the dimly lit corridor was illuminated even more, making Ruan Qian'an's plump face appear even more radiant, yet her skin seemed to be peeling off, revealing a hint of eeriness.

Looking at the flickering flames, Ruan Qian'an felt as if her heart was being burned, aching with pain.

The flickering firelight illuminated her face, making her appear even more mysterious and enigmatic.

She stared intently at the flames, and no one knew what she was thinking at that moment.

Looking at Ruan Qian'an's desolate figure, as if a gust of wind could blow her away, Chi Xiao couldn't help but advise, "Is there really no other way? Isn't this too cruel to both you and Huo Jingmo?"

Ruan Qian'an shifted her gaze from the flames to Chi Xiao: "This is the best way. If you want someone to completely depend on you, you have to remove all their claws and fangs."

"Not even close."

Upon hearing Ruan Qian'an's words, Chi Xiao felt a chill in his heart. He knew his boss was crazy, but he never imagined he would be this crazy.

Knowing part of the plan, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Ruan Qian'an said slowly, "Just a little bit more and I can give Huo Jingmo a brilliant result."

Although Ruan Qian'an spoke with a smile, Chi Xiao could only sense a chilling coldness in the scene.

Looking at the madness in Ruan Qian'an's eyes, Chi Xiao couldn't help but turn his head to the side and change the subject, saying to Ruan Qian'an, "Boss, Chen Zhang said she went to Houhai."

Ruan Qian'an turned her head, put away the lighter, and snorted softly, "Truly lawless."

Although he said it this way, his tone was not particularly accusatory.

Chi Xiao was somewhat moved by Ruan Qian'an's indulgence towards Chen Zhang, who could come and go as she pleased, and the boss hadn't punished her at all.

Ruan Qian'an walked outside with a smile on her face, the skin on her neck slightly raised, revealing the red and twisted true face underneath.

As she walked, she spoke as if to herself or to herself, saying, "There are some accounts that need to be settled properly."

Chi Xiao followed Ruan Qian'an out and closed the basement door, letting in no light.

Huo Jingmo sat dejectedly on the bed. After Chi Xiao and the others left, the place where Huo Jingmo was was quiet and still.

He looked up and surveyed his surroundings. There was only a bed in the room, and the walls around him were bare.

Even the dagger and cell phone that she had previously stolen were taken away, and Ruan Qian'an didn't give him any chance to struggle.

What Huo Jingmo didn't know was that the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs had already become alert before he even arrived.

...

A person wearing a hoodie and a mask hurriedly ran into a small alley and pushed a trash can aside, revealing a manhole cover.

The man pulled open the manhole cover and climbed down the steps. He groped around in the pipe for a while.

He opened an iron gate and crawled inside. Then he opened a manhole cover inside, climbed down, and ran along the passageway until he reached a technologically advanced door.

He hurriedly pressed his fingerprint and entered the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

He ran hurriedly, dressed in civilian clothes, which were quite different from the work clothes worn by most people in the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

If he hadn't been holding up the small metal piece to prove his identity, he would have been arrested long ago.

The man went straight to the room where the field operations department was located, and pushed the door open without even knocking, which showed just how anxious he was.

The woman sitting on the sofa looked at the impetuous man with displeasure and asked, "What are you doing in such a panic, Mr. Jia? What important thing has happened?"

Jia took a breath, swallowed hard, and said to the woman on the sofa, "Minister, Huo Jingmo failed to arrive on time. I wonder if something unexpected happened?"

The woman sitting on the sofa was the head of the field operations department. Upon hearing this, she suddenly stood up from the sofa: "What?!"

"Didn't Huo Jingmo already reply that he wanted to meet? He didn't even show up. What is the Intelligence Analysis Department doing?!"

After saying that, the head of the field operations department opened the door and walked out, not taking the elevator but going directly up the stairs to the second basement level.

She rushed to the head of the intelligence department's office and slammed the door open: "Old dog Li, you've been lying to me!"

The head of the intelligence department, who was drinking tea, was startled by the noise and spilled tea all over himself.

Looking at the energetic woman, he said, "Little Xu, when have I ever lied to you?"

The head of the field operations department crossed his arms and said, "Then why didn't Huo Jingmo come to the appointment? Could it be that your intelligence was wrong?"

She said sarcastically, "Aren't you getting too comfortable in your position as head of intelligence?"

The head of the intelligence department paused in his tea-drinking, looking at the head of the field operations department in alarm.

Suddenly, they both realized something was wrong.

The intelligence chief didn't linger for a moment and immediately got up and walked outside. The head of the field operations department followed behind him.

They went together to the intelligence analysis room, where the head of intelligence pressed his fingerprint on the screen, and the screen, glowing blue, lit up.

On this large screen, a red dot kept flashing and shrinking, and suddenly countless red dots flashed and shrank on this large screen.

The intelligence chief, who had been relaxed, suddenly became tense and began to manipulate the keyboard.

Looking at the countless flashing red dots: "Damn it, the tracker on Huo Jingmo can't track him anymore, there's no way to pinpoint who it is."

He manipulated the keyboard, constantly narrowing down the area where Huo Jingmo was located. The map zoomed in, and the number of locked red dots gradually decreased. Just when he thought he was about to find him, he realized he was about to find him.

The alarm in the intelligence analysis section's monitoring room went off, and in an instant, the intelligence section was completely hacked.

Intelligence Minister: "What the hell is going on?"

The head of the intelligence department was sweating profusely, and his hands were almost blurry as he barely managed to stop the enemy's intrusion attack.

The intelligence chief wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "We almost exposed the location of the Bureau of Evil."

The head of the field operations department frowned deeply as he looked at everything: "Is it really resolved? The database wasn't attacked, was it?"

The head of intelligence slumped in his seat and said, "Are you kidding me? Don't you think I'd notice if we were attacked?"

He sighed and said, "But one thing is for sure, we've really been discovered. Be prepared, that guy isn't easy to deal with."

The head of the field operations department asked curiously, "Old Li, who exactly is that person you've been with at the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs for so long?"

The head of the intelligence department glanced at the head of the field operations department and said earnestly, "You haven't been in charge of the field operations department for long, so it's normal to be curious, but this is classified information and I can't say more."

"All you need to know is that this person is the only S-class dangerous individual."

Field Operations Department Head: "S-level?...

She said with a hint of shock, "I always thought that S-class people, who could wipe out a city with a flick of their wrist, only existed in legends."

The head of the intelligence department locked the keyboard with a security lock: "Why do you think the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs is treating Huo Jingmo so nervously? Right now, Huo Jingmo is the only breakthrough point."

The head of the intelligence department stood up: "The director will have to make the decision on this matter. Let's go together."

The intelligence chief chuckled: "Although we're on the same level, you didn't go directly to the director when something happened. In the end, I should thank you, Xiao Xu."

The head of the field operations department smiled and said, "It's already the greatest thanks I can receive from Mr. Li for telling me this."

Her field operations department will be facing this terrifying S-class enemy directly in the future, so knowing a little bit of information is much better than being like a headless fly.

The head of the field operations department said, "I really want to meet this person and see if he is as capable as you say."

The head of the intelligence department stroked his chin and said, "Nonsense."

He pondered for a moment and said, "The power behind her is even more astonishing. Here's a piece of advice: if you encounter her, be extremely careful and don't be careless."

The two arrived at the third basement level, and the head of the intelligence department knocked on the door.

Upon hearing the word "Come in," the two pushed open the door and entered.

The young man sat at the desk, wearing glasses and looking very refined.

He was surrounded by piles of documents of all sizes, and he was dealing with different matters in various areas.

Seeing the two of them enter, he looked up at them with surprise and asked, "Did something happen that you two came together?"

After asking that question, the man lowered his head again and continued with his work.

The intelligence chief said to the man, "Chief, Huo Jingmo didn't show up on time. We suspect he might have been locked up by that person."

The bureau chief looked up from the towering pile of documents at them, then slammed his hand on the table and stood up, saying, "Then what are you all dawdling about?!"

"Send people to find him immediately, by any means necessary. We need him, understand?!"

The two ministers exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Yes!"

A commotion broke out on the third floor of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, as all the elite teams were assembled to find Huo Jingmo—or, more accurately, to snatch Huo Jingmo from that person's hands.

This was an exceptionally challenging task, and the head of the field operations department decided to take charge personally.
