Chapter 275: This is an order
Xu Xiaoyue stayed in the cave all night, holding the stolen knife in her hand, and she didn't sleep at all.
She didn't dare to burn the fire too brightly for fear of attracting attention.
The faint sparks shone on the girl's face, clearly showing Xu Xiaoyue's current embarrassment.
Her hair was a mess after running all the way, and her feet were scratched with several marks. Now even if she disguised herself as a crazy woman, most people would probably not recognize her.
This night was the most difficult night she had ever experienced since she came into this world.
There was no water, no food, and the cave was full of bugs.
As soon as the sky was getting light, Xu Xiaoyue turned off the engine, wrapped her clothes tightly, and walked down the mountain again.
It is not safe here yet. She has to go down the mountain and see living people, only then can she truly escape from the jaws of death.
Xu Xiaoyue didn't dare to bet whether the two people who kidnapped her were still looking for her. To be cautious, she didn't even dare to take the main road and specifically chose a winding path.
The people in the police station didn't work seriously. Even though the screening criteria given by Yan Ye were clear enough, they just worked slowly and leisurely.
They could see that Chief Zhang and Commander Yan from the capital did not get along.
It is said that even a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake.
Even if Yan Ye is a high-ranking official, he will have to go back after staying here for two or three days.
If we act so actively now and Zhang holds a grudge against us, it would be more trouble than it is gained.
Xiao Zhang knew clearly what his colleagues were thinking. These people were all quite experienced and had already become experienced people, so he couldn't do anything about them.
Fortunately, the police station's files were clearly classified, and after searching for more than an hour, I actually found some valuable clues.
Five years ago, someone opened a textile factory in the Nanshan area, but the factory was poorly managed and declared bankruptcy. The factory became vacant, and several workers who were forced to be laid off could not accept this and caused a commotion, which unfortunately led to a stampede and death.
Xiao Zhang showed the information he found to Yan Ye for review. The man glanced at the information and frowned.
"How far is this place from here?" Yan Ye asked.
Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment. He estimated the distance. "Not far, about ten kilometers."
"It only takes twenty minutes by car."
"Take the car keys and lead the way."
Yan Ye's words were concise and to the point, and Xiao Zhang immediately understood what he meant.
But after he realized it, the man couldn't hide the surprise on his face. He was too narrow-minded. He thought Yan Ye would not let him participate in this matter because of the previous unpleasantness.
The textile factory was built on a mountain, and the two found a secluded place at the foot of the mountain and parked the car.
Yan Ye glanced at the mountain. It was covered with lush trees and there was a stream flowing down the mountain.
He thought of several names in his mind. After thinking about it, the only family that could be so reckless as to kidnap Xu Xiaoyue could be the Jiang family, which fell together with the Yan family.
Xiao Zhang led the way in front, looking back at the man from time to time.
Yan Ye noticed his hesitant gaze and raised his eyelids, "What do you want to say?"
After being caught peeking, Xiao Zhang curled his fingers and said, "You obviously know that I like her."
"Aren't you afraid that bringing me along this time will affect your relationship?"
Xiao Zhang saw with his own eyes the two of them arguing fiercely last time, and intermittent noises could be heard coming from the door.
Yan Ye sneered as if he had heard something funny, "Because of you?"
"Confidence is a good thing, but blind confidence is arrogance."
When Xiao Zhang heard this, he was full of dissatisfaction. Given his age, at least he was still young and it wouldn't be a problem for him to wait a few years.
These days, Xiao Zhang was feeling quite lost when he went back home. It was not a pleasant feeling to be directly rejected by his sweetheart.
But think about it, he is at least still young. The person Xu Xiaoyue likes now is Yan Ye, but it doesn’t mean she will still like him in the future.
His mother often said that when two people live together, they are like tongue and teeth, and it is inevitable that they will clash.
Xiao Zhang doesn't have any big ambitions. He can't be the biological father of the child in Xu Xiaoyue's belly, but he can study hard to be a good stepfather.
He thought so and muttered it quietly as if he was talking to himself.
Yan Ye had good hearing and heard everything Xiao Zhang muttered.
He raised his head and glanced at the sun hanging high in the sky, his tone full of undisguised sneer.
"Don't even think about it, you won't have the chance."
"That's not necessarily true."
Xiao Zhang retorted, and after talking about this, his fear of Yan Ye was alleviated a lot.
Perhaps in terms of ability, he will never be able to catch up with Yan Ye in this lifetime.
But when it comes to his sweetheart, Xiao Zhang still doesn't want to appear too cowardly.
Xiao Zhang was still too young, and Yan Ye saw through his shallow thoughts almost at a glance.
Not only has his wife been kidnapped, but now a suitor has appeared and looks eager to join them at any time.
If Yan Ye hadn't been broad-minded, he would have been so angry that he vomited blood halfway through the journey.
He sneered, took a few steps forward, and replaced Xiao Zhang's position to lead the way.
The two walked in silence for most of the day and were about to reach the abandoned factory.
Yan Ye paused and turned to look at Xiao Zhang: "I will be responsible for holding back the people inside when we go in later."
"As for you, check Xu Xiaoyue's whereabouts room by room, and take her away directly after you find her."
"Then you...+"
He took Xu Xiaoyue away, and Yan Ye who stayed behind would only be more troublesome.
Yan Ye said calmly, "Don't worry about me. You have only one goal, to find her and take her away."
He came here with full determination this time.
The person who kidnapped Xu Xiaoyue was an old acquaintance of the Yan family.
He was the one the other party wanted, and at most he would just suffer some physical pain.
Xiao Zhang moved his lips but was reluctant to agree. Yan Ye's meaning was very clear. He wanted to sacrifice himself to hold back that group of people.
His mind told him that this was the best outcome, but emotionally speaking, Xiao Zhang was really going against his conscience by abandoning his teammates.
The first lesson he learned when he took up the job was loyalty.
Be loyal to your country, be loyal to your teammates, and be loyal to yourself.
"no."
Xiao Zhang said his refusal, and Yan Ye looked at him, "This is an order, you just need to obey."
Xiao Zhang was still struggling to say something when bursts of groans were heard from the abandoned old factory.
Shunzi fell to the ground, feeling pain all over his body.
He kept kowtowed and kneeled down to beg for mercy to the person in front of him. If time could go back, he would stay by Xu Xiaoyue's side to guard her and not let her run away, even if he didn't eat, drink or sleep.
"Didn't you say you could find it?"
"Where are the people?"
The man had a blank expression on his face, his eyes fixed on Shunzi lying on the ground, his cold gaze as if he was looking at a dead object.
