Chapter 362: Unrestricted

Mu You placed a video call to Grandma; the screen instantly showed Grandma's worried face.

"Baby!" the voice on the other end trembled, "How are you? Are you hurt anywhere? Let Grandma take a good look!"

Mu Youyu smiled at her, "Grandma, I'm fine, I was just resting."

Not far away, the anxiously pacing Grandfather heard the voice, hurriedly stepped forward to crowd into the frame, his whole face leaning in, eyes anxious.

"Eh, what happened to your hand? You're still hurt! How is that nothing?!"

Jiang Liangjin nearby heard the voice, politely greeted the two elders in the screen, and slowed his speech to explain.

After hearing that, Grandma gave Grandpa a hard pat, caught her breath, then leaned close to the screen to scrutinize her granddaughter, "You scared Grandma to death……that bunch of bastards, daring to hurt my precious……"

"Don't worry, Grandma, I'm really okay." Mu Youyu coaxed her, turning the screen to the people beside her, "A Jin and the brothers are all here."

Grandfather also anxiously followed up: "Really, nothing at all?"

"Really, Grandfather, I promise."

Grandma let out a breath, finally putting half her mind at ease, and asked: "When are you coming back?"

Several people hearing this fell silent.

Mu Youyu also froze for a moment, looking toward Mu Xin.

Mu Xin understood, stepped forward, and said, "Grandma, we'll check in again in a few days; we might also swing by Y Guo to see Grandfather."

"Good good good!" Grandma immediately nodded repeatedly upon hearing that, finally showing a hint of a smile, "Your grandfather happens to be going to Y Guo in a few days; then we'll be able to meet."

Grandfather's complexion also improved a bit: "I've already contacted Xun Li and his team to get moving on those people; the domestic bunch behind them will be investigated by your uncles."

Mu Youyu felt warm inside, and softly said, "Grandfather, Grandma, you've worked hard; don't overexert yourselves—taking care of yourselves is what matters most……"

"Nonsense! Looking after my granddaughter is what's most important."

The two chatted on for half an hour, while nobody else stepped forward to interrupt.

Until Song Yusui couldn't help but move forward, waving at the camera, "Grandpa, Grandma, why won't you talk to me? I'm about to die of heartbreak."

Grandma glared at him, "You brat! Did you hear to take good care of your sister?"

"Got it, got it, I'll make sure to finish the task!" Song Yusui gave a salute, "If there's nothing else we'll just take the sister out for a stroll, won't bother you guys, bye~"

After hanging up, Mu Youyu called Grandfather again to report she was safe, chatted a few lines, then hung up.

She returned the phone to Mu Xin, then reached out to Jiang Liangjin, who immediately handed over his own phone.

Mu Youyu skillfully switched her WeChat account, and upon logging in was flooded with private messages and group chat notifications.

They were all greetings from relatives, friends, and classmates, all asking about her condition.

She first replied one by one to the elders, the other brothers, her parents, and close friends Lin Ning, Gu Xingnan, Yu Ci, Bai Yun, and Feng Cen.

Only then did she reply one by one to the family group and class group messages.

After replying to the last one, Mu Youyu put away her phone, scanned the crowd, and asked, "Where are Cousin Sister and Brother Xianqi?"

When she returned, she had seen Mu Xianyan once, then never again.

Mu Xi explained, "Brother Qi and Qing Wei went to handle matters."

Song Yusui chimed in, "Yan Yan is probably in the garden outside; should I go call her in?"

Mu Youyu pondered a moment, sat up straight, and said, "No need; staying indoors is a bit dull, let's go out together for a stroll."

The younger sister had just been frightened; the brothers wanted to distract her, naturally going along with her, and all agreed.

Jiang Liangjin grabbed the coat at hand, helped her put it on, and said, "Let's go."

M Guo Police Headquarters.

The director's office door was tightly shut, with only four people inside.

Qing Wei, Ruo Ya, and Mu Xianqi sat upright there, each with different expressions, gazing at the director behind the desk.

It had been a full hour since Z Country military personnel came and took away the suspect.

The director still held in his hand the handover document that had just been signed not long ago, his complexion still complicated, with lingering shock in his eyes.

The bright red seal stamped on the document made him feel even now that it was somewhat unreal.

Z Country Military Special Operations Directorate.

That seal, he had seen only once before, on documents from an international joint exercise.

Recalling the scene from an hour ago, the director still felt a lingering dread.

An hour ago, the two people standing opposite—one man, one woman—were both in uniform, their whole bodies exuding the cold, battle‑worn aura of veteran soldiers.

The woman stepped forward, took the document, carefully checked it once over, confirmed it was correct, and gave her companion a glance.

The man's gaze swept over the director, devoid of any emotion, "The person, we've taken him."

"If cooperation is needed later, someone will contact you."

At that time the director had long lost his bearings, merely nodding repeatedly, opening his mouth wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

Only after the two figures disappeared out the door did he slowly sit back in his chair and let out a long breath.

That period just now was practically the strangest moment of his career.

First came a phone call; the caller claimed to be from Z Country's military, saying they wanted to transfer a batch of suspects.

He thought it was a scam call and almost hung up.

As it turned out, the caller gave a code name, and he froze on the spot.

That code name, he had seen only once before in internal classified documents, with a note that read only one sentence: 【Seeing this code is like seeing Z Country's supreme military command system; no verification needed, cooperate immediately】

Soon after, in less than ten minutes, the people arrived.

Two of them, without any extra words, directly showed the transfer order and credentials.

The photo on the credentials matched the person, and the permit on the order was written in four characters: 【Unrestricted】

Unrestricted.

The director had worked in M Guo's police force for half a lifetime, and this was the first time he had seen such an order.

He tried to contact his superiors for instructions, but the superiors' secretary only replied with one sentence: "Do as they say, don't ask anything."

Thus, he just watched helplessly as that batch of kidnappers was taken away.

The ones responsible for staying behind to guard the suspect were subordinates sent by Qing Wei.

Several people personally saw the director directly let them go, each one stunned.

Someone came to their senses, hurriedly turned around and went to report the situation to Qing Wei...

Thus, Qing Wei, Ruo Ya, and Mu Xianqi came here.

The director finished explaining in detail, then pushed the documents toward the several people: "Your Highness Qing Wei, the situation is just like this, we don't know who the other party is..."

Mu Xianqi's gaze fell on the seal, his eyes flickering slightly.
