Chapter 212 - The Best Time Is Missed and a Serious Mistake Is Made (1/2)

Chen Yuanxi received a message from Captain Cao, with a video attached.

The video clearly showed that Gu Xi was tied to a reclining chair, above whom there was a huge acid-proof bag. The liquid in the bag occasionally dripped, which immediately made a tiny black burn on Gu Xi’s hand. Gu Xi frowned with pain and his forehead was full of sweat. A clock was tied to him, which showed there were four hours left! The whole message only said, “This is the address. Chen Yuanxi must come here alone to exchange Gu Xi. If I see anyone else, I’ll start the device immediately and Gu Xi will die at once!”

Gu Xi had grown up. His willow eyebrow looked like a new bud, which appeared in the frosty days, a wrong season, so that curled up pitifully. His cheek looked like the flower in the cold wind, pale and weak…

Chen Yuanxi was so anxious that his hands could not stop shaking. Unexpectedly, Gu Xi, who he had not seen for nearly eight years, fell into the hands of others and such a dangerous situation.

“There’s no way to negotiate. The sender’s mobile location is in the downtown area, but there’s no way to connect,” said Captain Cao.

Without saying anything, Zhao Yuan went to find Chen Wanxin and found that Zheng Kai was not at home and Chen Wanxin was not downstairs.

When he returned, Captain Cao and Chen Yuanxi were already in place. At the same time, he received a message from Zheng Kai, whose content was the same with what they received, but “Chen Yuanxi” was changed to “Zheng Kai”.

“This fool!” Chen Yuanxi could not help stamping his feet and said, “He must have sent me a message after he arrived there!”

After a while, Zheng Kai began to video chat with them. From the video, they could see that this was an abandoned oil pipe factory. The door was locked, and they could not see the situation inside.

“Zheng Kai! Stay out there! They want me!” Chen Yuanxi could not help roaring on the spot.

“Don’t come. I know who made it,” said Zheng Kai.

“You fool, stop! This is absolutely not what Wanxin can do alone!” Chen Yuanxi was almost mad with rage. Seeing his expression, Zhao Yuan and Zhang Dong could not help laughing together.

The video suddenly began to shake, then they only heard a groan, and there was no sound over there.

A group of people hurried to the oil pipe factory. Zhang Dong and Hong Xuan, because of their special identity, walked parallel to the team in a long distance. They were as strong and vigorous as the cheetah hunting in the dark, ready at any time. Once a criminal figure appeared, they would tear it up regardless of anything.

All the people hid two hundred meters away from the oil pipe factory, and two teams marched to the factory from different directions respectively.

Chen Yuanxi took the loudspeaker and tried to negotiate, but there was no response.

Several special fighters were hiding in a haystack in camouflage, including Zhao Yuan. But as an average citizen, he was not allowed to continue operations.

“What if they have guns!” A special fighter was very worried.

“If they have guns, would they think of such a stupid way?” Zhao Yuan said, “If they had guns, Zheng Kai and Yuan Xi would already have…”

After a while, both Zhao Yuan and that special fighter wanted to replace Chen Yuanxi.

“I know your brotherhood is deep. But, it’s our police’s business to replace the hostages! Don’t let me waste my manpower to keep watch on you. Don’t act without permission!” Captain Cao shouted at Zhao Yuan, who then suddenly quieted down and saw Chen Yuanxi slowly walking toward there with worry.

Several special fighters had been crawling slowly behind Chen Yuanxi, and the snipers had already been in place. But at present, the factory was quiet and there was no suspicious figure.

Chen Yuanxi walked very slowly. There was an hour left.

When he was tens of meters away from the factory, he saw the gate was open, and the one tied below the sulfuric acid was changed into Zheng Kai, while Gu Xi was tied by a rope to a pillar at the other side, struggling constantly.

Chen Yuanxi heard Gu Xi’s voice coming from across the night sky, which was particularly ferocious and shrill. The desperate call made Chen Yuanxi tremble in his heart. Gu Xi had been shouting to him, “Wenxi, Brother Kai, save Brother Kai!”

All of a sudden, an alarm at the gate of the factory buzzed.

This was a warning!

Captain Cao immediately asked people to stop approaching, and only Chen Yuanxi moved forward.

But Zhao Yuan could not care so much and rushed to Chen Yuanxi.

“Zhao Yuan, Captain Cao, if there is a camera at the gate of the factory, how far can it shoot?” Chen Yuanxi asked in a deep voice through the microphone.

“Cameras in factories like this can shoot as far as 30 meters,” said Captain Cao.
