"Who are you?"
Zhang Shanni was soothing the fetus in her womb when she suddenly felt sothing was amiss. The military car was driving slowly, but after more than twenty minutes, it surely should have reached the county town by now.
However, in reality, when Zhang Shanni opened her eyes to take a look, the car was still traveling on the highway, but it wasn’t approaching the city; on the contrary, it was getting closer to the desolate mountains and wild ridges!
Zhang Shanni suppressed her shock, calmly asking with a composed face.
"Hehe, Madam Xie need not worry. I’m simply a stand-in driver, we will arrive soon, and you will definitely et the mastermind behind this."
Zhang Shanni looked at the car speeding along and then compared it to the steep and bumpy road, only to cast a silent side glance at the other person,
"Heh, you’ve worked hard for such an elaborate drama. Surely you didn’t just want to et with for a simple reason, right? Oh, right, Qi Chunlan must have been lured by you as well..."
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a coincidence.
Thinking of Qi Chunlan’s emotionally uncontrollable yelling and screaming, Yan Jinsi must definitely have fallen ill, and might also be the work of these people! This series of interlinked traps targeted at her—
Zhang Shanni did not feel she was important enough to warrant such attention... It couldn’t possibly be for her! Only Qi Chunlan would be foolish enough to believe that these desperados would really honor any agreent to send her back to save Yan Jinsi?
It seems that Yan Jinsi’s health condition is very grim, and hence, Qi Chunlan really wants her dead!
Another point, Zhang Shanni didn’t need to think deeply to know that this was a "lure the tiger away from the mountain" tactic.
By abducting her, her husband would surely be lured out by them.
So the speculations she and her man made last night, eight or nine out of ten, were correct.
"Madam Xie, there is no need to probe anymore; in fact, I’m just a runner and know nothing." Little Rong said helplessly.
Because he had not yet been exposed to the people on Rong Fang’s side, so he was assigned the task of this ’baiting the snake out of its hole.’
But at the sa ti, it also ant that his military career had co to an end.
What a pity.
"Where are you taking ?" Zhang Shanni, seeing the increasingly remote mountain road, furrowed her brows.
"Madam Xie, for this operation, our organization dispatched four military cars to delay the ti. This ti, quite a few covert operatives have been exposed." Little Rong chuckled lightly as he responded:
"As to how long it will take Rongwei Chief to find you, that is not sothing we can decide."
"So, this whole mastermind wanting to see was just to fool ?"
"Uh... Worthy of being Vice Rongwei Commander Xie’s wife, you imdiately figured out our intentions."
"..." Zhang Shanni rolled her eyes.
Little Rong was countered by Zhang Shanni’s retort and dared not speak carelessly anymore, instead focusing on driving seriously.
Zhang Shanni, under the guise of yawning, fed herself several drops of Spirit Core Water. Along the way, to leave tracking marks for her husband, her spiritual power was being consud too quickly.
On the other side, Little Rong, who had been waiting a long ti for the boss’s sister-in-law to return and had not seen a sign of her half an hour later as planned, imdiately felt sothing was off. Turning around, he made a phone call back to the base to confirm.
After finding out that the boss’s sister-in-law had left an hour ago, he was shocked and without any hesitation, hung up the phone and called Tanning Temple.
At this mont, Xie Jingchen was standing high up, looking far into the distance at the ’Holy Peach Tree,’ his heart slowly processing the words spoken by his little wife last night.
The future, apocalypse, Space, hehe, the experiences of his little wife are truly... heartbreaking.
Just when he decided to double the pampering of her, his subordinate hurried over, "Boss, Station Six reports that the big sister-in-law has disappeared!"
Xie Jingchen’s eyes split with rage, his teeth clenched as he said, "When was it discovered?"
This morning, his little wife was still coquettishly teasing him in his embrace, and now she’s vanished? That could only an there was a problem with the military car leaving the base!
Because earlier, he had received a phone call telling him that Qi Chunlan had made a fuss at the base. Knowing that his little wife was escorted safely away by her subordinates, he resisted the impulse to charge back to the base.
With thoughts churning in his heart, Xie Jingchen was already striding rapidly towards the office located at the foot of the mountain.
No. 19, the one in charge of guarding Station Six, was on the phone at this mont. Hearing the boss’s chilling voice, his heart fluttered with fear, and he imdiately reported everything he had found out in full detail.
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingchen realized that more than an hour had already passed!
And just at this ti, Yan Jinchang ca running over, drenched in sweat, "Boss, what’s going on today? You’re running all over the place and kept paging , had running around blindly all morning!"
anwhile, on the other end of the phone, No. 19 had almost finished reporting everything he knew:
"It was because Yan Commander’s mother made a scene at the residential building, and was taken away by Ji Rongwei. Now, Lady Qi has already been suppressed by Rongfang forces in the base, and they’re contacting Yan Commander."
"Control her, I’m heading back to the base imdiately!"
"Yes, boss." No. 19 heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he wasn’t being held accountable, and imdiately relayed the information back to the base before turning back to Station Six.
His task was to secretly guard Station Six.
"Boss, what’s, what’s wrong?" Yan Jinchang saw his brother-in-law glaring at him with a savage and brutal look and asked with a trembling voice.
With a "thump," Xie Jingchen suddenly punched him in the abdon and whispered coldly in his ear, "Yan Jinchang, if anything happens to my wife, I’ll hold your Yan Family accountable!"
"Hissss..." Yan Jinchang clutched his abdon, trying to collapse but was held up by Xie Jingchen pinching his collarbone. His eyes widened, instinctively replying, "I... I would never hurt my sister!"
Xie Jingchen didn’t listen to him any further but instead pushed him away with a forceful shove, sending him crashing to the ground. He grabbed the phone and made several calls in rapid succession, listening to information and issuing orders, his eyes bloodshot red.
This ti, the enemy was clearly prepared, not only sending soone to ss with their sight but also creating several misleading trails. Now, just the known routes alone, there were four!
And amongst these, on which trail Zhang Shanni could be, was impossible to estimate!
Xie Jingchen decided to send his subordinates to search along all four trails straight away, even getting in touch with Director Hu from the military, instructing him to prepare an ambulance and set off with the mission.
Director Hu, upon hearing that sothing had happened to Zhang Shanni, couldn’t stay seated. He personally led a team of dical staff to rush over.
Xie Jingchen had already learned from Qi Chunlan’s mouth that their mission was to target him, so they definitely wouldn’t harm his own wife easily!
She was their bargaining chip.
At the sa ti, the entire Rong District was purging spies.
This ti, nearly ten ’Escape Rong Guards’ were exposed all at once, which could be described as ’a great disgrace’ for the military! The higher-ups took it seriously, initiating a comprehensive clean-up investigation of all military personnel.
The troops were now in a state of panic.
Yet, Xie Jingchen was still in Tanning Temple, where his little wife had been missing for over four hours. However, there was no progress in the matter. The target they claid was him, but wasn’t it also Tanning Temple?
At that mont, Xie Jingchen was standing in front of the Holy Peach Tree, caressing its trunk, "Tao Nu, Tao Nu, if you truly possess spirit, help find my wife... She’s disappeared."
The old peach tree had been paying close attention to the man who had accompanied the Spirit Lord yesterday. Upon hearing the word ’wife’, it imdiately knew he was referring to the Spirit Lord, and it was shocked. How could the Spirit Lord disappear?
"She’s been abducted by the bad guys, but there are too many routes, and I can’t determine which one she’s on! Do you have a way to confirm for which direction she’s in?"
Xie Jingchen was anxious, he had been to all four routes, but he could not sense his little wife’s presence!
They must have been too cunning; not only did they create four routes, but each route had traces of movent!
