Chapter 239 Inviting the enemy into the trap!

That evening, at the Gu family's courtyard.

Su Yue showed no surprise after hearing the news Gu Beixiao brought back.

She simply sat quietly under the lamp, a chilling glint flashing in her eyes.

Want a structural diagram?

Do you want to find the warehouse's ventilation ducts, or do you want to blow up the load-bearing wall directly?

Seriously, they're rushing here to their deaths.

Su Yue took a blank sheet of paper and a pen.

Without the slightest hesitation, she swiftly drew a highly professional-looking and meticulously labeled "warehouse structure diagram."

She deliberately drew a tiny, yet noticeable, mark in red on the southwest corner of the drawing, at a location labeled "core load-bearing column".

After finishing the drawing, she carefully folded the paper and handed it to Gu Beixiao.

"Give this 'treasure' to them."

Technician Sun handed the neatly folded "warehouse structure diagram" to the contact person. His hands were shaking so badly that he could barely hold the thin piece of paper.

Following Su Yue's instructions, he threw out the deadly bait in a nearly exhausted, tearful voice.

"They...they said that the day after tomorrow night, Su Yue and all the managers in the factory are going to the city for an important commendation meeting. That night, the factory's security...is at its most relaxed."

After saying that, he seemed to have all his strength drained away, and he slumped against the wall, panting heavily.

The contact person received the blueprints, confirmed the information, and without saying a word, turned and disappeared into the deep night.

The news quickly reached the inland areas.

In a dark and damp basement, Liu Jianye, the younger brother of Liu Jianjun, the former factory director of Baicaotang, was wiping a sharp dagger in front of a portrait.

The portrait is of Liu Jianjun, who recently died in prison.

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"

Liu Jianye's face was filled with a frenzied hatred.

He was originally just a lazy, idle thug who abused his power because of his brother's connections.

Now that his backer has fallen, his life has completely hit rock bottom.

He blamed all of this on Su Yue.

When his subordinates handed him the structural diagram and information about "Warehouse Zero" from Hainan Island, he was overjoyed.

"Going to the city for a meeting? The defenses are at their weakest?" Liu Jianye looked at the "core load-bearing column" marked in red on the blueprint and let out a grotesque laugh like an owl. "This is truly heaven's help! Su Yue, you little bitch, this time, I'll make sure you and the factory are reduced to ashes!"

He immediately gathered a few desperate thugs who followed him for a living and obtained enough high explosives from the black market to flatten half a mountain.

A devastating conspiracy was about to unfold.

Meanwhile, Su Yue was sitting in her study, calmly talking to Gu Beichen, who was far away at the border, on an encrypted phone.

"...Yes, the more manpower the better, and they must be elites. The public security department also needs to cooperate to form an encirclement on the outside, so that not even a fly can be let out."

Gu Beichen was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone. Although he did not know the specifics of his wife's plan, he chose to trust her unconditionally.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

A massive, coordinated operation by the military and public security forces was quietly set up around the pharmaceutical and medical equipment factory.

On the night of the operation, the darkness was as black as ink.

On a secluded slope outside the pharmaceutical factory, an inconspicuous jeep was parked.

Inside the car, Gu Beixiao and Chu Jingya were responsible for keeping watch on the outermost perimeter.

The sea breeze was cool at night, and Chu Jingya, wearing only a thin jacket, couldn't help but shrink her neck.

Gu Beixiao didn't say anything, but he took out a military green hot water bottle from the back seat and handed it over.

"Take it."

His movements were somewhat clumsy, and he still had that impatient tone.

Chu Jingya was stunned for a moment, then took it. The hot water bottle was still warm, and the warmth traveled from her fingertips all the way to her heart.

"Thanks……"

"Don't thank me!" Gu Beixiao interrupted her, his eyes looking out the window, but his ears were red. "Don't catch a cold and delay your sister-in-law's important business, or I won't let you off the hook!"

Chu Jingya lowered her head, hugging the hot water bottle, and didn't say anything more, but her heart felt as if it were filled with honey, sweet and tender.

Time passed by, second by second.

At midnight, three dark figures, like ghosts, silently appeared outside the factory's perimeter wall.

The leader was Liu Jianye.

They skillfully cut through the barbed wire, avoiding all the visible and hidden sentries; their agility was unlike that of ordinary thugs.

Liu Jianye unfolded the structural diagram and, by the faint moonlight, quickly located the "Warehouse Zero" marked on the diagram.

It was a detached two-story building, which looked heavily guarded.

They went around to the back of the building, pried open an inconspicuous ventilation window, and successfully sneaked inside.

The warehouse was pitch black, filled with tall shelves covered with thick tarpaulins. A faint smell of herbs and engine oil filled the air.

Everything is as the intelligence reports suggested.

Suppressing his overwhelming joy, Liu Jianye, accompanied by two trusted confidants, crouched low and carefully made his way through rows of shelves, heading straight for the "core load-bearing column" marked with a red cross on the blueprint.

It was a thick cement pillar, located in the very center of the warehouse.

"This is it!" Liu Jianye said in a low voice.

He carefully took out packets of high explosives wrapped in oil paper from his backpack.

The two men immediately sprang into action; one was on guard duty, while the other skillfully secured the explosives piece by piece around the load-bearing column.

They acted quickly; in less than ten minutes, all the explosives, enough to level the building, had been planted.

Liu Jianye pulled out a detonator and connecting wires from his pocket, a ferocious and triumphant smile spreading across his face.

He could almost see it: in the next second, flames would engulf the place, and Su Yue, the woman he hated to the core, would lose everything in despair.

He picked up the fuse, preparing to connect it to the detonator.

Just then.

"Smack!"

A crisp switch clicked.

In an instant, all the overhead lights in the entire "warehouse" lit up!

The blinding white light illuminated the entire space as if it were daytime.

Liu Jianye and his two men instinctively shielded their eyes with their hands, almost unable to open them due to the sudden burst of bright light.

Once their eyes had adjusted to the light and they could see the scene clearly, the color drained from their faces instantly.

This is by no means a "Warehouse Zero" storing precious medicinal herbs!

The so-called "shelves" around them were actually disguised with wooden boards and canvas! And the ground beneath their feet was not solid cement, but the rough floor of an abandoned workshop.

They've been tricked!

"Oh no! We've fallen for their trap!"

Liu Jianye was the first to react, letting out a terrified scream and turning to run away.

But it was too late.

"Splash—"

From all directions came the sound of gun bolts being pulled back in unison.
