Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1361: Trapped

While Li Chenmo, Song Li, and his family were busy harvesting the paddy field, the situation at the pier of the neighboring city was tense.

Hiding in the surrounding area were several groups of soldiers. They had been waiting for hours for the target to fall into their trap. So, even if they were tired and hungry, they persevered and waited patiently.

When the sun rose above their heads, they finally saw a group of men walking while checking their surroundings. Besides the men, there was a woman and a little boy.

Seeing this, the soldiers looked at their squad leader and waited for instructions. It was alright to injure the spy, but if they accidentally killed the hostages, it would not be a small matter.

Not knowing that they were falling into a trap weaved by the government, Cai Bocheng carried his son with one hand and held Yang Mengyao's wrist with the other as he pulled her to the pier.

Being brought into this place without any warning made Yang Mengyao scared. She looked at her cousin and asked, "Brother, where are we going?"

Hearing her words, Cai Bocheng replied, "We are going to the British colony."

The moment she heard this, Yang Mengyao struggled from his grip and said, "I don't want to go! Brother, let me go!"

Cai Bocheng was annoyed by her rejection and said, "Lower your voice if you don't want to die!"

As soon as she heard his warning, Yang Mengyao's face turned pale. Noticing the men who came with them were glaring at her, she no longer dared to shout and could only follow them to the ship with teary eyes.

When they almost reached the ship, the squad leader finally finished communicating with the commander and said, "Everyone, get ready. The commander said, don't harm the boy and the woman if possible."

The moment they heard his words, they understood the underlying meaning. Even if they accidentally harmed the woman and the boy, their commander wouldn't blame them.

After getting the order and permission, the squad leader sent a signal to the other teams.

A moment before Cai Bocheng and his group got into the ship, they heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from behind them.

Turning around, they saw the soldiers aiming their guns at them as they approached. Seeing that the situation was out of control, he quickly pulled Yang Mengyao toward the ship without hesitation.

Bang!

Seeing this, the squad leader fired a warning shot and shouted, "Cai Bocheng, you are under arrest! Stop running and raise your hands!"

Hearing the sound of gunfire, Yang Mengyao let out a scream as she cried, while Feng Heng was already screaming at the top of his lungs from fear.

When Cai Bocheng saw his son and the woman crying due to fear, he felt distressed. He pushed them into the cabin and pulled out his gun. He aimed it at the squad leader and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The moment he opened fire, his men also followed, firing their guns at the soldiers while hiding behind things to avoid the bullets.

During the confrontation, Cai Bocheng shouted to his man, "What are you waiting for?! Start the ship and leave this place immediately!"

The ship captain quickly went to the control room and turned on the engine. When the ship finally moved, He Xieyu arrived with his adjutant. Seeing the departing ship, he grabbed the gun from one of the nearby soldiers.

"Hey! What are you doing?" The soldier was taken aback by his action.

Before he could take the gun back, he saw He Xieyu pull the trigger.

Bang!

"Akh!" the captain let out a shout as his shoulder was shot.

Bang!

The next shot landed on the back of his head and killed him instantly. Without the captain, no one knew how to drive the ship.

Knowing that his chance of escaping had disappeared, Cai Bocheng gritted his teeth. He looked at Yang Mengyao and said firmly, "Yaoyao, I will come back to take you and our son away."

Yang Mengyao's eyes widened in shock the moment she heard his words. Due to the shock, she didn't react when he kissed her lips roughly.

SPLASH!

"One of them jumped into the sea!" one of the soldiers shouted.

Hearing this, Yang Mengyao finally came back to her senses. The revelation of her son's identity terrified her more than the fact that her maternal cousin was a criminal.

While she was stunned, the situation outside was chaotic.

He Xieyu narrowed his eyes and pulled the trigger of the gun calmly, without hesitation.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With every pull of the trigger, he hit the target.

"Ahk!"

"Ugh!"

Several of Cai Bocheng's men were shot in their knees and were unable to stand, let alone swim or run. While they groaned in pain, the soldiers moved quickly and subdued them before they could raise their guns again.

Seeing that the situation was brought under control in a short time, the soldiers looked at He Xieyu with awe and shock.

He Xieyu returned the gun to the soldier and said, "If you need my signature for your report, you can find me in the mayor's office. My name is He Xieyu, and I'm the vice mayor."

After leaving these words, he walked to the squad leader and said, "Send people to search the area near the pier and also put a wanted notice on the border. He will definitely return to get his woman and son."

When the squad leader saw his face, he quickly saluted and asked, "Vice Mayor, why are you here?"

He Xieyu gave him a glance and said, "Go issue the wanted notice and search for Cai Bocheng."

"Yes, sir!" The squad leader didn't dare delay and left to do his task.

When He Xieyu saw Yang Mengyao and her son being escorted out by the soldiers, he said, "Take that woman for interrogation. As for the boy, send him to the police. Let them escort him back to his family."
