Finally, the two arrived at the suburbs designated by the criminals.
This place is deserted and covered with weeds.
In a remote mountain corner, there is a small house.
A faint light shone through the window of the house, which seemed particularly abrupt in this dark environment.
Lin Yuexi parked the motorcycle, stared at the window through which the light was coming, took a deep breath, and walked towards the house without hesitation.
Gong Mufeng followed her quietly like a ghost, his figure hidden in the darkness, observing his surroundings vigilantly, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
Lin Yuexi approached the door step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on her own heartbeat. She could feel her heartbeat getting faster and faster, as if it was about to burst through her chest.
Finally, she arrived at the door, paused for a moment, reached out and gently pushed it. The door creaked open slowly, and she walked straight in...
Lin Yuexi walked into the house, and a stale and decayed smell hit her face. The house was dimly lit, and an old oil lamp was swaying in the corner, emitting a weak light, which twisted the shadows around it into a weird shape.
"You're finally here." A hoarse voice in English-accented Mandarin came from the darkness, with a hint of pride and teasing in the tone.
Lin Yuexi quickly estimated that it was the sound of a conspiracy from Country N. Unexpectedly, she had already alarmed Country N. The weapons manufacturing drawings were from the 22nd century, which country would not want?
She calmed down and quickly searched the house, trying to find the source of the sound.
At the other end of the room, she saw several blurry figures, among them were two masked and hooked-nosed men holding two children - those were the two little babies she had been thinking about day and night, Gong Yichen and Gong Yutong.
"You can want whatever you want, but please don't hurt my child!" Lin Yuexi was anxious and couldn't help shouting.
She wanted to rush over and hug the baby, but was afraid of angering the criminals, so she could only suppress her inner impulse and stand where she was.
"Want a child? Hand over all the weapon manufacturing drawings and methods."
Another figure walked out of the shadows. This man was tall and wore a hideous mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, which revealed greed and ferocity.
This person speaks with a authentic Chinese accent. It seems that an important spy from Country N has appeared in China.
"Traitor..." Lin Yuexi cursed in her heart, but said calmly, "I can give the things to you, but you have to promise to hand over the child to me intact..."
"Humph, do you think you are qualified to negotiate with us?" The masked man snorted coldly, with a trace of disdain in his eyes. "But since you are quite sensible, as long as you hand over the things obediently, we will naturally release the child."
Lin Yuexi took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, her brain working rapidly.
She knew that these people were cunning and that even if she handed over the weapon manufacturing drawings and methods, she could not guarantee the safety of her children.
But at this moment, she had to delay time and wait for Gong Mufeng to find an opportunity to take action.
"Okay, I can give it to you. But these drawings and methods are all in my mind, and I need paper and pen to write them down." Lin Yuexi said calmly.
The masked man looked suspicious and stared at Lin Yuexi for a long time, as if trying to determine whether she was playing any tricks. After a moment, he waved his hand and signaled his men to hand over paper and pen.
Lin Yuexi took the paper and pen, pretended to think, and slowly began to write. As she wrote, she observed the movements of the criminals in the house from the corner of her eye.
In addition to the masked man and the man holding the child, there were three other gangsters scattered around the house, staring at her vigilantly.
Just when Lin Yuexi had written a few lines, she suddenly heard a slight sound coming from outside the house, like the sound of a branch being stepped on.
The gangsters in the house became alert instantly, and one of them walked towards the door to check the situation.
Lin Yuexi's heart tightened, knowing that Gong Mufeng must have accidentally exposed his whereabouts.
She suddenly had an idea and deliberately said loudly, "Don't worry, the manufacturing method of this weapon is very complicated. I have to write it slowly. If I write it wrong, it will be useless for you to get it."
She hoped to attract the criminals' attention with her voice and buy time for Gong Mufeng.
Sure enough, the masked man said impatiently: "Write quickly, don't play tricks!"
Then he turned to the gangster who was about to check the situation and said, "Don't worry about the outside, just keep an eye on her!"
Lin Yuexi was secretly delighted and continued to write slowly.
At this time, Gong Yichen suddenly burst into tears, and Gong Yutong also started crying.
Lin Yuexi actually sensed Gong Yichen's thoughts again: Mom, you must give them the drawings, we heard them talking.
They said that if you tell us the blueprints and production methods, they will kill us, my mother and I, so that other countries will never get these weapons again...
Lin Yuexi: Yichen, Yutong, mom won’t really plot against them. Mom has her own ways to protect you.
Yutong: Mom, don’t worry. They don’t dare to do anything to us now. Let’s cry first to confuse them.
Soon after, Gong Yichen and Gong Yutong's cries really got louder and louder. The criminal holding the children panicked. While coaxing the children, he complained, "These two brats are so noisy!"
Lin Yuexi took the opportunity to say, "The child must be hungry or uncomfortable. If you treat them like this, if something happens, you will get nothing!"
The masked man frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Bring the child over to her for her to see. I don't think she can take the child away."
Lin Yuexi was delighted. She had been racking her brains to think of ways to delay time and find an opportunity to rescue the child. This sudden situation might be a turning point.
However, before she had time to think about it, a small thug suddenly ran in and reported, "Boss, it's bad, someone is following us!"
The sound seemed particularly abrupt in the silent and tense atmosphere, as if a thunder had exploded in the house.
When the masked man and the spy from Country N who spoke broken Chinese heard this, they simultaneously cast sharp glances at Lin Yuexi as swiftly as cheetahs, like two cold blades, as if they wanted to see through her.
The masked man's eyes were filled with anger and suspicion, and he said viciously: "You brought people here..." There was a strong threat in his words.
Lin Yuexi thought to herself, "Oh no, Gong Mufeng has found out."
Her heart instantly rose to her throat and an ominous premonition surged into her heart like a tide.
She knew very well that once these criminals confirmed Gong Mufeng's existence, not only would Gong Mufeng be in extreme danger, but the situation of the two babies and herself would become even more precarious.
