At Kunming Airport, Gu Qichen's car stopped inside the airport, and he rushed in after getting out.
The airport security guards immediately blocked him, but were subdued by Yu Jing, who then showed his access pass.
The guards stopped, and Gu Qichen rushed straight in, walking to the front desk. "Which flight is going to Country M from here!"
The staff member immediately said, "The HA9081 that just took off is a direct flight to Country M. As for the next one—"
Gu Qichen's face immediately turned grim. As he rushed into the airport, a plane had just flown overhead.
Lu Mingxi wouldn't linger at the airport for too long. He must have taken Qin He away on that plane!
Yu Jing hurried in behind him. "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry! I didn't expect Miss Qin to leave with Lu Mingxi!"
A surge of rage and murderous intent roiled in Gu Qichen's eyes.
"He tricked her into leaving!"
In the icy sea, Gu Qichen understood what Qin He meant.
But even with withdrawal, it could have been done in Qingcheng. He wanted to be with her.
However, the authoritative institution mentioned by Lu Mingxi must have given her hope.
Gu Qichen took a deep breath. "Immediately deploy the private jet and go to Country M."
He turned to leave with a grim expression. Yu Jing hesitated, "Mr. Gu, Miss Qin will come back, right?"
Gu Qichen's voice was icy. "Since Lu Mingxi took her away, he won't let her come back easily."
Lu Mingxi!
"Mobilize the people in Qingcheng. Call Li Yan and Yan Chen. Attack the Lu Corporation!"
The people in Kunming began to leave.
"The Gu family, the Lu family, and Qin He have all left. Boss, should we go and capture them?"
In a dimly lit room in a Japanese-style villa in the north, Shen Yizong sat while Monkey reported the situation. Monkey dared not look up, his eyes filled with deep fear.
Shen Yizong had been sitting there for two hours.
He did not rage, nor did he speak.
Monkey knew that the strategist had made concessions yesterday, and after consideration, had let Qin He go.
He took a plane overnight to the neighboring country to invite a famous stomach cancer specialist. The person had been invited and was waiting in the living room.
He had accompanied the strategist to speak with the elder brother of the master when he saw the person hanging by the bedside.
The body had already stiffened and grown cold.
Shen Yilin had hanged himself from the chains that Shen Yizong had used to restrain him, and in doing so, had found true freedom.
After Monkey finished reporting, Shen Yizong, still on the ground, did not speak.
He cautiously retreated and left the room.
The room was silent. Shen Yilin had already been taken down from the chains and placed on the floor before him.
The young man was no longer like his former self, thin, with his eyes closed, not a breath escaping him.
Shen Yizong's gaze fell on Shen Yilin's chest, waiting for a rise and fall.
But there was none.
In the cold room, the last trace of warmth completely dissipated.
Shen Yizong turned his head and looked at the opened paper box on the bedside table.
Since discovering his brother hanging by the bedside, he had not looked at the suicide note. He could not accept Shen Yilin's departure.
This was the only person in the world who shared blood and kinship with him.
Shen Yizong picked up the paper box and began to read the handwriting.
"Let Qin He go?" His gaze fixed on these four words, and suddenly he laughed, lowering his head to look at Shen Yilin on the ground.
"You said you didn't want to suffer in your final moments, so you left. But then you told me to let Qin He go. Were you doing it for yourself, or for her?"
Shen Yizong pursed his lips. In any case, it wasn't for his sake, Shen Yizong.
He squatted down and placed the paper box into Shen Yilin's hand.
"Originally, I planned to let her go. But since you've gone this far for her, leaving me in this manner, I will not let her go, even if I die!"
Death was the deepest betrayal. Shen Yizong felt as if something was missing from his heart, and it had turned to stone.
He stood up, placed his brother on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.
He left the room and went to the living room. Everyone in the living room was in their assigned positions.
Monkey was talking with the expert.
When the expert saw Shen Yizong come out, he immediately stood up. "Sir, may I see the patient now?"
Shen Yizong raised an eyebrow. "You want to see him?"
The doctor frowned. "Didn't I come here to treat him? How can I treat him if I don't see him?"
Shen Yizong nodded. "Then go down and treat him."
The doctor was stunned, then looked terrified. "What are you talking about?"
Shen Yizong drew a gun from his waist. The pistol spun in his hand, and with a bang.
The invited expert fell to the ground.
Monkey remained silent, then stepped forward, dragged the expert's corpse out.
Shen Yizong watched coldly, then turned and went upstairs.
When Monkey returned, the alarm for security breach in the villa also sounded, and everyone immediately sprang into action.
Monkey rushed to the third floor. "Strategist, it should be Black Eagle's people who have found us!"
Shen Yizong's expression was grim and dark. "I know."
...
Qingcheng.
Based on the clues provided by Gu Qichen, Qian Zimo's department finally pinpointed Shen Yizong's location.
He seemed to have suddenly appeared on the map.
More than half of the Qingyan Prefecture's forces had been dispatched to Kunming. They were originally returning, but upon receiving Qian Zimo's message, they immediately headed to surround and capture Shen Yizong.
Everyone marched in one direction. Di Shishi and Zuo Xiuxian had been searching for Qin He in Kunming during this time. They were both relieved to hear that Qin He was safe.
Today, upon learning of Shen Yizong's whereabouts, Di Shishi clenched her fists, ready to properly deal with this hidden hand that had been lurking in the shadows, and then capture him and bring him back to Qingcheng for Qin He to dispense justice.
Zuo Xiuxian was driving a modified jeep, looking at Di Shishi, who was wiping her knife in the passenger seat.
"You might not need this knife."
"We're almost there." Di Shishi's gaze was sharp. At this moment, she exuded the chilling aura of Qingyan Prefecture's Di Shi. Her small face was solemn, her eyes cautious and vigilant, filled with killing intent and ferocity.
As the car neared their destination, both their expressions turned grim.
From here, they could already hear gunshots.
"Drive faster, something's happened!" Di Shishi said.
By the time Zuo Xiuxian and Di Shishi's car could see the villa, they saw the Japanese-style villa explode with a roar from afar.
Di Shishi's heart leaped, and she was about to get out of the car.
Zuo Xiuxian grabbed her. "Something's not right. Those they're fighting don't seem to be our people."
Those individuals were wearing dark camouflage uniforms, more like international mercenaries, with a black eagle emblem on the back of their camouflage.
Zuo Xiuxian had excellent eyesight and squinted to observe for a moment.
"When Mo sent the message, we were the closest. So our people shouldn't have arrived yet. This is their firefight. We can't go up now, or we'll easily become targets for both sides!"
Di Shishi was a little anxious. "Then what should we do? The villa exploded, did Shen Yizong die in there!"
Zuo Xiuxian nodded. "Looking at how happy those people in camouflage uniforms are, you can tell. We need to go back first! You call Mo!"
