Chapter 1376 Yun Rui's sincerity: actively exchanging himself for Gu Yunqian
In the black van, Gu Yunxi was leaning against the cold door.
She was still wearing the gray prison uniform of the detention center. The loose cloth dangled on her thin body. The tape on her wrist from the IV drip had curled up, revealing the blue veins underneath.
There was no struggle, no crying, she just sat quietly, looking calmly at the street scene rapidly receding outside the window, as if she was not a hostage, but a passenger on an ordinary journey.
The man holding her was wearing a black hoodie and a mask, revealing only a pair of vigilant eyes. He would occasionally glance back at Gu Yunxi, as if surprised by her quietness. According to Shen Chengyu's explanation, the eldest daughter of the Gu family had a strong temper and would most likely resist violently, but the person before him was as docile as a tamed cat.
"Don't play tricks." The man finally couldn't help but speak, his voice hoarse and with a deliberately suppressed alertness, "Our people are all around, you can't get away."
Gu Yunxi didn't turn around, only letting out a soft, weak but clear "hmm." Her fingers unconsciously rubbed the hem of her prison uniform, her mind flashing back to the scene in the detention center ward half an hour earlier—Gu Yunqian had just been taken away by Shen Chengyu, the lingering sound of sirens still echoing in the corridor, and a doctor in a white coat pushed open the door, holding a forged "emergency referral form." The hint in his eyes was like a code, instantly deciphered by Gu Yunxi.
"Miss Gu, Mr. Shen wants to make a deal with you." The doctor lowered his voice to a whisper, and quietly slipped a piece of paper into her palm. "You go with him in exchange for Mr. Gu's safety."
Gu Yunxi unfolded the note, which contained only one line of scribbled words: "If you come with me and atone for their sins, I will be willing to move on."
She held the note in her hand, stroking the paper repeatedly with her fingertips, and the answer instantly came to her mind.
From the first time Shen Chengyu met Gu Yunqian, she knew that this man never wanted simple revenge, but the talents of their brother and sister - Gu Yunqian's computer skills and her chemical talent were all tools for him to realize his ambitions.
What he said about "giving Gu Yunqian a chance to live" was just a bait, but she was willing to take it.
She knew Gu Yunqian too well. The brother who had protected her since childhood, even if he was controlled by Shen Chengyu, he would definitely find a way to fight back. He would use his computer technology to find a breakthrough, and he might even have already laid a backup plan.
As long as she could temporarily stabilize Shen Chengyu's people and delay time, it would be the best help to her brother.
As for herself, she was confident - once she became the core, Shen Chengyu would never hurt her easily, and this was her biggest bargaining chip.
"I'll go with you." Gu Yunxi raised his head and looked at the doctor calmly, "But I have a condition. You must ensure my brother's safety and not use him to threaten anyone else."
The doctor was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting her to be so straightforward, and then nodded: "Mr. Shen agrees to your conditions. As long as you cooperate, Mr. Gu will be fine."
So, without resisting or disturbing anyone, Gu Yunxi followed the doctor out of the ward, crossed the corridor, and got into the van that had been waiting at the back door of the detention center.
She even deliberately slowed down her pace to give her brother more time to react, and prayed silently in her heart: Brother, don't worry about me, you will definitely find a way, and we will see each other again soon.
The scattered thoughts in Gu Yunxi's mind gradually gathered, and the van drove out of the city and headed towards the suburbs.
The scenery outside the car window changed from a bustling street to a desolate field, and finally stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse.
The man who was holding her opened the car door and gestured for her to "get out". Gu Yunxi obediently walked down. The cold wind instantly wrapped around her thin body, making her shiver uncontrollably.
The iron door of the warehouse was pushed open, and three men wearing black hoodies stood inside. One of them was holding a satellite phone and whispering something. Seeing Gu Yunxi come in, the man hung up the phone, walked over quickly, and looked her up and down: "Are you Gu Yunxi?"
Gu Yunxi nodded without saying anything.
"There's been an accident with Mr. Shen." The man's voice was cold. "Let's start Plan B now. We need to reach the high seas before dark. I remember the Gu family has some of their old members there, right?"
"What hasn't Gu Mingcheng done before? Maybe when the beautiful Miss Gu goes to the Golden Triangle, she can become the new generation of overlord!"
The Golden Triangle? Gu Yunxi's heart suddenly sank. Of course she knew that place—a world-renowned drug production area, chaotic, disorderly, rife with crime and violence, and also the easiest place for a chemical laboratory to hide.
Shen Chengyu's Plan B was to bring her to such a place and see what to do with her talent for chemistry. The answer was self-evident.
"What do you want me to do?" Gu Yunxi's voice was still calm, but his fingertips were quietly clenching the corner of his clothes.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask," the man said coldly. "All you need to know is, if you cooperate with us, you can live. If you don't, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
He said as he pulled a fresh set of clothes and a fake ID from his bag, "Change your clothes. We need to leave the UK as soon as possible. Interpol will find us here soon."
Gu Yunxi took the clothes and walked into a temporary compartment in the corner of the warehouse. As she changed her clothes, she quickly observed the warehouse environment - there were several sealed boxes stacked in the corner, with the "chemical reagent" logo printed on them;
There was a simple world map hanging on the wall, with the Golden Triangle circled in red; there was also a small satellite receiver, humming.
This was obviously the transit station that Shen Chengyu had prepared long ago. Every step of Plan B had been carefully planned.
After changing his clothes and coming out, Gu Yunxi saw the men destroying the traces in the warehouse - burning paper documents, wiping fingerprints, and putting items that might leave clues into black garbage bags.
Their movements were skillful and quick, obviously they had received professional training. Every detail was done with caution, for fear of leaving any traces that could lead to Interpol tracking.
"Alright, let's go." The leading man glanced at his watch. "The contact is nearby. We have to arrive within the hour."
Gu Yunxi was escorted out of the warehouse and into another SUV. The car sped along the desolate road. The sky outside the window gradually darkened, with only the headlights casting two bright streaks of light in the darkness.
Gu Yunxi leaned against the car window, looking at the darkness outside. There was no fear in her heart, only calm thinking - she knew that the Golden Triangle was Shen Chengyu's last retreat and her only chance.
As long as she could get there, as long as she had access to the lab, she would find a way to deliver the message or even...
At the same time, in the Interpol headquarters, Captain Mark was looking at the map with a frown on his face.
Miller just reported that the police officer who forged his identity has confessed. Shen Chengyu's Plan B is to take Gu Yunxi to the Golden Triangle and take advantage of the chaotic environment there to allow her to continue to improve the "Nightingale Project" and even sell the technology to local armed forces.
"Golden Triangle..." Mark's fingers tapped heavily on the Golden Triangle area on the map. "It's a no-man's land there. Our police force can't go deep into it. Moreover, the local armed forces are in collusion with the Nightingale Organization. It's extremely difficult to rescue Gu Yunxi."
