The person who arrived was Xiao Weiguo.
After arranging for all the supplies to be delivered to the town, he still felt uneasy.
In the early hours of the morning, I joined the next group of people who had gone into the mountains and walked here.
He hasn't slept for a day and a night now.
The search and rescue team required highly technical skills, and Xiao Weiguo, who had grown up on the plains, gave up the idea of personally going in to search for Jiao Bai.
He knew that his strength was limited, and going in would not only be of no help but also cause trouble. If things went wrong, he might not only fail to find Jiao Bai but also get himself caught in the crossfire.
The best option he could do was to do his best in logistical work and ensure the supply of materials for the team members.
Just as he was filled with worry and concerned about Jiao Bai's safety, a signal flare was suddenly spotted rising into the sky from the mountains at three or four in the morning.
At this time, the last batch of search and rescue team members had just finished preparing their equipment and had not yet set off.
Upon seeing the signal flare, experienced search and rescue team members told Xiao Weiguo that someone had spotted the target and was safely returning with the person, so he no longer needed to worry.
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Weiguo finally felt relieved.
Jiao Bai had been with him for almost two years, and Xiao Weiguo had always treated him like his own brother.
Jiao Bai is an honest man and has never betrayed Xiao Weiguo's trust.
If Jiao Bai were to be lost at this moment, Xiao Weiguo would absolutely not be able to accept it.
He even thought that if Jiao Bai couldn't be found, he would make the entire Bai Brothers Company pay an incredibly heavy price, perhaps even eradicate them from the world.
Now that he had seen Jiao Bai return with his own eyes, Xiao Weiguo was finally able to put his mind at ease.
The sun has quietly risen in the east, and the cold night has passed.
Xiao Weiguo approached Jiao Bai with a smile on his face.
She placed both hands on his shoulders and pressed down hard.
But how could his meager strength possibly shake Jiao Bai?
Jiao Bai remained motionless, and chuckled twice.
"Brother, I'm fine."
"You can't be so reckless in the future. No matter how good your kung fu is, you have to consider the risks. I don't want to worry about you like this again next time."
"No, brother."
Jiao Bai didn't talk much, as he always was. Xiao Weiguo put his arm around his shoulder and walked towards the rescue team's gathering place.
"You must be exhausted. When we get back, I'll treat you to a big meal and give you a long vacation so you can get some rest."
The search and rescue team members have been returning from the mountains one after another.
Now, a couple hundred strong men have gathered in the small square in front of Wei Changqing's house.
They were all wearing matching camouflage uniforms, and after a night of hard work, everyone looked tired. They gathered in small groups, some carrying cans of food. Since they couldn't buy food in the mountains, they ate what they had prepared for the mountains earlier for breakfast.
Since the search and rescue operation has been completed, Xiao Weiguo wouldn't be so stingy as to take back the supplies that had been distributed.
Xiao Weiguo certainly wouldn't be so petty; Jiao Bai's return put him in a great mood.
Seeing his exhausted teammates, he leaped onto a large rock and waved his hand.
"Brothers, thank you for coming. My brother has returned safely. Thank you for your hard work."
The crowd continued eating as they watched his performance. But what he said next made them immediately put down what they were holding and gasp in surprise.
"To thank everyone, I have decided that everyone who participated in the search and rescue, as long as they brought equipment here, will be rewarded with 500 yuan in cash. The team that found and rescued my brother will be rewarded with 1,000 yuan in cash each."
Upon hearing his words, the quiet crowd below erupted in cheers.
Five hundred yuan! Nowadays, no matter what industry you're in, as long as you're an ordinary person, five yuan is equivalent to two or three months' salary for them.
This is no small amount.
You have to understand, they only worked hard all night, some of them had just come in and hadn't even had a chance to work yet, and they got 500 yuan so easily, who wouldn't be happy?
In particular, the six team members who shot down the alpha wolf and scared away the pack received a reward of one thousand yuan. That's enough for more than half a year's salary.
At this moment, they were escorting Yaji, standing at the front of the crowd. Xiao Weiguo didn't offer words of thanks, but instead took immediate action, much to their delight.
"Long live Chairman Xiao! Chairman Xiao is so generous! Thank you, Chairman Xiao."
Immediately, the people below cheered and shouted.
Xiao Weiguo waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Once I get back to town, I'll arrange the money immediately. You can just go to the town police station to collect it."
More than three hundred people, totaling less than two hundred thousand, which is nothing compared to Jiao Bai.
Amid cheers, Xiao Weiguo jumped off the boulder.
He was just about to chat with Jiao Bai when someone called out to him.
"Xiao Weiguo, right? Aren't you being too happy too soon?"
The one speaking was Yaji, who was being held down by the arms by several team members. His clothes were tattered, some scratched by trees on the way there and others charred white from the dagger he used to start a fire.
The bloody hole on his face from Wei Yulan's bite was wrapped with a tattered cloth, and blood was still seeping out from time to time.
His eyes and forehead were covered in bruises, from being beaten to the ground by Jiao Bai during the fight.
One foot was wearing a shoe, and the other was bare, because Jiao Bai had untied one of his shoelaces, and no one had helped him tie it when he came. Halfway there, one shoe came off.
