Chapter 135: Chapter 135: The Time Has Come for You to Fulfill the Third Obligation of the Group Members

As long as Chen Dandan made a request, it was agreed to.

The scene, aside from the undispersed dust and a large pit opened by the blast, was now clear of the injured, including Fang Xiaomei.

Mr. Qian had also been taken away from here, despite his reluctance, he still had to cooperate.

Members of the commune, who had heard the commotion from afar, were also strictly ordered to quickly return to their homes.

For a moment, the entrance of the Xiaxi Commune was engulfed in an atmosphere of panic and alarm. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

At this time, Qiao Tianbao looked terrified, his face filled with disbelief and incomprehension. How could this happen? How could such a thing occur so suddenly?

He had not expected it at all, nor was he mentally prepared. Even now, his mind was still in complete disarray. His sister had been taken hostage, and her life was likely in danger. If that were truly the case, there was no need for him to even think of returning alive to the Qiao Family Team.

But two public security officers nearby did not allow him to speak or move, pinning him next to a tree by the warehouse.

They warned him in a low voice that if he yelled and screamed here, he might bring danger to Qiao Qingyu.

Qiao Tianbao felt ice-cold all over, yet he was sweating profusely. He struggled to support himself against the tree.

He was filled with regret. If only he had acted faster earlier and taken his sister away sooner, none of this mess would have happened.

What kind of a godforsaken place was this?

It was truly terrifying!

"Don’t worry, your sister won’t be in danger," said a public security officer beside him, trying to calm him down in a low voice.

Qiao Tianbao clenched his fists tightly. The doors of the commune’s warehouse had already been closed, everyone inside, including Accountant Zhang, who still had no idea what had taken place. But he had heard the faint sound of an explosion earlier. Could it have been an earthquake?

Yet if it were an earthquake, why were they being kept in the warehouse? Everyone should have been let out.

Some members of the commune were discussing, but a public security guard at the door sternly scolded them, forbidding any whispering or chattering. At this moment, people’s sense of alertness and caution was very high; they knew for sure that something had happened, so they all kept their mouths shut. Accountant Zhang, being an outsider, was even more at a loss on where to begin asking.

But with public security officers both inside and outside the door, they all felt much safer.

Meanwhile, behind the warehouse, at the base of the mountain wall, because He Xiuyu had taken a step forward, Chen Dandan’s voice sharply warned, "He Xiuyu, don’t test my patience. One more step from you, and we’ll all perish together."

Qiao Qingyu softly reminded her, "Chen Dandan, you went through so much trouble just to see that woman, didn’t you? Are you willing to die without having seen her?"

"Shut up, no talking!" Chen Dandan harshly scolded Qiao Qingyu.

He Xiuyu indeed stopped moving forward and remained standing in his spot, finally setting his gaze on Qiao Qingyu’s face.

And Qiao Qingyu once again caught his eye.

Qiao Qingyu looked steadily at He Xiuyu. She wanted to tell He Xiuyu to take everyone and leave quickly. She didn’t plan to continue this standoff with Chen Dandan.

Qiao Qingyu had learned self-defense and knew the human body’s numbing acupoints. So, she knew that what Chen Dandan had said was no lie—she had received special training. Chen Dandan had also learned medicine, as the hand currently restraining her was gripping tightly onto the numbing acupoint on her arm.

Qiao Qingyu now felt like the blood flow was being impeded in half of her body.

Her entire right hand went limp, hanging down powerlessly. If she risked everything, she could enter her space.

But the prerequisite was that these people must leave her line of sight.

In truth, Qiao Qingyu felt that Chen Dandan was making a poor move. She didn’t need to do this at all.

There must have been other ways for her to successfully meet her sister.

What puzzled her even more was, after meeting her sister, then what?

Even if she learned that the woman was her sister, what would Chen Dandan do next?

Suddenly, Qiao Qingyu felt a chill run through her body. Chen Dandan wouldn’t let her go; before she was of no use anymore, she would keep Qiao Qingyu hostage until she escaped to a safe place.

And Chen Dandan might not be alone; at this moment, her accomplices were no doubt somewhere out there.

So when He Xiuyu planned to exchange himself for her just moments ago, he must have also considered this possibility.

But before Qiao Qingyu could speak, she heard He Xiuyu’s calm voice, cold and indifferent.

"Qiao Qingyu, you’re a Youth League member, aren’t you? Did you take the oath when you joined?"

Qiao Qingyu looked puzzledly at He Xiuyu and instinctively nodded, "I took the oath."

He Xiuyu’s voice was rational yet merciless as he stated a fact.

"Comrade Qiao Qingyu, Chen Dandan will not let you go. She will hold you hostage until her goals are met. So now, it’s time for you to fulfill the third obligation of a Youth League member!"

Qiao Qingyu stared blankly at He Xiuyu, unclear about what he meant by his words.

Chen Dandan, too, looked at He Xiuyu with surprise and uncertainty. She was also a Youth League member and knew the constitution and rules like the back of her hand to make her identity more credible.

The third clause?

What was it again?

Suddenly, Chen Dandan’s pupils shrank as she hesitated for a few seconds.

And within those seconds, He Xiuyu raised his hand and shot with an incredible speed.

If time could slow down at this moment, the trajectory of the bullet would be clearly visible.

It was very precise, very perfect.

Passing under Qiao Qingyu’s armpit, it accurately hit Chen Dandan’s elbow joint.

With a muffled bang, Qiao Qingyu’s ears started ringing.

He Xiuyu shouted, "Qiao Qingyu, get down!"

And he rushed towards Qiao Qingyu and Chen Dandan like a fierce wind.

Qiao Qingyu didn’t catch what He Xiuyu yelled, but she instinctively crouched down.

In the blink of an eye, Qiao Qingyu, now crouching on the ground, felt several dark figures rush past her. Then she was pulled up by a pair of strong hands and enveloped in a tight embrace.

"I’m sorry... I scared you..." a firm voice sounded overhead.

Qiao Qingyu hadn’t been in contact with He Xiuyu for a long time, but after living under the same roof for more than a month, she was familiar with the faint scent of herbs that lingered on him.

The man who spoke, He Xiuyu, had a slightly hoarse voice with an almost imperceptible tremble.

Qiao Qingyu’s blank mind finally started to regain clarity bit by bit.

She gently pushed He Xiuyu away. By then, Chen Dandan was pinned to the ground in an armlock position by three policemen and a guard, her weapons confiscated.

Director Lin personally dismantled the explosives strapped to her body.

Chen Dandan’s elbow joint had been shattered, the handgun had dropped to the ground, and naturally, she couldn’t reach for the detonator of the explosives anymore.

Police cars were approaching.

Qiao Qingyu looked on with a somewhat dazed and hollow gaze at everything unfolding before her.

Then, she turned to He Xiuyu, who stood beside her with a look of anxious concern.

Suddenly, Qiao Qingyu lifted a foot and, with all the strength in her body, kicked toward He Xiuyu...
