In the dim room, the flickering candlelight illuminated Su Su's half-bright and half-dark face.

She stood in front of a pair of twin babies. The two children stared with wide eyes at the smiling but cold woman in front of them, their eyes full of fear.

"Okay! Now how should we punish these two little rascals?"

Su Su's voice was gentle but carried a threat that could not be ignored. She looked at the two exquisite dolls with a smile. There seemed to be countless emotions intertwined in her bright eyes, which eventually turned into strange colors.

Her eyes fell on the soft little hand of the younger child, which was unconsciously trying to touch something but was stopped by fear.

"Look at this soft little hand. If it turns into a puddle of mud, I wonder if that bitch will feel bad?"

There was a morbid pleasure in Su Su's words, as if the thought of that scene made her feel extremely satisfied.

Suddenly, she picked up the cold willow hammer on the table. It was the hammer she once used to protect herself, but now it seemed to have become a tool to hurt innocent people.

She forcefully pulled the baby's hand away from her mouth. The child frowned in pain but dared not make a sound. She pretended to swing the willow hammer in the air a few times, each time as if testing the child's psychological limit.

Seeing this, his brother could no longer hold back his fear and sadness and burst into tears. His cry was heartbreaking and full of despair about his unknown fate.

"Crying? It seems that you, a little bastard, want to help your brother bear the responsibility?"

Su Su's voice became even colder, and the corners of her mouth gently raised up in a strange arc. The smile looked particularly ghostly and sinister under the dim candlelight. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, as if she could see into the deepest part of people's hearts.

"boom!"

A deafening gunshot broke the silence, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and a hint of uneasiness.

"Ah, who is it?"

A terrified scream accompanied by dripping blood broke the dead silence in the warehouse. On Su Su's wrist, a bright red wound was shocking, and blood was gushing out.

"A Fei, hurry up and grab the child!"

Su Su endured the severe pain, used her uninjured left hand to support her body, and issued a hasty order to He Fei who was standing beside her. Her eyes were filled with determination and anxiety, she knew that time was life.

He Fei heard this, without any hesitation, and rushed to the children like lightning, hugging one of them tightly in his arms. However, just as he turned around to protect Su Su, he saw her fall heavily to the ground due to a bullet in the knee, groaning in pain.

"Miss!"

He Fei's heart suddenly tightened, and he wanted desperately to save Su Su, but the child in his arms prevented him from doing so.

At the same time, Lu Yi had quietly pried open the back door, preparing to find a hidden location to monitor the situation.

But when he turned around and looked inside the warehouse, he saw a shocking scene - Su Su, the usually gentle woman, was like a madman at this moment, holding the hammer high in her hand, with a strange and resolute light flashing in her black eyes.

"Let go of the child!"

Lu Yi's heart sank. He knew very well that Su Su was on the verge of collapse, but he knew even more clearly that the child's safety must not be compromised.

He pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the bullet whizzed out, hitting Su Su's wrist accurately, forcing her to let go of the hammer.

Then, Lu Yi rushed forward, grabbed the other child with one hand, and protected him behind him. He looked around vigilantly, his eyes shuttled back and forth between Su Su and He Fei, making sure that he did not miss any threat.

"Su Su, calm down!"

Lu Yi's voice was low and powerful, trying to awaken Su Su's reason.

……

On a winding path, an off-road vehicle was speeding towards us, its wheels kicking up layers of dust, as if with unstoppable determination.

Inside the car, Ji Yan clenched her hands into fists, her eyes full of anxiety and fear, and her heartbeat quickened with every bump in the car.

"boom!"

Just as the car was about to approach the lonely little house, a deafening gunshot suddenly echoed through the valley, breaking the surrounding silence.

Ji Yan could no longer hold back, she slammed the car door and jumped out recklessly, completely ignoring the possible danger that the vehicle might bring while still in motion.

"Yanyan!"

Xin Mujing was quick to pull her into his arms, and the two of them rolled on the ground for several rounds until they came to a complete stop.

He quickly checked Ji Yan's body, and after confirming that she was fine, he covered her mouth tightly and spoke in a low and firm voice.

“Shh! Don’t make any noise. We don’t know the specific situation yet. There was only one gunshot. There may still be a standoff inside. If the children are in their hands, we can’t act rashly.”

Tears glistened in Ji Yan's eyes, but she forced herself not to make a sound. She just nodded vigorously to show her understanding.

Seeing this, Xin Mujing gently loosened his hand.

Not far away, Helian Minxiao was hiding quietly in the dark, peeking at the situation inside the house through a half-open window.

Su Su was seen kneeling on the ground, crying and cursing, while the two men were holding two children hostage respectively, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

One of the men was holding a gun and holding the baby tightly with one arm, while the other seemed a little helpless due to his injury and was anxiously asking something to the woman next to him.

Helian Minxiao quickly turned around and reported to his companions in a low voice: "Lu Yi has successfully rescued one child, but the other is still in their hands. The good news is that the man with the gun is not a direct threat to the child at present."

Zheng Haoqian frowned and exchanged glances with the others, and everyone drew their pistols from their waists at the same time.

"Yanyan, remember, no matter what happens, your first priority is to protect yourself and not let yourself become their target." He said to Ji Yan seriously.

Ji Yan took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner panic, and answered firmly: "I know, I will be careful. Our goal is to rescue the child safely."

"Okay, let's get ready for action!" Lu Nanxu's deep and powerful voice rang out. He stood up and slowly approached the back door. The other four people dispersed and stood in a circle, forming an encirclement.

They kept a close eye on every move in the house, waiting for that fleeting opportunity.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air seemed to freeze.

Finally, when the other party was careless and relaxed, Lu Nanxu decisively sent out a signal, and the five people launched an attack almost at the same time, rushing into the house at lightning speed, and a thrilling rescue operation began...

Inside the house, the dim lights flickered, casting mottled shadows, and the air was filled with tension and uneasiness.

Su Su stood in a corner of the room, her eyes as sharp as torches, staring directly at Lu Yi opposite her. Her voice trembled slightly with anger, but was filled with unquestionable firmness.

"Don't even think about asking me to hand over the child!"

Her knees were aching slightly from the accidental fall, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly with every word she spoke, but the pain made her more determined to make Ji Yan pay the price.

At this time, He Fei, a tall and silent man, stood beside Su Su, looking at the scene with complicated eyes.

The baby in his arms seemed to feel the tense atmosphere around him. His little body began to twist restlessly, and he let out faint sobs. The sound was like the drizzle of early spring, beating against everyone's heart.
