The capital.
After Gu Jiangyan and Jian Junruo left, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely oppressive.
With everyone's concerted efforts, they finally found the suspicious target vehicle based on the clues.
However, it was too late to mobilize manpower, so Jian Juntan contacted the nearest military and police forces.
The military and police expressed their strong condemnation and high attention to the criminals' escape, kidnapping children as hostages, and their intention to flee across the border.
Especially with the Jian family's social status, the severity of the incident was further escalated!
In response, the military and police have formed a special operations team.
Based on the clues provided by the Jian family, they went to the border in advance to make arrangements.
Despite this, Jian Juntan remained restless.
According to the route of Xu Shao's vehicle, it passed through so many checkpoints, yet they were not discovered.
The suspicion that Master Lou possessed supernatural powers was further confirmed.
How could such a person escape without conventional firearms?
Even if Master Lou was allowed to evade one attack, Shengsheng, who was being held hostage by him, would be in danger!
Jian Juntan subconsciously touched the jade amulet he wore around his neck.
Shengsheng said that this jade amulet could resist any damage below the Golden Core stage.
What was the attack power of the Golden Core stage?
Since Shengsheng could easily obtain so many such jade amulets, Master Lou must also have them.
Jian Juntan became increasingly worried as he thought about it. He gritted his teeth and took out the jade amulet from his neck.
He intended to test the upper limit of the jade amulet's attack resistance and also to provide more complete intelligence for the joint operation.
This was not only for Shengsheng's safety but also to minimize the losses of the special operations team!
After he introduced the jade amulet and stated his idea,
the people from the Gu and Chen families looked stunned, even suspecting if Jian Juntan had gone mad with anxiety.
Otherwise, why would he believe such unscientific things?
Even Jian Xiuhuan, who had not participated in Jian Juntan's small meeting, was equally astonished and disbelieving.
But seeing Jian Juntan's earnest request for testing, others began to be half-convinced.
Qi Suibai's expression shifted slightly.
It seemed that the little ancestor still had feelings for the Jian family, and he could pay a little more attention to the Jian family in the future.
If they encountered difficulties, he could also offer help.
Seeing that Jian Juntan was truly intending to misuse such a treasure, Qi Suibai quickly stopped him.
"Patriarch Jian, I don't know the upper limit of the jade amulet's attack resistance."
"But I can tell you with certainty that a sniper rifle cannot penetrate the automatic protective shield generated by the jade amulet."
Everyone looked at him with astonishment.
Had the eldest young master of the Qi family gone mad along with Jian Juntan?
Just then, Qi Suibai took out a jade amulet from his neck that was very similar to the one Jian Juntan held.
It was the same size as the one in Jian Juntan's hand, only differing in material and texture.
Qi Suibai explained:
"This was given to me by Xiao Shengsheng. I haven't tested its protection limit, but it has blocked a sniper shot for me."
It was precisely because he knew of the little ancestor's divine abilities that Qi Suibai, while participating in the search for the little ancestor, was not very worried about her safety.
Since the little ancestor could still produce so many treasures, the items on her person must be no less.
The only thing that worried him was any unforeseen changes that might happen to the little ancestor.
If she encountered other cultivators, would the little ancestor suffer losses and be at a disadvantage?
Upon hearing Qi Suibai's words, everyone's pupils contracted sharply.
Jian Juntan was slightly stunned, then suddenly understood.
No wonder Shengsheng and the eldest grandson of the Qi family had such a good relationship.
No matter how powerful the Qi family was, it was still a mortal force.
Towards extraordinary beings, even if they didn't try to win them over, they would absolutely not offend them.
In this regard, Shengsheng already had the qualifications to converse with the Qi family as an equal.
Knowing the reason, the idea of worrying that Shengsheng might be wronged by the Qi family due to her good relationship with Qi Suibai vanished.
The heavy stone pressing on his heart finally loosened a bit.
Compared to the Jian family, who had some understanding of Jian Sheng, others were utterly shocked!
They were shocked by the authenticity of the jade amulet automatically protecting its owner, and by the relationship between Jian Sheng and Qi Suibai!
After all, this was a life-saving grace for the eldest grandson of the Qi family!
The former could only save one's life in a crisis, while the latter could tangibly influence the Qi family's stance and attitude!
For a moment, everyone looked at Jian Juntan with eagerness in their eyes.
And also with undisguised greed.
The Qi family made them flinch, and they didn't even dare to try to build a relationship with Qi Suibai.
But the Jian family and Jian Sheng were different!
Chen Yulou had completely forgotten the purpose of his visit, his mind fully focused on how to establish a deeper connection with the Jian family.
Gu Changlin, still worried about his granddaughter, couldn't help but ask:
"Since Shengsheng gave the jade amulets to you, she should have some with her. Then why was she kidnapped?"
Qi Suibai stated that he had a lot to say on this matter.
"From what I know, this jade amulet has an automatic sensing function. It only protects automatically when it senses that the owner of the jade amulet is under attack."
"And after the car accident, Shengsheng fell into a coma for an unknown reason. The other party didn't need to attack Shengsheng at all to take her away."
"In other words, if Master Lou makes any move to harm Shengsheng, Shengsheng will be protected by the jade amulet."
Jian Juntan hesitated:
"But Master Lou also possesses supernatural powers. Can the jade amulet stop him?"
Qi Suibai recalled the ancestral records of his family, quoting the little ancestor.
Even in the cultivation world, where powerful figures abounded, the little ancestor's combat power was still remarkable.
In reality, cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage were rarely seen. It was almost impossible to harm the little ancestor!
Qi Suibai said what he knew, trying to pacify Jian Juntan's emotions.
At the same time, he also stated that the Qi family had influence in Country E and Country H.
As long as they could obtain the location where they crossed the border, he could have them closely monitored.
When an opportunity arose, they could seize it to bring Jian Sheng back.
No one doubted the weight of his words, and the effect Qi Suibai wanted was indeed achieved. Jian Juntan finally relaxed slightly.
However, why does an outsider like you know and care about Shengsheng more than me, her uncle?
A strange sense of competitiveness increased!
Jian Juntan's thoughts twisted strangely for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that shouldn't he be providing the intelligence to the combat command center quickly?
Excluding the unscientific content, Jian Juntan emphasized to the other party.
If they see that the situation is unfavorable, or if they witness anything strange.
Then it would be better to let them leave rather than cause any meaningless losses!
Jian Juntan transmitted these words to the combat command center. Then, the commander, in confusion, reported these words to his superiors.
After a heated discussion, the commander finally relayed the original words to the front-line combat personnel.
The captain of the combat team with the designation N1, Yan Sheng, who had finally caught up with Master Lou and his group, was holding a sniper rifle and constantly observing the target's movements.
When he received the message from the command center and his combat mission was temporarily changed, Yan Sheng was completely bewildered.
