"Thank you."

He said.

"You're welcome."

she replied.

The atmosphere between the two was eerily calm, just like a gathering of old friends.

The man drank the water to drown his choking sensation, with dancing flames flickering in his eyes, and he spoke slowly.

"How did you find this?"

He thought the police wouldn't be able to track him down so quickly.

"The one who made the pancake for you is one of ours. Is it delicious?"

Qi Yan was considerate enough to fill his cup with hot water.

"..."

The man stared at the boiling hot water in the glass for a long time, then laughed out loud, "No wonder it tastes so bad. I wonder who gave him the confidence to open a stall."

If he wasn't so afraid of being recognized, he wouldn't have forced himself to eat such disgusting stuffed pancakes every day.

Qi Yan also laughed: "It seems that he needs to practice more."

At this moment, the undercover agent who was squatting under a stall on the street corner and took out a walkie-talkie sneezed loudly.

The winter in the imperial capital is really not a place for human beings to stay.

He sniffed and thought.

"You need to practice more, otherwise it will be bad if you are recognized next time."

The man took a sip of the hot water.

"I'll pass it on for you."

Qi Yan nodded in response.

Then, there was deathly silence again.

The man raised his always vicious eyes, the red blood vessels in the whites of his eyes increased, and his eyeballs were abnormally red.

"Ms. Qi, how many years do you think I will be sentenced to?"

"Um……"

Qi Yan really started to think about it seriously. She stretched out her fingers and counted, then finally put her five fingers together, returning to zero.

"death penalty."

Those two light words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, suffocating him.

His hand slowly touched his waist, "I am already a death row prisoner, aren't you afraid that you will also die here, Miss Qi?"

"You also have a son studying in Country B, right?"

Qi Yan said slowly.

"...?!"

The man stood up suddenly, pointing the gun at Qi Yan who was picking up briquettes of coal. His hands were shaking slightly, and the cruelty in his eyes was almost turning into reality.

"I'm warning you! Come at me if you have anything to do with him, don't touch him!"

Qi Yan tilted his head and looked at him.

"Don't be nervous. I'm here just for you. I just heard that your son is studying in Country B."

As she spoke, she took out the photo album on her phone and showed him a photo.

"Look, is this your son?"

The man's pupils dilated and his sight trembled as he focused on the screen.

In the picture, a young man is smiling brightly at the camera while relaxing in a villa. It is obvious that the photo was taken by someone familiar and trusted.

His finger on the trigger tightened, his eyes covered with venom, and he squeezed out the words from behind his teeth.

"You, the police, are now even resorting to such threatening tactics?"

"You're right. The police won't use this method."

She turned off the screen, her clear eyes illuminated by the flames without any emotion, she just spoke softly.

“But I’m not the police.”

Naturally, you don't have to follow their rules.

The man confronted her with a gun.

Qi Yan had no awareness at all that he was being pointed at by a gun, and was enthusiastically adding charcoal to the stove.

A strange feeling of powerlessness eroded his nerves. He slowly put down the gun, sat back on the stool, and said with his head down.

"Ms. Qi, I lost. I admit it. You can do whatever you want to me. I beg you not to touch my son. He knows nothing..."

"is it?"

Qi Yan didn't say whether she believed it or not. She shook the phone with her fingertips, and the body of the phone turned back and forth in her hand.

"thump--"

Suddenly, a sharp collision sound was heard.

The man knelt straight down, rubbed his knees forward two steps, and his voice trembled.

"Ms. Qi... He really doesn't know. He doesn't know that his father is a beast and a scumbag... I beg you, please let him go. I will do anything for you..."

He supported himself on the ground with his hands and fell straight down, with one 'bang bang bang' sound after another.

He is now just a spent force. Almost all his men have been killed by the people in front of him and the police, and his several lines in Southeast Asia have been almost cleared out.

The people above can hardly protect themselves now, let alone take the risk of protecting him.

The only relative who had been hiding well was also exposed by the person in front of him. It was impossible for him not to hate him, but he was more afraid.

This woman is not an official. She does things without any rules. Even if she wants someone to die, it is just a matter of words.

Under absolute oppression, he could only discard his most useless dignity and beg and plead.

He climbed up from the bottom by stepping on others and being stepped on. Dignity means nothing to him.

Qi Yan looked at the wanted criminal whose head was swollen and bleeding from the knock.

He is a good father. He sent his children abroad to be in a good environment and receive the best educational resources.

Similarly, he has destroyed countless families, and every bit of his love is mixed with other people's blood.

Qi Yan brushed the dust off his hands.

"Okay, get up. I didn't say I was going to do anything to your son. Don't think so badly of me."

"..."

The man stopped moving and stared at her with a hint of fear in his eyes.

He never told anyone that he had a child, but she was able to find out. This shows how powerful he is.

He remained kneeling and didn't dare to move.

Qi Yan raised his eyelids, "What? Do you still need me to help you?"

"No no no."

He got up from the ground.

"sit."

Qi Yan glanced at the stool.

"Okay," the man sat down quickly and looked at her carefully, "What does Miss Qi want me to do?"

She couldn't be waiting for him just because she was bored. She must have something she wanted to know.

as predicted.

Qi Yan turned to look at him. His face was almost exactly the same as the masked man, except that his was original and more natural.

"Did you cause the car accident that happened to Shen's parents?"

"..."

The man's pupils narrowed and he soon spoke.

"That incident was just an accident. We asked them to bring something to redeem him. We didn't have to do this halfway. Even if it wasn't an accident, it wasn't us who did it."

"Really?"

Qi Yan looked straight into his red eyes.

"It's true."

The man said.

'Snapped. '

Qi Yan put the phone on the table, his meaning was obvious.

The man gasped, clasped his hands together, and bowed to her.

"Miss Qi, I dare not lie to you. It really has nothing to do with us. If it is not an accident, then it is the Shen family who caused the trouble. The couple are not easy to deal with..."

His next words were choked when they met Qi Yan's cold eyes.

Qi Yan became interested and tapped the screen with his fingertips.

"Tell me, why isn't it a fuel-efficient lamp?"

"..." The man's eyes fell on her phone.

Qi Yan understood, "Don't worry, I won't vent my anger on you."

The man finally let out the breath that was stuck in his heart.

"The contents of that tape clearly have nothing to do with the Shen family, but they insisted on interfering. I don't know how many people hate the Shen family. If not..."

He glanced at Qi Yan and said, "If it weren't for Madam Shen and the Qi family, the Shen family would not be able to hold the position of the richest family in the imperial capital."

"Do you know where they got the tapes?"

Qi Yan glanced away.

The man hissed, "I heard, I heard...it was kept for a friend."
