Long Zhen’ao walked up to Scar and stared at him for a long time. After seeing that he did not respond, he turned around and yawned, saying, “It’s boring. Let’s go. I’ll get some sleep.”
“Remember to come and see them tomorrow,” Kutcher reminded him.
“I got it.” Long Zhen’ao had already left, waving his hand casually.
The island in the night was like a sleeping giant turtle. Some figures went through the forest in the moonlight.
“Boss, Long Zhen’ao is here.” Xiao Si pointed to the blue spot on the locator. “He has turned off the monitors on this path.”
Jiang Rui looked around, and said, “Just stay here and wait for my order. I will go with Bear.”
Along the route marked by Long Zhen’ao on the locator, Jiang Rui and Bear successfully found Long’s room.
“Hurry to change your clothes.” Long Zhen’ao threw two black uniforms just like the one he wore. “Scar is in a bad condition, but Zhou Yiyun is fine.”
Jiang Rui and Bear did not further ask him how Scar was. They both knew what they should do now. Soon, they got dressed. Long Zhen’ao opened the door and said, “Come with me.”
Along the way, there were guards every few steps, who nodded slightly at Long Zhen’ao while generally ignored Jiang Rui and Bear following after Long.
“Remember the route. It is the only one way there. Have you figured out how to come out later?” Long Zhen’ao led the way without expression. If it wasn’t for his moving mouth, no one could see that he was speaking.
Similarly, Jiang Rui also lowered his head and whispered, “Soon, Xiao Si will make a noise. We will rush out when the base is in a mess.”
When they arrived at the place where Scar was locked up, the two guards at the door saw Long Zhen’ao and curiously asked him.
“Why Mr. Long is here so late?”
“Oh, I’d like to talk to that woman,” Long Zhen’ao said with an artificial smile.
On hearing that, the guards showed their understanding in their eyes, meaningfully saying, “Wow, then you have to be careful not to kill her. Or we cannot make reasonable explanations to Daddy Kutcher!”
“I know what I can’t do.” Long Zhen’ao opened the door, pausing and saying deliberately, “You two, follow me and help me watch that guy, so that he cannot commit suicide.”
Jiang Rui and Bear hurried to follow in, and the guards obscenely laughed and closed the door.
“Scar!” As soon as the door was closed, Bear rushed to place Scar on the ground first, and poured glucose into his mouth.
Jiang Rui and Long Zhen’ao went inside to take Zhou Yiyun out.
Scar moved and could only slightly open his eyes because of an eye injury.
“You’re here!” He wasn’t surprised at all, and greeted Bear just as he had usually done. On seeing Zhou Yiyun on Jiang Rui’s back, he moved his hand.
Jiang Rui nodded and said, “She’s okay. She pa.s.sed out.”
“Come on, let’s get out of here.” Bear carried Scar on his back and tied them two together with a special belt.
This was specially customized by Jiang Rui. Every soldier on mission must take one with him.
“Even if your comrade is dead, you must carry his body back to his motherland!” This was the first military rule made by Jiang Rui.
Jiang Rui opened the communicator to inform Xiao Si to take actions.
Two minutes later, they heard the noise outside.
“Mr. Long, there are some outsiders on the island…” The guards at the door shouted and opened the door, and then were stunned.
Long Zhen’ao had fired two shots and killed them, before they reacted.
“Go!” He rushed out first.
There was no guard on the road they had gone along when they came. On the half way, a few people suddenly ran towards to them.
“Don’t move! Put them down.” Long, Bear and Jiang Rui fired at them and found a way out.
After taking a step up on the stairs, Long Zhen’ao stopped at the door. “There will be a lot of people outside if we leave from here. Where is Xiao Si?”
The voice of Xiao Si crackled in Jiang Rui’s headset.
“Boss, I saw you. Come straight out, and I’m at the door!”
“Go.” Jiang Rui rushed out first.
At the entrance to the base, two groups of men were firing at each other. When Xiao Si saw Jiang Rui come out, he led several people to cover them.
When they rushed almost to the door, Kutcher’s voice suddenly came.
“Long Zhen’ao, you betrayed me.”
They looked back, seeing Kutcher run over under several bodyguards’ escort. Long Zhen’ao fired the gun without hesitation. “I’m never your man. When you trained me, you should have thought that I will destroy this place one day.”
“Let’s go!” Jiang Rui urged him to leave. They left quickly.
Kutcher’s voice came from a distance. “Go. We can’t let them leave.”
There was also a fight on the wharf. A group of people rushed onto the ship and fought with the people of the Wan family. In the distance, a helicopter was flying over.
“Young Master, they’re coming,” Wan Yi said while killing the last enemy.
Wan Qingsi waved his hand. “Ready to sail.”
When Jiang Rui arrived, the helicopter had lowered the ladder.
“Hurry up!” Wan Qingsi took the lead to climb up the helicopter.
From the distance came the roar of explosion in the base. It was Xiao Si who blew up their a.r.s.enal.
Jiang Rui asked Bear to first climb up the helicopter with Scar on his back, and then left Zhou Yiyun to Long Zhen’ao. During every action, he must wait for the last comrade to appear before leaving.
“Boss!” Xiao Si arrived with a team of people.
Jiang Rui nodded. “Get on the ship. All the bombs on the island are activated.”
Everyone moved quickly. Wan Qingsi saw that Jiang Rui finally jumped on the ship, and then gave a thumbs-up to the helicopter.
The helicopter flew up higher and higher, and the ship was also slowly moving away from the wharf.
“Let’s die together!” Kutcher, who had rushed over, shouted in desperation. Then a black man aimed a rocket at the ship.
On seeing the rocket, Jiang Rui felt that they were in a bad condition at that moment. He shouted out at the helicopter. “Hurry up, go!” At the same time, he immediately jumped off the ship.
When the explosion was approaching, Jiang Rui stunned the black man who shouldered the rocket, and fought with Kutcher’s bodyguards.
“Boss!” Xiao Si opened his eyes widely in desperation when he saw Jiang Rui be surrounded by the fire.
Bear wanted to jump off the helicopter, but was stopped by Wan Qingsi.
“Go!” He gave an order with a pair of red eyes.
The ship and helicopter quickly moved away from the island. In the darkness, the continuous explosions lit up the night and colored the sky red.
After being back to the Wen family’s base, Scar and Zhou Yiyun were immediately taken to the capital. Wan Qingsi reorganized his men and returned to the island.
The explosion was over, leaving the whole island in a mess. Everyone rushed to search for Jiang Rui.
No one was found around the wharf. There was neither Jiang Rui nor Kutcher’s body.
“The bomb is so powerful that it’s impossible for any person’s body to be complete after the explosion.” Wen Yu murmured.
Bear shouted out, “Shut up!”
“Go to search the island inch by inch for him.” Wan Qingsi paused. “I must see him alive, or… His body.”
Chen Chen found that she was sitting on a boat alone, and there was nothing but darkness around it. She floated with the wind in the sea, and then saw Jiang Rui standing on the sea and smiling at her.
“Brother Xiao Rui!” Chen Chen happily reached out her hand. Next second, she heard a loud noise. Jiang Rui turned into a mist of blood; many pieces of his body fell in her boat, and one of his eyes were staring at her.
Chen Chen shivered all over and covered her mouth, uttering a piercing cry.
“No!!!”
“Mom, mom!” Tuan Zi woke her up. “Did you have a nightmare?”
Chen Chen suddenly opened her eyes and saw that she was still in the familiar room, and that Tuan Zi was looking at her with a worried face.
“Tuan Zi… Tuan Zi…” Chen Chen hugged her daughter, and thinking of the scene in her dream, she shivered again.
“It’s okay. It’s okay!” Tuan Zi leaned on her arms. “Do you forget that dreams are contrary to real life?”
Knowing that she must have dreamed about Dad, Tuan Zi whispered, “Maybe Dad will come back after we wake up tomorrow!”
“Yes, you’re right!” Chen Chen nodded casually. “Let’s sleep. Dad will come back tomorrow.”
At dawn, Wan Qingsi was standing on the ruins of the base. The anxiety in his eyes revealed his panic.
If Jiang Rui had an accident, how would he explain to his sister, also to Ah Sha and Xin Qing.
“Young Master…” Wan Yi came over and shook his head.
Not far away, Bear and Xiao Si were still searching for Jiang Rui in the ruins. Wan Qingsi failed to say anything to stop them.
Suddenly Hei Zi, who had been following them, barked.
“Woof woof…” Hei Zi barked at a pillar.
Bear and Xiao Si stumbled there and cried out. “Come on, lift up the pillar!”
Wan Qingsi also rushed to help them. They lifted up the stone pillar and found that there was nothing but the burnt floor below.
“Hei Zi!” Bear shouted.
Hei Zi whimpered while scratching the ground with its forepaws.
Xiao Si knelt down, knocked on the floor, and then raised his head in surprise. “It’s empty!”
“Dig! Dig!”
However, when the shovel cut deep into the ground, there was a sound of metal banging on metal.
Long Zhen’ao frowned and said, “It is a specially built underground secret room. There are a total of three rooms on the island. I don’t remember that any room was built here!”
“Kutcher seems to beware of you all the time.” Wan Qingsi frowned and asked, “How can the other three rooms be opened?”
“Pa.s.sword.” Long Zhen’ao thought for a while, and began to look around. “The pa.s.swords for the base were all set by me. As long as I can find the lock, I can unlock it.”
Finally, they found a broken combination lock on a metal plate three meters away.
“I need a computer.” Long Zhen’ao sat down holding the electronic lock.
Wan Yi ran to the ship immediately, and soon took a computer to him.
Long Zhen’ao started to repair the combination lock. “It is estimated that it will take a long time. You’d better have a rest first. No one knows what is going on below.”
“We’re depending on you.” Xiao Si patted him on the shoulder, and asked others to get on the ship and eat something.
It took Long three hours to finish the repair.
It was not until the afternoon when Long Zhen’ao moved his neck and stood up. For he had not moved for a long time, he stumbled and almost fell.
“How’s it going?” Bear asked nervously.
Long Zhen’ao staggered to the secret room’s door and pressed a row of numbers on the electronic lock.
Click! The sound, just like the notes, made everyone excited. As the metal door slowly opened, a staircase, leading to the underground world, appeared in front of everyone.
“I’ll explore the way together with Bear.” Xiao Si carried his equipment on his back.
Wan Qingsi stopped him. “I will go too.”
“Young Master Wan… You still stay here.” Bear advised. “Our boss will not let you be in danger.”
“I don’t want to make my sister sad, either.” Wan Qingsi finished speaking, and took the lead to go downstairs, followed after by Wan Yi.
