Because of this remark, the three of them stayed there for two days.
Watching the food dwindle and the footsteps outside become more and more frequent, all three of them felt a sense of crisis.
After having the last meal of the day, Jiang Lihao suddenly stood up and walked outside. Yang Qian, who was quick - witted, grabbed him at once. Her eyes were full of shock as she asked, "Are you crazy?"
Jiang Lihao seemed unusually calm. He pried Yang Qian's hand off and said to Gu Sisi, "Watch over her. I'm going outside to look for food."
Gu Sisi was full of hesitation. "It's too dangerous for you to do this."
"But if we don't go, all three of us will be in even greater danger." Looking at the two worried women, Jiang Lihao continued, "Moreover, have you noticed? There was one group of people before, but now there's an additional team."
The two of them were shocked.
"This is a long - term battle. We need to be prepared." After saying that, before they could react, Jiang Lihao left the grotto.
Yang Qian wanted to chase after him, but Gu Sisi held her back.
"The target will be too big if two of us go. It's safer for us to wait here." Gu Sisi seemed very calm at this moment.
Indeed, Jiang Lihao made sense. They had to find a way to survive.
"But it's too dangerous like this." Yang Qian's face was full of anxiety, and her eyes were still looking outside.
But the person had gone far away, and there was nothing she could do.
They originally thought the person would come back soon, but a whole night passed, and then it was evening of the next day. They stared straight outside but didn't even see a single figure.
Finally, they began to get anxious.
"Sister Sisi, I'll go out and look for him." Yang Qian tried hard to maintain her calm on the surface so as not to worry Gu Sisi. "You just rest here. Your foot is injured, so don't go far."
"Yang Qian!" No matter how much Gu Sisi shouted, the person still left without looking back.
Gu Sisi's heart skipped a beat, and her eyelid twitched. She murmured blankly, "It's bad!"
Rushing out like this would surely put one in danger.
When Jiang Lihao returned, he only saw an empty grotto with some food still left inside.
On the other side, the eldest sister and the second brother of the Huo family chased to the outside of the small woods.
Their subordinates unexpectedly found a village outside. So the group searched the village inside and out for several days but didn't find anyone.
The eldest sister raised her eyebrows and looked at the three people brought over by her subordinates. She asked, "Who are they?"
Someone whispered in report, "Boss! These three have been acting very suspiciously, so we caught them."
"Lift their heads up." The eldest sister said coldly.
The faces of the three were forcibly lifted. These were the same three who had chased after Gu Sisi.
The reason they were acting so timid was that they thought the woman they had offended had sent people to arrest them.
The three knelt on the ground and stammered in defense, "We're really innocent."
"..." The eldest sister didn't know what they were talking about.
Instead, she made a gesture to the person behind her. Her subordinate quickly handed over a photo.
The eldest sister picked it up, looked into the eyes of the three seriously, and said slowly, "Have you seen her?"
The three took a look and knew they were in trouble. They immediately lowered their heads and stammered, "N - no."
The eldest sister gave a soft laugh. It was obvious that something was wrong. She shouted sternly, "Lift their heads up for me!"
The three were grabbed by their scalps and stared blankly at the two people in front of them with their eyes rolled up.
The eldest sister walked over slowly. Step by step, she was like a demon coming to claim their lives. At this moment, the three understood a truth: beautiful women can be poisonous.
But it was already too late. She asked softly again, "Haven't you seen her?"
This time they hesitated. They knew the woman in front of them was very powerful, but they didn't dare to admit it, fearing more severe punishment.
"Maybe it's them who hid the person." The second brother suddenly leaned in and said softly.
The eldest sister thought it was very possible after hearing this. She sized them up with a suspicious look.
They trembled and said, "We really didn't."
This was completely slandering them. At this moment, they looked extremely aggrieved, but the two people in front of them no longer believed their words.
"Find out where they live. Search every house carefully." The woman said with a curl of her lips.
These words were no doubt equivalent to having their houses torn down in their ears.
In fact, it was exactly so.
A group of people left a dilapidated house and reported to the two, "We didn't see anyone."
The eldest sister raised her eyebrows and looked at them. "They're hiding quite well. Since we can't find them, we'll just wait for you to tell us."
She leaned lazily on the chair and said coldly to the people behind her, "Torture them."
The faces of the three kneeling on the ground changed greatly. They crawled forward on their knees but were dragged back. They struggled and said, "We really didn't hide her. That woman ran away!"
Hearing the information they wanted, the two waved their hands, and their subordinates stepped back.
The two stepped forward and squatted in front of them. "What did you just say?"
This time they realized they had said something they shouldn't have, but there was no turning back.
The short and dark - skinned man was the first to lose his willpower. He closed his eyes and said, "They really ran away."
"Them?"
"Yes, they were rescued by a man and a woman."
This statement was completely beyond the two's expectations.
The second brother, who had been quiet for a long time, said, "Why should we believe your words?"
Seeing that they still doubted, Dongzi gritted his teeth and spoke.
"The wounds on our faces and bodies were all inflicted by that man."
When they first found these three men, they were already in a sorry state. Coupled with their naturally dark complexions, it was really hard to notice the wounds on their faces without careful observation.
The second brother tilted his head to signal the person behind him. The subordinate quickly tore open one of the men's shirts. Sure enough, there were bruises all over. It seemed that the attacker had been very heavy - handed.
The two temporarily believed their words.
"Where did they go?" The eldest sister asked with a gloomy face.
The short and dark - skinned man shook his head. "We don't know."
They had been chased, so how could they know the whereabouts of the others.
The eldest sister's eyes darkened. She said, "Then someone, take them..."
Finally, one of the three sensed the danger and quickly said, "When we left, they were still in the small woods. We've been in the village these days and know the situation here. They must still be inside."
The man blurted out the words in one breath, fearing that the people in front of them would change their minds and they would be done for.
Sure enough, this statement was still helpful to the two.
They looked gloomy. They asked the people behind them something and then left without looking back.
The people who had been holding them down also let them go and quickly followed.
"After searching for so long, we still haven't found a single person?" The eldest sister roared.
"If there are three people and they're still in the woods, I suspect they're hiding." The second brother said thoughtfully.
The eldest sister was still looking at the people following them. She roared, "What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and search!"
"Yes!" A group of people quickly left.
"Who do you think those two people are?" The second brother squinted his eyes. Suddenly, doubt flashed in his eyes. "Could the man they mentioned be Huo Cheng?"
The eldest sister snorted. "It doesn't matter who he is! This time, none of them will be let off!"
