Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was 4 AM sharp! The darkness before dawn was gradually consumed by the light of day.
Xu Zhenyu then instructed the armored soldiers to tug at the helicopter. He would not allow Wen Xinya to be taken away. Otherwise, death would be the only thing that awaited her.
He could not let Wen Xinya die.
He must save her!
It was the only thing that kept him going. It was as if all of his energy had been depleted.
He felt his s.h.i.+rt being drenched in sweat and sticking against his back. He could not tell if this was reality or just a dream.
However, the emptiness in his heart seemed to be swallowing him whole and penetrating his blood vessels.
He could not breathe at all because of the unbearable pain!
Regardless of whether it was a dream or not, it was a matter of fact that Wen Xinya had been in immense pain which never once subsided.
“Major! Hurry and take a look!”
Upon hearing the sudden yelling, Xu Zhenyu snapped back to reality and hurriedly looked at the helicopter, to see that a blade that darted out of nowhere, instantly cutting the rope attached to it.
Due to the sudden impact of the release of tension in the rope, Xu Zhenyu and the rest of his crew instantly lost their balance and fell onto the ground.
Xu Zhenyu was in excruciating pain. However, he could no longer be bothered and instead crawled up from the ground and sprinted towards the helicopter. Even the major turbulence could not stop him in his tracks.
Xu Zhenyu sprinted while yelling, “Release the hostage!”
Xu Zhenyu stared at the helicopter which was soaring high above them. He whipped out a rope and immediately tied a knot before casting it onto the stairs of the helicopter.
The rope was latched onto it!
Overwhelmed with joy, Xu Zhenyu instantly tugged on the rope and climbed upwards.
However, before he could even rejoice, he was. .h.i.t on the face by an item that was thrown out of the helicopter.
Xu Zhenyu fell onto the ground once again, after which the ash and dust in his mouth choked him. He finally realized that it was the abductor’s body that had hit him. He grimaced in pain and felt as if his bones were about to come loose.
Dumbfounded, he wondered, What’s going on?
Could there be something else in the helicopter?
Filled with questions, he got up on his feet, only to be hit by another thing which made him fall onto the ground again.
As soon as Xu Zhenyu pushed the man away from him, he was again pinned onto the ground, choking and coughing violently.
Cough!
Upon sight of how disheveled he was, everyone quickly looked away.
Xu Zhenyu finally crawled out of the pile of bodies and hollered at the helicopter. “What the heck? Which idiot has decided to throw these bodies at me!?!”
By the time Xu Zhenyu recovered from the shock, he realized that he had yet to rescue Wen Xinya. He suddenly fell onto the ground, completely dejected.
One of the armored soldiers then walked towards him and said, “Major! The headquarters informed us just now that the hostage is safe. Our mission is completed. Didn’t you hear the message?”
Xu Zhenyu’s eyes widened in shock and asked, “What? The mission has been completed? Where’s the hostage? Where are the abductors?”
The soldier pointed at the ground.
Xu Zhenyu finally realized that the three bodies belonged to the abductors. At this moment, the abductors were already unconscious. “Where’s Wen Xinya?”
He could not recover from the shock.
The armed soldier answered, “She’s been rescued!”
In a daze, Xu Zhenyu repeated. “She’s been rescued? By who? Is there another rescue team sent by the headquarters? Why don’t we know about it?”
The armed soldier looked at him pitifully and asked, “Boss, didn’t you notice that the helicopter wasn’t sent by the military?”
How pitiful. Boss was knocked silly by the bodies.
Xu Zhenyu finally realized what was going on. He grabbed the soldier’s collar and asked, “What do you mean? Do you mean that someone else outside of the military has saved Miss Wen?”
He was filled with a sudden, ominous feeling.
The soldier nodded.
Xu Zhenyu finally realized something. He dashed towards the helicopter and yelled, “Hey you, come back. Give Wen Xinya back to me. Heck… I’ve worked hard the entire day, only to let you have the credit. I was clearly the one who saved Wen Xinya…”
Someone actually stole his credit.
Xu Zhenyu felt extremely revolted.
Back when Wen Xinya was abducted by Fu Tianyang, he was also the one who had first found the location that Wen Xinya was in. However, he was late again.
Yet, the same thing happened again today. After all the painstaking efforts that he had put in to rescue Wen Xinya, someone else stole his credit. He could not tolerate this feeling at all.
Xu Zhenyu barked. “Wen Xinya, come back here. Did you hear me? You heartless rascal. I went through such arduous means to save you and yet, you left with a random man. You’re going to let me down. Watch how I’ll deal with you.”
Everyone was flabbergasted by his maniacal actions!
His subordinate thought to himself, Major Xu must have been knocked silly by the human bodies. We may have put in lots of effort, but we really didn’t save her. They sent their helicopter and put in lots of effort and manpower to get rid of the abductors. We still have to thank them for the help. We can’t be ingrates!
“Come back!” Xu Zhenyu hollered at the top of his lungs while watching the helicopter gradually vanish. He suddenly squatted on the ground and wondered, Who is the person who rescued Wen Xinya? Is he the person whom I saw previously? Is he the same man who saved Wen Xinya two years ago?
It turns out I have become inferior without even realizing it. This man is really something. He actually reached a consensus with the headquarters and colluded with them.
“Boss, let’s go back! They’ve already rescued the hostage…”
Xu Zhenyu slapped the soldier on his head and said, “What the heck? Could you have more brains? We went through such painstaking means to rescue her and yet, someone else beat us to it and got all the credit. We’ve worked for nothing…”
The soldier said, “Our efforts are not wasted. The higher-ups told us that we completed the mission well and that we’ll be rewarded.”
Xu Zhenyu’s face grew sullen and he raised his middle finger in the air. He tried to suppress his anger to curse at Si Yiyan and call him a backstabber.
Xu Zhenyu was fuming with anger. Heck… he backstabbed me again.
How vicious and cunning…
