Chapter 296 Encounter in the Jungle



In particular, the dirty deeds that the Ye family did behind the scenes were something that the upright Sheng family found very shameful.

“I have some business dealings with Mr. Ye, and I need his help this time. Our business deals involve some technology products. Do you have some misunderstanding about Mr. Ye?”

Sheng Qian immediately understood what was going on.

Sheng Qian knew very well what the Sheng family was like.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Mu's expression softened, realizing that Sheng Qian had been deceived by the Ye family.

What are you doing here?

"I came here to find my sweetheart."

"..."

Sheng Mu didn't expect Sheng Qian to say it so directly.

Actually, Sheng Qian didn't need to say it.

After all, the two of them were strangers.

A woman should be more wary of others, but Sheng Qian seemed to trust him completely, without any trace of lying.

This inexplicable trust made him feel happy, yet also puzzled.

"Why did your sweetheart end up here?"

“He has a mission; he came here for everyone’s sake,” Sheng Qian said.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Mu stopped asking questions.

Asking any further questions would be considered a breach of privacy.

"Since you're looking for someone, I'll help you."

Sheng Mu felt that she could not betray Sheng Qian's unconditional trust in her.

Besides, he knew perfectly well what kind of people the Ye family were, and he couldn't just let Sheng Qian go unchecked.

What if I really get scammed?

Sheng Qian was delighted to hear this, "Great! Thank you so much! Have you been around this area before?"

"This is my first time here too, but I know quite a bit about the jungle and can offer you some assistance."

Sheng Mu was not lying about this.

Because some of Sheng Qian's knowledge of the jungle came from Sheng Mu.

However, others are unaware of this.

They all just glanced at Sheng Mu, their eyes carrying a strange look.

But no one said it.

They knew how formidable Sheng Qian was, and seeing how well Sheng Qian treated Sheng Mu, they wouldn't be so tactless as to argue with her.

Sheng Qian and Sheng Mu sat down, took out their dry rations, and shared them with everyone.

Sheng Mu planned to go hunting in the morning, but now that Sheng Qian and the others had given him some rations, he would replenish his strength first.

Sheng Qian said they still had plenty of dry food on them, so there was no need to worry about running out of food.

Sheng Qian unfolded the map, and Sheng Mu could immediately tell that he had really gone too far last night, or even in the opposite direction.

So if they try to find him, they'll only distance themselves from him.

Sheng Mu pointed to one of the locations: "This is where we stayed last night. I have a strong impression of the nearby mountains."

He himself has the ability to see everything without missing anything.

Last night, because he was in a bad mood, he realized he had encountered miasma, but he had already inhaled too much and was experiencing other illusions.

That's why this scene happened.

He has a strong sense of direction and is also quite good at surviving in the jungle.

If he were left here alone without tools or food, he could survive.

This wouldn't work for someone else.

"Then let's move forward."

Sheng Qian put away the map and gave him a copy.

“We have another one here,” Sheng Qian said. “Find your team first, then go find my people.”

"Let's go find your people first. I'll leave a mark ahead, and they'll understand what it means."

Recalling what happened last night, Sheng Mu doesn't want to reunite with them for the time being.

To say he's running away is to say he's running away.

He didn't care about any of that.

He didn't want to go back to that spot and see the two of them being all lovey-dovey.

It's too bright.

He was afraid that he would lose control and have a life-or-death duel with Long Yunting, and that his ugly face would be revealed in front of Fu Huoqing.

"We're heading straight ahead, following the same route. Searching from both sides simultaneously makes things easier."

In fact, Sheng Qian suspected that Long Yunting and his group were among the people in front of her.

Sheng Mu opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

It's not something you can easily talk about with others.

Next, they sped up and moved forward.

It only took half a day to reach the place where they had rested. After glancing at the traces that had been erased, Sheng Qian couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"They shouldn't have gone very far. We should be able to meet them after dark. Let's not rest for now," Sheng Qian said anxiously, wanting to catch up and see if it was Long Yunting and the others.

Long Yunting and his group were fast travelers, but in their search for the suddenly disappeared Sheng Mu, they slowed down.

They also expanded their manpower to other areas.

They didn't arrive at the same place until dark to reconnect with the results of their search.

The result was that there was no result.

The Sheng family is extremely worried. This place is dangerous at any time. Can Sheng Mu handle it on his own?

"I think Sheng Mu is quite skilled and has his own survival skills, so he shouldn't be in any danger," Fu Huoqing said, glancing at the anxious Sheng family members.

But saying this only made everyone more worried.

Sheng Mu possessed those survival skills, yet she still disappeared, indicating that she must have encountered danger.

Long Yunting said, "I will send my men out again to search at night."

“No, it’s too dangerous,” Fu Huoqing said. She couldn’t let everyone be put in danger just because she was looking for one person. “I’ll take a few people to search for him. You all stay here.”

"Everyone, stop looking, let's..."

Before one of them could finish speaking, they sensed movement not far away.

Everyone's expression changed slightly.

Could those people have followed us? No way!
