At four o'clock in the afternoon, heavy snow was flying in the city of Nanga.

The sun had set, and the sky was a pale grey.

At this moment, nearly three hours have passed since Xu Xinghe lost contact.

The northern s48 military airport is more than 90 kilometers away from Nanga City.

As soon as the silver-gray hatch opened, Ling Changfeng, wearing a military coat, strode out.

A subordinate immediately greeted him and reported as he walked: "Sir, we urgently called the s48 military airport according to your order, and at the same time ordered a temporary martial law at the major gates in the northern hemisphere, all goods leaving the capital star were unpacked for inspection, and the temporary ban will take effect. 24 hours, here are the relevant documents, please sign after approval."

Ling Changfeng glanced down and signed as he walked.

Then he turned to look at the captain of the local guard, Major Jonathan, 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 worked hard for decades. He was just promoted to major last year. He is obviously very uneasy and uneasy about the disappearance of the marshal's wife in his jurisdiction. The waist replied, but his voice was still a little trembling: "Report, report to the marshal, the subordinate has urgently dispatched additional staff to conduct investigations at the surrounding major gates! In addition, Mr. Xu's facial recognition and fingerprint information have also been recorded in the network-wide monitoring system. If you find it, I will report it to you immediately!"

Adjutant Qin followed behind Ling Changfeng, holding the office terminal and lowering his head to reply to the emails of various departments. Hearing this reply, he immediately thought to himself that it was not good.

Sure enough, Ling Changfeng frowned. He snapped, "Answer my question head-on, Major! Am I asking you about these mere solutions?"

Major Jonathan shuddered: "Report sir! No clues have been found yet. The subordinate has organized a comprehensive search and rescue, and must find Mr. Xu as soon as possible!"

Qin Yuan took two steps forward calmly, came to Ling Changfeng, and said in a low voice, "Sir, the confidential line and the temporary conference room have been prepared for you, let's go in and talk about it."

Ling Changfeng heard the words, turned his head with a cold face and instructed Jonathan, and then walked into the room with his adjutant.

After entering the room, Marshal Ling tore off the military coat on his shoulders, threw it on the chair, raised his head and said to Qin Yuan, "Report the information you have so far."

Deputy Qin stood at attention and said: "The place where Xinghe disappeared is an escape room in the suburbs of Nanga 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 is Ark's new intern, Gu Nai. This person was born in the Gamma galaxy Pelpa, was adopted at the age of fourteen, went to the Alpha galaxy, and went to Capital University for the postgraduate entrance examination two years ago. He just returned to Gamma Galaxy and is currently a graduate student at Capital University. He was recruited to Ark for an internship this summer, and the deputy general manager of the Personnel Department who arranged for him to enter Ark has resigned half a month ago, and he is nowhere to be seen. People from the Capital Security Service are doing all they can to find him."

Qin Yuan said this in one breath, paused slightly, and then continued: "Judging from the current situation, the possibility of Xu Xinghe being kidnapped by Gu Nai is much greater than the possibility that the two of them were accidentally kidnapped together. And this Gu Nai must have accomplices. This group of people can take a big living person to avoid all surveillance along the way and complete such a chain of kidnappings, indicating that there must be someone behind them, and this person—"

Qin Yuan raised his eyes and said sternly: "This person is most likely to come for you."

Ling Changfeng listened, but his expression didn't change. From the moment Xu Xinghe confirmed the loss of contact, his expression was as cold as a piece of ice, but at this moment he just said in a deep voice, "It's not unusual to come at me, as long as I'm here There will always be countless pairs of eyes staring around at the position.”

He got up and commanded: "The current priority is to find Xinghe as soon as possible, and then think about how to prevent this 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, and Marshal Ling said solemnly: "I will uproot them."

Since returning to the capital star from the frontier battlefield, Qin Yuan has rarely seen such a look on the face of his own officials, and can't help but be refreshed: "Yes!"

Ling Changfeng took two steps inside the room with his hands behind his back, like a grumpy lion.

He asked, "How's the vehicle inspection going?"

Qin Yuan replied: "People from the Intelligence Department are now tracking and retrieving the whereabouts of all vehicles that have left Nanga in the past three hours, but no suspicious vehicles have been found so far. Nanga is a city located in the extreme north. It is sparsely populated, and the suburbs have not achieved full coverage of surveillance, making it difficult to investigate.”

Ling Changfeng frowned and asked, "Have you received any threats or extortion emails?"

Qin Yuan sighed: "No, I haven't received any threats or extortion emails so far - this is not good news, it shows that the gangsters are not here for money. If this group of people is here for you, then they will definitely be there. The right time to ask for it.”

Ling Changfeng nodded: "No news at this stage is good news. The more long-term plans they have, the less likely they will hurt him easily."

After saying this, there was a moment of silence.

Qin Yuan took a deep breath and finally spoke up in silence: "Sir, I have to remind you that your temporary trip this time has not been reported by the Military Commission, and you have only brought about twenty people with you. The escort members are accompanying you, which is completely inconsistent with the travel safety guidelines of an officer of your level. In addition, you originally had two video conferences this afternoon, and the subordinate officer has already helped you to dismiss it, but the meeting with Marshal Ouyang tomorrow afternoon should not be pushed further. …”

Before he finished speaking, Ling Changfeng had already turned his head and cast his unhappy eyes on his adjutant.

Qin Yuan raised his head and calmly met the gaze of his own officials: "It is the duty of the lower officials to help you handle military affairs, and it is also the duty of the lower officials to say some harsh words. I can understand your current mood, but please also believe that, We have done our best so far to organize search and rescue... it will not help you if you spend it here, please return to Xingfu City as soon as possible."

After a pause, he said, "With Xinghe."

Ling Changfeng's thin lips pursed slightly, and he was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I see."

Then, at the moment when Qin Yuan was about to retire, he said again: "It's hard work."

Xu Xinghe sank a little while watching Gu Nai urging people to get the sleeping pills.

Events have been completely out of his control.

He knew that in the next few hours, he would fall asleep inside the container and lose consciousness.

But he didn't know where he would be and what kind of situation he would face when he opened his eyes again.

Will it stay on the capital star, or wake up on a completely unfamiliar planet?

Will it be successfully rescued, or will it fall completely into the enemy's hands?

Faced with a completely unknown fate, young people in their twenties inevitably feel fear, anxiety and panic.

Just in a panic, Ling Changfeng's face flashed in his mind involuntarily, and suddenly he was a little curious, what kind of mood would the man with natural pupils, the legal spouse in name, be feeling at this moment?

"If you tied me up to threaten Ling Changfeng, then you really tied the wrong person." Xu Xinghe said suddenly, with a blank expression: "My relationship with him is not that good, at most it can be called a respectful person. Trust me, with Ling Changfeng's unselfishness, I'm afraid he won't give you what you want."

Gu Nai curled the corners of his mouth, and a bit of mockery flashed in the black eyes behind the lens: "Such an unselfish person has already ordered martial law across the board. Is this how Marshal Ling's public and private are clearly manifested?"

Xu Xinghe was stunned for a while, and explained, "I am the nominal marshal's spouse after all. You have tied me directly in the capital star territory this time, how can it be considered his personal affairs? Even if my spouse is Mu Qingyun, he will not I would let such a blatant kidnapping go unnoticed."

After listening to Gu Nai, she shook her head, but she didn't plan to argue with him any more, she just said, "Team Leader Xu, I have to say, this is not a wise person's speech. You shouldn't stress that Ling Changfeng treats you at this time. On the contrary, you should reflect your own value. You know, if a meal ticket has no value, we will just tear it up.”

After a pause, he said, "Besides, who told you that we tied you up to..."

Gu Nai didn't finish a sentence, and suddenly consciously lost his words, so he quickly closed his voice and didn't say any more.

Xu Xinghe's heart moved.

What's the meaning? Didn't they tie themselves up to threaten Ling Changfeng?

Just as he was about to ask more questions, the door behind the flap was opened.

Following a few thumping footsteps, an indifferent man with scars crossed the barrier and walked in front of Xu Xinghe.

As soon as Xu Xinghe saw him, he stepped back subconsciously.

This scarred man seemed to be filled with a bloody aura, very like the desperado in the spy war 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 with a gloomy expression.

Gu Nai caught it, frowning even tighter: "This is..."

"Mute medicine, give him to take it." The scarred man said solemnly.

As soon as the words fell, Gu Nai and Xu Xinghe were stunned.

Gu Nai's face was not very good, and he seemed to have some kind of ominous premonition: "What do you mean? Do you want him to accompany him?"

"Yes. The plan has changed. Now that the border is under full martial law, I can't just pack him in a box and ship him out." The scarred man said, "Give him Steven's dick and eyeglasses, and also With a fingerprint cap, let him disguise himself as Steven and leave the airport with us directly."

Gu Nai's face changed completely when he heard the words.

The scarred man continued to command with an indifferent expression: "As for you and Steven, you should stay here first, and the master will find a way to send someone to meet you."

After Xu Xinghe heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.

Who is the "master" in this scarred man's mouth?

Also, did he mean to take Gu Nai and that unfortunate 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, who turned pale as expected, but did not refute, but asked through gritted teeth, "Is Steven still alive?"

The man with scars sneered: "I know why I asked. In fact, you should go with him, I have applied to the master, but the master loves you as a talent and won't let me do it. As for whether I can escape this disaster by staying here, see Create it."

With that said, "Goodwill" reminded: "Don't worry, the master will send someone to take care of your mother."

Gu Nai was silent for a while, then squeezed out the word "good".

Xu Xinghe lowered his head, thinking about it in his heart.

He knew that Gu Nai now enjoys the treatment of being wanted by the world, and cannot enter or leave the airport freely.

As for the men with scars, if they do not have a criminal record in the system, they can leave the airport generously as ordinary tourists.

They can even take things like pupil membranes and fingerprint sets at any time, and they have already made perfect preparations.

It's just that it's too risky to jump in like this.

Do these people think that as long as they take the dumb medicine and can't speak, they can follow them to the airport and go through security? ?

If you call for help when you arrive, aren't they afraid of being caught on the spot at the airport?

Thinking of this, Xu Xinghe's nervousness 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 was already thinking about how to call out to the outside world for help.

It must not be too obvious, otherwise, once these few desperadoes are anxious, they may really tear up the votes on the spot and die with themselves.

However, whenever there is a chance...

Just thinking about it, a pair of black leather boots suddenly appeared in front of him.

The next moment, Xu Xinghe felt a pain in his scalp, and was suddenly pulled up by someone's hair, and slammed off the iron wall behind him.

Xu Xinghe's hands and feet were tied, so he couldn't resist. With the sound of a bang, there was a sharp pain in the back, and Venus shot straight in front of him, and was almost torn apart by this fall.

"Hmm..." Xu Xinghe had almost never been treated so savagely before, he couldn't help but let out a pained cry, but immediately swallowed it back.

But before he could recover, his hair was pulled again, and he was forced to raise his head.

In front of him is the cruel and indifferent face of the scarred man: "As for you, don't take any chances. I hope you understand that I will be by your side the whole time, but if I find out what small actions you have made at the airport, it will be a big deal. Believe me, My knife must be faster than your rescue."
