At four o'clock in the afternoon, the city of Nanga was snowing heavily.
The sun had set and the sky was a pale gray.
At this moment, nearly three hours have passed since Xu Xinghe lost contact.
The S48 military airport in the north is more than 90 kilometers away from Nanjia City.
As soon as the silver-gray hatch opened, Ling Changfeng strode out wearing a military overcoat.
A subordinate immediately greeted him, and reported as he walked: "Sir, we have urgently called the S48 military airport according to your order, and at the same time ordered the temporary martial law at all major checkpoints in the northern hemisphere. All goods leaving Capital Star will be unpacked and inspected. 24 hours, here are the relevant documents, please sign after approval."
Ling Changfeng glanced down and signed while walking.
Then he turned his head and looked at Major Jonathan, the captain of the local guard who had been waiting for a long time: "Does anyone have any clues?"
Major Jonathan is a middle-aged officer with no ambitions. He has survived for decades and was just promoted to major last year. He is obviously very disturbed and uneasy about the disappearance of the marshal's wife in his jurisdiction. Although he is trying to straighten up now He replied back, but his voice was still a little trembling: "Report, report to the Marshal, the officials have urgently dispatched additional manpower to conduct investigations at the major checkpoints around! In addition, Mr. Xu's facial recognition and fingerprint information have also been entered into the entire network monitoring system. If you find it, I will report it to you immediately!"
Adjutant Qin followed behind Ling Changfeng, holding his office terminal and bowing his head to reply to the emails from various departments. Hearing this reply, he immediately said something bad in his heart.
Sure enough, Ling Changfeng frowned. He snapped and said, "Answer my question head-on, Major! Am I asking about your mere formal solutions?"
Major Jonathan trembled in fright: "Report sir! No clues have been found so far. The officer has organized a comprehensive search and rescue. We must find Mr. Xu as soon as possible!"
Qin Yuan walked two steps forward calmly, came to Ling Changfeng, and said in a low voice: "Sir, the confidential line and temporary meeting room have been prepared for you, let's go in and talk about it."
Hearing this, Ling Changfeng turned his head to give Jonathan a few words with a cold face, and then walked into the room with his adjutant.
After entering the room, Marshal Ling tore off the military overcoat on his shoulders, threw it on the chair, raised his head and said to Qin Yuan, "Report the information you have so far."
Adjutant Qin stood at attention and said: "The place where Xinghe disappeared is a secret escape room on the outskirts of Nanjia City. When the guards rushed in, the building was already empty, and only a few comatose Ark staff were found. They disappeared together with Xinghe. The person in question is Ark’s new intern, Gu Nai. This person was born in the Gamma galaxy Pelpa, was adopted at the age of fourteen, and went to the Alpha galaxy until he went to the Capital University for the postgraduate entrance examination two years ago. He just returned to the Gamma galaxy and is currently a graduate student at Capital University. This summer, he was exceptionally recruited into the Ark for an internship. The deputy general manager of the HR department who arranged for him to enter the Ark had resigned half a month ago, and he is nowhere to be found. Personnel from the Capital Security Bureau are doing their best to search for his whereabouts."
Qin Yuan said this in one breath, paused for a while, and then continued: "From the current situation, the possibility of Xu Xinghe being kidnapped by Gu Nai is much greater than the possibility of the two of them being kidnapped by accident together. And this Gu Nai must have accomplices, this group of people can lead a large living person to avoid all monitoring along the way, and complete such a series of kidnappings, it means that there must be someone behind them, and this person-"
Qin Yuan raised his eyes and said sternly, "This person probably came after you."
Ling Changfeng listened, but his expression didn't change. From the moment Xu Xinghe confirmed that he lost contact, his expression was as cold as a piece of ice. At this moment, he just said in a deep voice, "It's not unusual for me to come, as long as I'm here Every day in the position, there will always be countless pairs of eyes staring around."
He stood up and ordered: "The top priority at the moment is to find Xinghe as soon as possible, and then think about how to prevent this kind of thing from happening again in the future. As for the person behind this case, no matter who it is..."
A sharp cold light flashed in the different pupils, Marshal Ling said in a deep voice: "I will uproot them."
Ever since he returned to the capital star from the border battlefield, Qin Yuan has rarely seen such a look on the face of his parents, and he couldn't help but cheer up: "Yes!"
Ling Changfeng walked two steps indoors with his hands behind his back, like a violent lion.
He asked: "How is the vehicle inspection going?"
Qin Yuan replied: "People from the intelligence department are now tracking and retrieving the trajectories of all the vehicles that left Nanjia in the past three hours, but so far no suspicious vehicles have been found. Nanjia is located in the extreme north. It is sparsely populated, and the suburbs have not achieved full coverage of monitoring, so it is relatively difficult to investigate."
Ling Changfeng frowned, and asked again: "Have you received any threatening or blackmailing emails?"
Qin Yuan sighed: "No, I haven't received any threats or extortion emails - this is not good news, it means that the gangsters are not here for money. If this group of people is here for you, then they must be in the right place. time to make a request.”
Ling Changfeng nodded: "It's good news if there is no news at this stage. The more they have long-term plans, the less likely they will hurt him."
After saying this, there was a moment of silence.
Qin Yuan took a deep breath, and finally said in silence: "Sir, I have to remind you that your temporary trip has not been reported by the Military Commission, and you only brought a dozen or so people with you. The accompanying guards are completely inconsistent with the travel safety guidelines for officers of your level. In addition, you originally had two video conferences this afternoon, and the officer has already pushed them down for you, but it is not appropriate to postpone the meeting with Marshal Ouyang tomorrow afternoon …”
Before he finished speaking, Ling Changfeng turned his head and cast his displeased eyes on his adjutant.
Qin Yuan raised his head and met the gaze of his own senior officer calmly: "Helping you with military affairs is the duty of the subordinates, and it is also the duty of the subordinates to say some harsh words. I can understand your current mood, but please believe me, We have done our best so far to organize the search and rescue... It won't help if you waste your time here, please return to Floating Star City as soon as possible."
After a pause, he said again: "Together with Xinghe."
Ling Changfeng pursed his thin lips slightly, and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I see."
Then, at the moment when Qin Yuan was about to leave, he said again: "Thank you."
Seeing Gu Nai urging people to get sleeping pills, Xu Xinghe's heart sank a little.
The development of the situation has completely escaped his control.
He knew that in the next few hours, he would fall asleep in the container and lose consciousness.
But he didn't know where he would be and what situation he would face when he opened his eyes again.
Will he continue to stay on the capital planet, or wake up on a completely strange planet
Will it be rescued successfully, or will it fall into the enemy's hands completely
Facing a completely unknown fate, young people in their twenties inevitably feel fear, uneasiness and confusion.
Just in a panic, Ling Changfeng's face flashed involuntarily in his mind, and suddenly he was a little curious, what kind of mood would that man born with different pupils, his legal spouse in name, feel at this moment
"If you kidnapped me to threaten Ling Changfeng, then you really kidnapped the wrong person." Xu Xinghe said suddenly, expressionless: "My relationship with him is not very good, at most we can be called respectful Believe me, with Ling Changfeng's unselfishness, I'm afraid he won't give you what you want."
Gu Nai hooked the corners of his mouth, and a bit of mockery flashed in his black eyes behind the glasses: "Such a stern and selfless person has already ordered martial law across the board. Is this the manifestation of Marshal Ling's distinction between public and private?"
Xu Xinghe was stunned, and explained: "After all, I am the spouse of the marshal in name. You kidnapped me directly in the capital star territory this time, how can it be considered his private matter? Even if my spouse is still Mu Qingyun, he will not Will let such a blatant kidnapping go unnoticed."
After hearing this, Gu Nai shook his head, but he didn't intend to argue with him anymore, he just said: "Group Leader Xu, I have to say, this is not a smart person's speech. At this time, you shouldn't emphasize that Ling Changfeng treats you well. On the contrary, you should reflect your own value. You know, if a meal ticket is worthless, we will just tear it up."
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, who told you that we tied you up for..."
Gu Nai didn't finish a sentence, and suddenly felt that he had slipped his words, so he quickly stopped talking and didn't say any more.
Xu Xinghe's heart skipped a beat.
What's the meaning? Didn't they tie themselves up to threaten Ling Changfeng
Just as he was about to ask something more, the door behind the baffle was opened.
Following a few footsteps, a man with a scar with an indifferent expression stepped over the barrier and walked in front of Xu Xinghe.
When Xu Xinghe saw him, he subconsciously stepped back.
The man with the scar seemed to be filled with a bloody smell, like a desperado in a spy movie, which made people very uncomfortable.
Gu Nai frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here? Where are the sleeping pills?"
The scarred man threw a small bottle over with a gloomy expression.
As soon as Gu Nai caught it, he frowned even tighter: "This is..."
"Dumb medicine, give him to take it." The man with the scar said in a deep voice.
As soon as the words fell, Gu Nai and Xu Xinghe were both stunned.
Gu Nai's complexion was not very good, and he seemed to have some kind of ominous premonition: "What do you mean? Do you want him to accompany you?"
"Yes. The plan has changed. Martial law has been fully enforced at the checkpoint, so we can't just pack him in a box and transport him out." The man with the scar said, "Put Steven's penis and eyeglasses on him, and There are fingerprint sleeves, let him pretend to be Steven, and leave directly from the airport with us."
When Gu Nai heard this, his expression completely changed.
The man with the scar continued to order indifferently: "As for you and Steven, you stay here first, and the master will find a way to send someone to meet you."
After Xu Xinghe heard this, his eyes flickered slightly.
Who is the "master" that the man with the scar is talking about
Also, is he implying that he wants to treat Gu Nai and that unlucky man named Steven as abandoned children? If you stay at this time, there is a high probability that you will not be able to leave.
Xu Xinghe turned his head to look at Gu Nai. As expected, the latter's face was ashen, but he didn't say anything to refute. Instead, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Is Steven still alive?"
The man with the scar sneered coldly: "Ask the question knowingly. In fact, you should go to accompany him. I have applied to the master, but the master cherishes your talent and won't let me do it. As for whether you can escape this disaster by staying here, let's see." Make it happen."
Saying that, "Goodwill" reminded: "Don't worry, the master will send someone to take care of your mother."
Gu Nai was silent for a while, and squeezed out the word "OK".
Xu Xinghe lowered his head, thinking about it.
He knew that Gu Nai was now probably enjoying the treatment of being wanted worldwide, and could not freely enter and exit the airport.
And if the men with scars have no criminal record in the system, they can leave the country from the airport as ordinary tourists.
They can even get such things as pupil membranes and fingerprint sleeves at any time, and they have already made complete preparations.
It's just that it's too dangerous to venture forward like this.
Do these people think that as long as they take dumb pills and become speechless, they can obediently follow them to the airport security check?
If I just call for help at that time, aren't they afraid of being caught on the spot at the airport
Thinking of this, Xu Xinghe's nervous mood gradually calmed down, and he even saw a glimmer of hope again.
On the surface, he lowered his head silently, but in his heart he had already started to think about how to secretly call for help from the outside world.
It must not be too obvious, otherwise, if these desperadoes get anxious, they may really tear up their tickets on the spot and die with themselves.
But, given the chance...
Just thinking about it, a pair of black leather boots suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
The next moment, Xu Xinghe felt a pain in his scalp, and was suddenly pulled up by someone's hair, and flung him violently to the iron wall behind him.
Xu Xinghe's hands and feet were tied, and he couldn't resist at all. With a bang sound, there was a sharp pain from behind, and gold stars appeared in front of his eyes, and he was almost crushed by the fall.
"Hmm..." Xu Xinghe had never been treated so brutally before, he couldn't help letting out a cry of pain, but swallowed it back immediately.
But before he could recover, his hair was pulled again and he was forced to raise his head.
In front of you is the cruel and indifferent face of the man with the scar: "As for you, don't take any chances. I hope you understand that I will be with you the whole time. If I find out that you have made any small moves at the airport, it will be a big deal. Believe me, My knife must be faster than your rescue."
