"Just the four of us?"
Hu Fei waved his hand and said, "Don’t count me in. I can only provide computer assistance. Killing and rescuing people is something you need to handle."
Kaelina frowned slightly and said, "How can just a few of us fight against the people from the God Organization? By the time we supposedly rescue someone, we might be dead without even seeing them."
"Don’t worry, I have already made arrangements. We’re running out of time, let’s discuss it on the way."
Leaving the Old City area, Hu Fei led everyone into a car and drove straight to the airport.
By the time the group arrived, a private plane was already prepared at the airport. It was provided by Hongyu Group. After a phone call with Nanrong Hao, everything was arranged immediately.
As the plane ascended into the sky, Hu Fei opened his laptop carried with him and projected the screen onto the plane’s large built-in display.
"Everyone here is a friend of Ling Chen. Currently, since Ling Chen is missing, rescuing Miss Nanrong relies solely on all of you. Let me first explain the situation to everyone."
As he spoke, Hu Fei tapped on his keyboard, and immediately, an image appeared on the large screen.
Looking at the image, everyone in the room exchanged puzzled glances.
"Hu Fei, what’s the situation with this village?" Kaelina asked.
"I’ve done some investigation; this village is called Yinan Village, a southern village with over a hundred years of history. According to my intelligence, after Wu Jun took Miss Nanrong, they arrived at Yinan Village by car. Wu Jun is a traitor of the Ghost Organization and now works for the God Organization. Wu Jun’s presence in Yinan Village suggests there’s a big issue there. That’s all I know for now; any other information will be provided once we arrive there."
An hour later, Hu Fei led everyone out of the airport and by car to a town near Yinan Village.
Before the trip, Hu Fei had already booked a hotel. Although the hotels in the small town were simple, everyone was not picky.
Upon entering the hotel, Hu Fei went directly to Room 109 and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man appeared in front of everyone.
Entering the room, Hu Fei put down his luggage, sat down on the sofa, and introduced the middle-aged man, "Let me introduce everyone, this is Bai Huanjun, a friend of Ling Chen, specifically responsible for covertly protecting Miss Nanrong. We were able to find Yinan Village thanks to his help."
After he finished, Hu Fei changed the topic and asked, "How’s the situation in Yinan Village, can you tell us?"
"I’m not very clear about the situation inside the village. I tried to investigate, but I found that the surroundings are heavily guarded with many concealed sentries making it impossible to approach undetected. Also, I’m most worried about the villagers of Yinan Village. Before you arrived, I took a closer look, and although those villagers seem like ordinary people, the way they walk and their stature doesn’t seem normal, leading me to suspect those villagers are disguised members of the God Organization."
Hu Fei asked, "How many villagers does Yinan Village have? Have you counted?"
"I’m not sure of the exact count, but definitely not less than a hundred people. Including the surrounding sentries, there could be around two hundred."
As he spoke, Bai Huanjun spread a map on the table and continued, "The geographical location of Yinan Village is very advantageous, situated by mountains and water, and there is a large bamboo forest nearby. This environment can hide a lot of things."
Kaelina glanced at the map and asked, "Have you checked that bamboo forest?"
"No, the bamboo forest is installed with many motion-sensing devices. Any disturbance is immediately detected. I didn’t dare to enter. But the stringent defense there indicates that there’s something significant hidden within."
Jiang Yunkai frowned and said, "If that’s the case, it’s not just about rescuing Miss Nanrong; even getting in is a problem."
"No, there are ways," Liu Dongsheng, who had been silent up until now, spoke up.
Seeing him speak, everyone eagerly asked, "What do you suggest?"
Liu Dongsheng pointed at the map and said, "He just mentioned that Yinan Village is by the mountains. Since it’s by the mountains, we can approach from the other side of the mountain and directly infiltrate Yinan Village from the mountaintop."
Bai Huanjun speak in a grave tone, "That mountain peak is a hundred meters tall, steep, and completely bare all around providing no cover at all, making it easy for the enemy to spot us."
"That’s not a problem," Liu Dongsheng confidently smiled and said, "Leave it to me. However, I need to go there first before we act."
"No problem," Hu Fei nodded and said, "It’s already nighttime, a perfect opportunity. Let Bai Huanjun accompany you there. Since the enemy is numerous and powerful, direct confrontation is out of the question. First, we need to locate where Miss Nanrong is being held, then we can plan the rescue."
Under the pure moonlight, Yinan Village was silent, all the houses darkened, unable to see any light, only the occasional bark of a dog could be heard.
"Miss Nanrong, I advise you to cooperate with us and tell us the information Mr. Yun left you. This way, you can avoid a lot of pain."
In a brightly lit room, Wu Jun paced back and forth in front of Nanrong Wanqing with his hands behind his back.
On the side, Nanrong Wanqing lay on a bed, her hands and feet bound with belts, rendering her unable to move. Multiple thin wires connected her head to various devices.
Hearing Wu Jun’s question, Nanrong Wanqing, looking pale, said, "I don’t know any information. Killing me would be futile. Yes, I know Mr. Yun, but I’ve only met him once or twice, we’re not close. Do you think he would share critical information with a stranger?"
"Stranger?" Wu Jun laughed and looked at Nanrong Wanqing, "Miss Nanrong, are you really unaware or just pretending in front of me? Don’t tell me you don’t know Mr. Yun’s real identity."
Nanrong Wanqing tried to defend herself, "I only know he is called Mr. Yun, I know nothing else, you must have mistaken."
Wu Jun shook his head and replied, "Don’t worry, there’s no mistake," he paused, continuing, "Since you claim not to know Mr. Yun’s identity, let me tell you then. ’Mr. Yun’ is just his pseudonym, his real name is Nanrong Yuan. Does that name sound familiar to you?"
At this realization, Nanrong Wanqing looked dazedly at Wu Jun, her mind blank. This news was a bolt from the blue for her, making it hard to accept.
All these years, she had been searching tirelessly for her father’s whereabouts. But, what she didn’t expect was that she had already met her father before.
Why did he lie to me?
