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

Chapter 362 A Burlap Sack

Not daring to turn around, she could only glance at him out of the corner of her eye. As the dark trouser leg came into view, Lu Youyou's heart, which had already dropped halfway, sank to the bottom.

These aren't our people!

The bodyguards were all dressed in suits and white shirts, while Secretary Xie and Assistant Wang were both in three-piece suits. Only the group of masked men were wearing dark clothes.

Soon, an unfamiliar face appeared in Lu Youyou's field of vision. The hood was tucked into the pants, and there was a gun sheath at the waist.

Her breath caught in her throat. Lu Youyou was completely unable to describe her current feelings. Her adrenaline surged in an instant, and she even felt a wave of dizziness.

She bit her lower lip tightly, forcing herself to stay awake. She dared not move, not even turn her neck, and dared not stare directly at the person.

Skilled people are usually very perceptive, and they will become alert if they observe for too long. Lu Youyou didn't want to take even the slightest risk.

Let's go, let's go quickly, there's no one here!
Lin Ling, Li Yun, come back quickly! There's a ghost here!
Lu Youyou didn't know how many times she silently prayed, but the person finally left, only to return in less than two minutes.

All the prayers were ineffective this time. I don't know what he discovered, but he kept circling around the tree.

Lu Youyou had never been so nervous before. Perhaps because she was so tense, her brain started to work at high speed.

Her hiding place wasn't particularly well-hidden; the person would definitely spot her if they looked up. If she was exposed before Lin Ling returned...

The more urgent the situation, the more she can unleash her inner power. Lu Youyou doesn't think of herself as some kind of chosen one. At this moment, her biggest reliance is that increasingly useless cheat ability.

Her portable villa now serves almost exclusively as a storage space, and she often forgets about it altogether.

Lu Youyou searched the house for anything useful as quickly as possible. The storage room had all kinds of self-defense medicines, but she couldn't throw them in someone's face from this distance.

The simplest thing to do is to shoot someone with a gun, but she doesn't know how many enemies are around. If the sound of the gunshot attracts the main force, she will have no way to escape.

How to do?
Lu Youyou anxiously tried to think of a solution, while the person was gradually approaching the big tree where she was hiding.

Without time to think, she could only use the sedative in one hand and the electric shock on the keychain in the other, nervously waiting for her chance.

The man seemed to have discovered something, so he tiptoed closer to the tree trunk and looked down to examine the marks on the ground.

Lu Youyou's mind was stretched to its limit.

Oh no, we're about to be discovered! What should we do? Should we strike first?
Before she could think it through, she noticed that the person was about to look up. No, she couldn't wait any longer. If she waited for the other party to realize something was wrong and make the first move, she didn't know if her chances of successfully counterattacking would be even 1%.

Without further hesitation, Lu Youyou aimed at her target and leaped into the air.

If the enemy's face was still covered, the drug certainly wouldn't take effect immediately, but who told him to take off his hood himself?
Even if someone is eight feet tall and muscular, they can't withstand the powerful sleeping potion that Lu Youyou is using. She sprayed it for a full ten seconds, enough to knock down an elephant, let alone a normal human being.

The man only had half a second to be astonished before he lost consciousness.

He had only noticed something unusual about the traces here and wanted to examine them carefully. He never imagined that the target was right above him, let alone that Lu Youyou would come out directly.

Although he immediately turned around and looked up, recognizing the target, the distance was simply too close. Lu Youyou used both spray and electric shock techniques simultaneously, a double attack that even a god couldn't withstand.

He only managed to utter "f*ck," with most of the word stuck in his throat, before collapsing unconscious to the ground.

Lu Youyou, still shaken, collapsed to the side, panting heavily, a fine pain spreading from her ankle throughout her body.

She didn't dare delay for a moment. She found a rope, tied the person up, put them in a sack, and threw them into the villa. She had never put a living creature into her space before, and she didn't care whether it would kill them or not. Nothing was more important than her life.

Lu Youyou took a breath and gritted her teeth to climb the tree again, this time much slower. Her ankle had been injured a second time, and she knew without even looking that it must be swollen like a bun.

The combined mental and physical exhaustion made it difficult for her to even keep her eyelids open. After all, she had been pampered for so many years, and even with exercise, she couldn't withstand such a high intensity.

Time passed by, and the sky gradually darkened. Just when Lu Youyou thought she was going to spend the night in the tree, a series of footsteps approached from afar.

Her legs were numb, but she dared not move. She just clung to the tree branch with all four limbs, as if it were an extension of her.

Soon a familiar face appeared – it was Lin Ling!
She had several scratches on her face and tears in her sleeves, but she still ran ahead of everyone else.

Lu Youyou's tense nerves almost instantly relaxed, and she nearly lost her grip and fell off the tree.

"I'm here……"

When I opened my mouth, I realized that my voice was barely louder than a mosquito's buzz, and my throat felt as dry as if it were being rubbed by two pieces of sandpaper.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the response. Lin Ling quickly stepped forward and asked, "Comrade Lu, are you alright?"

Lu Youyou nodded, not caring whether the people below could see her or not: "Make way, I'm going to throw something down."

Lin Ling was puzzled, but she still took a step back as instructed.

With a muffled thud, a burlap sack fell from the tree, startling those around.

"This is?"

"enemy."

Lu Youyou didn't know how to explain, so she simply didn't. She just assumed that Lu Youyou was exceptionally talented. After all, she was the one who "researched" the new version of military boxing, so it wasn't surprising that she had some martial arts skills.
Soon someone came forward to check, and when they opened the sack, they found a burly man with his eyes closed. They checked his breathing and found that he was still alive, but they didn't know why he was sleeping like a log.

Ignoring all that, Lin Ling looked up at Lu Youyou, who was still high up, and asked, "Comrade Lu, can you come down by yourself?"

Lu Youyou shook her head with a wry smile. She couldn't muster any strength in her left leg, and she had no protective gear. Her hands were also weak and numb, so she probably wouldn't even be able to hold onto the tree trunk if she slid down.

Without saying a word, Lin Ling carried the rope up the tree, "packed" Lu Youyou up, and lowered her down little by little with the rope, where the two people below caught her steadily.

By this point, she was too exhausted to speak, and lay on the narrow stretcher, grateful to have survived the ordeal.

"What about the others? How are they?" Lu Youyou asked in a hoarse voice.

Lin Ling paused for a moment: "Li Yun suffered minor injuries. Assistant Wang has already met with the police, and Secretary Xie is looking for him."

In fact, Li Yun was almost stabbed in the artery during hand-to-hand combat with his opponent. Fortunately, he narrowly avoided it, but he paid the price of breaking his leg.

Fortunately, his life was not in danger. Li Yun had drawn away most of the masked men, which was a great achievement.

"Comrade Lu, the higher-ups have decided to escort you back to Pengcheng immediately."

Lu Youyou nodded. She hadn't seen the equipment that was most needed, but given the magnitude of the incident, safety was still the top priority.
