It was obvious that these people had accepted her plan. While it was still dark, she ran the computer again, controlling the system and inputting a few more codes. She went to the next room and woke up Zhuo Qiang: "Zhuo Qiang, we should leave."
Having just been drugged with sleeping pills, he could barely keep his eyes open, so he followed her into the dense forest. Zhuo Qiang had never been to a zoo before, and the sight of those soft animals gave him goosebumps. The ants under his feet, the mischievous monkeys overhead, and the terrifying snakes all made him feel uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a snake clung to Zhuo Qiang's shoulder, its tongue spitting out. Mu Zishan looked at him with amusement and said, "Don't move." He grabbed the snake with his bare hands and threw it back to the top branch.
"Zishan, aren't you afraid of these things?" he asked.
"I've been trained before." Her experience was much richer than he imagined. She had seen many primeval forests like this one, including those in Peru, India, and Africa. She had been there.
He really didn't know her well enough. At least in the years after she went abroad, even his brother didn't know what she had done. The sun gradually rose, and the sultry weather made him feel uncomfortable. After walking for a while, they came across a small village in the valley. There were still a few early-rising children picking mushrooms in the woods.
They walked up and although they could not understand what they were saying, they were still warmly welcomed by the villagers.
The children loved to gather around Zhuo Qiang, looking at his watch and playing with the other items in his bag. Mu Zishan quickly learned a few words of the local dialect and started chatting with the elderly people, roughly learning about the village's historical background.
Under the children's pestering, Zhuo Qiang had no choice but to give them all the things he had left, and then said goodbye to these simple people and left.
He walked behind her and looked at the worn compass in her hand: "Where did this come from?"
"An old man gave it to me."
He was a little confused. Why did she have everything on her? Moreover, the other party gave her something, but he gave away nothing. "That's weird."
Mu Zishan stopped and hid behind a rock after hearing the noises around him. He waited until the forest rangers had passed before coming out and saying, "Let's go."
"Are they a group?" Zhuo Qiang asked.
"It should be."
"Then how do you know?"
She turned around and looked at him: "Listen to what those old people said." She found that the people behind him had come back and pulled him forward. Soon she heard the sound of fighting, "It seems they have discovered us."
The two men waited there until dark before they continued to move forward. After spending more than ten hours, they finally saw a decent road.
The two men lay on the ground, looking at each other, their faces covered in red scars, almost unrecognizable from each other.
A police car passed by them and took them back to the city.
Two people in the hospital were on saline drips, and passersby couldn't help but glance at them. A doctor approached and said, "There are quite a few tourists like you these days. There's everything in that dense forest. Aren't you afraid?"
"There are just a lot of things I don't know." Zhuo Qiang joked.
"If you can recognize it, it's not called the primeval forest," he wrote on the medical record. "Just one more IV and you can leave."
He nodded, looked at Mu Zishan who was resting on the chair, and helped her tidied up the hair that had fallen in front of her to the back.
It was already daytime when she left the hospital. Mu Zishan answered a passerby's phone and made a call. After waiting for about an hour, a beggar in tattered clothes and looking half sleepy came up to her and gave her some cash and some information.
Zhuo Qiang watched this series of odd movements and began to look at Mu Zishan with a new respect. She wasn't as fragile as she appeared, and on the contrary, she seemed quite intelligent.
The two got in a taxi and arrived at a hotel. They went up to the second floor, where Shan Cong opened the door. There were also some police officers inside. They changed into clean clothes, and Zhuo Qiang looked at her as she handed them a map with the secret mamas marked on it. They quickly locked onto their target with the help of local police and began their operation.
Shan Cong drove them to the airport. The moment they got on the plane, the operation there had already begun and their boss was arrested.
He had a vague feeling that someone was watching her, but the feeling quickly disappeared.
Li Sir waited for them at the airport, received a USB drive from her, and immediately sent it to the Information Bureau: "Thank you for your hard work."
But she didn't buy his story and went back to the courtyard with Zhuo Qiang.
The news quickly broke that day, revealing another major police case. Her nickname, "Miss Detective," reappeared online, this time with even greater mystery. Some speculated that this "Miss Detective" was actually a man, disguised as a woman when necessary.
Seeing the discussion on his phone, Zhuo Qiang, who was drinking water, choked and said, "Ahem, cough, cough, Miss Detective is a man?" He shook his head, not caring about it. He asked Aunt Lin to make some juice and started to deal with company matters.
He also called his secretary and told her to make some time so he could go to the zoo.
"Yes!" The secretary, who was working on documents at the company, checked her phone and confirmed it was Mr. Zhuo calling, somewhat surprised. Then, following his instructions on the phone, she had the company's staff quickly process Yan Mei's contract. With the loss of a female star at their entertainment company, they needed to quickly recruit a new talent. She had more and more to do.
Shan Cong had become a frequent visitor to the courtyard during this time. He was curious about the trip to Yunnan and asked Zhuo Qiang some questions, but was very disappointed. "How could she have provided information to the criminals? You couldn't have escaped so easily."
"That's exactly what happened."
"Forget it," he stood up, "I'd better go and ask Zishan for help. You're making it sound too simple."
"It is indeed..." Seeing him leave resolutely, "Why don't you believe it?"
Aunt Lin brought some water and said, "Looking at the child, I think he probably worships Zishan."
Zhuo Qiang felt a little jealous when he heard her say this: "A not-so-good admirer."
Aunt Lin stopped talking and went to the yard to take care of the flowers and plants.
He was a little worried, so he went to Mu Zishan's study and sat aside watching the two of them talk.
"How did you determine the exact location of that base?"
“Through satellites,” she said. “They use the same satellites as the ones in the village, just to hide from the police.”
"So that's how it is," Shan Cong continued, "When you get off the car and investigate, be sure to take me with you so I can learn from you."
"Okay," she pointed to a person's file on the table, "but you have to help me check him out."
