40: Chapter 40 Gu's Mother Snatches Her Daughter, Returns Home for a Marriage Alliance

Half an hour later.

Ling Shuang arrived with all the special police officers.

The entire steel mill was sealed off, and drones were even deployed to patrol the sky.

They had expected fierce resistance, but to their surprise, when they stormed into the Red Skull base, they only saw corpses everywhere.

There wasn't a single living person left.

Ling Shuang knew that Jiang Chen had killed all these people, so she immediately ordered, "Go search the entire steel mill and find the women who were kidnapped and held captive. Do not miss a single corner."

"Yes!"

The special police officers immediately dispersed.

Ling Shuang went to the warehouse where she had previously lurked and quickly found the door leading to the basement.

Although she knew Jiang Chen was highly skilled, she was still filled with worry.

After all, Red Skull was not an ordinary gang, but a terrorist organization composed of many martial arts experts.

It was said that the leader of Red Skull was even a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

With Jiang Chen storming in alone, he would inevitably be outnumbered.

However, when she reached the depths of the basement, she was shocked once again by the scene before her.

Even though she had seen big scenes before, she was still terrified by the corpses and blood everywhere; it was like Hell.

The pungent smell of blood was everywhere, making her nauseous.

Ling Shuang carefully examined the cause of death for these people; almost all of them had been killed with a single blow.

Some had their necks snapped, others were decapitated; their deaths were more miserable than the last.

Walking along the way.

Ling Shuang's delicate body was trembling slightly.

She really couldn't imagine how Jiang Chen, who seemed harmless, could have slaughtered so many people.

Soon, she arrived at the conference room.

The conference room was in a mess, with five or six corpses lying on the ground.

Among them, the one that attracted her attention the most was an old man.

The old man was clutching his neck with both hands, sprawled on the ground in a kneeling position, his pupils filled with terror and shock.

This old man was the leader of Red Skull.

"Save... save me..."

She had thought the old man was already dead, but unexpectedly, a faint, weak sound came from his throat.

His originally dim pupils actually showed a glimmer of vitality.

Ling Shuang was startled on the spot.

She initially wanted to save the old man, but thinking that Jiang Chen had killed all these people outside, what if he survived and exposed Jiang Chen?

Ling Shuang walked up to the old man and stared at him with cold eyes.

The old man looked at Ling Shuang and seemed to use all his strength to say, "I have a lot of money... save me... I will give it all to you..."

"Keep it for yourself to use in Hell."

Ling Shuang pulled out her pistol, aimed at the old man's head, and fired a shot directly.

The deafening gunshot immediately attracted the special police officers to rush over.

When they rushed into the office and saw the Red Skull leader with his head blown off, they all showed expressions of pleasant surprise.

"Captain, you actually killed the leader of Red Skull?"

"That's amazing! Our captain is still the best, able to kill even the leader of Red Skull."

"No matter how powerful an Ancient Martial Artist is, they aren't as powerful as a pistol!"

"..."

The special police officers cast admiring glances at Ling Shuang, treating her as an idol.

But Ling Shuang knew in her heart.

The person who truly killed the Red Skull boss was Jiang Chen.

She had just delivered the finishing blow.

Soon, those kidnapped women were all found and successfully rescued.

The news of the Red Skull organization being wiped out instantly made the newspapers.

Even television reporters rushed over to interview Ling Shuang.

And Ling Shuang's feat of infiltrating the Red Skull organization alone and killing the Red Skull leader spread widely throughout Jinling, becoming almost universally known.

Ling Shuang received dual commendations from the Jinling government and the police department.

To celebrate Ling Shuang's feat of eliminating a scourge for the people.

Gu Ruoxue prepared a sumptuous feast at home and also called Xiao Yuwei over.

After Ling Shuang was seated, Gu Ruoxue took the lead in raising her glass to congratulate her.

Jiang Chen was also among them and even winked at her.

"Hey, you killed those people from Red Skull, right?"

While Gu Ruoxue and the others were busy, Ling Shuang quietly leaned over to Jiang Chen and asked.

"Shh!"

Jiang Chen pressed his finger against Ling Shuang's lips and said meaningfully, "If people find out I did it, I'll be in big trouble. I might even be thrown into prison. It's better to keep the credit for yourself."

Ling Shuang also had this concern in her heart, which is why she didn't reveal the truth.

Even though the people Jiang Chen killed were heinous villains, killing over a hundred people at once would be hard to justify, even as self-defense.

"What are you two whispering about?"

Seeing Jiang Chen and Ling Shuang sitting on the sofa with their heads almost touching, Xiao Yuwei walked over holding a beer.

Ling Shuang's pretty face flushed red immediately. She quickly moved away and said nervously, "There's no whispering, Yuwei, don't think too much."

Saying this, she stood up and went to the kitchen to help Gu Ruoxue clean up the tableware.

Xiao Yuwei sat directly on the sofa, crossing her long, rounded legs, and smiled, "Jiang Chen, do you have time this weekend?"

"I don't seem to have anything on."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said.

Xiao Yuwei reached out to hook Jiang Chen's chin and said with a smile, "Then accompany me home this weekend. I'll come pick you up."

"Okay..."

Jiang Chen really couldn't resist Xiao Yuwei's temptation.

Just at this moment.

A car engine suddenly sounded outside the villa.

Soon, a noble-looking middle-aged woman carrying a handbag and wearing high heels walked into the villa.

The beautiful woman looked to be in her forties, but she was well-maintained; her skin was fair, and there wasn't a single wrinkle on her face, making her look like she was thirty.

However, her eyes were quite arrogant, giving off a condescending feeling.

"Why is she here?"

Xiao Yuwei looked at the middle-aged woman who walked in, showing a look of surprise.

Jiang Chen quickly asked, "Third Sister-in-law, who is she?"

Xiao Yuwei said, "She is your sister-in-law's mother, a noble lady from the Provincial Capital Gu Family. She has always opposed your sister-in-law being with your eldest brother. I'm afraid she came this time to take your sister-in-law back for an arranged marriage."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Gu Ruoxue came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, looking surprised.

Mrs. Gu looked at the apron on Gu Ruoxue and her wet hands, immediately showing a look of anger, "Ruoxue, what is going on? Are you acting as a servant for them here?"

"Mom, you misunderstood, it's not like that..."

Gu Ruoxue knew her mother's personality well and quickly explained.

"Stop talking!"

Mrs. Gu directly interrupted Gu Ruoxue, pulled off her apron, and said in a cold voice, "Ruoxue, come out with me, I have something to say to you!"

Without further ado, she directly dragged Gu Ruoxue out of the villa.

Ling Shuang also came out of the kitchen at this time and asked curiously, "Who came?"

Xiao Yuwei sneered, "Who else could it be? It's obviously that noble lady from the Provincial Capital Gu Family. It seems Ruoxue cannot escape her fate this time."

Grandma Jiang was startled upon hearing this and immediately urged Jiang Chen, "Little Chen, what are you still standing there for? Hurry out and take a look!"

"Okay!"

Jiang Chen quickly got up and ran out.

From afar, he saw the middle-aged beautiful woman pulling Gu Ruoxue into the car, saying in a commanding tone, "Ruoxue, come back with me. From today on, you are not allowed to return to Jinling!"

"Mom, I don't want to!"

Gu Ruoxue looked nervous and struggled desperately.

When she saw Jiang Chen come out, Gu Ruoxue seemed to see a savior; she suddenly broke free from Mrs. Gu and ran towards Jiang Chen.

Her small hands tightly clutched Jiang Chen's arm, and her beautiful face showed a look of pleading, "Jiang Chen, help me."

Just as Jiang Chen was about to speak, a cold voice came from behind:

"Ruoxue, who is he?"
