In the end, Jiang Lihao was no match for the crowd. After running for a while, he was finally caught by them in partnership.
He was quite unyielding as his hands were held tightly. He gave a soft laugh and said to the people behind him, "Hey, did you guys mistake me for someone else? Why are you arresting me?"
This left everyone stunned.
Indeed, the boss hadn't ordered them to arrest this person, and they couldn't be sure of his identity either.
"Then why did you run away!" the crowd retorted.
Jiang Lihao showed a helpless expression and shrugged. "Seeing you guys chasing me, I had no choice but to run."
Some were convinced and seemed hesitant. Could it be that they had really arrested the wrong person?
Some were more rational and continued to hold him tightly. They said sternly, "It doesn't matter. Just hand him over to the boss."
The hesitant ones nodded. It made sense.
It was strange enough to see a living person running around in the forest.
Jiang Lihao gave a faint smile. He had really done his best. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the prey he had abandoned. He knew that from then on, it would depend on Gu Sisi and the others.
Just then, Huo Cheng also came upon hearing the commotion. The two groups of people finally clashed.
Huo Cheng headed straight for Jiang Lihao. The people holding him turned around and ran, but they were no match for Huo Cheng. In the blink of an eye, Huo Cheng stood in front of them.
The people holding him turned around again, but Huo Cheng was already right in front of them, getting closer and closer. They were so scared that their legs went weak.
They immediately knelt down and pleaded, "Spare us! We were just following orders."
Huo Cheng gave them a cold look. He hadn't expected the enemy's underlings to be so weak. His thin lips parted slightly. "Get out of here!"
The kneeling men ran away without hesitation. The others who were still fighting saw that the situation was not right and also slipped away.
Huo Cheng helped Jiang Lihao up. Jiang Lihao said indifferently, "Thanks, buddy."
"I should be the one thanking you," Huo Cheng replied.
Everything was understood without words.
When the two of them reached the grotto, Jiang Lihao was shocked to see the remaining dry food and the empty grotto. The prey in his hand dropped to the ground.
He walked inside to look for them, but there was still no one.
He shook his head in disbelief. He had clearly told them not to go out. Suddenly, his expression changed. Could it be that these people had captured the two of them?
Huo Cheng bent down and followed behind him. Seeing that Jiang Lihao had been silent since they entered, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Lihao turned around. His face was already pale.
"They may be in danger."
...
Yang Qian was being held at this moment.
"Where is she?"
Yang Qian rolled her eyes and turned her head away. "Who are you asking about? How would I know?"
"Gu Sisi!" the woman in front of her was angry.
The man beside her gave a soft laugh. "Maybe this woman only responds to force. Let's just torture her for information."
The man who spoke was the second brother, and the woman glaring angrily was the eldest sister.
"Who is Gu Sisi?" Yang Qian retorted.
Then she looked at the man who spoke and snorted. "Do whatever you want. I really don't know."
"Fine!" The eldest sister was obviously angry. She nodded. "Then I'd like to see if you can really withstand torture."
Yang Qian stiffened all over.
Oh no. Talking big was going to bring bad luck.
On the surface, she still maintained her calm, but in fact, she was already shouting for help in her heart.
It seemed that her sincere prayer had worked. Just as they were about to act, a man rushed in and knelt on the ground.
"Boss, there's a strange man in the forest. Just as we were about to arrest him, he was rescued by another man. And, he seems to be..."
"Who?" The eldest sister was dissatisfied with the man's hesitation.
The man reporting his head lowered even more. After struggling for a while, he finally said, "Huo Cheng."
Both of them were shocked. They hadn't expected him to complete his mission so quickly. This was definitely not good news for them.
Unlike their worried expressions, Yang Qian was grinning stupidly. She said foolishly, "Hahaha, I'm saved."
Two cold looks shot at her.
Yang Qian obediently shut up.
The two of them dragged Yang Qian to the small forest and bumped into the group of people who were searching. Yang Qian, who had been extremely dejected just now, immediately brightened up when she saw the two leaders of the other group.
"Let her go."
"Why should we?" The eldest sister took out a knife and pressed it against Yang Qian's neck. She curled her lips into a smile, looking extremely charming.
She had a gorgeous appearance, and with her dark aura, she looked extremely alluring. But everyone here knew that she was a man - eating flower, and no one dared to provoke her.
Huo Cheng didn't bother to waste words with them. He looked at the group of people behind them and said indifferently, "Since that's the case, let's fight!"
They were used to fighting at the slightest provocation since childhood, and today was no different.
The second brother looked at the group of people behind Huo Cheng. Although there were fewer of them, they were obviously all elites. In contrast, their own group was just a bunch of randomly recruited underlings, and their combat power was much lower. After all, no one had expected that Huo Cheng would complete his mission so quickly.
After all, it was rumored that the car of the president of Country G was a treasure that was said to be invulnerable to bullets and bombs. In addition, the guards protected the president 24 hours a day, 360 days a year.
The second brother grabbed the impulsive eldest sister and said indifferently, "Our original target wasn't her. In that case, we might as well return her to you. But you have to stop, or else..."
He looked at the knife in the eldest sister's hand and curled his lips slightly.
The eldest sister didn't understand why her second brother was saying this and wanted to refute.
But at this moment, Huo Cheng had already spoken.
"I agree. Let her go, and you can leave."
After saying that, the second brother grabbed the eldest sister who was about to speak and left. No matter how much the eldest sister struggled, she couldn't break free. The subordinates behind them had no choice but to follow.
After Yang Qian was released, she immediately ran towards the two of them. She said aggrievedly, "I thought I was going to die just now. Fortunately, you came in time. If you had been a little later, I would have been finished."
Yang Qian's originally pale face regained its color due to excitement.
Jiang Lihao patted the scared Yang Qian. After her emotions had stabilized, he asked, "Where's Gu Sisi?"
Yang Qian turned her head and was stunned. Then she pointed in the direction of the grotto and said, "She should be there."
At this, the expressions of all three of them changed.
There was danger. Gu Sisi!
"Could it be that they took her away?" Jiang Lihao asked and was about to chase after them.
Huo Cheng shook his head and stopped him. "That's impossible. I sent people to follow them all the time, and they didn't see her."
Jiang Lihao calmed down, but his thoughts were even more confused.
Yang Qian turned around and ran backward. Jiang Lihao followed her.
When Huo Cheng reached the grotto, he saw Yang Qian, who was extremely excited, and Jiang Lihao, who was trying to comfort her.
"It's my fault. If I hadn't left, Sister Sisi definitely wouldn't have disappeared," Yang Qian said, shaking her head. Looking at the empty grotto, she was full of remorse.
At this moment, she was sure that there was really no one there.
"You can't blame yourself. It's not entirely your fault," Jiang Lihao hugged the hysterical Yang Qian tightly. After her emotions had stabilized, he said, "I shouldn't have left either."
Yang Qian covered her eyes. She said anxiously, "Then what should we do? Sister Sisi still has an injury on her leg."
Hearing this, Huo Cheng's expression changed.
