Between life and death [unlimited]

If there is any member of the family who will feel happy after Fernand Blades returns, the answer is undoubtedly Blades' wife, the mother of Fernand and Jacques—Jacques Lynn Blades.

Originally, Blades and Jacqueline had received news that their eldest son might be back in the evening, but after dinner last night, it suddenly rained so hard that Jacqueline thought she would be there I won't be able to see my son until tomorrow, but unexpectedly, Fernan finally rushed back.

When Jacqueline hurried down from the upstairs, when she saw her eldest son Fernand, although his whole body was drenched by the rain, Jacqueline rushed over without hesitation and threw He just hugged himself, the eldest son who had been away for half a year and finally came back from the front line.

"...Fernan, my child, you are finally back..." Jacqueline, who was nearly forty years old, was lying in her son's arms, but she looked so weak, and her well-maintained delicate face It makes her look like a fragile butterfly growing in a greenhouse and never experiencing any twists and turns.

She was hit hard by the kidnapping of her youngest son before. When she saw her eldest son come back, the big rock in her heart that had been hanging in her heart seemed to disappear in an instant.

The old Blades also walked forward with some excitement, and he patted Fernanby's broad shoulders that were obviously much stronger before, and said with a loud smile: "As expected of a man from my Blades family! After experiencing the baptism of war, Fernan, my good son, your body has indeed become much stronger!"

Hearing a series of excited words from his family, Fernan just rolled his eyes a little slowly, looking at his parents who surrounded him.However, he didn't make any answer, and from the beginning to the end, he slightly pursed his lips that looked bloodless due to the cold.

Jacqueline stretched out her hands again, and gently stroked Fernand's resolute and pale face. From the loose skin on her hands, her true age could be glimpsed indirectly.

She felt the cold from her fingertips, and hurriedly asked the maids to fetch a clean coat, and asked Fernan concerned: "My dear boy, is it raining heavily outside? Are you cold now?" Cold? Why is the temperature on your skin so cold?"

"...It's okay." Fernan finally spoke, and said the first sentence after he entered the room.But his voice sounded a little hoarse and vague, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Then Fernand looked at his wife standing behind his parents, noticing the faint tears in Isabella's watery eyes, he walked directly past his parents to his wife before.

Fernan suddenly lowered his head, and whispered to his wife again, "Isabella, I... I'm finally home..."

The young couple, who were forced to separate shortly after their wedding, finally saw their beloved each other again on this stormy night after half a year.Under the newly repaired warm light in the room, they hugged each other tightly as if they were the hero and heroine in the movie, and they hugged each other and wept because of the joy of reunion.

Because it was already late last night after Fernan came back, everyone didn't spend too much time chatting. Jacqueline also urged the young couple to return to the house early, hoping that her eldest son who came from afar able to rest well.

It was also Jacqueline's rare good night's sleep since the days when Jacques was kidnapped.

After having breakfast in her room, Jacqueline asked the maids to tidy herself up briefly, and then she came to Fernand and Isabella's room.But her daughter-in-law didn't stay in the room as she imagined.

Jacqueline couldn't help wondering in her heart: Strange... It stands to reason that "Xiao Bie wins the newlyweds", why is Isabella still able to wake up so early today?

Finally, Jacqueline saw Isabella walking aimlessly in the garden downstairs.

"Isabella, why did you get up so early today? Did you have breakfast downstairs with Fernan?" Jacqueline asked.

Isabella nodded honestly when she heard her mother's question, and said, "Yes, I had breakfast with my father and Fernand."

"Last night...Fernan, did you two go to bed early?" Jacqueline asked again.She thought to herself that this question should not be an embarrassing topic. As a good mother (motherinlaw), she must take good care of every aspect of Isabella.

The clever Isabella naturally understood the meaning hidden in Jacqueline's words.Although she is a woman in the new era, a touching blush immediately appeared on her cheeks when she heard this, "Fernan may be too tired...so, we took a rest as soon as we got back to the house... ..."

Jacqueline didn't answer the call either.Anyway, Fernan has now returned from the battlefield, and this young couple will spend more time together in the future.

However, Isabella recalled the time when the two of them were alone last night, and took the initiative to whisper to Jacqueline: "But, mother... I feel that after Fernan returned from the battlefield, something seemed wrong..."

"Huh?" Jacqueline asked suspiciously, "Yisha, what do you mean?" After seeing her son last night, she didn't feel anything changed in Fernan?

At this moment, Isabella suddenly leaned close to Jacqueline's ear, not letting the servants around her hear her, and whispered to her: "Last night, Fernan didn't even take off his clothes to sleep..."

"Did you take off your clothes?" After hearing that, Jacqueline also felt a little strange: "You mean, Fernan has been wearing that wet clothes?"

"That's not true." Isabella immediately denied: "After we entered the house, I first asked him to change the clothes that were soaked in the rain, but he didn't change in front of me, but went to The bathroom outside. Then, Fernan slept in a shirt with a stand-up collar, and he didn't change into the pajamas I gave him..."

"Mother, do you think Fernan hasn't seen me for a long time, so...he's not used to living in the same room with me..."

In fact, Jacqueline was also very puzzled, but she couldn't talk about what to do with Isabella, so she secretly decided to ask her son for a while.So, she comforted Isabella and said, "Isabella, don't take this matter to heart, Fernan has always had such a cold temper since he was a child. Don't look at him on the surface, he is cold to everyone, but he I must have you in my heart, otherwise she couldn't have run over and hugged you as soon as she came back last night, right...don't worry, I'll have a good talk with him later. "

Isabella thought of the two hugging in front of many people last night, and she really felt better, "Good mother. But you don't have to tell Fernand too much, I'm just talking to you casually. Fei Ernan just came back, after all... After all, we haven't seen each other for half a year, and it's normal to feel a little strange now."

"My dear child." Jacqueline hugged Isabella lovingly, and said with relief, "Thank you for being so considerate of Fernand..."

When Jacqueline found her son, Fernan was in a study on the second floor, and her husband, Blades, happened to be with their son.However, apart from Blades and Fernan, the butler Ethan and another bodyguard who seemed to be called "Claude" were also present.

The four of them were gathered around the desk in the middle of the room at this time, looking at them, they seemed to be discussing something just now.After seeing Jacqueline coming in, Blades first asked his wife, "Jacqueline, what are you doing here?"

Noticing the presence of people other than her own family, Jacqueline immediately changed her mind and replied: "I have nothing to do, sir. If you are discussing matters, I will go out first and not disturb you."

When Jacqueline walked out and was still thinking about what the four of them would discuss, she suddenly remembered that today was just that special day!

After seeing his wife back out and close the door for them, Blades resumed talking about the interrupted topic.

He took out the torn letter from the desk, and spread it out, and the contents of the letter were fully displayed in front of everyone in the room.

Jiang Lai glanced up calmly, and his super-clear eyesight happened to see the content printed out by the printer above—"The three-day deadline has come, I hope you have abided by our agreement these days. Jacques is safe and alive now, and if you send someone this afternoon to drive that munition up to the second summit of Mount Cargil, your son Jacques Blades will be able to return safely to your home. Go to the manor. Please note that you can only send one person to drive a truck full of gas, and this person is not allowed to carry any weapons or communication equipment."

Today is the last day for players to enter the mission world, and it is also the key for them to complete the mission "Rescue Jacques".

"According to the investigation situation we have sent a large number of people, the possibility that we want to find Jacques by ourselves is very slim now..." Blades suddenly said, his voice sounded a bit heavy: "Actually, I also expected this result I have been there, after all, they want the important munitions we have on hand, and Jacques will definitely be hidden by them in a place where no one can find them. But I think this just shows that at least Jacques should still be alive now."

"Claude..." Blades suddenly called Jiang Shang's name.

Jiang Lai immediately looked at the NPC in this mission world, waiting patiently for Blades to tell him his next deployment.

Sure enough, in the next second, Blades told them directly about his arrangements for this afternoon.

"According to the kidnappers' request, we need to drive the truck with the munitions to the location they designated this afternoon." Blades also looked at Jiang Shi at this time, and there seemed to be something in his eyes. Prairie flames.

He only heard his voice sonorously said: "Claude, I hope you will be responsible for completing this task!"

【Ding!Friendly reminder from the system: Players should follow the NPC's advice~]

A reminder that the system doesn't know if it's a genuine friendship suddenly popped up in my ear, but Jiang Xun didn't hesitate much, and agreed directly: "Okay."

In fact, even if there was no such system prompt, Jiang Xun would have agreed without hesitation just now.This kind of errand can be seen at a glance to mean a lot of mission-critical information, so Jiang Xun will find a way to do it no matter what.

Other players may feel hesitant when encountering such a branch line that needs to be completed independently, but Jiang Shui has already performed many such joint-like tasks in the real world before, or this kind of The simple task of meeting is a breeze for him-it's just that the purpose of his previous missions was not like the present one, to rescue the hostages, but the bloody violence that could not be written on the surface.

After hearing Jiang Lai's affirmative answer, Blades said again: "You are the best bodyguard under my command, so I will ask you to drive the things over in the afternoon, and I wish you a smooth rescue. Jacques. But..."

Just halfway through Blades's speech, his voice suddenly changed, and he added: "But Claude, you should know that I can't just 'hand over' that batch of munitions... So, this afternoon, you drive there What we have is a batch of fake munitions that we have prepared."

Speaking of this, Blades looked at Jiang Xun again, fixed his eyes on him every word, and said clearly: "We will also install a bug with positioning on you later, as long as you can Once the kidnapper tells Jacques' location, our people will rush over to rescue Jacques immediately. At that time, you may have to find a way to hold the kidnapper here..."

This task sounds very difficult, if it is done, it will definitely face more difficulties.No wonder the system gave such a "friendship" reminder just now, urging the player to take over the task - as expected, the system still retains the same bad taste as before.

However, Jiang Xun is now "debt is not worrying", if he doesn't rescue Jacques himself, the lives of these players may not be guaranteed much.Therefore, even after Jiang Lai heard about Blades' arrangement, he did not raise any objections.

Time soon came to this afternoon.

Under the worried gaze of members of the Blades family, Jiang Lai slowly drove the truck with the fake ammunition out of the gate of the manor.

For the operation that will be carried out in a while, Jiang Lai's heart has not fluctuated much, but when he thinks that he is actually the one in charge of rescuing the hostages, at most he will feel a little uncomfortable subconsciously—after all, Jiang Lai's previous experience His occupation meant that he could only be on the side of the kidnappers and gangsters.

The players also made corresponding arrangements according to Blades' deployment: the rest of the players went to wait on the top of the second mountain of Kargil Mountain early to ensure that they or Blades' side could successfully rescue them. Out Jacques.

Don't think that this job is easy. Apart from avoiding the sight of the kidnappers, these players also need to be careful not to be discovered by the people on Brades's side. Generally speaking, their workload is no worse than that of Jiang Lai. How much simpler.

Therefore, James and the others hid their bodies on a relatively remote mountain at this time, experiencing the wet soil that had just rained last night and was not completely dry, and whizzed past them from time to time. It was a violent and evil wind that wanted to knock off the skulls on top of the players' heads.

Among the remaining four, Lanchester, who had the best eyesight, let go of it and covered himself after seeing a medium-sized truck covered with a tarpaulin slowly driving into the mountain path in the distance. The right hand in the hair patted James beside him, and whispered to them: "Jiang Shui is coming in..."

Although he only let go of his right hand for a moment, Lanchester felt that his scalp was about to be blown off. In order to protect his rare thick hair, Lanchester had to immediately shave himself His hand pressed up again.

"Okay, everyone is ready to pay attention at any time..." James just opened his mouth and was blown into his belly by the demon wind, but he could only complain in a buzzing voice: "F**K, is this about to blow a tornado... ..."

While the players were troubled by the evil wind, Jiang Lie had already driven the truck to the location requested by the kidnappers.

But he didn't see anyone there.

So Jiang Lai parked the truck in a fairly flat place, did not turn off the car completely, and then he got out of the carriage.

Jiang Lai noticed that the terrain here was very steep, and he didn't really understand why the group of kidnappers set the transfer point here.Anyway, for the organization that Jiang Lai was in before, it is generally better to choose a location that extends in all directions for this kind of handover, because it will make it easier for the kidnappers to drive away after getting the things.

After briefly turning around a few times, he still couldn't find any human figure.Jiang Xun couldn't help wondering in his heart: Don't these kidnappers plan to make a deal?

Because of the requirements of the kidnappers, Jiang Lai did not carry a communication tool that could be used to communicate with the Blades family - the bug with positioning function could not allow him to communicate with others.If the kidnappers changed their location temporarily, Jiang Xun really had no chance to know such a thing.

Just as Jiang Lai walked back to the front of the car again, his sensitive ears suddenly caught a trace of footsteps behind him in the frantic wind.But he didn't say anything, just pretended not to hear, intending to continue his previous trajectory.

Just a few steps out this time, Jiang Xun felt a cold and hard object suddenly pressed against his waist. Even without looking back, he could guess that it was a black metal weapon he used to use.

"Raise your hands up." Behind Jiang Xun's ears came a faint reminder, which was not a kind reminder, it should be a man's voice: "Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen in a while..."

Because the current situation is not clear, Jiang Lai had no choice but to obediently follow what this person said.This man was also very cautious. After Jiang Li raised his hand, he quickly searched Jiang Fei's whole body, but found no weapons or tools that he was not allowed to carry.

So soon, the man made another request: "You... sit on the co-pilot right now."

Jiang Lai thought that this person would ask to inspect the batch of munitions. When he was thinking about how to deal with this difficult problem and how to get the words out of this person's mouth, he did not expect that this person would not follow the routine.

This is completely different from what they expected before...

Seeing that Jiang Xun didn't act immediately, the man handed the gun to Jiang Xun's waist and threatened impatiently: "Hurry up! Sit in the co-pilot for me!"

So Jiang Lai had no choice but to carry his own doubts, and got into the truck with that man.
