Be brave when you are weak

Zhao Kun was still in front of the screen of the surveillance video, searching hard.

Hall...... In the corridor, according to Zhao Xie's request, the hotel called one picture after another, and continued to track them, and it could be seen that Su Yan returned to the hotel in despair, and more than two hours later, they went out of the room again.

Could it be that for more than two hours, Su Yan didn't think about contacting him?

Zhao Xie realized that it was when he was on a military transport plane, crossing the clouds. Looking at the situation on the video, it can be basically determined that by this time, the two people are still safe. Seeing how they looked, they didn't plan to go far, they were all dressed very simply, they should just go around in front of them.

But according to the hotel, the two Longguo girls never returned. This is also confirmed by surveillance.

By now, the two have been missing for more than twenty hours.

"Didn't you say that someone helped the two of them leave the room?" Zhao Xie tried to suppress the anxiety in his heart, and gave instructions to the lazy staff: "Jump the picture there directly." ”

The picture enlarged little by little, Zhao Kun took out a special military mobile phone, and simply swiped it at the screen, and the picture was transmitted synchronously. He immediately dialed the phone and said quickly: "Colonel, within twenty hours' drive of Jager City and all the surrounding cities, help me find these two people, and make sure you find them!"

"Twenty hours, that's enough to drive Tassie!"

"Then search the whole territory of Tassi!" Zhao Xie did not hesitate: "Twenty-four hours ago, you have already helped me to strictly investigate at the border." They were then abducted, and since both men had diplomatic status, it was impossible for the kidnappers to take them out of the country quietly. ”

"I'll arrange it immediately," the old friend on the other side of the phone was a little worried: "Zhao, there is no definite evidence that it is a kidnapping, don't be too nervous first." ”

How could you not be nervous! Zhao Xie didn't say much, hung up the phone, and stared at the screen with a cold face.

A tall local man wearing a hat was carrying the red suitcase that Xu Ningran had pulled into the hotel. He still had the passports of Ning Ran and Su Yan in his hands, and was checking out.

Not far behind him, a short yellow man who looked around and seemed to have nothing to do with this matter caught Zhao Xie's attention.

Zhao Kun has received special training, as long as he has seen the face once, he will never forget it.

The face gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but it didn't exactly coincide with any of the ones he remembered.

He must have seen this man! Even if he didn't know what the occasion was, he had a gut feeling that it wasn't a good thing.

At the same time, in a high-rise duplex house near the river in K City, Lu Tao patiently held up the phone, waiting for this matter, which had not made him so anxious for a long time.

"I'm sorry!" On the phone, the voice of the Jager City police sounded weak: "The number you provided was turned off two hours ago. The last signal was near Omonia, where there was a strike march and thousands of people gathered, and we couldn't be sure if the owner was inside. ”

After a moment's hesitation, the other party continued: "Some witnesses said that there were gunshots in the nearby alleys, and there were traces of ******. ”

Realizing that the other party could no longer provide any useful information, Lu Tao hung up the phone. He heard his own breathing, a terrible mess in the silence.

Standing still for a moment, he strode to the window, opened the built-in closet with a "bang", and reached inside.

In the delicate wooden box placed on the bottom layer, he took out a handful of black, shiny, and well-maintained ********.

Lu Tao gently touched the cold body of the gun with his fingertips, as if caressing the delicate skin of his lover, and pulled the bolt with a "click", carefully inspecting every part of the pistol. The moment he held the gun in his hand, this merry boy with peach blossom eyes suddenly turned into a cold, resolute soldier, full of slaughter, like a vigorous beast lurking in the jungle.

After the inspection, he hid the pistol and the magazine in a wide coat, took out his passport, and put two special documents in his pocket, Lu Tao picked up the car keys, stepped down the stairs in a few big steps, and walked out the door.

"Stop!" suddenly sounded behind his father's majestic voice.

Lu Tao stopped his steps, but did not immediately turn back.

"What are you going to do?" said his father, walking slowly and majestically from his study, on crutches.

Lu Tao hesitated for a moment, and said calmly: "My comrade-in-arms has something, let me go over and help take a look, and go back when I go." ”

"Nonsense!" the father sneered, "Do you really think we don't know anything?

Lu Tao's pupils contracted violently, obviously taken aback, but he quickly calmed down and said, "I knew earlier, I don't have to lie so much." ”

"If you lie, it means that you still have a sense of proportion, and you know that you can't do anything with her!" the father's tone was cold, like any conversation with his family.

"As a man, you want to play outside, and we don't bother to care about you. But what are you going to do now? Rush out and save the beauty? You're dizzy!"

His father was a ruthless person, and Lu Tao had long known that it was normal to hear his father's cold words at home, but there had never been a time when he felt heartfelt disgust like today.

He held back his emotions and said, "My friend is in some trouble, I'll go and do a favor and solve it." ”

"A little trouble?" the father snorted coldly: "Missing in a war-torn area, this is still called a little trouble? A woman who has been missing in that kind of place for more than an hour is not in danger, and her life is not guaranteed, and it may be worse than death......

"Don't say it!" Lu Tao interrupted his father's words for the first time: "I don't want to hear it!"

"Where do you want to go with that thing?" his father stopped Lu Tao with a word.

He slowly sat down on the sofa and said unhurriedly, "Don't think that a few documents will save you." I can let you run around K with your 'toys', and I can make it difficult for you to move an inch. You can try, not to mention customs and border inspection, I guarantee that you will not even be able to pass the first high-speed toll station. ”

Lu Tao's back froze in place, his fists clenched tightly, and his knuckles made a slight "click" sound, but he couldn't move.

On the sofa, the majestic old man continued: "Stay at home honestly, you don't have to go to the unit recently, come with me to the hot spring city tomorrow for recuperation." ”

Lu Tao still had his back to his father, standing in place, anyone could feel his anger at the moment, like a volcano about to erupt.

But this anger did not erupt after all, but gradually lost its arrogance. His shoulders slowly drooped, and he stood still for a moment, then turned around and walked slowly back upstairs.

The stairs to the study are extraordinarily long. Lu Tao stood beside the phone in a daze for a moment, and finally picked up the receiver and dialed the international call.

"Liu Daren, I'm Lu Tao. His voice was completely filled with weakness and exhaustion, and he said with a strong spirit: "I want to ask you for a favor, it's troublesome." A person I know has gone missing near the triangle of Jager City, and there is no way to determine the situation now. ”

"Xu Ningran, is it?" Liu Daren didn't wait for him to finish, and said his name accurately: "Our captain Zhao Kun is there, and I will rush over immediately." ”

Lu Tao's heart sank again.

Zhao Kun was already near Suyi Bay, with the help of the manpower and equipment of the US military, but the deputy captain Liu Daren still had to go over to support, which can only show that the situation has been complicated to a certain extent.

Lu Tao forced himself to calm down, thought quickly, and said: "I remember that Ning Ran has a few friends over there, and they may know something about the local situation, you should try to ask them for help, I will go to her apartment now, find the address book and send your email address." ”

He paused for two seconds to calm a tremor in his voice: "This matter is up to you! I can't get over, you must help me find her!"

"That's natural. Liu Daren said: "It is estimated that she and Su Yan are together, and we will definitely do our best to search and rescue." ”

At the moment, the two didn't say much, and hurriedly closed the line.

Lu Tao went downstairs again, walked through the living room, and his father was still sitting on the sofa like a rock.

Lu Tao faced him and said, "Now I'm going to go to her house and collect all the clues as much as possible and send them to the rescuers." That's the only thing I can do right now, and I'm going to do it. ”

This time, his father didn't stop him again. After all, the son is bloody, and he is in a hurry, and it is difficult to control.

When the car drove out of the military compound, Lu Tao's hand holding the steering wheel trembled slightly, and once it started, the trembling seemed to be unable to stop. He didn't expect that the uneasiness would be so intense.

Don't die!

Don't get hurt!

Gotta come back, come back safely!

Lu Tao has always felt that he is a person who understands, and understands that he has no future with Ning Ran - it is impossible for his family to accept a woman who is several years older than him, has no background, and is "unclear".

So he is very clear about the future of the two people, and one day they will definitely be separated.

Because of this, he has always restrained himself, avoided losing control of his feelings, avoided being inseparable, and occasionally gave Xu Ningran his favor, which always stopped at the point.

Subconsciously, he may have thought that this restraint was a sign of rationality, as his father did.

But separation can't be now! It can't be like this! It can't be a willful decision by Xu Ningran, who is in a distant foreign land, drawing a clear line with him with life and death.

He wants her to be well, and she has to be well!
