"Don't try to play tricks on me. I studied psychology, and I can tell if someone is lying at a glance. Don't risk your life."
For some reason, her tone was very soft, but it inexplicably made the man feel a little scared.
He really did just want to say it casually.
But at this moment, he felt a little scared.
There was a hint of madness hidden in this woman's eyes.
He dared not gamble.
“We’ve searched most directions, except for the southwest, where there’s a foggy forest that we haven’t been to.”
"But we don't plan to look anymore. We can leave as soon as tomorrow is over."
Jiang Ningxi frowned. "What do you mean? You haven't found the person yet, have you?"
The man swallowed hard again and continued, "Because those people haven't eaten or drunk anything for seven days, they'll probably starve to death even if we don't find them."
"What? Didn't your employer demand that we see them alive or dead?" Jiang Ningxi asked with a sneer.
She saw the guilty look in the man's eyes and knew she had guessed correctly.
"You're not being honest, are you!"
After saying that, he drew out a gleaming dagger.
The man panicked and quickly added something else.
“The employer does have such a requirement, but this island is neither too big nor too small. What if the other party has already been eaten by wild animals?”
As he spoke, his eyes flickered, and he lowered his gaze.
Jiang Ningxi understood and chuckled, "Oh, so you mean if you really can't find Xie Jinxing, you'll just make up some of Mr. Xie's luggage and bloodstains to fool that employer, right?"
As he spoke, he patted the other person's cheek with the cold dagger.
"You guys make money pretty easily."
"There's one more thing: who hired you, and how many of you are there in total?"
The man swallowed hard a few times. “We never ask about the employer’s identity. That’s the rule. There are five of us here this time.”
"I've told you everything you need to know, now let me go."
Jiang Ningxi smiled and said, "Okay."
In an instant, a fierce glint flashed in the man's eyes.
But the next second, he suddenly saw a white light flash in front of him.
Then, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and his whole body spun around, and he completely lost consciousness.
Upon seeing the person who had fainted, Jiang Ningxi let out a snort of laughter.
Then, he used silver needles to prick several acupoints on his body.
They wouldn't stop until they made sure he didn't wake up for several hours.
Then they searched his body.
A dagger, a traffic light, and a cell phone were found.
However, the phone is locked and cannot be opened for the time being.
After collecting everything, she took out a rope from her backpack, tied the person to a nearby tree, and gagged them.
Then he clapped his hands, turned around, and walked southwest.
During this time, he used his own mobile phone to contact Chen Yue and the others, telling them that there were four more opponents on the island.
After walking for a while, I could clearly feel that the temperature around me was getting lower and lower, and the light around me was getting dimmer and dimmer.
However, she has excellent night vision, so she doesn't need a flashlight.
Chen Yue and his group had experience in the wild and could still walk even without light.
It took another hour or so to walk.
Jiang Ningxi glanced at her watch; it was already past nine o'clock at night.
After resting for ten minutes and eating some compressed biscuits, we continued on our way.
Fortunately, she had enough stamina; most people definitely couldn't handle it.
During this time, she inquired about Chen Yue and the others' location and situation.
He sighed after learning that he had still come up empty-handed.
Just then, her ears twitched, and she noticed some noise around her.
Without saying a word, she quickly hid behind a large tree nearby.
The movement was very subtle; it certainly wasn't a large prey.
It's either a small animal or a person.
But when she was about to wait and see what it was, the commotion stopped.
She was sure she hadn't misheard.
Now that there's been no movement, there's only one possibility.
The noise just now was made by a person!
Since that's the case, let's wait and see who can outlast whom.
Perfect timing, I can take a break.
Thinking about it, she hugged her arms, leaned against the big tree behind her, and closed her eyes.
Meanwhile, Lin Ling, who was hiding behind the bushes not far away, also felt something was strange.
She hadn't expected that the person opposite her would be even more composed than she was.
This made her feel that something was wrong.
If it were the people chasing her, they wouldn't have been able to remain so calm and patient; they would have already rushed over and fought her.
Thinking this, a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.
After a while, it moved its mouth and made a series of "bugu" sounds.
Jiang Ningxi, who was resting against a big tree, suddenly opened her eyes.
A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
What's going on?
The other person actually imitated bird calls to her?
wrong!
This shouldn't be an accomplice of the man she just hit.
If not...
It's very likely Xie Jinxing's people?
Thinking of this, she opened her mouth and imitated the call of a cuckoo a few times.
Lin Ling, who was on the other side, heard this.
...What the heck? I don't understand!
Who is this?!
So I simply stopped pretending and started speaking directly.
Hey! Hey there, who are you?
I heard a clear yet slightly deep voice coming from the other side.
Jiang Ningxi raised an eyebrow, her pink lips slightly parted, "Xie Jinxing is my man, what are you to Xie Jinxing?"
