"No need." Fang Zhongtian naturally wouldn't ask the Dragon Head for help that quickly with an emergency plan on hand...

After all, each time the Dragon Team takes action, it comes with a favor, and this favor the Ministry of State Security cannot repay. Even if the Dragon Team compensates the Ministry, Fang Zhongtian doesn't want them to intervene so soon; he would resolve things himself unless absolutely necessary.

"Just let me know if you need anything, Old Fang! That's all for now." The Dragon Head hung up after he finished speaking.

Fang Zhongtian also ended the call, his eyes glinting sharply. Then, he picked up another phone.

Once the call connected, Fang Zhongtian immediately said, "Jiang Ming, the Ministry of State Security is enacting the emergency plan. Operations are halted for three days, suspend all information and intelligence transmission. Members are not to surface, and new assignments will be arranged after three days."

Jiang Ming, on the other end of the line, was the director of the third office of the Ministry of State Security. He used to be the second-in-command, but as he aged, he planned to gradually retreat from the agency.

Thus, he began transferring his power little by little to Qin Kong, making Qin Kong the bureau's second-in-command.

Since Fang Zhongtian was made young again by Ye Hao, his position became more stable, so when Qin Kong left, it was without any lingering issues.

If Fang Zhongtian hadn't become younger, he would have felt regretful, watching the position of the head of the Ministry of State Security slip from his grasp, suddenly targeted and apprehended—how could he be willing?

Jiang Ming was momentarily stunned on the other end before he asked, "Director, what's happening?"

Jiang Ming's unawareness wasn't his fault; it was indeed because Fang Zhongtian's move to apprehend Qin Kong was so swift that no one at the Ministry sensed it, nor did they notice the undercurrents beneath the surface.

"Qin Kong might have taken away massive amounts of Ministry of State Security data; he's with God. I'm afraid God might make it easy for him to sell those documents to other countries." Fang Zhongtian anticipated the worst to prevent substantial casualties; otherwise, he would be the sinner!

"Qin Kong? Why would he take a large amount of data?" Jiang Ming was shocked. Did Qin Kong get bought off, or had he been planted by another country?

"Qin Kong is with God. Although his status isn't clear yet, it's certain that his position within God's forces isn't low. The fact that he managed to leave smoothly before the Dragon Team could apprehend him shows that Qin Kong is definitely a real power player within God's ranks. His specific rank can be deduced later. Jiang Ming, immediately shut down the Ministry's operations. I will take full responsibility." Fang Zhongtian explained, to prevent Jiang Ming from being confused and making mistakes.

"He's with God?" Jiang Ming stood there, stunned, then shouted, "Yes, Director."

Subsequently, Jiang Ming made eight calls—these were to the chief squads the Ministry controlled in other major countries. These eight calls involved thousands of lives; if Qin Kong really sold that data, thousands could perish.

Once the calls connected and Jiang Ming used code words with the chief squads abroad, he said, "Immediately halt all Ministry operations. Clearly, all activities. Scatter as needed, stay put if stationed, no one is to come to the surface. New assignments will be arranged three days later."

The person in charge on the other end hesitated for a moment, but the Ministry's orders were paramount, so they could only instruct others to call back those out in the field.

The Ministry's headquarters was puzzled why their contacts in other countries were cut off.

Even Fang Ni frowned; how did contact break off from Ye Long's side?

But they were soon shocked because Jiang Ming told them there was a mole in the Ministry.

Fang Ni quickly understood why Ye Hao previously refused to let anyone mention the possibility of a mole in the Ministry. Even speculation was forbidden, because anyone could be the mole.

They indeed found the mole, but what surprised them was that the mole turned out to be the seemingly kind and amiable elderly Qin Kong.

Of course! Jiang Ming mentioned a mole but didn't specify that Qin Kong was with God, fearing it might cause a stir. If other countries found out God had infiltrated the Ministry for years undetected, it would be a laughingstock.

Afterwards, Fang Ni made a private call to Ye Hao, worried something might have happened on his end, too.

Once connected, Fang Ni worriedly asked, "Are you okay, Ye Hao?"

At this moment, Ye Hao was lying on Lin Ruyu's bed, being fed porridge by her. The aftershock from a bomb this time indeed injured him severely; if his strength were slightly weaker, it would have been fatal.

"I'm fine. How are things? Did Elder Fang catch Qin Kong?" Ye Hao asked.

"Ah? You know about what happened at the Ministry?" Fang Ni exclaimed, thinking how could Ye Hao know just after it happened?

Little did she know that it was Ye Hao who reported Qin Kong was with God.

"Of course I know. Qin Kong is with God!" Ye Hao chuckled, but moving his mouth too much caused a violent cough.

Lin Ruyu took the phone from Ye Hao, huffing, "Rest well. Talk to Sister Ni properly when you're healed. You're wounded now, so don't speak much."

Ye Hao reluctantly nodded.

Taking up the phone, Lin Ruyu said, "Sorry, Sister Ni, Ye Hao had some trouble and is currently injured, so he's unable to talk on the phone for long."

"Ah! What happened to Ye Hao?" Fang Ni was immediately concerned, thinking, how could Ye Hao have an accident in just a few days?

"Nothing serious, just internal injuries. He should fully recover in a couple of days." Lin Ruyu smiled.

"Glad to hear. Thank you so much, you've worked hard." Fang Ni expressed her gratitude.

"No need to be so formal, Sister Ni, we're all family." Lin Ruyu said with a smile.

Fang Ni paused on the other end, knowing what Lin Ruyu meant by 'family'. It meant that they would all be sisters in the future, all as Ye Hao's women.

"Alright! Thank you, dear; take good care of him for me. I'm a bit far and can't be of much help from here." Fang Ni said helplessly.

"Hehe, Sister Ni, we'll soon be in Yanjing for school. Next time, you have to cook your delicious food for us; Ye Hao says it's really good, and I want to try it too." Lin Ruyu laughed.

"Great, great! Once you're here, we'll go shopping and I'll cook for you all." Women chatting can completely forget about other matters.

Ye Hao had been waiting with his mouth open, and Lin Ruyu hadn't fed him the porridge.

After a long while, Ye Hao could only say helplessly, "Sister, I'm hungry..." (To be continued.
