His superiors instructed him to disguise himself as a technical investigator and travel to the island nation with the rest of the delegation.
In the dead of night, the vast and boundless sea was silent as he sailed alone toward the lonely island.
During the journey, he docked the boat on another uninhabited island and used the teleportation function to directly land on the island where Dong Lianxin was.
There are several rows of houses on this small island. Lu Zhengting guessed that Dong Lianxin was not the only one being held there, but also scientists that the island nation had recruited from other countries. There were also five or six soldiers patrolling around the island with guns.
He concealed himself within the space, arriving on this small island as if he had entered an uninhabited place.
Wearing night-vision goggles, he walked past the rows of houses. As he expected, there were other people being held there, all of them foreigners. He couldn't care less about them; his only target now was Dong Lianxin.
He quietly knocked out a guard and killed him with a triangular bayonet, took a bunch of keys hanging from the guard's waist, and opened the iron door of the cell where Dong Lianxin was. Chen Meng thought that those people had come to torture her again, so she remained extremely calm.
Lu Zhengting whispered to her, "Comrade Chen, I was sent by the country to rescue you and bring you back home. In order to get you out of here safely, I have to knock you out now."
Then, before Chen Meng could speak, he grabbed her and chopped her on the back of the neck with a hand chop. Chen Meng immediately fainted. Lu Zhengting immediately transferred her into his spatial dimension and entered the dimension himself.
He used space to get outside, raised his pistol, and shot two patrolling soldiers, one after the other. Other soldiers heard the gunshots and rushed over to check, but they didn't know who had killed the two soldiers.
Then their heads were pierced by bullets one after another, and they died without ever seeing who shot them.
Lu Zhengting coldly swept his gaze over the places where people were still imprisoned. Although their lives were despicable, these people were not necessarily without threat to their country. He would neither kill them nor save them. Their ultimate fate would depend on their own destiny.
He teleported Chen Meng to the small boat, rowed it, and as they approached the rendezvous point, he emerged from his spatial dimension, moved Chen Meng out of it, and placed her on the boat.
"Mother-in-law, I apologize for my earlier offense. You will soon be able to return to China and reunite with your daughter and other relatives."
The contact took them to a secret location. When Chen Meng woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people.
However, this place is not as dark and damp as the prison cell, and the people here are not as fierce as those over there.
She didn't know where she was, but she didn't feel so dangerous anymore. Seeing the sincere and friendly smiles of the people around her, she suddenly felt like she was back home.
At that moment, she remembered that before she fainted, someone had told her that he was sent by the government to rescue her.
So, she's been rescued now, right?
The person in front of her must also be one of her compatriots.
They are currently in the embassy's basement. Lu Zhengting and another embassy staff member were both delighted to see her awake.
"Comrade Chen, you're awake," Lu Zhengting said. His mission was not yet fully completed, so he couldn't reveal his true identity to the other party.
He can't call her mother-in-law yet.
Chen Meng heard his voice and realized it was the same voice she had heard before she fainted. She was very grateful to him.
"Comrade, you saved me. I never expected that someone would know I was trapped here. Thank you to the country for not abandoning me and for sending people to rescue me."
Embassy staff told Dong Lianxin that she would be returning to China with the delegation two days later, but she couldn't sneak into the delegation and had to hide in a cargo box to get back.
Before the inspection team arrived, they prepared a special wooden box that Chen Meng could hide in to avoid being inspected by the islanders.
Because they were worried that Chen Meng wouldn't be able to withstand the cramped environment inside the suitcase, which would not only cause her pain but also make noise during customs inspection, they administered anesthesia to her before putting her in.
Once Chen Meng had been placed in the box, Lu Zhengting moved her directly into his spatial dimension.
Not only does it help her avoid the risks of customs inspection, but it also allows her to stretch out in the space without causing any physical harm from being cramped in such a small space.
Ultimately, they successfully evaded security checks and only released Chen Meng "from the box" after sailing away from the island nation's waters.
Five days later, they successfully returned to China. After landing at a coastal port, Dong Lianxin was temporarily taken to Beijing for resettlement, while Lu Zhengting returned to the Northern Military Region.
