After leaving the cave, Feng Lingyu walked a little further away.
Du Ji's suggestion hit the spot. Even if he didn't say it, she would find a chance to come out.
Tuanzi and Jinzi emerged from the bushes nearby.
They just went to inquire about the situation for Feng Lingyu.
She hasn't figured out the specific situation of the group of people outside yet, so she definitely can't just listen to Dr. Ke and the others' one-sided story.
“Squeak! Squeak!”
“Ouch~”
Jinzi and Tuanzi chirped and reported to Feng Lingyu the news they had just heard.
Feng Lingyu frowned, "You said those bad guys captured two people? And asked them for something?"
It seems that Du Ji did not lie, Feng Lingyu pursed her lips.
…
"Boss Lei, those two are being stubborn and still refuse to speak!"
They hid in the woods for the whole day and finally caught these two guys, but unfortunately, they were tough nut to crack!
Boss Lei grinned, his eyes full of cold light, and said fiercely: "I want to see how hard their bones are!"
"Take off their coats and don't let them eat!"
In this forest, he has plenty of time to waste with them!
Cheng Lu and Li Ziping had just been beaten and kicked, and both of them now had bruises on their faces.
Especially Cheng Lu, his health has been poor to begin with, and now he is breathing out more than breathing in.
"Li Ziping, I'm afraid I can't go on. You have to hold on... cough cough..." Cheng Lu said in a low voice.
At this time, Cheng Lu and Li Ziping were tied to a tree with their hands behind their backs. Boss Lei only left a few people to guard them, while the others went to continue capturing Dr. Ke and the others.
"Don't talk nonsense, you'll be fine." Li Ziping lowered his eyes and replied in a low voice.
"Hehe, actually I've known for a long time that there's a traitor among us... I originally suspected you, but now it seems that I guessed wrong and ended up hurting you." Cheng Lu showed a guilty expression on his face.
"How did you know there was a traitor?" Li Ziping was puzzled.
Cheng Lu smiled bitterly, "Before Dr. Ke came, we lost several experimental data. Doesn't this explain the problem? I was just guessing before, after all, the higher-ups forbid discussion. But the current situation... ahem... already explains the problem."
"What I'm most afraid of now is that the traitor is right next to Dr. Ke, Du Ji and Fan Fei. Although I don't want to doubt them, they are too suspicious!"
"Even if they get the box, it will be useless unless Dr. Ke tells you the password. Don't worry." Seeing that Cheng Lu's face turned red with excitement, Li Ziping hurriedly comforted him.
"Hey, what are you two doing? Aren't you afraid of the cold? If you want to survive, give out Dr. Ke's location!" The two remaining minions grinned.
"We really don't know anything. Dr. Ke is very mysterious. How could he tell these secrets to two small characters like us? Brothers, please bring some clothes over. My colleague is almost freezing to death!"
Li Ziping anxiously begged the two people who were guarding them, and Cheng Lu's mouth corners had begun to turn dark.
The two men looked over when they heard this. Cheng Lu's condition did not look very good. He hadn't said anything yet. If he died like this, they would be in big trouble when the boss came back.
So they both came over cursing and took two pieces of clothes, wanting to put them on Li Ziping and Cheng Lu.
"You two, please don't be so ungrateful...ah..."
"What are you doing!?"
Following two screams, in front of Cheng Lu's incredulous gaze, Li Ziping suddenly raised his hands and strangled the two men's necks with a rope.
A few minutes later, Li Ziping helped Cheng Lu untie the ropes, and the two men who were guarding them were tied to the tree.
Cheng Lu was a little confused. He didn’t know that his colleague was so capable!
When did Li Ziping untie the rope?
"Tell me, who are you?" Li Ziping interrogated one of them with a knife.
"We are just ordinary people..."
"Who is Boss Lei?"
"He...he is our boss..."
Hearing these two foolish answers, Li Ziping's face darkened and he moved his knife forward, "Tell the truth! Otherwise, you will lose your life!"
"Brother... I just did the job for money, I don't know anything. That Boss Lei has his own confidants who always follow him around!" The little henchman who was questioned was so scared that tears came out, and he answered stutteringly.
"Li Ziping, I don't think they are lying. Let's run while Boss Lei is away... We have bought Dr. Ke and his men a day today, so they should have run very far."
Cheng Lu pursed his lips, took a step forward and said that he felt the two men were telling the truth.
Li Ziping looked at him deeply, nodded and said, "Okay, let's run first."
In the snow, Li Ziping supported Cheng Lu and walked slowly, taking one deep step and one shallow step.
"I don't know where Dr. Ke and the others are now. If we are caught by Boss Lei, we will be guilty of a serious crime this time." Cheng Lu said worriedly.
Seeing that he was still so worried, Li Ziping replied, "Don't worry, as long as they don't have the password, they won't do anything to Dr. Ke even if they catch him. We just need to hold on until reinforcements arrive."
Li Ziping knew clearly that this group of people came for the things in the box, and Dr. Ke himself was not important at all.
"What if Dr. Ke... leaks the password? You've seen what Boss Lei is doing. If Dr. Ke can't stand the torture and tells the password, we're all doomed!"
Li Ziping frowned, "He shouldn't be that stupid."
"Boss Lei doesn't know the password to the box. If he breaks it open by force and finds out that the things inside are destroyed..." When he said this, Cheng Lu's already pale face turned even more pale.
I thought Li Ziping would agree with what he said, but he just sneered: "Didn't you say there was a traitor? The news has already spread, how could he not know."
Cheng Lu was startled, "You are right."
"But...but if Dr. Ko is killed and he is the only one who knows the password, then the box can't be opened, right?"
Li Ziping twisted his right fingers behind his back. This Cheng Lu...
Just as he moved his right hand, a figure suddenly emerged from the woods in front.
"Who is it?" Li Ziping shouted.
"Brother... I'm just out hunting..." A young man wrapped tightly appeared.
He raised his hands in surrender.
Li Ziping looked at the thing on his wrist and his eyes narrowed!
