Capítulo 1569: Chapter 1533: Another Major Trap
“Song Xiaodong!” Lu Lang’s call ca through, and his voice carried a tone of seriousness and urgency.
“Senior Officer, what’s going on?” Song Xiaodong asked imdiately.
“Sothing major has happened, and you must step in. General Zhao Ruonan is now in grave danger and urgently needs rescue. However, the military is no longer in a position to intervene, and the Zhao Family’s dispatched people have suffered heavy losses, so we need a top-level expert like you to take action.”
Song Xiaodong frowned and said, “With General Zhao Ruonan’s identity and status, how could she be in danger?”
General Zhao Ruonan is a general, after all, so it’s unlikely she’d be on the front lines for any mission, making this situation seem unusual to Song Xiaodong.
“General Zhao’s outing was initially just a routine military visit, but privately, there were so special activities. As a result, the other side noticed and dispatched a large force to encircle them in a dense forest. Due to the confidential nature of the mission, we cannot send a large-scale force for rescue. Right now, what’s in General Zhao’s possession is extrely important. If retrieved, it would elevate our military strength to a new level.”
Song Xiaodong asked, “Can we confirm she’s still alive?”
“Just over two hours ago, we received a ssage from a Zhao Family expert confirming that General Zhao Ruonan is alive. However, only three of the Zhao Family’s guards are still surviving, and it’s unclear how long they can hold on, especially given that the other side has many experts too.”
Song Xiaodong thought for a mont and said, “Alright, I’ll go.”
“This ti, it’s not just you going; Chu Xianling will also take Chu Family experts along, so I hope you can bring a few people too; otherwise, I’m afraid we won’t be strong enough and it would be futile.”
Song Xiaodong said, “No problem.”
After hanging up the phone, Song Xiaodong imdiately contacted Song Hu and Su Zhentian. These two have the strongest abilities in the Su Family, and it was the perfect opportunity to have them experience real life-and-death combat.
As for experts like Su Yiyi and Su Yuya, Song Xiaodong was not willing to take them along. Even if they’re strong, they haven’t been on a battlefield, which made Song Xiaodong uneasy.
As a man, it’s a natural instinct to protect your own won, and everyone has their own personal motives—how could he let his won take such risks?
Arriving at Minghe’s military district, they boarded a military helicopter and rushed to Beijing at top speed, where everything was already prepared.
Chu Xianling, along with four Chu Family experts, were already waiting for him. Chu Xianling was dressed in camouflage at the ti, concealing her ethereal aura and adding a heroic spirit.
Chu Xianling said, “Mr. Song, ti is tight, let’s set off quickly; we can talk on the way.”
Song Xiaodong nodded, and they boarded another military plane.
“The last location sent by Ruonan was in the Golden Triangle area.”
Song Xiaodong said, “The location is indeed very chaotic; I’ve been there several tis. Moreover, the tropical rainforest environnt is quite harsh, but the harsh environnt might actually be more beneficial for their survival.”
Chu Xianling said, “But we also can’t afford any delays.”
Song Xiaodong said, “But what I’m most worried about now is that this might be a trap.”
“A trap?” Chu Xianling looked at Song Xiaodong in confusion.
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “Right, I think it’s very possible. Just think, initially, General Zhao didn’t bring high-level troops. In such a case, she still survived, which suggests the opposing force or strength wasn’t strong enough. Then, when the Zhao Family sent reinforcents, they were all experts. They should have been able to rescue her easily, and yet they’re still in such a dangerous situation. Doesn’t it look like a trap?”
Chu Xianling frowned and said, “Not necessarily. Perhaps the opposing side didn’t deploy those experts at first. When the Zhao Family experts arrived, they also sent out experts, or when they saw the Zhao Family’s experts arrive, they began to reinforce their forces.”
Song Xiaodong shrugged and said, “If that’s the case, then it’s not too bad.”
Chu Xianling said, “And their goal should be the items Ruonan is carrying. Why set a trap? Do they want to deliberately lure us in? Ruonan’s influence should be greater than ours… oh, greater than mine. Could their target be you?”
Song Xiaodong nodded and said with a wry smile, “That’s not impossible either.”
“If their target is you, then I’m a bit curious. Going through so much trouble, neglecting soone like General Ruonan, do you have sothing even more enticing to them?”
“That would be my life, then.” Song Xiaodong shrugged. He strongly suspected that the Dark Night Sect was behind this incident.
By directly summoning the Dragon Gate mbers, the Dark Night Sect must be aware as well. Consequently, the Dark Night Sect would make targeted moves, and apart from him as the Young Master, dealing with him seems to be the most desired and straightforward action for the Dark Night Sect.
General Zhao Ruonan beca a lure to make Song Xiaodong co to the rescue. No matter who went, they would keep General Zhao Ruonan in a dangerous situation without killing her, forcing Song Xiaodong to appear.
“Wouldn’t it be very dangerous for you to go?” Chu Xianling furrowed her brow, looking at Song Xiaodong with concern.
Song Xiaodong said, “As a soldier, knowing that a Senior Officer is trapped in danger, how can I not rescue them? It’s my duty as a soldier.”
Chu Xianling shook her head and said, “Then we have to weigh the importance of things, see which is more valuable—your life or Ruonan’s—if your life is more valuable, we might as well just turn back now.”
