The leader looked around, a hint of doubt in his eyes. He turned to the old man and said sternly, "Are you the only one in this house?" The old man replied hastily in a trembling voice, "Yes...yes, I'm just a poor old man, there's no one else here." The leader frowned, feeling that something was amiss, but he couldn't find any evidence.
Just then, a wolf strolled in leisurely from outside. It was tall and large, and when it saw the group of people, it revealed a fierce look in its eyes. The group of people who had been so arrogant just now gripped their guns tightly when they saw such a ferocious beast.
"Little Yellow, don't be rude!" the old man scolded the wolf, and the wolf stopped walking towards them and turned to walk towards the old man.
She walked up to the old man and rubbed against his thigh affectionately.
"Old man, is this wolf your pet?" the leader asked, gripping his gun tightly, afraid that the ferocious wolf would pounce on him.
The old man gently stroked the wolf's head. "Yes, its name is Little Yellow, and it has always followed me."
At this moment, a henchman walked up to the leader, leaned close to his ear, and said, "Boss, let's go. Even this old man didn't dare to hide anyone, and look at this place, it's completely exposed, there's no way to hide anyone. Besides, he's having trouble walking himself. Also, this wolf looks very fierce, it wouldn't be good if it bit any of the brothers." After saying that, he swallowed hard, his legs trembling slightly. He was most afraid of large, ferocious animals like this.
The man looked around again and saw that there was nothing unusual.
"Old man, if you see an injured man, be sure to report it to us immediately. This is my phone number. If you have any information, we will reward you handsomely."
"Okay, sir, okay." The old man immediately bowed and scraped, hoping to get rid of these scoundrels as soon as possible; he found them annoying to look at.
Seeing that the old man had a good attitude and seemed honest, the leader led his gang away in a flurry.
Master breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the people had left, but he didn’t dare to let Xiao Qianqian and the others up immediately, for fear that they would come back. So he went to the edge of the medicinal herb field and continued weeding.
The group of ruthless men hadn't gone far. Fearing the old man might be up to something, they hid nearby and observed him for several hours. Only when they saw that the old man wasn't doing anything and was just weeding in the field did they feel relieved and leave.
As dusk fell and night descended, the temperature on the mountain dropped lower and lower. Only then did the master return to the wooden house with his hoe. He walked to the picture, pressed a switch, and the floor began to rise.
Xiao Qianqian burst out laughing when she saw her master's dark face.
"Master, you've lied to me again?"
"No, I'm perfectly fine now, you know!" he said, tapping her head with his finger.
"How is that man?"
"She was still unconscious, and I gave her the medicine again halfway through."
"Yes, I should be able to wake up tomorrow or the day after."
"Master, will those people come back?"
"Probably not. They saw that I was weak and helpless, and besides, my place is simple and there's no way to hide anyone here. They've probably already gone back to report."
"That's good." Xiao Qianqian patted her chest.
"Master, have you figured out what kind of poison that is?"
"That poison was developed by that scoundrel. Now it seems he has sided with a group of wicked people." The master finished speaking with a look of regret on his face. He had raised this person since he was a child. He was abandoned in a trash can, and the master took pity on him and took him home. He taught him medicine and poisons, hoping that he would benefit mankind in the future. He never expected that this person would be wicked and that his medical skills were terrible. He was very interested in poisons. Later, the master discovered that the poisons he had developed were being used to harm people, so he was furious and expelled him from the master's school.
"I never imagined he would do something so heinous," Xiao Qianqian said indignantly.
"That scoundrel's poison skills have improved considerably." Master sighed, a worried look on his face. Xiao Qianqian said angrily, "Master, what do we do next? We can't just let that scoundrel continue to do evil!"
The master pondered for a moment and said, "We must find a way to find him and stop him from poisoning more people. But he is currently elusive, so finding him will not be easy."
A resolute glint flashed in Xiao Qianqian's eyes. "No matter how difficult it is, we have to try. After all, his poison skills have improved considerably, and who knows how many innocent people he will harm in the future."
The master nodded. "You're right. But before that, we need to protect the poisoned man. Once he wakes up, we might be able to get some clues from him."
"good."
The next morning, a thick fog enveloped the lush forest, instantly shrouding it in a mysterious veil. At the foot of the mountain, several black Pasades were parked.
The car door opened, and an elite-looking man stepped out. More than a dozen men in black suits got out of the cars behind him.
A man in a black suit stepped forward. "Assistant Zhang, we've traced the boss's signal to where it disappeared."
This Assistant Zhang is Ye Bosen's assistant and good brother, Zhang Qi. He went to the branch office to handle some business that day, but when he came back, he heard that the boss had been framed. He doesn't know what the situation is now, or if he is in grave danger.
His face was filled with worry. "Are you sure the signal disappeared here?"
"Yes, Assistant Zhang."
He gazed at the mysterious forest, with its cliffs and precipices. Going in now would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention the many wild animals in the forest. It would be extremely dangerous for the boss to go into such a forest, especially with a group of people chasing him.
Zhang Qi frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Prepare ropes, we're going into the mountains to search."
The group prepared their equipment and entered the forest.
As Zhang Qi walked, he observed his surroundings. Suddenly, he noticed some strange marks, like footprints. Delighted, he followed the footprints. After walking for a while, one of his men ran up to him. "Assistant Zhang, look, there's dried blood here!"
Zhang Qi hurriedly went over, squatted down and looked at the ground. There was indeed blood, and they also found several bullet casings not far away.
Looking at the bloodstains and bullet casings, Zhang Qi was certain that the bloodstains belonged to the boss. It seemed that the boss was injured, and he didn't know where the boss was now.
"Follow the trail of blood, and get a few more people involved to expand the search area. Look carefully."
"yes."
They searched a large area following the bloodstains but couldn't find Ye Bosen. The bloodstains also ended near a large tree.
