She heard the sound of the engine when the vehicle was moving and concluded that it should be an old truck. The creaking sounds made from time to time seemed like it would fall apart at any time.
After driving for a while, the car stopped.
Lin Yuexi heard several people talking outside the car. The voices were low and vague, and she couldn't hear them clearly, but she could tell that they were speaking the language of the island country. This further confirmed Gong Mufeng's guess that they were indeed the power of the island country.
The car door was slammed open and Lin Yuexi was pulled out of the car.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, she felt the roughness and unevenness of the ground, like an abandoned factory or warehouse.
Then she was pushed into a room filled with a smell of damp and decay.
"Take off her blindfold." A deep voice sounded.
The black cloth in front of Lin Yuexi's eyes was torn off, and the strong light made her squint. After adapting for a while, she found herself in a dim room, surrounded by debris, and standing in the corner were several burly men in black, their eyes revealing ferocity and greed.
"Lin Yuexi, we know that you have the technology to manufacture new weapons. If you know what's best for you, hand over the blueprints. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
The leader, a tall man with a hideous scar on his face, walked forward and spoke viciously.
Lin Yuexi snorted coldly, thinking to herself, you want me to surrender with just this mob?
She raised her head, her eyes revealing a hint of disdain, and said, "Do you think you can threaten me like this? Since I dare to follow you, I am not afraid of you."
Upon hearing this, the scarred man's face darkened. He suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist, pressed it against Lin Yuexi's neck, and said viciously, "Don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit. I don't have much patience."
Lin Yuexi's heartbeat suddenly quickened, but she tried to keep herself calm, and quickly thought of a countermeasure in her mind.
She knew that she couldn't easily reveal the secret of the space, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Just then, there was a sudden noisy sound outside the room, like someone was fighting.
The scarred man and the other men in black suddenly became nervous. They clenched their weapons and looked towards the door vigilantly.
Lin Yuexi was delighted. Could it be that Gong Mufeng had brought people here? She quietly moved her feet, trying to find a chance to escape.
The scarred man noticed Lin Yuexi's intention. He grabbed Lin Yuexi's arm, pressed the dagger tighter, and shouted, "If you dare to move, I will kill you!"
The fighting outside the room became more and more intense, accompanied by gunshots and shouting. Lin Yuexi's heart was in her throat. She didn't know what the situation was outside, nor did she know whether Gong Mufeng was safe.
Suddenly, the door was slammed open, and a man in black covered in blood rushed in, shouting, "Oh no! We are surrounded!"
The scarred man's face suddenly changed, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. He glanced around the room in panic, then pushed Lin Yuexi forward and shouted to his men: "Stop her in front, rush out with me!"
Lin Yuexi was almost knocked down by the push. She was secretly angry, but pretended to be terrified on the surface and staggered towards the door.
Just as she approached the door, she took advantage of the masked man in black's unpreparedness, suddenly turned around, and slammed her knee into the abdomen of the man in black next to her.
The masked man in black groaned, subconsciously covered his stomach with his hands, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground.
Lin Yuexi bent down, picked up the dagger on the ground, and quickly cut the rope on her wrist.
At the same time, a group of soldiers armed with live ammunition rushed in from the door, led by Gong Mufeng.
His eyes were full of anxiety and concern. When he saw Lin Yuexi, he shouted, "Yuexi, are you okay?"
Lin Yuexi felt warm in her heart and responded loudly: "I'm fine!"
After saying that, she held the dagger and joined forces with the warriors led by Gong Mufeng to attack all the masked men in black.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the scarred man turned around and tried to escape through the window of the room.
Lin Yuexi was quick-witted and quick-handed. She rushed forward and threw the dagger in her hand towards the scarred man's back.
With a "puff" sound, the dagger pierced straight into the scarred man's back. He let out a scream, fell forward, and fell heavily to the ground.
When the other masked men in black saw their leader fall, they immediately lost their composure, threw away their weapons and armor, and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Gong Mufeng took a few steps forward, hugged Lin Yuexi tightly in his arms, and said with a trembling voice: "That's great, you are safe, I was really scared..."
Lin Yuexi gently patted Gong Mufeng on the back and comforted him, "Didn't I tell you? Believe me, I can definitely protect myself and the child."
Gong Mufeng then let go of Lin Yuexi. His eyes fell on Lin Yuexi's slightly bulging belly, full of tenderness and guilt: "Thank you for your hard work, Yuexi. It's all my fault that I couldn't protect you and the child."
Lin Yuexi smiled and shook her head: "Don't blame you, we succeeded. Moreover, through this operation, we have completely destroyed the island country's conspiracy base, and we will have less trouble in the future."
As the two were talking, the soldiers had subdued all the men in black.
Gong Mufeng arranged for the soldiers to search the abandoned warehouse carefully, leaving no corner untouched, to see if there were any hidden enemies or clues related to the conspiracy.
Soon, the soldiers found some documents and drawings in the basement of the warehouse. After preliminary identification, these were the materials related to the new weapons manufacturing technology. It seemed that the island country forces coveted Lin Yuexi's technical basis and attempted to obtain core secrets by kidnapping her.
Gong Mufeng looked at the documents with a gloomy face: "Although we have defeated them this time, they will definitely not give up. We must strengthen our precautions and not let them take advantage of us again."
Lin Yuexi nodded in agreement: "That's right, and we have to find the traitor hiding in the dark. Only when we completely eliminate this hidden danger can we truly feel at ease."
Just then, a soldier hurried over and reported that a suspicious man was found in a car outside the warehouse. He was sneaking around and seemed to be trying to destroy something.
Gong Mufeng and Lin Yuexi looked at each other, and they immediately walked out of the warehouse.
Gong Mufeng and Lin Yuexi walked quickly towards the car outside the warehouse, their hearts full of vigilance. Before they got close, they saw a hunched man squatting in the back seat of the car, tearing up the documents with his hands in panic, trying to light a match to burn them.
"Stop!" Gong Mufeng shouted, his voice echoing in the empty space like a huge bell.
The man was so frightened that he trembled all over and the matchbox in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".
He turned his head slowly, his face full of fear and despair.
Gong Mufeng took a closer look and found that the man was actually Lao Chen, who was in charge of logistics at the base. He was shocked and angry: "Lao Chen, why is it you?"
