The soldiers who weren't seriously injured quickly got up, tore a piece of cloth from one of the rioters, tied it to their comrade's wounded leg, gave it a quick bandage to stop the bleeding, and took guns and bullets from the dead man. "Let's go!"
"It must be that female student, her marksmanship is amazing! That was a long-range sniping shot."
The two of them helped each other run into the woods to hide.
"The footprints end here!"
They are all professionally trained soldiers.
The footprints are gone.
Based on the approximate direction from which the bullet had been fired, they realized something.
“That student is very smart. Ms. He’s physical strength is really not good. It’s hard to run with her.”
“Then let’s keep going. The rioters will only follow our trail. They’ll be safer.”
Song Yan couldn't hear anything; he just watched them enter the woods...
Gunshots could be heard in the distance. Two more groups of people arrived.
"Nobody's here, the whole villa is lifeless..."
"The person ran away; there are footprints here!"
"One of our men died over there..."
There were many people this time, and Song Yan didn't dare to move.
Our personnel are pursuing us...
Song Yan couldn't let herself go hungry, so she ate while keeping her eyes constantly on the outside.
The light rain continued to fall, and Song Yan watched those people running in the rain.
In the basement, Ms. He held a thermos of hot water. This water was so comforting; its temperature made her feel alive and well…
By afternoon, the rain had stopped. The sound of gunfire ceased.
The troops surrounded the villa. It was our troops. Song Yan watched as a group of men followed the footprints into the woods…
"Report! A full search was conducted, but Ms. He was not found..."
The sound came from inside the villa, but Song Yan listened carefully and didn't hear any other voices.
Song Yan knew that everything should be alright, but she wanted to wait a little longer until she was more certain before coming out. Today's events had been too terrifying; she was terrified!
Song Yan couldn't see who was inside the villa.
The people in the villa now feel that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were being fried in oil and roasted over a fire.
Shen Changchuan's heart was filled with bitterness. If something happened to Song Yan, would he still have the right to acknowledge Shen Qian in this lifetime?
What he told Yueyue was that he had personally sent her mother to the battlefield.
Secretary Fang felt the same way. He told Song Yan that this was for the greater good of the nation… Of course, he was doing it for the greater good of the nation; after that came personal feelings… He was destined to live with guilt for the rest of his life!
We were extremely cautious in protecting Ms. He, and arranged for Song Yan to be used. At the time, we felt there was only a one percent chance that we would need her. But that one percent happened.
Where there is struggle, there is sacrifice, but it is too cruel.
General Shen and Secretary Fang remained silent, staring at the corpses laid out on the ground.
No one expected it to be this tragic. Foreign infiltrators and lurking agents, and they possessed a large quantity of weapons…
The infiltrators knew the support personnel's route, and they devised a plan to intercept the support team…
The initial joy of finding key suspects was gone.
The only living person in the villa was Gu Yansong, who was found under the bed. However, he was incoherent, saying that Song Yan wanted to kill him. He said Song Yan had killed someone, broken their arm and leg, and even snapped their arm…
The body of Xia Sao, the villa's housekeeper, matched what Gu Yansong had described.
General Shen didn't know what had happened to make Song Yan treat Xia Sao so cruelly. But it also showed that their situation was very bad at the time.
It wasn't until Gu Yansong saw Xia's body lying in front of him that he realized, "She killed someone, Yan Jincui, and a soldier!" Only then did Gu Yansong regain his composure and know that he was not dead.
No one expected that Sister Xia was a spy.
This explains why Song Yan acted so ruthlessly.
"Two members of the guard team are still alive." Soldiers outside carried two stretchers. The people on the stretchers were seriously injured but not in life-threatening condition.
"Reporting, sir, we are still alive!" the wounded soldier said.
General Shen: "Good, very good! You are all excellent soldiers."
Secretary Fang: "Where are Ms. He and Song Yan who is with her? Do you know?"
"Go over there!" the wounded soldier pointed to the bathroom.
Song Yan watched as people kept jumping out of the bathroom window, followed by injured people being helped out.
General Shen and Secretary Fang followed closely behind.
This tiny window has now become a door.
Song Yan slowly slid down the tree trunk. She couldn't jump down for the sake of her child.
"...We fell into the hands of the rioters. They wanted to kill me. It was Song Yan who killed them. It must have been her. I think the shot came from that direction."
Everyone looked in the direction the soldier was pointing…
General Shen and Secretary Fang watched as Song Yan, carrying a gun, slowly climbed down from the tree.
"Song Yan! It's Song Yan!"
Commander Shen shouted with joy, causing the guards who were preparing to take aim to stop.
"Yes! It's Song Yan!" Secretary Fang's heart leaped back to life.
Shen Changchuan and Secretary Fang were so happy they didn't know what to do.
The soldiers looked at the two large trees with their dense canopies. They hadn't been careless because of their location and the dense canopies, but they hadn't noticed anything before.
Secretary Fang held Song Yan's hand, "You are amazing, you are outstanding, you..." Tears streamed down his face.
Han, being more rational, ran over and asked, "Song Yan, where is Ms. He?"
"Follow me!" Song Yan jumped in through the small window again and led everyone to the basement.
Song Yan knocked on the door first: "Aunt He, it's me, Song Yan. Open the door, our people are here now, it's safe."
Song Yan took out his key from his pocket, and the basement lock clicked open.
Secretary Fang sighed, "Everyone seems to lose sight of what's right in front of them when they're in a hurry!"
Shen Changchuan: "This door has such a big padlock hanging on it, so this part has been overlooked."
Han, the clerk: "Everyone wants to follow in the footsteps."
The basement was quiet; no one responded to Song Yan's knocking. Song Yan stopped knocking. "Aunt He, it's me, it's Song Yan..."
Aunt He…”
No one responded, and everyone became nervous.
“Song Yan…”
Finally, there was a response from inside.
"It's me, we're safe." Song Yan's voice was also very excited.
The sound of a bolt being pulled came from the basement.
When Ms. He saw Song Yan, she first hugged her.
"My child, I couldn't have survived without you! Thank you!"
Once everything had settled, Song Yan realized she was completely weak. She and Ms. He helped each other out.
