1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 360 Deep in the Mountains
Song Peiqing's voice rose eight octaves, his rich imagination instantly concocting an outrageous drama.

"Could someone really believe that my cousin's wife is my fiancée and then kidnap her to blackmail me?!"

Even though Song Jingting was on edge, he was so angry at Song Peiqing’s shameless idea that he almost had a heart attack and slapped him on the head.

"Who do you think you are? Trying to extort money from you? Your life isn't worth as much as theirs!"

Putting aside their net worth, if we only consider the individuals themselves, ten Song Peiqings combined wouldn't be as important as Lu Youyou.

Ignoring the pain, Song Peiqing covered her head and asked, "Where are the bodyguards? They couldn't stop them? What do we do now? Should we notify my cousin?"

Thinking of Gu Qingye's sharp, sword-like eyes, Song Peiqing couldn't help but shudder. Oh no, her cousin was definitely going to go crazy!
Song Jingting was also anxious. The phone call was cut off, and he couldn't get through when he tried to call back. There was nothing he could do before the police arrived.

"Don't panic, wait for our instructions. The two people Youyou brought are skilled; they might not be in trouble. Don't worry, don't worry..."

Song Jingting repeated it several times, as if he were comforting himself.

The dock was his own territory, and he had increased the number of people protecting it, but he never expected that even that wouldn't be enough to stop it.

"By the way, you should call your brother right away and tell them to be careful. Also, bring the two kids over as soon as possible. They shouldn't go to school for a while, and they should stay home as much as possible."

"Okay, I'll call right now."

Song Jingting sat on the sofa, pondering what other forces he could mobilize. The dockworkers could help, and he could also put pressure on the governor. If it was about money, he was willing to give it, but he was afraid that the other party didn't want money.

He dialed the number again, but still couldn't get through. His secretary's mobile phone was also busy, meaning he had no information whatsoever.

On the other side, Lu Youyou's car was still forced to stop by the other party using any means necessary. Masked men filed out of the van, and Lin Ling noticed with her sharp eyes that they were carrying weapons.

"No, we can't leave it in the car."

Lin Ling acted decisively. While Li Yun and the others were entangled in the fight, she opened the car door, grabbed Lu Youyou, and ran up the mountain. The vast forest would at least buy them some time to wait for rescue.

The kidnappers had clearly noticed the commotion; someone was shouting loudly, and surprisingly, they were speaking in English.

Lu Youyou almost instantly ruled out the possibility of extortion and didn't dare to delay for a moment, so she followed Lin Ling and ran as fast as she could.

At that moment, she was extremely grateful that she had persisted in exercising to repair postpartum damage; otherwise, she would have collapsed from exhaustion after running only a few steps.

Secretary Xie gritted his teeth and said, "I'll separate from you to distract them as much as possible."

He can't use a gun, his combat skills are practically zero, and the kidnappers' target is unlikely to be him, so he might as well go all out and maybe he can at least be of some use.

Take this gamble today, and your future may be bright.

Lin Ling nodded immediately. Her mission was to protect Lu Youyou's safety, and the fewer burdens she had, the better.

Secretary Xie ran off in the other direction without looking back, while the driver stayed behind to cover their retreat. Lin Ling pulled Lu Youyou along as they continued running deeper into the mountains.

She knew the terrain of Hong Kong City by heart. This mountain range stretched almost the entire Kowloon Peninsula from west to east. As long as they weren't caught, she was confident she could help Lu Youyou escape.

Before leaving, Secretary Xie left her the mobile phone, but it had no signal for the time being.

The sudden gunshot made Lu Youyou stumble, and Lin Ling quickly steadied her, asking, "Can you still hold on?"

Lu Youyou nodded, her throat already burning, but people always unleash tremendous potential in life-or-death situations.

She kept hypnotizing herself, telling herself that her legs weren't weak or sore, and that she could still persevere. After silently repeating this for a while, the feeling of her legs being like lead actually lessened.

Lu Youyou didn't know where she was now. At first, she could still see the pedestrian walkway, but now all she could see were wildly growing branches, and she couldn't hear any other sounds except for the occasional bird call.

She dared not think about what was happening to Li Yun and the others, whether they were alive or dead. Right now, only one word was mechanically repeating in her mind.

Run, keep running until you're exhausted. But she couldn't outrun Lin Ling. Maybe it was twenty minutes, maybe half an hour later, her steps grew heavier and heavier. When she stumbled again, Lin Ling couldn't catch her, and she fell to the ground.

"Did you sprain your ankle?" Lin Ling's breathing was only slightly rapid, much more steady than Lu Youyou's bellows-like panting.

Lu Youyou couldn't speak at all; even shaking her head felt like her brain was about to explode.

Lin Ling had already squatted down to check, and seeing that her ankle was moving normally, she breathed a sigh of relief.

If she gets injured at this point, her only option will be to fight to the death. She's not afraid of dying, but if she dies, Lu Youyou's chances of escaping will only decrease.

She took out a bottle of mineral water from her backpack and fed it to Lu Youyou's mouth: "Drink in small sips, stop after three sips."

Lu Youyou did as instructed. Three sips of water couldn't quench her thirst, but at least her burning throat could finally speak.

"I...I...can still...hold on..."

Lin Ling's straight lips curved upwards slightly: "Okay, let's rest for a minute and then set off."

In just half an hour, she was able to look at Lu Youyou in a completely new light.

Although he lacked stamina, his running posture and breathing method were the most energy-efficient, without any unnecessary movements, and he didn't need her reminders or leave any unnecessary traces.

As expected of the wife of a legendary soldier!

Lin Ling kept checking her watch and listening intently to the sounds behind her. Lu Youyou knew this was no place to linger, so she gritted her teeth and got up no matter how tired she was.

"Let's go, I'm ready." Lu Youyou propped herself up on her knees.

The words Gu Qingye had said while exercising with her kept replaying in her mind—steady small steps, abdominal breathing, using your thighs to push uphill, and landing on your entire foot when going downhill…

Capital
Gu Bohuai received a confidential phone call, and his previously calm expression instantly changed.

"What? Are you sure?"

"What's going on now?"

"I will report this immediately. Please keep a close eye on the situation and stay in touch."

Lu Youyou is in trouble!

Gu Bohuai knew how many security personnel were arranged for Lu Youyou to go to Hong Kong. There were two people on the surface, no less than ten people in secret, and there were also people stationed in the alley to provide support at any time, yet problems still arose.

Lin Ling and Li Yun are the best of the best, and he has absolute faith in their abilities. He is only afraid that two fists may not be able to fight against four hands.

Hong Kong is not like the mainland; they have limited manpower and can only mobilize all their resources immediately, hoping it will be in time.

Gu Qingye was writing a report in his office when his eyelids suddenly twitched.

He was a staunch atheist, but for a moment his heart skipped a beat.

dong dong——

"Enter."

As Gu Qingye looked at the newcomer, his unease grew.

"Comrade Lu Youyou is in danger in the port city. We are now arranging for you to go and meet her." Gu Bohuai came over personally to tell him the organization's decision.

Gu Qingye's breath caught in his throat, his eyes fixed on Gu Bohuai, the pen in his hand almost bent under his grip.
