Chapter 725: A Dossier Uncovered

Book – Chapter 725: A Dossier (Update 3)

Many things don’t require an explanation. Lin

Just as values have no absolute standards.

“I was betrayed,”

Exhaling his smoke, Hua Kang sneered, “Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to catch me.”

“That’s right,” Xiao Yu nodded.

The operation to capture Hua Kang truly began when the police received a tip.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to nab the new leader of the drug trafficking syndicate.

The assault was explosive—four armed resisters were shot dead on the spot.

Two Armed Police officers were injured by gunfire.

The scene resembled a blockbuster gunfight.

All of this was documented in a case file…

“He was one of the syndicate’s own.”

Hua Kang stated with absolute certainty, “And inside the police, there are his people as well!”

Xiao Yu nodded.

This wasn’t mere conjecture.

Much like in any investigation, whoever benefits becomes the prime suspect.

If Hua Kang—the syndicate leader—falls, someone else will rise to replace him.

As for the police insiders…

The case file reveals:

From the moment the tip came in to the execution of the raid, the entire process lasted only about 30 minutes.

What does that indicate?

It shows the tip was precise, the operation prompt, and the capture flawless.

That deserves a thumbs up!

Yet many overlook one detail.

Some even consider that detail trivial.

When an arrest is made, everyone is overjoyed, and some specifics are disregarded.

So, what is that detail?

The process itself!

None of us are idiots, fools, or mentally challenged.

Imagine calling the police,

saying that someone in Bincheng is about to detonate a nuclear bomb—do you think they’d take you seriously?

They’d investigate first, right?

That’s the procedure.

For instance, if you report a major drug trafficker syndicate leader,

and claim he’s at a specific location, the police need to verify the information before acting.

They wouldn’t move without confirmation, would they?

But then…

Hua Kang was captured in about 30 minutes. Doesn’t that strike you as odd?

Investigations take time, as does mobilizing both SWAT teams and the Armed Police.

Even the journey to the scene requires time.

With Xiao Yu’s intellect, he nearly laughed at such a sloppy capture.

They received a tip, skipped proper investigation, deployed forces, and managed a flawless capture…

This procedure is completely off—it’s as though the police were colluding with someone in capturing Hua Kang!

Mentioning internal issues is just speculation.

Xiao Yu vowed to investigate the matter personally.

And now…

“Why do all this?” Xiao Yu asked again.

What exactly did Hua Kang do?

Instead of helping the police dismantle the syndicate, he ended up as its new leader.

That not only pits him against the people,

but also against the state.

Do you know how to write the word ‘death’?

“What if I say I’m still an undercover agent…”

Hua Kang sighed, “You believe that?”

Snort!

A Red Flag Car halted on the road. Xiao Yu paused for a moment.

Anyone hearing Hua Kang’s words would likely burst into laughter.

An undercover agent turned syndicate leader—isn’t that laughable?

Alright, so you claim you’re an undercover agent.

Yet you’ve become the leader of a criminal syndicate.

You already control all the evidence against the group.

Why not help the police dismantle the syndicate and then make a graceful exit?

Instead, you continue to lead this criminal enterprise?

At this point, still claiming you’re undercover…

Who are you insulting with that?

Xiao Yu turned and fixed his gaze on Hua Kang.

He stared into his eyes for a full thirty seconds.

What did he see?

A clear conscience!

“Who sent you to go undercover back then?” Xiao Yu asked in a low voice.

“…”

Hua Kang gave a bitter smile, “My Master sacrificed himself four years ago.”

Xiao Yu pondered deeply.

So aside from knowing that Hua Kang was a police academy student turned undercover agent, the police knew nothing else?

That’s normal.

To prevent exposure and unforeseen danger, an undercover agent’s identity is strictly confidential and maintained via single-line contact.

If what Hua Kang said is true…

then no one has been in contact with him for the past four years.

“You lost contact with the police for four years?”

Xiao Yu asked coldly.

“Yes.” Hua Kang nodded heavily.

Xiao Yu scrutinized him, then pulled out his phone and dialed Yun Xiangguo.

After the call connected, he immediately asked, “When did you find out that Hua Kang was our undercover agent, and when did you confirm his betrayal?”

··· Please send flowers ···

“…” Yun Xiangguo was silent for a moment before replying, “Last year!”

Something doesn’t add up… Xiao Yu’s face darkened.

What was off about the timing?

Every investigative unit has dedicated personnel managing undercover files.

They conduct annual audits:

First, to ensure contact isn’t lost.

Second, to prevent the agent from defecting.

Third, so that a death doesn’t go unnoticed.

Even if Hua Kang’s contact had perished, an internal check would have reestablished communication.

How could there have been a complete four-year blackout?

Someone tampered with Hua Kang’s file… Xiao Yu’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, “The City Bureau doesn’t have an undercover file for Hua Kang, right?”

“…Yes!” Yun Xiangguo replied.

“Then how did you determine that Hua Kang was undercover?”

Xiao Yu asked coldly, “Don’t tell me you found the file?”

“It wasn’t that we found the file; last year we received a tip about a change in leadership in the drug syndicate.”

Yun Xiangguo explained, “We then began investigating Hua Kang, discovering that his records show he once attended the police academy. He dropped out midway and subsequently vanished, so we followed that lead…”

Understood… Xiao Yu’s mind raced with the implications.

It had all been deduced.

He was performing well at the academy—it was impossible for him to just drop out.

Missing? And now he’s become the head of a drug syndicate?

“Still not enough,”

Xiao Yu pressed on, “What else did you find?”

“Hua Kang’s old classmates,”

continued Yun Xiangguo, “The detective who once recruited undercover agents had already perished, but he had spoken to two cadets at the academy, asking if they were willing to go undercover. In the end, they chose Hua Kang.”

So his identity was confirmed through another cadet… Xiao Yu suddenly understood.

The outcome? The police’s undercover agent ended up as the head of a drug syndicate—a truly shocking development.

“What about the file?”

Xiao Yu felt compelled to ask.

“There was nothing wrong with the personnel managing the file—we’ve investigated.”

Yun Xiangguo gave a bitter smile, “He has no idea how it simply vanished. We’ve determined that Hua Kang’s file was erased roughly four and a half years ago.”

Four and a half years… A glimmer of light flashed in Xiao Yu’s eyes.

Four years ago, when Hua Kang’s Master sacrificed himself?

But the file disappeared four and a half years ago?

Something wasn’t right—he was already dead, wasn’t he!
