Chapter 397 We Are Not Bad People
After listening to his words, everyone kept these words in mind. After all, it was a magical herb. If they found it, they would have a future and it could also protect their families. It would be a win-win situation. Who wouldn't want it?
Ye Fan looked at these people and smiled. Suddenly, his eyes inadvertently swept to Li Yiyi who was standing outside the crowd.
The smile on his face froze, and then he walked towards her as if nothing had happened and greeted her, "Comrade Li, you are listening too."
Li Yiyi nodded at him, looking at him with a half-smile on her face, "Comrade Ye, I noticed that you seem to know a lot about this Hundred Immortal Grass. People who don't know would think you came here just for this thing."
When Ye Fan heard her words, the smile on his face froze again. After a while, he forced a smile and said, "Comrade Li, I am a little scared by what you said. I just saw that everyone was having such an interesting discussion over there, so I told them what I knew."
Li Yiyi smiled and nodded slightly, "So that's how it is. It seems I was overthinking it."
After saying that, she walked past him towards Gu Weiwei who was sitting in the crowd.
At the same time, Jiang Hong had just finished reading what Hong Shuo mentioned when another of his subordinates came over and informed him of something.
"You mean someone has been following us!" Jiang Hong asked with a frown after listening to his subordinates' report.
"That's right, Captain. The people who followed us have been controlled by us. However, they claim that they just want to use our protection to find their companions here. How do you think we should deal with this matter?" The soldier looked at him and asked.
Jiang Hong pursed his lips. Now he really wished he had a clone to help him deal with the things in front of him.
He sighed and immediately said to his men in front of him, "Come on, take me over to have a look."
Soon, under the guidance of the soldiers, Jiang Hong finally saw the tail that his men had intercepted.
They were two middle-aged men, and judging by the way they were dressed, they looked like researchers.
"You are the leader here, right? Hello, leader. We are really not bad people. We just want to use your guidance to go into the mountains to find our companions. Our companions entered this mountain a week ago and we haven't seen them since. We are going into the mountains to find them this time." One of the middle-aged men who was asked by the soldiers to sit on the ground saw that these soldiers were very respectful to the young man walking towards him, and immediately guessed that this man's identity must be extraordinary.
Jiang Hong nodded at him. "Hello, my name is Jiang Hong. You just said that your people also entered this mountain a week ago, right? Can you tell us if your people have any special marks?"
When Tang Qingwen heard his question, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Jiang Hong with unconcealed expectation and asked, "Commander, do you have any news about my companions? If it's a mark, let me think. By the way, the clothes they wear are the same as ours now, all blue work clothes. This is the uniform work clothes issued by our institute. They wore this clothes when they went into the mountains."
Jiang Hong took a look at the clothes they were wearing and felt that the clothes looked familiar. After a while, he remembered the pieces of human tissue he had just dealt with. There was a piece of clothing debris stuck on one of the human tissues, which was from the clothes worn by the two people in front of him.
"I think I may have found your companions for you. Come with me." He said to the two of them.
Tang Qingwen turned around and looked at Wu Botong behind him, and both of them had happy smiles in their eyes.
Jiang Hong saw the joy in their eyes and opened his mouth, but finally decided not to tell them about this matter for the time being and wait until they saw it in person.
"Comrade officer, I knew that if we followed you into the mountains, we would be able to find our companions. It seems that we followed the right people." Tang Qingwen said happily as he followed behind him.
Jiang Hong walked in front of them, listening to the two footsteps following behind him, and asked as he walked, "Why did your companions go into the mountains this time? Do you know that this mountain is very dangerous?"
"Of course we know. We are from the geological engineering department. We heard that the geology of Wushan is an excellent research object, so we planned to come here to take a look. It's just that our two companions were too impatient and went into the mountain first without doing any homework." Tang Qingwen did not hide anything from him and told him everything he had done.
Jiang Hong heard where they were working, looked at them with admiration, and then turned and walked forward. "Next time if you go to work somewhere else, I advise you to make preparations in advance. Safety is the most important thing. What do you think?"
"We know this, and we also pay great attention to safety. It's just that the two of them are too anxious and can't wait even for a whole day." Wu Botong also said.
After walking for a while, the two realized that they had passed by the place where the researchers were, and the road they took was a bit too detour.
"Comrade officer, where are you taking us? Shouldn't our companions be with those researchers?" Tang Qingwen finally showed a defensive expression in his eyes and asked him.
Jiang Hong stopped and turned to look at the two of them. "Don't worry, we're already here, just in front. Go over and see if it's your companion, right?"
When the two heard what he said, they both looked in the direction he pointed.
They saw a piece of cloth covering the front of them. When the two men saw it, their faces immediately turned pale and their legs became weak after taking a few steps.
Fortunately, the two of them supported each other when they fell, so they did not fall to the ground. In the end, the two of them supported each other and walked towards the piece of cloth on the ground.
Jiang Hong was standing not far away. After they walked past, he turned around and stopped staring at them.
Five minutes later, a choked voice came from behind him, "Comrade officer, we have confirmed that the human tissue on the ground is our companion. We want to ask, how did they disappear?"
"They must have encountered some large ferocious beasts after they walked into this deep mountain, and finally couldn't escape the mouths of those beasts." Jiang Hong explained to them what he had found out.
"I told them a long time ago not to rush into the mountains, but they just wouldn't listen. What should we do now? They've lost their lives. How are we going to explain this to their families when we go back?" Wu Botong knelt on the ground, holding his face with his hands and said sadly.
