Chapter 281 I will face it with you
I looked at him, and suddenly I felt complicated. This struggle was far more cruel than I had imagined. But I knew that no matter what, I could not retreat.
"Yichen..." I called him softly, with a hint of determination in my voice, "No matter what happens, I will face it with you."
He looked at me, his eyes gentle and firm, like the brightest star in the night sky: "Okay, let's go together."
Suddenly, the cell phone vibrated, breaking the silence in the room.
It's my subordinate's call.
"Hello?" Jiang Yichen answered the phone with a hint of hesitation in his voice.
"Found it!" The subordinate's voice came from the other end of the phone, hurried and low, as if suppressing some emotions, "Mother Li Yun and the child are in the basement of the Jin family's old house."
My fingers clenched the phone violently, my knuckles turned slightly white due to the force, and my heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of my chest.
My throat seemed to be blocked by something, and I couldn't make a sound for a while. After a long while, I managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Are they... still safe?"
"They are safe for now, but the situation is not good." The subordinate's voice was low and urgent, "We must rescue them as soon as possible."
"Okay, we'll be there right away." Jiang Yichen hung up the phone, his fingers trembling slightly, and turned to look at Jiang Yichen.
"Mother Li Yun and her child have been found in the basement of the Jin family's old house." My voice was a little tense, but my eyes were unusually firm, "We have to go save them."
Jiang Yichen frowned slightly, and his eyes instantly became sharp.
There was no hesitation in his voice, as if he had expected this to happen. I nodded, and the anger and determination that had been suppressed for a long time in my heart completely exploded at this moment.
Jiang Yichen reached out and held me in his arms. His embrace was solid and warm, with a reassuring power. I leaned on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, as if all the fear and anxiety were dispelled by his breath.
"Coming." His voice sounded in my ears, low and firm.
I took a deep breath and raised my head from his arms, with a look of determination in my eyes: "It's time to make the Jin family pay the price."
Jiang Yichen curled the corners of his lips, revealing a sneer, with a fierce look in his eyes: "It's time for them to pay back the debt they owe."
I quickly picked up my phone and sent a message to Xu Sisi and Xiao Tiantian: "Mother Li and the child have been found in the basement of the Jin family's old house. We will be there soon and meet outside the old house."
Not long after, Xu Sisi replied: "Received, already on the way, see you outside the old house."
I put away my phone and felt a little more at ease. The support of Xu Sisi and Xiao Tiantian is crucial to us. With them, our chances of winning will be greater.
"Let's go." Jiang Yichen picked up the car keys, his eyes showing a hint of coldness, "It's time."
I nodded and followed him out of the study quickly. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on us, lengthening our shadows.
In the car, Jiang Yichen was driving at a very fast speed, but still as steady as a rock.
I sat in the passenger seat, tapping my fingers unconsciously on my knees, feeling both nervous and expectant.
The location of the Jin family’s old house is not far away, but the road seems extremely long.
"Yichen, do you think...the Jin family has already set an ambush?" I asked in a low voice, with a hint of uneasiness in my voice.
Jiang Yichen glanced at me with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "They dare not act rashly. The Jin family is now in a fierce internal struggle. Jin Mingyuan and Jin Minghui are busy with their own affairs and have no time to care about us."
I nodded, feeling a little relieved. But when I thought of Li Yunma and the child still in the basement of Jin's house, my heart ached again.
Not long after, the car stopped in a forest outside the Jin family's old house. We got out of the car and looked from afar. The old house looked particularly gloomy under the setting sun.
Xu Sisi and Xiao Tiantian were already waiting there. When they saw us, they walked over quickly.
"What's the situation?" Xu Sisi asked in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.
"They're in the basement. They're safe for now, but they need to be rescued as soon as possible." I replied in a low voice, with a hint of nervousness in my voice.
Xiao Tiantian clenched her fists, her eyes determined: "Then let's act quickly, we can't delay any longer."
Jiang Yichen nodded, his eyes swept over each of us, and his voice was low and powerful: "Remember, our goal is to save people, don't confront the Jin family head-on. Act quickly and don't give them time to react."
We all nodded, and then split into two groups, quietly approaching the old house. The afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappeared, and night began to fall. The outline of the old house looked even more eerie in the darkness.
I followed Jiang Yichen closely, my heart beating fast.
I informed Officer Zhang of the pregnant woman Li's situation in detail. I was extremely anxious on the other end of the phone and earnestly asked for his help.
Officer Zhang was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and said hesitantly, "This is a risky matter, and the situation at the Jin family's old house is complicated. The Jin family has deployed a lot of bodyguards and surveillance there. If we act rashly, we are likely to be exposed and may also endanger the safety of the hostages."
I hurriedly said, "Officer Zhang, the lives of pregnant Li and her child are in danger. We can't just stand by and watch them die. If we delay any longer, they might not be able to hold on. Please!"
At this time, Jiang Yichen took the phone and said in a steady tone: "Officer Zhang, this is indeed an emergency. Pregnant Li and her child are innocent and cannot become victims of the Jin family's conspiracy. I hope you can lend a hand. If you need me in the future, I will not refuse. I will also arrange my reliable bodyguards to cooperate with the police. They all have rich experience and can reduce the risk."
Officer Zhang seemed to be weighing the pros and cons. He could be heard breathing heavily from the other end of the line. He then sighed and said, "For your sake, I will trust you this time. I will gather the troops immediately. But let me be clear in advance. You must follow my instructions during the operation."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yichen looked at me with a firm look in his eyes: "With the help of Officer Zhang, they have a better chance of rescuing pregnant woman Li. But the Jin family's old house is indeed dangerous, so we can't take it lightly."
The night was as dark as ink, and the old house of the Jin family stood in the darkness, like a dormant beast, silent and dangerous. The towering walls cast heavy shadows in the moonlight, and there was deathly silence all around, with only the breeze passing through the treetops, bringing a rustling sound, like some kind of whisper, which seemed particularly clear in the silence.
Jiang Yichen and I hid in the bushes outside the old house wall, holding our breath and staring straight ahead. Inside the wall, several bodyguards were patrolling along a fixed route, and the beams of their flashlights drew several dazzling streaks of light in the darkness. Their footsteps were heavy and regular, like some kind of mechanical rhythm, which made people feel nervous.
"Their patrol interval is five minutes." Jiang Yichen lowered his voice and leaned close to my ear. His breath was warm and brushed past my ear, bringing a reassuring breath.
