Jiang Qiao's heart skipped a beat when she thought of Song Shutian's action group. Not only did the other side want to take her down, but Song Shutian and his group were also part of their scheme.
She didn't dare to think about the consequences; she could only say they were very serious, endangering not only the Gu family but also those other families.
Having figured this out, Jiang Qiao abandoned her previous idea of going with these three people to search for clues. That woman definitely wouldn't meet up with these three people, so the only option now was to let these three people stay.
But thinking about her current situation, she has a headache. Her fingers are all tied up by the other party. These bastards are afraid that she will cause some more accidents.
Jiang Qiao winked at Zhao Jian and gestured with her lips. Zhao Jian hesitated at this moment. Jiang Qiao meant for him to deal with the truck driver, but what about the man in front of him? Jiang Qiao was still in the other party's hands.
With his hands behind his back, he made a gesture to the people below.
He was still negotiating with the man, "I need to confirm whether our bureau chief is still alive?"
If you don't agree to this condition, there's nothing more to discuss. We have more people, so we won't suffer any losses.
To put it bluntly, I suffer no loss whatsoever from the deaths of Jiang Qiao and the others; in fact, I will receive a reward for your deaths.
Who knows, I might even earn merit by killing a few enemy agents, don't you think?
I'll give you a few minutes to think it over. Release Song Zhi, and you can take Jiang Qiao with you. Otherwise, let's see who survives to the end.
Zhao Jian was also gambling, betting that the other party valued their life. However, he was really unsure of himself. Anyway, he had already prepared for the worst-case scenario: if necessary, he could just open fire.
The man hesitated at this moment. He could tell that Zhao Jian was not lying. If they really went to fight, not only would they not have enough weapons, but they also wouldn't have enough to fight the enemy head-on. Besides, they didn't have enough men.
They had already done their best to hold Zhao Jian back. Besides, with Jiang Qiao in their hands, even if Song Zhi was handed over, it wouldn't have much of an impact on them.
"You'll keep your word. I'll hand over Song Zhi, and then you'll let us leave?"
Zhao Jian nodded. "Absolutely no exaggeration. Release our bureau chief, and you can take Jiang Qiao with you."
"Alright, go and bring the people over here. Zhao Jian, don't try anything funny. Tell your men to get out of the way right now, or we'll all perish together."
Jiang Qiao blinked at Zhao Jian. This was all they could do for now. They hoped that once Song Zhi was rescued, they could communicate with Song Shutian and urge him to take action quickly.
Zhao Jian was afraid that Jiang Qiao might have some thoughts on her mind, so he looked at Jiang Qiao again and saw her grinning. He knew that he had done the right thing this time.
The man helped Jiang Qiao into the car, then pushed Song Zhi to the side of the car. "See? Song Zhi is alive and well. You all get out of my way right now."
Zhao Jian nodded. "Get out of the way, but put our bureau chief down first, or we're done."
Seeing that the road ahead had cleared and the other driver had already started his car, Song Zhi was thrown out of the car the instant it flew off.
"Quickly, someone take the bureau chief back and to the hospital. Be quick. The rest of you, go after him!"
Zhao Jian had no idea what Song Zhi's condition was. Was he poisoned or what?
An elderly man standing nearby noticed something amiss: "Quick, rub him with snow, and give him water."
You know, in the dead of winter, even spitting can freeze into ice, let alone someone like Song Zhi. Right there in the freezing cold, Song Zhi was actually woken up by the cold.
To be honest, he only took two puffs. The drug's potency lies in this: it knocks you out as soon as you touch it. However, the drug's best effect is when you drink it; once it's in your stomach, the effect is truly remarkable.
The enemy agents simply didn't have that opportunity, so they had to resort to this method. As for how long it could last, that depended on the physical condition of the person being drugged.
Some people may sleep for a whole day, while others will wake up in an hour or two.
Jiang Qiao and Song Zhi both had bodies enhanced by spatial artifacts, so to be honest, the effects of the medicine were greatly reduced on them.
Song Zhi opened his eyes and saw Zhao Jian's anxious gaze. "You guys? Where's Qiao'er? Where is Jiang Qiao?"
Zhao Jian gave a wry smile. "They took you away, but we've already sent people to chase after you. It was Jiang Qiao's idea; she told me to try to keep you here."
Actually, I didn't want them to leave, but they threatened Jiang Qiao's life, so I had no choice.
Song Zhi immediately sat up; the coldness beneath him cleared his mind considerably.
"Where's Dou Yanhua? Have you seen her?"
Zhao Jian shook his head and casually mentioned his suspicions and the other party's behavior.
"Quickly, send men to get the surrounding garrisons to assist in searching the mountains and sealing off all exits. Be fast, send me to the labor camp—"
Now is not the time to worry about health. After hearing the whole story, Song Zhi had a feeling that things were not so simple. He and Zhao Jian had the same judgment: Dou Yanhua must have gotten off the bus halfway.
More importantly, the situation on Song Shutian's side is also not good. The enemy has already extended their reach here. It's impossible for that woman to stay obediently on the other side.
Zhao Jian wanted to take Song Zhi to the hospital for a checkup, but Song Zhi waved his hand.
"I know my own body best."
After saying that, they got in the car and drove straight in. According to the route, the distance back to the city was much farther than that of the labor camp. If they wanted to contact Song Shutian as soon as possible, this was the fastest way.
The others, led by Zhao Jian, went directly into the mountains. Song Zhi took a subordinate back to ask for help and also took Jiang Qiao's car away.
The comrades at the labor camp were quite surprised to see Song Zhi return. They wondered what was going on today, why it was so lively there, and why people were still coming and going so late.
Song Zhi didn't waste any words and directly borrowed a phone from the doorway to contact the garrison for help.
Subsequently, he contacted Song Shutian again. Upon hearing the news from Song Zhi, Song Shutian couldn't sit still any longer.
"What? Jiang Qiao has been taken away? Okay, I know. You guys immediately find someone to follow those two cars. Alright, I know. You guys also need to be extra careful and make sure Jiang Qiao is safe."
After hanging up the phone, Song Shutian slumped into a chair. He never dreamed that this was a trap set by the enemy. He had been wondering why this woman was running in this direction. It turned out that she was trying to lure them here so that they could be caught in one fell swoop.
After figuring things out, Song Shutian woke up everyone who was resting downstairs and made a series of phone calls, making it clear that the night would be anything but peaceful.
Jiang Qiao has been taken hostage. Not to mention Song Shutian, even Liu Zhanyu and the others are furious. So many of them have been tricked by a woman. Anyone would feel bad in that situation.
Moreover, Jiang Qiao's fate is unknown. If these bastards are not brought to justice, they will all be letting themselves and Jiang Qiao down.
