Chapter 23 The Ungrateful Younger Brother, the Terrible Uncle-in-Law 23

The person in front of the screen was stunned and quickly got up to take out a walkie-talkie.

Unexpectedly, Ji Huaizhi ran away immediately.

The man with the walkie-talkie assumed he was too young and didn't know anything; they said their group never got lost while training in these deep mountains.

Entering this remote mountain area feels like returning to my hometown.

Did you think running away would solve everything?

The man who was supposed to pick up the person received the message and hurriedly looked for his gun, only to find it was gone, which startled him.

He told them to go back first, and then hurried off to catch up.

The man in the monitoring room stared intently at Ji Huaizhi, noticing that he seemed to know exactly where the cameras were.

Every time I go to a new location, a camera breaks.

The cameras following him also suddenly malfunctioned.

Just like a few days ago when he was wandering around in the deep mountains, he was trying to find these locations and remember the way.

A voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Hey, can you check where that kid went? He's disappeared in such a short time."

"You're finished, bro."

The man was puzzled when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

"He took your gun and ran off somewhere. The surveillance cameras following him are all broken. I'm setting up a drone. Why don't you come back and apologize?"

"Hold!"

Ji Huaizhi took the gun and ran into the deep mountains.

He had actually been doing quite well on the mountain these past few days, but he never expected that the system, which had never made a sound since arriving here, would suddenly speak, saying that there were people in this deep mountain.

They are not the 'enemy' they are talking about.

They are looking for the armory.

Ji Huaizhi knew this but his expression remained unchanged. Since that was the case, he decided to take credit for it.

It's too troublesome to climb up step by step.

He wants to join the weapons manufacturing team, not do menial tasks.

Just to be on the safe side, Ji Huaizhi smashed the cameras with stones.

Looking at the bracelet on his hand, he thought for a moment, then took out a dagger and pried open the contents.

"What? The location tracking is malfunctioning too?"

The man searching for Ji Huaizhi knew he couldn't escape punishment this time, so he picked up the walkie-talkie again:

"Hello, hello, this is Li Minghao."

"Received, please proceed."

"When I was doing the rescue, that kid touched my gun. If you see him, give him a good beating first. That brat."

The person on the other end couldn't help but laugh: "Received, received."

When Chen Minglong learned that Ji Huaizhi had stolen someone else's gun, he frowned. Just then, all the information about Ji Huaizhi's life had been found.

I felt relieved after reading it.

fine.

If there's a problem with their identity, that would be terrible.

"Chen Minglong, this kid is really naughty. You should teach him a lesson when he gets back."

Chen Minglong nodded: "Of course. Have you found him yet?"

The person operating the monitoring system said, "Our men who were lying in ambush deep in the mountains couldn't find him, and the locator has also malfunctioned."

Chen Minglong: "The kid is naughty and doesn't know any better. I'll have a good talk with him when he gets back."

"We do need to talk about it. If there's nothing wrong, that's fine. But I'm worried he might shake off our people, evade the surveillance, and go somewhere else. You know what I mean, Minglong?"

The leader's words were pointed.

Chen Minglong lowered his head: "I understand."

Boss: "I heard you had someone investigate his background before? Let me see it."

Chen Minglong gave Xiao Mi a wink, and the documents were delivered to the leader.

Feng Jun rushed over in a panic: "I heard Ji Huaizhi got into trouble?"

He brought this person in; if there's a problem, he won't be able to escape either.

The leader turned around with a smile: "Alright, why are you reacting so strongly? You're the one who brought this in, don't you even have this much confidence in yourself?"

"I'm just panicking," Feng Jun knew this kid was going to cause trouble.

It's really unbearable.

After reviewing all of Ji Huaizhi's information, the leader told them to calm down: "Alright, he's just a mischievous kid. I forgot he's only 16, the age when he loves to play."

"Find the other person first, lest the gun accidentally go off in his hands."

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Chen Minglong and said, "You come along too, and so does Feng Jun. You shouldn't have anything to do lately, so come along as well."

Feng Jun refused: "I'm not going. That kid is very bold and holds grudges."

The leader, with his hands behind his back, said, "Wasn't that what I asked you to do to build relationships?"

"go!"

Feng Jun was annoyed: "I'm not his teacher."

“He now treats me like an enemy. You just said he has a gun. The first thing he'll probably do when he sees me is shoot me!”

The others laughed when they heard this.

"You say kids hold grudges, but aren't you the same way?"

Chen Minglong didn't say anything, but it seemed that Ji Huaizhi had given him a lot of trouble on the way here.

Feng Jun seized the opportunity to speak ill of Ji Huaizhi: "You have no idea how bold he is! He dared to attack me the first time we met, and he tried to kill me three times with hidden weapons!"

"My thought at the time was to bring him here first, and then deal with him properly later."

"Hmph~"

As he spoke, Feng Jun glanced at Chen Minglong and said, "In the end, when I was teaching someone a lesson, they got the better deal, and I made a wasted trip!"

The leader, seeing that he was trying to change the subject again, said, "Alright, who told you not to join the team first before disciplining him? You probably can't control this kid!"

"It has to be someone even more successful than him."

Everyone looked at Chen Minglong with smiles.

Ji Huaizhi, who was being discussed, was lying on the ground with a straw hat he had made himself on his head.

There were indeed people and firelight in the cave ahead.

This place is very remote.

After walking a few kilometers, you'll be out of the mountains.

Therefore, it is difficult to detect.

Ji Huaizhi did not rush forward, but instead found a secluded spot next door and hid himself.

I ate some of the cold grilled meat and then took a nap here.

He was awakened by the sound of voices; it seemed the other person was having some kind of argument with someone they were with.

The two left together shortly afterward. Ji Huaizhi waited a while longer to make sure they wouldn't be coming back anytime soon before entering the cave.

There are traces of life inside, some food and drinks, and even a box of instant noodles in the corner.

They've obviously been here for quite some time.

[Host, they're back.]

Upon hearing this, Ji Huaizhi withdrew and went around the cave to hide on the other side.

"Ugh, how annoying! How could you forget to take something?"

"I didn't do it on purpose. Why did they ask us to get something? Couldn't they just bring it themselves?"

"What do you think? It's been so dangerous in the mountains lately. What if we run into them? What will happen to our plans?"

The other person fell silent: "When are you going to set the mountain on fire?"

"Just wait, it'll be in the next couple of days."

Then you can hear the two of them searching for something: "Got it, let's go. We need to be back before dark."

"I feel like I'm turning into a wild man after living in the mountains for so long."

Ji Huaizhi raised an eyebrow after hearing this.

Are they going to set the mountain on fire?

After confirming that they wouldn't come back, Ji Huaizhi went back in and rummaged through the things in the cave, even finding several packets of explosives.

They were exhausted after being on the mountain for the past few days, eating wild fruits and grasses or meat. They used their firewood to boil some water, and Ji Huaizhi ate two buckets of instant noodles.

The two of them were living a good life, with plenty of other food to eat.

After eating, Ji Huaizhi started working.

After it got dark, I put my straw hat back on, climbed up the tree, and waited for the rabbit to run into the tree stump.

~

The woods were pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. A light shone from afar, and there were rustling sounds ahead.

He propped himself up and looked in the direction of the light.

The tree branch swayed in mid-air because of his movement.

"It's so cold. Luckily I brought two bottles of wine to drink later and warm myself up."

"Okay, let's hurry up and go. The lights are too conspicuous at night. And they'll easily attract big guys."

"ah!"

The man in front of him had barely finished speaking when he accidentally missed a step and cried out. The people behind him thought he had twisted his ankle and spoke with a hint of reproach:

"What are you doing? Keep it down!"

"Get up!"

He didn't notice that the man crouching in front of him was in pain, and that the flashlight had accidentally fallen to the ground.

The man in front was in so much pain he couldn't speak, and only then did the man behind him realize something was wrong: "What's wrong?"
