Chapter 354

As the thought fell, the leader lunged wildly toward Mu Youyu.

Jiang Liangjin reacted almost instinctively, and at the instant the leader moved, he pulled the person in his arms tighter behind him.

Song Ze'er's reaction was even faster.

He raised his wrist, pulled the trigger, in one smooth motion.

"Bang!"

The bullet struck the leader's other arm precisely.

The leader cried out, his legs gave way, he stumbled forward and fell hard to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Dust flew, smearing his face with a miserable look.

The leader's arms lost all strength; he couldn't even hold a hostage, let alone push himself up from the ground, 'Damn it…'

Seeing the leader taken down, the kidnappers panicked, 'When did the leader become this weak? We should have listened to you and fled earlier!'

"Saying that now is useless; there are surely more of them outside!"

The next second, the warehouse's dilapidated door was kicked open with a bang.

Blinding red and white police lights flooded in instantly, turning the dark warehouse into daylight.

Dozens of officers in M Guo police uniforms, fully armed, surged forward, guns trained on all the kidnappers, 'Don't move! Drop your weapons!'

"Everyone, hands on heads, squat down! Otherwise we'll shoot immediately!"

The leader lay on the ground, clutching his bleeding arms tightly.

The leader looked at the scene before him, then at the fallen chief, finally raising his hands slowly, voice defeated: '…Don't resist any longer.'

Seeing the boss surrender, the remaining kidnappers exchanged glances, then silently raised their hands and submitted to arrest.

The officers moved in, handcuffed everyone behind their backs, and led them out of the warehouse one by one.

The situation was over.

Qing An's golden eyes lost their hostility bit by bit, and he tossed his gun to the guard.

He hurried to Jiang Liangjin's side, looking at his sister's pale face, voice tense: 'Are you hurt anywhere?'

Mu Youyu shook her head lightly, 'Qing An brother, I'm fine, who were those people?'

Qing An gave a cold snort, a hint of severity flashing between his brows, 'You might have to ask Qing Wei about that.'

?

Seeing the atmosphere was a bit delicate, Song Ze'er stepped forward, 'Miss, I'm late and frightened you.'

"It's not your fault," Mu Youyu said, shaking her head slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes, "How did you come over? Are Xiao Wu and the others okay?"

A few days ago they came to M Guo, while Song Ze'er and Song Ze'er stayed domestically to help with Mu Xin's company affairs, so they didn't come along.

"They're all fine, young lady, rest assured," Song Ze'er replied quickly, his self‑blame easing a little.

"I won a bet with Xiao Er; he voluntarily took over all the follow‑up matters, so I came to find you."

Mu Youyu gave a soft reply, said no more, and wearily leaned into Jiang Liangjin's embrace.

"Let's go out," Jiang Liangjin said, seeing the conversation end, and turned while holding her.

He didn't want her to stay here another second.

Outside the door, several figures stood in the wind and snow, their fingers icy cold.

Although most of them had been listening via monitors along the way, confirming the sister was unharmed, every face still showed panic, and their hearts had been suspended the whole journey.

Mu Xi stood at the front, his gaze fixed on the warehouse exit, praying silently for safety over and over.

Behind him, the bodyguard struggled to hold an umbrella for him, but the wind and snow still soaked his clothes.

Behind him, Mu Xin had his hands in his coat pockets; his usually composed face showed an uncommonly obvious agitation.

Mu Xianqi and Ruo Ya had just arrived to discuss matters when they received a family emergency message and learned that the sister had been kidnapped.

He practically raced here, running several red lights along the way; his face remained deathly pale, his whole body trembling with lingering fear.

Song Lujing, Song Yusui, and Song Yan's faces grew worse one after another.

Song Lujing felt full of self‑reproach; if he had known, he wouldn't have dragged those two into an all‑night gaming session.

Seeing the group being pressed out by the police, he finally relaxed a little.

The next second, the sister's figure came into view, and everyone's eyes were drawn to her.

Jiang Liangjin held Mu Youyu and stepped out of the light, step by step.

The sister shrank in his embrace, unconsciousness and injury absent, completely intact.

Everyone's tense bodies relaxed at once.

Mu Youyu lifted her eyes slightly, her blurry gaze sweeping over the familiar figures outside, finally settling on Mu Xi at the front.

From childhood, among her brothers, she had spent the most time with her second brother, Mu Xi.

For almost anything, besides Jiang Liangjin, the first person she'd think of finding was always her second brother.

At that moment, seeing her second brother standing in the wind and snow, his eyes full of heartache for her, Mu Youyu could no longer hold back the moisture in her eyes, which surged up.

Her voice trembling with tears, she called out softly, 'Second brother, they were so scary…'

No matter what, she was still just a girl on the verge of sixteen.

Mu Xi stepped forward with a big stride, took the sister from Jiang Liangjin's arms, and held her securely.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother's here, it's okay, everything's okay," Mu Xi said in a hoarse voice, patting her back over and over, his heartache beyond words.

The other brothers also gathered around, murmuring softly to comfort her.

Qing An followed behind, silent, his gaze directed at Qing Wei standing under a tree not far away; he lifted his foot and walked over slowly, a low pressure surrounding him.

Mu Xin forced out a soothing smile, his voice soft: 'The doctor is already waiting in the car; let's go over for a check‑up, okay?'

Mu Youyu knew she was only frightened and a bit light‑headed; to reassure everyone, she still gave a slight nod, 'Okay.'

Jiang Liangjin watched as she was taken away by her brothers, frozen on the spot, his strength seemingly drained.

At the moment he heard that Youbao had been kidnapped, after living so many years, he hated his own powerlessness for the first time.

He wished it were himself who had been bound.

Jiang Liangjin suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, took out his phone, and tremblingly dialed the number of his third uncle, Jiang Yuan.

At the same time, on the helipad of the M Guo Imperial Palace, a private jet that had just landed came to a stop at the M Guo Imperial Palace.

Mu Xianyan lifted her luggage and quickly walked down the gangway.

She hadn't seen her sister in a long time; this time she had been specially summoned back by Mu Xianqi, and she could keep her sister company.

But as soon as she pressed the phone's power button, Mu Xianyan felt as if the sky had collapsed.

Sister, in M Guo, has been kidnapped!
