However, at this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the distance, and the sound was particularly harsh in the silent forest.
The man's nerves immediately tensed up, and he hurriedly urged, "Hurry up and go!"
Shen Yuandao and Yan Zhi exchanged glances again. This time, their eyes were no longer filled with the tension and vigilance they had before, but instead flashed a barely perceptible smile.
The footsteps were getting closer, accompanied by the sound of vague conversations.
The man holding Qin Huaichuan hostage behind him began to get restless. He quickened his pace, urging Shen Yuandao and Yan Zhi to speed up from time to time.
Shen Yuandao and Yan Zhi nodded, but their pace did not speed up, but became slower and slower.
Until there was a big rock in front of him, Shen Yuandao's eyes flashed with cunning, he deliberately pretended not to see it and rushed straight towards the rock.
"Ouch!" Shen Yuandao shouted exaggeratedly, his voice full of pain, "It hurts so much, my leg hurts so much!"
He covered his knee with his hands, a painful expression on his face, as if he was really seriously injured.
Hearing the sound, all the people who were originally chasing rushed over here.
Yan Zhi and Shen Yuandao breathed a sigh of relief.
The man's face changed drastically. He glanced at Shen Yuandao and Yan Zhi viciously, ready to drag Qin Huaichuan away without caring about anything.
Who is Qin Huaichuan? He and Shen Yuandao work very well together. Seeing the person behind him trying to pull him away, he immediately stepped on the person's foot with such force that the person couldn't help but cry out in pain.
The man felt pain and the strength in his hands weakened instantly, and Qin Huaichuan took the opportunity to break free from his restraints.
Seeing her chance, Yan Zhi rushed forward without hesitation, her figure flashing like lightning. Before the man could react, Yan Zhi had already accurately kicked the dagger in his hand. The dagger was instantly kicked away, drawing a silver arc in the air, and then deeply embedded in the soil not far away.
Seeing this, the man's face suddenly changed. He roared and rushed towards Yan Zhi, waving his fists. Yan Zhi was not afraid at all. She was agile and dodged the man's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
Soon, the two were locked in a fierce struggle. Yan Zhi was agile, sometimes striking at the man's vital points, sometimes deftly dodging his attacks. Each of her strikes was filled with power, leaving one shuddering.
After a fierce struggle, Yan Zhi finally found a flaw. She seized the opportunity and kicked the man hard in the chest. The man screamed and was kicked backwards, falling heavily to the ground.
He struggled to stand up, but the severe pain in his chest prevented him from moving. He stared at Yan Zhi and Shen Yuandao viciously and said in a hoarse voice, "You are looking for death."
At this time, Shen Yuandao had also stood up. He walked to Yan Zhi's side, and the two of them worked together to suppress the man. They held the man's arms tightly, making him unable to move.
Just then, a group of people in police uniforms ran over.
They were all very surprised to see Shen Yuandao and Yan Zhi subduing the suspect. The leader was Song Qingshan, whom Shen Yuandao knew.
Song Qingshan walked over quickly and expressed his gratitude to Shen Yuandao and others: "Thank you very much, Shen Zhiqing, Qin Zhiqing and this comrade. This time it is all thanks to you."
Shen Yuandao smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Captain Song. I'll leave this person to you."
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and together with Yan Zhi, he released his hold on the man.
Song Qingshan nodded and signaled his men to take the man away.
Song Qingshan's grateful gaze swept over Shen Yuandao, Yan Zhi and Qin Huaichuan one by one.
"Thanks to you guys, otherwise this guy would have gotten away again."
Song Qingshan's voice was filled with gratitude. "If the cultural relics were stolen by them, it would be a disaster."
"Cultural relics?" Shen Yuandao blurted out. He immediately realized that it was inappropriate to ask this question. Just as he was about to explain, Song Qingshan took the initiative to explain.
"We received a report that cultural relics had been stolen from the mountains, so I brought my men to look for them. We discovered this man was acting suspiciously. Without giving it a second thought, we engaged him in a fight, but he was no match for us and escaped. Luckily, we ran into you guys."
When Shen Yuandao and Yan Zhi heard this, their expressions became solemn.
This person is most likely in cahoots with those who stole the cultural relics.
Shen Yuandao took a deep breath, then said: "Captain Song, this man may know something. He just asked us to take him to the place where the message was delivered, which may be about cultural relics."
Hearing Shen Yuandao's words, the people who were held by Song Qingshan's men glared at him fiercely, which made everyone more convinced of his suspicion.
Song Qingshan patted Shen Yuandao's shoulder, indicating that he understood what he meant: "Okay, I see. Thank you for the information. I'll come and thank you properly when I have some free time."
Yan Zhi took out his officer ID from his pocket and handed it to Song Qingshan: "Comrade, I am a soldier. I will stay here recently. If you need any help, you can come to me at any time."
Shen Yuandao also nodded and added: "Yes, we all know some kung fu, so we should be able to help."
Qin Huaichuan also echoed: "Yes, yes, I'll be there whenever you call."
Song Qingshan took Yan Zhi's officer ID and nodded as he looked at it: "Okay, I'll come and bother you when I need you."
"Then we'll take this person away first." After saying this, Song Qingshan waved to the three of them and turned away.
Shen Yuandao watched them leave, then turned to look at Qin Huaichuan and noticed the obvious scars on his neck.
"Let's go back and bandage your wound."
Qin Huaichuan nodded, and the three of them walked down the mountain.
Soon, they arrived at the doorstep of Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan.
Shen Yuandao stopped, turned to look at Yan Zhi and said, "You go back first, I'll take him to treat his wound."
Yan Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then come over and eat chicken later!"
After saying that, Yan Zhi strode towards the Yun family.
…
"I'm coming, I'm coming." Su Mianmian's voice came from the kitchen. She was preparing ingredients for dinner when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
She put down the kitchen knife and walked quickly to the door.
"Comrade Su, it's me." A familiar voice came from the door. It was Yan Zhi.
Su Mianmian opened the door immediately and saw Yan Zhi standing outside with a backpack on his back.
"Comrade Yan, you're back?" Su Mianmian smiled.
Yan Zhi walked into the house, put the backpack on the ground, and asked Su Mianmian while washing his hands: "Well, we shot a pheasant today, shall we have this for dinner?"
As he spoke, he opened the backpack and a fat pheasant came out.
Su Mianmian nodded repeatedly in surprise, "Okay, okay." She looked at the pheasant in Yan Zhi's hand, her eyes flashing with excitement.
