Chapter 635 — Qiu Lingshan Is Captured
"Oh, I am not drunk." Shen Yushu shook her head. "I just saw that Sister Yaoyao was a little unhappy today, so I wanted to cheer you up..."
Gu Mengyao froze for a moment. She had never imagined that Shen Yushu's clowning around today was all to cheer her up. A warm current rose in her heart, and she threw her arms around Shen Yushu, deeply moved. "Little Shu, thank you!"
"Oh, it is nothing!" Shen Yushu shook her head. "When Sister Yaoyao is unhappy, of course I want to make you happy!"
"Mm, Little Shu, you are so good to me!" Gu Mengyao was truly touched.
"Then you have to let me be your little wife from now on!" Shen Yushu said.
"Heh, all right. We will stay together all our lives, and be good sisters for all our lives!" Gu Mengyao nodded, giving her first direct answer to Shen Yushu's silly question.
Wei Zhao drove ahead, as though he had not heard the conversation between the two sisters in the back seat. In truth he had heard it all, only he did not know what to say, nor how to comfort Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.
Once back at the villa, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu went upstairs hand in hand to whisper secrets together, leaving Wei Zhao alone downstairs.

After a meeting to discuss the matter, Qiu Lingshan decided to go undercover, infiltrating the criminal gang in order to wipe out the whole syndicate in one sweep! Otherwise, merely arresting a few small fry would do nothing for the case as a whole!
This method of sending men out to snatch people was called releasing flying saucers. A flying saucer, as the name suggests, is an unidentified flying object, and even if you caught one you would still have no idea what stood behind it, just like mankind's ignorance about UFOs.
Qiu Lingshan overrode all objections and resolved to brave the danger herself. After all, she was the captain, and this case was her inescapable duty. If she did not go, someone else would have to go, and if someone else went, she as captain would only worry more!
After all, in the entire Criminal Investigation Team, Qiu Lingshan was the strongest. Only if she took action herself could the danger be reduced to the greatest extent and this undercover plan succeed.
Although many of the squadron leaders did not want Qiu Lingshan to take the risk, once she had made up her mind they could do nothing about it, and could only take charge of covering her.
So Qiu Lingshan disguised herself as a country woman, looking like a village wife hurrying along the night road in Binjia Village.
"Biaozi, here comes a village woman hurrying down the night road. Do we move?" Behind a haystack, two burly men were speaking in low voices.
"I say yes. The bosses handed down a quota, and we have to bring back one person today. After waiting half the night, someone finally came along. Let it be her!" The big man called Biaozi nodded. "Brother Ma, when she gets close, we move!"
The man called Brother Ma nodded. "If we do not act, where will we get money for drinks and women? Damn it, she is the one!"
Qiu Lingshan had in fact sensed something wrong long ago. The professional instincts of a criminal investigation captain and the keen perception of a Yellow Rank expert had already told her that two enemies lay in ambush not far away, but her whole purpose this time was to be seized by these men, so as to slip inside their ranks, find their lair, and wipe out the organization in one net!
Qiu Lingshan meant to pose as someone kidnapped for kidney harvesting, then be delivered to the gang's headquarters, and at the very moment before the operation, strike suddenly and take down the whole den.
"Move!" Brother Ma waved his hand and said to Biaozi.
The two men suddenly leapt out from behind the haystack and pinned Qiu Lingshan down from the left and the right.
"Ah, what do you want? Help!" Qiu Lingshan cried out in alarm!
Brother Ma and Biaozi exchanged a grin. In this desolate wilderness, let alone shouting with your throat, even shouting through a loudspeaker no one would hear! Although they were operating in Binjia Village, they did not dare snatch people where crowds gathered! If they startled the villagers, how could the two of them stand against a whole mob?
So to be safe, they had chosen a lonely field path with few travelers. It was quiet here, but it had one drawback, which was that almost no one passed at night, unless someone hurrying down the night road happened to come this way.
The two had only meant to try their luck here in the first half of the night, to see if anyone would pass by. If that failed, they would wait until the second half of the night to break into homes and seize people. That would be riskier, but at least it would be late at night and would not alarm most people.
To their surprise, after waiting only a few hours, a lone village wife walking the night road came along. Such a chance was truly rare! No longer caring whether Qiu Lingshan cried for help, they smashed a fist straight into the side of her neck and knocked her unconscious.
In fact, Qiu Lingshan had not fainted at all. She was only pretending to be unconscious! If a Yellow Rank expert could be knocked out so casually, then a Yellow Rank expert would be far too weak.
The two men dragged Qiu Lingshan onto a van, which started swiftly and sped off toward the city.
After a journey of a little more than half an hour, Qiu Lingshan was delivered to another abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. They still had not entered the city proper, only this place lay in completely the opposite direction from the last hideout.
Qiu Lingshan knew this was only a temporary transit station, not the gang's headquarters, and that she was merely being stashed here for the moment! The two big men from before were only responsible for grabbing people. There should be another crew to take her to the place of surgery! That place must be their real headquarters.
At the abandoned factory, Qiu Lingshan was tossed into a basement, while the two big men went merrily off to collect their money.
The one left to guard her was another man with a gloomy face, a hooked nose and deep-set eyes, looking like a man who had smoked too much opium.
The hook-nosed man studied Qiu Lingshan closely and was at once struck with amazement. He had never expected a village wife to be so beautiful. It was utterly beyond expectation. Moreover, she looked quite young, and probably not yet married.
The hook-nosed man smacked his lips, his eyes greedy, but after a moment of hesitation he still dialed a number.
"Tattoo Brother, we have caught a fat sheep." The hook-nosed man spoke in a low voice, afraid of waking Qiu Lingshan, only he did not know that Qiu Lingshan had been awake all along.
"Oh? Very good. I will send someone to pick up the goods in a while." The one who answered was An Jianwen's trusted tattooed man. "Good speed this time. You earn praise! Keep up the good work, and tell them to keep catching fat sheep!"
