Volume 2 High School - The Years of White Clothes Chapter 22

  On the eleventh holiday, Ai Zi Qing received a call from Zhou Yuan "Xu Yan Dong was kidnapped this morning when he went out, someone reported to the police, but our people have followed up. What's next?"

  It's finally here, Ai Ziqing's heart tightened. According to memory, in this term's election in Liaoning Province, Xu Yandong not only didn't compete with Governor Zhou Kang but was also kidnapped and killed. After Zhou Kang took office, the central government stated that the nature of this incident was extremely vicious and must be thoroughly investigated. Zhou Kang also expressed extreme indignation and vowed to thoroughly investigate, but in the end, it was still left unsettled and treated as a revenge killing case.

  Ai Zi Qing only felt a little familiar when she first learned that Xu Jian's father was the provincial party secretary, and later thought of this incident, immediately notifying Zhou Yuan to arrange manpower to closely monitor Xu Yan Dong.

  Zhou Yuan didn't understand Ai Zi Qing's intention at first, until today Xu Yan Dong was kidnapped, he suddenly realized that Zi Qing had already anticipated the danger to Xu Yan Dong. He is now more and more admiring Ai Zi Qing's insight!

  "Why should we help Xu Yandong?" Zhou Yuan asked on the way.

  "I have a premonition that he will be very useful. If we save his life, won't he be grateful? We've been expanding too hastily lately, it's time to tie some big shots to our ship." Ai Zi Qing softly explained to Zhou Yuan.

  "Will the person who tied him up take his life? What if it's just intimidation, and by intervening, we'll only end up exposing your identity." Zhou Yuan said worriedly.

  "Agreed!"

  Zhou Yuan was silent. Since Ai Zi Qing said so, Xu Yan Dong would definitely be in danger. They just needed to appear at the right time and rescue Xu Yan Dong from his predicament.

  "When the time comes, we must catch those people, not a single one can escape, leave no survivors. I think this will be useful for Xu Yandong, it's always good to make him owe us a favor. Moreover, these people are likely to be his competitors' pawns. We don't know who they are, but if we can't see clearly in this muddy water, we'll stir it up and find opportunities to benefit from it." Ai Ziqing said thoughtfully.

  Zhou Yuan and others' eyes lit up again, admiring Ai Zi Qing's quick thinking.

  At night, on the winding mountain road, in the desolate mountain area, only the sound of the wind could be heard, and a group of people walked through the tall grass.

  At the end of the line, a man took out a cigarette and was about to light it when he was stopped by someone next to him. "What are you doing? Are you looking for death?"

  "Sixth son, suffering from nicotine addiction is unbearable. Walking for so long and not even allowing a cigarette?" The man was startled and asked in a puzzled low voice.

  "What are you doing lighting a fire at this late hour? Are you waiting to be a target?" Liu Zi said with a frown.

  "Ah! Good grief, look at me, I haven't thought about anything all day!" The man suddenly came to his senses and hastily stuffed the cigarette into his pants pocket.

  This scene was seen by Zhou Yuan on the side, who nodded in approval and asked Liu Zi "What's his name?"

  "Yuan Ge, I'm Wu Liu, everyone calls me Liu Zi." Liu Zi hastily replied with respect.

  "Sixth son, you're clever enough, go and stay by the president's side, be quick-witted." Zhou Yuan pointed to the middle position where Ai Zi Qing was, saying softly.

  "Alright, Brother Yuan, don't worry."

  "Kuai has just sent a message, he and Lu Song have already ambushed ahead, let's hurry up and join them." Zhou Yuan quickly walked to Ai Zi Qing's side and whispered.

  "Alright, let's speed up everyone." Aizi Qing nodded and gave the order.

  Everyone quickened their pace and moved forward, trying to breathe lightly. From a distance, all that could be seen was the grass swaying gently in the evening breeze...

  He and Shi Ke, Lu Song and others gathered together, Zhou Yuan asked "What's the situation?"

  A crowd of people hid in the bushes, facing a dilapidated two-story small building standing alone in the desolate outskirts. A faint yellow light was emanating from inside, and on the second-floor balcony, two tall men stood holding cigarettes, chatting freely.

  "There are eight people in total, all of them carrying equipment. They've been inside for nearly half an hour and there's no unusual movement yet." Shi Ke replied.

  "Eight people dare to arrange a kidnapping of the provincial party committee deputy secretary? They have big guts." Zhou Yuan clicked his tongue.

  "At that time, they also had a group of people ambushing by the roadside, but seeing everything going smoothly, they didn't appear, and then dispersed again. Only these few people brought Xu Yandong here." Shi Lei explained.

  "Don't waste time, let's dive over first," said Ai Zi Qing after calculating the time.

  "Wait until we settle you down before you go." Zhou Yuan said thoughtfully.

  "No, I'll go with you." Zi Qing took the lead, walking forward with a cat-like gait, and the crowd followed.

  Ziying and his group quickly arrived at the front of the building, looked up at the two people chatting happily on the upper floor, quietly stuck to the wall, arranged for Lu Song to lead people to surround the small building, and block the back door. Shi Lei took the lead, quickly solved the man sleeping at the front door, gestured to Ziying, Zhou Yuan, led the Jing She personnel to enter the building quietly.

  "Waaah!"

  "Shut up! Call me again and I'll chop you up! Believe it or not?" A lean man shouted at Xu Yandong, who was gagged, and spat on the ground after finishing speaking.

  "Ugh!" Xu Yandong glared at him, struggling with all his might. He had been bound since afternoon, and his mouth and eyes had been covered the whole way, without even a sip of water, until the blindfold was just torn off.

  A thin man walked up and slapped Xu Yandong in the face, cursing "Fuck your mother's cunt, if you stare again I'll dig out your eyeballs!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked to his companion's side, took out cigarettes and handed one to each of them.

  "Skinny monkey, you dare to hit the provincial party secretary? Haha!" A blond-haired man glanced at Xu Yandong and teased.

  "What the heck is a provincial party secretary? Still, I let my old man beat me up. My whole life has never been so exhilarating! These dog officials!" The thin monkey boasted triumphantly.

  Everyone burst out laughing, while Xu Yandong was both embarrassed and angry, his face flushed bright red. He was the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, who didn't show him respect? When had he ever suffered such humiliation! Thinking about this, his heart suddenly turned cold. This group of people were so brazen, they didn't seem like ordinary kidnappers or terrorists. It seemed that his chances of getting out alive were slim.

  As expected, one of the sturdy men sneered and said "Anyway, he won't live past tonight, I'll just have some fun!" After that, he walked towards Xu Yandong and kicked him in the abdomen. Xu Yandong was in so much pain that his whole body curled up like a shrimp. The man laughed loudly and continued to punch and kick the provincial party committee deputy secretary who was on the ground.

  "Alright, that's enough." A man who couldn't bear it anymore stepped forward and stopped him.

  "What's wrong with Wu Yong?" Ali asked somewhat unhappily.

  "Secretary Xu hasn't done anything wrong either, let him go quickly and be done with it!" Wu Yong furrowed his brow and said in a low voice.

  "Ah...hmm!" The man called A Li was not good at arguing and hesitated, then walked to the side and smoked with his head down.

  The thin monkey sneered and laughed on the side, "Wu Yong, you're really a good man, what do you care about him? It's better to let us brothers have fun, it's also his accumulated virtue."

  Wu Yong glared at Skinny Monkey and said, "This Secretary Xu has never done anything great in his life, but he's also never cheated the common people! Can you guys live with yourselves after treating him like this?"

  "What are you talking about? According to you, we might as well let him go and not wait for Big Brother's call to get rid of him." Ali chimed in from the side.

  At this time, the phone rang, and Skinny Monkey answered it and hung up. He rushed to everyone and said, "It's okay, no need to fight anymore. Big Brother is on the phone." Then he said to Xu Yandong with a smile, "Secretary Xu, your time has come. Do you want to say something?" As he spoke, he walked over and pulled down his gag.

  "What do you want to do? Who sent you?" Xu Yandong realized that death was approaching, and his usual calmness and composure seemed so vulnerable in the face of death.

  "Go ask King Yan about that, and next life be more honest, don't offend those you shouldn't." The thin monkey sneered, pulled out a handgun, and aimed at Xu Yandong's head.

  "...you..." Before Xu Yandong could finish speaking, the thin monkey had already pulled open the safety catch, and he could even hear the 'click' of tension beside his ear.

  Just then, the door was kicked open and before Skinny Monkey could react, his gun was kicked out of his hand and a muzzle was pressed against his head. He was shocked and looked up to see that everyone in the room had been subdued! The newcomer's movements were swift and extraordinary!

  "What are you doing?" Ali was pressed to the ground by Lu Song and growled.

  "Kill you!" Bang! The gun went off and Ali fell silent.

  At this time, Xu Yandong was already frightened by the intense scene, and in a daze, he could see a delicate girl walking up to him and untying his bonds...
