Chapter 360: Deep in the Forest
Song Peiqing's voice rose an octave, and his rich imagination allowed him to conceive an outrageous drama in an instant.
"Could it be possible that someone really believed that my cousin's wife was my fiancée and kidnapped her to blackmail me?"
Even though Song Jingting was nervous, he was so angry at his shameless idea that he almost had a heart attack, and slapped Song Peiqing on the head.
"Who do you think you are? I'm blackmailing you. Your life is not as valuable as theirs!"
Putting aside the net worth, just talking about the individual, ten Song Peiqings tied together are not as important as Lu Youyou.
Song Peiqing ignored the pain and covered his head and asked, "Where are the bodyguards? Did they fail to stop him? What should we do now? Should we notify my cousin?"
Thinking of Gu Qingye's eyes like sharp swords, Song Peiqing couldn't help but shudder. It's over, his cousin will definitely go crazy!
Song Jingting was also anxious. The phone was disconnected and he couldn't get through when he called again. He could do nothing until the police arrived.
"Don't worry, wait for notification first. The two people Youyou brought are both good fighters, nothing will happen to them. Don't worry, don't worry..."
Song Jingting repeated it several times, as if to comfort himself.
The dock was his own territory, so he sent more people to protect it. He never thought that he would not be able to defend it.
"Oh, right, call your brother right away and tell them to be careful. Also, pick up the two children right away and tell them not to go to school for the time being. If you can avoid going out, don't go out."
"Got it, I'll call now."
Song Jingting sat on the sofa, thinking about what forces he could mobilize. The workers at the dock could help, and the governor could also put pressure on him. If they were asking for money, he was willing to give money, but he was afraid that the other party didn't want money.
He called again, but still couldn't get through. The secretary's mobile phone also had a busy tone, which meant he had no idea what was going on.
On the other side, Lu Youyou's car was forced to stop by the other party by any means necessary. Masked men filed out of the van one after another. Lin Ling noticed with her sharp eyes that the other party was carrying weapons.
"No, you can't stay in the car."
Lin Ling acted decisively. While Li Yun and his men were fighting with the other party, she opened the car door and dragged Lu Youyou up the mountain. The vast forest could at least buy them some time to wait for rescue.
The kidnappers obviously noticed the noise here, and someone shouted loudly, and the voice he spoke was actually English.
Lu Youyou almost instantly ruled out the possibility of extortion, and without delaying for a moment, she followed Lin Ling and ran away.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she had insisted on exercising to repair postpartum injuries, otherwise she would have been exhausted after running a few steps.
Secretary Xie gritted his teeth and said, "I will separate from you and try to distract the other party as much as possible."
He doesn't know how to use a gun and his fighting ability is almost zero, so he can't be the kidnappers' target. He might as well give it his all and hope he can be of some use.
If you take this chance today, your life may be smooth sailing in the future.
Lin Ling nodded immediately. Her mission was to protect Lu Youyou's safety, and the fewer burdens there were, the better.
Secretary Xie ran to the other side without looking back. The driver stayed behind to cover their retreat. Lin Ling pulled Lu Youyou and continued to run deeper into the forest.
She was already familiar with the terrain of Hong Kong City. This mountain range ran almost through the entire Kowloon Peninsula from west to east. As long as she was not caught up, she would be confident that she could escape with Lu Youyou.
Secretary Xie left his mobile phone to her before leaving, but there was no signal at the moment.
The sudden gunshot made Lu Youyou stagger. Lin Ling quickly supported her and asked, "Can you still hold on?"
Lu Youyou nodded, his throat was beginning to burn, but people can always unleash great potential in life-and-death situations.
She kept hypnotizing herself, her feet were not weak and her legs were not sore, and she could still hold on. After repeating the same thing to herself for a while, the feeling of lead in her legs was actually lessened a little.
Lu Youyou didn't know where he was now. At the beginning, he could see the sidewalk, but now all he could see were wildly grown branches. Apart from the occasional bird calls, he could not hear any other sounds.
She didn't dare to think about how Li Yun and the others were doing now, whether they were alive or dead. Now there was only one word in her mind that was repeating mechanically.
Run, and keep running until you die.
But she was ultimately no match for Lin Ling. Maybe after twenty minutes, maybe after half an hour, her steps became heavier and heavier. When she stumbled again, Lin Ling was unable to hold her back, and she fell directly to the ground.
"Did you sprain it?" Lin Ling's breathing was only slightly rapid, much steadier than Lu Youyou's bellows-like panting.
Lu Youyou couldn't speak at all, and even shaking her head felt like her brain was going to explode.
Lin Ling had already squatted down to check, and was vaguely relieved to see that the ankle was moving normally.
If she got injured at this time, the only option would be to fight to the death. She was not afraid of death, but if she died, Lu Youyou's chance of escape would only be lower.
She took out a bottle of mineral water from her backpack and fed it to Lu Youyou: "Drink slowly, and stop after three sips."
Lu Youyou did as she was told. Three sips of water failed to quench her thirst, but her burning throat finally could make sounds.
"I...I...can still...hold on..."
Lin Ling's straight mouth corners curved upwards: "Okay, let's set off after a minute's rest."
Just half an hour was enough for her to look at Lu Youyou with new eyes.
Although he did not have the physical strength, his running posture and breathing method were the most energy-saving, and there were no unnecessary movements. He did not need her to remind him and would not leave any unnecessary traces.
She is indeed worthy of being the wife of the legendary soldier king!
Lin Ling kept looking at her watch and paying attention to the movements behind her. Lu Youyou knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long, so no matter how tired she was, she had to grit her teeth and get up.
"Let's go, I'm fine now." Lu Youyou stood up, supporting himself on his knees.
The words that Gu Qingye had said when he was exercising with her kept circulating in her mind - small, steady steps, abdominal breathing, using the thighs to exert force when going uphill, and the soles of the feet on the ground when going downhill...

Capital
Gu Bohuai received a confidential phone call and his originally calm expression changed instantly.
"What? Are you sure?"
"What's the situation now?"
"I will report it immediately. Please pay close attention and keep in touch at any time."
Something happened to Lu Youyou!
Gu Bohuai knew how many security forces were arranged for Lu Youyou to go to Hong Kong. There were two people in public and no less than ten people in secret. There were also personnel stationed in the alley to provide support at any time, but problems still occurred.
Lin Ling and Li Yun are the best among the best. He has absolute confidence in their abilities, but he is afraid that two fists cannot beat four hands.
After all, Hong Kong is not like the mainland. They have limited manpower and can only mobilize all their forces immediately, hoping to be in time.
Gu Qingye was writing a report in the office when his eyelids suddenly twitched.
He was a staunch atheist, but at that moment his heart inexplicably skipped a beat.
Dongdong——
"Enter."
Gu Qingye looked at the person who came, and his uneasiness gradually grew.
"Comrade Lu Youyou is in danger in Gangcheng, and you are now arranged to go and rescue him." Gu Bohuai came personally to tell him the organization's decision.
Gu Qingye's breathing suddenly stopped, and he stared at Gu Bohuai without blinking, the pen in his hand was almost bent.
