“The children might be in danger. I need to rush to the hospital to save them.”
Qiu Tong explained the situation anxiously. Ye Luan’s expression instantly turned serious and anxious as he said, “I want to go with you.”
It was very likely that Yu Ge and the others had set up an ambush at the hospital. Qiu Tong pretended to be calm and pressed the top of Ye Luan’s head. “No.”
“I can’t be sure how many of them there are. They have Qiu Xingyuan, Qiu Xingqiao and Little Yu.”
“If I bring you to the hospital, I would be too preoccupied to protect you. Just stay at home and wait for news…”
Qiu Tong said in a hoarse voice. Ye Luan retorted seriously, “Their target is you, so they won’t be too guarded against me.”
“Uncle Ke Le and the rest can help you too. We will definitely not be burdens!”
Qiu Tong could see Ye Luan’s stubbornness and persistence. In the end, she compromised and agreed to bring the mercenaries along with her, while Ye Luan had to return home to wait for news.
Ye Luan looked at their departing back profiles. He seemed to have come up with some idea before running off in the other direction.
…
Outside the hospital ward, Qiu Tong saw Yu Ge sitting there with a few burly men. She narrowed her eyes and said, “It’s really you.”
Yu Ge swept his gaze across Ke Le and the rest. Taking advantage of the fact that he had the subordinates of the terrorist organization behind him, he said in a forceful and commanding tone, “If you want to save your children, come in yourself. Don’t let these people come near the ward. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that your children…”
“Will be able to leave in one piece!”
Seeing Yu Ge’s arrogant manner, Ke Le immediately wanted to take out the pistol at his waist, but Qiu Tong quickly stopped him. “Don’t be impulsive.”
Qiu Tong quietly surveyed the surroundings. She could tell that Yu Ge had everything under control. He would not have been able to do all this on his own.
There must be someone backing Yu Ge…
Qiu Tong tried her best to suppress her emotions as she probed, “I’m the one you want to capture. Since I’m here, you can ask for anything. I’ll definitely do it, but you have to guarantee my children’s safety.”
“I’ll go by myself. Let go of the children!”
Ke Le heard Qiu Tong’s compromise and said anxiously, “This won’t do!”
As a mercenary, Ke Le had a keen sense of danger. He could sense that the other party was no pushover and was extremely hostile towards Qiu Tong.
“I have to go in with you…”
Qiu Tong could tell that Ke Le was worried about her. She tried her best to squeeze out a smile and whispered, “When the children come out later, protect them well. Leave the rest to me. Don’t worry, I know my limits!”
Yu Ge’s eyes were filled with arrogance and evil intent. Qiu Tong knew that things would not end well today.
Qiu Tong took the initiative to put down the weapon she was carrying. She raised her hands and slowly approached Yu Ge. “Are you satisfied now?”
Yu Ge shook his head. He pointed at the mercenaries who were still surrounding them warily and said, “Let them leave.”
Qiu Tong turned around and shot Ke Le a meaningful glance but he remained stubbornly in place. Afraid of angering Yu Ge so much that he would hurt the children, Qiu Tong had no choice but to command. “This is an order!”
It seemed like she would have to suffer a little today before she could leave Yu Ge’s hands.
Qiu Tong stared fixedly at Yu Ge, secretly thinking of a way to escape.
