Chapter 143 I won't wait any longer! I'll go and take your lives by myself!
The abandoned cement plant was eerily silent.
Only the night wind blowing through the dilapidated factory buildings made a howling sound, like the wailing of ghosts.
Jiang Wu moved like a nimble black cat, making no sound as she traversed between rusted steel and broken concrete.
Her past life's countless experiences of infiltrating and assassinating had become an instinct in her body.
She doesn't even need to use her divine sense to see where the blind spots of surveillance are, or where the patrol blind spots are; her body can make the most accurate judgments.
Although there is absolutely no surveillance or patrol here.
According to her divine sense, the three kidnappers were currently gathered in an office on the third floor of the main production building.
They seemed very relaxed.
After all, this is the far outskirts of the capital, a completely forgotten corner.
Who would have thought they would hide the hostage here?
Who would have thought that an unarmed woman would find this place faster than the entire country's violent machinery?
Jiang Wu did not rush over directly.
Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.
She prefers to resolve all troubles in the safest and most predictable way.
She went around to the back of the main production building.
The walls here were severely damaged by the fire years ago, and the huge precast concrete slabs are teetering on the verge of collapse, forming a natural "staircase" leading to the upper floors.
For ordinary people, this is a dead end.
For Jiang Wu, however, this was a shortcut.
Her figure flickered a few times, and she silently climbed to the third floor like a gecko.
A broken window faces the corridor.
She listened intently.
The foul air carried the sound of a man's coarse voice and the click of a lighter.
"Brother, do you think that guy surnamed Qin will come?" a slightly shrill voice asked.
"Nonsense! Those are his precious twins! Even if he had to crawl on his knees, he would still come!" a gruff voice replied viciously.
The owner of this voice should be Zhao Jianjun.
"Hehe, that's a deputy division commander! Once we take the money and fly away, we'll never have to worry about anything again!"
"Money?" Zhao Jianjun sneered. "I don't want money! I want his life! I want him to kneel before me and beg for his life! I want him to watch his wife and children die one by one in front of him!"
His words were filled with resentment and madness.
"Big brother's right! Kill him! How dare a pretty boy climb so high!"
"Alright, all of you, shut up!" Zhao Jianjun interrupted impatiently. "Third brother, go check on those two brats. Don't let them die. They're still useful until we get enough benefits."
"Okay!"
Footsteps sounded as they walked towards the other end of the corridor.
Jiang Wu's eyes instantly turned cold.
She could sense that Qin Zhan and Qin Zhao were locked in the storage room at the end of the corridor.
She did not act immediately.
She is waiting.
After the kidnapper, nicknamed "Third Brother," left the child's room.
She didn't want the bloodshed that was about to happen to frighten her baby.
Soon the footsteps sounded again, and the "third brother" came back cursing.
"Damn it, those two little brats are really stubborn. They won't eat the food I give them and just stare at me. Especially that kid, his eyes are just like his dad's. I really want to slap him!"
"Alright, stop causing trouble," Zhao Jianjun snapped. "Once you get the money, you can do whatever you want. Now, everyone better keep an eye on things outside!"
The office fell silent again for a while.
Now!
Jiang Wu quietly took out a small porcelain bottle from her storage space.
She uncorked the bottle and flicked it lightly through the crack in the office door.
A tiny, colorless, and odorless powder, finer than dust, drifted in through the crack in the door.
"Three breaths later."
A beginner-level aphrodisiac from the Hehuan Sect.
It is colorless and odorless, and works extremely quickly. Anyone who inhales it will fall into a deep coma within three breaths. Even a master-level expert will be affected if they are not prepared.
Using it to deal with a few ordinary people is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
After doing all this, Jiang Wu didn't linger.
Her figure drifted like a ghost to the other end of the corridor.
The door to the storage room was locked with a large padlock.
For her, it was no different than not having a lock at all.
She took a hair clip off her head and gently poked it.
“Clatter.”
With a barely audible click, the padlock opened.
She pushed open the door, slipped inside, and then gently closed it behind her.
The storage room was pitch black and filled with dust and a musty smell.
In the corner, two small figures were huddled together, shivering.
"Zhanzhan? Zhaozhao?"
Jiang Wu lowered her voice and called softly.
The two small figures in the darkness trembled violently.
"……Mother?"
It was Qin Zhan's voice, carrying a hint of uncertainty and suppressed surprise.
Jiang Wu's heart felt as if it had been gripped by a soft hand.
She quickly walked over, squatted down, and hugged the two cold little bodies tightly in her arms.
"Mom is here."
"Don't be afraid, Mom is here."
"Waaah... Mommy!"
Qin Zhao, who had been holding back her tears, finally couldn't hold back anymore after feeling her mother's familiar warmth and presence, and burst into tears.
Her cries were filled with endless fear and resentment.
"Mom...bad people...scared..."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Zhao Zhao is the bravest." Jiang Wu gently patted her daughter's back, softly comforting her in a voice only they could hear.
Qin Zhan did not cry.
The boy, who looked just like Qin Lie, clung tightly to Jiang Wu's clothes, his small body trembling, but he tried his best to tilt his head back to keep his tears from falling.
"Mom, they said... they're going to kill Dad." Qin Zhan's voice carried a calmness and fear beyond his years.
Jiang Wu felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She touched her son's cold cheek and said softly, "No, it won't happen. With Mom here, no one can hurt you or Dad."
Her voice carried a strange, compelling power.
The two children gradually calmed down.
"Okay, now Mommy wants to play a game with you."
Jiang Wu took out two small, cotton-like things from her bosom and stuffed them into their ears.
"Don't be afraid no matter what sound you hear later, and don't take it off, okay?"
"This is a game where you won't lose if you fall asleep."
She then took out two more pills, which emitted a fragrant aroma.
"Eat this, then you all take a nap. When you wake up, we can go home."
Without the slightest hesitation, the two children obediently swallowed the pills.
Soon they fell into a deep sleep in Jiang Wu's arms.
Jiang Wu carefully placed them on a pile of relatively clean old quilts, and then took off her own coat to cover them.
After doing all this, she slowly stood up.
All the gentleness on her face vanished instantly.
Instead, there was a bone-chilling cold and a chilling killing intent.
She turned around and looked in the direction of the office.
In my consciousness, the three people were already lying on the ground, unconscious.
very good.
Now it's her turn.
She pushed open the door to the storage room and walked step by step toward the office.
The "tap, tap, tap" sound of high heels on the concrete floor was exceptionally clear in the deathly silent factory.
Like tolling the death knell of hell.
