Chapter 194: Rescue, Escape
After waiting for a few seconds, Gao Shuwei said, "Keep an eye on Wu Yehao and his men. If they try to investigate the matter, eliminate them all."
After giving the order, Gao Shuwei leaned back in his chair and stared out through the floor- to-ceiling windows. His cold eyes showed a hint of boredom as he gazed at the snow-covered world outside.
In the silence of the meeting room, his cold voice echoed after a while, "It seems I need to speed up the plan. I can't let those dogs interfere with my plan."
Back in Juncheng City, after the soldiers questioned the residents, they stationed a few to patrol the area and returned to the base. Before leaving, Li Zhen went to find Long Yu and the others.
He looked at his former Captain and teammates and asked, "Captain, you don't plan to go back to the military? Commander Xu is still waiting for you to return."
Long Yu shook his head and said, "I don't have that plan for now."
Hearing his negative answer, Li Zhen felt sad, but he couldn't force Long Yu to return. He smiled and said, "Captain, we'll be waiting for you."
After that, he looked at Shi Xuan and the others and said, "I'll come find you guys when I have some free time."
Shi Xuan handed Li Zhen a backpack and said, "There's medicine and some food inside. Share it with our brothers."
Li Zhen stared at the bulging backpack for a moment and said, "Thank you, Brother Xuan." Shi Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "We are brothers. There is no need to say polite words. Just come to us when you need help."
Li Zhen nodded, shouldered the backpack, and left with the other soldiers. Long Yu and the others stood there until Li Zhen was out of sight, then returned home.
That night, a group of people snuck into the Ling Yuan apartment complex. Jiang Chen and his teammates had already scouted the area and quickly found the way to Building 3 while avoiding the soldiers.
As the door opened, he asked, "Why are you here so late today?"
"Are you waiting for someone?" Jiang Chen asked, stepping into the living room.
Seeing his friend yawning sleepily, Jiang Chen's lips twitched. He walked over to Yao Yuechuan, untied the ropes, and said, "I'm here to rescue you. Commander Fu wants us back as soon as possible."
Yao Yuechuan rubbed his wrists and said, "Brother Chen, do you have a pen and paper?"
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you think I carry those things?"
Since Jiang Chen didn't have a pen or paper, Yao Yuechuan looked around for something to use. After searching, he gave up-there was nothing suitable to write with.
He turned to Jiang Chen and said, "Lend me your dagger."
Jiang Chen drew his military dagger and handed it over. He looked at Yao Yuechuan and curiously asked, "What do you need it for?"
Yao Yuechuan used the dagger to carve a message into the wall. When he finished, he grinned at Jiang Chen and said, "Leaving a message for my younger sister."
Jiang Chen glanced at the short message on the wall, then at Yao Yuechuan. He took back his dagger and said, "We can't stay here for too long. Let's go."
Before leaving, Yao Yuechuan placed his platinum silver badge on the floor. Smiling, he said, "I will come back for you after I deal with that bastard Gao Shuwei."
After that, he followed Jiang Chen, and they left the Ling Yuan apartment complex without alerting the patrolling soldiers.
The next morning, Yao Ran went to unit 1903 to deliver food, water, and a portable heater for Yao Yuechuan. When she saw the glassless windows, she knew someone had broken in. Opening the door, Yao Ran didn't see Yao Yuechuan. She scanned the living room, and when she noticed the message on the wall and the badge on the floor, she walked up to the badge. [I will find you after I deal with that bastard.]
