Gu Haoran's subordinate led a dozen strong and fierce-looking thugs and quickly arrived at the quiet courtyard where Yue Yue and others had lived before.
However, when they stepped into the courtyard, they found it empty and silent.
The entire courtyard seemed abandoned, cold and deserted, with not a single person in sight.
The thugs did not give up and began to search each room carefully, but the result was extremely disappointing - there was nothing in the house, not even a trace of anyone having lived there.
"Damn it! These cunning guys are running so fast! We have spies and people everywhere here. I want to see where else they can hide!"
The leading subordinate roared in frustration, veins bulging on his forehead.
He turned around and glared at the thugs behind him who were silent as a mouse, and berated them mercilessly: "You good-for-nothings! You can't even handle such a small matter! The boss only gave us three short days to solve this matter.
If we don't catch them soon, and if the massive purchase of Chinese herbal medicines gets exposed, none of us will be safe! Every one of you, hold your heads up! Think carefully about what to do next!"
Faced with the boss's anger, the thugs could only lower their heads, silently endure the scolding, and secretly complain in their hearts.
They could never have imagined that Yue Yue and his group were so agile and could disappear without a trace in such a short time.
At this time, Yue Yue and others had already been safely transferred to a mountain near Ruixi Town, where they could hide well in the deep forest.
They sat together, solemnly organizing and summarizing the important intelligence they had recently obtained, and making classified records.
After some discussion, it was decided that Huang Po would be responsible for delivering this key information.
Because everyone knew very well that as long as the news could be successfully spread, it would be easy for them to be rescued.
After all, this is no longer the era of inconvenient communication. Convenient telephone facilities have been installed in many places, and it is much easier to contact the outside world than before.
Huang Po knew that everyone's life was in his hands, so he packed up his things and set off without stopping.
He was dressed in rags and patches, making himself look like a destitute beggar.
His messy hair covered most of his face, and he exuded an unpleasant odor that made people avoid him.
In this way, he sneaked into the crowd and successfully slipped into Ruixi Town while the guards were not paying attention.
After entering the city, he keenly noticed something unusual, seeing only places that could transmit messages, such as telephone booths and telegraph offices.
There were actually several strong and serious-looking men standing outside, scanning the passers-by with sharp eyes. It was obvious that they were keeping a close eye on these places to prevent any suspicious people from approaching.
Seeing this scene, he thought to himself, "It seems the other party has been prepared for this. This operation may not be so easy!"
In desperation, he had to change his strategy and choose to settle for the second best.
Considering the complex terrain of the mountains and forests, which made it difficult for ordinary people to track him, he decided to cross the mountains and forests and rush to the next city, which was more than 100 kilometers away, as soon as possible.
The border town of Ruixi is located in a remote area, surrounded by rolling mountains and dense forests.
To reach the next town, he had to go through a long and dangerous journey. However, time was running out and he could not afford to hesitate.
Thinking of this, he involuntarily quickened his pace a bit, and disappeared at the end of the road as quickly as a gust of wind.
At the same time, the team sent by Gu Changmu was rushing towards this direction without stopping.
Unfortunately, the weather was not good, and they encountered a landslide on the way, and the road was completely blocked by rolling rocks and mud. Although the team members tried their best to clear the roadblock, progress was still slow.
As a result, the original plan of relying on vehicles to advance quickly was completely shattered, and they had to move forward on foot, which was naturally much slower than before.
Due to this series of sudden changes, the situation of Yue Yue and others became increasingly difficult and dangerous.
The enemy has already noticed that they are hiding on this hill, and it is only a matter of time before they are found.
Fortunately, Yue Yue's side had already carefully set up many traps in this vast forest, which could effectively slow down the enemy's advance.
At this moment, the enemy has dispatched a large number of manpower to surround the entire mountain, and sent out team after team to gradually approach their hiding place.
Suddenly, a shrill scream pierced the sky.
It turned out that one of the search personnel accidentally stepped on an extremely sharp bamboo thorn hidden under the ground.
The sharp bamboo thorn instantly pierced his foot, and the severe pain came like a tide, making him howl in pain with his teeth bared.
Seeing this, his companions around him hurriedly dragged him out of the trap.
Looking closely, I saw that his feet were covered in blood, which was shocking.
When the others saw this, they were all frightened and looked down at their feet involuntarily, fearing that they would follow in his footsteps and become the second person to suffer such misfortune.
I saw the leader nimbly cut off a thick branch, and then held the branch and carefully explored and groped forward.
Coincidentally, not long after, he actually discovered quite a few traps hidden under the ground.
