Chapter 1413 Yunrui's Sincere Devotion: Time & Time
The sound of footsteps from medical staff and the creaking of stretcher wheels broke the brief silence from the corridor. Two medical staff in white coats strode in, gasped when they saw Cangying's injuries, and immediately went to examine him.
"Multiple rib fractures, a knife wound to the abdomen, and multiple soft tissue contusions. He needs to be taken to the hospital immediately," the medical staff said as they carefully lifted the eagle onto a stretcher.
As the eagle was lifted up, it turned to look at Gu Yunxi, their eyes meeting. Neither spoke, only nodding slightly, as if bidding a silent farewell.
Gu Yunxi watched as the stretcher was carried out of the banquet hall. Qi Ruixiang finally calmed down, released his grip on her hand, but still held her wrist tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear if he let go.
“We’ll go to the hospital too, your injury needs to be treated.” Qi Ruixiang’s voice was still a little hoarse, but it carried an undeniable insistence.
Gu Yunxi nodded, her gaze sweeping over Frog, who was diligently filming, and then looking at Tai Ge standing to the side. She said softly, "Thank you." Frog immediately turned around and waved his hand, "No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Officer Cangying and Brother Qi. We're just here to join in the fun and dig up some material."
As he spoke, he waved the camera in his hand, a roguish smile on his face that made the atmosphere even more relaxed.
The sunlight flooded the banquet hall, making the bloodstains on the floor appear almost blinding, but also dispelling all the gloom.
As the eagle's stretcher was carried out of the gate, he looked up at a flock of white doves flying overhead and suddenly smiled.
After eight years of undercover work, he was like an eagle trapped in the darkness, finally breaking free of his shackles and flying towards the sunlight that belonged to him.
Gu Yunxi was led by Qi Ruixiang and followed the stretcher out of the banquet hall, her steps light but unusually firm.
Behind her, Frog was still filming footage of the chaotic banquet hall. Tai, leaning against the doorframe, watched their backs, his fingers finally ceasing their caresses of the gun, and he let out a soft sigh of relief...
This report was filed from the Joint Border Command by our reporter, with assistance from a trainee reporter.
[Border Time, June 15, 14:00] After eight years of covert operations and months of meticulous planning, in the early hours of June 14, Chinese police, in conjunction with border armed police forces, launched a swift raid on the "Black Rock Village" armed drug den located deep in the Golden Triangle. The operation successfully captured top drug lord Shen Chengyu and 23 core members, rescued Dr. Gu Yunxi, a leading biological research expert who had been illegally imprisoned, and seized on-site data on the development of new drugs and a quantity of semi-finished raw materials, completely dismantling this multinational drug trafficking and manufacturing network. As of press time, the case has entered the in-depth investigation stage, and Shen Chengyu has confessed to multiple charges including drug trafficking, illegal detention, and intentional injury.
Under the bright lights of the joint interrogation room at the border, Shen Chengyu, who had once run rampant in the Golden Triangle, lost all his arrogance.
According to the interrogation records, the drug lord, who was over fifty years old, was dressed in prison clothes and handcuffed. When questioned by the investigators, he initially claimed to be "unaware" and "framed," until the police presented audio and video evidence secretly recorded over eight years by an undercover officer.
—Including clear footage of him instructing his subordinates to harm competitors and coercing Dr. Gu Yunxi to develop drugs—Shen Chengyu's psychological defenses finally collapsed.
According to investigators, Shen Chengyu's criminal network was far more complex than initially thought.
Over eight years, he established transit points in five surrounding countries, using Heiyan Village as his core. Through a model of "using drugs to support his military and using military force to protect drugs," he amassed a huge fortune; the funds seized in this latest seizure alone amounted to 2.3 million yuan...
"I never imagined I would leave the lab this way."
In a VIP ward at the Border General Hospital, Dr. Gu Yunxi, during an exclusive interview with our reporter, still clenched her fingers slightly when mentioning her experience of being imprisoned.
According to her recollection, she and her brother were previously detained in a British detention center, and then forcibly abducted by armed men hired by Shen Chengyu. After three days of being transferred, they were taken to the isolated Black Rock Village.
"For the first two weeks, I was locked in an underground cell and only had a bowl of moldy rice every day."
Faint marks from the iron chain can still be seen on Gu Yunxi's wrist.
"Shen Chengyu made me watch videos of his men torturing people, saying that if I didn't cooperate, he would throw me to be 'fed to the dogs'."
According to the hospital, Dr. Gu Yunxi is currently in stable condition and has no life-threatening injuries other than malnutrition and multiple soft tissue contusions.
"Her mental state is better than we expected," the attending physician said. "She had nightmares when she was first admitted to the hospital, but now she can eat and rest normally."
On the morning of June 15, Vice Governor Li, who is in charge of foreign affairs and science and technology of the border province government, and his delegation made a special trip to the hospital to visit Dr. Gu Yunxi, who was receiving treatment.
Inside the ward, Vice Governor Li held Gu Yunxi's hand tightly and said sincerely, "Dr. Gu, on behalf of the provincial government, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to you. It was our security work that was inadequate, causing you to suffer so much."
In this operation, the undercover police officer Cangying, who had been working undercover for eight years, was undoubtedly the "unsung hero."
Outside the intensive care unit, the reporter saw that the police officer, who was in his early thirties, was covered in bandages. His fractured ribs and stab wound to his abdomen made it difficult for him to even turn over, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.
According to his comrades, after graduating from police academy, Cangying volunteered to go undercover. In the eight years that followed, he never went home or made a phone call to his family. He even watched helplessly as his informant was killed by Shen Chengyu, but could only pretend to be indifferent and watch from the sidelines.
"The hardest part is not the physical suffering, but the mental anguish," Cangying said in a brief interview with reporters from his hospital bed. "Several times, I almost forgot that I was a policeman, until I saw Dr. Gu's unyielding spirit and remembered the significance of my undercover work."
Currently, the public security department has applied for a first-class merit award for Cangying, and the relevant commendation ceremony will be held after he recovers.
As of press time, the arrest of suspects in the Heiyanzhai case is nearing completion, and further investigation is underway into key information such as the flow of funds and overseas locations of Shen Chengyu's criminal group.
The head of the joint border command stated that this operation represents a major breakthrough in my country's anti-drug efforts, demonstrating the firm resolve to "investigate every case and eradicate all evil."
In the setting sun, warm light shone through the windows of the wards at the Border General Hospital. Dr. Gu Yunxi sat by the window, watching the pigeons fly by outside;
Inside the intensive care unit, Officer Cangying, accompanied by his comrades, slowly tried to sit up; meanwhile, at the joint command center, investigators were still working late into the night, sorting out the final details of the case.
As the last word of the news broadcast faded away, both Cangying and Gu Yunxi felt an indescribable emotion.
He spent eight years undercover in that godforsaken place, only to be given a few minutes of broadcast time. He couldn't show his face or his true voice. He survived this time, but what about next time?
The other was that he felt inexplicably strange, wondering why the person surnamed Shen was so hostile towards him.
There's also the Nightingale project...
