The old man squatted in the cement ditch.

He pressed one hand against the very small communication device on his ear, and the other hand was tightly wrapped around Li Menghan's shoulder.

He quickly spoke a few words into the communication device.

After he finished speaking, he looked up and glanced at the surroundings of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

All those black pickup trucks on the highway have now been driven away.

But Lao Yi knew that it was still very unsafe for the three of them to stay outside at this time.

If the other side sends reinforcements, it will be extremely dangerous.

The old man spoke a few more words into the communication device.

Then he looked at Li Menghan and said in a very calm tone:

"Young Master, the three of you stay here and don't move. Reinforcements will be here soon."

The words had barely been spoken for less than ten seconds.

A bright blue light suddenly appeared in the air above the open space next to the ditch.

The blue light unfolded very quickly, transforming into a circular light screen.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of people walked out of the blue light screen in neat rows.

They were all dressed in black combat uniforms and carrying various weapons.

Everyone's face was expressionless, and their eyes were extremely cold.

There were fifty people in total.

They are all cyborgs.

As soon as they came out, they immediately dispersed and took their positions.

Twenty people formed a perimeter cordon, with their guns pointed to the west and all eight directions.

The other thirty people surrounded Li Menghan, Li Mengli, and Zhao Jiajia tightly in the middle.

Li Mengli squatted in the ditch, her body trembling.

Zhao Jiajia was also frightened and turned pale, gripping Mengli's arm tightly with both hands.

When the two women saw the men in black who had suddenly appeared, they were still afraid, but they felt a little more at ease.

Because they knew that these were all people working for their father.

With them around, at least nothing else will happen.

……

America.

Long Island Estate.

It was already late at night in America.

The manor was very quiet.

Ruoran and her brother-in-law's family were all asleep upstairs.

Li Ze sat alone on the sofa in the living room on the first floor.

He was holding the string of beads in his hand, his eyes closed, deep in thought.

Just then, his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

Li Ze took out his phone and saw that it was Lao Yi calling.

He immediately pressed the answer button.

"Boss, something's happened."

The old man's voice came through the phone, sounding very urgent.

Then, Lao Yi quickly recounted to Li Ze everything that had happened on the highway in the suburbs of Beijing.

Pickup truck ambush.

Huo Qian and Fan Xi were taken away.

After hearing this, Li Ze suddenly exerted force with his right hand.

The string of beads he had been playing with for many years was snapped in two by him.

The beads rolled onto the floor one by one, making a very crisp sound.

Li Ze sat on the sofa, his eyes becoming extremely cold.

His chest heaved violently a few times.

He didn't yell or smash anything.

However, the knuckles of the hand holding the phone had all turned white from the force he was exerting.

About three seconds passed.

Li Ze spoke up.

His voice was very low, but every word was spoken very, very clearly.

"Oldest one."

"exist."

"Bai Qianyue, that woman, has completely gone mad."

Li Ze took a deep breath, then issued the order word by word:

"First, the safety of Meng Han, Meng Li, and Zhao Jiajia must be ensured without any mishap."

"Secondly, Huo Qian and Fan Xi must be saved. Not a single hair can be lost."

"third--"

Li Ze paused for a moment.

Then he said something that made even the old man pause for a moment.

"Capture Bai Qianyue alive."

"Don't kill her."

"Bring her to America. Bring her before me."

"I want to interrogate her myself."

The first man was silent for a second on the other end of the phone.

Then he answered very simply with two words:

"clear."

The phone hangs up.

Li Ze placed his phone on the table next to him.

He looked down at the beads scattered on the floor.

He bent down and picked them up one by one.

He held the beads in his palm without saying a word.

He just sat there quietly.

Outside the manor, the moonlight shone on the lawn and the sea, creating a beautiful scene.

But there was no light in Li Ze's eyes.

……

at the same time.

Dragon Kingdom.

On the outskirts of Beijing.

On a very remote road.

Several black pickup trucks were speeding away from downtown Beijing.

In one of the pickup trucks, Huo Qian and Fan Xi were squeezed into the middle of the back seat.

Their hands were tied behind their backs with rough ropes.

Their mouths weren't taped up, but the men in Tang suits sitting on either side of them stared intently at them without saying a word.

Fan Xi's face was extremely pale.

Her body was trembling uncontrollably, and tears were already welling up in her eyes.

She was terrified.

She had never encountered anything like this in her entire life.

She didn't know where these people were taking them, or what would happen to them next.

However, Huo Qian, who was sitting next to her, reacted completely differently from Fan Xi.

Although Huo Qian's hands were also tied, there was no fear on her face.

Her eyes were fixed on the back of the head of the man in the Tang suit sitting in the front passenger seat.

Her lips were tightly pursed, and then she spoke loudly for the first time.

Do you know who my father is?

Huo Qian's voice was very loud, echoing throughout the carriage.

She stared intently at the man in the Tang suit in front of her and continued shouting:

"My dad is Huo Shengyuan of Huo's Solar Energy! That's a conglomerate worth hundreds of billions!"

"You kidnapped me! Do you know what the consequences will be?"

"I'm telling you, if you kidnap me, you're finished!"

Huo Qian's voice was very fierce and forceful.

She was using the biggest trump card she could think of to scare these people.

But what about the result?

None of the men in traditional Chinese clothing sitting on either side of her turned around to look at her.

No one even paid any attention to her.

They acted as if they hadn't heard anything, continuing to stare intently ahead.

Huo Qian's heart sank instantly.

She knew these people were not ordinary kidnappers.

Ordinary kidnappers would be somewhat frightened when they hear the words "a multi-billion dollar conglomerate".

But these people in front of me didn't even react.

This shows that the people behind them don't care about any multi-billion dollar conglomerate at all.

……

About ten more minutes later.

The convoy of pickup trucks turned onto a very narrow dirt road.

The road was surrounded by wasteland and weeds on both sides.

The further you drive in, the more desolate it becomes.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a building that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

This place looks like an old site left over from a former factory.

There are several dilapidated buildings around, with a lot of cement missing from the walls.

The largest building was a very wide warehouse with its metal doors half open.

The men in Tang suits pulled Huo Qian and Fan Xi out of the car.

Then, supporting their arms, he led them directly toward the warehouse.

After entering the warehouse.

Huo Qian and Fan Xi saw someone.

A woman dressed in white.

She was sitting quietly in a chair in the middle of the warehouse.

Her legs were crossed, and she was holding a cup or something in her hand.

He had a very calm smile on his face.

It is Bai Qianyue.

The moment Huo Qian saw Bai Qianyue, her eyes widened in shock.

Although she had never met Bai Qianyue before.

However, after hearing so much about this woman from Li Mengli, she immediately guessed who this person was as soon as she saw her attire and aura.

Bai Qianyue put down the cup in her hand and stood up.

She slowly walked up to Huo Qian and Fan Xi.

She glanced at Huo Qian first, then at Fan Xi.

Bai Qianyue always wore that very gentle smile.

She spoke, her voice very soft:

"I'm sorry, young ladies. It will be a while before you have to stay here."

Bai Qianyue paused for a moment, then said very calmly:

"I need both of you. I need you to make Meng Han obey me."

When Huo Qian heard Bai Qianyue say these words, a very angry expression appeared on her face.

She stared intently at Bai Qianyue and shouted:

"What the hell do you want?! Are you crazy?!"

Bai Qianyue did not answer Huo Qian's question.

She just smiled, then turned around and slowly walked back to the chair she had just been sitting in.

Just at this time.

A very loud noise suddenly came from outside the warehouse.

The voice came from the sky.

Very loud, very dense.

That's the sound of the helicopter's propeller turning.

Bai Qianyue turned her head and looked up at the tin roof of the warehouse, which had several large holes.

Through those holes, she could see the sky.

A black helicopter appeared in the sky.

The helicopters were circling above the base, making a tremendous noise.

The wind blew down from above, sending dust and gravel flying everywhere.

A man dressed in a black Tang suit ran quickly into the warehouse.

He ran up to Bai Qianyue and reported loudly:

"Boss! The first helicopter has arrived! It's Li Ze's men!"

Upon hearing these words, Bai Qianyue's expression finally changed.

But it only changed for a second.

Then her expression returned to its very calm state.

She looked at the man in the Tang suit and gave the order in a very cold tone:

"Everyone, immediately enter combat readiness."

"Shoot those planes down for me."

The man in the Tang suit immediately turned and ran out.

He shouted commands into the communication device as he ran.

Immediately, a great many footsteps could be heard outside the warehouse.

The men in Tang suits emerged from every corner of the base.

They were all carrying weapons; some were holding rifles, while others were carrying even larger items.

They scattered to the west, running towards the direction of the first helicopters in the sky.

at the same time.

The hatches of the black first helicopter in the sky were all open.

Several black ropes were simultaneously thrown out from each of the first helicopters.

The ropes hung down from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, people dressed in black combat uniforms grabbed ropes with both hands and slid down quickly from the first helicopter.

Their movements were very fast and very synchronized.

Everyone carried weapons on their backs and had various kinds of equipment hanging from their waists.

They descended from the sky to the ground at an incredibly fast speed, one after another, without stopping.

One, two, five, ten.

More and more men in black descended from the sky.

The moment their feet touched the ground, they scattered and charged in all directions of the base, guns in hand.

Huo Qian and Fan Xi, who were inside the warehouse, heard the loud noises coming from outside.

The sound of propellers, footsteps, and shouts.

Fan Xi was so frightened that she curled up into a ball.

But Huo Qian's eyes suddenly lit up.

She knew that their rescuers had arrived.
