The military personnel was in an intense battle, while Si Yiyan had already secretly invaded the adjacent room and installed a mini bomb . He was just waiting for the right time to break the wall and rescue Wen Xinya .
The originally seamless plan was ruined by the Wen Family accidentally transferring the money two minutes in advance . Xu Zhenyu’s appearance had foiled the abductors’ plan to use Wen Xinya as a threat .
Si Yiyan pressed his lips together with a menacing expression on his face . While Xu Zhenyu was confronting the abductors, he instructed his men to drill a small hole in the wall .
He peeked through the hole with one eye and caught a glimpse of Wen Xinya, though he could not see her face clearly . He could only see that her clothes were dirty, tattered and torn . However, he felt rather relieved .
Si Yiyan began cooing like a bird .
He then retreated together with his team .
Wen Xinya’s body stiffened and she grew extremely agitated . She had heard it .
To others, it might just be the sound of an ordinary bird cooing in the wild . However, Wen Xinya knew what the sound meant .
On the night after her coming-of-age ceremony, she headed to Lishan Mansion to look for Si Yiyan . Back then, she deliberately hid outside his study and cooed like a bird to attract his attention .
Back then, he even recited a sutra .
Si Yiyan is here!
He is right beside me .
She suddenly felt aggrieved and tears began to well up in her eyes, though she felt extremely touched .
She knew that Si Yiyan would definitely rescue her .
Even if the world gave up on her, he’d definitely come forth to rescue her, dead or alive .
Soon, the ten minutes were up .
The man in gray shot a glance at No . 3 .
No . 3 held Wen Xinya down and exited the room, with the other two following closely behind .
Xu Zhenyu stared at No . 3 who was dragging Wen Xinya out of the room, his big and burly figure shielding her face . He clenched his fists tightly .
No . 3 pushed Wen Xinya forward and pressed the gleaming knife onto her neck . “How did the consideration go?”
Xu Zhenyu stared at Wen Xinya and his pupils constricted . Her eyes were red and swollen, and her hair was extremely unkempt . She looked so frail and weak that it seemed like she was at her very last breath .
These abductors actually subjected Xinya to such abuse!
Anger and agony exploded within him . He clenched his fists tightly in a bid to control himself and stop himself from killing the men in front of him out of recklessness .
Wen Xinya stared at Xu Zhenyu, who appeared stern and austere with his army of uniformed soldiers standing behind him . It was the first time that she ever found him classy .
She smiled and mouthed some words at him .
Xu Zhenyu understood what she meant . He could not help but feel a heartache . At such a tense and critical juncture, she could still joke with him so happily . He mouthed: “Don’t worry, I’ll save you!”
The man in gray did not receive any answer . He then pointed his gun at Wen Xinya and said, “If you turn me down, I’ll kill her immediately . ”
Xu Zhenyu sobered up instantly and said, “We’ve already reconnoitered around the place, there are no areas suitable for helicopters to land . There’s no use even if we give you a helicopter . ”
The man in gray retorted . “That’s none of your business . You just have to fulfill our requests . ”
Xu Zhenyu had no choice but to say, “The helicopter will arrive within twenty minutes . ”
He did not wish to concede to his requests and wanted to stall more time in order to save Wen Xinya . However, his superiors had ordered him to give in to the requests and informed him that the helicopter would be arriving within fifteen minutes .
Although he found it strange, he had no choice but to follow the orders .
The man in gray felt relieved after hearing his words and demanded . “Get your people to move back by fifty meters . ”
Xu Zhenyu frowned and said sternly, “Don’t cross the line . ”
The man then pointed the gun at Wen Xinya’s leg, clearly implying that he would make her a cripple if they were to refuse .
Xu Zhenyu took a step back and ordered . “All of you, move backward by fifty meters . ”
Xu Zhenyu then kept his eyes fixed on Wen Xinya while retreating backward continuously . Every step he took made his heart sink, because… the further he was away from her, the more difficult it would be to save her .
Although the military personnel had already moved backward, the abductors dared not let their guards down at all .
The man in black said, “Boss, I still find it strange that they agreed to our request so readily . We’d better be more careful . ”
No . 3 sneered . “What are you afraid of? As long as we have the hostage, they won’t dare to do anything . ”
The man in black wanted to say something but decided not to . Hence, he looked at the man in gray and asked, “Boss, what do you think?”
The man in gray said calmly, “The person in charge of the rescue operation is Xu Zhenyu . I checked up on him when I was looking into that woman’s background . He’s close friends with her . ”
He had even deliberately observed Xu Zhenyu’s behavior when he first saw Wen Xinya . He could tell that they were indeed on good terms with each other .
The man said, “I’ll go find out more . ”
The man in gray nodded and said, “It’s good to ask and be more careful . After all, a life is at stake . ”
The man in black then took a few steps away and called Xia Ruya to ask about Xu Zhenyu and his relationship with Wen Xinya .
Soon, the man in black walked towards her and said, “No problem, Boss!”
He was surprised to find out that Xu Zhenyu was from a family of soldiers and the Xu Family held a high status in the military . He was also on close terms with Wen Xinya and had a crush on her .
No wonder they agreed to give us a helicopter so soon .
Time continued to pass by and Wen Xinya began wondering where Si Yiyan was . She missed him dearly and wanted to ask him why he took so long to rescue her .
Wen Xinya’s mind was in a state of frenzy and her fever gave her a splitting headache . However, she felt extremely cold and thought that she wouldn’t be able to hang on any longer .
A long while later, Wen Xinya heard the subtle sounds of a propeller .
The helicopter had arrived!
