Within the territory, Dongzhou neighboring city, Yuncheng, south of the city.

A license-less commercial vehicle drove out of an abandoned factory area and sped off in the direction of the suburbs.

In the business car, besides the driver, there were three tattooed men and a little girl of four or five.

The little girl at this moment, her face was pale, her big eyes were full of endless fear, and her whole body trembled slightly.

"Lao San, what do you think you're doing!" The man with the scar on his face looked at the bald head and said in a low voice.

“Look at this little girl, you don't even know she has a phone on her!”

"Boss, I'm so sorry, it was my fault!" the bald man responded quickly.

"I never thought she'd be so spoiled, a kid that little and her mother even brought her a phone!"

"Next time, be more careful!" the scarred man responded in a low voice.

"It's all thanks to us finding out early. Otherwise, if she had called for backup, we four brothers would be in deep trouble!"

"Roger that, boss!" the bald man nodded vigorously.

"Boss, what kind of person wants this little girl The bounty they gave this time is so generous, it can't be just an ordinary person, right" the other man with a buzz cut asked.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't. Just mind your own business!" the scar-faced man responded coldly.

A deep trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and the other party's identity gave him a bone-chilling feeling.

"I'm just a little curious." The man with the buzz cut responded, "So boss, do you know why they took that girl"

"It's said to be for another little girl's heart transplant!" The scar-faced man nodded slightly in response.

Yikes!

The man with the cropped hair gasped, "Damn, that's ruthless! So this little girl is going to die for sure"

"What do you think" The scar-faced man glanced at him.

"Alright!" the buzzcut man shrugged.

"RuiRui won't die, Dad... Daddy will definitely come to save RuiRui..." Hearing the two people's conversation, the little girl cried out loud.

"Where's your father from" the bald man turned to the little girl and said.

You're a wild child, you know! Even your mother doesn't know who your father is!

"Rurui is not a wild child, Rurui has a father..." The little girl continued crying: "You... you bad people, I... my father will definitely not let you go..."

"Ha ha, even if you have a father, he probably died a long time ago. Otherwise, why hasn't he come to look for you all these years"

"Daddy didn't die, he will definitely come to save Ruirui..." The little girl shook her head vigorously: "Daddy will definitely come..."

"Then you think your dad will come to save you Tomorrow Or the day after tomorrow" The bald man grinned.

"It's a pity, you're having surgery tonight. After tonight, even if your father comes, you won't be able to see him!"

"No...no way, Ruirui will definitely see Dad..." The little girl cried out loudly.

"Alright, stop teasing her!" The scar-faced man said in a low voice and then looked at the driver: "Lao Si, find a place without surveillance to change cars and leave!"

"Roger that, boss!" the driver replied with a nod.

……

Yikes!

At one o'clock in the afternoon, a military jeep pulled up to the abandoned factory on the south side of Yun City.

Bang!

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Ling Hao, his body radiating killing intent, kicked open the car door and rushed into the factory.

An hour ago, he and Lu Yue had just gotten off the plane at Dongzhou Military Airport when they received a message from Xuanwu.

Tell him that the phone number listed for RuiRui is not in Dongzhou, but from an industrial park on the outskirts of Yun Cheng, a neighboring city to Dongzhou.

So, the two of them drove a military jeep from Dongzhou at lightning speed and rushed to Yuncheng.

"Are you sure that the last message from Rui Rui's phone was sent from here" Ling Hao scanned his surroundings and looked at Lu Yue behind him.

The entire factory hall was deserted, with only a few worn-out sofas and some defunct machinery equipment.

"Confirmed!" Lu Yue nodded emphatically. "The war department system pinpointed the location; there's no room for error!"

Ling Hao frowned tightly, then strode quickly to the door of a room on the inside. He raised his hand and waved it, and the entire door panel burst apart in an instant, splinters flying everywhere.

Whew!

When he saw the pile of shattered phone parts on the ground, a surge of murderous intent erupted from Ling Hao once again.

It's too late, clearly!

Lü Yuè, standing behind him, couldn't help but shiver with a chill!

He knew that the city of Yúnchéng was about to experience a major earthquake!

Ling Shuai, enraged, died a violent death and was carried across thousands of miles!

Only he knew best how terrifying a person their commander truly was.

Just the names "Ling" and "Shuai" are enough to drive millions of passionate young men mad with excitement and awe!

The arrival of a qilin from heaven is a great blessing for the nation!

Three years ago, at only twenty-two years old, he became a legend in the camp, riding alone and leaving everyone else behind!

Facing ten enemies alone and sweeping through the top ten elite generals of the Ten Kingdoms, he became a god in a single battle!

I have been ordered to garrison the West, form the Blood Shadow Squad, and intimidate the surrounding nations. Let all the petty villains tremble at our name!

Two years ago, I took on a new role, leading the mysterious organization within the country - Yingmen. My mission is to maintain order, punish evildoers, and bring justice to the land!

Before March, the enemy on the Western Front plotted chaos, leading the Blood Shadow Army straight to the core, beheading the enemy commander. A million-strong enemy army was reduced to just ten thousand!

"Check!" After retracting his aura, Ling Hao instructed in a low voice.

"Have someone coordinate with the Yuncheng Police Station to check every suspicious vehicle that has entered or exited this area from the time I received the message from me to Ruirui until now!"

Give them half an hour, I need to know the results!

"Got it!" Lu Yue nodded and took out his phone to make a call.

"When will the judge arrive" After Lu Yue hung up, Ling Hao continued to ask.

The judge he spoke of was one of the Five Blades of Yǐng Mén!

The Shadow Gate, divided by geography, has five regions within its territory. Each region is overseen by a sharp blade.

"When I called him, he was on a mission out of town. He said he'd be back as soon as possible and should arrive before evening, barring any unforeseen circumstances," Lu Yue responded.

"Hmm!" Ling Hao nodded slightly.

"General, where are we going now" Lu Yue asked as the two got back in the car.

"Get someone to pinpoint Qin Yuxin's location. She might know who took Ruirui!" Ling Hao responded after a moment of thought.

"Good!" Lu Yue edited a message and sent it out.

!

Five minutes later, Lu Yue's phone buzzed with a notification. He picked it up and took a look.

"Marshal, Qin Yuxin's location has been confirmed." Lu Yue looked at Ling Hao with a hesitant expression.

"Speak!" Ling Hao said in a deep voice.

"She is currently at the Huanyu Hotel in Yuncheng." Lu Yue took a deep breath before responding.

"Hmm!" Ling Hao turned his head to look at Lu Yue, his brows furrowing slightly.

Perhaps she was just at the hotel for business. Lu Yue took another deep breath.

"Get in the car!" Ling Hao lit a cigarette, took a long drag, his eyes cold and his face grim.

Boom!

Lu Yue slammed his foot on the accelerator, and the car shot out.won't be any problems!" Ling Hao smiled and nodded.“That’s good!” A look of relief flashed across Qin Hongyuan’s face.Time flies, an hour passes in the blink of an eye.Beep! Beep!At this moment, Qin H...
