Chapter 217 The traitorous woman is arrested, and her parents cause a scene at her home!
Elena didn't let her finish speaking; she straightened up, a playful, cat-and-mouse expression on her face.
"Your mission is complete, but your value has also come to an end."
She raised the dagger and plunged it into Yunlan's heart without hesitation.
Yunlan screamed in fright and closed her eyes.
"Bang!"
The expected excruciating pain did not come; instead, the lighthouse's iron gate was kicked open from the outside.
Zhou Qihang charged in like a furious lion, punching Elena in the cheek.
Elena reacted extremely quickly, changing the direction of the dagger and slashing towards Zhou Qihang's arm.
Zhou Qihang dodged to the side, his fighting skills honed in the military were wide and powerful, each move a potential killing blow.
Elena's skills were even more unpredictable and ruthless. Her movements were unlike any known fighting techniques. Every attack was aimed at the vital points of the human body, and every move was fatal.
Zhou Qihang was, after all, a soldier. Although brave, he was far less experienced in such life-or-death battles than Elena, a professional intelligence chief.
In less than ten rounds, a deep, bone-revealing wound was slashed open on his shoulder by a dagger, and blood instantly stained half of his clothes.
Elena kicked him in the knee, and Zhou Qihang groaned as he knelt on one knee.
Is it worth it for a woman who betrayed you?
Elena pressed her dagger against his throat and asked in fluent Chinese.
Zhou Qihang raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You beast wouldn't understand."
"Then go die."
A murderous glint flashed in Elena's eyes, and with a flick of her wrist, she was about to plunge the dagger down.
"boom!"
Another loud bang.
This time, another window of the lighthouse was smashed in an even more violent way.
Gu Beichen descended like a divine warrior from the heavens, kicking Elena's wrist as she held the knife.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.
Elena let out a painful groan as the dagger flew out of her hand.
Before she could even react, Gu Beichen's second kick arrived, landing heavily on her abdomen.
Elena flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing hard into the wall.
Almost simultaneously, dozens of heavily armed commandos poured in through the door and windows, their dark gun barrels locking onto Elena from all sides.
Yun Lan, who was paralyzed with fear, saw Gu Beichen as if he were her savior and scrambled over to him. "Commander Gu! Save me!"
Gu Beichen didn't even look at her.
Elena slowly stood up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
She glanced at her deformed wrist, then at the gun barrels around her, and instead of fear, a strange smile appeared on her face.
She lost.
But she didn't seem to care.
Zhou Qihang was helped up by two medics, who gave him a simple bandage.
He walked up to Gu Beichen, his face filled with remorse. "Commander Gu, I'm sorry, I acted without authorization."
He explained that he became suspicious after noticing that Yunlan was acting strangely.
After learning that the transport convoy had an accident and that he was a suspect, he decided to play along, pretending to disappear, changing into plain clothes, and secretly investigating, all in order to personally expose the person behind Yunlan.
He wanted to give the Huo family an explanation, and also to give himself an explanation.
Gu Beichen patted him on the shoulder. "You're a good soldier."
In the battle at Nanwan Wharf, Elena was captured alive, and her "Seagull" squad, which had been lurking on Hainan Island, was wiped out.
Zhou Qihang was exempted from all punishment due to his significant meritorious service in making amends for his past mistakes.
His marriage with Yunlan was finally dissolved.
As for Yunlan, she will face the most severe trial by a military court.
A huge disturbance caused by foreign enemy agents has finally been completely quelled.
The Gu family courtyard has finally returned to its long-awaited warmth and tranquility.
During her postpartum confinement, Su Yue's body recovered remarkably well under the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, and she was even more energetic than before giving birth.
The two little ones, Gu Pingan and Gu Ningjing, have become the apple of the family's eye.
Commander Gu, who was once decisive and ruthless on the battlefield and could strike fear into the hearts of his enemies, has now become a full-time stay-at-home dad.
Changing diapers is a clumsy yet careful process, for fear of accidentally hurting the soft little one.
She was completely focused when breastfeeding, holding the baby in a stiff posture as if she were carrying out some top-level mission.
This stark contrast often made Su Yue unable to help but chuckle.
The sun was shining brightly that afternoon.
Su Yue was sunbathing on a deck chair in the yard, while Gu Beichen was squatting by the cradle, trying to feed the crying An'an milk powder.
"Does he not like the taste?"
The man frowned, studying the baby bottle in his hand with a serious expression, as if he were analyzing some complex battle map.
Su Yue yawned lazily: "No, you're not in the right position, he choked."
Gu Beichen immediately adjusted his posture, his movements stiff as a robot.
Just then, a guard rushed in from outside the courtyard and whispered a few words to Gu Beichen.
Gu Beichen paused.
"Let them wait." He shoved the bottle back into Nanxing's hand, then got up and walked toward the front door.
Su Yue sat up straight.
At the entrance of the military compound, a brand-new jeep was parked on the roadside with a mainland license plate.
A well-dressed middle-aged couple, clearly not from an ordinary family, were being stopped at the door by two sentries.
The man had a beer belly, wore a gold watch, and looked impatient.
The woman, with her fashionable perm and wearing a polyester dress, was pointing at the sentry's nose and yelling.
"Do you know who we are? We are Yunlan's parents! We want to see your Commander Gu and have him give us an explanation!"
"Exactly! My daughter is an innocent person, and she's been ruined by the Gu family and is now lying in the hospital. They must take responsibility!"
This couple were Yunlan's parents, who had rushed over from the mainland.
Their voices were sharp and shrill, quickly attracting a crowd of military wives who had come out for a walk after lunch.
"What's going on? Aren't these the parents of Deputy Regiment Commander Yun's wife?"
"I heard Yunlan was arrested. Are they here to cause trouble?"
Amid the commotion, Yunlan's mother, seeing that more and more people were gathering, simply sat down on the ground and began to slap her thighs and wail.
"This is outrageous! The Gu family is bullying us! They've ruined my perfectly good daughter!"
"What did my daughter do wrong that they're arresting her? They won't even let us, her parents, see her! They're trying to drive us old folks to our deaths!"
She cried uncontrollably, and the military wives who were unaware of the truth gradually began to look at her with a hint of sympathy.
