It would take more than an hour to get here from H City, even by helicopter. It had only been a dozen or so minutes since she'd talked to him on the phone.

They were here a long time ago?

But before Du Qing called her in the morning, he was still in H City and was still trying to decipher the tracking satellite phone. From his excitement, if he cracked the results, he would obviously share the news with her first.

However, she did not receive any notification that the satellite phone had been successfully tracked.

Then, to return to the original question, how did he appear here in such a short amount of time?

"You must have suffered some great shock, haven't you? Do you want to find a place to rest first? " Du Qing gently pushed her away as he smiled.

He was changing the topic!

Hai Xiao Min did not speak, but stared at him with his bright eyes, his gaze was especially calm, which made Du Qing even more uneasy. He licked his lips and was just about to open his mouth, when one after another, special police officers came to stand in front of them and saluted.

"Sir, a team of snipers hit the suspect but did not harm his vital parts. The suspect's life is not in danger!"

"Reporting to Sir, Team Two has taken control of the manor. Everyone gather on the lawn and wait for the next order!"

"Sir, three teams are searching the back mountain …"

A series of powerful reports were reported in the room.

Finally, Hai Xiao Min looked down at Du Qing with his eyes slanted, and laughed coldly: "Sir? Didn't you get suspended? "

Du Qing felt his scalp tighten. The smile of trying to get away had long since disappeared as he helplessly explained to himself, "I'm not lying to you, I've been suspended. This time, the orders from the higher-ups are for me to lead the team."

As expected, these people were brought by him.

"You really didn't lie to me anywhere?" Hai Xiao Min asked.

"I …" A look of hesitation appeared on Du Qing's face.

At this moment, the third team's report came clearly through the walkie-talkie, "Reporting, Sir, the third team has arrived at the back mountain. They have been controlled and there is no resistance. They have found a large area of opium poppy cultivation on the mountain. They need you to come and take a look at the scene!"

What? Poppy?!

Hai Xiao Min was shocked.

Du Qing furrowed his brows, his thick eyebrows and large eyes finally revealed the iron-blooded majesty they normally possessed. He spoke into the walkie-talkie, "Protect the scene, I'll head over right now!"

He was about to walk out when he suddenly remembered something. He lowered his eyes and said, "You can rest here for the time being. Wait for me to come back."

This sentence was said to Hai Xiaomin. Although her tone was light, it was still enough to make her feel a bone-piercing coldness.

He had once said that if the LY-related crime was proven to be true, he could only stand on the side of justice. He didn't expect that the precaution he gave Hai Xiaomin would turn out to be true, and this sentence was also tactfully telling her that as a person involved in the crime, she was also grounded!

When Du Qing left the room, all the other special police officers in the room did their job. Some were on alert, some were searching, some were stopping the bleeding for Guan Xiang, and there was a special care from Du Qing.

It was as if she had fallen into an icy cave. All her energy had been drained from her body. She staggered two steps back and collapsed into a nearby seat. Her pretty face was filled with the expression of someone who had lost their soul.

Who could tell her what was going on? Wasn't the plant grown on the back mountain used for LY research? Why was it opium poppy?

When Du Qing returned, his expression was gloomy, showing that his trip to the back mountain did indeed have a bad ending. However, Hai Xiaomin was still unable to believe it, so he immediately went up to greet him.

Did the back of the mountain really plant opium poppy?

This was her husband's manor, right? Shouldn't she be the clearest person in the world? In the eyes of outsiders, her question was laughable and ignorant. Furthermore, the report from the special police on the walkie-talkie wasn't nonsense, was it?

Hai Xiao Min did not dare to ask, but Du Qing knew what she wanted to know. She silently took out a plant with fruits on it from behind her.

Although he had never seen a real poppy before, he had more or less read about it on the internet. It was exactly the same as the plant in front of him!

Seeing this scene, a strange smile appeared on Guan Xiang's paper-pale face.

The military doctor brought a stretcher and carried the heavily injured woman away. When they left the house, Hai Xiaoming's eyes met. The smile of a victor on the corner of Guan Xiang's mouth made Hai Xiaomin's heart tremble for some reason!

After Du Qing's men took over the Star Manor, everyone in the manor was brought out for investigation. The follow-up cleaning continued for an entire day.

As night fell, the cars that were sent back to H City departed one by one. Hai Xiaoming was also arranged to be on one of the cars. Du Qing was accompanying them and had been directing them for an entire day.

The interior of the carriage was very quiet. Other than the two people in the front seat, there was only the two of them in the huge back seat. Du Qing sat opposite of Hai Xiao Min, leaning forward with his elbows on his legs, not saying a word.

"Even now, you're still not willing to tell me what you've been hiding from me?" The first to speak was Hai Xiaomin.

The whole day was enough for her to calm herself down and sort out a lot of things. For example, Du Qing brought so many people to seal the Star Manor, and during the process, they arranged the entire place in an orderly manner.

"…" Du Qing lowered his head, as he was unwilling to face Hai Xiaoshan. Perhaps, there were many things in his heart that he couldn't face her head on.

"Military secrets?" This car's performance was not comparable to Ling Yao's car. As they drove, Hai Xiao Min's body swayed slightly. She thought for a while and said, "Then if I can ask you, just answer. If you can, then forget it."

Du Qing raised his eyes and looked at her.

Seeing his silence as a tacit acknowledgement, Hai Xiaomin started to ask, "Are you following me?"

Du Qing was stunned as he did not expect Hai Xiao Min to guess this point. He nodded his head hesitantly, "Yes."

"Were you trying to test me on that phone call this morning?" Hai Xiao Min gradually frowned. Now that she thought about it, the police wanted to catch the drug, they just found out the clues about the drug lord's upper echelons, so how could they leak it out to her so easily?

"Mm …" Du Qing was discouraged. At this moment, he clearly understood that he had no choice but to face the situation head on.

"How did you suspect me?" Hai Xiao Min really couldn't think of this.

"I don't suspect you, just a gamble. Didn't we speculate that LY had a spy? I just wanted to try and see if there was any connection between you and that spy."
