In the darkness, a figure moved swiftly through the grass, causing it to rustle.
"Don't shoot, we're on the same side." The one-eyed man gestured for those around him to raise their hands and not to fire.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the bushes ahead.
"Ghost, how are you?" the one-eyed man asked, looking at the blurry figure in front of him.
"The person escaped, wasn't shot, and isn't far ahead, no more than 300 meters away." The ghost's voice was hollow, sounding like an electric current passing through the air, creating a chilling feeling in the darkness.
"Hmm? You didn't even hit him. This guy is really something else." The one-eyed man said with a puzzled look, seemingly surprised.
"Hmm, that guy reacted very quickly and is quite skilled. He was able to pinpoint my location after I fired just one shot and adjust his position accordingly. He's not simple. Be careful."
"Really?" A hint of surprise flashed across the one-eyed man's face. He was surprised that he could receive such high praise from the ghost. No wonder he had the ability to rescue people from their hands.
"It's just him; the others are nothing to worry about." The ghost seemed to see through the one-eyed man's thoughts and said casually. After speaking, he moved and instantly disappeared into the darkness.
"Keep chasing, they should be close by now." The one-eyed man watched the figure disappear into the distance and waved his hand behind him.
"We're safe!" Luo Chen put Jiang Xian'er down and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this little girl isn't heavy, otherwise Luo Chen was really worried that he might collapse here.
Hearing Luo Chen's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and gasped for air.
"Xiao, do you know how Number Five is doing?" Lao Tie suddenly asked.
Luo Chen glanced at Lao Tie, knowing that these two were practically raised by Lao Tie himself. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way in such a short time, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"I went back later. Don't worry, he was just slightly injured. I rescued him and sent him back to inform the commander. He should be here by now."
The old man nodded and remained silent.
A sense of sadness rose in everyone's hearts. Death, whenever it occurs, is an indescribable feeling for those around the person involved.
"Let's keep going. It's estimated that it will be several more hours before dawn." Luo Chen glanced up and slowly uttered a heavy voice.
We are still not out of danger.
The group continued walking forward. After walking for a while, Jiang Xian'er looked at everyone and suddenly said, "It seems like we're missing one person."
"Few people? Who?" Qi Tianlong looked over and asked in confusion.
Luo Chen walked over to Jiang Xian'er, touched her hair, and then said, "She's already dead, don't worry about her."
Everyone glanced at Luo Chen, and they all understood one thing.
However, in the heart of this innocent girl, she did not yet fully understand.
"What? Miss Jiang is dead?" Jiang Xian'er's eyes widened in shock as she looked at Luo Chen in disbelief.
Her memory was still of when Xiao Jiang escaped, and at that time she was shocked by how brave she was.
But all he got in return was Luo Chen's words: "He's dead."
"How did she die? Was she killed by those mercenaries?" Jiang Xian'er asked sadly. Among this group of people, perhaps it was because of the dinner with Miss Jiang that day that she felt a deep affection for her.
But all she got in response was silence. No one spoke, and in Jiang Xian'er's eyes, it seemed as if these people were deliberately trying to forget her.
Even after the girl who cooked so well died, no one missed her.
Seeing that Jiang Xian'er's tears were about to fall, Luo Chen quickly patted her shoulder and whispered, "The truth is very cruel. Do you want to hear it?"
Jiang Xian'er frowned, not understanding what Luo Chen meant, and nodded: "Go ahead and say it, I have a strong ability to withstand things right now."
"If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Jiang only joined our group recently, right?" Luo Chen said, looking at the old man in front of him.
The old man hummed in agreement, acknowledging the fact.
"To be precise, she came three months ago. I met her while doing a mission. Xiao Jiang even bandaged my wound. Later, when I learned that she had nowhere to go, and considering that there were only one or two doctors in the group, I let her stay."
Luo Chen nodded, and considering what Xiao Jiang had said earlier, it seemed that his guess was correct.
He then continued, "Xiao Jiang's true identity is a spy from another country, and their goal is to steal information. Of course, my guess may be wrong. Originally, we planned to continue to go undercover, but it wasn't until Mu Shanhai appeared and our team received this mission that Xiao Jiang was officially put into use."
"A spy? Really?" Jiang Xian'er couldn't believe her ears. The girl who cooked so well, who seemed like an older sister to her, was actually a spy.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"How did you all know?" Jiang Xian'er exclaimed in surprise. It turned out that she was the only one who had been kept in the dark, which was completely unreasonable.
"Xian'er, didn't I tell you before? Someone disappeared. Think about it, those mercenaries are so powerful, why would they let Xiao Jiang escape? Besides, she didn't have a collar around her neck. The two of us are because we have no fighting ability, but Xiao Jiang is a mercenary, even if she's just a doctor. What do you think?" Mu Shiyu explained to Jiang Xian'er.
At this moment, Jiang Xian'er slapped her forehead and suddenly realized that she had been wondering who had disappeared.
At first I thought it was number three, but now I realize that's what happened.
"Waaah!" Jiang Xian'er looked somewhat dejected. This feeling made her feel like a useless person. Back in the small town, she always thought she was very smart, but only now did she realize that she didn't understand anything at all.
"You have a lot to learn." Luo Chen scoffed and pushed Jiang Xian'er forward quickly.
"Actually, I had some doubts when we had dinner that night. Now that I think about it, eating the six-leaf bone only caused me to faint. Perhaps Xian'er picked too little, so it only hurt for a while."
"By the way, Uncle Shan Hai, I learned some information about you from Xiao Jiang. They seem to value you a lot and are trying every means to get you. Moreover, there might be a large mercenary group behind you."
Luo Chen spoke while keeping watch behind him.
The purpose was to hope that Mu Shanhai would pay more attention, after all, he was also Mu Shiyu's father, although he didn't know exactly what Mu Shanhai did.
But for a country to attach such importance to it, it must be something extraordinary.
"I understand, this is good too, so we don't have to hide all day long, it's exhausting, hahaha." Mu Shanhai suddenly laughed heartily.
Perhaps it's because this shackle on my body has been hidden and causing me discomfort.
"Tianlong, if I'm not mistaken, you must be one of Yongle's men."
Qi Tianlong paused for a second: "That's right!"
