In the commander's office, Su Chaoyang faced Mu Chenggong and another Major General in silence, all of them bearing solemn expressions.
"Chaoyang, take a look at this…"
Accepting an envelope from Mu Chenggong, Su Chaoyang opened it without hesitation. Instantly, his dark pupils burst with a sharp glow, his fingers whitening from the strain.
Inside the envelope was a photo and a note.
The photo was of Mu Xiangwan being bound. Her entire body was wrapped like a zongzi (rice dumpling), her eyes covered, her mouth sealed.
The note had two printed lines: If you want to save her, send the lone wolf. The location is Wanding. The exact spot depends on the capabilities of China's Special Forces. If we find you bringing an extra person, be prepared to collect her corpse!
Below this message, a black totem was printed. It was a ferocious python, its mouth gaping wide.
"Snow… Python!"
