Chapter 3 I Dare You

• Bai Rong wasted no time and cut open the pregnant woman's pants with a pair of scissors.
• The baby's legs were already coming out.
• There was no time to perform a caesarean section.
• The baby would suffocate if they waited any longer.
• “It hurts. You need to hold it.” Bai Rong injected her with the anesthetic and made a cut.
• The anesthetic had not yet taken effect fully.
• The pregnant woman felt the pain and shouted, “You b****, I'm going to sue you! You'll lose your job as a doctor!”
• “You can sue me after the baby is born safely. I'll be waiting.” Bai Rong said indifferently.
• She finally delivered the baby smoothly, and cut off the umbilical cord neatly.
• “Wah...... Wah!” The baby cried loudly.
• Bai Rong let out a smile of relief as she looked at the pregnant woman.
• The woman had already fainted.
• Bai Rong frowned. She quickly put the baby down and checked on the woman.
• “Officer!” She cried out worriedly.
• Gu Mingchen looked at Bai Rong.
• There were beads of sweat on her forehead.
• He had a bad feeling in his gut.
• “What's wrong?” Gu Mingchen asked.
• “Her blood pressure is low. We need to administer drip and hospitalize her to monitor her condition.” Bai Rong reported.
• Gu Mingchen looked at the thugs and said without hesitation, “Let them go. I'll be your hostage.”
• The three thugs looked at each other. The guy with the crew cut looked at the time on his watch.
• “There's forty minutes left before the plane arrives. If we let them go and have you stay, wouldn't we end up with a time bomb on our hands?”
• “I'll stay.” Bai Rong said.
• Gu Mingchen gave Bai Rong a confused look, but she just smiled a little and told the man, “Hurry up and rush them to the hospital, or they will both die.”
• “None of you are leaving!” The guy with the crew cut yelled.
• Bai Rong looked at the guy, “Keeping an unconscious pregnant woman, a baby waiting to be fed, and a well-trained soldier here with you would also be a burden, wouldn't it?”
• “Let them go.” The older and taller guy said.
• The guy with the crew cut nodded and stood aside.
• Gu Mingchen stared at Bai Rong without saying anything.
• He carried the woman on his back and the baby in his arms as he left quickly.
• The men outside immediately responded.
• They let out a sigh of relief as they saw the mother and child make it out safely.
• “Get them to the hospital.” Gu Mingchen handed them over to the soldiers.
• He shifted his gaze to room 801 and ordered, “Lieutenant Shang, prepare the snipers.”
• “Chief, now that they have been rescued, our job is done here. You can take a break and just leave this to the anti-narcotics team.” Lieutenant Shang said respectfully.
• “How can I rest when the hostage is still inside?!” Gu Mingchen shouted coldly at Lieutenant Shang.
• The latter couldn't understand why the chief was so angry.
• Just like how he didn't understand why the chief wanted to personally take part in such a mission.
• “I will arrange for the snipers right away then.” Lieutenant Shang nodded as he said that.
• “If you have to choose between sacrificing the safety of the hostage and letting the thugs escape, choose the latter.”
• Lieutenant Shang found it even stranger now.
• The chief had always been firm and would never give in to the terrorists.
• Why was he acting so strangely this time?
• Time went by.
• Gu Mingchen stood at the window, staring out into the darkness of the night.
• He had a minor accident when he went on a special mission three years ago.
• He was injected with some strange, powerful drug and left out in the wilderness.
• As he was losing his mind on the verge of death, she had appeared, and he took her without holding back.
• When he woke up later, he was already in the military hospital.
• He found her in two days’ time after pulling a few strings.
• She was dressed in a white wedding gown and looked as pure as an angel. Standing in the church, she exchanged rings with Su Xuyan and became his bride.
• He thought she was the woman being held hostage and had come over.
• But he didn't expect the woman to be the husband's mistress.
• And she had chosen the safety of the husband's mistress and illegitimate child over her own.
• He couldn't understand what she was thinking.
• A loud bang was heard from room 801.
• Gu Mingchen was shocked and quickly turned to Lieutenant Shang, “What happened in 801?”
• “We're not sure yet.” Lieutenant Shang said cautiously.
• Gu Mingchen looked at room 802. It was facing room 801 and the rooms were about 2 meters apart.
• He walked towards the kitchen and asked, “What's the status of the helicopter? How long before it arrives?”
• Lieutenant Shang reported as he followed Gu Mingchen, “In thirty minutes.”
• Gu Mingchen kept quiet.
• He placed a ladder between the two kitchens and climbed up.
• “Chief, it's too dangerous for you to go in alone.” Lieutenant Shang said worriedly.
• Gu Mingchen glared at him, “You talk a lot of nonsense.”
• Lieutenant Shang said no further and ordered the soldiers, “008, 101, follow him! Protect the chief at all costs!”
• “Yes, sir!” The soldiers climbed up the stairs upon command.
• Lieutenant Shang was almost crying from the anxiety.
• The chief had a bright future ahead of him, and could possibly even become the commander-in-chief in the future.
• If something were to happen to him, the deputy commander would kill him!
• Gu Mingchen jumped down the ladder, moving as fast as lightning.
• In the blink of an eye, he was already leaning on the wall.
• His cold gaze swept across the living room.
• The guy with the crew cut was in the living room, while the other two were in the bedroom.
• He crouched down, drew his knife, and dashed towards the guy with his eyes locked onto him.
• The guy saw Gu Mingchen. But before he could make a sound, he was already lying on the ground.
• 008 and 101 immediately moved in to take care of the body.
• Gu Mingchen made some hand signals at 008 and 101, and they nodded their heads.
• They silently removed the curtains.
• The living room was filled with light! Snipers were already on standby.
• Gu Mingchen pressed his back against the wall as he moved towards the bedroom and looked inside.
• Bai Rong was sitting on the bed, staring into space.
• A faint and strange air of melancholy surrounded her.
• Anyone would take pity on her if they saw her like that.
• “Boss, why is it so quiet outside?” The yellow-haired thug took a few puffs of his cigarette and scratched his head aggressively.
• The older thug stared at Bai Rong's beautiful face.
• His gaze shifted to her chest and he had a sinister look on his face, “The helicopter will arrive in half an hour. Do you want to have some fun while waiting?”
• The yellow-haired thug realized what his boss meant and looked at Bai Rong, “This woman does have an amazing figure and a beautiful face. Let's help her enjoy her final moments!”
• He tossed his cigarette aside and threw himself at Bai Rong.
• Gu Mingchen narrowed his eyes and was about to rush inside. But the woman calmly held a syringe to her neck and said coldly, “Come any closer and you won't even have a hostage.”
• “Go ahead, I dare you.” The yellow-haired thug was bent on having his way.
• Bai Rong shoved the needle into her neck.
• Seeing that, Gu Mingchen felt as if he was stabbed in his heart as a murderous intent surged through his eyes.
