Chapter 417: Ding Zhi is Dead

ey are definitely not husband and wife. They are already divorced, and Shu Tinglan has no desire to remarry. Getting married and then getting divorced is too hurtful. 。Secondly, they weren't in a rom...Zhu Yu'an paused his steps, waiting for Lu Kuò to continue.

"A month ago, he died." Lu Kuoyan gave Zhuo Yu'an this earth-shattering news in a concise and straightforward manner.

Zuo Yu'an's palm began to sweat faintly.

"How did he die"

He was a narcotics officer, undercover. He was discovered by the other side a month ago and is said to have died a gruesome death.

"An undercover cop" Zhuo Yu'an was incredulous, and immediately thought of Yi Muyang.

"Yes, but before that, the police couldn't publicly reveal Ding Zhi's identity to protect other undercover agents. Even when he died, they could only pretend not to know him, refusing to claim his body or announce his identity to the public. That's why we couldn't find any information about him."

"How can that be found now"

"The police went to pick him up, and the news will be released in the next two days, awarding him a medal."

Zhuo Yu'an's mind was a bit slow to catch up. An important piece of information had just emerged. He asked, "Can the police now publicly disclose his information and give him public commendation Does that mean they no longer need to protect those who were with him Were those who were with him also exposed"

"That's probably the case, and things look grim." Lu Kuo had no idea why Zhuo Yu'an was investigating Ding Zhi. He didn't even know Ding Zhi's connection to Yi Mu Yang, as Lu Kuo wasn't very familiar with Yi Mu Yang either.

"Hmm." Zhuo Yu'an hung up the phone, remembering Tinglan's nightmare last night. Could her dream really be a portent

He didn't have time to scroll through the news, no time to read the details released by the police. He immediately drove to his law firm, afraid that Tinglan would also see the news of Ding Zhi's sacrifice.

He knew the news couldn't be kept secret, but at least, he was by her side.

Shu Tinglan seldom browsed the news during work hours. After seeing Lin Zhi off, she was about to go upstairs to her office to handle work when Lao Ding called. Lao Ding sounded unusually excited on the phone, his words jumbled and incoherent.

"Sister-in-law...."

After calling her "sister-in-law," she began to sob, unable to utter a word.

Shu Tinglan's heart instantly jumped into her throat, and her face began to pale.

What's wrong

She held back her fear and asked patiently.

My brother is gone.

Shu Tinglan was walking from the first floor to the second floor of the law firm when she heard this sentence. Her footsteps stumbled, and she almost fell. Grabbing her phone, she ignored the passersby and spoke louder, asking:

"Which bro"

Lao Ding's older brother could be Ding Zhi, or it could be Yi Mu Yang. Although this thought was quite wicked, at this moment, she sincerely prayed that the older brother referred to was Ding Zhi and not Yi Mu Yang.

Lao Ding was sobbing uncontrollably, still offering no response.

“Have you seen the news”

Old Ding understood that if his cousin was a narcotics officer, then Yi Mu Yang must be one too. If his cousin died, Yi Mu Yang wouldn't be safe either.

Shu Tinglan felt a chill run down her spine, her legs turned to jelly, and she couldn't even take a single step up the stairs. She sat down on the steps nearby, trembling as she reached for her phone to open the news app with her shaking hands.

The homepage featured a memorial service and commendation ceremony for a fallen narcotics officer, but she didn't look at it, simply skimming past it because it felt too distant from her.

She had never encountered this in her daily life, and even at work, she had never handled cases like this, so she paid little attention. As she scrolled down the page again, she suddenly scrolled back up because the picture just showed drug enforcement officer Ding Zhi.

Narcotics Police Officer Ding Zhi

Her mind went blank. The man looking at her was thin and wiry, his face sullen, his eyes sharp like an eagle's. Ding Zhi A drug policeman

Did he sacrifice himself

He sacrificed!

Her brain felt like it had been hit with the pause button. It was frozen, unable to think, just repeating those two phrases over and over again.

Lán Xiāoshān happened to be passing by her side. Seeing her pale face sitting on the steps, he hurriedly asked

“Is Mr. Shu okay Is he sick”

Shu Tinglan was reminded by him and came to his senses. Then, he looked up and saw Zhu Yu'an rushing over.

Her tears fell instantly, and she disregarded the surprised looks from the crowd. She dashed down the steps in three strides.

"Watch out for the steps," Zhu Yu'an hurriedly stopped her, afraid she would fall.

The person had already plunged into his arms, and the voice that came out was trembling.

“Ding Zhi is dead!” Her nightmare was coming true.

Zhuo Yu'an hugged her tightly, patting her back gently and repeatedly, comforting her.

“I know, I know.”

"Wasn't Yi Muyang..." Before she could finish her sentence, Zhuo Yu'an interrupted her urgently:

"No, he's safe."

He left with Ding Zhi, he's always been with Ding Zhi, they even went to Yunnan together before. How could I be so foolish, he came back covered in injuries then, I really thought it was just poachers, an accident. She murmured to herself, not even knowing what she was saying.

But deep down, I already knew that Yi Muyang was in grave danger. Otherwise, the police wouldn't have exposed Ding Zhi's identity.

Lan Xiaoshan didn't know what they were talking about, but she kindly reminded: "President Zhuo, would you like to take Lawyer Shu to the rest room for a break" She looked out of sorts.

"No need, Lawyer Lan, I apologize. Listen has taken leave today to return home." And with that, she left with Shu Tinglan.

Lead her into the car, buckle her seatbelt for her. She keeps looking down at her phone, scrolling through the news.

A comprehensive report on Ding Zhi's life and deeds.

Graduated from the police academy at age 18, he was initially assigned to protect wildlife in the Sanjiangyuan region. Due to his sharp senses, perseverance, excellent physical fitness, and wilderness survival skills, he caught the attention of the drug enforcement team and subsequently transferred to the drug squad.

For the cause of drug control, he broke up with his girlfriend he liked, and could not return home for life. He spent a full 16 years as an undercover narcotics officer, assisting police in cracking dozens of major and minor cases, making a huge contribution to the drug control cause.

In the last mission, due to misjudgment of information, his identity was exposed and he met a tragic end at the hands of assassins. His life was forever frozen on the eve of his 40th birthday.

Shutinglan brushed her phone while tears streamed down her face. At Ding Zhi's memorial service, besides his portrait which was clear, all the other attending police officers were pixelated. They had to protect their identities and prevent criminals from targeting them.

She looked for a while, then raised her head to look at Zhu Yu'an in the driver's seat.

“How could he be a police officer”

She had always had a bad impression of Ding, thinking he was too gloomy and preoccupied with his thoughts, making him difficult to get along with. Now she understands that he was burdened with responsibility and surviving in the midst of gunfire and chaos, so he became calm and taciturn. It is precisely because of their dedication that they have a peaceful life.

In the news reports, it was stated that he died on his last mission, but was this last mission a success or a failure Where is Yimu Yang now

Zhuo Yu'an knew her confusion, he glanced at her.

"Are you feeling better now"

"Well, it's fine now." It was just a bit of a shock earlier.he last few words were pure comfort. Judging by the tremors, it definitely wasn't small. It was just sudden, and the magnitude hadn't been officially released yet."Well, be careful yourself."Gu Ruando...
