Chapter 687: 687
It was 2:57 AM! The darkness before dawn had finally arrived . Nothing could be seen in the pitch darkness .
At this moment, Si Yiyan and the rest had already rushed to the village and carried out the ambush . The crew had also begun screening the villagers discreetly .
Si Yiyan sprawled on the ground and waited patiently for the results .
The reconnoitering proceeded .
At this moment, Si Yiyan heard a sound in the communication device in his ear . “Ninth Young Master, the abductors have given their last warning before they kill the hostage . We’ve already verified that Miss Wen is safe now, and we’ve also obtained their reception . The abductors are in the village . ”
In the darkness, Si Yiyan’s eyes were as black as ink . With glistening eyes, he said, “Play the recording . ”
He wanted to find out Wen Xinya’s current situation .
The voice hesitated for a moment .
However, the brief moment was enough to make Si Yiyan’s heart burn . Needless to say, Wen Xinya was definitely being physically abused .
Soon, the recording was played .
Her faint wailing reminded him that she was in a terrible situation and the abductors were just keeping her alive to get the ransom .
Si Yiyan suddenly thought about the time when he helmed Xiasi Group and headed to Russia . During then, Lucifer was facing an internal crisis .
There was a power struggle in Lucifer .
Back then, he was just a leader in name who was looked down upon by everyone else .
He was arrested and forced to speak when they placed a straw in his throat and transfused poison to him, causing him to be tormented . He still remembered the pain he felt when the liquid flowed down his throat and into his chest and lungs .
However, he still escaped in the end .
Back then, he clutched his Adam’s apple and tried to stop the blood from flowing out . At last, he endured it and waited until his father’s loyal subordinate saved him .
He then underwent a major reconstruction surgery which gave him a traumatic experience . He could not eat spiky foods . Otherwise, he would begin suffocating and suffer hemorrhages in his throat and chest, thus leading to death . He had undergone a total of three surgeries in the past few years .
At this moment, he felt a sudden metallic taste in his throat . He continuously tried to swallow it but ended up throwing up in the end .
Gu Yuehan panicked as the smell of blood wafted up to his nose . “Ninth Young Master, what’s wrong with you?”
Even though he had impeccable night vision, he could barely see anything in the dark . However, he guessed that Si Yiyan had vomited blood!
Si Yiyan said softly, “I’m alright . ”
After vomiting the blood, he felt a huge relief . Rubbing his aching head, he felt like his condition might impair his judgment .
Si Yiyan asked, “How long more will Xu Zhenyu’s men get here?”
Now that they were at a critical juncture, though he was still uncertain, he had faith that Xu Zhenyu would make it in time .
Gu Yuehan answered softly, “He’ll arrive within two minutes . ”
Si Yiyan nodded .

At this moment, the screening crew walked towards them silently . “Ninth Young Master, we found a car in the village . According to the indents on the ground, the abductors are definitely in that house . We didn’t go in because we didn’t want to alarm them . ”
Si Yiyan remarked, “Well done . ”
Gu Yuehan hurriedly grabbed the 3D satellite simulation sketch and handed it to Si Yiyan .
Si Yiyan said, “Find out the accurate location of the abductors . ”
The screening crew grabbed the map and made some annotations .
Si Yiyan held the map in his hand and begun thinking about the best spot for an ambush .
At this moment, Xu Zhenyu had already received the news from the rescue team in the Wen Family home . It’s verified that the abductors are in the village!
Xu Zhenyu was in a race against time . They were heading there on foot .
“Major, we’ve already arrived in the vicinity of the village . ”
Xu Zhenyu questioned, “What time is it now? How long more do we have before the handover of the ransom?”
“It’s 2:59 AM now . There are only six minutes left!”
They had ample time now that the abductors had given them an additional five minutes .

Xu Zhenyu heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Everyone, stop in your tracks for a minute . ”
Fortunately, they managed to make it in time!
Xu Zhenyu’s throat was dry and parched to the extent that it was painful . Sweat droplets trickled down from his forehead and into his eyes, causing there to be a stinging pain .
He raised his head and gulped some water down, feeling a huge, soothing relief that was unfortunately short-lived . He began choking on the water .
However, he dared not make a single sound .
He could only lie on the ground and cover his mouth while the pain debilitated .
He began tearing up .
It was a high-difficulty operation that had to be carried out smoothly . Hence, no one dared to complain because they were racing against time and a life was at stake .
“Major, are you alright!?!” his comrade asked, noticing how much pain he was in .
Xu Zhenyu answered softly in a hoarse voice, “I’m alright! Don’t worry!”
His voice was raspy and did not sound like himself at all .
A minute later, Xu Zhenyu received the location details from the headquarters . He then took out the simulation sketch and said, “Snipers, get into position . ”
The snipers immediately checked their weapons and exclaimed, “Roger!”

Xu Zhenyu sent out a string of orders . “Search for a suitable spot to take cover and act immediately . Remember, put the hostage’s life first . ”
The snipers delved into the darkness quietly . It had been less than ten seconds since they received the orders .
“Armed members, get ready . ”
“Roger!”
“Immediately enter the village and find a suitable spot . Don’t act on your own . Make the hostage’s safety your priority . ”
Xu Zhenyu then gave out more orders . There were still four minutes left .
Xu Zhenyu said, “Contact the Wen Family immediately and arrange for them to hand the ransom over . ”
“Understood!”
Xu Zhenyu said, “The rest of you, follow me . ”
Wen Xinya, I’ve finally made it . Don’t worry… I’ll definitely save you!
