"I don't care. I'll get there as quickly as possible, while ensuring my safety. I can't bear the thought of anything happening to my wife, especially since she's pregnant."

Liu Xiaoliu gritted his teeth, "Understood, Commander."

Liu Xiaoliu drove with all his might, speeding down the road at top speed.

The driver behind was completely bewildered. "What's going on? This is reckless driving!"

The soldier in the co-pilot said seriously, "There might be an emergency. Just follow them. Why all the nonsense?"

"yes."

The faster the car in front drives, the faster the cars behind follow, maintaining a relentless pace to keep up.

We drove at this speed for about an hour and a half before reaching our destination.

Liu Xiaoliu's car slowly glided and stopped at a designated area, where everyone got out and lined up.

Following instructions from above, Liu Xiaoliu began guiding the soldiers in carrying out their mission.

The soldiers followed the instructions made by each finger and fist, beginning to accomplish their assigned tasks.

Approaching the suspected location on foot.

Gu Sinian took the lead, with Qin Fang close behind, each holding a gun and fighting wherever they could.

"You brat, let's split up and flank them from two sides, then we'll meet up later."

"good."

Seeing that his father-in-law had gone far away, Gu Sinian quietly led his team into the house, where they had already received the news.

He made a gesture, and everyone dispersed and waited in place. Gu Sinian quietly entered the courtyard and checked that no one was there.

"That's impossible. How can there be no one here? The information we received indicated that the young woman was caught in this courtyard, so how can there be no one here?"

Gu Sinian looked around and, finding nothing amiss, slunk away.

Not here.

Where exactly is it?

What tricks is Qiao Xiyan up to?

What are those bastards in Dongshi doing? They can't even keep an eye on one woman, letting her slip away right under their noses, leading to all this trouble now.

Once this is all over, let's see how he deals with those useless people in Dongshi.

She was blinded by lust and got a death row inmate pregnant. How shameless! If she had just been shot, none of this would have happened.

Gu Sinian angrily kicked the wall a few times, but he couldn't find the person. His earlier confident promises had now become a joke.

Could it really be in that wasteland?

How could that be?

impossible.

When Qin Fang didn't return for a long time, Gu Sinian guessed that something might have happened to him.

"Where is the commander?"

Gu Sinian grabbed Liu Xiaoliu's sleeve anxiously and asked, "The commander is alright. We've already found Comrade Qin."

"Found her? What about my wife?"

"We found no trace of her. According to Comrade Qin's description, they were not held together at all, and no new people have been seen coming."

"When we rushed in to rescue them, there were only a few people guarding them, and we quickly took them down."

"As for Comrade Su, we did not see him."

Gu Sinian staggered back several steps, muttering to himself, "If he's not here, then where is he?"

Liu Xiaoliu pursed his lips. If he had known, he wouldn't have been a bodyguard; he would have been destined to be a leader.

"The commander sent me here for this matter. There's no sign of Comrade Su nearby, so we need to find a new target to search."

Gu Si nodded, looking dejected, and followed Liu Xiaoliu to meet up with Qin Fang.

The moment Gu Sinian saw Qin Chengzhi, he stepped forward and grabbed his collar, asking, "Has anything gone wrong while you were captured?"

"Have you ever heard of the place where they imprisoned Yingying?"

"No. But I did overhear them talking about it privately."

Gu Sinian looked at him anxiously, "What is it? Tell me quickly."

"Even though my eyes were blindfolded and my mouth was gagged, I could clearly feel everything happening around me, as well as the endless chatter."

"Arresting me is just a setup. They don't even care about those antique thieves who vanished into thin air in Guangzhou. They just wanted to lure you two into the trap so they would lower their guard and arrest Su Ying."

Gu Sinian almost lost his footing. He knew things weren't that simple. Capturing Qin Chengzhi was just a way to lure them away so they could capture Yingying.

"This matter must be inextricably linked to Qiao Xiyan."

“It is indeed related to her. I vaguely heard that it was some kind of deal that Qiao Xiyan made with the tomb raiders.”

"A deal? Qiao Xiyan is a pawn abandoned by the Qiao family. What ability or bargaining chips does she have to negotiate with tomb raiders? These people have huge appetites. How could they be blinded by a little bit of profit?"

"What if it's not a tiny profit?"

Gu Sinian looked at Qin Chengzhi, "What do you mean? Do you know something?"

Qin Chengzhi tried hard to recall the conversation he had with her last night. "Qiao Xiyan got some information from somewhere and sold a big piece of news to the leader of the tomb raiders, and the two of them reached a cooperation agreement."

Gu Sinian frowned. What information did Qiao Xiyan have that would make the tomb raider leader compromise and dare to kidnap soldiers?

This shows that the information was very valuable, making the tomb raiding leader, who was usually very cautious, break his vow and take the risk to do this deal.

One layer encircles another, layer upon layer, it's ruthless and decisive.

"What kind of news could make a notorious person risk his life to enter the family compound to arrest someone, and even stage such a scene to lure out everyone in their area so he could kidnap them? This move is really brilliant."

Qin Fang was also puzzled. In all his years in this line of work, this was the first time he had ever seen someone who valued money over life.

"Just how tempting was it that made these desperate criminals risk their lives?"

Qin Chengzhi stroked his chin thoughtfully, "That depends on what it is. The fact that this group of desperate criminals would abandon the lost artifacts in Guangzhou and turn to work for Qiao Xiyan is already very suspicious, unless..."

"Unless what?" the two asked in unison.

"Unless Qiao Xiyan offers a higher price to make these desperados work for her."

Gu Sinian frowned. Although Qiao Xiyan didn't grow up together, they all grew up in the same family compound and saw each other all the time. How could the Gu family not know the strength of the Qiao family?

The Qiao family may appear prosperous, but they live frugally in private. They have many children, and none of them have ever been involved in business.

What can we use to bribe these desperate criminals?

Having neither money nor power is indeed a troublesome matter.

"Could there be any cultural relics that disappeared from Guangzhou that are worth more?"

He had seen those cultural relics in his wife's space; they were priceless. How could any other cultural relics possibly replace them?

Other cultural relics?

Gu Sinian suddenly remembered that there was a large cultural relics museum near Beijing, which contained countless cultural relics.

The museum was newly built, and people who weren't key figures in the case couldn't access it at all. They even signed a confidentiality agreement. How did Qiao Xiyan find out about this?

If everything in this museum were stolen, they would suffer a huge loss.

"I can roughly guess where they took them?"

Qin Fang asked anxiously, "Where were they arrested?"
