"Wuwuwu~~~"
Mo Chenxue struggled desperately, but her consciousness was rapidly blurring. Just before she lost consciousness, she pressed the one-key alarm and one-key message she had set on her phone. The message was sent to Lin Zhao. A few seconds later, Mo Chenxue's phone dropped, and she went limp in the man's arms.
"Hurry up!"
Someone urged, "Be quick with your hands and feet. Just pretend she had too much to drink. Hurry downstairs, the car is ready."
"Got it!"
...
At the same time, Lin Zhao, who was pulling an arrow from his body on Xueyu Tianchi, received a message from Mo Chenxue: "Lin Zhao, by the time you receive this message, I should have run into trouble. Save me..."
Below was the location of Mo Chenxue's residence.
"!!!"
Lin Zhao logged off without a word. As he removed the gaming equipment from his body, he shouted, "Shen Xingchen, Chen Xue, Ding Chi Dajun, Mo Chenxue is in trouble. I'm going over there first!"
Saying that, he rushed downstairs and started his motorcycle. At this moment, it was faster than anything. Mo Chenxue's residence wasn't far. At Lin Zhao's maximum speed, he should arrive in about three minutes. But what could he do when he got there? So, Lin Zhao shouted to Shen Xingchen's bodyguards not far away, "Nangong Jilin, a friend of mine is in danger. Will you come with me to save her?"
"This..."
Nangong Jilin hesitated. His mission was to protect Shen Xingchen. How could he leave now? What if it was a diversionary tactic? After all, the Shen family had too many business rivals. If they wanted to threaten Shen Tiannan, kidnapping Shen Xingchen would be the most effective way. By using Shen Xingchen, they could short-sell the entire Shen Group!
"Forget it!"
Lin Zhao started his motorcycle, sped into the sky, and flew out. He couldn't care about anything else anymore!
...
The motorcycle sped through the night. In less than three minutes, it arrived at the apartment building where Mo Chenxue lived. As Lin Zhao stopped his motorcycle, he saw a logistics truck in front of him starting up. Several men seemed to be dragging a woman into the cargo box. One of them shouted, "Hurry, hurry! Before the police get here!"
"Go!"
The man in the passenger seat said in a deep voice, "Start it up quickly and go at full speed!"
"Got it!"
The truck accelerated, and Lin Zhao saw it clearly. He rode his motorcycle and charged forward.
"You're looking for death!"
The man in the passenger seat stuck his head out, holding a black-barreled handgun, and roared, "If you want to reincarnate, I'll grant your wish! Damn it, can't you see in the dark?!"
He couldn't let them get away, or Mo Chenxue might disappear from this world.
Lin Zhao didn't think and continued to accelerate his motorcycle. Suddenly, he tilted his body and rolled off the motorcycle. The accelerating magnetic levitation motorcycle crashed heavily into the truck. With a loud bang, it burrowed directly under the truck's chassis, sparks trailing. The truck was thus forcibly stuck, while Lin Zhao lay on the ground, covered in abrasions and bruises, in excruciating pain.
"Hero saving the damsel?!"
Two men got out of the car. One walked forward and pointed the muzzle of his gun at Lin Zhao's forehead, sneering, "Do you want me to grant your wish?"
"Third Brother!"
The other man frowned, "Knock him out and throw him aside. Hurry and drag the motorcycle out. Let's go!"
"Okay!"
As a result, just as the man raised his hand, Lin Zhao's head moved horizontally at lightning speed. At the same time, he firmly gripped the opponent's wrist with both hands, directly pinning him to the ground. He kicked him hard in the abdomen, snatched the handgun, and struck the opponent's temple with the magazine, knocking him out.
"Tsk, impressive!"
The other man sneered, "Seizing a gun and killing someone?!"
Saying that, he lightly shook his arm, and a piece of metal fixed at his elbow rapidly spread throughout his body, instantly dressing him in a complete set of individual combat armor. Almost his entire body was protected by the armor, with a bulletproof shield over his head. He raised his hand and pulled a rifle from behind his back, sneering, "Do you really want to die?"
Instantly, a chill ran down Lin Zhao's spine. He had underestimated the madness of these people. To kidnap Mo Chenxue, they had actually used the legendary individual combat armor system. This system was very expensive and offered both offense and defense. Let alone having only a handgun, even if he had a more powerful rifle, it would probably be useless.
"You..."
He slowly got up and said, "Let Lin Xueqiong go!"
"You actually know her!"
The man sneered, "Saving the damsel is no good, but you can die a quick death."
Saying that, he aimed his rifle at Lin Zhao.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Lin Zhao had already closed his eyes and waited for death. He had been careless and would have to pay for his recklessness. However, to die like this was truly unwilling!
However, after the gunshot, he was unharmed. When he opened his eyes, a figure also wearing an individual combat armor system stood in front of him. His left arm had formed a shield to block the shot. To his right, a magnetic levitation motorcycle slid out onto the road. It was her ride. To save Lin Zhao, she had directly activated the combat armor on her ride. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a distant building and exploded.
"A Xue?"
Lin Zhao looked at her back. Her hair color, he recognized her.
"You..."
Chen Xue didn't turn around and said with a smile, "Let's talk after the fight~~~~"
"Be careful!"
"Don't worry!"
Chen Xue lowered her body and charged forward with her shield. She slammed heavily into the opponent's body. Although her physique was petite, the impact was powerful. She instantly sent the opponent tumbling to the ground, then stomped heavily on the man's arm, crushing his armor control system. The nano-armor system immediately began to retract. The man's arm bones were shattered, and he cried out in agony.
A fatal blow. Chen Xue's control over the individual combat armor was far superior to the opponent's.
"Damn it!"
Several more people jumped out of the car, cursing.
Chen Xue frowned, lowered her body, and with several "peng peng peng" sounds, the men who had gotten out were all violently thrown away. Chen Xue looked up at the man in the driver's seat and said, "Are you coming down yourself?"
"I... I..."
The man got out of the car and was knocked unconscious by a sudden punch from Chen Xue.
...
"..."
Lin Zhao was stunned. He hadn't expected Chen Xue to have such a heroic side. This also confirmed her previous experience. Before being injured, she was indeed one of the special forces members defending China's maritime borders, and she must have been a very formidable one.
Behind them, the roar of an engine could be heard. Shen Xingchen had arrived by car.
As she stepped out of the car, four bodyguards in Emperor Yan-class individual combat armor accompanied her. Their shields were already deployed, ready to block bullets for the young lady. Nangong Jilin, also wearing an Emperor Yan-class armor, walked to Lin Zhao's side and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm a little late. I had duties to attend to. I'm truly... sorry..."
"It's okay, it's good that you came," Lin Zhao said. "A Xue, go check on Lin Xueqiong. She should be in the back of the truck."
"Mhm."
Chen Xue walked over and, a moment later, carried the unconscious Mo Chenxue down from the truck. Mo Chenxue was only wearing pajamas and was still unconscious.
Just then, police cars finally appeared in sight.
A police officer got out of the car and saw Shen Xingchen. He immediately nodded respectfully, "It's Miss Shen. What are you doing here so late?"
Shen Xingchen pointed to Mo Chenxue and said, "My friend was kidnapped from her residence. Now that the perpetrators have been apprehended, please continue the investigation until the mastermind is found. Arrest those who should be arrested, and punish those who should be punished, strictly according to the Constitution of China."
"Yes, we will certainly comply!"
...
"A Xue."
Lin Zhao frowned, "Send Lin Xueqiong back to the studio first. Prepare a room for her."
"Mhm~~~"
The night wind was a bit cold, and Shen Xingchen was dressed rather thinly. She glanced at Lin Zhao, her cheeks, the backs of her hands, and her ankles all bearing scratches. Her clothes were severely worn and stained with blood. She couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. "Why were you so impulsive? Just wait for me, wait for Chen Xue, and you wouldn't have been injured. Do you really think you're an eighth-level martial artist from Xueyu Tianchi?"
Lin Zhao scratched his head. "Xingchen, don't tease me. The situation was too urgent. I thought... the faster, the better. If I had been a moment later, that car would have turned onto the main road, and we would have had no idea where Mo Chenxue went. It's a matter of life and death. What are these minor injuries to me..."
"You..."
Shen Xingchen knitted her brows. "Nangong Jilin, do you have any medicine?"
"Yes, in the RV."
"Let's go back and get some medicine for Lin Zhao."
"Yes!"
...
The studio.
In the second-floor hall, Chen Xue was disinfecting and bandaging Lin Zhao's wounds. Lin Zhao yelped in pain, "Damn it, be gentle, be gentle! A Xue, are you butchering a pig?! Damn it..."
"Is that all you've got?" Chen Xue said irritably.
Shen Xingchen smiled faintly from the side, while Roman frowned, looking very concerned for her brother.
"How is Mo Chenxue?" Lin Zhao asked.
"Still asleep."
Chen Xue said, "That medicine is quite strong. She might sleep until tomorrow."
"Mhm, got it."
Lin Zhao took a deep breath and looked at Shen Xingchen. "If this case is thoroughly investigated, can we really expose that scumbag, Ghost King Jiang Chong?"
"Difficult."
Shen Xingchen shook her head. "Firstly, if Jiang Chong didn't commit the crime personally, we have no direct evidence. Secondly, Jiang Chong is rich, and the group behind him is also rich. If they bribe the police a little, this matter can probably be swept under the rug. In such a situation, I can't just throw money at them, can I? It's not very meaningful. Even if we throw money, it will only result in a lighter sentence."
"I see..."
Lin Zhao took a deep breath and looked at Ding Chi and Zhang Jun. "I'm fine. Let's put this matter aside for now. Mo Chenxue will live in the studio from now on. She'll be safer here."
"Mhm!"
Everyone nodded in unison.
"A Xue!"
Lin Zhao stood up and said, "Come with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."
"Oh?"
Chen Xue followed Lin Zhao into Chen Xue's room.
...
Shen Xingchen glanced over, feeling a faint hint of displeasure. Both of them were vice-leaders, so why was Lin Zhao only calling Chen Xue and not her? She frowned and said, "Let's all log in. Everyone go about their business. I've left a note for Mo Chenxue. She'll find us when she wakes up."
"Mhm!"
