Chapter 104 Taking a Walk

Upon hearing this, Du Ruo turned off the flashlight in her hand and put it back into the bag behind her.

The cave was filled with a damp smell. The flashlight emitted a faint light on the stone wall. The silence in the night made people feel a little uneasy. Occasionally, the sound of wind and the roar of unknown animals could be heard, which made people feel a little nervous.

Du Ruo leaned his head against the stone wall, feeling the cold and damp breath. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and every minute and every second seemed particularly long.

Du Ruo could even hear her own heartbeat echoing in her ears. The past that she tried so hard to forget was infinitely magnified. For some reason, the figure of Yuan Tingchuan suddenly flashed before her eyes, tall and majestic like a mountain.

Suddenly, a chill came over him. Du Ruo looked up and saw a crack in the stone wall beside him. The dim moonlight leaked in faintly, weak but touching.

Du Ruo leaned against the stone wall with a turbulent thought. Suddenly, Yuan Wu turned off the flashlight in his hand. He and Yuan Qi came to Du Ruo's side, one on each side: "Hurry up, someone is coming."

Du Ruo's heart was pounding. Yuan Wu looked outside and saw a dozen figures moving vaguely on the mountain road and several beams of flashlight swaying in the darkness.

It was too late to go out, so Yuan Wu and Yuan Qi decisively pulled Du Ruo inside.

Yuan Wu turned on the flashlight in his hand and ran forward along the stone wall of the cave. He led the way for Yuan Qi and Du Ruo: "Xiao Qi, take good care of Mr. Du and watch your step."

The cave was very humid, with slippery moss everywhere. Du Ruo was not careful and almost fell out.

Yuan Qi rushed forward, grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

Yuan Qi scanned with a flashlight and found a large crack on the other side of the cave, which was pitch black and bottomless.

Du Ruo shuddered. If he fell...

Yuan Wu heaved a sigh of relief and gestured to the two men to hurry up and follow him. There was a grass nest left by them in the cave, and people would know at a glance that someone had been there. They might have caught up with them now.

Yuan Qi also knew that it was not suitable to stay here for long. He reached out and hugged Du Ruo's waist: "I'm sorry, Mr. Du."

He half-carried and half-dragged Du Ruo forward, and Yuan Wu said, "Something is wrong here."

Du Ruo and Yuan Qi followed the light of his flashlight and looked towards the crack. They saw dark water flowing below and some messy floating objects on the water surface. They didn't know where the water was flowing to.

Yuan Qi pulled out a compass from his pocket and said, "Pooh!" "Being chased like a dog is only possible here. If it were in Myanmar, we wouldn't be afraid of more than a dozen people, let alone a dozen. It's not like we haven't done it before."

Yuan Wu frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Is this a place where guns can be fired? Our mission is to escort General Du out of here safely. These people are the police's business and have nothing to do with us."

He shone the flashlight around, pointed in the direction ahead and said, "If we go that way, we should be around the side and back of the cave. We can find a place sheltered from the wind and hide. It will be daylight in two or three hours, and we can go down the mountain in broad daylight."

A few people climbed to the other side of the cliff. Yuan Wu tried the water and found it was not deep. He found a branch and poked it in the water a few times to test it. "You can get through. You two follow me and go slowly."

After a few people crossed the river and climbed up the opposite mountain wall, they heard the sound of tapping footsteps behind them.

The three people leaned against the stone wall and dared not move. Faint sounds of talking could be heard coming from them.

"Those guys must have escaped from here. They were carrying a woman, and it was so dark, they couldn't have gotten far."

"Logically, we should have seen him a long time ago. Why is there no sign of him now?"

"Look at the footprints on the ground. They must be that woman's. The direction is correct."

"Will they go up that wall?"

"That's impossible. It's so late, and they're dragging a woman with them. They don't dare to go to the other side of the cliff."

"Then let's hurry up and chase him until we reach the fork in the road ahead."

The voices of several people were getting quieter and quieter. Yuan Wu and Yuan Qi estimated that the people were getting farther and farther away.

The three of them walked along the mountain wall and gradually saw the light on the mountain wall. Yuan Wu glanced at his watch. It was already past three o'clock and the sky was getting brighter. They had to hurry and get out of the mountain.

The three of them walked along the stone wall, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and finally found a crack. They pulled each other to the ground.

Du Ruo sat down on the ground. This night was too thrilling and exciting. Except for the time in her previous life when she and Ling Yun were in danger at the border of Myanmar and fled for a day and a night, this was the first time she suffered since her rebirth.

Yuan Wu looked around and said to Yuan Qi, who was sitting on the ground, "Get up. We haven't started earning our double wages yet. Get up and leave here quickly. If you get caught, won't your brothers laugh at you when you go back?"

Yuan Qi exhaled fiercely. Just as he was about to speak, he felt someone vaguely in front of him. He stood up quickly, reached out from the edge of his pants that were sticking to his calves, and pulled out a dagger. The light in his eyes was clearly extinguished.

Yuan Wu also held a knife in his palm, and his eyes were fixed on the intersection fiercely, like a hungry wolf ready to pounce at any time, his back tense, ready to strike.

Suddenly, Yuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He turned the dagger in his hand around his fingertips and said, "Mr. Yuan is here."

Du Ruo looked up and saw Yuan Tingchuan's tall and straight figure appearing on the mountain road in the gray sky.

As he got closer, Du Ruo saw that a large area of ​​his shoulders was wet with the morning dew, and there were traces of dampness on his hair.

Yuan Tingchuan wore a black striped French shirt and suit trousers. His leather shoes were covered with grass fragments. The diamond cufflinks on his wrists moved like starlight. It was obvious that he was not prepared at all and went up the mountain in a hurry.

Du Ruo was too tired to get up. She sat on the ground and looked up at Yuan Tingchuan who was getting closer and closer. Facing the man's sharp gaze, she smiled and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Yuan, why are you here?"

Yuan Tingchuan looked down at Du Ruo with a somewhat arrogant look on his face. After a while, he sneered, "The sunshine is nice. I'm out for a walk. Nice to meet you, President Du?"

Du Ruo looked at the sky which was just beginning to brighten. She touched her nose awkwardly and secretly glanced at Yuan Tingchuan who had a cold expression. Well, he saved her, and no matter what, she couldn't just kill him after he had done his job.

What's more, he couldn't kill the donkey himself. It could kick him away with one kick.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from behind, and Du Ruo subconsciously looked at Yuan Tingchuan.
