Gu Yanzhi followed the route in his memory, not forgetting to drop a few time bombs along the way.
Yan Yu had disappeared somewhere, and Gu Yanzhi walked smoothly without encountering him all the way to the stairwell where the window was.
Gu Yanzhi used a hammer to break open the window, and the sound of shattering glass echoed throughout the room.
The window was small, just big enough for one person to squeeze through. Gu Yanzhi took out a set of high-altitude work safety ropes from his storage space, skillfully tied them around his body, and then hooked the other end of the rope onto the stairs.
Gu Yanzhi had just finished tying the rope when he heard hurried footsteps. It seemed that the sound of the glass breaking had alerted Yan Yu, who had come looking for him.
Ignoring the shards of glass still hanging on the window, Gu Yanzhi quickly climbed out of the window and manipulated the rope to slide down rapidly. The sharp glass cut her delicate skin, and bright red blood flowed out. Drops of blood flowed from her body and were dried by the scorching sun outside before they could even hit the ground.
A sense of crisis welled up inside Gu Yanzhi, and he quickly released the rope binding him, falling from the air. What he saw when he looked up was Yan Yu's crazed and gloomy eyes through the narrow window and the gleaming hook in his hand.
Fortunately, she wasn't far from the ground. Before landing, Gu Yanzhi quickly threw several thick mattresses onto the ground as cushioning.
As soon as he landed, Gu Yanzhi ignored the pain in his body, quickly got up, found a car in his space, got in, started the engine, drove away, and then pressed the explosive button in his hand.
With a loud "boom," flames shot into the sky.
The scorching heatwave overturned Gu Yanzhi's car, causing it to roll several times on the ground, and then Gu Yanzhi knew nothing more.
When Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin arrived, this was the scene they saw.
The building in front of him vanished in an instant, thick smoke billowing out. In his despair, Song Zhao saw a dark figure rolling out of the smoke.
He and Gu Yanlin broke free from the people blocking their way and rushed over. The car door was already deformed from being squeezed and became hot to the touch under the heat and the sun. As soon as Song Zhao's hand touched the car door, it made a sizzling sound, and a smell of roasted meat wafted out from the pungent smoke.
Fortunately, the person inside was the one they loved most.
Gu Yanlin carefully carried the person out of the car. Song Zhao's hands trembled as she checked Gu Yanzhi's breath. The person was still alive. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and then ran desperately towards the capital base.
When Gu Yanzhi woke up again, the distinctive smell of disinfectant from the hospital filled her nostrils, carrying a cold and pungent odor that gradually cleared her hazy consciousness.
She tried to move her body, but found that her whole body ached as if it had been run over by a wheel, and even the slightest movement became extremely difficult.
The dull throbbing pain at the back of her head made her frown. The pain felt like a tangible entity, constantly pounding in her mind, making it almost unbearable. She tried to touch it with her hand, but due to her weakness, she could only touch it lightly. Even so, it was enough to make her gasp.
"Sister, you're awake!" Gu Yanzhi turned her head slightly and saw Gu Yanlin sitting by the bed, his eyes filled with concern and worry. He looked a little tired, but he was forcing himself to appear more awake.
Gu Yanlin quickly helped Gu Yanzhi sit up and lean her against the bed. Then he picked up the water glass from the bedside table and carefully fed Gu Yanzhi a few sips. The water soothed Gu Yanzhi's parched throat, making her feel a little better.
"What time is it?" Gu Yanzhi asked, her voice hoarse from not speaking for a long time.
Gu Yanlin glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table and replied, "It's already afternoon, sis. You've been unconscious all day."
"What happened to your hand?" Gu Yanzhi noticed that one of Gu Yanlin's hands was wrapped in thick gauze.
"I got burned," Gu Yanlin said nonchalantly, moving his tightly bandaged left hand.
Then he told her everything that had happened on the day Gu Yanzhi fell into a coma.
After Gu Yanzhi fainted from the impact, he was taken to the hospital by Gu Yanlin and Song Zhao. Fortunately, he was brought in time. Gu Yanzhi had lost some blood and had some minor cuts and scrapes on his body, but fortunately, he was not in danger of getting sick.
Gu Yanzhi's headache was due to being hit by the car and then hitting his head when the car rolled over, resulting in a concussion.
The doctor predicted that Gu Yanzhi would not wake up for at least a day, so Gu Yanlin and Song Zhao stayed with her at the hospital all day. Seeing that it was almost time, Song Zhao went home early to cook some food that Gu Yanzhi could eat now, and should be back soon.
Yan Yu also planted a large amount of explosives in the building where Gu Yanzhi was kidnapped, originally intending to lure them all there and perish together.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yanzhi beat them to it. Under the power of Gu Yanzhi's compressed bomb, the original bombs were also detonated.
This caused a building with construction strength comparable to a military fortress to collapse and become a ruin.
It took Chu Guodong and his men most of the day to find two unrecognizable corpses from the rubble and dust. They were confirmed to be Yan Yu and his henchman.
Now, the last people left behind by Yan Yu have been eliminated, and the Chu family has completely taken control of the capital base.
Chu Guodong has been promoted to the highest military commander of the capital base, and the father and son firmly control the capital base.
As Chu Guodong's confidants, the original members of the 532nd Squad were also scattered and dispersed to various military districts. Gu Yanlin was too young and had not been in the army for long, so he was not entrusted with important tasks for the time being. Instead, he followed Chu Guodong and served as his adjutant, which also raised his status.
The original head of the security department at the capital base was a member of the Yan family, but he was eliminated by the Chu family during this upheaval. The current head of the security department was promoted from among the former deputy heads, and he is also backed by the Chu family.
The newly appointed Minister of Security is in his forties and was a former soldier. He has many hidden injuries and will retire in a few years. If Song Zhao hadn't been so inexperienced, Chu Guodong would have directly promoted him to Minister of Security. Now, he's making Song Zhao a deputy minister to gain experience, and after the minister retires in a few years, Song Zhao will naturally take over the position.
Gu Yanlin and Song Zhao were not in a hurry to take up their posts, and planned to wait until Gu Yanzhi recovered from his injuries before doing so.
Just then, Song Zhao returned with the food.
The doctor instructed Gu Yanzhi to eat only light food after waking up. Song Zhao's cooking was simple: plain porridge with a few light dishes.
Seeing the same type of gauze in Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin's hands, Gu Yanzhi showed concern again.
After the meal, the doctor also came to check and confirmed that Gu Yanzhi was fine. As long as he takes good care of himself, he will be fine once his injuries heal.
Seeing the dark circles under Gu Yanlin and Song Zhao's eyes, Gu Yanzhi realized that they hadn't rested during her coma either. She urged them to go home and rest, as she had a terrible headache and needed to continue resting; she didn't need anyone to stay with her.
