Four people were tracking Jiang Yimei, while the rest stayed near the apartment to protect it from any sabotage.

Now, Lin Congzhi has met with three bodyguards, and there is one more left.

And this one is very likely still tracking Jiang Yimei.

The bodyguard was going on an adventure alone. Although he had a mountaineering team as his companions, if he got separated from them, encountered danger, or got lost, he would have difficulty getting help.

That's why he spoke up and berated the two bodyguards for not thinking about their companions.

The two bodyguards were so berated that they had no way to defend themselves.

They are indeed a bit selfish, which is understandable.

Seeing that the two bodyguards had nothing to say, Lin Congzhi stopped wasting words and asked, "Which way did they go?"

There are three paths in total, and each one has a high probability of success. We need to find out the exact path.

The third bodyguard pointed to a road on his left and replied, "Go this way."

Lin Congzhi immediately set off and walked up the mountain path.

The boss is doing everything himself, so how could they, as bodyguards, not follow along?

Those who work in this line of work should expect to encounter injuries and dangers one day.

Besides, three grown men together can fight off wild beasts; if they get lost, they can find their way back, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

As they ventured deeper into the area, the surrounding weeds multiplied, and the environment became increasingly harsh, making it nearly impossible to move forward.

As Lu Xun said, "There were originally no roads in the world, but as more people walked on them, roads were created."

At such a high altitude, the only people who come are the nearby villagers, and even when they do come, it's only occasionally, so it's only natural that the road is covered with grass.

It was already dark. If we continued searching under these circumstances, we might get lost or fall into the valley.

Anyway, the two bodyguards were not very willing to climb up.

"Mr. Lin, it's already dark. Without lights, it will be difficult for us to find our way."

"We're almost at the summit. If we give up at this crucial moment, wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain?"

Lin Congzhi certainly didn't want to give up halfway, and he wouldn't feel at ease for a moment if he couldn't see Jiang Yimei.

"The mountaintop?"

The situation wasn't so optimistic for the two bodyguards; they hadn't even seen a glimpse of the mountaintop yet.

"Mr. Lin, are you sure you want to take this risk?"

Lin Congzhi answered without hesitation: "Nonsense, why would I rush here if there were no risks? If you two don't want to come along, you can go back; but from now on, don't see me again."

This is undoubtedly a threat, but it is very objective and fair.

They didn't fulfill their duties, so why should Lin Congzhi hire them?

Lin Congzhi offered them a high salary, and they had families to support, so after some hesitation, they made up their minds.

A man as smart as Boss Lin wouldn't let himself die here. Staying by his side should ensure our escape.

"President Lin, we swear to follow you to the death and protect you."

"This is the bodyguard I want!"

With a satisfied pat on the shoulders of his two bodyguards, Lin Congzhi continued his journey, climbing the mountain.

However, after walking only twenty meters or so, thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Looking up at the sky, I saw that it was covered with dark clouds, and it looked like a torrential downpour was about to begin.

Seeing this, the two bodyguards who had just made up their minds wanted to back out again: "President Lin, let's go back. If it rains, we might get sick at best, or get lost, slip, or fall into the valley at worst."
