"Victor, we have checked your identity. You are thirty-eight years old, but you are not married nor have children." the woman said.

"Yes, I don't have much money and I'm ugly, so no woman would fall for me!" Xu Taiping said.

"I think that the most important thing for a man is to be spirited and beautiful." the woman said.

"Really? Then … "Excuse me, are you married?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Me? I didn't. " the woman said.

"Then can I have your phone number?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Of course, but when I get off work, I've already taken down your phone number. When I get off work, I'll contact you on my own accord." the woman said.

"That's great!" Xu Taiping nodded happily.

It was at this point that Xu Taiping saw a car appear in front of him.

After the car was parked, a few people got out and immediately surrounded Xu Taiping.

"What are you guys doing?!" Xu Taiping held the phone and looked at them in surprise.

"Come with us. We're from the national security forces." One of them took out a pass and waved it in front of Xu Taiping before putting it away.

"Show me your ID!" Xu Taiping said.

"Hurry and come with us!" A muscular man grabbed Xu Taiping's hand and said.

"Officer, someone wants to arrest me!" Xu Taiping shouted in excitement.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

A busy voice came from the other end of the line. The woman who had promised to call Xu Taiping had hung up on him.

"What are you guys doing?!" Xu Taiping shouted.

Those people didn't say anything. They forced Xu Taiping onto the car, and then the car sped away.

Inside the car, Xu Taiping was wearing a black hood. At the same time, his hands were handcuffed.

The car stopped after about 20 minutes. Then, Xu Taiping was pushed out of the car and walked forward.

After walking for a short while, Xu Taiping heard the door open, and then someone took off his hood and pushed him forward.

Xu Taiping staggered a few steps, then stopped and turned to look at the person behind him.

Behind him were the few people that forcefully took him away.

"Beat me up and introduce me. I'm Kirilenko from the Ministry of National Security." A hook-nosed man who looked around 30 years old said to Xu Taiping with a cold expression.

"Why did you catch me?!" Xu Taiping asked excitedly.

"We want to ask you something. How did you know about the northwest mine?" "How many people still know about the northwest mine?" Kirillenko asked.

"Yes …" "It was my friend who told me. He, he was at the Northwest Mining Area. He said that a lot of people had died in the Northwest Mining Area. He asked me to help him call the police. So I called the police in the name of my friend." Xu Taiping explained.

"Your friend? What is he doing in the northwest mine? " Kirillenko asked.

"I'm going to look for his friend. His friend is in the northwest mine." Xu Taiping said.

"Then why didn't your friend call the police himself?" Kirillenko asked.

"I don't know, he just called me. Asking me to help him call the police, I think he's afraid of provoking any trouble, right? " Kirilenko said.

"Then why did you report to the police? Why did you lose your phone?" Kirillenko asked again.

"I was also afraid of getting into trouble, so I bought a new phone and called the police, then I lost my phone. But I didn't see any police cars, so I could only call the police, I didn't expect you guys to come." Xu Taiping said.

Kirilenko exchanged a glance with the others around him, then suddenly said to Xu Taiping, "Call your friend and tell him to stay put and wait."

"Have him wait on the spot? I just called him, but I couldn't get through. You know that place, the signal isn't very good, but I think my friend should have already run away. Hearing him say that more than a hundred people are dead, how scary would that be? Xu Taiping said.

"You're right." Give us your friend's number and we'll try to reach him. " Kirilenko said.

"My friend's number is XXXXXX." Xu Taiping called Kirilenko.

"Very good!" Kiriyenko nodded, then reached to his waist and pulled out a gun. He pointed the gun at Xu Taiping.

"What are you doing!" Xu Taiping asked in shock.

"The Northwest Mine is an international secret. Now, I sentence you to death for betraying a state secret!" Kirilenko pulled the trigger.

With a bang, a gunshot rang out.

Xu Taiping did not fall.

With a flash, he arrived behind Kirilenko and put down the few people behind him.

Kirilenko was startled and jerked his head back to try to fire again. At this moment, a cold light flashed by.

The gun in Kirilenko's hand was cut in half.

The half of the spear fell to the ground.

Ka ka ka!

Kirilenko pulled the trigger one after another, but there was only a "ka ka" sound.

"Who are you?!" "What's going on?" Kieran asked with his eyes wide open as he looked at Xu Taiping in disbelief.

"I have a few questions to ask you. I hope you can answer them truthfully." Xu Taiping said.

"What problem?" Kirillenko asked.

"Why did so many people die in the northwest mine?" What exactly is the secret hidden in the northwest mine? " Xu Taiping asked.

"I don't know!" Kirilenko shook his head.

"I don't like dishonest people." Xu Taiping looked at Kirilenko and said, "I'll give you one chance, only one. If you don't answer my question truthfully, then …" "You won't have a chance to continue to answer. I will ask you again, why did so many people die in the northwest mine? What secrets did the northwest mine hide?"

"Kill me, I don't know anything, even if I do, I won't tell you. But let me advise you, on this land, if you kill me, you will definitely be hunted down. My boss will not let you go!" Kirilenko said.

"It's a man!" Xu Taiping nodded, and with a single stroke of his blade, he dealt with this man. It wasn't that he didn't know how to torture and force a confession, but he had already seen the look in Kirilenko's eyes, and knew that if a person asked for death, then there wouldn't be any objections.

Kirilenko was a man who had received very strict confidential training, and such people were generally the elites of various organizations.

What kind of people were concealing the secret of the northwest mine?

Xu Taiping had a feeling that the person who sent him the text message was related to the secret of the northwest mine.

Xu Taiping had originally planned to break open the gap between Kiriyenko and the others, but now it seemed that this gap could only be opened from other directions.

Nightfall.

After changing into ordinary clothes, Sharapova left the police station in Jacques City.

Sharapova was a police operator, and her daily job was to receive reports from the people of Jacques City.

Sharapova was thirty years old this year, but she was still single and unmarried. In a country with many men and women, it wasn't too late for her to get married at this age.

Sharapova was used to having a drink after work, so tonight, she went to the "beautiful lady" bar she usually visited.

This bar's wine was rather expensive, so it was able to keep out the miners who were addicted to alcohol. The people who came to this bar were usually the elites of Jacques City, men and women alike.

She would rather spend less money in other places every month than come here for a few drinks. Of course, she would only drink two or three cups a day, since her salary wasn't that high, but if she was lucky, she might run into a few men who wanted to pick her up. Since she was single, she naturally wouldn't reject them, and would sometimes go out with them to say goodbye to each other in the morning.

"I want a cup of my youthful dreams." Sharapova sat in front of the bar and skillfully ordered a relatively cheap cocktail.

The bar was filled with well-dressed men and women. Only by sitting here and drinking a glass of wine could Sharapova feel like she belonged to the upper class.

"I suppose you must be the owner of this bar?" Xu Taiping sat down in front of Sharapova and asked her with a cup of martini in his hand.

"Sir, you must be joking. I'm just a customer." When Sharapova saw the other party's attire and confirmed that he was likely to be a rich person, she smiled and shook her head.

"Oh, my god. How can you not be the boss? Isn't your temperament the name of this bar?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"Sir, although your way of speaking is very old-fashioned, but …" I'm still very happy, thank you! " Sharapova said with a smile.

"This is not a conversation." Xu Taiping shook his head, "I noticed you the moment you walked in the door. You're the most unusual person in the bar, at least in my eyes."

"Why?!" Sharapova asked doubtfully.

You don't wear makeup, but your skin is more exquisite than what they wear. You have an exquisite figure, which is something that only exercise can have, and from these details, you should be someone who comes from a superior background, but is self-disciplined. Oh right, let me introduce you, I am called Stanislavsky! "" Xu Taiping said.

"My name is Sharapova, and I have to admit that you are right, Mr. Stanislavsky." Sharapova laughed.

"I have the honor. Can I invite you to a drink?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I can't drink as much as I want, so I can only drink less. Because I still have to work tomorrow, I don't want to stay with my parents anymore. I have to stay by myself, so I have to get up in the morning!" Sharapova said.

Hearing Sharapova's words, Xu Taiping smiled slightly. He felt reassured in his heart.
