In the lounge, Gu Baisun, with his hands in his pockets, softly responded to An Zecheng's words, "The higher-ups have always trusted me, and I have been trying my best to do my job."

　　An Zecheng looked at him, expressionless. "To be honest, from a personal point of view, I have reservations about you. If I held a position in the administrative faction, I definitely wouldn't use you. Your situation wouldn't be like it is now."

　　This was very frank. Gu Baisun was silent for a moment, then replied in a very polite tone, "General An, on the matter of personal feelings, my feelings are the same as yours, even more painful than yours."

　　An Zecheng immediately understood the other layer of meaning in these words. He wasn't angry, but said calmly, "You and I both have emotional pain in our hearts, but having come this far, I think this pain should be released. Having paid such a huge price, personal feelings are not so important. I also believe that you have helped Su Tianyu for so many years, putting in effort and even losing relatives and friends. You certainly don't want The Dragon City to sink. I have even more faith in Su Tianyu's vision. He values you and trusts you. There must be a reason."

　　Gu Baisun nodded slowly, indicating his agreement.

　　An Zecheng didn't talk about this matter anymore, but changed the subject. "What do you think about Bai Hongbo being shot?"

　　Gu Baisun's answer was also very straightforward: "I think the problem lies in the police department. They were responsible for security at the Foreign Affairs Hotel. Being able to bring a gun inside, they definitely can't escape responsibility."

　　Hearing Gu Baisun's thoughts, An Zecheng nodded lightly. "Okay, I'll talk to Lao Li. This matter will be jointly investigated by the Quántǒng Bureau and the An faction. I'll have Liu Hongxu and Xiao Qiu cooperate with you to investigate this assassination case, dig out the mole, and report any problems directly to me."

　　Gu Baisun replied, "No problem."

　　"You're a smart man. I won't say much more. Go and get busy." An Zecheng gave Gu Baisun a meaningful look.

　　Gu Baisun didn't say anything else, got up and said, "Then I'll go first, General An, you're busy."

　　After the two finished speaking, Gu Baisun turned to leave, but just as he reached the door, An Zecheng suddenly stopped him: "Director Gu."

　　Gu Baisun turned his head to look at him. "General An, is there anything else?"

　　An Zecheng looked at him and said meaningfully, "Back then, when the Tongji Association split up, Xiao Yu didn't trust even Mingyuan and me, but he chose to trust you. I hope you don't let him down."

　　Gu Baisun paused for a moment and said, "Trust is mutual, General An."

　　After speaking, he turned and left the lounge.

　　An Zecheng sat on the sofa, looking in the direction of the door, frowning in thought.

　　...

　　Gu Baisun quickly returned to the parking lot and got into the car.

　　Guo Zhengdao turned his head and asked, "Director Gu, what did Lao An want from you?"

　　Gu Baisun glanced at him. "Isn't it obvious? The Dragon City is in chaos, and he wants to appease me."

　　Guo Zhengdao nodded and then asked, "Are we going back to the An faction's military headquarters now?"

　　Gu Baisun waved his hand. "No, go straight back to the Quántǒng Bureau."

　　After thinking for a moment, Gu Baisun added, "Brother Guo, you should notify the people from the An faction now and go with me to the Foreign Affairs Hotel where the incident happened. Investigate the surveillance footage, as well as the list of police officers and staff in recent days, and bring back the relevant information to me."

　　Guo Zhengdao replied, "Okay."

　　After speaking, he started the car and left the Huarong Hotel.

　　...

　　Half an hour later, Gu Baisun returned to the Quántǒng Bureau.

　　He walked into his office, waiting for the results of Guo Zhengdao's investigation.

　　While waiting, he walked to the bookshelf on the side, looking at the rows of anime figurines displayed on it.

　　He was a very silent and lonely person. In his spare time, his only hobby was collecting these figurines. Back when his father was shot and he was helpless, he relied on these things to relieve his inner emotions.

　　Now, in his spare time from work, he often plays with these things.

　　Because he had been too busy recently, many of the figurines were covered in dust.

　　He picked up one of the exquisitely detailed cartoon beauty figurines, placed it on his desk, carefully removed the ornaments on it, took out special tools, and began to clean, wipe, and maintain it.

　　A long time passed, until late at night, before the office door was knocked open, and Guo Zhengdao returned with a pile of documents.

　　He put the documents on the table and said to Gu Baisun with a headache, "Director Gu, I checked around, but I didn't find anything. The surveillance on the floor where the incident happened has been tampered with. Especially the one facing the toilet, the lens was drooping the day before the incident, and it couldn't capture anyone going in or out. I asked the relevant personnel at the hotel, and they said that the monitor was a bit old and the screws were loose, so the angle was wrong."

　　After talking about the camera, Guo Zhengdao pointed to the pile of documents on the table and added, "Also, there are many hotel staff members these days. Just the security personnel alone, because of rotations and shifts, involve more than a hundred people inside and out. Not only that, there are also sixty or seventy staff members who have work permits and can enter the relevant areas."

　　Gu Baisun reassembled a figurine, placed it gently on the table, turned his head and said to Guo Zhengdao, "Sounds like looking for a needle in a haystack, huh?"

　　Guo Zhengdao nodded. "Yes, the Foreign Affairs Hotel is too big, and there are too many people, and they are too mixed, so it will take some time to investigate. However, I also asked about their process for selecting security personnel, and it is quite strict. The most basic condition is that they must have served in the Dragon City police department for five years and be from a good background. Moreover, I heard that the people in the police department are not very satisfied with this job, because they have to work shifts, and it's a big shift, so many people don't like to do it."

　　Gu Baisun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you communicate with the An faction and divide up the directions."

　　Guo Zhengdao quickly asked, "How do we divide it?"

　　Gu Baisun told him, "Since they are police officers with more than five years of experience, they must all be veterans. Check their resumes, divide these people into factions and camps, and narrow down the targets."

　　Hearing this, Guo Zhengdao's eyes lit up.

　　Gu Baisun continued to add, "Check who was promoted by Wang Daolin, who was promoted by Shang Yao. And the Kong family, the Zhou family... find out who is behind these police officers, and distinguish them clearly."

　　Guo Zhengdao nodded. "I understand, I'll go and do it."

　　Saying that, he turned and left the office.

　　After Guo Zhengdao left, Gu Baisun got up and put the several well-maintained figurines back on the bookshelf.

　　Just then, he saw a delicate watch box on the bookshelf. It was given to him by Su Tianyu before he left. He wore it for a while before putting it away again.

　　After thinking about it, he took the watch box down and threw it into the drawer.

　　Gu Baisun sat back in his chair, looked at the documents in front of him, thought for a while, and dialed a phone number.

　　The phone was quickly connected, and an unfamiliar voice sounded on the other end: "Little Gu?"

　　Gu Baisun slowly said, "Continue to contact the people over there."

　　The other side replied, "Okay."

　　Gu Baisun hung up the phone and continued to read the documents.

　　...

　　Outside the An faction's military headquarters, Kong Zhengqi drove an off-road vehicle and picked up Kong Zhengqi.

　　Previously, after being questioned at the Quántǒng Bureau for a day, he was released, but was still under internal supervision.

　　The car drove towards the Kong family. On the way, Kong Zhengqi thought for a long time and couldn't help but say, "Brother, Su Tianyu is in trouble, this is our good opportunity!"

　　Kong Zhengqi fell into deep thought, without saying a word.
