Late at night, An Department Military Headquarters.

After receiving the news from Qiu Ge, An Zecheng drank his tea and fell into deep thought.

Tonight's capture operation went very smoothly, especially with He Yan and the police officers responsible for assisting him being captured alive. This was a relatively ideal outcome.

This also indirectly showed that Gu Baisun's deliberate release of He Yan was likely a ploy to cast a long line. Therefore, it could be inferred that the possibility of his previous betrayal was extremely small.

However, when An Zecheng met with Gu Baisun last time, the latter did not initially reveal the He Yan lead, and even lied about it. What was the reason for this?

An Zecheng held his teacup, constantly analyzing the matter in his mind. After pondering for a long time, he made a judgment.

Gu Baisun still had a great deal of distrust towards them, especially the An faction. Therefore, he only reluctantly revealed the prison clue under pressure.

At that time, Gu Baisun wrote only two words on the note he gave to An Zecheng: "Prison."

An Zecheng slowly took a sip of tea and pondered again.

After a long time, he still felt that Gu Baisun was the most suitable candidate to continue investigating the He Yan lead, uncovering the potential unstable factors in Dragon City, and resolving internal problems.

However, Gu Baisun's distrust of them, his inner alertness, and the many things he kept hidden made An Zecheng unsure whether this person could be used.

In the end, An Zecheng slowly put down his teacup and murmured, "Forget it, let Xiao Yu handle this matter."

Liu Hongxu had been sitting beside him. Having followed An Zecheng for so many years, he naturally understood his old leader's thoughts and immediately echoed, "Right now, the only one in Dragon City who can figure out Gu Baisun is Xiao Yu."

"Hmm..." An Zecheng slowly nodded and turned to Liu Hongxu, saying, "Alright, take a trip to the sanatorium and bring Gu Baisun out."

"Okay!"

Liu Hongxu immediately got up and quickly left the office.

An Zecheng sat behind his desk, thought for a moment, and took out his phone to dial a number.

...

About twenty minutes later, Gu Baisun was brought to An Zecheng's office by Liu Hongxu. He sat in front of the desk as usual and greeted, "Commander An."

An Zecheng looked Gu Baisun up and down and said directly to him, "The results from the prison are out. He Yan has been caught, and several people who helped him hide have also been apprehended. We now have control of the chief of the police department in Daokou District and the relevant management personnel of the detention center. I called you here to ask for your opinion. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle the aftermath of this matter?"

Gu Baisun paused with a smile and responded softly, "Commander An, look, I'm not in charge of this matter, so please don't force me to speak. Otherwise, I'll make too many enemies... I won't even know how I died."

An Zecheng looked at him with a serious expression and, without saying anything else, took out his phone and made a call.

The call was quickly connected, and An Zecheng handed the phone to Gu Baisun.

Gu Baisun looked at the phone, remained silent for a moment, and then answered it, "Hello?"

Soon, Su Tianyu's slightly weak voice came from the receiver, "I just woke up. I've heard about the matter."

The previously relaxed Gu Baisun immediately stood up and replied, "Bureau Chief Su, how are you doing?"

Su Tianyu smiled, "I'm fine. I need some time to rest. Thank you for your concern. Once I'm better, I'll still be busy here for a while, frequently contacting the Hua District."

Gu Baisun nodded repeatedly, "That's good! That's good..."

Su Tianyu paused for a moment, then said to him, "I'm fine here. The priority now is to ensure the stability of Dragon City, and then we can deal with external matters. Otherwise, if the foundation is unstable, all deployments will be for naught. I've already communicated with Commander An about this. The follow-up events regarding He Yan will be handled entirely by you."

Gu Baisun lowered his head and responded softly, "If I handle it, there might be resistance...!"

Su Tianyu told him almost without hesitation, "Don't worry, you just do it, and I'll bear the pressure."

Hearing this, Gu Baisun was visibly stunned, his eyes slightly dazed. He didn't expect Su Tianyu to answer so decisively.

Was this a trust without hesitation?

Gu Baisun quickly came back to his senses and said seriously into the phone, "Yes, Bureau Chief Su!"

Su Tianyu said lightly, "Alright, I have to meet someone later. That's it, go handle it."

"Okay."

The two ended the call.

Gu Baisun thought for a moment, gently put down the phone, leaned back into his chair, turned to An Zecheng and said, "Bureau Chief Su has told me everything, Commander An."

An Zecheng crossed his fingers, his expression unchanged, and asked directly, "How long will it take to resolve the issue if the follow-up events are handed over to you?"

Gu Baisun pondered for a moment and said, "District One is the proactive attacking side, with a large territory and a greater chance of winning, so internal instability is normal. Before the results are in, there will definitely be a state of panic and internal spies everywhere. Therefore, I can't guarantee that I can completely clean up the entire Dragon City, but there will definitely be remarkable results before the war begins."

An Zecheng frowned and looked at him, asking, "What makes you think a war will definitely break out?"

"I have my sources..." Gu Baisun smiled and said, "However, Commander An, let's get the ugly words out of the way first. If you hand this matter over to me, the process may be very bloody."

An Zecheng stared at him and said slowly, "Pains are inevitable, as long as you do the right thing."

Gu Baisun didn't say anything more, just nodded lightly.

...

Ten minutes later, Gu Baisun's quarantine review ended, and he left the An Department Military Headquarters directly with his men.

Liu Hongxu stood by the window, glanced at Gu Baisun's departing figure, and couldn't help turning to An Zecheng and sighing again, "In the entire Dragon City, the only one who can control this kid is Gou Liuzi."

An Zecheng was expressionless and said calmly, "Let's see the results of his follow-up handling..."

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Just as the two were talking, the office door was gently knocked on. A guard walked in and reported, "Report! Zhou Tonghui and Wen Xiaorou have arrived."

"Why are they here?" An Zecheng was a little surprised, then waved his hand to the guard and said, "Let them come up."

"Yes!"

The guard nodded and turned to leave the office.

Liu Hongxu thought for a moment, also found a reason, and went out first.

A few minutes later, Zhou Tonghui and Wen Xiaorou came in together. After exchanging a few pleasantries, An Zecheng invited them to sit on the sofa next to him.

After everyone was seated, An Zecheng crossed his legs, looked at the two juniors in front of him, and asked softly, "Tonghui, Xiaorou, what brings you here so late?"

The two were silent for a moment, and Wen Xiaorou took the lead in saying, "Uncle, we want to ask you for a favor..."
