"Hey, Chief, I..." Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm, "I need your help, my child... has been kidnapped."

The director's serious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Gu, please calm down and tell me what happened."

Gu Jinyan briefly recounted the whole story, and emphasized that Lin Wan's mental state was extremely unstable and that the police could not be called. After listening, the chief said in a serious tone: "Mr. Gu, I know this matter is difficult for you, but you must trust us, the police, and we will do our best to help you find your child."

"I know, Chief, please!" Gu Jinyan's voice was full of pleading.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinyan's phone suddenly rang. It was a multimedia message from an unfamiliar number. He clicked it with trembling hands and a video came into view.

In the dim room, two children were tied up with their hands and feet, curled up in the corner helplessly, with tears on their faces, obviously frightened. Su Li saw this scene, her heart ached, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

After the video was played, a text message popped up: "If you want the child to live, do as I ask! First, I want you to hold a press conference immediately, admit that your marriage with Su Li was just a transaction, and announce your divorce in public..."

"This lunatic!" Gu Jinyan slammed the table hard, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

"Don't be impulsive, Jin Yan, we have to stay calm!" Su Li held his hand, suppressing the fear and anger in her heart, "We will agree to whatever she wants, as long as the children are okay."

"Okay, I promise her." Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand tightly, his eyes full of determination, "I will definitely bring the children back safely!"

At this time, the police station called and the chief told them that they had found the address where the video was sent, but it would take some time to determine the specific location.

"Okay, let's go there right now!"

Gu Jinyan hung up the phone and walked out with Su Li. The two drove to the police station. No one spoke along the way, but their goal was surprisingly consistent: rescue the child at all costs!

After arriving at the police station, the chief took them to an office and pointed to the map on the computer screen and said, "We have locked down the approximate range where the video was sent. It's in an abandoned factory area on the outskirts of the city..."

Before the director finished speaking, Gu Jinyan suddenly stood up, pointed at a red dot on the screen, and said in a low voice: "It's here, I know this place..."

Gu Jinyan stood up abruptly, pointed at the flashing red dot on the screen, and said firmly: "It's here, I know this abandoned factory." He had participated in an anti-drug operation here and remembered the complex terrain of this area clearly.

The director nodded, his face solemn: "We have sent people to investigate, but the terrain there is complicated and the buildings are intricate, so the search is very difficult."

Su Li stared at the screen closely. The dim light and messy background in the video made her anxious. She replayed the video over and over again, trying to find more clues from the children's words and the surrounding environment. Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something, pointed at the flashing scene in the video, and said anxiously: "Wait, here! This angle..."

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinyan immediately came over and looked in the direction of Su Li's finger.

"From this angle, it looks like it was shot from the second floor, and..." Su Li quickly scrolled through the video and pointed at a blurry logo, "This blurry logo should be the sign of the factory warehouse!"

"Good eyesight!" The director looked at Su Li with appreciation and immediately arranged for technical personnel to conduct a more detailed analysis of the video, trying to restore the complete information of the logo and determine its specific location.

At this moment, Gu Jinyan's phone rang again, and it was the same unfamiliar number. He answered the call, and Lin Wan's sharp and piercing voice came from the receiver: "Why, are you in a hurry? How have you considered my request?"

"Lin Wan, what exactly do you want?!" Gu Jinyan suppressed his anger and asked word by word.

"What do I want? I want you to be ruined and disgraced. I want Su Li to get out of your world!" Lin Wan laughed crazily. "I want you to have a taste of what it feels like to lose everything!"

"You're dreaming!"

"Really? Then I'll give you some more leverage!" Lin Wan's voice suddenly turned cold. "I've had people spread the news in the hospital, saying that Su Li married you to raise medical expenses for her brother. If the media knew about this, how would they report it?"

Gu Jinyan's face suddenly turned pale. He knew that Lin Wan would keep her word. If this matter was exposed by the media, Su Li's reputation would be seriously damaged, and he would also be pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

"You are mean!"

"Haha, I have something even more despicable, just wait and see!"

The call was hung up, and Gu Jinyan's fingers turned white because of the force of holding the phone. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. The most urgent thing now was to find the child and not let Lin Wan lead him by the nose.

"Don't worry, Jin Yan, we will definitely find the child." Su Li held Gu Jinyan's hand and gave him strength.

Gu Jinyan nodded. He knew that now was not the time to feel guilty and blame himself. He had to cheer up and protect Su Li and the child.

The police's analysis results came out quickly. They successfully restored the signs in the video and determined the specific location where the child was detained - Warehouse No. 3 in Zone B of the abandoned factory area.

"Let's go!" Gu Jinyan and Su Li rushed out with the police without any hesitation.

In the night, the sound of police sirens broke the silence. Warehouse No. 3 in Area B of the abandoned factory area was shrouded in an eerie silence... Warehouse No. 3 in Area B of the abandoned factory area was like a giant beast lurking in the darkness, exuding a gloomy atmosphere. Gu Jinyan and Su Li approached the target cautiously under the cover of the police. The door of the warehouse was closed, and the heavy iron door was locked with a rusty iron chain, revealing a dead silence.

"Enter from the back door!" Gu Jinyan's low voice rang out in the night. He was keenly aware of the abnormality of the surrounding environment, and there was a sense of danger in the air.

The police demolition team acted quickly and pried open the back door of the warehouse. The harsh sound of metal friction was particularly abrupt in the silent night, as if awakening a sleeping demon. Suddenly, a dazzling light lit up in the warehouse, accompanied by the sound of mechanical rotation.

"Oh no! There's an ambush!" The experienced police chief immediately realized that the situation was not good and shouted a warning.

Before he finished speaking, a huge iron net suddenly fell from the top of the warehouse, trapping the policemen who were rushing to the front. Then, the windows on both sides of the warehouse opened at the same time, and a group of men in black armed with weapons filed in through the windows and surrounded Gu Jinyan and others.

"Bang! Bang!" Deafening gunshots pierced the night sky, and flames flickered in the darkness.

"Protect the hostages!" Gu Jinyan commanded calmly. He protected Su Li, dodged the dense bullets, and looked for opportunities to counterattack.

Su Li tightly grasped Gu Jinyan's arm, her heart in her throat. She had never experienced such a thrilling scene before. In the hail of bullets, all she could do was trust Gu Jinyan and believe that he could take her out of danger safely.

The fierce exchange of fire lasted for several minutes. The police suppressed the attack of the men in black with their powerful firepower, but they were unable to break through the siege.

"Gu Jinyan, Su Li, you have been surrounded! Just surrender!" Lin Wan's cold voice came from high up in the warehouse.

Gu Jinyan looked up and saw Lin Wan standing on the second-floor platform with a remote control in her hand and a crazy smile on her face.

"Lin Wan, what do you want? Let the child go. Come to me if you have any problems!" Gu Jinyan roared.

“Haha, coming for you? Do you think you are still qualified to negotiate with me?” Lin Wan laughed wildly, “I’m telling you, none of you will leave here alive today!”

"you dare!"

Lin Wan ignored Gu Jinyan's roar. She pressed the remote control in her hand. Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded in the warehouse, and then the ground began to shake violently.

"Oh no, she's going to blow this place up!" The police chief's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone, retreat immediately!"

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Lin Wan pressed the remote control again, and the warehouse door slammed shut, trapping everyone inside.

"Damn it!" Gu Jinyan cursed. He knew that they were now in a desperate situation.

At this moment, a hurried voice suddenly came from the police chief's intercom: "Report to the chief, we have found Lin Wan's hiding place based on the clues provided by the informant, but..."

"But what? Say it!"

"But the kids weren't there!"

"What?!" When Gu Jinyan and Su Li heard the news, they were struck by lightning and their faces turned pale.

"Where are the children?" Su Li's voice trembled. She leaned weakly on Gu Jinyan, tears of despair streaming down her face. Gu Jinyan hugged her tightly, his eyes firmly scanning the surroundings. He knew that now was not the time to despair. He had to find the children, even if there was only a glimmer of hope... Su Li leaned helplessly in Gu Jinyan's arms, her tears soaking his clothes. Gu Jinyan felt the trembling of the person in his arms, and his heart was broken. He hugged Su Li tightly, and said in her ear in a low and firm voice: "Don't be afraid, we will definitely find the children."

The police chief walked around anxiously and shouted into the intercom: "Check it for me! Mobilize all surveillance cameras and check all suspicious vehicles. We must find the whereabouts of Lin Wan and the children!"

"Yes!" came the police's firm response from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Time passed by, and every second was a torment for Su Li and Gu Jinyan. They waited anxiously for news from the police, their hearts filled with anxiety and fear.

"Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, we found a suspicious vehicle that lost its trace after leaving the abandoned factory." A policeman hurried over to report.

"Track it immediately!" Gu Jinyan said decisively, "Mobilize all police forces and make sure to find that car!"

The sirens pierced the night sky, and dozens of police cars rushed out and rushed towards the target area. Su Li and Gu Jinyan also followed the police. They had only one belief in their hearts, that is, to find the child and never give up.

Outside the car window, the night scene of the city was receding rapidly, but Su Li's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, unable to breathe. She held Gu Jinyan's hand tightly, her palms full of cold sweat.

"The children will be fine, they will be fine..." Su Li murmured to herself, as if she was comforting herself, or praying to God.

Gu Jinyan didn't say anything, but held Su Li's hand even tighter, giving her strength and support. His deep eyes flashed with determination, and he knew that no matter what the cost, he would bring the children back safely!

After several hours of tracking, the police finally found the suspicious vehicle in a remote suburb.

"It's right there!" Gu Jinyan pointed to a dilapidated warehouse in front and rushed down first.

Su Li and the police followed closely behind. The door of the warehouse was closed, exuding an eerie atmosphere.

"Break the door!" Gu Jinyan gave an order and the police immediately broke down the door.

With a loud "bang", the door of the warehouse was knocked open. In the dim warehouse, several small figures could be vaguely seen huddled in the corner.

"Dad! Mom!" When the children saw Su Li and Gu Jinyan, they immediately rushed over crying.

"Baby!" Su Li hugged the children, tears welling up in her eyes.

However, at the moment when their family was reunited, a cold voice came from deep in the warehouse: "Want to leave? Dream on!"
