The Taming of the Ruffian Hero - Chapter 212 - The Best Time Is Missed and a Serious Mistake Is Made

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.

Chen Yuanxi stopped approaching, and was about 20 meters away from the door. He could clearly see Zheng Kai, whose mouth was covered, was struggling fiercely in his chair. Zheng Kai stared at him and seemed to shake his head constantly. “The fool!”

Captain Cao quickly made a rescue plan. Chen Yuanxi kept shouting with his loudspeaker as he approached to puzzle the other side. Within five minutes, the special fighters would break into the factory from the dead zone of camera on both sides, covered Zheng Kai with the prepared glass cover, and transferred Zheng Kai and Gu Xi safely. At the same time, the safety expert detected the output location of the video signal, and another team was on standby outside the factory, ready to start to catch the suspect!

When Captain Cao was about to give orders, Chen Yuanxi suddenly interrupted him and said, “No. It’s remotely controlled by the suspect! Once we break into, the suspect will leave! I’ll buy time! There’s still time! Let the experts detect the control signal first!”

“Wenxi, our first task is to ensure the safety of the hostages!! I’ll give you five minutes at most!” Captain Cao ordered.

“Don’t come!” Chen Yuanxi suddenly took two steps forward, closer to the factory. “If you get closer to me and appear in the range of the camera, Zheng Kai and Gu Xi will be dangerous!”

Hearing that, they had to stay away from Chen Yuanxi and wait.

“Did you find out?” Chen Yuanxi asked in the microphone, “Have security experts detected it?”

Chen Yuanxi said as he pretended to fall and slowly stood up, and the alarm rang again.

“Captain Cao, order! It’s important to save people first!” Seeing that Zheng Kai was out of strength, Zhao Yuan could not help but feel anxious. But he saw Chen Yuanxi staring at him coldly.

“These must be done by Luo Yang! Only Luo Yang is caught can Mo Qian be sentenced! Zhao Yuan, Luo Yang killed your father and my father! We must catch him!” Chen Yuanxi said coldly, “Captain Cao, do you want to avenge your comrade Lin Ziwei?”

“Wenxi, they are A’Kai and Gu Xi!” Zhao Yuan could not help shouting.

“There’s still time. There’s still time!” Chen Yuanxi said, “How are things going on, security experts?” Zheng Kai was obviously only slightly hurt. Chen Yuanxi was sure that Chen Wanxin would not hurt Zheng Kai and what she wanted was him from the beginning to the end. So long as he was not too close to the door, there was still time for everything! Besides, Zhao Yuan and Zhang Dong were here. Chen Yuanxi believed that even if something happened, Zheng Kai could still be saved.

As time passed, Chen Yuanxi raised his hands and moved slowly forward. Gu Xi’s crying became louder and louder. Sometimes, he asked Chen Yuanxi not to approach them. Sometimes, he asked Chen Yuanxi to help Zheng Kai. He was almost in a state of madness.

“Captain Cao! Save the hostages!” Zhao Yuan could not bear the scene of sulfuric acid dripping on Zheng Kai. He rushed to Captain Cao and grasped his wrist, saying, “Justice has long arms. Luo Yang can’t escape! Don’t wait until it’s too late to save them!”

When Captain Cao was about to order, he suddenly found that the bag seemed to crack and several large drops of sulfuric acid dripped on Zheng Kai’s chest, who frowned with pain and clenched his teeth.

Seeing that the sulfuric acid was dripping faster and faster, as if the big raindrops before the storm, Gu Xi suddenly got rid of the rope.

“Gu Xi!” Chen Yuanxi exclaimed, and saw the figure in front of him resolutely lie on Zheng Kai’s body.

What made Chen Yuanxi more grieved was that the bag suddenly broke and large drops of sulfuric acid fell down. Gu Xi could not stand the pain and cried out.

All of them were stunned by this sudden change. Chen Yuanxi even shouted through the headset, “Help, help!”

Captain Cao ordered special fighters to assault, but it seemed too late. If the suspect opened the bag by remote control, the two hostages below would not survive. He should have ordered earlier, so that the commandos would have a great chance to quickly protect Zheng Kai with the glass cover.

“Gu Xi…” Zheng Kai shouted in a trembling voice, “Gu Xi! Go away… It doesn’t hurt me. Gu Xi…” Zheng Kai even twisted, trying to shake off Gu Xi.

Gu Xi, lying on him, firmly grasped the stool and whimpered. Suddenly, he smiled and said, “Brother Kai, I haven’t seen you for a long time… unexpectedly, you still only care about others…”

A lot of sulfuric acids suddenly fell on Gu Xi’s face. Gu Xi screamed several times, and gripped Zheng Kai firmly, motionless and unconscious.

Zheng Kai looked at Gu Xi at a close distance. He saw his white face suddenly turned yellow and then black. He had never seen such a horrible scene in his whole life. It seemed that a cruel makeup artist severely cut Gu Xi’s mouth and then injected blood into the body with a soldering iron.

He was destroyed.

Zheng Kai knew that, in order to protect him, the clean and white Gu Xi, who he had not seen for more than seven years, was destroyed as soon as they met seven years later.

Two vigorous figures burst in from the side, and saw two wet boards, under which Gu Xi was pinned, had been burned black everywhere. The two men tried to move the stool, only to find that the stool was welded to the ground. Then they quickly took off their coats, covered them on the boards, and cut the rope tied to Zheng Kai with sharp knives.

Zheng Kai held Gu Xi in his arms, turned over and tried to throw themselves to the ground, but they were pulled apart by the two men. Only Gu Xi was still lying on the ground, life uncertain. The sulfuric acid dripped on the stool and sputtered on Gu Xi’s motionless hands. Gu Xi seemed to have no breath at all.

At the same time, the commandos also successfully leaped in through the window. They caught the residual liquid with a glass cover and isolated all the people from it.

When the crowd responded, the two people who had previously broken in had already stepped out of the window and disappeared.
