Chapter 146 That Night

That night, An system military headquarters.

An Ze City sat in his office, reviewing a portion of the investigation report on Gu Baisun that had already been delivered.

About ten hours had passed since the secret control of Gu Baisun. During this period, the An system's intelligence department had been operating almost non-stop, conducting more in-depth searches and investigations.

An Ze City frowned as he looked at the investigation reports, his expression extremely complex.

"Knock knock knock."

Around seven o'clock in the evening, the office door was knocked. An Ze City, flipping through the documents, said without looking up, "Come in."

Liu Hongxu pushed the door open, holding a stack of new evidence chain documents in his hand. He gently placed them on An Ze City's desk. "Commander, all the investigated and verified evidence is here."

"Mm." An Ze City picked up the documents and quickly flipped through them in his hand, then asked, "What about the confession?"

Liu Hongxu shook his head gently. "We still haven't obtained Guo Zhengdao's confession, but we have the confessions of others."

An Ze City nodded and didn't say anything more.

After briefly reviewing the evidence, An Ze City organized it, held it in his hand, and stood up, saying, "Let's go, let's go see Gu Baisun."

"Okay."

Liu Hongxu immediately followed. The two left the office and arrived in front of a lounge.

Through the glass of the lounge, Gu Baisun could be seen sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. On the table in front of him were some snacks, tea, and even some magazines and newspapers to pass the time.

At this time, Gu Baisun didn't show any signs of nervousness on his face. He was drinking tea and reading a magazine.

Standing at the door, An Ze City glanced at him, then waved his hand at Liu Hongxu. "You don't need to come in."

Liu Hongxu was stunned for a moment, but he nodded and stood silently aside to wait.

An Ze City pushed the door open and walked in alone. Gu Baisun looked up at him and greeted him politely, "Commander An."

"Mm." An Ze City nodded and sat on the sofa opposite Gu Baisun, looking at him with a deep gaze.

Gu Baisun remained calm, put down the magazine, and waited for questioning in a relaxed manner.

After thinking for a moment, An Ze City said meaningfully, "After Liu Zi left, I met you twice. These two meetings were truly like heaven and earth."

Gu Baisun smiled and said, "That's normal. The situation in Dragon City is like this now."

An Ze City gently placed the documents in his hand on the table, then crossed his legs, clasped his hands, and rested them on his leg, slowly opening his mouth to ask, "Don't you have anything you want to tell me proactively?"

Gu Baisun leaned forward, propped his chin with his left hand, and said very naturally, "Why don't you start?"

An Ze City observed Gu Baisun's expression and found that his composure and calmness were not feigned. Among the young people An Ze City had met, besides Su Tianyu, Gu Bureau Chief was the only one who could remain so calm at this time.

After thinking for a moment, An Ze City reached out and gently patted the stack of evidence files on the table. "Then let's talk about your problem with Zhang Yuan first. Including the money, and the relationship between him and Guo Zhengdao, and your relationship with them."

"You investigated quickly." Gu Baisun couldn't help but nod. "In that case, you should have also investigated the flow of funds between the General Intelligence Bureau and Zhang Yuan, right?"

An Ze City looked at him and didn't say anything.

Gu Baisun smiled and continued, "That's right, Commander An, let me ask you a question. If you were me, setting up such a scheme, and using someone like Zhang Yuan, would you take money from the General Intelligence Bureau to give to him? Would you let a right-hand man like Guo Zhengdao meet with him? And in Dragon City?"

An Ze City frowned, carefully examined Gu Baisun's expression, and still didn't speak.

Gu Baisun said very frankly, "If I really wanted to do this, couldn't I afford the money myself? Why would I have to run it through the General Intelligence Bureau's accounts?"

An Ze City looked at him and replied softly, "Continue."

Gu Baisun paused for a moment and explained, "Zhang Yuan's situation is actually very simple. He was just an enemy intelligence informant I contacted during normal work. In the beginning, I had an intelligence officer under my command who was responsible for external lines, belonging to the third team of the first district. He was someone I trusted. This Zhang Yuan was the person he introduced. And I thought Zhang Yuan was useful, so I wanted to co-opt him. He was also willing to contact me. Not only did Guo Zhengdao meet with him, but I myself met with him twice, in the teahouse you found."

As Gu Baisun spoke, he picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and cleared his throat before continuing, "You see, since we're recruiting an important informant, we definitely have to pay him. This money is needed for work, so it has to come from the General Intelligence Bureau's informant development fund, a total of six million. The price is a bit high, but based on Zhang Yuan's rank, and his work experience in the Central Bureau and the Qing Yi Bureau, I personally think this amount is acceptable. As for Kong ZhengHui's continuous tracking and the so-called solid evidence he found, what can it prove? Zhang Yuan is a triple agent, taking money from everyone. Finding out about his relationship with me, does that prove that I set up this scheme?"

Gu Baisun's explanation was clear and logical.

An Ze City was not moved by these words. He looked at Gu Baisun with his hands clasped and continued to ask, "Then what about He Yan? What does he say?"

Gu Baisun said as a matter of course, "He Yan's matter is even clearer. He was just a bait placed in the open. In the entire incident, he was responsible for setting the pace and luring people to take the bait. Not to mention our internal people, even outsiders know that I have a grudge against Yu Mingyuan, a grudge against the Yu family, and even a grudge against the old team of the entire Huatong Association. So, as long as the opponent has a brain, they won't directly put the conflict on me, which would arouse suspicion. So, the best way is to push the rift. Whoever I have a conflict with, I'll use them as bait first! Kong Zhenghui already dislikes me, and I investigated his younger brother. The rift party suffered grievances, staged a so-called counterattack, and then traced the case back to me... Isn't that how it looks real? Hehe!"

Gu Baisun spoke lightly, but his words subtly carried a hint of ridicule.

An Ze City stared at him without looking away and asked, "Anything else?"

Gu Baisun was a little surprised. "Anything else? What else?"

An Ze City looked at him with his hands clasped, and after a long silence, he shouted, "Bring that person in!"

"Okay." Liu Hongxu outside the door replied.

Gu Baisun frowned when he heard this.

...

At the same time, in the Hua District.

Wu Han left Meng Xi's residence, took out his phone, and dialed Jiangzhou's number, "The discussion here is over, I'm preparing to leave for Dragon City."
