Chapter 328 The Devil's Gambit

Eight o'clock in the morning at the He Sai family's mountain village.

In Lu Guangwei's wooden house, a soldier sat up in bed, rubbing his groggy head.

After a moment of disorientation, he reached out, rubbed his head, and shouted, "Xia Mi, wake up, get up."

"Damn, my head is buzzing..." His companion also woke up, wearily propping himself up on the bed. "I didn't drink that much last night...!"

The two sobered up and prepared to go out to wash, but they found that Lu Benwei's shoes and his sister-in-law's bag were still on the sofa, untouched. Clearly, they hadn't gotten up either.

Five minutes later, the two dressed and went upstairs, stepping on the creaking stairs, ready to call their boss and his wife for breakfast.

One of the soldiers reached out and gently knocked on the bedroom door. "Boss, sister-in-law, time to get up. You agreed to have breakfast with others this morning..."

"Creak."

There was no response from inside, but the door opened by itself. The two looked inside and were dumbfounded. The king-size bed was completely empty.

"Where are they?"

The two entered the room, puzzled. One of them tripped over something near the bed and almost fell.

He looked down and saw a pair of pale legs sticking out from under the bed.

The soldier froze for a couple of seconds, finally realizing something was wrong. He quickly squatted down and patted the woman's legs. "Sister-in-law, what are you doing under the bed?"

...

Morning, Slanka Town.

Several cars were parked on the outskirts of the town, within a defense zone. A dozen or so people were resting nearby. Mr. Wu had already torn off his fake beard and wig, revealing his true appearance.

He was none other than Dai Quan, whom Su Tianyu had met before. Without his disguise, he completely lacked his previous big shot demeanor. He sat on a large rock, legs crossed, casually eating a boxed lunch.

A Gui, handcuffed and shivering, squatted by the car tire, staring blankly at everything in front of him. A young man stood next to him, smoking and keeping watch.

After a while, several military vehicles drove from the direction of the town and stopped by the road.

An officer of the People's Army jumped out of one of the military vehicles with a dozen soldiers and walked towards Dai Quan.

Dai Quan ate his boxed lunch while casually greeting the officer. He instructed one of the young men, "Go open the trunk and give them the person."

The young man nodded, and with two other companions, opened the trunk of their SUV and lifted out the unconscious Lu Guangwei.

At this moment, A Gui looked at the naked Lu Guangwei, his mind buzzing!

He finally understood, he understood everything!

It was all a setup!

From the moment the middleman Lao Wei called him, he had fallen into a trap!

The check he received, the initial deposit, all of that was just to gain their trust. Their real purpose was to steal Lu Guangwei!

Inviting him to watch the sunrise and talk about military deals was all bullshit!

That was all to avoid the checkpoint when leaving the village and leave smoothly!

Damn it, they went to such great lengths just to steal a person? Even the experienced A Gui couldn't have predicted this!

The entire He Sai village has always had a globalized approach, with too many distinguished guests coming here to discuss business every day. Who could have possibly foreseen that one of the groups of clients wanted to kidnap another client?

A Gui squatted on the ground, his brain racing, quickly coming up with many more possibilities!

Damn it, the middleman Lao Wei was his client, and he was the one who arranged this deal! He was also the one who bragged about Mr. Wu being a big shot from the Ninth Division!

Most importantly, he was the one who provided the car used to kidnap Lu Guangwei!

So, what kind of person would He Sai think he was?

Thinking of this, A Gui was about to piss himself. He immediately yelled, "Mr. Wu!! I beg you, let me make a call! Please, be kind...!"

Dai Quan continued to eat his boxed lunch, ignoring him completely.

A Gui's legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, begging bitterly, "Mr. Wu, you stole Lu Guangwei, and I was the one who provided the car! Now you're taking me home... that's like having mud in my pants, even if it's not shit, it'll look like shit! If they can't find me, they'll definitely go after my wife! I beg you, let me make a call, my wife is innocent!"

A Gui's voice grew increasingly shrill, even laced with sobs.

Dai Quan glanced at him, thought for a moment, took out his phone from his pocket, and threw it to him.

"Thank you, thank you!" A Gui thanked him profusely.

The young man responsible for guarding him drew a gun from his waist and pointed it at A Gui's head, warning, "Say what you need to say, don't say what you shouldn't, or I'll really send you back home!"

A Gui nodded repeatedly and picked up the phone.

...

Dragon City, the National Security Bureau.

Su Tianyu strode out of his office. Gu Baishun and Hou Guoyu followed behind him, walking downstairs together.

At this time, Su Tianyu's expression was somewhat surprised, and he muttered, "So awesome? They got the guy out without firing a single shot?"

"Yes, the person is already in Slanka." Gu Baishun, who was next to him, couldn't help but sigh. "This Dai Quan is quite something... his way of doing things is different from normal people. He just straight up stole the person."

Su Tianyu turned to look at him, asking with interest, "How did he steal him?"

"It's like this..." Gu Baishun truthfully described what he knew.

After listening to Gu Baishun, Hou Guoyu recalled the scene when he first met Dai Quan, and couldn't help but reply, "I didn't see it. This old guy has guts! He's a real actor!"

Su Tianyu thought for a moment and smiled, "Heh, that's normal."

Hou Guoyu asked curiously, "What's normal?"

Su Tianyu said, "Think about it, if he didn't have these skills, would he dare to actively approach our National Security Bureau? Alright, now that the job is done, let's quickly bring Lu Guangwei back."

Gu Baishun thought for a moment and reminded softly, "Director Su, there are many eyes watching us in Dragon City..."

Su Tianyu instructed, "You take some trusted brothers from the bureau to handle it. Don't make a fuss, keep it secret."

"Okay!" Gu Baishun nodded.

"Oh, right, call Dai Quan over too. I want to chat with him."

Soon, the three left the National Security Bureau and left in a car.

...

Outside Slanka Town.

A Gui shivered, kneeling on the ground, making a phone call.

"Beep... beep..."

After a long time, the call was finally connected. A Gui grabbed the phone and said urgently, "Xiao Man! It's me! Listen to me, quickly take the money I left with you, and don't take anything else! Find Lele, let him send you away, secretly leave the village!"

There was a long silence on the phone, then a man's voice spoke up, "Brother... I'm Lele."

A Gui paused, frowning and asking, "You're already there?"

"You already know?" A Le gave a divine reply.

"???"

A Gui's brain crashed instantly, and he asked in a daze, "Kn... know what?"

Lele sighed, "Ah... Brother, since you mentioned the money, I won't hide it from you. This morning, after you left, Xiao Man and I also left. We're no longer in the village. All these years... ah, I don't need to tell you, you understand..."

"Damn your mother!!" A Gui roared in anger, "...You two dog fuckers? You even took my money?"

………………

After taking the medicine, I feel a bit better. Normal updates will resume today.
