As soon as the communicator was switched on, Lu Xingzhi said with a smug tone, “Zhou Junmin, do you hear me? The drill is completed. We will start the Shun Zi project in half an hour.”
Zhou Junmin had been injured during the previous mission and had delayed his time to attend the closed-door training, He had not participated in the previous drill. One could say that Zhou Junmin was Lu Xingzhi’s right-hand man. The two of them had known each other for many years. Lu Xingzhi

Normally, Zhou Junmin, a chatterbox, would praise Lu Xingzhi excitedly. However, Lu Xingzhi could sense that Zhou Junmin was not in the right mood by listening to his breathing.
“The situation has changed?”
Lu Xingzhi frowned, obviously dissatisfied with that guess.
“Colonel, your wife has been kidnapped. We have been trying to contact you for a long time. Colonel, you need to withdraw from the drill and return to the city immediately,” Zhao Junmin said. “It has been a long time, so we don’t know the current situation. Colonel, you need to contact the headquarters
immediately. They should—”
Before Zhou Junmin could finish his sentence, Lu Xingzhi had already hung up the phone.
As he called for the people behind him to quickly change their plans, he quickened his pace and headed toward his next-in-command.
Compared to Jiang Yao’s kidnapping, Lu Xingzhi would rather hear the news of his team being wiped out in the drill.
He did not hesitate—nothing was more important than Jiang Yao.

As the commissar had said, the factory was no longer as prosperous as it used to be. The dormitory was also tightly shut at that time. There were
only a few rooms in the entire building that still had some belongings like clothes.
Compared to the past, even if the building was empty, it had more things than that.
After the car drove past the factory entrance, it quickly disappeared into the darkness. Then, the group of people from the car promptly hid in all directions. Some of them were in the hills, some of them were in the midst of various people or objects.
After Jiang Yao hung up the phone, someone pushed her to the back. In her line of sight, she saw a person leave that place quickly. That person got into a car and drove to an unknown place. After he left, someone brought dinner for her and Chu Sheng.
“Chu Sheng, don’t eat tonight’s dinner. Hold on for a while. If you eat it, if Chen Xuyao takes action tonight, we might not be able to take you with us as easily. You might fall into the enemies’ hands and be used to threaten us.”
After Jiang Yao advised her, she picked up the bowl and looked at the rice. There were sleeping pills in the rice. One could not take those pills so often. When she first arrived in the room, she noticed that the kidnappers had fed Chu Seng many sleeping pills.
Even though sleeping pills were not fatal, there were many side effects if one took too many. Long-term usage might also cause significant harm to one’s body.
Chen Xuyao was an intelligent man. He should understand what Jiang Yao had been trying to tell him that night..
