Imperial Treasure-Chapter 699 - 438: Fifteen Minutes_2

Someone once described the Imperial Guards like this.

"If three people were kidnapped, one being a key official crucial to the government and the other two being their parents, with only a moment to choose life or death, the Imperial Guards would choose the former in the first second."

Even if in the first 0.9 seconds they suffered immensely, the last 0.1 second must be consistent.

This is the Imperial Guards.

Born for this nation, they must also die for this nation.

Su Zimu was the person Ming Lanyuan chose to give up after 0.9 seconds of agony and a 0.1-second decision.

Because she was an Imperial Guard.

Just as the atmosphere was turning tense and differences were already forming, Sui Yi’s cellphone rang.

Before Sui Yi could answer, the phone automatically connected and went on speaker mode.

"Sui Yi, you turned out to be more formidable than I imagined. Pu Qinghan remembered 37°28, while Xiao Xianting remembered 34°55′, 116°35′. But everyone knows Xiao Xianting’s coordinates are definitely wrong. Subconsciously, one would think he gave false coordinates, or might even think of checking the reverse... yet they didn’t anticipate that when reversed, it would match the coordinates given by Pu Qinghan... What Pu Qinghan remembered was not the east longitude, but the north latitude. Xiao Xianting got only half right, which is 116°35′. When combined, the coordinates are east longitude: 37°28, north latitude: 116°35′... So, the place is..."

Jinghua University!!

Ming Lanyuan looked across... right at the grand and imposing university campus right in front?

This trap... smeared his face with blood!

"Are you saying all this to delay my time, or do you want to tell me they’ve already been captured by you?" Sui Yi asked in an indifferent tone, without a trace of emotion.

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled lightly, "I just want to compliment your keen response. You identified the location so quickly... and even got ahead by having your men take away the weapons... But no worries, we still have Su Zimu in our hands... And your people, along with the weapons, are still inside the school..."

This sentence revealed significant information: first, Sui Yi had already had the weapons taken away!

Ming Lanyuan looked at Sui Yi admiringly, what a formidable person! Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat amidst their fierce competition...

And all without making a sound, until now they only just found out—Obviously, MEID had just figured it out too.

But the danger had also arrived.

"By the way, I also want to tell you... Although I am very grateful for how hard you worked to find the location of the weapons for us, now, it’s time to turn them over to us... if you still want to see Su Zimu cook one more meal for you..."

Well... Sui Yi finally furrowed his brows, why were both parties so obsessed with him having meal at Su Zimu’s house... what a strange fixation...

But it also revealed something.

—They couldn’t find Yhan Qingwu and the weapons in Jinghua University; the university was too big, with too many people. They weren’t even sure who exactly was holding the weapons or if they had been hidden again...

Ming Lanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sui Yi, somewhat silently...

Ultimately, the choice had returned to this person’s hands.

After a moment of silence, Sui Yi said, "There are still fifteen minutes left."

"What?" the other party asked in return.

"The time you gave me before has fifteen minutes left. Now, are you planning to break the initial agreement?"

"Heh, you’re quite serious... But the power to make agreements has always been in the hands of those who have the conditions, and you..."

"If I don’t see Su Zimu unharmed and standing in front of me within fifteen minutes, the weapon will end up in official hands, and I will ensure its safe escort..."

After saying this, Sui Yi abruptly hung up the phone.

He gave Ming Lanyuan a glance, that gaze shallow and pale, and the latter gestured, "I think right now the most important thing is to get Miss Pu back to Villa No. 1... after all, it’s on the same route."

For two people with an inner strength cultivation level of four to five hundred years, carrying a common person and moving along roofs and walls was incredibly easy; in less than a minute, they were back at Villa No. 1...

But Sui Yi and Ming Lanyuan didn’t even enter the gate and left, leaving Pu Qinghan to run inside by himself...

In fact, within that minute, Ming Lanyuan had already used a phone he had skillfully taken from a man in black to contact Yi Chilian... 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

While Yi Chilian and others were arranging deployment and about to leave the villa for Jinghua University, Sui Yi and Ming Lanyuan were already standing at the crossroads separating the villa area from the Jinghua University area...

Unfortunately, although they could move swiftly over rooftops and ghost through forested paths during the night, they simply couldn’t use their Qinggong to fly directly out in the presence of busy vehicle traffic...
