For human traffickers to appear in the military camp was unthinkable. It was something more like an impossibility.
Wasn’t it equivalent to plucking out a tooth from a tiger’s mouth?
And the people who they kidnapped were female recruits.
Suddenly, Gu Qingjiu remembered Chen Haoyang cautioning them to be careful when they went to town yesterday.
Was he aware of something?
Gu Qingjiu thought back to Chen Haoyang’s reaction when she told him, and from it, it did not seem like he knew about the situation.
He seemed to have other reasons for saying that.
The journey was not that far. When He Niancheng and Gu Qingjiu arrived at Zone Two’s guard post, they were just in time to witness the soldiers stopping the van. Their expressions were as usual.
When the driver’s door of the van opened, they saw a man happily chatting with the rest. He had a packet of cigarettes in his hand and offered it to the soldiers.
The soldiers were all expressionless, unwilling to accept anything.
He Niancheng walked over and when the soldiers noticed him, they immediately turned around.
And greeted him in a synchronized salute.
“Commander He!”
“Commander He!”
Within a brief span of a month, no one in the camp was not aware of the newly arrived Commander He.
From what Gu Qingjiu saw, the man who was chatting with the soldier was the thin man from before. He looked like he was the leader of the group.
And when that thin man saw He Niancheng, although he remained smiling, his eyes showed obvious traces of worry.
He Niancheng did not bother being courteous to them.
With a glum expression, he walked over and pulled open the passenger door of the van in a single action.
That action caused the thin man to pale in shock. At the same time, a dark glint flashed across his eyes.
The van was a normal seven-seater vehicle.
The only difference was that the gap between the seats was slightly wider.
At first look, He Niancheng found nothing.
There were three men sitting in the back row. Their stocky build made the van look more cramped than it was.
The three of them had an indifferent expression. With similar skin tones, they looked like triplets.
There was another man sitting at the front.
Gu Qingjiu stretched her head forward. There was no female soldier in sight.
Just when she was wondering if she would be in the van’s boot, He Niancheng said in a frosty voice, “Move your legs aside!”
That one statement made Gu Qingjiu understand immediately.
She fixed her gaze at the spot below where the three stocky men were sitting on. In that dark area, a distinct color was vaguely visible.
How cunning!
If they placed her in the boot, it was easy for her to be discovered. But if they placed her below the seat, the chances of finding her were low even if one were to check the vehicle.
Chief Instructor was indeed sharp-eyed!
“Aiya, this officer. What’s the matter? Me and my pals are rushing for a banquet. Why are you stopping us all so suddenly?”
The man who attempted to get closer to the soldiers walked over with a smile.
He had a strong local accent when he talked.
He Niancheng did not turn around, but Gu Qingjiu saw the man approaching and something felt off.
Her sensitive perception reminded her to watch the edge of the sleeve of this man. She looked through it and suddenly a glint of silver flashed as he neared He Niancheng.
“Chief Instructor, in his hands…”
Before Gu Qingjiu could even complete her sentence, He Niancheng suddenly turned around and his long legs kicked at the approaching man with superb speed!
