Chapter 517: The Grand Scheme Has Become a Joke!

The arrest operation seemed smooth, but it was actually fraught with hidden dangers!

"We found firearms on them. Although these guns were bought on the black market and are homemade, their accuracy is average, but their power is immense and their lethality is very high. Fortunately, we caught them off guard. Otherwise, if the other side had fought back, it would definitely have been a fierce battle," Wan Ming remarked to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye had actually guessed this long ago.

Xu Zongchao was extremely cunning; he would certainly find a way to arm himself.

"What about his accomplices?"

"The five accomplices waiting in the car have already been brought under control."

Given Xu Zongchao's special status, a joint investigation was launched involving the Provincial Public Security Department, the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the Special Police Department.

Over the course of seven days, meticulous preparations were made.

Xu Zongchao looked at Tang Ye, fury surging in his eyes.

He then turned to Xiao Zi'an, his expression full of resentment!

Xiao Zi'an really was a damn pig of a teammate!

If it weren't for his solemn assurances that the situation in Hanzhou was under control, how could he have snuck back into the country?

Xiao Zi'an remained utterly bewildered: where exactly had the slip-up occurred?

Xiao Zi'an couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you being investigated by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection? How did you get away?"

Tang Ye said in a calm tone, "You arranged for people to report me to the Discipline Inspection Commission, but those materials simply couldn't hold up."

Xiao Zi'an's eyes were filled with shock and anger: "You deliberately used a ruse? Creating the illusion of being taken away?"

"If I didn't do that, how could I make Xu Zongchao lower his guard and return to the country for the Black Pottery Figurine?"

Xu Zongchao realized that he had been in constant phone contact with Sheng Hongbing, but they had never met.

"Sheng Hongbing was already under your control?"

Tang Ye nodded, "Yes, he has been eating prison food for several days now."

Xiao Zi'an felt as if his brain had been bombed.

"Han Guangyao was also acting?"

"That's right!"

Xiao Zi'an found it hard to believe this fact for a moment.

He had been self-righteous, setting up a grand scheme!

In the end, it had become a joke!

He had spun a cocoon around himself!

"No! Han Guangyao couldn't have turned. He wouldn't give up his son's future."

"You underestimated Secretary Han's determination and character. From beginning to end, he never thought about compromising with you," Tang Ye said.

Xiao Zi'an glared with wide eyes: "Don't be too smug. If I'm finished, I'll drag him down with me! I have dirt on Han Haoyang."

Tang Ye sneered, "Han Haoyang was drawn in by your schemes; he himself has no history of illegal or undisciplined behavior."

Xiao Zi'an said angrily: "Those companies registered under his name have numerous problems; he can't hope to stay out of it!"

Tang Ye took a deep breath: "What if someone can prove that the illegal act of privately raising funds for the companies was entirely directed by you in secret, and that he was merely a pawn deceived and used by you?"

These words struck Xiao Zi'an like a thunderbolt.

Xiao Zi'an realized, could there be a traitor by his side?

It was time!

To unravel all the mysteries!

Tang Ye nodded toward Feng Kun, "You've worked hard during this recent period!"

Xiao Zi'an went completely numb!

Only then did he realize!

Feng Kun was an undercover agent, a traitor lurking by his side!

"Why did you betray me? You ungrateful old dog! Don't you want Feng Lin to suffer less inside?"

"There's no need to talk about loyalty with scum like you!"

Feng Kun stepped forward and slapped Xiao Zi'an hard across the face!

"You've done every evil thing imaginable; Feng Lin was encouraged by you step by step until he embarked on a path of no return. When I submitted my resignation to the organization, I had already made up my mind to make you pay the price."

Xiao Zi'an's cheeks burned with stinging pain, his eyes bloodshot.

He was utterly devastated inside!

He had calculated everything, but he never expected to be deceived by Feng Kun.

In his view, Feng Kun's son being arrested had everything to do with Tang Ye, so Feng Kun should have wanted Tang Ye to be ruined more than anyone else.

But he never imagined that Feng Kun had long since secretly joined forces with Tang Ye.

Feng Kun had been lurking by his side for over half a year.

At first, Xiao Zi'an still had his guard up against Feng Kun, but he had to admit that Feng Kun's acting was superb.

Not only was he submissive to him, but he also handled all kinds of dirty work meticulously.

Precisely because of this, Xiao Zi'an let Feng Kun participate in many shady dealings.

Which meant.

Every move Xiao Zi'an made was under Tang Ye's control.

As for Feng Kun, he held too many secrets!

Xiao Zi'an realized that he had underestimated Tang Ye's cunning and forbearance.

The depth of his schemes and the density of his planning made one's spine go cold.

At this moment, Xiao Zi'an felt some regret; perhaps he should have abandoned those businesses in Hanzhou earlier and shifted his focus to Qiongjin.

However, faced with such vast interests, it was very difficult for Xiao Zi'an to make a decisive cut.

Xu Zongchao glared at Tang Ye, his eyeballs seemingly about to pop out.

On one hand, he blamed Xiao Zi'an for being too stupid.

On the other hand, he regretted having let his guard down.

He had assumed that by forging his identity and sneaking back into the country, he could do so without anyone knowing, but he had not expected to fall into a trap set by Tang Ye.

"Tang Ye, you have good luck; it is I who underestimated you." Xu Zongchao looked at Tang Ye viciously.

Tang Ye said, "I don't need you to overestimate me! Spit out all your illegal gains and strive for lenient treatment!"

Xu Zongchao sneered, "Do you think catching me is enough? I have brothers abroad who would die for me; they will find a way to rescue me. You had better be careful; who knows, one day while walking down the street, you might just disappear!"

Tang Ye said disdainfully, "Thank you for reminding me that you have other accomplices. If you have any tricks, feel free to use them."

Xu Zongchao let out a cold hum, "The forces you have offended are beyond your imagination; sooner or later, you will regret your actions today."

Tang Ye glanced at Xu Zongchao with disdain, "Is that so? I will wait for your accomplices to take revenge on me. However, have you ever thought that it might be them who walk right into a trap?"

Xu Zongchao's expression froze.

As Tang Ye said, it seemed as if he were constantly finding people to deal with him.

But Tang Ye's vigilance was very high, and his sense of counterattack was very strong.

Not only had he dodged his several assassination plans, but this time he had even entered the game himself, causing him to suffer a crushing defeat.

……

Xiao Zi'an, Xu Zongchao, and the others were escorted into police cars.

Tang Ye said to Feng Kun, "You have worked hard during this time. Dancing with wolves is very difficult, and you might even have encountered life-threatening danger."

Feng Kun sighed with emotion, "When you found me and asked me to go undercover beside Xiao Zi'an to collect evidence of his crimes, I was actually resistant in my heart.

I didn't understand it at the time, thinking that Feng Lin was caught because of you.

However, after being in contact with Xiao Zi'an for so long and seeing with my own eyes how he schemed to lead Han Haoyang down a path of no return, I finally realized that the culprit was Xiao Zi'an.

Being able to bring this menace to justice, I feel so relieved!"

Tang Ye said, "It is thanks to you constantly providing intelligence; if not for the clues you provided, the Old City Project would very likely have been designed by Xiao Zi'an into a ten-billion-yuan scam, and countless people might have had their families destroyed because of this project."

Feng Kun sighed with emotion, "Feng Lin did so many bad things; a father's debts are paid by his son, I am just atoning for his sins. If a son is not taught, it is the father's fault! It was I who raised him to be a failure! I hope Feng Lin can reflect properly while inside."
