Tang Yan thought that Qin Ran would lose control. After all, Qin Ran’s expression was too terrifying. Her eyes were filled with hatred and pain.
However, to Tang Yan’s surprise, Qin Ran didn’t lose all her rationality. She took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice, “The ‘Wolf Pack’ are related to Phantom. This time, the vicious incident of the sexual communists taking revenge on society was an operation by Phantom. They revealed their tails. This is our chance to catch them.”
Tang Yan was shocked by Qin Ran’s calm and powerful mental fortitude. He nodded solemnly. “That’s right, but this operation will also be very dangerous. It’s more dangerous than any operation you’ve carried out before.”
Qin Ran looked at the empty air with empty eyes. Her voice was hoarse and firm. “Even if I die, I will avenge my parents.”
Tang Yan looked at Qin Ran sternly. “You already have your own life now. I don’t want you to risk your life. I’m not telling you this so that you can hit a rock with an egg.”
Qin Ran frowned. “I’m not that stupid. I won’t let myself make unnecessary sacrifices. Moreover, Phantom kidnapped our country’s scientists and even stole the research results of our country’s cutting-edge biomedical field. Isn’t the National Security Bureau involved in this?”
Tang Yan shook his head. “That’s the trouble. I investigated these clues privately. Let’s not talk about whether the higher-ups will admit it after I report it to them. I even suspect that outsiders have already infiltrated the National Security Bureau, but I don’t know if the mole is related to Phantom.”
Things were far worse than she had imagined. Qin Ran also shivered. “Could it be that they noticed you investigating Phantom and wanted to mess with you? So they arranged for Zhuang Peng to squeeze you away?” If Phantom’s hand could even reach into the National Security Bureau, that would be too scary.
Tang Yan frowned. “I’m not sure yet. I don’t know if it’s an internal strife among the upper echelons or if Phantom has secretly tampered with it. However, I definitely can’t leave the Special Agent Agency for the time being. I can only continue to investigate these things if I stay.”
Today, Qin Ran suddenly received so much complicated information. Her mind was still finding it difficult to accept. She pursed her lips. “Then what should we do? Then can’t the National Security Bureau take action? Are we going to let Phantom continue to be impudent? Even if I can investigate recent events, my strength is far from enough! What do you think we should do, fuck!”
Qin Ran was so angry that her chest hurt. She had never felt so helpless. She couldn’t take revenge for her adoptive parents, and the upper-level organizations couldn’t be completely trusted. The country was even facing a crisis.
If Phantom was allowed to continue, more researchers like her adoptive parents would be hurt. The results of the research that their country had spent a lot of money and manpower on would also be at risk of being stolen. Was the country’s honor and security going to be challenged by a vicious organization just like that?!
“Calm down. I’m also thinking of a way.” Tang Yan lit another cigarette anxiously. His fingers were trembling as he held the cigarette. His eyes, which were always calm and composed, were filled with red blood vessels, making him look a little miserable and defeated.
“I’m sorry. I was too emotional.” Qin Ran took a deep breath and clenched her fists. “The most important people around me left me one by one. My parents and Qiqi. I haven’t been in a good state recently.”
Qin Ran’s lips trembled. She felt like there was a hole in her heart. The cold wind poured in. Her body trembled as she reached out to Tang Yan for a cigarette. “Give me one. Thank you.”
Tang Yan was about to say that it was not good for girls to smoke, but when he saw that Qin Ran was about to collapse, he didn’t say anything and silently gave Qin Ran a cigarette.
The smell of cigarettes filled the air, and the atmosphere was as low as the sea before a storm.
“There’s another way,” Tang Yan said hoarsely. “It’s also the only way.”
Qin Ran looked up at him.
“The Military Intelligence Bureau is different from our National Security Bureau. They are more closed-off and the relationship between their superiors and subordinates is more authoritarian. There is almost no possibility of being infiltrated by external forces. If they are willing to help, things will turn around.”
After Tang Yan finished analyzing calmly, he smiled bitterly. “How laughable. I actually want to ask my arch-enemy for help.”
