Chapter 1372 Yun Rui engraved sincerity: He can't have hand mask
Gu Yunqian took the pen, his fingertips trembling slightly from the pressure. He stared at the blank space on the document, his mind flashing back to Su Xingya's smiling face, his father in the ICU, and Gu Yunxi's frail face.
When the pen hit the paper, he could almost hear the sound of his own heart breaking - he finally compromised and still failed to uphold the Gu family's bottom line.
After signing, Shen Chengyu picked up the document and smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, Mr. Gu is indeed a smart man. Don't worry, I mean what I say. The doctor is on the way to your sister's cell."
He stood up and walked to the door when he suddenly turned back, his eyes full of malice. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I wonder how your sister will react when she finds out you agreed to my conditions. After all, she's so proud, she definitely doesn't want her brother to do something like 'betraying' the Gu family for her."
Gu Yunqian's body suddenly stiffened, and his heart seemed to be tightly gripped.
He knew that Yunxi would never forgive him, but he had no choice. As long as his sister could live, he would accept being misunderstood by everyone, even if he was forever nailed to the pillar of shame as a "traitor."
At the same time, outside an abandoned military factory on the outskirts of London, mercenaries arranged by Eagle were lurking in the bushes.
Their mission is to infiltrate the warehouse...
However, the security outside the warehouse was tighter than expected. Not only was there infrared surveillance, but there were also armed guards patrolling back and forth. They were discovered several times when they tried to get close, and two mercenaries were even injured.
"Captain, this isn't a solution," a mercenary said in a low voice. "The warehouse walls are made of explosion-proof material. Breaking through will set off an alarm. There's also a high probability of a bomb inside. If it goes off, we won't even be able to see anything."
The captain looked towards the warehouse, his brows furrowed. "Wait a little longer! Ghost said he'll remotely cut off the warehouse's surveillance system. As soon as the surveillance goes down, we'll rush in immediately."
But after an hour of waiting, there was still no news from the Ghost. The captain took out his walkie-talkie and tried to contact the Ghost, but found that the signal was blocked. Shen Chengyu had long anticipated a sneak attack and cut off all surrounding signals in advance.
"Damn it!" the captain cursed. "Retreat! If we stay any longer, more people will get hurt!"
The mercenaries quietly evacuated, leaving only two injured members waiting for rescue.
The ghost far away in the dark web is facing an even bigger trouble at this moment - his computer is locked by Shen Chengyu's technical team. The other party not only cracked his firewall, but also tracked his location in reverse. If he had not reacted quickly and cut off the network in time, he might have been arrested by the police.
"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, I can't help you break through the warehouse's surveillance system."
The ghost's voice came through the encrypted phone.
With a hint of fatigue,
"Shen Chengyu's technical team is too strong, and they used military technology. I am no match for them."
Lin Junze sat on a bench in the hospital corridor, his hand trembling as he held the phone. Eagle's mercenaries had failed, Ghost had been tracked down, and Old Ghost had also received news that Shen Chengyu's account in Switzerland had been frozen, his funds missing. All clues seemed to be broken, and they were in an unprecedented predicament.
"Then... what about over there? Can we find a breakthrough from him?" Lin Junze's voice contained a hint of luck.
"She's been moved by Shen Chengyu, and her whereabouts are unknown." Ghost's voice was filled with apology. "Shen Chengyu has already made a backup plan."
Lin Junze hung up the phone, leaned against the wall, and took a deep breath. He knew he had reached the end of his rope.
Even after mobilizing all of the Gu family's secret connections, they still failed to find any fatal evidence against Shen Chengyu, and instead put their own people in danger.
He even began to doubt whether his original decision was wrong - if he had not used these connections, would Shen Chengyu not be alerted, and would he have been able to find other breakthroughs?
But it's too late to say this now.
He pulled out his phone and called Song Yuanzhe. His voice was filled with unprecedented fatigue: "Lawyer Song, we failed. The Eagles' men failed to infiltrate the warehouse, the Ghost was tracked, and the key figures were transferred."
There was a long silence on the other end of the line before Song Yuanzhe's voice came through: "Don't give up. We still have one last resort - Interpol, the one Su Xingya asked me to contact earlier, has agreed to intervene in the investigation. As long as we can provide indirect evidence of Shen Chengyu's collaboration with the Nightingale Organization, they can apply for a provisional arrest warrant for Shen Chengyu."
"Indirect evidence?" Lin Junze's eyes lit up. "We have records of Shen Chengyu's arms trade in the Middle East, as well as photos of him meeting with the Nightingale Organization. Do these count?"
"Okay!" Song Yuanzhe's voice was tinged with excitement. "As long as we submit this evidence to Interpol, they can arrest Shen Chengyu. Although this evidence isn't enough to convict him, it can at least buy time and give us a chance to find more evidence."
Lin Junze immediately stood up and walked quickly towards Su Xingya's ward: "I will send you the evidence now, and you submit it to Interpol as soon as possible!"
At this moment in the detention center, Gu Yunxi was lying on a temporary bed and the doctor was giving her an infusion.
Her face was still pale, but better than before. When she saw Gu Yunqian walk in, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then it was replaced by anger.
"Brother, did you agree to Shen Chengyu's conditions?" Gu Yunxi's voice trembled. "I heard the prison guard say that it was Shen Chengyu who arranged for the doctor to treat me. Did you make a deal with him for me?"
Gu Yunqian walked to the bedside and looked at his sister's pale face. He felt guilty. "Yunxi, don't ask me anymore. As long as you are fine, I am willing to do anything."
"I don't want you to do anything!" Gu Yunxi's emotions became agitated, and he struggled to pull out the IV tube. "I would rather die than have you become Shen Chengyu's lackey! Brother, wake up!"
"I know!" Gu Yunqian's voice was choked with sobs, "But I have no choice! Look at how you look now. If you continue like this, you will die! No one in our family can be left behind..."
Gu Yunxi looked at her brother's red eyes and finally couldn't help but shed tears. She knew that her brother was doing this for her, but she couldn't accept that he gave up his principles and the dignity of the Gu family for her.
"Brother, listen to me," Gu Yunxi's voice softened. "Shen Chengyu won't keep his word. He's just using you. Once you help him crack the system, he'll definitely kill us to silence us. We can't trust him. We have to find a way to escape and expose his true identity."
Gu Yunqian shook his head, his eyes filled with despair: "We can't escape. Shen Chengyu controls everything. Yunxi, just listen to me and get treatment. I'll figure out the rest."
He knew his decision might be wrong and might plunge them into deeper trouble, but he had no way out. Between his sister's life and the Gu family's dignity, he chose the former—even if it meant his own irreparable destruction.
At five in the morning, Lin Junze sent Shen Chengyu's arms transaction records and photos of his meeting with the "Nightingale Organization" to Song Yuanzhe.
Song Yuanzhe immediately contacted Interpol and submitted the evidence. Interpol stated that it would hold an emergency meeting within two hours to discuss whether to issue a provisional arrest warrant for Shen Chengyu...
