Chapter 443: Chapter 63: Gu Xiaoxi VS Kang Di 1

Gu Xiaoxi searched the entire base but didn’t see a trace of anyone.

She felt they shouldn’t have all left without even telling her.

"Yun Xiao!" Gu Xiaoxi shouted loudly.

When she reached the laundry pool, she saw Yun Xiao’s half-washed clothes and an anesthesia needle on the ground.

It was for use with a gun.

Gu Xiaoxi was terribly frightened.

"Yun Xiao!" Instinctively, she raised her volume and shouted again.

The only response was the whistling wind.

Gu Xiaoxi looked up to see several people lying outside the wire fence.

Without hesitation, she climbed over the wire netting and saw, amidst the shrubs, guards, patrolling soldiers, and hospital nurses all lying down.

In just a moment, her heart rose to her throat.

She extended her hand, trembling with fear, to check their breathing.

Thankfully, they were all still breathing.

Gu Xiaoxi checked their bodies and found that everyone had been tranquilized in the back.

It took Gu Xiaoxi a great deal of effort to carry more than twenty people back into the base.

About ten minutes passed, and these people gradually started waking up.

At first, they were all confused, not knowing what had happened.

"Why did you all faint outside the base? Where are the others?" Gu Xiaoxi grabbed a relatively more lucid male soldier and asked urgently.

She didn’t find Yun Xiao, Zhao Zilong, Duruo, or Che Junqing.

"I don’t know. I heard some noise and when I turned around everyone had fainted. Then, I passed out too," the soldier, clutching his groggy head, replied, clearly still affected by the anesthesia.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t think of anyone who would hold a grudge against Yun Xiao and the others and specifically come to capture them.

Even if it were Gu Feng and his people, they would come for her.

At the same time, Cheng Guang led his team to the ambush location.

However, the time for the ambush had long passed, and they hadn’t seen anyone.

He couldn’t help but call Dongqi Country to ask if there had been a mistake with the drug trafficking route of the criminal elements.

Cheng Guang made the call, and the military of Dongqi Country was just as bewildered.

"That’s impossible! The information was released by our undercover operative. It’s accurate intelligence. Kang Di still has half of the goods to move out, supposed to be at 7:30 a.m. Keep your ambush for another two hours, I’ll check if there was an error with the timing," Mo Wensheng said, also quite perplexed about the situation.

He contacted the undercover agent, who confirmed that the time was 7 a.m. and Kang Di had goods to move out.

It was already 8:30 a.m., so clearly the criminals were not going to show up.

But just then, Gu Xiaoxi’s call for help from the base reached Cheng Guang.

After hearing Gu Xiaoxi’s words, Cheng Guang became pensive, "Don’t panic, we’re heading back now. I will contact Dongqi Country to help search for people."

How could Gu Xiaoxi not panic when everyone had vanished in an instant?

After waiting two hours, Cheng Guang and the main force finally rushed back to the base.

Having surveyed the scene, Cheng Guang said with a serious expression, "This is definitely a case of malicious revenge."

"But the question is, who did it?" Gu Xiaoxi asked. She wasn’t very familiar with the local criminal forces.

Cheng Guang sat on the office chair, pulled out several files, and said to Gu Xiaoxi, "Dongqi Country has two major villains and ten small organizations. They control a large share of the drug market, human organ trade, and illegal smuggling activities. These years, our military of Liuli Country has been at odds with them. They view us as a thorn in their side and have provoked us numerous times!"

Cheng Guang pulled out two profiles from a pile of documents and placed them in front of Gu Xiaoxi, "These two are the leaders of the largest crime organizations, Kang Di and Bu Jia. Kang Di is cunning and inherently suspicious. Considering the way this operation was carried out, it seems a little like his doing. Don’t forget that because of you all, his last meticulously planned operation was completely ruined."

Gu Xiaoxi flipped through the files; Bu Jia, 46 years old, exceedingly cunning, had been reigning over Dongqi Country for more than a decade.

They had never been able to catch him.

"So, you’re saying it’s very likely that he came to take revenge on us?" Gu Xiaoxi felt that it made complete sense.

The amount of drugs they intercepted last time was enormous.

Kang Di’s losses must have been substantial.

"How can we contact him? I need to save everyone." Gu Xiaoxi stared at the photograph of the middle-aged man on the paper.

Since they still dared to take the initiative to provoke, ignoring their presence, it was truly time to give them a hit, treat them as if they were sick cats to be bullied.

"You need to be patient about this. If their sole purpose is to kidnap for ransom, they will certainly contact us. If Kang Di’s aim is to kill..." Cheng Guang’s complexion inevitably darkened at this point.

He didn’t finish, but Gu Xiaoxi knew.

If Kang Di aimed to kill, the odds were that Yun Xiao and the others were in grave danger.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately checked Kang Di’s profile to understand his past modus operandi, and then waited for Kang Di’s letter.

As expected, a night later, Kang Di sent someone to deliver a letter.

In the letter, he specified his wish to invite Gu Xiaoxi to visit him tomorrow morning, as for what for.

The letter didn’t say, but Gu Xiaoxi knew.

It seemed his target this time was her.

Only, at that time, she had locked her room door and closed the windows to sleep; they didn’t know she was in the sickbed in the corner, and that’s why they missed the chance to capture her.

In Cheng Guang’s office.

Gu Xiaoxi, dressed in military attire, stood before him and said, "I will go."

"Going alone is akin to seeking death! I disagree! This matter is clearly targeted at you, Yun Xiao, and Zhao Zilong," Cheng Guang said in a serious tone. Because they had all played an indispensable role in capturing Kang Di’s subordinates and intercepting the drugs.

"If I go, they still have a chance to live. If I don’t, they will all die. I have always liked to choose opportunities, and I would fight for a chance to save them," Gu Xiaoxi said resolutely.

"You can’t handle Kang Di by yourself," Cheng Guang asserted firmly.

Gu Xiaoxi was silent for a moment, then looked at Cheng Guang and countered, "What do you suggest?"

Her eyes were pure and clear, the light in them resolute.

Cheng Guang, looking at her, froze for a moment. What else could be done?

"Even though we are abroad, we have a group here. Everyone will stand by your side, and of course, we will face it together."

Gu Xiaoxi bowed her head, "But now, they only want me to go."

"Gu Xiaoxi. Through these incidents, I’ve realized you have some special abilities. I need you to ensure your safety. You can go, but you must take a tracker with you," Cheng Guang said as he took out a box from the drawer. Inside were two positioning capsules.

"With Kang Di’s cunning, if you go, you absolutely cannot bring anything. Swallow this capsule. As long as you don’t eat too much, it will stay in your stomach for three days. Once you’re at Kang Di’s, try to stall him as much as you can. We will coordinate with Dongqi Country to set up a trap and attempt to capture him all at once."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi reached out and took a tracking capsule from the box.

This device was very expensive, and she hadn’t expected it to turn up here.

It seems that Liuli Country places great importance on its friendship with Dongqi Country.

"I understand," Gu Xiaoxi said, clutching the capsule. Regardless,

she had to meet this Kang Di.

The next morning, Gu Xiaoxi left the military base alone and walked to a nearby village by herself.

Since Kang Di had not given her a specific location, she believed there would certainly be someone tracking her.

She followed the main road, walked past dusty driveways, and arrived at the edge of the village.

The scorching sun blazed overhead as villagers planted crops and farmers toiled away in the fields.

A group of children gathered under a large tree at the entrance of the village, playing with stones.

Just then, a dilapidated pickup truck stopped beside Gu Xiaoxi.

A dark-skinned man poked his head out of the window, smiling at her with a sinister grin, "Lady, need a ride?"

"No, I’m waiting for someone," Gu Xiaoxi replied, not wishing to stray too far from the base, too lazy to run and worried that Kang Di’s men wouldn’t be able to find her if she went too far.

"Hey, someone paid me to drive you into town. Are you sure you don’t want to go?" The man scanned Gu Xiaoxi from head to toe, his gaze lingering on her in a sleazy manner.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced around, her eyes narrowing with danger, "Who paid you to come pick me up and take me into town?"

"Don’t know, some stranger. I took the money, so if you want to go, let’s go. I’m not to blame if you don’t," the man gripped the steering wheel tighter, sensing the dangerous aura emanating from Gu Xiaoxi and quickly revealed his white teeth in a smile.

Gu Xiaoxi looked left and right, noticing no one on the secluded road.

In the end, she got into the vehicle.

Regardless, these people couldn’t trouble her.

And she wasn’t afraid to follow them.
