Upon hearing this, a hint of panic flickered across Gu Hanzhou's previously composed demeanor: "Song Ling?"
"Does the captain recognize me?"
"Um……"
Gu Hanzhou remembered Song Ling's unexpected situation very clearly; it was he who recommended Dr. Chen to Xiao Zeyan.
Song Ling quickly sorted through the connections between the First Team and Luo Wenchuan in his mind, and after a moment said to Gu Hanzhou, "I want to know why the First Team leader came here today."
Gu Hanzhou said, "The people in Team Three don't have the authority to manage this matter."
"Which one, Qinghe or Fengxing? If I am also a pawn in the First Captain's plan, do I still not have the right to know the details of this matter?"
Song Ling's tone was already extremely restrained. He had sensed early on that Luo Wenchuan's audacious attack on Luo Huaishan might be due to the support of many people behind him, but he never expected it to be his trusted confidants.
Gu Hanzhou was silent for a moment, then said to Song Ling, "Get in the car."
Song Ling walked to the passenger seat, and in just twenty minutes, he learned the whole truth.
Luo Wenchuan had already been recruited as an unofficial member of the team after confirming his Enigma identity. These bastards, wanting to gain Luo Huaishan's trust before investigating Fengxing, actually came up with the idea of sacrificing Qinghe first.
Those heartless bastards.
“Luo Wenchuan has found a lot of evidence, but Luo Shupei has been hiding abroad. We can only release the evidence of Luo Wenchuan’s attack on Qinghe back then to lure him out. Once the plaintiff becomes the defendant, this matter will be completely resolved.” Gu Hanzhou’s hand on the steering wheel tightened. She knew this was dangerous. If there was even one wrong step, Luo Huaishan might find out at any time, but she had no choice but to do it.
Luo Wenchuan's move was already out of control the moment she met Song Ling. She no longer had the energy to cultivate another one. If Luo Huaishan didn't even trust his own son, who else would he trust?
Song Ling frowned and said, "You don't understand Luo Huaishan at all. Even if the evidence is conclusive, he won't just surrender."
The reason why the trusted team trusted Luo Wenchuan so much was largely because they took advantage of Luo Wenchuan's hatred for Luo Huaishan.
He had previously asked the school to conceal the reason for his injury in order to stop provoking Luo Wenchuan and to help him regain his senses, preventing him from being blinded by hatred. Judging from Luo Wenchuan's distraught state a few days ago, someone probably revealed the truth.
“That’s why I came here in person. We’re waiting for a verdict. Once the verdict is issued, how to deal with Luo Huaishan is our business.” Gu Hanzhou pulled a gun from his waist, aimed it at the main entrance, and said, “See that doorway? If it’s Luo Wenchuan who comes out, all will be well. If it’s Luo Huaishan, the trusted team will kill him themselves.”
"What if they can't be convicted?" Song Ling asked her.
“No, everything he’s done is enough to get him a lifetime in jail.” Gu Hanzhou looked away and was about to open the door when he heard the sound of a bullet being chambered outside the car.
"Put down your gun, he has hostages!"
A gasp came from outside the car. Song Ling looked up and saw a familiar figure at the main gate.
In Luo Huaishan's hand was a delicate, small women's pistol. The hostage he had taken was Luo Wenchuan, whose neck was fitted with a restraint ring.
In Luo Wenchuan's eyes, there was not a trace of life. Under the suppression of the court's specially made restraint ring, Enigma was no different from an ordinary person.
Just as Song Ling was about to get out of the car, Gu Hanzhou suddenly grabbed her wrist: "Where are you going? If you go out now, it will disturb his mood."
"Whose emotions are you trying to sway, Luo Huaishan or Luo Wenchuan? Do you want to watch Luo Wenchuan die? Captain Gu, if your lover were being held hostage right now, would you be this calm?" Song Ling looked at the people standing on the steps, his fists clenched tightly.
Gu Hanzhou was stunned for a moment, then remained silent.
No one can remain calm when their loved one is in danger, so the captain of the trusted team is not allowed to get married during his term of office.
Song Ling's gaze fell ahead, where people in the lead car had already gone out to negotiate with Luo Huaishan.
"If the final outcome of the negotiations is unsatisfactory, will you choose to sacrifice the hostages?" Song Ling suddenly asked.
Gu Hanzhou fell silent again; she couldn't be sure about this. She didn't want any more of her undercover agents to get hurt, but sacrificing only Luo Wenchuan was indeed the least damaging option.
The man's silence made Song Ling suddenly realize a truth: it's better to rely on yourself than on others. If his trusted team can't save Luo Wenchuan, he will.
Song Ling looked at Luo Wenchuan not far away and slowly closed her eyes.
If a shot is fired now, the moment the gunshot rings out, Luo Huaishan will realize what's happening and will definitely attack Luo Huaishan.
If we don't fire, the longer we delay, the worse things will inevitably happen.
Luo Wenchuan, why couldn't you have told him this sooner?
This little rascal who always acts on his own initiative has really caused him a lot of trouble.
As if suddenly remembering something, Song Ling suddenly opened her eyes and sent a message to Xiao Qian outside the convoy.
.
Luo Huaishan's gaze fell on the entire convoy. He never expected that the little thing from back then would become the dog of the trusted team.
"Luo Wenchuan, you have my blood in your veins. Don't think I won't dare to touch you."
"You can kill me all you want, and that will make you famous for killing your wife and children." Luo Wenchuan's voice was devoid of any emotion. The word "father" had always been a foreign concept to him. His arrival meant that Luo Huaishan was an heir, an accomplice who would continue his crimes.
He didn't want to be an appendage of Luo Huaishan; he wanted to be himself.
"you……"
Before Luo Huaishan could say anything more, something flew over.
It was a short, thin arrow that flew like it was piercing through the clouds, and before anyone could react, it pierced Luo Wenchuan's abdomen.
"You want to die? No way!" Luo Huaishan tried to pull the arrow out of Luo Wenchuan's body, but Luo Wenchuan grabbed the arrow first and plunged it deep into his body.
In an instant, Luo Wenchuan bent over and lay in a pool of blood.
Almost instantly, gunshots rang out, and Luo Huaishan, who had lost his hostage, was shot through the shoulder.
Luo Wenchuan strained to open his eyes and saw the person he was holding not far away. He smiled slightly.
The trusted men swarmed forward, and the sounds of voices and ambulances filled the air.
Song Ling stood there, stunned, as the item in her hand gradually slipped to the ground.
He saw Luo Wenchuan being carried onto a stretcher, his thin lips slightly parted, as if he wanted to say something.
Song Ling walked over, and Luo Wenchuan was already in tears.
"Brother Ling, I..."
"Save your energy for the surgery." Song Ling didn't say much, and after giving the instructions, she helped the medical staff lift the stretcher into the ambulance.
The spot he chose wasn't fatal; it would only render Luo Wenchuan, the hostage, immobile. But Luo Wenchuan's action of plunging the arrow deep into his abdomen threw him into complete disarray.
He was helpless against the man's occasional childishness, but at that moment, he knew very well that he did not want to lose Luo Wenchuan.

Chapter 63
? Chapter 63
Luo Wenchuan was the most treacherous ship he had ever been on in his life.
Luo Wenchuan's surgery lasted for nearly five hours, and the informed consent form for the blood transfusion was signed by Luo Shupei, his nominal elder brother.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Chen. Although the arrow that Luo Wenchuan was shot with did not pierce his internal organs, the operation was still extremely dangerous due to excessive blood loss.
Only Luo Shupei and Xiao Qian were waiting outside the operating room. When Luo Wenchuan was CEO of Fengxing, he was greeted by many people wherever he went, but now, at this critical moment of life and death, there were very few people to accompany him.
Xiao Qian stared at the closed operating room door, her voice trembling as she asked the person in the wheelchair, "Will President Luo die?"
Luo Shupei looked at the operating room door and said coldly, "He can't bear to."
"You can't bear to part with it?"
"Um."
Luo Shupei hadn't spent much time with Luo Wenchuan over the years, but his intuition told him that this man wouldn't die so easily. He hadn't died when he was wandering the streets, struggling for food with dogs, so he certainly wouldn't now.
Song Ling is still alive, and Jiang Ran's remains are missing. Luo Wenchuan will not die willingly.
.
When Luo Wenchuan woke up, he glanced around the ward and saw that only Luo Shupei was there. He then lowered his eyes in disappointment.
"Are you disappointed to see it's me?" Luo Shupei moved her wheelchair closer to the hospital bed and said to Luo Wenchuan, "Your Alpha is handling the aftermath with his trusted team. You should really thank him; if it weren't for his arrow, you would have died."
They would either die at the hands of his trusted men or at the hands of Luo Huaishan. Song Ling was clever and had some experience in rescuing hostages.
Luo Wenchuan glanced at Luo Shupei but didn't say anything. He never had much desire to talk to anyone other than Song Ling.
"You need to change your quiet nature; after all, no one likes a mute," Luo Shupei couldn't help but tease.
Upon hearing this, Luo Wenchuan didn't even look at it anymore and buried his face in the blanket.
Seeing Luo Wenchuan's cold attitude, Luo Shupei said to him again, "Right now you're in the hospital, and I'm the only one by your side. Aren't you going to be a little kinder to me?"
He wore a seemingly gentle, faint smile as his gaze fell on the person who had wrapped himself up like a cocoon. The light streaming in from the window cast a warm glow on Luo Shupei, but it did not add a single trace of warmth to his words.
Luo Wenchuan took these words to heart. He pulled back the covers and looked at Luo Shupei, saying, "If you can be quiet for a while, I will be kind to you."
Luo Wenchuan disliked Luo Shupei, and this aversion was evident from the fact that Luo Shupei constantly instilled in him the idea that inferior Omegas were inferior to others.
Luo Shupei is an elite who was raised by Luo Huaishan. Although he is not as ruthless as Luo Huaishan, his thinking is essentially the same as Luo Huaishan's.
Before learning his Enigma identity, Luo Wenchuan was extremely self-conscious, which was inseparable from Luo Shupei's constant instilling of this hierarchical mindset in him.
Seeing his cold attitude, Luo Shupei couldn't help but say, "Sometimes I wonder why you do all this. Luo Huaishan is gone, and Fengxing won't become yours. Without financial power, how long can you keep that Alpha by your side?"
Luo Shupei felt that Luo Wenchuan lacked a sense of priorities. Luo Huaishan needed a perfect successor, and Enigma, represented by Luo Wenchuan, was undoubtedly the most suitable. If Luo Wenchuan could maintain his pretense for longer, the entire Fengxing would eventually fall into his hands.
Now that this person has joined forces with his cronies and selflessly arrested Luo Huaishan, Fengxing will definitely be completely reorganized, just like the Lin family before it. In the end, it will become a company directly controlled by the empire, and no one will benefit from it.
With the collapse of the building, Luo Wenchuan lost his reputation and status along with it. What a thankless task; why bother?
Luo Wenchuan did not answer the question. He was very displeased by Luo Shupei's mention of "that Alpha." Song Ling was Song Ling, a unique person in this world, not "that Alpha." His significance in the world could not be summarized by the words "top-tier Alpha."
"I don't want Luo Huaishan's things. I want the truth to come out, and I want my mother's remains to be properly buried." Luo Wenchuan said stubbornly, which was his belief in living ever since he became conscious.
Upon hearing this, Luo Shupei couldn't help but sigh: "You're really becoming more and more like that Alpha."
