Mu Beiming hung up the phone and quickly contacted Shen Jingyu to inform him of the situation.
He Xiaoqing immediately expressed her desire to go to the Western Country and requested an expedited visa, asking if Mu Beiyao could help speed up the approval process. Throughout the conversation, He Xiaoqing never considered reporting her daughter missing. After all, handling such matters abroad would undoubtedly be extremely complicated. If she could directly exchange herself for her daughter, it wouldn’t be so troublesome.
It was clear that Lawrence was targeting her!
Mu Beiyao was also deeply concerned and decided to personally accompany He Xiaoqing to sort out the visa and flight arrangements. The two of them would go together.
So, the next day, while Shen Jingyu was still lying low and planning for his nighttime rescue mission, he received news that the two women were on their way. Although this disrupted his rhythm, Shen Jingyu had no intention of stopping He Xiaoqing from coming to rescue her daughter; that was simply not an option.
Moreover, with a resourceful and daring Mu Beiyao by He Xiaoqing's side, Shen Jingyu had to remain vigilant against He Xiaoqing, who was undoubtedly Zhan Ying’s biggest target.
In less than half a day, thanks to Mu Beiyao’s efforts, He Xiaoqing boarded a flight that evening. They would arrive in the Western Country by dawn.
Before leaving Shao Wen Manor, Shen Jingyu earnestly entrusted Shi Shaowen and Nan Gong Ye: "Brothers, please help me keep them from getting into trouble. Especially Aunt He; she is definitely Zhan Ying's main target this time."
Nan Gong Ye crossed his arms over his chest: "No problem! Your mother-in-law's safety is my priority! But are you sure you don’t want me to join you on this adventure?"
"That Lawrence’s manor is connected to a vast wilderness behind it; who knows what kind of traps might be hidden there! You don’t have jungle warfare experience. I’ll take a small team into the mountains while Shao Wen helps me on the outside. The chances of coming out through the front door are slim, but we still need to keep an eye on it. So I’ll leave A Ye with you!"
Nan Gong Ye pouted: "You’ve never been able to beat me since we were kids!"
"Don’t worry about outside; just make sure you stay safe!"
Shi Shaowen added with some concern: "I didn’t expect that Lawrence would actually be Zhan Ying. He’s only recently risen to prominence under this name. That place used to be a noble residence—easy to defend but hard to attack—so Lawrence must be quite confident."
"This might be your chance, but don’t act recklessly. Remember to keep in touch with us, okay?!"
Shen Jingyu nodded. He wasn’t one to rush into things and preferred teamwork, but when it came to certain matters, he had his own judgment.
As night fell, Shen Jingyu and his seven companions took a detour up the mountain and trekked toward the mountain connected to Lawrence Manor. The path was relatively quiet, and after an hour of trekking, they finally approached the manor.
This route had been meticulously studied by Shen Jingyu for a day and night; it was relatively safe. However, reaching the interior of the manor required navigating through a drainage pipe.
Luo Hao felt like he was going to faint from the stench inside. But seeing Shen Jingyu’s severe cleanliness issues—his expression unchanged—he dared not say anything more.
This was a rescue mission that mattered greatly to him!
Fortunately, this stinking stretch of road didn't require them to travel far, and they quietly crawled up at an outdoor drainage outlet.
In this courtyard, there were no surveillance devices, making it difficult for Shen Jingyu to locate Su Xing's room through any black technology. They had no choice but to break in. Without knowing how many guards were present, they could only approach cautiously.
Fortunately, in the entire villa, only one room on the second floor had its light on. It was easy to determine that Su Xing was there!
Shen Jingyu looked at the light not far away, spilling out from the window, and felt an increasing urge to get closer. After giving some quick commands to his subordinates, they swiftly infiltrated the main body of the villa.
Shen Jingyu's primary target was naturally that brightly lit room. However, he never expected that as soon as he pushed the door open, two fierce gazes shot toward him like daggers.
Then he saw two maids swiftly draw their weapons and step forward, immediately engaging in a fierce struggle with Shen Jingyu. Once he recognized their faces, he wasted no time and used lethal force.
As a wanted criminal, he could execute them on the spot! Out of the corner of his eye, Shen Jingyu noticed a woman still peacefully sleeping on the bed. Was she too relaxed?
Alongside Shen Jingyu were Luo Hao and Duan Yu; they easily dealt with the two maids. Shen Jingyu rushed over to check on Su Xing. He wondered if she had been drugged to sleep so soundly.
In reality, Su Xing had simply caught a cold from being out in the wind and was running a slight fever, making her a significant burden in their escape plan.
At this midnight hour, Su Xing felt like she might be going crazy from lack of sleep. In her drowsy state, she sensed someone shaking her?
As she groggily opened her eyes, she was surprised to see none other than Shen Jingyu—the very person she longed to see most. Although he wore a mask, Su Xing could still clearly see his eyes.
However, she furrowed her brows and rubbed her eyes; this must be a dream—how could he be here? Yet, the sounds of fighting nearby were all too clear.
“A Yu? You’re here!” Su Xing’s eyes sparkled with emotion as feelings she couldn’t contain began to swell within her.
But Shen Jingyu suddenly remarked, “Hmm, how can you still be sleeping in this situation? You really are a carefree woman!”
He hadn't slept a wink for three nights and two days!
"Is this really the time for you to lecture me?" Su Xing exclaimed.
He continued, "Star! Are you hurt anywhere? You've been through a lot these past few days; that would be more fitting for your character!"
When asked, Su Xing replied, "Actually, I haven't suffered much."
"Shall we go now?" Su Xing asked him, but as she sat up, Shen Jingyu pulled her into his arms.
In that moment of reunion, he felt his heart return to life. For the first time in three sleepless days, Shen Jingyu was acutely aware of his fatigue.
Su Xing couldn't help herself and held Shen Jingyu tightly.
However, when she looked up, she saw two men in combat uniforms staring at them intently. Was this embrace inappropriate?
"Brother-in-law, if not now, then when?" Luo Hao remarked. He had just noticed that one of the maids had been quick to send a warning to someone.
It wouldn't be long before a large group of pursuers would corner them here—like catching fish in a barrel.
Shen Jingyu remained silent and directly picked up Su Xing.
"Hey! I can put on my shoes myself; I'm not injured!" Su Xing protested. She couldn't be the one to hold them back!
As she finished putting on her shoes, she glanced outside and saw two women lying on the ground.
"You... killed them?"
"No," Luo Hao said awkwardly, trying to explain.
But Shen Jingyu interjected firmly, "They were wanted criminals; we had the authority to take them down."
Su Xing raised an eyebrow as if realizing something. Just as she was about to speak, gunfire erupted from downstairs.
The signal had just gone out!
Luo Hao immediately raised his weapon. "Brother Yu, take your sister-in-law! We'll cover you; let's regroup outside the mountain!"
