"I was negligent, Mr. Crow. I didn't expect that beast to be able to smell the scent of lacquer flowers. Fortunately, I had a backup plan and let Xue Ziqi become the scapegoat, so our identities were not exposed."
"So what? What a golden opportunity! The He and Wen families, and the treasure within easy reach! And yet it's all gone in the blink of an eye!"
Cheng Ruolin was scolded so much that she dared not say a word.
"What are you still standing there for? Let's go! That old immortal is our last resort. Let's use him to lure out the Luo people first!" said the old crow harshly.
He was about to return home, but he hadn't even met the Luo tribe yet, and he was extremely anxious.
His illness can't be delayed any longer.
Even if those people were not killed and the plan failed, he didn't have time to wait any longer!
"yes."
Cheng Ruolin responded in a low voice.
It was already the middle of the night. The two of them took advantage of everyone's sleep and managed to avoid the crew members on duty and sneak out, but they didn't have much time left.
The two men walked forward quickly.
At this moment, a crisp sound of a dead branch breaking rang out in the quiet forest.
"who!"
Cheng Ruolin quickly turned around and looked towards the source of the sound with a vigilant look.
Xue Ziqi bit his lips hard, not daring to make a sound.
She never thought that she would be framed by the people around her!
This kind-hearted lady who is praised by everyone in Beijing!
This good sister who was gentle and considerate when she was down!
As a result, after all this time, I found myself to be nothing more than a pawn in someone else's hands, ready to be used as a scapegoat at any time!
She and Professor Gou had almost no interactions in normal times, but she didn't expect that they knew each other and had even planned to poison all of them!
After accidentally hearing the conversation between the two, Xue Ziqi was completely stunned!
Seeing Cheng Ruolin slowly walking towards her hiding place, Xue Ziqi's eyes were filled with fear and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
If this goes on, they will be discovered sooner or later. Once they know their true identities, they will definitely be dead.
Run!
Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope!
Xue Ziqi gritted his teeth, turned around and ran towards the camp.
But she sprained her ankle when she fell down the slope, so how could she run faster than Cheng Ruolin, who was as fast as lightning?
He was soon caught by Cheng Ruolin who jumped down the slope.
"I didn't hear anything, really, Sister Ruolin, I really didn't hear anything, please let me go!"
Seeing the sharp weapon in Cheng Ruolin's hand, Xue Ziqi was frightened out of his wits and begged for mercy.
"You didn't hear anything? Then why are you begging me to let you go?"
"I, I... I'm afraid you will catch me and take me back." Xue Ziqi said in a panic.
"Alright, why bother wasting time with this scapegoat? Wouldn't it be better to let her commit suicide out of fear of the crime?" Old Crow looked down at Xue Ziqi, as if he were a lifeless object. "I'm going to take that old bastard away first. Once you've dealt with them, meet me back here."
"yes."
Cheng Ruolin took the piece of paper thrown by Lao Ya. Xue Ziqi took the opportunity to escape, but she twisted him and made him kneel on the ground.
This time, before Xue Ziqi could even open his mouth to beg for mercy, he had already dealt with the man swiftly.
After a few weak cries for help, Xue Ziqi fell silent.
Cheng Ruolin picked up the person and threw him into a dark place. She covered him with some dead branches and leaves before leaving.
At the same time, Wen Xi and his group were being led by Xiao Ba towards this side.
The smell of blood hasn't dissipated yet.
Xue Ziqi was found quickly.
His body was covered in blood, which was still flowing.
Zhuang Yi hurriedly squatted down to check.
"Not breathing."
"Is there still hope?" Wen Xi frowned.
