It’s a strangulation!
"First Company, heed orders, search carefully, and pay attention to the kidnappers!"
"Yes."
"Commander Yan Rong, escort the victim back to the military Rong Medical Department and deliver the mission." Xie Jingchen frowned, glancing disdainfully at a certain troublemaker wrapped up like a zongzi.
Originally, he thought it was just a simple rescue mission, but who knew it would eventually turn into a hostage situation.
Actually, it’s not surprising, given that a young woman, walking alone in the snow, would be a target for any ambitious man bold enough to capture her.
Nowadays, it’s not like the future where cameras or CCTV are routinely installed along the streets.
Not to mention it’s the second day of the New Year with a heavy snowstorm, streets won’t have many passersby. Even on a typical winter evening, by six or seven o’clock, most families would have hurried home to keep warm.
Lin Aihong’s rash actions could only be described as having her brain burned out, truly foolish.
But this criminal is really too stupid, daring to act so presumptuously in front of the military!
Xie Jingchen ordered the signal for a successful rescue to be launched into the sky, then personally saw Yan Jinchang lead doctors to attend to Rong in another Rong truck. He himself stayed in the cave to conduct a thorough check, quietly waiting for a report from the Hound Team.
With the help of the hounds and a clear scent, catching the criminal suspect would just be a matter of time.
Moreover, the First Company of his own Rong Department is full of excellent scouts; he believes the mission could be finished soon. He wonders if his little wife has returned to bed to sleep again?
As expected, in just nine and a half minutes, Hu Zhengjie was already escorting a man who looked like a peasant up the hill.
It turns out, the cave was not far from the perpetrator’s residence, just in a different direction.
This is Tongding Dam, the nearest spot to the military, with the hill sitting right between the military base and the village.
The suspect’s home is right above the hill, behind the cave.
Moreover, several Little Rong recognized the man.
"Report," one of the Little Rong stepped forward and saluted before shouting.
"Speak."
"I know him, he’s a relative of Lin Yingxia’s sister-in-law!"
With the three battalions of the Land Battle Group often hosting regular friendship matches, it’s common for the Little Rong to recognize the wives of the eighteen Deputy Commanders and Commanders, except for those who haven’t followed Rong!
Lin Yingxia’s wife, Zhu Yilai, was particularly infamous—cough cough, notorious.
Plus, over the past two years, this man had been regularly seen near the military base; it would be hard not to recognize him. Besides, a scout’s most valuable traits are a sharp memory and observational skills.
Though the guy in front of them wasn’t particularly remarkable looking, there was a small knife scar on his cheek—apparently an old wound, not fresh. But compared to the rest of his skin tone, it looked prominent and fierce.
Xie Jingchen didn’t return home until the early hours, finding the dim night light in the living room still softly glowing.
He quietly closed the door, first taking off his combat uniform that had practically turned to ice, then poured the hot water from two thermos flasks into a basin to quickly wash himself, before changing into clean clothes and quietly returning to the bedroom.
Zhang Shan Ni had actually woken up long ago; when the room door opened, she woke up. Her spiritual power scanned over him and, seeing he was unharmed, she continued to sleep.
With only two bottles of hot water, it was impossible to have a proper hot bath. He simply wiped down, after staying in the snow for hours, even with his warm combat uniform, his body was still frozen like ice.
"Sss—Brother Chen, you’re so cold!" Zhang Shan Ni complained dissatisfied..
It was also a punishment for herself. She hadn’t anticipated that he would need a warm bath when he came back. She only thought that he wouldn’t want to see her waiting with her big belly in the cold living room... So, after sending him off, she went back to bed.
Such details in married life, she wasn’t accustomed to yet, so she hadn’t managed them perfectly.
"Wife, stop, be careful not to catch a cold~~" Xie Jingchen wanted to embrace his little wife as well, but his body temperature was truly low.
"I won’t, I won’t catch a cold." You won’t either. Zhang Shan Ni shakes her head, buries her little head in his neck and complains, "Stop talking, let’s sleep quickly~"
When Zhang Shan Ni pressed her protruding belly against his abdomen, Xie Jingchen dared not move anymore.
This was an absolute weapon against violence!
"Wife!"
"Hehehe~~" freewёbnoνel.com
Zhang Shan Ni buried her face in his chest, giggling for a while before she obediently fell asleep...
