But Jiang Rui stopped her.

“No, we can’t get through to them.”

Chen Chen stared at him motionlessly and asked, “Why?”

Jiang Rui put the luggage away and took out all the gifts she brought back.

“Brother Xiao Rui?” Chen Chen asked with a look of panic, “Is something wrong?”

Holding her in his arms, Jiang Rui slowly said, “Last night, I received a call from Xiao Si, and he said that he had lost contact with Scar…”

“What does it mean to lose contact?” Chen Chen held him by the sleeve. “Are they missing?”

Jiang Rui gave Chen Chen a pat to comfort her. “Scar gets a locator with him. But yesterday, Xiao Si suddenly found that the locator didn’t work, so he called Scar but Scar’s phone was switched off. He turned to call the landline and no one answered it.”

“What, what do you mean?” Chen Chen didn’t want to say the answer she thought.

“Liuliu.” Jiang Rui looked at her seriously. “Scar and Zhou Yiyun may have been kidnapped by terrorists.”

Chen Chen burst into tears. “No, it’s impossible.”

“Calm down.” Jiang Rui shook her. “It’s not as bad as you think. I suppose that the kidnappers should be someone Long Zhen’ao knows. They are targeted at me, so they will not hurt Scar and Zhou Yiyun for the time being.”

Chen Chen looked at him in a daze. Jiang Rui said with a sigh, “Liuliu, I have to go for them in person.”

“No!” Chen Chen held him. “You can’t go. They’re just ready to catch you. You can’t step into the trap.”

“I must go.” Jiang Rui raised her head. “Scar is waiting for me.”

Chen Chen looked at him with tears in her eyes, unable to say a word.

Scar was his partner also his comrade-in-arms. Besides, Zhou Yiyun once saved her life. She had no reason to stop Jiang Rui.

“Okay, I will go too!”

Jiang Rui’s face clouded over. “Nonsense, what are you going to do there?”

“I…” Chen Chen was speechless. “He’s right. What can I do there? All that I can do is just to hold him back…”

Then, Jiang Rui spent the whole night in the army. Chen Chen couldn’t sleep at home and Ah Zi, who was pregnant, was sent by Bear to her house.

“You can rest assured that they will definitely come back!” Ah Zi comforted her. “I told Bear that if he didn’t come back, I would remarry with my son in my belly!”

Chen Chen glanced at her. If she herself said the same thing to Brother Xiao Rui, she would be definitely bullied…

While they were joking, the mood on Jiang Rui’s side was very solemn.

An amputated finger was delivered to them by express at that afternoon.

“The genome comparison showed that it was Scar’s finger…” The moment Hua Tuo finished speaking, Xiao Si pounded on the table. “D*mn it! I’m going to kill those guys.”

“Boss!” Bear stood up. “We can’t wait any longer.”

Jiang Rui clenched his fist. “Get everyone ready to go. We’re to leave three hours later.”

“What about Long Zhen’ao?” Xiao Si asked, “We can’t land on the island without him.”

“I’ll ask Wan Qingsi to send Long over there directly. We’ll meet him on the island of the Wen family.” Jiang Rui stood up and started to walk out. “Bear, let’s go to my house. Xiao Si will pick us up later.”

He paused at the door, seriously saying in a low voice, “As usual, write down your wills.”

Chen Chen felt that something terrible would happen as soon as she heard the door open. Jiang Rui and Bear came in, neither of whom said a word.

“Are you leaving now?” Chen Chen began to choke with sobs. “Brother Xiao Rui…”

Jiang Rui took her into the room, and Bear picked up Ah Zi and sat down on the sofa.

“Ah Zi, I have changed the beneficiary to you. Besides, I have also additionally filled your name in all my property ownership certificates. We have all our money in those three bank cards, with the password being your birthday date.”

“What are you doing?” Ah Zi stared at him. “Listen to me, if you don’t come back, I’ll spend your money on some toy boys!”

Bear held her tightly in his arms. “Ah Zi… Ah Zi!”

Ah Zi said with a pair of red eyes, “You must come back. Do you hear that clearly? You must come back, otherwise, otherwise I will jump off a building with our child in my belly.”

“Nonsense.” Bear kissed her fiercely. “You must live a good life with the child!”

In the room, Chen Chen was weeping silently, and looking at Jiang Rui motionlessly.

“Liuliu, when all the sand slips through the pore, I’ll be back.” Jiang Rui took a blue hourglass from his pocket.

Chen Chen took it and held it tightly in her hand. “How long?”

“Three days.” Jiang Rui held her in his arms. “I will be back in three days.”

What he didn’t say was that if he didn’t return after three days, he would probably never return.

“Ooh…” Chen Chen firmly bit Jiang Rui’s collar so that she would cry out.

“Be a good girl. I’ll be okay.” Jiang Rui stroked her on the back. “I’m not on my first mission. I used to be able to destroy a base by myself. This time, I’ll leave with a lot of soldiers, and we must successfully save Scar and Zhou Yiyun.”

Chen Chen nodded so hard. “You must come back. Besides, you must not sustain any injury.”

Then, they didn’t say anything. Jiang Rui kissed her carefully and licked the tears running down her face. They soulfully kissed each other. But time always passed really fast in such an occasion. When the phone rang, Jiang Rui released Chen Chen.

“I’m leaving. Wait for me to come back!”

Chen Chen cried hard, out of breath. “OK… OK…”

In the living room, Ah Zi cried, and wore herself to sleep. Bear was staring at her face without a blink.

“Let’s go.” Jiang Rui opened the door, only to see Tuan Zi rushing out of the elevator.

“Dad!” She threw herself into Jiang Rui’s arms. “Take Hei Zi with you. It can help you!”

Hei Zi barked, “Woof!”

Jiang Rui kissed his daughter. “Okay!”

“When Dad is away, you have to stay with Mom and don’t let her worry too much.”

Tuan Zi nodded earnestly. “I will. You must come back soon!”

Chen Chen clung tightly to Jiang Rui’s clothing and refused to let him go. Jiang Rui was reluctant to force Chen Chen’s hand to part with his clothing. Finally, after Tuan Zi dragged Chen Chen home, Jiang Rui left without looking back.

For the first time, he was afraid. He was afraid that he would not be able to successfully save Scar, and that he could not stay alive and come back.

He was continuously anxious and worried until the plane landed on the island of the Wen’s family and Wen Pintang’s followers told him some news. He was indeed surprised to hear the news.

“Are you sure we can slip in that island underwater?”

Jiang Rui didn’t dare to be hopeful about that. Long Zhen’ao, who arrived earlier than him, said happily, “I have seen the pictures they took. In that way, we can definitely set our foot on the island.”

“That’s great!” Bear and Xiao Si swung their fists excitedly.

They had estimated the number of casualties before. Even if Long Zhen’ao led the way, it would not be possible to successfully land on the island without sacrificing anyone’s life, especially when they had to carry out the rescue. But now, all the problems were solved!

Among Wen Pintang’s followers, there was a young man named Wen Yu. He had been responsible for tracking Kutcher, and he had been making investigations in this area for more than half a year.

“The underwater cave was originally impassable. But a new route has been opened up probably because of the recent migration of sea turtles or large fishes. Wen Yu took out the map he drew and said, “We can enter here, and the exit should be at the south of the island.”

He glanced at Long Zhen’ao. “It’s up to him later.”

“Is he feeling well?” Jiang Rui asked Wan Qingsi.

Long Zhen’ao shrugged his shoulders and did not say a word.

“The bomb has been taken out of his body and placed in a bionic heart, so as to stop Kutcher from finding the truth.”

Jiang Rui nodded. “So, he can set his foot on the island openly.”

“Hey, hey!” Long Zhen’ao interrupted him with dissatisfaction. “What if Kutcher has already known that I had betrayed him? In that case, I’m going to seek my doom!”

Wan Qingsi looked at him. “That’s what you’re worth. Otherwise, why did we try so hard to save you?”

“Tut-tut, you’re so merciless!” Long Zhen’ao muttered.

They quickly made plans. The submarine was too big to go through the underground passage, so they could only dive over there by themselves.

After dark, everyone was ready.

“I’ll be waiting for you here. If you die, I will take your body back to Liuliu.” Wan Qingsi looked at Jiang Rui and said, “Or… Do you need me to go with you?”

Jiang Rui raised his eyebrow. “No, you can’t even conquer me.”

The two men suddenly quiet down, then reached out their fists and pounded on each other’s breast.

“Go ahead!” Wan Qingsi looked at him.

Jiang Rui turned and left.

A dozen people put on their diving suits and dived silently to the island underwater. Long Zhen’ao directly took a ship along with Wan Qingsi and others from the Wan family, who were dressed as the crew members. Finally, they stopped in front of the island.

“Hey!” Wan Qingsi suddenly stopped Long when he got off the boat.

Long Zhen’ao glanced at him with a questioning expression on his face.

“Be careful.” Wan Qingsi said expressionlessly.

“Oh! I will.”

When their ship entered the waters around the island, Kutcher had known it, standing at the dock and waiting for him.

“You actually come back.” Kutcher looked gloomy.

Long Zhen’ao said indifferently, “Didn’t you keep urging me to come back?”

“Why would you come back alone without bringing Jiang Rui’s daughter here?”

Long Zhen’ao ignored him and walked towards the base. Kutcher followed him, with a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

After entering the base, Kutcher stopped him. “Where are you going?”

“To see the hostages you have caught!” Long Zhen’ao smiled. “You have caught Scar, who was Jiang Rui’s partner, as well as Scar’s girlfriend. Do you think I don’t know that?”

Kutcher said angrily, “Since you could clearly know the news, why couldn’t you bring a child here?”

“Is she an ordinary child?” Long Zhen’ao said while walking far into the base.

“Do you want to see Scar?” Kutcher followed hard after him.

Long Zhen’ao glanced at him. “Can’t I?”

“I’ll lead you there.” After that, Kutcher asked, “Have you ever dealt with him?”

Long Zhen’ao nodded. “I have seen him twice, but I didn’t talk to him.”

After listening to him, Kutcher thought for a while and said, “I guess Jiang Rui has arrived, and he must be somewhere in the waters. You’re back just in time. I’ll leave Scar to you.”

Opening a heavy iron door, Long Zhen’ao saw that Scar was hanging with his hands in two iron hoops; his body was covered with blood and it was estimated that wounds were all over his body.

“Where is that woman?” Long Zhen’ao turned his back to Kutcher and clenched his fist.

Kutcher pointed to the small door nearby. “She’s there.”

Long Zhen’ao leaned forward and casually looked inside. “Wow, she looks pretty. Didn’t you have sex with her?”

Zhou Yiyun leaned against the corner, with her body being dirty. She looked pale and gaunt, but it was obvious that she didn’t suffer.

“Oh, Scar is a spoony man. Whoever dared to lay a finger on this woman, he would commit suicide like crazy.” Kutcher said angrily, “Bah, this woman is worthless, so if Scar is dead, Jiang Rui may not come to rescue her.”
