Chapter 289 Rescue
Chapter 289 Rescue
As night fell, the atmosphere inside the Qi family villa was tense and solemn.
Qiu Ziyue stood by the study window, deep in thought. She had originally planned to use some means to lure out the snake from its hole and draw out the Second Master Bai who was hiding in the shadows.
However, things took a turn for the worse than she had anticipated.
Li Tao's sudden series of radical actions made her uneasy.
She originally planned for her family of four to travel back in time and live a peaceful life, but she never expected to be caught up in a terrible vortex in modern times.
Now she not only has a child but also a mother, and the lives of her entire family are in danger, which is her biggest worry.
Faced with Li Tao's sudden change and the absence of Master Bai, Qiu Ziyue realized that the Qi family alone could not cope with such a complex situation.
She decided to seek help from the police and contacted Captain Li.
"Captain Li, we need your help."
Qiu Ziyue said urgently on the phone,
"Li Tao has betrayed us and is encroaching on the Qi family villa. The situation is extremely critical."
Upon hearing this, Captain Li immediately agreed to send police officers to guard the Qi family villa and arranged for wiretappers to monitor Li Tao's movements.
"We will protect you secretly."
Captain Li stated firmly, "Once we find evidence of Master Bai's crimes, we will take immediate action."
Soon, a team of special police officers arrived at the Qi family villa.
They set up multiple layers of defense around the villa, equipped with advanced monitoring equipment and weaponry.
“Ms. Qiu Ziyue, it’s too dangerous for you to wait until the snake comes out. There are surveillance videos outside your door that can be used as evidence of the crime. We can arrest Li Tao at any time.”
Captain Li made the suggestion for Qiu Ziyue's safety.
“Captain Li, if we approach Li Tao now, we might alert him and make it even harder to capture him. Why don’t we hold back and look for clues?” Qiu Ziyue said.
"Okay, but it's dangerous. You should be careful. We will ensure the safety of this place, but we can't protect you all the time. You need to be careful."
Captain Li said to Qiu Ziyue.
Meanwhile, the monitors also began to get busy, closely monitoring Li Tao's every move through various technical means.
“Captain Li, the only person who has seen Master Bai right now is Master Hei. How about I try to rescue Master Hei? I think he can provide clues and help us solve the case,” Qiu Ziyue said.
“Do you really think that heinous Boss Hei will side with us, Miss Qiu? Aren’t you being too naive?” Captain Li said.
“No, Captain Li, from what I know, he's also a pitiful person. I believe Li Tao's betrayal will make him realize his mistake.” Qiu Ziyue was certain.
“Alright, we’ll meet you near the villa. Be careful,” Captain Li said.
The night was as dark as ink, and the Qi family villa was completely silent.
Qiu Ziyue stood in front of the mirror in the study, holding a bottle of specially made disguise potion in her hand.
She gently applied the product to her face and carefully disguised herself. After more than ten minutes, her appearance gradually changed, eventually transforming into Li Tao's likeness.
"This operation must be carried out with caution."
Qiu Ziyue muttered to herself,
"Third Master Hei has been imprisoned for a long time, and we must rescue him as soon as possible."
She put on Li Tao's clothes, took the necessary equipment, and quietly left the villa.
A black sedan was parked not far away. Xiao Zhuang was already prepared. After Qiu Ziyue got in the car, it quickly drove towards its destination—Hei San's villa.
The Black Villa is located in the suburbs and is surrounded by high walls and surveillance equipment.
With her superb disguise skills and understanding of Li Tao's habits, Qiu Ziyue successfully passed the guard's check at the entrance.
Upon entering the villa, she found the interior layout to be complex, with patrol personnel stationed along both sides of the corridor.
"I didn't expect the defenses here to be even tighter."
Qiu Ziyue thought to herself, "But now that I'm here, there's no turning back."
She carefully moved through the corridors, using Li Tao's identity to avoid being questioned multiple times.
Finally, she found the room where Black Third Master was being held.
The door was locked, but Qiu Ziyue took out a small master key from her sleeve and easily opened the door.
"Third Master Hei, we've come to save you."
Qiu Ziyue said softly.
When Black Third Master saw Qiu Ziyue, who looked like Li Tao, he was first taken aback, then he recognized Qiu Ziyue's voice and realized that this was reinforcements.
"Take me away from here quickly!" he said urgently.
Just as Qiu Ziyue and Hei Sanye were about to leave, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
Zhen Litao arrived in a hurry with several of his men, clearly having already discovered Qiu Ziyue's whereabouts.
The corridor echoed with hurried footsteps and noisy voices, instantly escalating the tense atmosphere.
Who are you?
Li Tao roared, his eyes blazing, a gleaming pistol gripping his hand.
His men quickly drew their weapons and surrounded Qiu Ziyue and Black Third Master.
Qiu Ziyue's heart tightened, but she quickly calmed herself and met Li Tao's gaze:
"Li Tao, you have committed many evils, turn back before it's too late."
Li Tao sneered: "Dream on."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Tao fired the first shot.
Bullets whizzed past, and Qiu Ziyue and Hei Sanye quickly took cover.
Black Third Master remained agile, nimbly rolling and dodging while using nearby objects for cover.
The two sides engaged in fierce close combat.
Master Hei displayed impressive skills, each move brimming with power and technique, successfully deflecting the attacks of several of his men.
However, Li Tao was skilled with a gun, and the situation gradually turned against Qiu Ziyue and Hei Sanye.
At this critical moment, Li Tao aimed at Black Third Master and was about to pull the trigger.
Without hesitation, Qiu Ziyue rushed forward and stood in front of Hei Sanye.
With a "bang," the bullet struck Qiu Ziyue's bulletproof vest, and she was knocked to the ground by the enormous impact.
Qiu Ziyue quickly got up, took out a small bottle from her sleeve, which was filled with powder—this was her specially made Sujin Ruangu powder.
With a gentle sprinkle, the powder spread out, instantly enveloping the entire room.
"Cough...cough..."
Li Tao and his men covered their mouths and noses, but they soon felt weak in their limbs, their bodies went limp, and they were unable to move.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qiu Ziyue and Hei Sanye rushed to the door and quickly escaped the scene.
"Follow me!" Third Master Hei led Qiu Ziyue toward a hidden exit.
They navigated through the maze-like corridors and finally found a secret passage leading to the basement.
The underground passage was narrow and damp, but Qiu Ziyue and Hei Sanye didn't care at all.
They ran wildly along the passageway and finally arrived at an abandoned garage.
The waiting car was already waiting outside.
"Get in the car quickly!" Qiu Ziyue urged.
The car started and quickly drove away from the scene.
Third Master Hei looked at her gratefully: "Thank you. Without you, I'm afraid I would never have gotten out."
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly: "It's okay, let's talk about it slowly when we get back."
Just as Qiu Ziyue and Hei Sanye were leaving by car, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from the woods.
Bullets rained down on their vehicle, shattering windows and causing the body to rattle and clang from the impacts.
Qiu Ziyue and Hei Sanye quickly lay down inside the car to avoid the incoming bullets.
What's going on?
"Issue No. 3 asked anxiously, his voice tinged with tension."
"It seems someone doesn't want you to leave alive."
Qiu Ziyue answered calmly, her eyes revealing determination.
"We must find cover as soon as possible."
Just then, a police siren sounded in the distance, and Captain Li's SWAT team arrived in a whirlwind.
The special police officers quickly got out of their vehicles, deployed into tactical formations, and returned fire in response to the gunfire coming from the woods.
"Attention everyone, maintain formation!"
Captain Li gave loud commands while gesturing for his team members to spread out and find better shooting positions.
The special police gradually suppressed the attack by the unknown forces, but the other side was clearly prepared.
Using the cover of the trees, they constantly changed positions, causing considerable trouble for the special police.
