Zhou Qingya looked at me and said, "Xiaonan, can we not be in such a hurry? This matter involves too many things. If we act rashly, we will definitely fall into their trap."

I said, "You said it yourself, the little girl has already been shot, we don't have much time left!"

"It's too late for us to go now. What if the little girl is already dead? Wouldn't we be jumping into a fire pit if we went there?" someone said from the side, disagreeing with saving the little girl because they felt she was already dead and there was no need to save her!

But I didn't believe the little girl was dead until I saw her body.

We finally found it, how can we give up!

Just as I was getting anxious, I heard a commotion outside, the sound of several people's footsteps. I turned my head and saw Sister Jing standing at the door.

"Xiaonan." Sister Jing called my name, then saw Zhou Qingya and exclaimed, "Qingya! You, how could you..."

Li Jiaming, who entered behind Jingjie, was even more incredulous upon seeing Zhou Qingya. His eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "You...you...you're still alive!"

Zhou Qingya looked at Li Jiaming and said with a sneer, "What, you seem unhappy that I'm alive?"

Li Jiaming shook his head, "No, no, that's not what I meant."

Zhou Qingya glared at her coldly, "What do you mean if that's not what you meant!"

I know there's a conflict between them, but now is not the time to talk about it.

I frowned and said, "Alright, we can talk about your issues later. The most important thing now is to save the little girl!"

Zhou Qingya composed herself and nodded at me.

Sister Jing asked from the side, "Save the little girl? What happened to Zhong Linyun?"

Zhou Qingya then recounted what had happened to the little girl that morning.

Sister Jing said decisively, "Then what are you waiting for? The little girl could die at any moment. If you don't go to save her now, when will you?"

The person next to Zhou Qingya spoke up. I remember his name was Li Kai. He said, "I know you were the little girl's friends before, but the situation is not as simple as you think. The place where the little girl had the accident is a warehouse, and another team from Ninghai is guarding it. If we go there, we will definitely encounter their ambush. So this matter needs to be carefully considered."

Hearing this, I was annoyed and retorted angrily, "What kind of long-term planning is this?! If we keep discussing it, the little girl will die!"

“You…” Li Kai frowned, clearly displeased.

I stared at Zhou Qingya and said, "Qingya, I don't want to waste my breath on you. If you want to save the little girl, stop dawdling here, pack your things and lead the way. If you're too scared to go, we'll go."

There was a struggle in Zhou Qingya's eyes.

Li Kai, who was beside her, advised, "You can't go! What if you fall into a trap? Who will save you then? And don't you think it's too strange that these people appeared out of nowhere? What if they are accomplices of the other side, trying to trick you into going?"

Zhou Qingya turned to look at Li Kai, then at me, her eyes filled with confusion.

I said, "I came here to take you both back, so neither of you can be missing."

Zhou Qingya nodded and said, "Okay, I'll lead the way, but it might be very dangerous if we go."

I said, "We've been through dangerous things, this is nothing."

Li Kai, who was standing to the side, lost his composure and grabbed Zhou Qingya's arm angrily, saying, "Zhou Qingya! Do you know what you're doing! What you're doing will ruin all of us!"

I frowned and stared at him, then grabbed the guy by the collar and shoved him against the wall. With a thud, his back hit the wall, and he cried out in pain.

I glared at him and yelled, "Don't give me that righteous act. You guys were having a good time using her when she was fine, but now that she's in trouble, instead of trying to save her, you're spouting this nonsense. Do you think she's just someone who's dispensable? You use her while she's around, and it doesn't matter when she's gone? Let me tell you, she's my family. If she's dead when I find her, you won't live either."

Li Kai had a resentful expression on his face.

I let go of him, turned around and said, "Let's go."

I went out of the house, and Sister Jing, Zhou Qingya, and Li Jiaming followed me out.

When we got downstairs, I said, "Qingya, when we came here before, our car and everything inside were taken by your people. Could you please help us find them?"

Zhou Qingya said, "Come with me."

We followed Zhou Qingya to the front door of the villa where the supplies were stored. When we went around to the back, we saw our car. At that moment, the car was completely empty; they had taken everything from it.

Zhou Qingya said to the person in charge of the warehouse, "Bring back everything that was taken from this vehicle, untouched!"

"Ah, why?" the warehouse manager asked, puzzled.

Zhou Qingya frowned and said, "We need to get out now! Hurry up!"

"Oh, oh." The person in charge of the warehouse hurriedly went into the warehouse.

We went in too.

The other party led us to a room and said, "The things in the car are all here. We just took them out, and now you want to put them back?"

We ignored him, grabbed our things, and left.

When they came outside, Li Kai had also brought his men with him.

Li Kai said, "Zhou Qingya, please think about everyone else. Is it worth doing such an absurd thing for a little girl?"

I frowned, cocked the pistol, and pointed the wound at his forehead, saying, "What do you mean by absurd? Since you're so afraid of death, I'll kill you now, so you won't have to be afraid anymore!"

Li Kai panicked for a moment, and Zhou Wei immediately had someone pointing a gun at me.

I said, "If you don't treat this little girl like a human being, then I don't need to treat you like one either! We're going to rescue people now, and if you dare to look at us, I won't hold back. Also, you said that our rescue might put you in danger. Tell me, how are we going to put you in danger?"

Li Kai was speechless.

I continued, "You and the other side have already formed a grudge, and it's definitely not going to end easily. Since you're going to fight to the death sooner or later, do you really think you can win by being so timid? You want to back down after losing one person? People like you are going to die sooner or later."

Recorder Diary 21:

"I learned something ridiculous today. We didn't know what the samples from this research institute were, but now they're telling us they're researching a vaccine against the Ehrlich virus. But so far, there haven't been any results. If the Ehrlich virus really is airborne, then the whole world is probably doomed. I don't want to think about this. It's too annoying."
