"You..."

"Shoot!" The other party repeated, giving him no chance to ask: "If you don't want your wife and son to die, shoot!"

Chen Peng's pupils shrank, and he suddenly heard his son's trembling and terrified voice from the other end of the phone: "Dad."

The phone returned to that strange man's hand again: "Shoot, kill Lei Chengping! If he doesn't die, you're just waiting to rot in prison!"

"Why do you think he asked you here tonight?"

"He's going to frame you!"

"Do you know who went in afterward?"

"It was Song Guanchao from Lingjiang, Lei Chengping and the authorities are working together to take you down!"

Song Guanchao...

He remembered.

This person is indeed Song Guanchao!

He had seen him once at the Municipal Bureau.

"Kill Lei Chengping, shoot!"

"Dad!"

The cold voice of the other party and his son's fearful shout made Chen Peng's mind a mess.

The words of the other party, and Song Guanchao's identity, made him subconsciously believe what the other party said was true.

But who exactly is the other party?

Could it be Luo Yaowen?

It must be him, only he knows I brought a gun tonight!

And only he knows I'm meeting Lei Chengping tonight!

"Shoot!" The other party urged again, this shout jolting him awake instantly.

He suddenly stood up.

Under the puzzled gazes of Lei Chengping and Song Guanchao, he reached for the gun at his waist.

Their faces changed dramatically.

"Chen..."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three consecutive shots, two hitting the chest, one piercing through the forehead.

Lei Chengping's hand was still suspended in mid-air, yet his eyes quickly darkened, lifeless.

Upon hearing the gunshots, the voice from the phone said again: "Kill Song Guanchao, no one can walk away alive tonight!"

"After you take him out, come out immediately. I've prepared plane tickets for your wife and son to leave the country tonight, never to return."

Looking at the lifeless Lei Chengping, Chen Peng was already unable to think.

Once he took this step, there was no turning back.

However, just as he aimed his gun at Song Guanchao, he was shocked to see that Song Guanchao also suddenly had a gun in his hand, the dark barrel pointing at him.

How does he have a gun?

That suspicion had just surfaced.

In the next second.

"Bang!"

A bullet pierced through his forehead, halting his thoughts instantly, his body stiffened and fell backward, the question in his heart forever unanswered.

Song Guanchao's expression was grim.

He couldn't understand how things suddenly turned out like this.

What kind of phone call did Chen Peng receive?

What did the other party say?

The incident happened so suddenly, Song Guanchao didn't even have the chance to persuade, and Lei Chengping was already dead.

All he could do was strike first ruthlessly.

Looking at the gun still in Chen Peng's hand, he felt a chill in his heart.

Fortunately, he brought a gun, or else he would be dead or wounded by now.

Outside the private room, the waiters, having heard the loud commotion, gathered curiously at the door.

Guns are banned in the country, and ordinary people aren't sensitive to gunshots at all, and didn't associate the noise with gunshots.

But Liang Jianfeng and others, who had been waiting in the adjacent room, immediately recognized it as gunfire.

Bang!

They emerged from the adjacent room, holding guns, violently pushing open the door.

Their gun barrels pointing at the room, their eyes quickly swept through the room.

When they saw Lei Chengping slumped on the chair, Chen Peng lying on the ground, and Song Guanchao standing with a gun, Liang Jianfeng and his team were utterly shocked.

Liang Jianfeng said sternly: "District Chief Song, put the gun down."

He didn't expect things would turn out this way.

The worst possible outcome had come to pass.

Song Guanchao put down his gun, his face dark, and carefully narrated everything that just happened.

Listening to his account, Liang Jianfeng immediately realized that the other party invited Song Guanchao over tonight not for discussion, but to kill him!

If Song Guanchao hadn't brought a gun, the one lying on the ground would be him!

"Did he make a move right after receiving the call?"

"Yes." Song Guanchao was thinking further.

Initially, after seeing Chen Peng and hearing what Lei Chengping said, he was convinced that the undercover was Chen Peng.

But now, his suspicion had shifted back to Wen Ru.

Tonight, it was a setup against him!

Wen Ru wanted to kill with a borrowed knife!

If he hadn't guessed wrong, after Chen Peng shot that Lei guy and himself, he would have been silenced too.

And the contents of that USB stick were probably some transaction information between Chen Peng and the Lei Group.

These transaction details were definitely fake!

They were specially fabricated to solidify Chen Peng's identity as an undercover!

But Wen Ru hadn't anticipated that he would bring a gun!

Yet, even so, Chen Peng's identity as undercover was now solidified.

Liang Jianfeng methodically instructed the accompanying detectives to secure the scene, call the restaurant manager to clear the area, and ensure secrecy, forbidding the news from spreading.

Then he called for an ambulance and coordinated with the nearby police station for backup.

The ambulance was just procedural; both men were dead, but the procedure needed to be followed.

Song Guanchao was watched by two detectives.

Three people were in the room, two of which were dead. They had to take the survivor's word with skepticism yet couldn't completely distrust it either.

Song Guanchao didn't bother to think much, leaning back on the sofa, silently smoking, watching the police bustle around.

"Director Liang, what's going on here?"

A middle-aged man rushed over, utterly shocked at the sight of the two bodies on the ground.

The newcomer was Deputy Director Luo Yaowen.

He felt uneasy the moment Liang Jianfeng had called him over to Jufu Restaurant.

Jufu Restaurant...wasn't this the place where Chen Peng was supposed to meet that person tonight?

Upon arrival, he felt horrified and uneasy.

Chen Peng was dead!

The other one was Lei Chengping from the Lei Group!

What on earth happened tonight?

How did it come to this?

Before long, several other deputy directors, as well as Wen Ru, also arrived.

As soon as Wen Ru arrived, Song Guanchao fixed his gaze on her.

Her expression was identical to that of the other deputy directors, giving nothing away.

If it hadn't been for his probing, being sure that she was the undercover, Song Guanchao would have been fooled by her.

Liang Jianfeng explained the situation roughly to the deputy directors.

One of the deputies glanced at Song Guanchao and asked, "Mr. Liang, where did his gun come from?"

"I gave it to him," Liang Jianfeng replied. "Tonight's operation was sanctioned by me as well."

Chen Peng, suppressing his panic, asked, "What operation?"

Liang Jianfeng slowly scanned the group and said, "An operation to capture an undercover."

"Undercover?" The deputies were extremely puzzled.

Liang Jianfeng said, "The Municipal Bureau has an undercover operative. Based on the information and evidence we have, Chen Peng was the one planted by the criminal organization inside the bureau."

"What?"

The deputy directors were utterly shocked.

The most shocked was Luo Yaowen.

He couldn't understand; how did Chen Peng become an undercover agent?

How come I didn't know about this?
