Fang Lei didn't stay with Lu Lingxi for a while before his colleagues called him to prepare for the mission. Because of the participation of border police in this operation, the large-scale search was handed over to the border police. The anti-drug police in Kunnan City cooperated with the local police and only needed to search a fixed area.
The area they were searching happened to be the area around the Rafflesia flower, so the local police hoped that the staff of the workstation could cooperate with them and lead the way in the rainforest. After all, there were vines everywhere in the rainforest, and there was no normal path at all. It was difficult for first-timers to find the right way just by identifying the direction. Of course, the police explained in advance that this operation would be dangerous, including the danger from the rainforest itself and the danger from the drug dealers who escaped the net, and did not force the staff to participate.
The two staff members looked at each other, hesitated for a few seconds and were ready to agree. Yan Yue took the initiative and said, "Let me lead the way."
Compared with the two staff members who are over 40 and good at research, the young and strong Yan Yue has better physical fitness and more physical strength. In addition, they may encounter a gunfight with drug dealers. Yan Yue, who has experience in fighting and shooting, is obviously more suitable for searching in the rainforest than ordinary staff. He does not need the protection of the police, nor will he be a burden to the police. He can even help the police. As for the most critical issue - leading the way, Yan Yue has memorized the route in and out after walking back and forth twice. Even if you encounter an uncertain place, there is still Xiao Hei to show the way, and there is no need to worry about getting lost.
When he said this, everyone was stunned.
Fang Lei immediately said: "Yan Yue, don't be so stubborn."
Yan Yue laughed and said confidently, "I'm not trying to be brave, but I'm more suitable for the job of leading the way than others. I've received combat and shooting training abroad, so I don't need police protection. Besides, I just went to the area near the Rafflesia this morning, so I still remember how to get there. Let me go."
He said this sincerely. The person in charge of this operation looked at Yan Yue and the other two staff members and patted Yan Yue on the shoulder after a while. "Okay, brother, you come."
Rather than watching the helpless researchers, the police preferred to take Yan Yue with them. Not to mention Yan Yue's better physical condition, Yan Yue's psychological quality was much stronger than the other two. And if they encountered a fight with drug dealers, Yan Yue's skills seemed to be able to protect himself, which was less troublesome than taking the other two staff members with him.
The matter was settled, and the person in charge of the operation found a bulletproof vest for Yan Yue. After Yan Yue put it on, he rubbed Lu Lingxi's hair and said softly, "Xiaoxi is unhappy?"
Lu Lingxi lowered his head and said nothing. He knew that this operation was very dangerous, and he also knew that Yan Yue's health was better than the other two staff members. Seriously speaking, it would be more appropriate for Yan Yue to go to the rain forest. But... it was precisely because of the danger that he didn't want Yan Yue to go.
Yan Yue knew what he was thinking and assured him, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon, nothing will happen."
Lu Lingxi nodded hesitantly and looked at Yan Yue seriously, "You promise?"
Yan Yue chuckled, his heart softened, and he said in a deep voice: "I promise."
He had just finished comforting Lu Lingxi when Fang Lei hurried over with Xiao Hui in his arms. "Xiao Xi, please help me take care of Xiao Hui."
Lu Lingxi agreed and reached out to take Xiao Hui, but Xiao Hui easily broke free from Lu Lingxi's arms and nimbly jumped onto Fang Lei's shoulder and stayed there steadily, as if he was going to go on a mission with Fang Lei. Fang Lei took it down again and let it stay by Lu Lingxi's side.
Xiao Hui: “Meow.”
Fang Lei had no choice but to discuss with it: "Little Gray, be obedient. I'll be back soon. Can we eat dried fish every meal after I come back?"
The little gray-gold pupils narrowed, and it waved its paw at Fang Lei unceremoniously, meowing loudly.
Fang Lei: “…”
The man and the cat could not reach an agreement, so Fang Lei had to agree to take Xiao Hui with him. Fortunately, Yan Yue was there, so Xiao Hui could stay with Yan Yue, and it would not be considered that Fang Lei violated the rules. The group quickly left the village and entered the rain forest. Lu Lingxi and Wang Chaoliang sent them to the edge of the rain forest.
After watching Yan Yue disappear, the two staff members looked at Lu Lingxi with an apologetic look. They were supposed to lead the way. "Xiaoxi, we..."
Lu Lingxi interrupted them, "Brother Yan is in good health and can run fast when in danger. He is the most suitable person to go."
Wang Chaoliang patted Lu Lingxi soothingly and said, "Those drug dealers won't stay in one place for a long time in the rainforest. They were near the Rafflesia this morning and must have left by now. Yan Yue and the others shouldn't be in any danger."
Lu Lingxi nodded vigorously, hoping that it would be like what Wang Chaoliang said.
Several people returned to the village together. When they were near the village entrance, they met a man dressed in local ethnic minority costume sitting on the side of the road, covering his feet, and seemed to be injured.
Wang Chaoliang kindly went over and asked, "What's wrong? Did you sprain your ankle?"
The man smiled bitterly and looked up, with a simple and honest face, "I was just looking for herbs in the woods and was accidentally bitten by a snake."
The few people did not suspect anything. Wang Chaoliang took the initiative to help the man up and asked, "Are you from this village?"
The man shook his head, pointed to the mountain in front and said, "I'm from another village over the mountain."
Wang Chaoliang hesitated for a moment and discussed with the man, "Then we will help you go back to the village in front to get some medicine, do you think it's okay?" The four of them, old and young, definitely could not send the man back to the other side of the mountain.
The man nodded gratefully and said loudly, "Thank you very much for your help."
When several people helped the man back to the village to get medicine, Yan Yue had already led a team of police to the place where he found the telescope. The police quickly spread out to the surrounding area to try to find more clues. Xiao Hui meowed, jumped from Yan Yue's arms to the ground, ran a few steps to the bottom of a tree, and squatted there without moving.
Fang Lei heard his cry, followed him, and searched carefully under the tree. After a while, he found a small pool of slightly black blood and a small handful of yellow powder under a few leaves. "What is this? Has anyone been injured here?"
A local colleague came over, rubbed the powder, sniffed it, and said affirmatively: "This is a kind of local medicine here. It is used to apply on the wound after being bitten by a snake." He carefully picked up the blood-stained leaves on the ground, and became more certain after seeing the black blood.
"Captain Wu, a drug dealer is injured. He must be the one who lost the telescope."
The man called Captain Wu rushed over after hearing the noise and quickly judged: "This man should be alone. He left in a hurry after being bitten by the snake, otherwise he would not have left the telescope behind and not been discovered. As for why he came here alone, he should have followed Yan Yue and the others." When he said this, he looked at Yan Yue, his tone very affirmative.
Yan Yue nodded without saying anything. The black dog wrapped around his wrist hissed twice, and Yan Yue's mouth curled up slightly when he heard it. The black dog was acting like a spoiled child to prove that it was still very useful. "Where do you think this person will go, Captain Wu?" Yan Yue asked.
Captain Wu frowned. "He's injured, but even if he's given medicine, he won't be able to move around very easily. He definitely can't survive in the rain forest alone. He should either find other people to join him, or risk leaving the rain forest to recover."
When he mentioned venturing out of the rain forest, Yan Yue looked at him fiercely. Captain Wu waved his hand, "I know what you are worried about, Yan Yue. I will contact the village right away and ask them to pay attention to an injured man. If he has not left the rain forest, then with him slowing down the speed, Scar's group will definitely not be able to get far. Let's continue searching, and we must not let them go this time."
The group continued to advance deeper into the rain forest, and Xiao Hui consciously jumped into Yan Yue's arms. Captain Wu looked at Xiao Hui and praised him, "This cat is quite amazing. It was the first one to discover the bloodstain just now."
Little Gray meowed and looked at Fang Lei proudly.
Fang Lei laughed when he heard this, and while Captain Wu wasn't paying attention, he whispered to Xiao Hui, "I know, Xiao Hui is the best, we'll have dried fish for dinner every day when we go back."
Xiao Hui: “Meow.”
