The two of them ran towards the distance like arrows.
Lin Yuexi's heartbeat quickened and her breathing became rapid, but she held Gong Mufeng's hand tightly and walked quickly, not daring to slow down at all.
Several masked men in black were chasing after them like wolves. Their figures appeared and disappeared in the dense woods. Their footsteps were quick and heavy, making a rustling sound as they stepped on the ground covered with fallen leaves.
However, although they were extremely anxious, they did not dare to fire rashly.
Because they knew that once the gunshots were heard, the few soldiers who had been lured away before would definitely turn back when they heard the sound.
By then, the situation will be completely out of control, and the people who are supposed to support them have not arrived yet, which makes them afraid to act and can only worry.
While Lin Yuexi was running desperately, she kept an eye on the pursuers behind her out of the corner of her eye.
After she had put a relatively safe distance between herself and the pursuing men in black, she panted slightly and quickly said to Gong Mufeng, "Mufeng, you see, they went to great lengths to get me, and they will definitely not kill me easily.
Later, you will pretend to abandon me and run away alone. I will secretly leave marks on the route they take me with the flour ash I prepared in advance.
Go back and find someone, follow the marks I left, and then we can work together from inside and outside to wipe out their lair in one fell swoop!"
There was determination in Lin Yuexi's eyes. She knew very well that this was a risky plan, but it was also the best way to get out of the predicament and completely resolve the crisis.
"Yuexi, no, you're still pregnant!" When Gong Mufeng heard this, his eyes widened, his face full of worry and anxiety.
How could he bear to let the pregnant Lin Yuexi take risks? In his heart, the safety of Lin Yuexi and the child was the most important, and everything else could be put aside for the time being.
"Mufeng, have you forgotten my skills and the fact that I have space?" Seeing Gong Mufeng disagree, Lin Yuexi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, these people can't do anything to me.
Furthermore, if we don’t wipe out their lair this time and find out the traitor hiding in the dark, we will never have peace in the future.
For the future of our country, and for our children to have a safe environment to grow up in, we must take a risk! "
Lin Yuexi held Gong Mufeng's hand tightly, her eyes full of earnestness, hoping that he could understand her decision.
Gong Mufeng looked at Lin Yuexi's determined eyes, and felt a conflict within himself.
On the one hand, there was deep concern for the safety of her lover and unborn child; on the other hand, there was the heavy sense of responsibility and unquestionable determination in Lin Yuexi's words.
He clenched his teeth, the muscles on his face twitched slightly due to the confusion, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.
"Yuexi, I..." Gong Mufeng's voice was hoarse, and his throat seemed to be choked by something, so he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.
He understood that everything Lin Yuexi said made sense, but his instinct as a husband and a father-to-be made it difficult for him to agree easily.
At this moment, the sound of approaching footsteps of men in black was heard from behind, "rustling", rapid and chaotic, like the countdown of death.
Time is running out and they can no longer afford to hesitate any longer.
Lin Yuexi looked at Gong Mufeng anxiously, her eyes slightly red, and she almost cried as she said, "Mufeng, there is no time. Believe me, I will be able to protect myself and the child. This is not only for us, but also for the peace of countless people."
Gong Mufeng took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, and nodded heavily: "Okay, Yuexi, you must be careful, I will bring people here as soon as possible. If there is any danger, you hide in the space, don't be stubborn."
The two quickly agreed on the details of the plan, and then Gong Mufeng and Lin Yuexi pretended to quarrel, then pushed Lin Yuexi hard and shouted: "In this case, you can do it on your own!"
Then he turned and ran in the opposite direction.
Several men in black chased after him breathlessly. When they saw Gong Mufeng turn around and flee, their tense faces were stunned for a moment, and then they burst into triumphant laughter as if they had heard a huge joke.
One of the men in black laughed and panted, and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone: "The boss said that Captain Gong loves his wife dearly and that they have a very good relationship. I didn't expect that when the critical moment came, he would abandon his woman and run away alone without even looking back!"
Another man in black said, "Who cares? Fortunately, the boss only told us to take the woman away. Once we take her back, are we afraid that she won't hand over the drawings and weapons?"
The leading black-clad man waved his hand impatiently and shouted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense and take him away!"
As soon as the voice fell, a man in black stepped forward quickly, took out a dirty black cloth from his pocket, and roughly covered Lin Yuexi's eyes, saying hypocritically: "Ma'am, I'm sorry..."
Lin Yuexi only felt that everything in front of her eyes went dark in an instant, and her body was roughly grabbed by the arms and dragged forward.
But she was very calm and did not resist at all. She pretended to be trembling with fear while silently and carefully taking note of the details of the surrounding environment in her mind.
Along the way, Lin Yuexi remained silent on the surface and let them do whatever they wanted, but in fact, she was quietly observing the group of men in black with her keen perception, and then used her mind to take out some face ash from the space and scattered it, leaving a mark so that Gong Mufeng and the soldiers could track them.
She noticed that although these men in black looked extremely fierce and aggressive on the surface, their actions were full of flaws.
As they marched, their coordination with each other was disorganized and they almost collided several times.
For example, when crossing a narrow intersection, two men in black tried to squeeze through at the same time, but they refused to give way to each other and even cursed under their breath.
It is obvious that they are not well-trained and well-coordinated professional agents, but more like a mob temporarily assembled for this mission.
After stumbling along a winding path, Lin Yuexi vaguely felt that she had walked onto the highway by relying on the touch of the road and the changes in the sound of the wind.
Then, she was pushed by the group of people into a slightly shaking car.
As soon as she got in the car, a pungent smell of gasoline and sweat hit her in the face, making her almost cough.
She silently estimated the time and distance in her mind, trying to determine her location and prepare for the next move.
The car started and sped along the road. Lin Yuexi sat in the car with her hands tightly tied with rough ropes. Her heartbeat gradually stabilized, but her brain was working rapidly.
Although her eyes were blindfolded, she used her keen hearing to try to capture all the information around her.
