Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1432: There Will Always Be Someone Stronger

“Go home? Where to? This is my home. I’m not going anywhere!” Gu Nianzhi pointed a gun to her temple. With a cold face, she said, “She’s lost so much blood, you can’t just let her lie there. Call an ambulance! Or I’ll shoot!”

The man snickered. “If I had known, I would have shot her the moment I opened the door. That way I wouldn’t have needed to call an ambulance.”

Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes. “If she had shot you when you came in, you wouldn’t have been involved!”

“Haha… Why do you say that? If she had shot us first, she would be dead by now.” the man took out a strangely shaped gun from behind him and aimed it at Gu Nianzhi. “To be honest, I could have shot her while I was outside the door. She was smart enough not to confront us head-on.”

Experts could tell whether they were a match for each other just by looking at each other.

He could deal with Xiao Ye alone, not to mention that there were four of them.

Xiao Ye must have weighed the pros and cons before using the best method to stall for time.

However, she didn’t expect these people to be more powerful than she had expected!

“However, our goal is not to take her life. Since she didn’t make the first move, we won’t send her to her death right away.”

The person bowed politely.

They had investigated and prepared for the operation in advance a long time ago. They had taken into account the other party’s background.

They knew very well how powerful Xiao Ye was.

The people that had been dispatched this time had all been carefully selected. Even if Huo Shaoheng had come personally, they would still be able to deal with her.

In order to deal with Xiao Ye, they needed to be able to defeat her in one move while not give her any room to fight back.

The moment this person succeeded in his attack, he had immediately broken Xiao Ye’s limbs and disabled her ability to fight.

He stood there calmly. He looked composed, but vigilance was was written in his eyes.

“Make the call first!” Gu Nianzhi’s hand, which was holding the gun, began to tremble.

She had never experienced anything like this. Back in India when she was at the Taj Mahal and Cape Cod, she thought that she had already seen the worst. Now, facing these four hostile-looking men, she felt as though she was facing an army.

The four of them were brimming with murderous intent!

When she was shoved into the bedroom by Xiao Ye, she had assumed that they would be able to hold out until the people from the special operations forces arrived, judging from Xiao Ye’s skills.

In the end, in just one exchange, Xiao Ye’s wrist had been broken and she was reduced to a lump on the ground.

How could these people be so powerful?!

She had been hiding in the bedroom. In less than a minute, she heard nine shots fired outside.

By the time she had rushed out, Xiao Ye was already lying in a pool of blood.

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes were red, and she shouted, “Call an ambulance!”

She wanted Xiao Ye to be treated in time, but at the same time, she wanted to stall for time.

Xiao Ye had used her life to fight for her chance to survive, and she couldn’t let it go to waste.

She had to do something for Xiao Ye.

The man put the gun back into his pants, took out his phone with one hand, lowered his head, and dialed a few numbers. Suddenly, a round gold coin popped out of his other hand, and hit Gu Nianzhi’s ulnar nerve on her elbow!

Gu Nianzhi’s arm, which was holding the gun, suddenly went numb. Her wrist lost strength and the gun fell to the ground with a thud.

“Take it away!” the man immediately took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose with one hand. He twisted her arm behind her back with the other hand and kicked her gun far away.

Gu Nianzhi immediately held her breath, but she still fainted from the smell of the handkerchief.

The three people behind her quickly moved forward. One of them placed a hat on Gu Nianzhi’s head, covering her face tightly. At the same time, he took off the diamond earrings on her earlobe and threw them on the carpet.

The other person held Gu Nianzhi’s other arm and held her on both sides with the person-in-charge. They rushed into the elevator.

The last person threw a bottle of tear gas into the room. White smoke suddenly rose. Xiao Ye had just woken up from the pain but was immediately choked by the tear gas. She quickly fainted again.

…

The four of them brought Gu Nianzhi, who had already been knocked out by them, down from the elevator and rushed to a black SUV parked in the underground parking lot.

The five of them got into the car. The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the black SUV shot forward like an arrow.

After the special operations forces discovered that there was a problem with the surveillance cameras on Gu Nianzhi’s side, they immediately rushed over and brushed past the black SUV on the road.

Five minutes later, the black SUV arrived at an intersection near the third ring road of the imperial capital.

There was a lot of traffic and tall buildings.

Traffic lights hung high above the four exits, and the surveillance cameras surveyed both directions, the north, and south.

When the black SUV drove under the central surveillance camera at the intersection, an 18-wheeler truck suddenly drove over and blocked the surveillance camera.

When the 18-wheeler truck left, four identical black SUVs appeared under the surveillance camera and drove in four different directions.

Some of the vehicles at the intersection noticed that there was only one black SUV driving over. Why did four black SUVs appear in the blink of an eye after the truck drove away?

However, they only took a glance and thought that their eyes were playing tricks on them.

After all, this intersection was too busy, and it was the imperial capital. It was common for several identical cars to appear.

The four men in black took exactly ten minutes from the time they appeared at Gu Nianzhi’s door to the time they took her to leave in the black SUV.

Their methods were unusually clean, and they had taken all sorts of factors into account. The time difference was impeccable.

During this time, none of the neighbors upstairs or downstairs were alarmed.

This was because the privacy of the apartment was so well-protected that even the neighbors did not communicate with each other.

…

Within ten minutes, the people from the special operations forces arrived at Gu Nianzhi’s apartment.

They had a key card, so they were able to come up.

When they arrived downstairs, they discovered that the surveillance cameras had actually been restored. It was as though the ten minutes of malfunction had been a system failure.

“What’s going on? Is there a system malfunction?” they muttered downstairs. However, they still decided to make a phone call to ask.

They hadn’t been able to get through to the phone just now, and had been so scared that their legs had almost gone soft.

They hoped that it was a false alarm.

One of the staff members dialed Gu Nianzhi’s number first.

Not long after, the mechanical female voice’s standard answer came from the other end.

“The number you have dialed is not in the service area. Please try again later.”

Where did she go?

They looked at each other and felt that something was not right. As they walked into the elevator, they dialed Xiao Ye’s number.

Xiao Ye’s number was dialed, but there was no answer.

However, after Xiao Ye’s phone rang a few times, her voice message sounded. “I am in danger. Please come and rescue me!”

This was the automatic reply that she had set up for her phone.

Time was of the essence at the time, so when Xiao Ye realized that she could not make a call, she only had time to change her automatic reply.

This was also an exclusive function that the cell phones of the members of the special operations force possessed.

“Oh no! Something really happened!”

The few of them rushed out of the elevator and noticed that Gu Nianzhi’s apartment door lock had been destroyed.

When they pushed open the door, they saw a bloodied person lying on the snow-white carpet, and the tear gas was spewing out of the room.

These people were caught off guard. They coughed due to the fumes and kept wiping their tears.

They quickly took out their masks and goggles and put them on, then rushed in.

“It’s Xiao Ye!”

“How could they be so ruthless?!”

They immediately took action.

Someone was calling for backup, someone was calling for an ambulance, someone was doing emergency bleeding control for Xiao Ye, and someone was also calling the head of the headquarters, Zhou Qiyuan, to report that something terrible had happened here.

Fortunately, four people from the special operations forces had come. Otherwise they would have been really busy.

Zhou Qiyuan received the call and was overcome by such an immense wave of shock that he almost pushed down the computer in front of him. “What did you say?! Xiao Ye is seriously injured?! Where’s Miss Gu?! Where’s Miss Gu?!”

The person held the phone and walked around Gu Nianzhi’s apartment. “We don’t see Miss Gu. We called her and the voice message indicated that her phone wasn’t in the service area.”

Zhou Qiyuan’s heart couldn’t help sinking. He took a deep breath and said, “I’ll send a large team of reinforcements. You guys keep an eye on the scene and don’t let the Imperial Police get involved for the time being.”

Zhou Qiyuan put down the phone and immediately used the highest-level orange phone of the special operations forces to call the military base in Riwa City.

“I’m the Colonel Commander of the Special Operations Forces, Zhou Qiyuan. I have a very important situation to report to Major General Huo Shaoheng. Please find Major General Huo Shaoheng immediately!”

The military base realized that the call was made from an orange phone that was only used for the highest-level security threats. They knew that something big had happened. It immediately sent people to the air defense command room to find Huo Shaoheng. They reported, “Major General Huo, Zhou Qiyuan from the capital’s Special Operations Forces Headquarters is looking for you on an orange phone. Please pick up the call immediately!”

Huo Shaoheng had been glancing out of the window when he heard that it was Zhou Qiyuan’s orange phone. His face twitched involuntarily.

He stood up calmly. “Where’s the phone?”

“In the central control room.”

Huo Shaoheng walked out of the air defense command room like the wind and almost started running.

He rushed to the central control room and answered Zhou Qiyuan’s call. “This is Huo Shaoheng.”

Zhou Qiyuan couldn’t help but stand at attention. “Huo Shao, the situation is not good. Xiao Ye has been attacked and Miss Gu is missing. She’s at the third ring apartment.”

Huo Shaoheng heard it and took three seconds to react. “Say that again?!”

“Huo Shao, Xiao Ye has been attacked. Miss Gu is missing. She’s at the third ring apartment.”

Huo Shaoheng’s mind buzzed, and his vision went black.

He had to use all his control to stabilize himself.

“I’ll be right there.” he didn’t ask any more questions and told the person in the central control room, “I have an urgent matter to attend to and would need to return to the capital immediately. Help me inform General Ji and the others. Also, arrange a special plane for me to take off in ten minutes. Tell Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze to head to the airport immediately.”

He left the control room without looking back and rushed to his dormitory.

Huo Shaoheng returned to his dormitory and only packed his laptop and mobile phone. He did not take any other luggage and ran straight to the airport.

Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze were also stunned when they received the news.

“Zhou Qiyuan’s orange phone?! My grandmother! This is a huge disaster!” Yin Shixiong slapped his head. “Let’s go, go, go!”

He pushed Zhao Liangze back to the dormitory and only packed his laptop and phone. He had the soldiers pack the rest of the things for them.

They arrived at the airport in ten minutes. The airport gate was about to close and the flight was about to take off.

“Wait for us! Wait for us!” Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze ran over breathlessly. They finally boarded the plane a second before the cabin door closed.

Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze sat next to Huo Shaoheng and asked worriedly, “Huo Shao, what happened?”

Huo Shaoheng had just spoken to Zhou Qiyuan on the phone. His expression was extremely grim. “Xiao Ye was attacked and Nianzhi was taken away.”
