Late at night, at the Capital Military District, inside the Shadow Sword's office building.

Qin Ge sat in his office. By this time, all the staff in Shadow Sword had already left, but he alone had not yet gone.

He was now waiting for Wang Zhenjiang to report the results of tonight's mission to him.

After the mission plan was devised, Wang Zhenjiang had immediately informed Qin Ge of the task's outline, so Qin Ge was now waiting for the results.

After all, this mission would determine where the Jiang Family's attention would fall in the future, and it would also decide the future direction of Shadow Sword's actions.

That's why Qin Ge sat waiting quietly until now.

At this moment, Qin Ge's eyes were slightly closed, his breathing even, giving the impression that he was resting with his eyes closed.

However, if observed carefully, one could tell from his continually moving fingers that Qin Ge was actually very anxious inside, clearly very concerned about the outcome of this mission.

Time ticked by, and Qin Ge's large office was extremely quiet, the sound of the clock ticking clearly audible.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the sound of a phone vibrating abruptly rang out, the sound extraordinarily clear in the silent office!

The moment he heard the phone vibrate, Qin Ge's eyes snapped open. He reached for his phone, glanced at the screen, and found that it was Wang Zhenjiang calling.

Seeing this, Qin Ge did not hesitate in the slightest, directly pressing the call button, putting the phone to his ear, and said in a deep voice, "How did it go?"

Qin Ge wasted no words, cutting straight to the chase, appearing extremely straightforward, obviously very eager for the result.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenjiang paused slightly before saying, "The mission..."

His words, halfway through, were slow and hesitant, his tone indicating he had more to say but was holding back.

"Zhenjiang, answer my question."

Hearing Wang Zhenjiang's hesitant tone, Qin Ge's voice deepened as he said, "How did it go!?"

In these words, there was a hint of questioning in Qin Ge's voice.

"Group Leader Qin, this mission..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenjiang swallowed, then said, "Failed!"

Hesitating for a long time, Wang Zhenjiang finally gritted his teeth and revealed the true progress of the mission.

Buzz!

With these words, a sharp gleam instantly flashed in Qin Ge's eyes. Holding the phone, he said, "What happened? How did the mission fail? Explain it to me clearly!"

Before Wang Zhenjiang set out, Qin Ge repeatedly urged him to be careful. Now, hearing the news of failure made Qin Ge exceedingly furious!

"We... shot Ye Qing..."

After hearing Qin Ge's inquiry, Wang Zhenjiang began to explain, detailing the entire event to Qin Ge, including how Lu Yu was forcefully controlled by Ye Qing into a dangerous situation.

"Wang Zhenjiang!"

Upon hearing Wang Zhenjiang's words, Qin Ge said, "What did I say to you before you left!?"

In his words, Qin Ge was incredibly furious, inquiring aloud as his voice echoed through the office.

"You... you said Lu Yu must be made to kill Ye Qing to draw the Jiang Family's attention to him..."

Wang Zhenjiang's voice came through the phone intermittently, filled with a sense of resignation.

"Since you knew that, why did you order someone to shoot Ye Qing? Are you brainless?!"

Qin Ge had now completely lost control, his expression in the silent, late-night office turning exceedingly grim, displaying none of his usual inscrutable demeanor, just sheer anger.

The alliance with Lu Yu was precisely to deal with the Jiang Family, and Qin Ge had clearly told Lu Yu that Shadow Sword would work in the shadows, while Lu Yu operated in the open.

Yet now, by ordering the shooting of Ye Qing, Wang Zhenjiang had completely flipped things!

The current situation was that Qin Ge's Shadow Sword Organization stood in the open while Lu Yu hid in the shadows, overturning the prior arrangement between Lu Yu and Qin Ge!

Jiang Tianyi, as an Admiral, possessed significant influence and power.

By ordering the assassination of Ye Qing, Wang Zhenjiang would undoubtedly draw the Jiang Family's attention to Shadow Sword, so whenever Lu Yu made a move, the Jiang Family's first thought would not be of anyone else but Shadow Sword!

Thus, Shadow Sword became Lu Yu's scapegoat for no reason, an act that left Qin Ge fuming!

"But Lu Yu's situation at the time did not look good, if we hadn't intervened, Ye Qing's Triangular Military Dagger would have certainly pierced his chest. Besides, the Assassin Alliance would be even more troublesome."

At Qin Ge's words, Wang Zhenjiang spoke up in a low voice to defend himself.

"What about Ye Qing's body?"

With Wang Zhenjiang's statement, Qin Ge now had no wish to continue the debate, asking impatiently, "Get Ye Qing's body to the Ministry of State Security, have a forensic expert examine it closely, and look over the details on Ye Qing's body!"

Qin Ge was a cunning old fox. If Ye Qing could render Lu Yu helpless without showing himself, Qin Ge could believe that.

Yet to consider that Ye Qing could defeat Lu Yu in direct confrontation was something Qin Ge could never believe!

Thus, Qin Ge intended to examine Ye Qing's body for any leads.

"Group Leader Qin"

Hearing Qin Ge's words, Wang Zhenjiang's voice grew more subdued, with a hint of hesitation: "Ye Qing's body was charred by the fire caused by the explosion..."

"What did you say!?"

Hearing this, Qin Ge's eyes widened in anger, his expression becoming even more furious: "Say that one more time?!"

"While fighting against Lu Yu, Ye Qing had pre-placed a lot of high-explosive plastic C4 in the nearby forest. When Ye Qing died, he pressed the detonator, igniting all the plastic C4 to cause an explosion, and the resulting fire charred Ye Qing's body..."

At this moment, Wang Zhenjiang spoke up in a low, detailed voice.

"You..."

Hearing Wang Zhenjiang's report, at this moment, Qin Ge suddenly felt an urge to vomit blood.

Now, staring at the phone in his hand, his facial muscles twitched violently, leaving him momentarily at a loss for words!
