Upon hearing this, Ji Kong immediately gathered everyone together, left the small villa through the back door, and hid in the woods behind the house in the dark.
Yu Wan was walking too fast, and her foot slipped, causing her to fall and cry out in pain, "Ah—!"
Suddenly, Ji Kong covered her mouth.
Yu Wan's eyes flickered, and she leaned into his arms.
Ji Kong was worried that she would trip again, so he could only support her and follow the others into the depths of the forest.
Because they left in a hurry, there were still traces of life in the small house. Coupled with Yu Wan's call, it wasn't long before Mylis rushed over.
Mylis circled the small house and sneered, "They can't have gone far. Search them!"
"Yes, young master."
Everyone went out to look for the person, but after searching the entire neighborhood and offending several neighboring families, they still couldn't find them.
The group of people returned to the small villa dejectedly.
"Young Master, we've searched the entire area, but we still can't find them..."
"They're all useless!"
Furious, Mylis strode out of the house, then glanced back at it, suddenly staring at the trees behind the house, and said in a deep voice, "Did you search the woods?"
"Huh? Going into the woods so late?"
"Young Master, there are many snakes, insects, and rodents in the forest. Even if they go in, they certainly won't come out alive..."
"If I tell you to go, then go! Stop talking nonsense!"
Mylis kicked them one by one into the woods, leaving only one of his men with him.
In the forest, Ji Kong led the group through the woods.
He was very anxious, and Meng Wen was also very anxious outside.
Meng Wen watched helplessly as Myris's henchmen went into the woods to look for someone. After only two seconds of hesitation, he turned around, got back into his car, and drove around the woods.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that the forest was not very big.
So Meng Wen honked the horn every few seconds, hoping that Ji Kong and the others would hear the horn and come out.
He was worried that Ji Kong and the others would think they were safe once they entered the forest and wouldn't leave.
Once they are caught, they are no match for Myris's gang.
Meng Wen used the length of time the whistle was sounded to transmit secret signals.
Meanwhile, Gu Shiyi, Qin Buyan, and others successfully landed on the island under the cover of night.
But because it was night, they didn't see the marks left by Meng Wen.
However, they found Meng Wen's cave.
"Why are there so many supplies? Are they planning to spend the New Year in a cave?"
Qin Buyan was quite surprised and turned to look at Gu Shiyi: "Do you have any way to contact them? Are you going to wait here or go out to look for them?"
Gu Shiyi shook her head, choosing neither: "Let's just do it."
"Now?"
"Well, once we make our move, Meng Wen should be able to guess that he'll bring his men here, so we won't need to look for him anymore."
This is a simple and direct approach, but it's much better than searching for a needle in a haystack.
Qin Buyan understood.
"It's not a good time to act if it's light. Let's wait until it's dark and then blow this island to smithereens!"
"Let's scout the area first. We'll only kill pirates," Gu Shiyi said firmly.
Qin Buyan raised an eyebrow: "You don't actually think there are any innocent people on this island, do you?"
"The pirates not only rob gold and silver, but also people. If there are any, they'll take them back with them."
Gu Shi said as he walked.
After getting into the car, the group sped along the road. Before they even reached the downtown area, they saw Meng Wen drive past in a flash.
Qin Buyan exclaimed in disbelief, "Did I just see things?"
"You might be, but I'm definitely not. That's Meng Wen!"
After Gu Shiyi finished speaking, he used the walkie-talkie to notify the other vehicles to turn around.
Five minutes after the car turned around, it saw a car parked ahead, and Meng Wen got out!
When the two sides met, Gu Shiyi and Qin Buyan learned that they had been in trouble.
Gu Shiyi had the doctor who was traveling with him drive Meng Wen's car to the cave to treat the seriously injured, while he and Meng Wen went to rescue the others.
In the car, Meng Wen asked the others.
Gu Shiyi told him, "Gong Wujue has already led his team to the vicinity of the island where the Divine Envoy Organization's headquarters is located, while Twelve and the others have infiltrated the Four Young Masters' team and have already taken control of that coastal defense line."
"So fast?" Meng Wen exclaimed in surprise.
For some reason, Gu Shiyi felt a little guilty and only said four words: "Someone helped."
Meng Wen was even more surprised. They had both ended up on a small island. Thinking about his own situation, he realized that the Fourth Young Master had managed to develop an alliance. He was truly worthy of the title!
But in Gu Yunzhen's view, it was far from enough.
Like exiled foes, they guarded the first line of defense on the coast. Among them were many elderly men, some who had offended the twelve stewards, and others who were just loafing around and waiting to die. This made up a force of a thousand.
If they were to return to the island and fight against the elite troops of Tianlong Fortress, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
Therefore, all these people need to be replaced!
Gu Yunzhen left only a few people behind, such as Ding Gang and Hei Zi, and replaced the rest with his own people!
Qin Yiheng stayed on the ship for another three days. Watching the rising sun, he said, "After taking Tianlong Fortress, let's go straight to headquarters."
Gu Yunzhen hummed in agreement.
Like them, they all wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible.
Qin Yiheng suddenly turned his head, staring sharply at Gu Yunzhen: "What are Miss Ji's requirements?"
Gu Yunzhen calmly said, "I thought you wouldn't ask."
"snort!"
Qin Yiheng snorted coldly: "She's been watching you for so many days, but she hasn't spoken to you until you were chosen to guard the first line of defense. Only then did she come to find you in the middle of the night."
From this perspective, she has exceptional patience, and her ambitions are certainly significant. You said you made a deal—she helped open the gates of Tianlong Fortress—so what are you going to do? Take her away?
Gu Yunzhen frowned and corrected him, "It wasn't me, it was us, and you were there too!"
Qin Yiheng: "She's looking at you."
Gu Yunzhen: "So you're upset that she didn't look at you?"
"Damn it!" Qin Yiheng cursed, "I'll spare you today because of your older brother!"
Gu Yunzhen realized she had said the wrong thing, turned her face away, looked at the calm sea, and said in a low voice, "Take someone away, not her."
Qin Yiheng's temper flared up and subsided quickly. He said firmly, "Her brother?"
Gu Yunzhen uttered a name: "It's Masha."
"Doesn't she care about her brother?" Qin Yiheng had seen many sisters who were overly protective of their brothers, but he had never seen a sister who wanted her brother dead.
“Apart from Martha, there is no one innocent in Tianlong Fortress. My brother is young, but he has three lives on his hands. If he lives, the dead will not rest in peace.”
Gu Yunzhen repeated Ji Tiantian's original words.
"Is that so?" Qin Yiheng's expression was quite complicated. "This is like a bad bamboo producing a good shoot."
Gu Yunzhen remained silent.
After a long pause, Qin Yiheng clicked his tongue and said, "Both of them had parents who committed sins, but one blamed heaven and earth, while the other was righteous and understanding. It's a bit of a pity that he died."
Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly; he knew that the former Heng-ge was referring to was Yu Wan.
“Yu Wan and Ji Kong rescued Meng Wen’s team,” he said.
