The terror of Chen Haoxuan had been experienced by Abel several times, and this time she dared not be careless at all. The dagger she held against Chen Xiaonuo's neck was never lowered. When she grew tired, she handed Chen Xiaonuo over to her subordinates, and both needed to keep the dagger pressed against Chen Xiaonuo's neck, fearing that if the dagger left her neck for even a moment, Chen Xiaonuo would be rescued.
Abel's choice was correct. If her dagger dared to leave Chen Xiaonuo's neck by even ten centimeters, Jiang Dong and the Monkey, hiding in the shadows, would strike at Abel's hands and forehead with darts, then quickly rescue Chen Xiaonuo.
This was no longer ancient times when it took years to reach a place; now with airplanes, one could get anywhere in no time. By the next morning, twenty senior agents from the U.S. Secret Service had already met up with Abel. They were now in New City, which was under Yang Lin's territory. As long as Chen Xiaonuo was there, they were not afraid of Chen Haoxuan.
After storing a large amount of technology onto a USB drive, Chen Haoxuan entered his research lab again. He aimed to develop an odorless and colorless gas. This gas was not his invention; it was created by ancient people from the world of his previous life. This gas was quite powerful, truly achieving being colorless and odorless; anyone who inhaled it would collapse immediately.
Chen Haoxuan had already discussed with Yang Lin and the police of New City that as soon as he gave the order, everyone would quickly check every room to ensure the safety of the citizens. As for rescuing people, having Chen Haoxuan was enough. The gas he developed posed no life-threatening danger; however, if someone suddenly fainted while using dangerous household items like gas stoves, it could be very dangerous. Therefore, Chen Haoxuan instructed Yang Lin and the New City police to protect the citizens.
Chen Haoxuan ordered them not to worry too much; regardless of whose door it was, they should break down the locks and check if anyone was in danger. As for compensation, after rescuing Chen Xiaonuo, he was willing to compensate any losses to the citizens tenfold.
Abel did not urge Chen Haoxuan; she only began calling him on the third day after kidnapping Chen Xiaonuo. As agents, obtaining someone's phone number was easy for them. She dialed Chen Haoxuan's number and said, "Chen Haoxuan, I don't want to say much; have you prepared what I need?"
On the other end of the line, Chen Haoxuan replied, "It's ready. When do you want it?"
"Of course now. You don't need to come yourself; just send someone with it. And really, I will not harm your daughter," Abel said.
"Okay, I'll send it to you right now," Chen Haoxuan replied calmly.
Chen Haoxuan planned to go himself. He knew how to disguise himself and used various techniques to transform into an ordinary man. Additionally, he had turned the gas into a white powder; originally he intended to use combustion methods but changed his mind after receiving Abel's call—powder seemed safer.
After disguising himself as an average person, Chen Haoxuan took a USB drive and rode a motorcycle to New City. He arrived at the nightclub where Abel was located. When he knocked on the door and it opened, he saw Abel—the woman he disliked most—who also noticed him but did not recognize him as Chen Haoxuan. However, she sensed danger from him due to an overwhelming aura that created pressure in her heart.
Ordinary people cannot possess such dominance, so the now cautious Abel immediately stood up and shouted at Chen Haoxuan at the door, "You are not allowed to come in. I tell you, if you dare to mess around, Chen Xiaonuo won't survive."
Chen Haoxuan raised his hands to show he was unarmed and surrendered. He spoke, "I am here to give you the USB drive. This USB drive is one hundred gigabytes and contains a large amount of High-Tech Technology."
"Place the USB drive on the ground and then you can leave. Just tell Chen Haoxuan that as long as the technology inside this USB drive is real, once we leave safely, we will definitely keep our promise and release Chen Xiaonuo," Abel said seriously.
Chen Haoxuan obediently took the USB drive from his pocket, placed it on the ground, and without saying another word, turned and left. In fact, he had already scattered some powder in the air when he knocked on the door, and he scattered a bit more when he took out the USB drive.
When Chen Haoxuan reached downstairs, he received a call from Jiang Dong. Jiang Dong informed him that Abel and his group had all fallen to the ground. As for the room where Chen Xiaonuo was located, it was unclear what had happened because Abel's subordinates had blocked the curtains, making it impossible to see inside.
Chen Haoxuan did not run down the stairs or take the elevator because he felt that would be too slow. Instead, he quickly ran outside, pushed off with his legs, and soared into the air, landing directly on the fifth floor, which was where Chen Xiaonuo was being held.
Chen Haoxuan grabbed the edge of the window with one hand and pulled out a knife with the other. This knife was specifically for cutting glass; he was worried that the people inside might not be unconscious. If he broke the glass with his fist directly, it might scare them and cause harm to Chen Xiaonuo. Therefore, he chose the gentlest method possible—one that wouldn’t frighten his enemies even if they saw him.
Chen Haoxuan cut an opening and then took out another small knife, which was very sharp and used for shaving Beards. With two swift motions, he cut a hole in the curtain. Now Chen Haoxuan could see inside; his precious daughter lay on the bed, bound with a remote-controlled bomb. There were also fifteen other people in the room who had already collapsed on the ground.
With no more worries, Chen Haoxuan looked downstairs to check if anyone was around. Seeing no one there, he raised his fist and smashed it against the glass before prying open the window's guardrail. He climbed into the room and immediately took care to remove the remote control from the hand of the person lying next to Chen Xiaonuo.
For Chen Haoxuan, 21st-century explosives were like toys; he dismantled them effortlessly. After disarming the bomb, he pulled out his phone and called Jiang Dong: "Hello, Jiang Dong, you all come over to catch them! Remember, as long as they are alive, they cannot leave their spot."
After hanging up, Chen Haoxuan carried Chen Xiaonuo back. The reason he wanted Jiang Dong and his team to personally capture Abel and his group—and even have them keep watch over Abel until he received a death sentence—was that Abel and his group were not ordinary people. If regular police were to guard them, they could easily escape. That’s why Chen Haoxuan insisted that Jiang Dong take action himself.
