Chapter 154 Meeting Nie Ronghua Again
Su Meng couldn't dodge in time. Just as she was about to hide in her spatial dimension, she caught a glimpse of the person running towards her out of the corner of her eye. She steeled herself and raised her hand to block them.
At the same time, a gunshot rang out.
Warm blood, like water from a tap that hadn't been turned off in time, sprayed all over her face and body.
The strong smell of blood made me dizzy and nauseous, and my stomach churned.
His face turned deathly pale instantly, and his vision went completely red.
Even the black tiles, the mottled yellow mud walls, and Nie Ronghua's tall figure were all bloodstained.
"Su Meng?"
Hearing Nie Ronghua's surprised exclamation, Su Meng raised her disheveled face and looked at him blankly, "Commander Nie? Thank you!"
Her voice trembled with tears, and her face was red and pale in patches.
Her hair and clothes were decorated with alternating red and white patterns.
He looked as disheveled as a stray cat.
Nie Ronghua frowned, and softened her voice, "What are you doing here?"
As he turned the corner, he saw Du Sumeng in danger. Without thinking, he shot her in the head.
"Were you scared?" Before Su Meng could speak, he took out his hand and patted it. "Quickly wipe it clean, there's a tap over there. You clean it first, I'm going to rescue people."
Upon hearing him say he wanted to save people, Su Meng immediately thought of Nie Pingting. "I heard Pingting's voice, but I don't know where she's being held."
Nie Ronghua nodded, led her to a courtyard, and told her, "Wait here, I'll be right back!"
Su Meng had no intention of holding anyone back.
After calming down, I heard Nie Pingting's voice again, sobbing softly, as if it were coming from behind several walls.
It's not very realistic.
I thought of the scarred man's dark room and underground cave.
I wondered if she might be locked in a cave or some other enclosed space.
There was no one in the courtyard.
However, everything in the house, from its furnishings to its utensils, clearly indicates that it has an owner.
As they approached the entrance to the main room, the weeping seemed to grow louder.
Nie Ronghua was about to jump over the wall, but seeing Su Meng's actions, he turned back worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Su Meng shushed her, "Listen."
Nie Ronghua's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. "Yes, she might be nearby."
They feared that the place where Nie Pingting was being held was guarded by thugs.
For her safety, the two searched the house stealthily.
Su Meng has experience in finding government agencies.
She "accidentally" kicked a small bump under the threshold of the main room.
The next second, the familiar "click-click" sound rang out.
Nie Ronghua stood in front of Su Meng with his gun, watching the source of the strange noise warily.
A crack appeared beside the smooth wall and the solemn shrine, then widened.
Nie Pingting's voice became even clearer.
Nie Ronghua and Su Meng stood close to the wall beneath the shrine.
After the strange noise, Nie Ronghua rushed inside.
"Pingting!"
Nie Pingting and six other girls were strung together with a rope as thick as a thumb, and looked at Nie Ronghua who had fallen from the sky with surprise.
"Uncle, we're here. Waaah..."
With Nie Pingting leading the way, the girls burst into tears one by one.
Su Meng stood at the door and glanced at it, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, is that Su Meng?" Nie Pingting asked in a low voice when she saw a blood-red figure appear. The bubbles coming out of her nostrils twitched as she shrank behind Nie Ronghua.
Nie Ronghua glanced at it, "Hmm!"
He paused, then added, "She saved you."
Nie Pingting: "......"
Upon hearing this, her eyes lit up, she stopped crying, and her gossip-loving spirit blazed brightly.
"Uncle, you've made up? You came together to save me?"
As she spoke, she hiccuped, "I knew you wouldn't be so blind as to miss out on such a wonderful girl."
Uncle, I like her too, and I want her to be my aunt.
Nie Ronghua's expression stiffened, his eyes darkened further, and he flicked her head with his finger. "Shut up! Everyone, get ready to leave."
Then he said in a low voice, "When I arrived, Su Meng was already there."
I don't know why she's here.
He wanted to ask, but dared not approach her, fearing she might become wary or annoyed.
Nie Pingting wiped away her tears and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, whispered, "Uncle, you like Su Meng, don't you?"
Why don't you go after her? Are you willing to lose such a good partner?
Nie Ronghua looked at Nie Pingting, who had regained her energy, and felt relieved. "Children shouldn't talk nonsense!"
As he stepped out of the main room, he saw Su Meng washing herself by the tap, and the coldness in his eyes lessened somewhat.
The little girl's face was white and moist after washing.
A few drops of water clung to the tips of her hair, threatening to fall.
Sunlight, hidden within water droplets, shimmered and shimmered, making her appear like a lotus emerging from the water, as if she were made of pearls.
She was about to clean the bloodstains off her clothes.
He curled his fingers slightly, then stepped forward.
Standing a meter away, he coughed lightly and handed over the jacket in his hand, "Comrade Su, time is of the essence, we must evacuate immediately."
Here! Wear mine to cover yourself first.
Su Meng turned around and her gaze met the top button of his white shirt.
My gaze shifted upwards, and I saw his polite yet distant expression. I reached out and took his gray leather jacket.
They had been inside for about two minutes, but no other comrades came in. She felt nervous and didn't dare to linger.
"Thank you! Did you come alone?" she asked.
Nie Ronghua: "Hmm! I found some clues here and came over ahead of time. Wait a minute!"
After saying that, he warned in a low voice, "Someone's coming from outside, hide first!"
The girls huddled by the courtyard gate were so frightened they wanted to scream, but a single glance from Nie Ronghua silenced them.
Su Meng pulled Nie Pingting over and whispered reassured her, "Don't be afraid! He's a soldier."
The title of "soldier" is indeed very useful.
Like frightened birds, the girls looked at Nie Ronghua with admiration, standing obediently behind Su Meng, each covering their mouths tightly.
Su Meng's tense heart relaxed a little.
I'm afraid these girls will scream or cry, causing unnecessary trouble.
Footsteps grew closer outside the courtyard gate.
There should be three people.
Su Meng held up three fingers to Nie Ronghua.
Nie Ronghua glanced at her in surprise, then nodded knowingly.
At this moment, one of the two stood to one side of the courtyard gate, their faces showing the same vigilant and serious expression.
A flash of cold light appeared, and a dagger appeared in her palm, startling Nie Pingting, who was standing right next to her, who gasped.
Nie Ronghua kept a close eye on her situation and shook his head at her, indicating that she didn't need to be nervous.
He can handle it alone.
As the footsteps drew closer, Nie Ronghua's tense expression gradually relaxed.
He stood up, and the murderous aura emanating from him quietly dissipated.
He looked at Su Meng gently and waved his hand.
The next second, the footsteps stopped outside the courtyard gate.
A familiar voice rang out, "This is the commander's mark; he must be inside."
"Xiao Liu." Nie Ronghua opened the courtyard gate and looked at the people outside. "Where's the car?"
Xiao Liu pointed to the alley entrance, "It's right outside. Commander, you had a great time this time."
Then, he looked at Su Meng and exclaimed in surprise, "Comrade Su, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be back at the military region?"
Su Meng smiled and nodded, glancing nervously around. "It's a long story."
Nie Ronghua glanced at her subtly, "Get in the car first! Everyone, hurry up."
Human traffickers are vicious and ruthless people, and even soldiers dare not be careless.
Besides, this is happening on someone else's turf.
Everyone immediately jogged back to the car.
The two jeeps roared away from the edge of the town.
Su Meng glanced back at the town that had disappeared from sight and let out a soft sigh.
"This place deserves a thorough investigation."
Commander Nie, thank you for saving my life.
That person was the leader of the human traffickers.
The other one who got lost was also part of the gang; he was probably a villager from the neighborhood.
He said he hoped the goods would be shipped out soon, as his mother was calling him back to harvest the rice.
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
They couldn't immediately equate the honest villagers with the cold-blooded human traffickers.
Nie Pingting tilted her head and whispered, "Is he really a villager? Are all those human traffickers villagers?"
"Su Meng, how did you end up here too? Were you also abducted?"
Although Nie Ronghua and the others did not ask, they were all listening intently.
Su Meng sighed, "I feel like I don't even dare to go out alone anymore."
She neither said yes nor no.
Nie Pingting and the others all believed it was the truth.
Several girls took turns recounting their experiences of being victimized.
Those six girls were tricked into coming here for the job.
Only Nie Pingting clenched her fists and said angrily, "I wasn't deceived. I was sold out because I stumbled upon the Sun family's dirty deeds."
Uncle, you must avenge me.
The Sun family not only resented us, but also grudged Su Meng.
Sun Qiao was guilty of a heinous crime for leaking secrets, yet they blamed us for not saving her, which led to her execution.
They also blamed Su Meng for ruining Sun Qiao and Commander Huo's plans, which led to his grandmother's arrival.
Their goal is to break up Su Meng and Huo Zhenhua.
Su Meng: "......"
How can there be such a family with warped values?
She felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.
Sun Qiao herself gave up on Huo Zhenhua and instead tried to commit suicide to marry Nie Ronghua.
How could her family have come up with something that would provoke Liu Cuihua to do something disgusting?
Seriously... I was thoroughly disgusted!
"Things aren't that simple. You should rest for a while, and I'll call you for dinner when we get to Zhou City."
Nie Ronghua was unwilling to discuss matters concerning the military region in front of others, and coldly interrupted Nie Pingting's complaints.
Nie Pingting glanced at the girls who were eavesdropping on the gossip, pouted, took Su Meng's arm, and closed her eyes.
Su Meng sighed and closed her eyes, her mind sinking into the space.
She glanced at the two "old oxen" working in the field, then turned to sorting out today's harvest.
There were 185 boxes, 150 of which contained gold, as well as some antiques and calligraphy and paintings.
There were also five boxes of ancient books.
The most unexpected thing was a box of foreign language books and periodicals on firearms, all of which were the latest editions.
There's also a box of bullets.
However, there were about ten experimental reports pressed under the magazine.
Su Meng took a closer look and was so shocked that her eyes widened, her scalp tingled, and her fingers trembled as she dropped the papers to the ground.
Those are all the latest research reports from domestic research institutes.
How did it end up being leaked?
Who is so powerful that they can extend their reach into several research institutes at the same time?
This is very important.
This must be reported!
They must be arrested!
She gradually calmed down, plotting how to submit these research reports in order to extricate herself unscathed.
After all, she came from the small town empty-handed, still wearing Nie Ronghua's leather jacket.
As dusk fell, the jeep drove into Zhoushan City.
It stopped directly in front of the armed forces department.
Nie Ronghua opened the car door and stood beside the car. "Xiao Liu, take these six women to the Armed Forces Department and make sure they are safely returned."
"Su Meng, do you want to call Director Jiang?"
