Chapter 587 Hostage Crisis
The Tower of No Return, the Imperial Suite.
Wang Wenzhou and his two sisters-in-law, Li Mei and Empress Zhou, were still in bed. If Wang Wenzhou knew that in the suite next door, the racing prodigy Sheng Liang and his two sisters-in-law had just gotten up and then secretly slipped out, Wang Wenzhou definitely wouldn't be able to sleep.
Chen Yuanyuan arrived at the room door with a worried expression, followed by a group of people.
"Open the door!" Chen Yuanyuan ordered.
Wu Min, the manager of the No Return Building, quickly stepped forward and opened the door.
Chen Yuanyuan rushed in. She entered the bedroom and saw that her nemesis was indeed still asleep. However, both of her little rascals were awake.
When Empress Zhou saw Chen Yuanyuan enter the room, she was too embarrassed to greet her and could only pretend not to see her. Li Meibao was shy, so she quickly pulled the quilt over her shoulder and buried her head under it.
Chen Yuanyuan shouted, "Wang Wenzhou!"
Empress Zhou gently nudged Wang Wenzhou and said softly, "Boxin, wake up."
Wang Wenzhou slowly opened his eyes and asked, "What's up? So early in the morning!"
Chen Yuanyuan scoffed, "Husband, royal items are so convenient, aren't they? You haven't been home for days! You have three residences in Hanshan, but you're even more amazing than Yu the Great, passing by your own home several times without entering!"
Empress Zhou blushed to her neck. She was too proud of her status to argue with Chen Yuanyuan. Besides, she was a married woman, so how could she argue with Chen Yuanyuan?
"Yuanyuan, be good, don't make a fuss, don't be angry!" Wang Wenzhou waved to Chen Yuanyuan and said with a smile, "We're all family, don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Yuanyuan said irritably, "Get up quickly, something's happened!"
Wang Wenzhou didn't even bother to put on his clothes. He jumped off the bed, hugged Chen Yuanyuan, kissed her, and said in a serious tone, "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, how come you've become so beautiful after just a few days!"
"Sigh..." Chen Yuanyuan sighed. There was really no way to deal with this nemesis. Even if you were furious, as soon as you saw him, a few words from him could make you soothed that you couldn't be angry with him anymore.
Chen Yuanyuan said softly, "Hurry up, let me help you get dressed, something really has happened."
Wang Wenzhou asked, "What is it?"
Chen Yuanyuan replied, "Several thugs broke into the school and took a class of students hostage. The thugs want to see you. If you don't go, they will kill the hostages."
Wang Wenzhou yawned and said irritably, "I thought it was something serious! I'm so busy, how could I have time to deal with such trivial matters? Notify Li Hechen and have him lead the special forces to rescue him."
Chen Yuanyuan complained, "Let's go quickly. Li Hechen said that if they force their way in, he can't guarantee the safety of the hostages."
Wang Wenzhou hurriedly said, "Yuanyuan! The world is so big, people die every day. They're not our son, why worry so much? The thugs want to see me, they definitely don't have good intentions. If I go, they'll kill me, and you'll become a widow! Besides, we can't compromise with terrorists, we can't agree to any of their conditions! Notify Li Hechen, tell him it's my order, to launch an immediate assault, at all costs, to eliminate all terrorists!"
Empress Zhou rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou with a resentful look. "My nemesis," she thought, "the people of Hanshan regard you as a benevolent and upright official. If they knew that you don't care about their lives at all, what would they think?"
Chen Yuanyuan said irritably, "Jiang Xuyang is in which class!"
"Damn it!" Wang Wenzhou rushed to the bedside and said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, hurry up and help me get dressed!"
Empress Zhou quickly got up and helped Wang Wenzhou get dressed. She asked curiously, "Boxin, who is Jiang Xuyang?"
Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile, "It's my adopted son. His father died saving me, and I promised him I would take good care of his son. This little brat calls me 'Dad,' so I can't not go."
Empress Zhou frowned. Wang Wenzhou, that troublemaker, though he didn't care about the lives of ordinary people, was genuinely good to his own. Jiang Xuyang was his adopted son, yet he treated him like his own. If Wang Wenzhou had no children, that would be understandable, but he had several biological sons, so it was truly remarkable that he could still treat him this way.
Wang Wenzhou asked, "What exactly happened at Yuanyuan? Where did these terrorists come from?"
Chen Yuanyuan went over and, together with Empress Zhou, helped Wang Wenzhou get dressed, recounting the events to him.
The perpetrators were Ajige and his four cronies. These days, Ajige has been subjected to inhumane treatment in the reserve team of the labor camp.
In less than half a month, Ajige lost at least 20 kilograms, becoming almost skin and bones. Every day, he got up earlier than the chickens, ate worse than the dogs, worked harder than the oxen, and slept later than a prostitute.
Moreover, Ajige's more than one hundred men gradually began to distance themselves from him. Although they dared not reveal their identities, they had learned in recent days that anyone in Hanshan who dared to say they were Manchu would be torn to pieces by the people of Hanshan.
Despite this, the brainwashing work by the reserve team was excellent. Many of Ajige's men began to reflect on their past. Although the days of robbery were enjoyable, the Ming people they killed were all innocent, born of parents. They realized their mistakes. One man even almost confessed to the jailer that he was a Tartar.
Ajige realized this couldn't go on. Even if he wasn't tortured to death, his men would betray him. He was a prince of the Qing Dynasty, unlike his subordinates. Since ancient times, ministers could surrender, but emperors could not; whoever surrendered would die. As a member of the imperial family, surrendering wouldn't end well for him either.
Ajige and eight of his confidants escaped from the labor camp reserve team while the prison guards were not paying attention.
Seeing the situation was bad, Shen He immediately led his men in pursuit. The people of Hanshan were all skilled fighters, and upon seeing the fugitive, they rushed to help capture him. Along the way, four of Ajige's eight trusted men were killed in battle.
Ajige and his four remaining confidants fled to Hanshan School, where, coincidentally, they stumbled into the class that Jiang Xuyang was in.
As Wang Wenzhou's adopted son, Jiang Xuyang also had a guard of over two hundred men. However, he didn't want his guards with him. It was too inconvenient; a group of men watching him pick up girls, and unlike Wang Wenzhou, he wasn't shameless; he was just as shy as the girls.
Moreover, the people of Hanshan all knew the eldest son of a wealthy family, so how could he be in danger? Therefore, Jiang Xuyang often went to the school alone without a guard, and this day he happened to be without a guard as well.
Wang Wenzhou got dressed, very angry, and hurriedly took the babies out the door.
Upon seeing Wang Wenzhou, Shen He knelt down with a thud and hurriedly said, "My lord, it's all my fault!"
"Bang!" Wang Wenzhou kicked Shen He in the face, saying angrily, "You know you were wrong? Are you an idiot?! With so many people around, you still let the prisoner escape? If Xiao Yangyang is alright, that's fine! But if Xiao Yangyang is dead, I'll skin you alive! I don't want to see you anymore, go find a place to eat shit!"
"Yes!" Shen He crawled back a few steps, stood up, turned and ran. He dared not disobey his superior's orders. Besides, this time it was truly his fault. He knew that if something happened to the young master, his life would be over. He could only go find shit to eat, while praying that the young master would be lucky and escape danger.
