Suburb.

Baihua Valley.

An unfinished tourist attraction belonging to the Tang Cultural Tourism Group.

Two Dual Cultivation masters chose to meet here with Qin Yu and Han Qingying not on a whim, but as a strategic trap.

First of all, Baihua Valley is surrounded by a man-made lake covering thousands of acres, with the deepest parts reaching thirty to forty meters. Without tools like motorboats, it is very difficult to cross merely by diving.

Baihua Valley stands right in the middle of the man-made lake.

In the initial design, a glass walkway connected the shore to Baihua Valley. However, since it was incomplete, only two bare iron chains remained.

That is to say, these two iron chains are the only way into Baihua Valley.

Secondly, as a place claiming to be Baihua Valley, the island is filled with all sorts of flowers, still in the cultivation stage and untrimmed, almost all taller than one meter. Dense and sprawling, like an ocean of flowers.

Hiding two Dual Cultivation masters would be easy—hiding a thousand wouldn't even be noticed from the sky.

The advantage of this is that even if Qin Yu and his team brought in SWAT and attacked from the air with heavy firepower, the sea of flowers would provide cover, making it very difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the two masters.

Moreover, with Lu Wenrou in their hands, the SWAT team wouldn't possibly use heavy firepower to flatten the entire Baihua Valley.

The idea of an assault across the water is even more impractical. The loud noise from the motorboats would be a giveaway; the two masters would hear them starting from a distance.

The probability of SWAT crossing the iron chains is also slim. Because if the two masters held their position at the other end, they could shake the chains off once they detect SWAT, turning Baihua Valley into an isolated island.

It must be said that the two Dual Cultivation masters had put quite a bit of thought into choosing Baihua Valley.

It was a classic case of "One man guards the pass, ten thousand are unable to pass".

At this moment.

SWAT headquarters office.

Brightly lit.

Han Bing leaned on the office desk with both hands, staring intently at the map of Baihua Valley on the desk, brows tightly knitted.

"What are your thoughts?"

Han Bing glanced at several high-ranking police officers in white shirts and asked.

"Easy to defend, hard to attack!"

One of the men in white shirts shook his head slightly.

"Unless we use heavy firepower for coverage!"

Another man in a white shirt also spoke up.

"Heavy firepower? You are aware of who Lu Wenrou is, right?"

Dissatisfaction appeared on Han Bing's face.

If it were just a normal hostage, it wouldn't be much of an issue, but Lu Wenrou was the vice leader of Dragon Gate and the daughter of a general. If anything happened to her, everyone present might end up sewing in prison.

"Err… we know!"

The men in white shirts nodded and a serious look crossed their faces.

"How about surrounding them without attacking?"

Someone else suggested, "Baihua Valley isn't fully developed yet and probably doesn't have a lot of resources stored. If we besiege them for several weeks, they will naturally become restless!"

"Several weeks? And starve Lu Wenrou to death as well?"

Han Bing's brows shot up, and she said with a cold voice.

Being pregnant, her temper wasn't great. Moreover, this event involved too many important people—Qin Yu, Han Qingying—both very important to her, which made her particularly irritable.

"What do the kidnappers want?"

Another man in a white shirt asked.

"One person, my aunt, Han Qingying!"

Han Bing said solemnly.

"This… "

Everyone present showed expressions of dilemma.

Although they didn't know Han Bing's aunt, they all knew that the Han Family was a big family in Capital City, and they couldn't afford any incidents.

The hostage couldn't be harmed either!

This made the group of experienced police officers all show expressions of extreme frustration.

"How about this, let's have everyone on 24-hour standby, including helicopters and motorboats. If something really happens to my aunt, I will level Baihua Valley!"

"Snap!"

```

Han Qingying bit her silver teeth after speaking, then slapped her palm down on the desk.

It was an outlet for the indignation burning within her.

Over at Qin Yu's side.

Ou Changfeng had been driving for nearly an hour before finally parking beside a barren set of chains.

After the three of them got out of the car, they glanced at the vast, misty lake and the Hundred Flowers Valley rising in the center, all frowning.

"We should go over. If we can't handle those two Dual Cultivation experts, it's a one-way trip for the three of us."

"But if we don't, Lu Wenrou will be in danger."

"Here's the plan, I'll go first. Wenrou is my cousin, and it's my duty to save her!" Ou Changfeng said with a stern face.

"Don't rush!" Qin Yu waved his hand, taking a careful look at the terrain of Hundred Flowers Valley. Having been a scout, he was adept at reconnaissance.

However, after a good ten minutes, he could only offer a wry smile. "Apart from going head-to-head, there seems to be no other way!"

"Hmph, such a waste of time!" Ou Changfeng huffed in dissatisfaction.

"Qin Yu, give them a call and let them know we're here. It looks like we can't count on external forces, only on ourselves!" Han Qingying said as well.

"Okay!" Qin Yu dialed Lu Wenrou's number.

Dial tone...

After several rings, a sinister voice came through, "You've arrived?"

"Yes, release Lu Wenrou!" Qin Yu tried to keep his tone calm.

"No problem. Here's the deal: let Han Qingying walk alone on the chain bridge, over to this side, and we'll release Lu Wenrou," Tang Xuanlong said briskly.

Actually, they had considered Dual Cultivation with Lu Wenrou, but her cultivation was too low to be of much benefit, other than simple pleasure. In contrast, Han Qingying, a Channel-Opening Realm expert, would be a valuable Dual Cultivation partner, bringing immense benefits.

They had been conserving energy for so long, they would complete Dual Cultivation with Han Qingying before dawn, and even if the SWAT teams arrived, they'd be able to slip away.

As for Qin Yu, after their cultivation improved, they could infiltrate Jinling anytime and easily take care of him.

"No, if we're coming over, all three of us will come together!" After a brief pondering, Qin Yu decided to refuse.

If all three of them went, there was a chance to fight the Dual Cultivation experts to the death. If Han Qingying went alone and they subdued her, he and Ou Changfeng would stand even less of a chance.

Tonight was the best opportunity to catch them; if they escaped, the trouble would be endless.

"You don't have the right to negotiate!" Tang Xuanlong's voice grew impatient.

"Lu Wenrou hasn't even broken through to Huajin, and she's no kin of mine. Do whatever you like—if you don't agree, we can just keep this stalemate!"

Qin Yu certainly understood that compared to Lu Wenrou, Han Qingying was much more valuable to the two Dual Cultivation experts.

"Qin Yu, what do you mean by that?" Ou Changfeng glared at Qin Yu in anger.

"Here, take the phone. You want to negotiate?" Qin Yu handed the phone to Ou Changfeng. The kid was strong enough, but too inexperienced in the ways of Jianghu.

The less he appeared to care about Lu Wenrou, the more leverage he had.

"You..." Ou Changfeng was livid, yet knowing his own lack of eloquence, turned away in a huff.

"Ah..." Suddenly, a cry of pain from Lu Wenrou came through the phone.

"Qin Yu, you have ten seconds to decide. I'll stab her with every second that passes, and I don't know how many stabs she can endure!" roared Tang Long malevolently.
