Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 76: She Was Abducted! His Eyes Turned Red, Trading My Life for Hers!
The sky was just getting light.
Gu Yanshen, along with five elite soldiers, had been squatting on the outskirts of the village for three hours.
"Report, Commander, target sighted."
The soldier spoke in a low voice.
Gu Yanshen picked up the binoculars.
Three black cars stopped at the village entrance, six people got out, each holding something in their hands.
"Split into two groups, one come with me into the village, the other block the escape route."
"Yes."
They silently sneaked into the village.
The mud house where Wang Qiang was hiding was far inside, dilapidated, the windows nailed shut with wooden planks.
Gu Yanshen just reached the doorway.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
A bullet grazed past his shoulder.
"It’s an ambush!"
The soldier immediately raised his gun.
"Don’t shoot!"
Gu Yanshen shouted.
"Wang Qiang might still be inside!"
Just as he spoke, the door of the mud house was suddenly kicked open.
A man was dragging Wang Qiang out, a gun pressed against Wang Qiang’s temple.
"Nobody move!"
The man, with a fierce face, looked like a desperado.
"Back off! All of you back off!"
The soldiers held their guns, not daring to act rashly.
Wang Qiang was beaten badly, his face bruised, a rag stuffed in his mouth, his eyes filled with despair.
Gu Yanshen took a step forward.
"What do you want?"
"I want your car!"
The rough-faced man shouted.
"Throw the car keys over!"
Gu Yanshen took the keys out of his pocket.
"Catch."
He threw them forcefully.
The keys drew an arc in the air.
The rough-faced man instinctively looked.
In that instant.
Gu Yanshen moved.
He launched himself like an arrow from a bow, covering three steps to the rough-faced man, a sweeping kick sending the man’s gun flying.
Then a chop landed on the man’s neck.
The rough-faced man collapsed to the ground.
Less than three seconds passed in total.
The soldiers immediately surged forward to secure the others.
Gu Yanshen helped Wang Qiang up, tearing the rag from his mouth.
"Commander..."
Wang Qiang cried.
"I... I finally waited for you..."
He was trembling all over.
Gu Yanshen tightened his grip.
Wang Qiang gasped for air.
"I felt guilty afterwards... wanted to surrender... ended up being hunted... had to hide here..."
He took out a shabby envelope from his chest.
"These are... the transaction records from back then... and... recordings..."
Gu Yanshen took the envelope.
He opened it, inside were several bank transfer slips and a tape recording.
"Commander... there’s one more thing..."
Wang Qiang’s voice trembled.
"Back then, it wasn’t just Miss Lin’s water... your wine... was tampered with too..."
Gu Yanshen’s movement stopped.
"What?"
"It’s a drug that makes you lose your sanity... That night, you drank the wine and so... so you..."
Wang Qiang couldn’t continue.
Gu Yanshen closed his eyes.
He suddenly turned around, and punched the wall beside him.
The earthen wall cracked with a dent.
"They set both of us up!"
He picked up the phone.
"Connect me to the office."
The call quickly connected.
"Dad, the evidence is solid."
Silence on the other end for a few seconds.
"Where are you?"
"Southern Mountain Village, just rescued Wang Qiang."
"Good, bring the witness and evidence back immediately."
Gu Yanshen hung up the phone.
He turned to face the soldiers.
"Bring everyone, head back immediately."
"Yes!"
Meanwhile.
Beijing, Qian Weiguo’s office.
"Report, the operation failed, Wang Qiang was rescued."
The subordinate reported nervously.
Qian Weiguo sat in his chair, silent.
He played with the teacup in his hand, expressionless.
After a long while.
He suddenly laughed.
"Failed?"
"Y-yes..."
"Very well."
Qian Weiguo stood up.
"If the covert doesn’t work, we’ll do it openly."
He walked to the safe, entered the password, and took out a file.
"Initiate Plan B."
"Control Lin Wan Yi."
The subordinate hesitated for a moment.
"But... she’s at the guesthouse now, under protection..."
"Protection?"
Qian Weiguo sneered.
"After all these years, do I need to worry to take action against one person?"
He picked up the phone.
"Old Zhang, it’s me."
"Yes, it’s that matter."
"Right, tonight, it must be done."
He hung up the phone, looking out the window.
"Gu Yanshen, you think rescuing Wang Qiang is victory?"
"I’ll show you what it means to wish for death rather than life."
Military district guesthouse.
Lin Wan Yi had just finished dinner.
The guard outside the door knocked.
"Mrs. Lin, the kitchen sent some bird’s nest, said to be specifically instructed by the brigade commander’s wife."
Lin Wan Yi walked to the door.
"Leave it on the table."
"Yes."
The guard brought the tray in, placing the bird’s nest on the table.
Lin Wan Yi glanced at it.
"Thank you."
"It’s my duty."
The guard turned to leave.
Just then.
"Wait a moment."
Lin Wan Yi called him back.
"What is it?"
The guard turned around.
Lin Wan Yi stared at his face.
"You’re not the guard from this morning."
The guard’s expression froze.
"The one from this morning felt unwell, I’m here for the shift."
"Is that so?"
Lin Wan Yi stepped back.
"What’s your name?"
The guard didn’t answer.
He suddenly lunged forward, covering Lin Wan Yi’s mouth.
Lin Wan Yi struggled desperately.
"Mmm—!"
She kicked at his shin.
The fake guard winced, loosening his grip.
Lin Wan Yi immediately ran for the door.
But the door was already blocked by another person.
"Mrs. Lin, don’t waste your energy."
The man smiled grimly.
"Tonight, you have to come with us."
Lin Wan Yi stepped back and bumped into the table.
Her hand touched the kettle on the table.
"Are you people from Qian Weiguo?"
The two did not deny it.
"Smart."
The fake guard pulled out a handkerchief.
"Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you; we just want you to go somewhere."
"Dream on!"
Lin Wan Yi grabbed the kettle and splashed it at them.
"Ah—!"
One person got scalded and screamed in pain.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Lin Wan Yi ran towards the window.
She just opened the window.
A pain hit the back of her head.
Her vision went black.
She collapsed.
The fake guard supported their scalded partner.
"Hurry, go!"
The two lifted Lin Wan Yi and climbed out through the back window.
In the yard, two real guards lay on the ground, blood pooling around them.
Ten minutes later.
The phone in the commander’s office rang.
"Reporting to the Commander! There’s been an incident at the guesthouse!"
"Mrs. Lin has been kidnapped! Two guards are critically injured!"
The commander shot up from his seat.
"What?!"
"Check the surveillance!"
"Call Gu Yanshen!"
"Yes!"
Half an hour later.
In the military vehicle on the way back.
The phone rang.
Gu Yanshen picked up.
"Yanshen, something happened to Wanyi!"
It was the commander’s voice.
Gu Yanshen’s face instantly turned pale.
"What?"
"She was kidnapped by Qian Weiguo’s people, two guards are critically injured and are still being resuscitated."
"We checked the surveillance and found that they left through the back door using a military district vehicle, and have already exited the gate."
Gu Yanshen’s hand clenched the phone, his knuckles turning white.
"Commander, I’m heading back right now."
"Alright, I’ve already ordered a city-wide search, we will definitely find her."
Gu Yanshen hung up the phone.
He closed his eyes for a moment.
When he opened them again, his eyes were bloodshot.
"Speed up, return to the military district at full speed."
"Yes!"
The military vehicle sped through the night.
Three in the morning.
He rushed out of the car, heading straight for the guesthouse.
From afar, he saw a police line at the entrance of the guesthouse.
On the steps outside, there were two pools of blood, already coagulated.
His steps halted.
"Yanshen..."
The commander approached.
"We’ve already sent everyone we can to search, we will definitely..."
"Where is she."
Gu Yanshen interrupted him.
His voice was soft, yet chilling.
"We’re still investigating; the surveillance shows they left in a military car but changed vehicles after exiting the city, now..."
"I asked where she is."
Gu Yanshen’s eyes were bloodshot.
The commander fell silent.
Just then.
A guard ran over.
"Reporting to the Commander! We’ve just received a letter!"
"What letter?"
"The sender is Qian Weiguo!"
The commander took the letter and opened it.
Inside was just a piece of paper with a single line.
"If you want her, exchange Wang Qiang and the evidence. Tomorrow at noon, the abandoned factory outside the city. Only Gu Yanshen is to come."
The commander finished reading, his face ashen.
"It’s a trap!"
"They want to wipe us out in one go!"
Gu Yanshen took the letter from his hand.
After reading it, he turned to leave.
"Yanshen! Where are you going?"
The commander caught up.
"To exchange her."
"Are you crazy?! It’s obviously a trap!"
Gu Yanshen paused.
He turned back to look at the commander.
"Commander, if it were your wife who was taken, would you go?"
The commander was taken aback.
Gu Yanshen didn’t wait for his answer.
"I would."
He strode off.
His silhouette straight, yet filled with determination.
The commander stood still, watching him disappear into the night.
Political Commissioner Chen came over.
"Commander, we..."
"Mobilize all available forces."
The commander’s voice was heavy.
"Tomorrow at noon, surround the abandoned factory."
"If Gu Yanshen is going to die, we’ll take those bastards down with us."
"Yes!"
Four in the morning.
In an abandoned warehouse somewhere outside the city.
Lin Wan Yi woke up.
She found herself tied to a chair, unable to move her hands or feet.
The warehouse was dimly lit, with only a single yellow lamp.
"Awake?"
A voice came from the darkness.
A man walked out.
In his fifties, wearing a military uniform,
Qian Weiguo.
Lin Wan Yi looked at him, saying nothing.
"Miss Lin, it’s nice to meet you."
Qian Weiguo smiled.
"But I’m not unfamiliar with you."
"Three years ago, it was a plan I personally designed."
"Your father agreed very readily."
Lin Wan Yi’s gaze was as cold as a knife.
"What do you want."
"I want Gu Yanshen dead."
Qian Weiguo approached her.
"He saved Wang Qiang, obtained the evidence, and now I’m cornered."
"Since that’s the case, I might as well take someone down with me."
He leaned down.
"Tell me, will Gu Yanshen come to die for you?"
Lin Wan Yi stared at him.
"He will."
"That’s truly unfortunate."
Qian Weiguo straightened up.
"Since you two have such a deep bond, let’s die together."
He turned and left.
"Enjoy your last moments."
The door to the warehouse closed.
Only Lin Wan Yi was left.
She lowered her head, looking at her slightly swollen belly.
"I’m sorry, baby."
"It’s Mom who failed to protect you."
