"Who are you?"
Zhang Shanni was soothing the fetus in her womb when she suddenly felt something was amiss. The military car was driving slowly, but after more than twenty minutes, it surely should have reached the county town by now.
However, in reality, when Zhang Shanni opened her eyes to take a look, the car was still traveling on the highway, but it wasn’t approaching the city; on the contrary, it was getting closer to the desolate mountains and wild ridges!
Zhang Shanni suppressed her shock, calmly asking with a composed face.
"Hehe, Madam Xie need not worry. I’m simply a stand-in driver, we will arrive soon, and you will definitely meet the mastermind behind this."
Zhang Shanni looked at the car speeding along and then compared it to the steep and bumpy road, only to cast a silent side glance at the other person,
"Heh, you’ve worked hard for such an elaborate drama. Surely you didn’t just want to meet with me for a simple reason, right? Oh, right, Qi Chunlan must have been lured by you as well..."
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a coincidence.
Thinking of Qi Chunlan’s emotionally uncontrollable yelling and screaming, Yan Jinsi must definitely have fallen ill, and might also be the work of these people! This series of interlinked traps targeted at her—
Zhang Shanni did not feel she was important enough to warrant such attention... It couldn’t possibly be for her! Only Qi Chunlan would be foolish enough to believe that these desperados would really honor any agreement to send her back to save Yan Jinsi?
It seems that Yan Jinsi’s health condition is very grim, and hence, Qi Chunlan really wants her dead!
Another point, Zhang Shanni didn’t need to think deeply to know that this was a "lure the tiger away from the mountain" tactic.
By abducting her, her husband would surely be lured out by them.
So the speculations she and her man made last night, eight or nine out of ten, were correct.
"Madam Xie, there is no need to probe me anymore; in fact, I’m just a runner and know nothing." Little Rong said helplessly.
Because he had not yet been exposed to the people on Rong Fang’s side, so he was assigned the task of this ’baiting the snake out of its hole.’
But at the same time, it also meant that his military career had come to an end.
What a pity.
"Where are you taking me?" Zhang Shanni, seeing the increasingly remote mountain road, furrowed her brows.
"Madam Xie, for this operation, our organization dispatched four military cars to delay the time. This time, quite a few covert operatives have been exposed." Little Rong chuckled lightly as he responded:
"As to how long it will take Rongwei Chief to find you, that is not something we can decide."
"So, this whole mastermind wanting to see me was just to fool me?"
"Uh... Worthy of being Vice Rongwei Commander Xie’s wife, you immediately figured out our intentions."
"..." Zhang Shanni rolled her eyes.
Little Rong was countered by Zhang Shanni’s retort and dared not speak carelessly anymore, instead focusing on driving seriously.
Zhang Shanni, under the guise of yawning, fed herself several drops of Spirit Core Water. Along the way, to leave tracking marks for her husband, her spiritual power was being consumed too quickly.
On the other side, Little Rong, who had been waiting a long time for the boss’s sister-in-law to return and had not seen a sign of her half an hour later as planned, immediately felt something was off. Turning around, he made a phone call back to the base to confirm.
After finding out that the boss’s sister-in-law had left an hour ago, he was shocked and without any hesitation, hung up the phone and called Tanning Temple.
At this moment, Xie Jingchen was standing high up, looking far into the distance at the ’Holy Peach Tree,’ his heart slowly processing the words spoken by his little wife last night.
