Gu Qichen turned to Xiao Liyan, "Where are Qian Zimo's men?"
"They'll reach Shazhen in half an hour. I've scouted the encirclement points. The north is the weakest and has fewer residents. We'll leave from there."
Gu Qichen nodded and pulled Qin He into the car.
The car was modified and explosion-proof.
Xiao Liyan drove, with Gu Qichen and Qin He in the passenger seat.
North of Shazhen were mostly abandoned buildings, becoming quieter towards the edges.
Until they left Shazhen and reached the desert highway, Qin He's heart was still pounding.
Not far away, a car suddenly appeared on the horizon.
Xiao Liyan's gaze was cold, "Those aren't Qian Zimo's people."
"Then they must be Shen Yicong's," Gu Qichen said grimly.
One car was not a problem, but soon, several more appeared behind them, giving chase.
Qin He's heart skipped a beat.
Xiao Liyan in the front seat realized something, "Something's wrong! We're surrounded!"
On the horizon at the end of the desert, cars appeared one after another.
There were various models, all converging towards Qin He's car.
Qin He's face turned pale. On the farthest open-top Jeep, something being carried made her heart race.
"Shen Yicong has gone mad. Has he brought out the entire Lev organization?"
The car was soon surrounded by dozens of vehicles.
In such a situation, let alone being explosion-proof, even with wings, escape would be impossible.
Xiao Liyan locked the car doors and looked at Gu Qichen in the back seat with helplessness, "Being your brother's friend, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but I'll be stuck here with you."
Qin He's lips tightened, "Even if Qian Zimo comes, it will—"
The cars in front parted, and a black convertible drove forward.
The driver was fully armed. In the passenger seat, a man with a silver mask stood roughly, his upper body leaning out of the car window.
Qin He watched coldly as the car stopped in front of theirs.
Shen Yicong removed his silver mask, revealing the familiar face.
"Qin He, will you come down yourself, or should I have them blow up your car?"
Qin He's lips tightened. Gu Qichen held her hand.
"Don't get out."
Outside, Shen Yicong smiled mockingly, looking into the car through the windshield.
"You truly are deeply devoted. If you get out of the car voluntarily now, I can let your little lover and the driver go. How about that?"
Qin He's heart stirred. She turned to look at Gu Qichen.
It was a dead end. Even with a sliver of hope, she wanted to try.
Xiao Liyan locked the car doors, "Are you crazy! Do you believe his words?"
"But what else can we do now?" Qin He gritted her teeth. She hadn't expected Shen Yicong to deploy all of Lev's manpower to deal with her.
This was China, not Italy. The security was strict, and Shen Yicong's usual activities were extremely covert.
This time, he was likely here to avenge his brother Shen Yilin.
Qin He rolled down the car window, "How can I trust you?"
Shen Yicong laughed gruffly, "He'er, what can you do if you don't trust me?"
Inside the car, Gu Qichen's expression turned icy.
"Don't get out," he said in a low voice.
Qin He turned to look at him. Gu Qichen whispered, "Trust me."
Opposite the car, Shen Yicong patted the driver, who immediately got out. Shen Yicong moved to the driver's seat and reached out to pat the back of the passenger seat.
"Come on, your seat is ready for you."
Qin He frowned. Wasn't Shen Yicong planning to kill her?
Or was his hatred so deep that he planned to take her back and torture her severely?
"The stone you want doesn't exist, do you know that?" Qin He frowned and raised her voice.
Shen Yicong smiled slyly, "Of course I know. Ever since Yilin died, I haven't planned to get that stone."
His eyes turned sinister, "I want you. Yilin is dead, you have to compensate me with yourself, don't you?"
As soon as he said that, Gu Qichen and Xiao Liyan's faces changed.
A chilling murderous intent flickered in Gu Qichen's eyes.
"I've prepared a beautiful island for you. You'll live there. Of course, it's not in China."
Shen Yicong said with a smile, "After today's operation, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in China anymore. You'll have to accompany me in a foreign land."
"You're truly a pervert!" Qin He gritted her teeth.
Shen Yicong raised an eyebrow, "If you're reluctant to part with anyone, I can bring them along to keep you company. Your master, or your son? Or perhaps this little lover of yours named Gu? Hmm, the one named Gu is not an option, but I can consider others."
He seemed to be genuinely considering, but the hand holding the gun was resting on the car window, a blatant threat.
Qin He closed her eyes.
She held Gu Qichen's hand and sneered at the car window, "I must have had a terrible life to be targeted by a pervert like you."
"What, do you regret saving me back then?" Shen Yicong narrowed his eyes.
His desires had always been deeply hidden, especially when his brother liked this woman.
But now, it was different.
A determination flickered in Qin He's starry eyes, "I am a doctor. Saving lives is my responsibility. I don't regret it."
Shen Yicong's expression turned colder, "Aren't you coming down? Do you want me to personally escort you? In that case, the other two people in the car will be tied up and dragged into the desert. By the time we reach our destination, even their bones will be ground to dust. Do you want to see that?"
Qin He still did not get out of the car.
Shen Yicong became enraged, and he sneered.
"Take action."
Qin He turned to look at Gu Qichen.
Shen Yicong was determined to succeed.
A gust of sand blew over, and he frowned, looking at the sky.
"It's starting to blow."
Next, a roar sounded on the horizon.
Shen Yicong's expression changed, and he looked into the distance.
Dozens of helicopters were flying towards them.
On the ground, hundreds of fully armed military vehicles were approaching.
Shen Yicong stood frozen for a few minutes.
Inside the car, Gu Qichen opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yicong with a cold expression.
"Mr. Shen, how does it feel to be surrounded?"
Monkey, following Shen Yicong, anxiously said, "Military advisor, run!"
Shen Yicong looked at the dust clouds filling the sky, then at the helicopters overhead. He was already locked on.
Warning sounds emanated from loudspeakers in the air and on the ground.
He turned his head and looked in Qin He's direction.
"Please immediately lay down your weapons and surrender, or you will be shot on sight."
Shot on sight.
Shen Yicong curled his lips. His island had countless rare treasures, but he had no one to share them with.
He had originally intended to use it for his brother's marriage, but then his brother was gone.
Shen Yicong suddenly strode towards the front of the car. The gun in his hand was aimed at Gu Qichen.
"Qin He, I'll make you taste loss too—"
"Bang."
Xiao Liyan retracted his gun. Blood trickled from Shen Yicong's forehead.
Qin He's face turned deathly pale.
But remembering that this man had killed Qi Yang, she forced herself to calm down. This man deserved it.
He had just tried to kill Gu Qichen!
