Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 45

The gangster knew that she was telling the truth. His boss had once ordered that if he didn’t return with Matt’s wife, they wouldn’t live to see another day.

He dialed Matt’s phone number at once, and the two proceeded to communicate with each other in Esnurg’s language. Then, he walked over to Winona and pointed the front camera at her for a video call with his boss.

“Stay back!” Winona hissed defensively.

“Alright. Don’t be so aggressive, Ma’am. Our boss has agreed to talk to you.”

The gangster had stopped sounding so cocky.

Winona saw the man with the devil mask on the phone screen. However, his gaze was rather soft, giving her an inexplicable sense of familiarity. It was as if she had met the man before.

“How courageous you are. I admire that quality very much in a person.”

Winona said straightforwardly, “I know you caught me just to use me as a bait to draw Matt out.”

“Hehe… you’re indeed very smart.”

“You wouldn’t be able to stop me if I want to die.”

“What do you want exactly?” the man asked.

“All you want is me, so why are you bothering these innocent people?”

The man on the screen was silent for a moment, then he clapped his hands. “Madam, I think you’ve wasted so much time studying medicine. You are an extremely astute businesswoman.”

“So, do you agree to let these people go?”

“As you said, all I want is you. These people are nothing but rubbish to me,” the man answered.

“Well then, I can leave with your man, but you are not allowed to block the military plane from departing.”

“Hehe… you are very smart to strike while the iron is hot.”

He immediately instructed his men, “Move now. Escort Mrs. Snider to the base and remember to be polite to her.”

“Yes, Sir,” his men replied.

The man on the screen suddenly smiled at Winona creepily. “Ma’am, my name is Logan Farrell, I hope you remember this name.”

The men followed Logan’s instructions, taking Winona off the military plane. Seeing that the military plane had taken off smoothly, she felt much relief.

She was escorted into an SUV and was then blindfolded. Along the way, she could feel countless bumps and twists on the road.

About two hours later, the car came to a halt. The gangster removed the mask on her head and said, “Ma’am, this way please.”

There were a few military tents set up in front of her. The site built by these people appeared as though it was a temporary shelter. It showed precisely how cunning these people are: even if the head pilot managed to inform the military about her capture, they still might not be able to find her. Not to mention that the campsite was in a politically sensitive area of the three countries. Hence nobody would dare to act rashly.

Winona calmly walked into the tent and saw a man standing there. He had a slender built and was dressed in a black shirt. The man slowly turned around, looking creepy and terrifying with the devil mask on his face.

"I heard that you are very close with General Snider. Both of you have been separated for two days, so you two must be missing each other very much. How about I give you the convenience to call him?"

Winona clearly knew that this man was eager to use his decoy plan. She thought for a while, “Matt probably knows about me being kidnapped now and he must be very anxious. Why don’t I just take this opportunity to tell him that I’m safe?”

"Alright."

"Hehe... Mrs. Snider is indeed very bold. But you can only do so with one condition, you must cooperate with us."

He waved at his subordinate. Soon, a gangster came and handed her a pre-written script. "Memorize everything written in this and say the lines later!"

She glanced at the script. It instructed her to do nothing more than cry miserably and tell Matt how pitiful her situation was. It was meant to arouse Matt’s anger and sympathy for her.

Logan immediately dialed Matt’s cell phone number, "General Snider, it’s been too long."

"Logan Farrell, the head of Cosmos?"

"You're truly well-informed, general."

"You are the only one who can come up with such a despicable idea."

Logan smirked, "Is the great General Snider worried about his wife now?"

"If you dare touch her, I will kill you!"

"Don't worry, Mrs. Snider is doing fine for the time being. For the sake of our years-long friendship, I will let you see her for a while."

He immediately switched to video call. Matt’s eyes were red as he stared at Winona. He seemed to be holding back his thoughts and anxiousness.

Winona beamed at him, "Matt, do you miss me?"

"Listen, Winona, I promise to save you even if it costs my life"

She could finally see his familiar face again even though they were separated by the screen of the cell phone. The longing in her heart seemed to overflow like a flooded dam, and her eyes reddened uncontrollably. But she didn't want to cry, she didn't want him to worry.

"Hey, Matt, you haven't answered my question yet. Do you miss me?"

"I love you," he answered.

She held back her tears, and grinned slightly, "But I still hate you..."

She didn't feel like crying, but she couldn't control herself because of him. It was a really annoying feeling.

"Hehe, what a loving couple, but it's a pity that I don't like disobedient women."

Then, he switched the camera, showing his veiled face. "Matt, listen to me. Three days later, your woman will be auctioned at the Devil's Party. I hope you will be on time for the party; otherwise, she will become someone else’s play toy."

"Son of a bitch, I’ll fuck you to death!"

Logan ignored Matt’s insults and immediately hung up his phone. He raised his hand to pinch Winona's chin. "Hmm...you’re such a beauty. But it's a pity that you didn't cooperate with me, so don’t blame me for this."

Winona passed out after feeling a shot of pain in her neck.

In the military barracks of Foswye, Matt’s face darkened with worry. He was growing extremely anxious, but he still managed to remain rational.

"Mr. Herman, I’ll tell you the command plan for the military exercise later."

"We will go with you!" the man said.

"Please stand by and perform your duties. This is a military order!"

Everyone knew in their hearts that if this military exercise messed up, everyone would be too ashamed to return to the country.

"Yes, Sir. I promise I’ll complete the mission!"

Matt patted him on the shoulder and uttered, "Don't let the others know. I will bring her back safely."

As the night fell, a black figure swished through the jungle like a ghost. Matt skillfully went past the barriers and disappeared into the barracks silently.

When Winona woke up, she felt a chill on her body. She looked down and took in a deep breath. The dress she originally wore was gone. Now she only had on her a diamond-studded nude bikini. It was as if she was naked, with only the shiny diamonds covering her private parts.

She tried to stand up, but her body was limp and without energy. Suddenly, someone kicked her at her back. "Stop pretending like you're sleeping. Go to the platform quickly. The guests have been waiting crazily for you."

She stood up against the wall and turned around. Standing in front of her was a fat woman in a skimpy outfit. The flesh of her body was strangled by laces and her face was covered in heavy makeup—she looked like the madam of a brothel.

The fat woman stretched out her hand and pinched a few parts on Winona’s body, saying, "Your body was meant to be sold. So, hurry up and go with the girls!"
