Chapter 185: Saving
Chapter 185
The two sides were in a standoff.
Wei Li was grabbed by the collar by a foreigner, "You said your brother would come, but now not only your brother came, everyone came. What's going on? What exactly did you say? You fool!"
Wei Li: "I didn't expect them to react like this. I thought they would be cautious... Now, take that woman out, and we can use her to threaten them so we can escape."
The foreigner pushed him away, "I'll trust you one more time, you damn fool!"
Song Luokui's eyes were covered, and her heart was pounding. To be honest, she had been kidnapped before, but this time she had a very bad feeling, as if the scriptwriter was lurking in the shadows.
But she was already in her twenties, wasn't the scriptwriter supposed to be gone? How could they still be around?
Although puzzled, Song Luokui had a strong feeling that the scriptwriter might kill her, just like she had once been on the brink of death.
As she was thinking, Song Luokui was suddenly lifted up, with a gun pointed at her temple, and was dragged outside. Although her eyes were covered, she could feel the glaring sunlight.
"Release your people, or I'll blow her brains out right here. In fact, I'd be quite happy to have such a beauty accompany me in my grave," said a foreign voice that Song Luokui heard.
The foreigner even leaned closer to Song Luokui's ear and sniffed her, then said, "Oh, she smells so good, a real delicacy." His disgusting nose was sniffing around Song Luokui's neck.
Song Luokui shuddered and struggled, but was immediately slapped, "Don't move! Stay still."
"Don't touch her!" Song Luokui heard Chi Yu's anxious voice.
The foreigner sneered, "If you want me to leave her alone, release your people! I'm not a patient man."
On Chi Yu's side, there was Song Luosheng and some other plainclothes officers, and even snipers on higher ground. However, the foreigner was clever enough to hide behind Song Luokui, making it impossible for the snipers to get a clear shot.
Song Luosheng and Chi Yu exchanged a glance, and Song Luosheng nodded, "Release him."
Chi Yu pushed Wei Qing out.
Wei Li immediately removed the handcuffs from Wei Qing. Wei Qing stretched her arms, glanced at Wei Li, and then turned towards the foreign leader Nuo Hansi.
"Is the helicopter ready?"
Nuo Hansi: "It's all set. Why are you in such a mess?"He tossed a gun to Wei Qing.
Wei Qing lowered her eyes, "Merely a temporary defeat. Let's leave first."
Nuo Hansi said something into his earpiece, and soon a helicopter began preparing for takeoff. Nuo Hansi kept dragging Song Luokui towards it, while Wei Qing and Wei Li also headed for the helicopter.
Wei Qing glanced at Song Luokui, "As long as we have her, they won't dare shoot at the helicopter or vehicles. We'll head to the northern border first, and once we're in Country E, we'll be fine."
"Yeah."
Song Luokui was taken onto the helicopter, and soon she felt it taking off.
Although Chi Yu and his team didn't take action, they immediately gave chase after the helicopter left.
During the pursuit, Chi Yu was worried, "We can't let them reach the neighboring country." That would put his precious one in even greater danger.
Song Luokui's brow was constantly furrowed, as she hadn't slept well for days, just like Chi Yu. They both looked haggard.
"They'll have to go through customs when crossing the border. That's when we'll catch them."
After three days and nights on the run, Song Luokui was taken to the border. Her situation was dire, and she could feel the onset of fever, her body burning hot, but no one cared.
The others weren't faring much better either, as they had been hiding and running the entire time. Chi Yu's tracking methods were relentless, and they soon found their trail and caught up.
It was now night, and they were heading towards the border, driving through the jungle. Suddenly, the vehicle shook violently, and with a "thud," it came to a stop, seemingly suffering a breakdown.
"Change vehicles!" Wei Qing ordered immediately, but as soon as they got out, gunshots rang out, "Bang bang bang!" Many of Wei Qing's men fell to the ground in the darkness.
Wei Qing grabbed Song Luokui and started running, "Head for the border!"
Song Luokui was choked by his grip, but it seemed someone aimed for Wei Qing's shoes, as he felt a sharp pain in his foot. He stumbled and fell, loosening his hold on Song Luokui.
Finally, Song Luokui could breathe properly, having nearly suffocated.
On the ground, Song Luokui kept trying to untie the ropes binding her hands, but Wei Qing quickly got back up, grabbed her, and continued running while using her as a shield.
Song Luokui stumbled along, already ill and unable to move quickly, with Wei Qing dragging her as he ran.
"Song Luokui, if I die, you'll join me in the grave. It would be fitting for you to die with my brother Wei Qing, since you're the most precious person to the Song family and Chi Yu."
"Come to think of it, you've never called me 'Brother Wei Qing.' Call me that, and maybe I'll let you go."
Song Luokui remained silent.
But Wei Qing kept rambling, "It would've been better if the Song and Wei families had formed an alliance through marriage. Why didn't your family agree? We did send you a message about it."
Song Luokui: ...What kind of dream is this? She had someone she liked, whose family was decent. Why would she need to ally with the Wei family through marriage? How arrogant of them!
Wei Qing stroked her face, "But it doesn't matter. Once we're out of the country, you'll only be able to be with me. If we can't leave the country, we can be husband and wife underground. Doesn't that sound nice?"
In truth, he didn't particularly like Song Luokui either. He mainly wanted to upset Chi Yu and Song Luosheng out of lust and spite, as he had been sent abroad by them to handle some matters.
Song Luokui and he didn't have much interaction, and in fact, it was because of her that Wei Qing had been sent overseas by Song Luosheng and Chi Yu.
Amidst the incessant chatter, gunfire, and shouts, Song Luokui felt the pain of branches scratching her face as she struggled to free her hands from the ropes.
Not far away, only a kilometer from the border, Wei Qing started to lose her composure. However, at this moment, Song Luokui suddenly broke free from the ropes binding her hands and snatched the gun from Wei Qing's grip. "Bang!" With a loud sound, Wei Qing's eyes widened as she fell to the ground.
Song Luokui also collapsed to the ground. She felt the gun being seized from her hand again. Wei Qing was only wounded in the abdomen, but Song Luokui's mind became hazy and her vision blurred. She felt the muzzle of a gun pressed against her head, realizing that perhaps this life would end right here.
Forgive me, father and mother. Forgive me, brother. Forgive me, Chi Yu. Forgive me, all those whom I love and who love me. I'm sorry, I can't hold on any longer.
