“Lung cancer is a disease that is impossible to cure. I have a way to concoct a medicine, but I cannot guarantee its effect.”
“Various side effects will inevitably occur during the process. Some of which might be life-threatening.”
“I am sure you don’t want to gamble with your life, right?”
Qiu Tong convinced Dina with just a few words. She raised her eyebrows and stared at Yu Ge. “I have some past grudges with him. I can vent my anger in this way.”
“You don’t mind, do you?”
Dina narrowed his eyes and gestured for his subordinates to untie Qiu Tong.
Yu Ge sensed that something was wrong. He hurriedly got up and wanted to escape, but he had only taken two steps when he was grabbed by Dina.
Dina’s men tied him to the stone pillar naked. Qiu Tong rubbed her wrists and walked to the counter with a smile when she saw Yu Ge’s pitiful look. Dina prepared all kinds of chemicals according to her request. His eyes were filled with suspicion as he held the pistol and pressed it against Qiu Tong’s temple.
“You better not play any tricks. As long as you can cure me, I promise to release you.”
“I’ll even give you a considerable sum of money.”
As Qiu Tong swirled a vial, she recalled the composition of a poison that could numb the nerves. She slowly concocted it.
She turned to look at Dina. “Of course,” she said, a smile lighting up her features. “I’ll do my best.”
…
In the villa, Jin Yang played a game with Qiu Xingyu. He looked at the clock hanging on the wall uneasily.
It had been nearly three hours since Qiu Tong left the house to throw the trash. At first, Jin Yang thought that she was hiding outside to have some peace and quiet, but now, something felt not quite right.
He calmed the children and said to Song Yan, “Take care of them…”
Jin Yang was wearing a windbreaker as he searched for Qiu Tong. He cupped his hand around his mouth and shouted Qiu Tong’s name, but there was no response.
Two stray cats by a bench meowed when they saw him.
Jin Yang looked at the two cans of cat food and realized that there were signs of an unfamiliar car tire passing near the trash can. He immediately instructed his bodyguards to check the surveillance cameras nearby. When he saw the image of Qiu Tong being kidnapped, he said in a low and murderous voice, “Find this car!”
“Yes.”
The presidential guards immediately left. Jin Yang returned home with a dark expression. Song Yan realized that he was in a bad mood. “What’s wrong?”
“Qiu Tong has been kidnapped.”
Jin Yang walked to a corner of the kitchen with him and whispered to him.
Song Yan frowned and asked about the situation. Jin Yang sent him the surveillance footage. At this moment, the two of them were on the same side and cooperated well.
“This car has a dummy license plate. There’s no way to find and track it based on the license plate number.”
“If your presidential guards contact the relevant departments about this, they will cause too much commotion. People at the capital will be alerted. Leave this to me…”
“I’ll find her.”
With that, Song Yan rushed out the door. Jin Yang looked at his back profile, his heart filled with indescribable complicated emotions.
Qiu Xingyuan heard the loud sound of the door closing. He looked at Jin Yang’s slightly grave expression and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
Jin Yang forced a smile and sat beside them. He tried his best to speak in a gentle tone, “We had some conflict. Don’t worry.”
…
In the abandoned factory, Qiu Tong shook the pink test tube and used the syringe to extract the liquid. She slowly walked towards Yu Ge.
Yu Ge was so afraid that he twisted his body. He resisted and tried to break free. The skin on his wrist was grinded by a rough hemp rope, cutting into his flesh.
Dina ordered his subordinates to hold him down and let Qiu Tong inject the liquid into Yu Ge’s body.
A few seconds later, Yu Ge collapsed to the ground, twitching. He rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth. His tragic appearance frightened the surrounding people.
Dina pointed his pistol at Qiu Tong. “You tricked me!”
“Maybe there’s a problem with the ratio. I’ll continue…”
Qiu Tong returned to the counter and frowned secretly. She wondered why Jin Yang and Song Yan had not found this place yet. Would she really have to use her supernatural power to save Dina? At the thought of this, Qiu Tong’s hands trembled and she spilled two drops of the medicine on the ground.
White smoke rose from the cement ground. Dina ordered his subordinates to subdue Qiu Tong.
“Tell me the formula, I’ll get someone else to concoct it!”
Dina was completely restraining Qiu Tong’s freedom now. She had no choice but to fabricate a formula and try to stall for time.
…
Beep beep—
There was a text message on Jin Yang’s phone. It was from Song Yan. “Found her.”
He immediately left the villa and arranged for Ke Le and the other mercenaries to take care of the children. They drove to the abandoned factory.
The guards who had gone in advance to scout the situation first reported the status quo to them. “More than 20 terrorists led by Dina are in the factory. They rotate the guards outside every 10 minutes. It’s difficult to approach.”
“We have no way of figuring out the terrain inside and where Miss Qiu is.”
“If we attack rashly, we might accidentally injure her. Mr. President, please instruct us…”
Song Yan looked at the sky and said in an extremely cold voice, “If we delay any longer, it will probably be even more difficult when it gets dark!”
