Chapter 668: To Prioritize the Hostage’s Safety

After Xu Zhenyu hung up on Wen Xinya, he had indeed felt good for a while. However, he then thought about how a man like himself was being calculative with a girl! More importantly, his act of purposely calling her and then hanging up on her would definitely enrage her. Wen Xinya was a mini chili, yet he ate everything but spicy food.

Thinking of which, he took his phone embarrassingly, wanting to call back.

However, he also felt that he would lose face by doing it.

Just like this, Xu Zhenyu twisted and turned on the bed, and finally still couldn’t help but reach out and dial Wen Xinya’s number.

“Hi! The phone that you’ve dialed has already switched off. Please try again later.” As the icy-cold message rang in his ear, Xu Zhenyu couldn’t help but be stunned.

The hurried beeping sounds from the phone shook Xu Zhenyu awake as he ruthlessly threw the phone onto the bed. “Wen Xinya, you ungrateful girl. Didn’t I just hang up on you once? Do you need to switch off your phone to humiliate me like this…”

After venting like this for a while, he panicked. Would Wen Xinya that small chili really be angry at him!

Thinking of which, Xu Zhenyu made a few consecutive calls. “Little brat, I just won’t believe that you’ll keep your phone switched off and not answer my call.”

Such was making calls—the more one couldn’t get through, the more he wanted to call.

After about six consecutive calls, perspiration broke out on Xu Zhenyu’s face. Just as he caught his breath, his phone rang.

Xu Zhenyu grabbed his phone and picked up the call without even taking a look. “Hello, Wen…”

A male voice full of vigor came through. “Major, what’s wrong with your phone, how come I couldn’t get through?”

The cynical expression on Xu Zhenyu’s face instantly disappeared, replaced with a formal and serious look. “What’s the matter?”

This was Xiao Huang who had been sent over from the western district to assist him with the public violence case. Huang was a very outstanding detective soldier who was a pro at gathering intelligence.

Before this, he had been staying at the military headquarters in the capital city, assisting the related personnel of this case to track and analyze the whereabouts of those people.

Now that he called at this time, there must have been information regarding those people.

Without pursuing why he couldn’t get through Xu Zhenyu’s phone earlier, he hurriedly said, “We’ve found out that one of the extremists on the run was loitering near the Lan Feng Institute of the capital city at around 8 P.M. today.”

Xu Zhenyu looked at the time—it was already past 9:50 P.M. His heart jolted for no reason as a bad premonition arose in his heart. How could it be so coincidental—less than 20 minutes after he called Wen Xinya to remind her to watch out for these guys, he received the news that one of them appeared right around the Lan Feng Institute.

Those were dangerous extremists—schools, shopping centers, and other heavily populated areas were the best places for them to strike. Thinking about the crazy slashing incident on the streets in the western district, he couldn’t help but feel his goosebumps raise.

“Major, Major…” Xiao Huang felt anxious about not receiving his reply—it was a crucial period.

Xu Zhenyu hurriedly concealed his emotions and said, “Got it. Inform the military to track 500 meters around the Lan Feng Institute using the Global Positioning System and to inform us at the soonest if there’s anything amiss. Follow our plan previously, dress in casual clothes, and don’t alert anyone. Prioritize the safety of the crowds at all times.”

Xiao Huang heaved a sigh of relief. “Got it, Major!”

Xiao Huang and Xu Zhenyu had been from the same camp and had worked together on many occasions—he naturally trusted Major Xu. Furthermore, this Major Xu was truly capable—his mind was nimble and adaptable and he was always decisive in his dealings. Within merely two years, he had gone from being a fresh recruit to being promoted all the way to a Major, and everyone felt that he deserved it.

Xu Zhenyu hurriedly said, “You guys go ahead and investigate the situation first. I’ll be right over.”

After Xu Zhenyu hung up, with lightning speed, he put on black clothes that were good for hiding in the dark and checked his arms as well as ammunition…

He only took two minutes to get everything ready.

After Xu Zhenyu rushed to the area around the Lan Feng Institute, he contacted Xiao Huang. Xiao Huang was still investigating the situation nearby and still had yet to find out the whereabouts of those people.Visit on our NovelFull

Xu Zhenyu knew their habits very well. They would usually conceal their own tracks using chaotic places. Thus, after he contacted the military, he went directly to a small bar nearby.

It was 10 P.M. and the bar was still very active. Xu Zhenyu, looking unruly, strode into the bar. His handsome looks, coupled with a pair of charming eyes that were shaped like peach flowers, instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

Xu Zhenyu’s gaze casually scanned the bar and instantly locked down on the target!

If he was right, that was Ning Yuya.

Why would Ning Yuya appear at a bar near the Lan Feng Institute?

Was it related to Xinya?

Xu Zhenyu only felt slightly out of sorts. Recalling how he couldn’t get through to Wen Xinya’s phone no matter what just now, he felt increasingly uneasy. Xinya was never a petty person and wouldn’t really be angry, ignore him, and spite him by switching off her phone because he hung up on her.

At this point, he wished he could call Wen Xinya right now and see if her phone was still switched off.

However, he couldn’t because he was in the middle of a mission.

Any distracted action during a mission could possibly cause the mission to fail. It was the most basic quality of a military personnel to focus on a mission to completion.

Xiao Huang’s voice suddenly rang in his ear. “Major, we’ve found signs of fighting as well as huge amounts of blood traces in an alley 50 meters away from a small bar named Fang Yuan nearby. We’ve determined that the fight happened within the last twenty minutes.”

Xu Zhenyu’s heart instantly rose to his throat. Twenty minutes…

It was too coincidental. He also couldn’t get through to Wen Xinya’s phone within the last twenty minutes.

Xu Zhenyu turned and ran out of the bar, gritted his teeth, and ordered, “Immediately seize the woman in a black tank top at the left corner of the Fang Yuan bar. I suspect that she’s related to this incident.”

Following which he switched off his mike and rushed to the fighting scene.

The scene was being cornered off and professional case analysts had arrived.

Xu Zhenyu hurriedly asked, “What’s the conclusion?”

Xiao Huang was slightly puzzled about his anxiety, but just treated it as him being concerned about the progress of the case and reported truthfully. “After analysis, an intense fight happened here not long ago. We’ve found long hair of a woman who has been determined to be between sixteen and twenty-six-years-old. Additionally, we’ve found an ear stud at the scene.”

When Xu Zhenyu heard Xiao Huang’s reporting, his blood had already frozen. Now, seeing the evidence gathered from the scene, he felt as if he had fallen into a deep abyss—this was the red diamond ear stud that he had given Wen Xinya.

Xu Zhenyu’s voice was hoarse as he tried hard to remain calm. “Listen up. This assault case has already implicated a kidnapping case. I’m guessing that the kidnapped victim is the hot topic of the town, the eldest daughter of the Wen Family. Now that the other party is holding onto the hostage, our operation is hindered and will be even more difficult. Always remember by heart that in everything that we do, to prioritize the safety of the hostage.”
