Qi Weiwei gritted her teeth; even before Lin Hai's arrival, she had already been in utter disarray, wrestling with her thoughts for a long time.

With that piece of evidence and after the investigation, she quickly singled out the likely mole.

But at a critical moment, she encountered an inexplicable obstruction.

However, it was precisely this obstruction that made Queen Qi even more certain of her conjectured outcome.

Although she couldn't be completely sure, the thought that among the suspects, his was the largest made Queen Qi feel terrible inside.

"Should I tell King Yan?"

"King Yan seems to hate evil as much as enemies do. What if I rashly tell him, will it..."

"But all the unfavorable evidence points to him..."

Lin Hai looked at Qi Weiwei and noticed that the Queen's expression was somewhat unusual.

"Officer Qi, tell me who the mole is," Lin Hai urged again.

Queen Qi sighed, clenched her teeth, and said, "Alright, it's still not completely certain."

"The mole is very likely... Director Li Changfeng."

Having said this, Queen Qi fell silent, very reluctant inwardly to believe this outcome.

But reason forced her to accept it.

Li Changfeng, ever since she started working, had been both a teacher and a father figure. Her ability to investigate and solve cases was nurtured by Li Changfeng; her martial arts skills were personally taught by him. Even many of the dangers encountered during criminal arrests had been saved by Li Changfeng.

After speaking, Queen Qi seemed to see the scene where King Yan would ruthlessly kill Li Changfeng. Tears uncontrollably fell from her eyes as she cried and begged, "King Yan, please don't kill Director Li; the matter hasn't been thoroughly investigated."

By this time, Lin Hai was already stunned.

When that name reached his ears, the shock in his heart was far more unbearable than Queen Qi's, as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been harshly poured over his soul.

Li Changfeng!

An inexplicable sorrow and anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

Li Changfeng was his best comrade-in-arms, his best brother!

They cried together, laughed together, bled and sweated together; their relationship was so close they were almost like brothers in arms.

Lin Hai's first thought was, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

How could his brother collude with drug traffickers, engaging in such heinous acts?

He refused to believe that someone from Dragon Tooth would do such a thing.

He and those brothers had loyalty etched in their bones, military spirit infused in their blood, ideals and beliefs they held dear. They could never betray the oaths and principles they initially swore by, never!!

Lin Hai slowly took a deep breath, trying to control the emotions that were on the verge of erupting, and with a nearly emotionless voice, hoarsely said:

"Officer Qi, as the certainty is not there, I hope you will continue the investigation."

Having said that, Lin Hai could no longer bring himself to speak. His heart was deeply troubled, clinging onto the slim hope that Queen Qi's investigation was wrong.

He had no mental preparation to face his own brothers in arms. If possible, Lin Hai hoped he would never find the truth, or that the truth was not Li Changfeng.

He had already suffered enough, lost too many comrades. Now, from the original group of Dragon Tooth, only a handful remained. He could not accept this investigation result. No matter how calm and rational his mindset, it was too hard to bear.

Queen Qi was stunned.

"What I need is absolute certainty of the evidence because it relates to whether I take action. I don't want to mistakenly take down an innocent person," Lin Hai explained.

Hope ignited in Queen Qi's heart. If even King Yan himself doubted his investigation, then it was very likely that a mistake had been made.

"Alright, King Yan, I will continue to investigate. I also absolutely refuse to believe that Director Li is an internal mole and traitor of the police force. He is the most upright good person I have ever met," Queen Qi said, even somewhat excitedly.

Lin Hai nodded, silently walked to the window, and leaped out from the third floor of Queen Qi's home, disappearing into the night.

He even deliberately did not tell Judge about this matter, because he was scared. Judge had a strong ability to gather intelligence, and if a certain outcome was confirmed, Lin Hai was afraid he couldn't accept it.

People are like this sometimes; they'd rather deceive themselves than face reality because that reality is too cruel, bearing a weight too heavy for the heart to handle.

Queen Qi watched Lin Hai leave and finally let out a sigh of relief, feeling as if the pressure on her shoulders had suddenly vanished, collapsing weakly onto the sofa.

For some reason, when she mentioned the name "Li Changfeng," she distinctly felt King Yan's aura terrifyingly intensify to a fearsome extent, almost suffocating her, as if she were not facing a man but a terrifying ancient behemoth.

"It definitely can't be Director Li," Queen Qi thought to herself.

Elsewhere, in a highly secretive villa basement in Huadu,

Li Changfeng stood silently in place, looking at the figure that was engraved in his memory, wishing he could grind that person to dust, yet was utterly powerless to do so.

Yu Hailing had his back to Li Changfeng; he had taken a risk sneaking back to Huadu.

At this moment, the corner of his mouth held a playful smirk: "Director Li, just get through this one last job, and all our dealings will be wiped clean. What do you say?"

"Scum! You will receive retribution," Li Changfeng ground his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

Yu Hailing laughed nonchalantly: "You're now one of us too. Think about it, over the years, through the leak you provided, how much drugs have flowed in? If you're speaking of scum, I believe you're more fitting of the title. On the surface, you're the righteous vice director of the criminal police, but underneath, these dealings, tsk, don't you find yourself hypocritical?"

"Yu Hailing, one day you will pay the price. Heaven watches what we do. I, Li Changfeng, was confused for a moment and fell into your trap, but in this world, evil can never overcome good."

Li Changfeng clenched his fists tightly.

"Heh, say whatever you want. After all, we are in the same boat now."

"Li Changfeng, one last mission. If you complete it, I guarantee all the evidence the organization has on you will be wiped clean. How about it?" Yu Hailing asked with a sinister smile.

"What else do you want me to do?!" Li Changfeng roared almost hysterically, having been tortured on his conscience for years, a pain far greater than the torment of "Heaven" drugs.

"I want you to kill someone, which also gives you a chance to relieve yourself, and you will receive a substantial bonus," Yu Hailing deliberately teased.

"Last time you were supposed to take care of Lin Hai, but you didn't complete it. This time I'm giving you another chance."

Yu Hailing paused, then added, "Make a choice, sacrifice your wife and child for your comrade, or kill your comrade—an insignificant security guard—for your wife and child."
