Chapter 360 Will I be able to get back alive?
That night, a major earthquake struck the upper echelons of Myanmar.
Everyone involved was woken up from their sleep!
Countless phone calls, one after another.
"Now, not only in China, but also in other countries, celebrities and bloggers with millions of followers are sharing this incident and videos! They are making a huge impact, launching a campaign online to 'Release the innocent girl, and give the people a satisfactory explanation!'"
"We have already issued a statement saying that the torture was carried out by some officers themselves, disassociating ourselves from this!"
"However, the reason public opinion escalated so rapidly to an irreversible point is all because of this celebrity named Lu Jinye! And his identity is special, he..."
"Report! Commander Dawa!"
“Speak…” The figure was tall, slightly overweight, in his fifties, with black hair and black eyes, and a furrowed brow.
"The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs called half an hour ago, requesting that we hand that woman over to them for processing!"
"What did His Excellency the President say?"
"President...let us release them."
"Useless spineless coward!" Dawa sneered, his words devoid of any respect. "China deliberately created this commotion to force us to release her, which further proves that this girl's identity is not simple! She's caused such a huge mess, ruining all my years of hard work! I absolutely cannot let her go back alive..."
After pondering for a moment, Dawa turned to the man sitting on the sofa and asked, "What do you think about this?"
"His Excellency the President has ordered the release of the prisoners, can you disobey?" The man wore a floral shirt, his skin was so white it seemed to glow, and his bright sapphire eyes were exceptionally clear. A natural upward curve to his lips revealed a playful and wicked glint in his eyes!
"Just say what you mean! Don't beat around the bush with me!" Dawa had a short temper.
The man on the sofa sat up slightly, his tone becoming more serious. "Father, don't worry. What I mean is, since China wants people, then let's give them to them!"
"Give them to them?" Dawa snorted, unwilling to give up.
“That’s right. But whether she can be returned alive depends on her fate.” The man’s smile grew even more sinister. “The handover location will be at the 351 border!”
"Hmm~ I really like this idea."
Dawa immediately understood his intention, his eyes narrowed and his smile was cold.
The man on the sofa picked up a glass of water, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
I never expected Wen Ni to pull off such a brilliant escape! If Lu Jinye hadn't shown up, he would never have known that she was still alive! And that she was hopping around right under his nose!
Even if a fox has nine lives.
This time, he wanted to see how she could escape!
The moon and stars alternate with the red sun.
It was another gloomy night, with dark clouds obscuring the moon.
The three jungle borders where the land border between Myanmar and China meets.
A central median strip serves as the boundary, upon which sits a white boundary marker. The front is inscribed with "China," and the back with "Myanmar." Sentinels on either side of the boundary stand ramrod straight, gripping their rifles tightly.
Military vehicles with Burmese characters printed on them drove up.
We stopped 20 meters away from the boundary marker!
The car door opened
Wen Ni, still wearing a gray prison uniform, got out of the car, her wrists and ankles still chained!
Her steps were very slow.
It wasn't just the weight of the chains, but also the wounds on her body—from top to bottom, inside and out, there was hardly a spot that was unharmed!
She has been able to hold on until now entirely because of her strong will and her determination to go home!
"Damn it! Those Burmese bastards!"
"Remove her shackles!"
On the Chinese side of the border marker, Captain Lu Zhenbang stood in the front row with several members of the Shadow Hunter Commando Team. Lu Jinye was also with them, but he was wearing a hat and mask and could not easily show his face!
At this moment, seeing the darkness of night...
The girl in prison clothes, walking unsteadily and looking dazed.
It felt as if their hearts had been ripped out!
Lu Jinye's hands, hanging by his sides, clenched so tightly they trembled violently, his nails digging into his flesh and drawing red blood.
But he cannot act rashly!
In fact, none of them could!
Once Wen Ni crosses the boundary marker, she will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Burmese. As long as we can bring her back, we can worry about everything else later!
"What did you say? Remove the shackles?"
"No, no, no, that won't do. We're just transferring prisoners, not releasing them!" The military commander proudly raised his chin. "She hasn't been cleared of suspicion with us yet, so of course I can't unlock her door!"
"You shameless bastard!"
"Alright, everyone, say less!"
Lu Zhenbang reprimanded him. His thoughts were clearly in line with Lu Jinye's.
As long as Wen Ni can return safely, we can endure the humiliation we're in!
351 Border Village
Many villagers who came to see what was happening were stopped at the perimeter, including Maqige Gang!
I could see Wen Ni's profile from afar.
Maggie couldn't control her emotions and covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.
One step, two steps.
Every time Wen Ni took a step toward the boundary marker, everyone present felt their hearts tighten involuntarily!
[You can do it, Wen Ni, you can do it!]
Sweat poured down her temples like a tap that had been turned on, soaking her collar and blouse!
She saw Lu Jinye, saw him take a step forward, yet had to restrain himself.
She forced a smile.
It must look terrible.
I wonder if he saw it...
Take another step.
Something rolled out of her shirt pocket.
It was that pink poison that Ya Bi gave her!
She bent down to pick it up almost without hesitation.
"Bang!"
A sudden gunshot rang out, startling the birds in the woods, and the bullet struck the ground directly in front of her.
Everyone at the scene gasped in shock!
What followed was an unrest filled with barely concealed anger.
"Oh shit!"
"Someone fired a shot!"
"That's fucking outrageous!"
All the soldiers inside the Chinese border marker changed their expressions!
If Wen Ni hadn't bent down to pick something up, that bullet would probably have hit her heart right now!
Wen Ni's face also turned slightly pale.
The most potent poison, by sheer coincidence, saved her life!
There was no time to think.
Without a second's hesitation, she carried the heavy weight of her feet and the chains, and ran as fast as she could, heading straight for the boundary marker.
"I warn you! Don't try any of these despicable tricks!" Captain Lu Zhenbang was completely enraged. He raised his megaphone, veins bulging on his arm, and unleashed a torrent of abuse at the Burmese side: "If anything happens to her on your territory, China will definitely hold you accountable for your diplomatic responsibilities!"
"Don't panic~ We don't know who fired the shot either, so everyone stay calm and don't rush~ We'll send people to search right now!"
The Burmese military personnel spoke casually, showing no sign of urgency whatsoever!
"Oh, just a heads-up, don't cross the line carelessly, otherwise... if this gunman isn't very accurate, he might accidentally kill a few more people, which wouldn't be good!"
"Damn it! These bastards are utterly shameless!" The crowd on the Chinese border marker cursed and swore, their profanity extremely high!
Lu Jinye's heart and eyes were only on Wen Ni. He stepped forward with one foot, barely touching the edge of the boundary line, and tried his best to reach out his hand towards Wen Ni!
"Just a little bit more, quick! Grab my hand!"
