Four hours passed and the rescue team had finally carved out a small tunnel, rescuing Zhao Yu with and his companions one by one with a rope. It was already late into the night, and when everyone returned to the cave again Zhao Yu felt like they wouldn’t be able to last much longer.
As they had received information about the bombs, once Zhao Yu and company were rescued, a professional bomb defusal squad went into the fortress to begin work on defusing them. Crawling out through the hole, the wind that blew still felt dense and humid even though the heavy rain from the night before had already stopped.
Out of the four people, only Li Jing and Zhao Yu had suffered heavier injuries, so the moment they reached the ground they were brought to an ambulance.
The rescue team was worried that the bomb had not been cleared properly, so they were quickly escorted to a safety zone after entering the vehicle.
Secret Services had initially requested for them to be sent to the hospital for a thorough check-up, but Li Jing insisted on staying on-site and described everything that had happened to them from beginning to end. She wanted everyone to return to their posts as soon as possible.
Although this was a fortress that had been sealed for ages, the mystery of the treasure had yet to be solved. Nobody knew what had become of the mysterious doll or the shocking treasure. What else would happen?
Whether it was Li Jing or Zhao Yu, or even Secret Services, they all knew the most important thing currently was to figure out the secret behind the Russian dolls. Thus, they had already arranged for people across the country to participate in this to crack the code, and they would work day and night to find a clue.
“I’m fine, I’m really fine…” Zhao Yu said as he lay in the ambulance. He forced himself to sit up on the stretcher in an attempt to prove to the medic that he was okay.
“Boss, stop fooling around!” Cui Lizhu said, immediately forcing Zhao Yu to lie down on the stretcher. The doctor had not dared to say anything. “This is no time to be forcing yourself! You have no idea how worried I was when you were unconscious. You even stopped breathing at some moments! I have been monitoring your pulse throughout!”
“Go to h*ll!” Zhao Yu shouted, pouting. “I thought you were just complaining earlier on that I was snoring too loudly? Lil Cui, how many times have I told you not to lie? You have to be a truthful person!”
“Come over here… over here…” someone said.
Just as Zhao Yu finished talking, he heard a loud scuffle outside the ambulance. Zhao Yu immediately heard Zhang Jingfeng and Wu Xiumin’s voices. It was undoubtedly the Special Investigations Team who had rushed over.
The door creaked open, but to his surprise, it wasn’t his colleagues who entered. It was Miao Ying!
“Miao… Miaomiao, what are you doing here?” Zhao Yu asked in surprise as he tried to sit up on the stretcher again.
“If I hadn’t come then you would have really gone to heaven!” Miao Ying said, rushing towards Zhao Yu and intentionally pushing Cui Lizhu aside. “You mischievous genius, I told you to wait two days for me, just two days! Then you could go ahead and create whatever mayhem you wanted. And you… you let me down again?” she asked, concerned.
“This…” Zhao Yu had no argument and froze for a bit before he weakly said “I didn’t want this to happen either! But it was a matter of utmost urgency. I was also forced onto a cliff, that’s why I had to do what I did to disrupt the enemy’s plans and return peace to this world!”
Hng… Cui Lizhu fake heaved.
Miao Ying had nothing to say and pinched Zhao Yu’s jaw, observing him carefully to see if he was actually conscious.
“Next time…” Zhao Yu declared. “I promise you, if something similar to this happens again, I will go over and discuss things with the bad guys so that they will execute their plans a little later. Then when you, Ms. Miao, get here, we can settle them together! Isn’t that such a great idea?”
“What the h*ll…?” Cui Lizhu was about to vomit.
“Aye!” Unexpectedly, Miao Ying could not care less about what Zhao Yu just said and raised both of her arms to lightly hold Zhao Yu. “I guess this is all fate!”
Although his whole body was aching in pain, Zhao Yu hugged his goddess contentedly. Seeing that the couple were having their moment, Cui Lizhu took her leave and pulled the dense doctor out of the ambulance.
“Anyway…” Miao Ying said with a smile as she hugged Zhao Yu. “I have already decided, next time, no matter what case it is, no matter how big or how small it is, I will not leave you so easily! Every time I leave you alone you go out and cause trouble!”
“Ah, if that’s the case then you have to watch me closely! Hehe…” Zhao Yu said. Miao Ying hugged him tighter and tighter until he couldn’t help but let out a groan. He had been shot by a fake model gun, and although the bullets were not deadly his body was still filled with aches and bruises. He had also been kicked and punched by numerous enemies, and although he had the Energy Booster active, he was unable to reduce the pain by much. The most painful thing was that his shoulder had been broken by someone, and although he had used multiple Invisible Bone Repair potions, his joints were still somehow affected.
“Alright!” Miao Ying said, sensing Zhao Yu’s pain and finally letting go of him. “Quick, tell me everything that happened!
“Rest assured, the Gao Lanqi case is finally closed. I am now back on the team and have the right to know the details of this case! I heard there were some new leads?”
“Yea…” Zhao Yu answered.
Miao Ying was right. Work was work and she had the right to know, so Zhao Yu slowly recounted the whole incident without leaving out a single detail. Of course, he left out all the details about him using the special tools.
The case was unusual and complicated, so Miao Ying listened with her heart pounding. When she heard that the fortress was armed with bombs, she was so anxious she cried out, “These enemies are so bad! They would rather destroy what they are unable to get than let us have it! We definitely can’t let them off easily!”
Eh… Zhao Yu thought in his heart that this phrase sounded familiar. It sounded exactly like something Li Jing had said…
Not to mention, the two of them did look pretty similar from certain angles. Although Li Jing did not look as strong as Miao Ying, skill-wise she was better than Miao Ying by a margin. Could it be, his father-in-law…?
“If that’s the case,” Miao Ying said urgently, “And we do not know when the bombs will explode, then won’t the bomb defusal squad be in danger?
“Are you sure those are timed bombs and not remote-controlled bombs?”
“Probably!” Zhao Yu answered. “Li Jing said that there is no reception in the cave, so chances of it being a remote-controlled bomb are pretty low. Relax! The bomb defusal squad are professionals, they’ll definitely be able to settle this.”
“That is so dangerous!” Miao Ying sighed. “If just one bomb causes the other bombs to ignite, even the mountain will be blown to bits!
“Zhao Yu…” Miao Ying said seriously as she held Zhao Yu’s hands. “Since it’s come to this, we should leak some fake news and say that there were unknown bombs found in the mountain!
“If the enemies know that you’re still alive…” Miao Ying frowned. “Then they may halt their plan and we may never catch them again!”
“Relax, I’ve already done that!” Zhao Yu said happily. He didn’t expect Miao Ying and him to have the exact same idea, although it was as to be expected of a power couple!
While the two of them were talking, Xiao Hang suddenly opened the doors and greeted them. “Officer Zhao, are you in good enough condition? Leader Li needs you to meet with her for a while.
“We have a couple of new friends that she thinks you should meet!”
