"Oh, this treatment is different."
Lu Guichi poked Bo Ning with his elbow and winked at him, "Tell me the truth, did you two have an in-depth conversation last night? What happened that we don't know about?"
"I……"
Bai Ning was extremely embarrassed and glared at Lu Guichi, telling him to stop talking nonsense. However, he didn't know what to do with Bai Jing's things, so he declined politely, "I believe Miss Lin has made very thoughtful arrangements. Miss Bai, thank you for your kindness..."
But Bai Jing stuffed it directly into his arms, without giving him a chance to react, and turned and left.
Bo Ning was stunned. Seeing Bai Jing's footsteps so fast that he disappeared from his sight in an instant, he looked at Lin Wu, "Ms. Lin..."
"Take it, you deserve it." Lin Wu said.
Bo Ning had no choice but to nod, put it away, and go down along the chain.
Lin Wu and Lu Guichi followed, and then Bai Jing's men.
Everyone climbed down the chain to the reef. It took them five minutes, and then they used flashlights to cross the reef shore and boarded a large ship parked on the shore.
At Lin Wu's command, the ship broke through the waves and sailed away.
She walked to the bow and looked at the waves flying below. The sea was not calm. The waves became more turbulent in the night, as if heralding the coming storm.
After everyone checked their equipment, Lu Guichi and Bai Ning came to Lin Wu.
"At the current speed, we will reach the island where Shi Ying and others are in about forty minutes." Lin Wu said.
Lu Guichi handed the tablet to Lin Wu and said, "The positioning device worked. It shows that the positions of the two backpacks first stayed on the island you mentioned for nearly ten minutes, and then went east, west and north. I don't know if it was just Ji Jing, that woman, or if Shi Ying changed his mind and ran away."
Lin Wu glanced at Lu Guichi, took the tablet, marked the operations on it with his fingers, and suddenly paused.
"What's wrong?" Lu Guichi noticed Lin Wu's actions.
Lin Wu lowered his eyelids and said, "No matter who it is, judging by the speed at which they moved, they must have stolen the lifeboat and left. They left in such a hurry, our plan should be correct, it must be the Huo family, that is, Ji Jing."
When Bo Ning heard this, he said, "Ms. Lin, from what I heard from you earlier, your opponent seems to be very dangerous. Why don't you bring some people with you?"
Lin Wu shook his head and looked up at the dim sky. His voice was so faint that it seemed to be lost in the waves.
"No, I am enough to deal with this Huo family member by myself."
Bai Ning had never seen Lin Wu take action, but he thought that since Xu Xianhuai and Guan Chen both took him so seriously, his skills must be very good and it would be enough to deal with a woman, so he didn't say anything else.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, the destination island appeared in sight.
In the night not far away, a large ship was lying alone on the shore.
It was the boat that Shi Ying and others were on.
They quickly docked and went to the quiet ship first to see if Shi Ying and the others were inside. If not, they would have to go to the island to look for them. Fortunately, they didn't have to waste any more time and found Shi Ying, Shu Ye and Mary unconscious in the main cabin. Ji Jing was missing, and the two bags of minerals were also missing.
Lu Guichi and Bai Ning were stunned. "Looking for? Looking for Ji Jing? Didn't the location show that she ran away with the things?"
"Just in case. Bo Ning is going to use this ship to go to his place with Shi Ying. What if Ji Jing is ruthless and places explosives here? Wouldn't something go wrong halfway through the voyage?" Lin Wu said calmly, "Besides, Bai Jing's people will also ambush. We have to determine in advance whether there is a suitable place to hide on the ship?"
After hearing this, the two felt that what Lin Wu said made sense, so they dispersed and went to look for the place on their own.
Lin Wu went to the cabin where the lifeboat was stored, then looked at the hatch through which the lifeboat left the ship and went into the sea, opened it and took a look, and then returned to his original place.
After waiting for a while, other people came back one after another and said there was no problem.
Lin Wu said goodbye to Bai Ning, and returned to their boat with Lu Guichi, following the direction and route indicated by the positioning.
Besides them, there was also a boat driver on board.
The two sat at the bow, watching the flat-screen screen as their positioning point got closer and closer to another red dot.
"Hey, Ji Jing stopped!" Lu Guichi said.
Lin Wu opened the satellite map and compared it, and found that the place where the positioning stopped was also an isolated island, and it was quite large, four or five times larger than the previous island.
"Is this... the Huo family's base?" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
"Of course! It's right in front of us!" Lu Guichi said, "This island is so big, the Huo family's base should be hidden somewhere on it... Hey, the positioning device has stopped moving, it looks like it's here."
Lin Wu nodded, turned his head to look at the sea, and waited patiently for about an hour before arriving at the isolated island.
When it was really close to her, Lin Wu found that the island was bigger than she had imagined, and there was a small boat parked on the shore.
Lin Wu and Lu Guichi went down and first came to the side of the small boat. After confirming that it was from Shi Ying's big ship, they followed the direction indicated by the positioning and walked towards the island, entering a dense forest.
It should be the end of the rainy season here. The air in the clear forest is hot and stuffy, and insects and ants are still rampant. The tangled branches block the way, and the ground is muddy and difficult to walk on.
The two walked intermittently for half an hour, and encountered poisonous snakes and beasts during the period. Fortunately, they all had guns/weapons, so it was not difficult to deal with them. However, when they finally found the place where the movement stopped, they found that there were only two empty backpacks, and the things and people inside were gone.
"Hey, where is Ji Jing? Did someone come to pick her up?" Lu Guichi looked around and soon discovered something, "Wuwu! Look, there are footsteps here and there, and there is more than one person!"
Lin Wu heard what he said and followed what he said.
Lu Guichi was surprised, "That's weird. Weren't they the same group? Why did they split up? Did Ji Jing accidentally discover the tracking device, so she simply left her backpack here and took another bag away. Then she guessed that we were coming, so she split up to distract attention and successfully leave and return to the base?"
Lin Wu thought for a moment, "What you said makes sense. If that's the case, they should bring more people back to their base to capture the people who follow us. Then we'll be in danger."
Lu Guichi asked, "What should we do then? Should we continue to move forward? They all know we are coming. Wouldn't it be dangerous to continue to face them? How about this, should we return to the ship first and use your flares to contact if there are any people from the Five Oceans and Seven Islands nearby who can come to help? Or should we ask Bai Jing to lend us some help?"
"No, it's because they know we're coming. If we go back to look for them, it will also give them time to evacuate. Then my efforts during this period will be in vain."
Lin Wu said: "Let's go separately and follow their footprints to reduce the possibility of falling into danger and falling into their hands. Whoever finds it first will return and tell the other party not to fight hard. I will also contact Bai Jing to ask for the person."
