Imperial Treasure-Chapter 702 - 438: Fifteen Minutes_2
Someone once described the Imperial Guards like this.
— If three people were kidnapped, one a crucial official and the other two were his parents, and there was only a momentary chance to make a life-or-death decision, the Imperial Guards sent to rescue would choose the official in the first second.
Even if it’s 0.9 seconds of living hell, the choice in the last 0.1 second must be unanimous.
This is the Imperial Guards.
Born for this nation, and must also die for this nation.
Su Zimu was the person Ming Lanyuan decided to give up in the painful 0.9 seconds and chose in the 0.1 second.
Because she was an Imperial Guard.
The atmosphere was getting colder, and differences had already formed when Sui Yi’s phone rang.
Sui Yi hadn’t even unlocked it when the phone automatically answered and switched to speaker mode.
"Sui Yi, you’re even more impressive than I imagined. Pu Qinghan remembered 37°28, while Xiao Xianting remembered 34°55′, 116°35′. Everyone knows the coordinates given by Xiao Xianting must be wrong—a subconscious belief that he provided false coordinates, or perhaps you would investigate the opposite... But combining it back with what Pu Qinghan provided... Pu Qinghan remembered wasn’t the east longitude but the north latitude, only half of Xiao Xianting’s coordinates were correct, which was 116°35′. Together it’s: East Longitude: 37°28, North Latitude: 116°35′. So the place is... "
Jinghua University!
Ming Lanyuan looked across—at the grand college campus right in front of them? This trap was... smeared all over their faces with blood!
"You’re telling me all this—are you trying to delay me, or are you telling me that you’ve already captured them?" Sui Yi spoke with an indifferent tone, devoid of emotion.
The person on the other end of the phone chuckled softly, "I just wanted to praise your sharp reaction. You pinpointed the location so quickly... and got a step ahead by letting your men take the weapons... But no worries, we still have Su Zimu in our hands... and your people and the weapons are still inside the school..."
This statement revealed significant information: first, Sui Yi had already had someone take the weapons!
Ming Lanyuan gave Sui Yi a deep look. What a formidable person, snatching the prize right from under their noses in their match...
And all without a sound, only now did they come to know—clearly MEID had only just found out.
But danger had also arrived.
"By the way, I’d also like to tell you... although I’m grateful you put in such effort to find the weapons for us, now it’s time to present them to us... if you still want to see Su Zimu cook for you another time... "
Hmph, Sui Yi finally furrowed his brow. Why were both parties so fixated on him having a meal at Su Zimu’s place? What a strange obsession...
But it also revealed something else.
— They couldn’t find Yhan Qingwu and the other person with the weapons. Jinghua University is too large, too crowded; they weren’t even sure who had the weapons or if they had been hidden again...
Ming Lanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sui Yi with some silence...
The choice was ultimately back in his hands.
After a moment of silence, Sui Yi said, "There are fifteen minutes left."
"What?" the other side asked back.
"The time you gave me before, there’s still fifteen minutes left. Now, are you planning to break the previous agreement?"
"Heh, you’re serious about your attitude... but the power to make agreements has always been in the hands of those with conditions, and you..."
"If I don’t see Su Zimu safe and sound in front of me within fifteen minutes, this weapon will end up in official hands, and I will ensure its safety..."
After speaking, Sui Yi hung up the phone.
He glanced at Ming Lanyuan, her expression shallow and indistinct; she gestured dismissively: "I think the priority now is to send Miss Pu back to Villa No. 1... after all, it’s on the same road."
Two people with Inner Strength cultivation of four to five hundred years escorting a normal person along the roofs was all too easy; within less than a minute, they were back at Villa No. 1...
However, Sui Yi and Ming Lanyuan didn’t even enter the villa but left, leaving Pu Qinghan to run inside alone...
In fact, within that minute, Ming Lanyuan had already used a phone she had smoothly taken from a man in black to contact Yi Chilian...
As Yi Chilian and others were about to leave the villa to head to Jinghua University, Sui Yi and Ming Lanyuan were already standing at the crossroads separating the villa district from Jinghua University district...
Unfortunately, while they could traverse rooftops and move through the woods like specters in the night, they simply could not use their Qinggong to soar out amidst busy vehicular traffic...
