Just now, the bureau leaders sent someone to deliver a death order: at all costs, this gang of ruthless criminals must be completely wiped out!
Shen Huaichuan then looked at Battalion Commander Jiang and Regiment Commander Wang, his tone earnest:
"Old Jiang, Old Wang, I'll trouble you to pass on a message to my parents about raising the money. Try to raise as much as possible, the sooner the better. Keeping them calm is the most important thing."
The two old comrades exchanged a glance, nodded emphatically, and said:
"Huaichuan, don't worry! We'll go back right now! We'll sell everything we own to get this done for you!"
Then, Shen Huaichuan quickly explained the specific work arrangements for the next few days to the company commander of the elite unit.
When the others heard his arrangement, they vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
Normally, Shen Huaichuan would definitely do everything himself; he has always been the backbone of the group.
But now that everything has been handed over to them, what about Shen Huaichuan himself?
This doesn't fit Shen Huaichuan's character.
Battalion Commander Jiang couldn't help but ask, "Huaichuan, what's wrong with you...?"
Shen Huaichuan's eyes darkened as he glanced at the location on the mountain, his gaze gleaming with a chilling light:
"That Brother Long is treacherous and cunning; he will never let Qiqi go easily. I don't trust them! We need to raise the ransom, and we must continue searching for her!"
Captain Li became anxious upon hearing this and quickly tried to dissuade him:
"Huaichuan! You can't be impulsive! They said that as soon as they see our people approaching, they're going to kill Qiqi! That's too risky!"
Shen Huaichuan turned his head to look at the dark forest, a confident yet cold smile curving his lips, and said:
"Captain Li, a large-scale search of the mountains would make us too conspicuous and easy to expose, but what if... I go alone?"
"You're all alone?!"
Captain Li stared in astonishment, his eyes wide with disbelief, and said:
"This mountain is so big, how can you search it all by yourself? Even if you find it, the other side has dozens of desperate thugs. Aren't you just going to your death?"
Shen Huaichuan took a deep breath, his gaze sharp, and his tone filled with arrogance as he said:
"Master, have you forgotten? Back in the day, in the all-army reconnaissance soldier competition, infiltration, stealth, tracking, hand-to-hand combat... your apprentice won first place in every single one! When it comes to individual mountain warfare, even if they were all tied together, they wouldn't be a match for me! And..."
She paused, her tone softening slightly.
"I believe Qiqi must have left some clues. With my abilities, I can definitely find her! As for the number of them..."
He paused, then suddenly exuded an incomparably sharp aura, like a drawn sword, and spoke clearly, word by word:
"My fighting skills are the best in the entire army! As long as I get in, they'll be the ones worrying!"
"good!"
Seeing that Shen Huaichuan's mind was made up and his expression was resolute, everyone knew that further persuasion would be useless.
His analysis made sense; even if those ruthless bandits got the money, they might not keep their word and let Zhou Qiqi go.
They must not place their hopes entirely on the conscience of the bandits, sit idly by and wait to be killed, allowing themselves to be manipulated by the other side.
Once they understood this, no one hesitated anymore.
The soldier's decisiveness was immediately apparent.
Battalion Commander Jiang and Regiment Commander Wang nodded emphatically to Shen Huaichuan. Without saying a word, they turned around, jumped into a jeep with several guards, and sped off towards the military region to raise funds as quickly as possible.
Captain Li immediately summoned several responsible police officers to quickly assign road sections to be blocked.
Although the soldiers were unwilling, military orders were absolute.
Under command, they began an orderly retreat.
Shen Huaichuan himself quickly took off his conspicuous military jacket, leaving only a dark fleece jacket.
He checked his sidearm and dagger, and then took his backpack from the car.
He moved in the opposite direction from the retreating troops, and with a flash, disappeared into the mountains and forests.
