Chapter 428 Yiyi, it seems like you don’t know me that well.
Although the mountain crabs and loaches were not very filling, they at least filled her stomach. Meng Zhiyi didn't mind and waited for Shen Que to light a fire and roast them for her.
Shen Que didn't catch many, only about a dozen or so, but they were very small.
After the fire was lit, Shen Que tied up the mountain crabs with rattan sticks and pierced the loaches with wooden sticks and roasted them over the fire. Soon, bursts of fragrance wafted out.
Meng Zhiyi watched eagerly until the crab shells were roasted red. Only then did Shen Que use a leaf as a container and put the mountain crabs and loaches on it for her.
"I'm unhappy without my chili powder." Meng Zhiyi grabbed a crab and gnawed on it, only to find that it was just the shell. He gnawed so hard that he felt no desire to live.
Shen Que couldn't bear to see her suffer like this, but the situation was special, so he could only get up and prepare to go back to the woods to see if there was anything else to eat.
Meng Zhiyi reached out and held him back: "Don't go. Just eat something to cushion your appetite. You haven't eaten anything today."
Shen Que felt okay and could hold on even without eating.
But Meng Zhiyi couldn't do that. Her body had been tortured to the point of being exhausted inside and out while in the Yang family, and it had only been a short time since she recovered.
The two of them replenished their energy, took a short rest, and then continued to chase the criminals into the mountains following the traces left by them.
When it was getting dark, the two had already arrived at the border. Not far ahead, a wire fence appeared, stretching along the mountain range like a sleeping giant python.
"How did they climb over such a high iron net?" Meng Zhiyi walked forward and looked up at the iron net in front of him that was about three or four meters high.
The top of the iron net is bent downward and inward, and it is not very easy to climb over.
"There are border guards patrolling the border, but they can't prevent people with ulterior motives from using individual means to cross the border. Go forward and see if you can find a gap that the criminals have crossed."
Meng Zhiyi nodded, then followed Shen Que along the border.
This place is already the heart of the primeval forest and generally no one would set foot there. Even residents living on both sides of the border would at most stay at the edge of the foot of the mountain and would never go so deep.
The two walked forward for a while, and as expected, they saw a man-made "dog hole".
The hole was dug along the bottom of the iron fence and is about the size that a person can drill through at a time.
Meng Zhiyi turned around, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "Master Shen, you are going to drill a hole~~"
Shen Que listened to her joking tone, pinched her cheek unhappily, and jokingly said, "Doesn't Miss Meng want to come too?"
The two of them joked with each other for a while, but finally resigned themselves to their fate and prepared to get through.
Meng Zhiyi just stepped forward, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Que and asked, "Wait, what we are doing now, is it considered illegal crossing the border?"
Shen Que pursed his lips and nodded seriously on his handsome face: "Okay."
"..." Meng Zhiyi blinked, a sly look in his eyes: "Then we can say that we were forced to cross the border by the criminals."
Hearing this, Shen Que smiled.
I thought she would say something shocking.
"Let's do it this way." After saying that, Meng Zhiyi bent his head and went straight over.
Next is Shen Que.
At that time, on the other side.
After the director called the police, the local police quickly took action and discussed a strict and safe action plan.
As a result, after searching in the woods for just a while, they saw Meng Tinglan and others walking out of the woods.
"Police, it's the police!"
Someone shouted, and the rescue dog immediately started howling.
When those who had been kidnapped saw the police, they felt like they had seen their second parents. They ran over crying and shouting that they wanted to go home.
The police who came to search and rescue were also confused and could only comfort them patiently.
However, after hearing that the criminals were still in the woods, the police did not dare to delay and assigned some police officers to take these people down the mountain first, while the other police officers continued to go into the mountain.
"Oh, there are two more people. They might be going to catch the escaped criminals." The man who had just asked Meng Zhiyi to help them rescue people grabbed one of the policemen and said.
"Okay, we got it. You guys go back first and leave the rest to us."
Most of the people dispatched for the rescue were border guards, who had rich combat experience and quickly found the location of the wooden house.
All they saw were the criminals tied to the trees, having lost their ability to fight, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"This knot is interesting. Could it be the border guards patrolling the mountains?" one of them said.
"I'm not sure, but he must be quite skilled to have been able to take down all these criminals at once. He could also be a special forces soldier carrying out a mission nearby."
"Should we continue to chase them? We are not far from the border. The man just said that there are more criminals who have escaped. They must be running towards Myanmar."
"Chase them. Even if we can't catch them, we have to find the gap in the border and fill it. It's not peaceful there lately. We need to prevent people from sneaking across the border."
"Control these people first, and the rest of you continue to search the mountain."
At the leader's command, the team was divided into two teams, one team took the criminals down the mountain, and the other team continued to move forward.
As the sky darkened, the forest also fell into darkness.
Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que finally got down the mountain at the fastest speed, and because of the terrain here, they had lost track of the criminals for a long time.
There was no other choice but to temporarily go to the village at the foot of the mountain to see if they could find a place to stay.
But when he arrived at the village, Meng Zhiyi was dumbfounded.
Because they were recording the show, both of them had their cell phones handed over to the show crew for safekeeping, and they were penniless at the moment.
"Let's go back to the mountains and find a tree to sleep under." Meng Zhiyi said with an awkward smile.
Shen Que was left speechless and amused by her suggestion.
Even after knowing each other for such a long time, Meng Zhiyi still didn't seem to truly understand the true identity of him, the president of Shen Corporation.
"Borrow a phone from a villager. I'm looking for someone." Shen Que said calmly, then led Meng Zhiyi into the village.
Fortunately, it was not too late. After the two found a small shop in the village, they heard Shen Que communicating with the other party in Burmese.
Meng Zhiyi widened his eyes and looked at the people around him in shock.
After Shen Que borrowed the phone and made a call, the person on the other end answered the call quickly. After learning that it was Shen Que, his tone immediately became respectful.
"Okay, someone will be here to pick us up soon."
After Shen Que returned the phone to the shop owner, he saw Meng Zhiyi staring at him and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Meng Zhiyi: "You can actually speak Burmese? And who was the person you just called?"
Shen Que patiently explained: "Shen's has many multinational projects, and there happens to be one here."
After saying this, he leaned down slightly, his dark eyes locked tightly on the person in front of him, and whispered, "Yiyi, it seems like you don't know me that well."
