The airport was bustling with people coming and going, but Qiu Qian's spirits were not high, her face full of disappointment, looking very reluctant.

Ling Zhenfei escorted Qiu Qian to the ticket gate. Just as she was about to pass through, she ran back and threw herself into Ling Zhenfei's arms.

"Divine Doctor Brother, I really can't bear to leave you."

Ling Zhenfei comforted her and said, "I can't bear to leave you either. Take this as a gift from me."

As he spoke, a small bottle appeared in Ling Zhenfei's hand. It was a glass bottle containing a small petal, which looked very beautiful.

"What kind of flower is this? It's so pretty!" Qiu Qian looked at the petal in the bottle with great delight, appearing very satisfied with it.

"Open the bottle cap and smell it," Ling Zhenfei reminded Qiu Qian.

Qiu Qian lightly opened the bottle cap and sniffed it gently under her nose, her face showing a comfortable expression.

"Divine Doctor Brother, what is this? It smells so nice, such a peculiar scent."

Ling Zhenfei was also very pleased and said, "As long as you like it. If you miss me, just take it out and smell it."

"Thank you, Brother. I really like it and I will miss you."

As she spoke, Qiu Qian suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Ling Zhenfei on the face. Then Qiu Qian slowly backed away, finally passing through the ticket gate. After waving to Ling Zhenfei at the boarding gate, she walked in and disappeared from sight.

What Ling Zhenfei had just given Qiu Qian was a peculiar flower from the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow. This flower had a very special scent and was called the First Love Flower.

Ling Zhenfei felt that the name of this flower was very fitting, and its fragrance did indeed evoke a feeling of first love.

This flower could stimulate a person's taste buds, causing the body to produce dopamine faster, which made people feel happy. This pleasant feeling was the taste of first love.

Ling Zhenfei walked out of the airport as a plane flew overhead. Perhaps Qiu Qian was looking down from that plane.

Ling Zhenfei drove away, thinking it was getting late and wanting to return to Liu Bingying's house. But as he was driving, he received a call. The call was from Long Hai. Ling Zhenfei knew that calls from Long Hai were always very important, so he pulled over to the roadside and answered the phone.

"Brother Zhenfei, great news, great news."

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly said, "Big Brother Long, stop keeping me in suspense. What's the news?"

Long Hai laughed and said, "The higher-ups have decided to close the net tonight."

Ling Zhenfei was shocked, "So soon?"

From the time they received the information two nights ago, it hadn't even been two days. He hadn't expected the higher-ups to decide so quickly.

"That's right, now it's that fast. The country wants to catch both flies and tigers together, especially targeting the tigers more resolutely. Tonight we'll catch the tigers first, then the flies. How about it, are you coming?" Long Hai's voice was filled with excitement.

"If you have enough people, I won't go. But if you don't have enough, I'll come."

Long Hai thought for a moment and said, "Then you'd better come. I'm afraid the people at the Imperial Palace Club will be tough to deal with. With you here, I won't be afraid."

"Alright, tell me the location and I'll head there right away."

After getting the address, Ling Zhenfei drove straight to the location Long Hai mentioned.

The address Long Hai gave was in the city center, not far from the city government building. Ling Zhenfei parked the car and then went upstairs.

Zhou Xia was already waiting and, upon seeing Ling Zhenfei arrive, led him into a room.

The room wasn't large, like a small meeting room, but it was full of people. It looked like they were having a meeting, but when Ling Zhenfei saw who was inside, he was surprised. He hadn't expected to see Guo Qing'an and Han Lian there.

Besides them, there were many people Ling Zhenfei didn't know.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei arrive, Long Hai, who was at the blackboard, immediately stopped his work and introduced Ling Zhenfei to everyone: "Let me introduce, this is Ling Zhenfei. Thanks to his hard work, we obtained such detailed information. He will be joining our operation tonight."

Ling Zhenfei greeted everyone, and those who didn't know him were doubtful of his identity, while those who did smiled, especially Guo Qing'an and Han Lian.

"Zhenfei, come sit here." Guo Qing'an called to Ling Zhenfei, who then sat beside Guo Qing'an, with Han Lian on the other side.

Seeing Han Lian again, Ling Zhenfei felt a rush of thoughts. If no one had knocked on the door, it would have been risky. Yet now, Han Lian acted as if nothing had happened.

After Ling Zhenfei sat down, Long Hai continued discussing the detailed arrangements, while Guo Qing'an whispered to Ling Zhenfei.

"Zhenfei, your application has been approved."

Ling Zhenfei was startled. The application Guo Qing'an mentioned was the clearance for a special state department. He hadn't expected it to be approved so soon. From today, he would be a secret operative for the state.

"Was it just approved? Do I need to do anything else?"

Guo Qing'an said, "We'll keep an eye on your situation and report to the higher-ups. If the country needs you, we'll contact you."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, thinking it was natural to use the special department's badge as a protective shield and work for the state.

At this moment, Long Hai said loudly from the front, "Director Guo, can you all listen to me first? We're at the most critical moment. I don't want any mistakes."

Although Guo Qing'an was a director, he had to listen quietly, as the investigation team wasn't to be taken lightly.

Long Hai saw everyone quiet down and continued loudly, "Once our Discipline Inspection Commission colleagues invite Zhou Yang into the car, our officers will begin closing the net. All the related individuals and potential informants will be apprehended."

Long Hai's eyes fell on Guo Qing'an. "Director Guo, how are your preparations?"

Guo Qing'an replied, "Everything's ready. Tonight, all the city's police will be on duty. I told them it's an important drill. As long as no one hinders us, we can start rounding people up anytime."

Long Hai was satisfied, "After the higher-ups are captured, immediately seal all four gates of the Imperial Palace Club. Arrest anyone trying to leave, and go in once everyone's assembled."

"The operation at the Imperial Palace Club will be led by Comrade Han Lian, and I'll be responsible for capturing the others on the list. Many people from big enterprises are involved, I'm afraid the detention center won't be big enough," Guo Qing'an joked.

Long Hai laughed along, then reiterated the plan, aiming for perfection.

After everything was arranged, it was already late. Long Hai said into the walkie-talkie, "Plan A, Step One, commence."
