Chapter 678 Entering the Secret Passage
Qin Feng said calmly, "That's right, Miss Kong doesn't need to take this to heart. Besides, the Tang family is ambitious and did such a thing to the Qin family. They are our enemies! I'm going to join them this time no matter what."
Since both of them said so, Kong Wange could only say, "Alright, let's wait for Ruoyun's news for now, but just in case, I hope Master Qin can send some people to monitor the Tang family's every move."
“No problem.” Qin Feng immediately made the arrangements.
For two days in a row, there was no news from Wen Luoyun.
The messages from the Shadow Gate's spies all indicated that the Tang family had not made any unusual moves.
Kong Wange grew increasingly anxious, as Murong Ting's poison worsened day by day.
This feeling persisted until the fifth day.
She finally received a phone call.
As soon as she answered, Wen Luoyun's somewhat hurried voice came from the other end: "Wange, I'm sorry for contacting you so late. Tang Zhi has been acting cautiously these days, and I haven't been able to find an opportunity to steal the map. But tonight, he suddenly gathered his men and set off. If I'm not mistaken, they're going into the tomb!"
"Tonight?" Kong Wange was slightly taken aback. "So suddenly?"
Wen Luoyun said quickly, "Tang Zhi has been suffering from headaches for many years, and he can't wait any longer. Wan Ge, I'm secretly following behind them right now. What are your thoughts? Do you want to come?"
Kong Wange took a deep breath and said, "Ruoyun, thank you. In that case, please keep an eye on them for me. We will set off to find you as soon as possible."
“Okay, I’ll share my location with you in a bit. Just follow me, but you have to be quick,” Wen Luoyun said.
Kong Wange replied, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qiao immediately said, "Sister Kong, I'm going to change my clothes. Let's set off right now!"
She turned and ran out, but Qin Feng grabbed her arm.
She turned her head: "What are you doing? Time is tight, you should hurry up and get ready too!"
Qin Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "You stay at the Shadow Gate, we'll take some people there."
Zhou Qiao immediately glared at him: "You're not taking me?!"
"Who knows what might happen in the tomb? It's too dangerous," Qin Feng explained.
“If you’re not afraid, why would I be?!” Zhou Qiao immediately retorted.
"How can I not be afraid?" Qin Feng suddenly said, "I'm afraid you'll get hurt, afraid you'll encounter danger, afraid I won't be able to protect you if a fight really breaks out... I'm afraid of so many things, so listen to me, don't distract me, stay home and wait for me to come back?"
If Qin Feng truly acts assertively, Zhou Qiao definitely won't compromise.
But he did this to her, leaving her speechless for a moment, only able to stare blankly.
Kong Wange smiled and stepped forward, pulling her along: "Qiaoqiao, you should stay at Shadow Gate. You know, the future of this matter is uncertain. If there are any conspiracies or tricks, we need at least one person to guard the rear and deal with any problems. Also, A-Ting's health is still weak, and I'm not at ease. I need you to help take care of him. I can only feel at ease if you stay here."
Kong Wange's words were reasonable and well-founded, so Zhou Qiao stopped arguing and could only remind them, "Alright then, you must be careful, bring a few extra power banks, and contact me anytime if anything happens!"
Kong Wange nodded: "Don't worry, I understand."
She then wrote down several prescriptions for Zhou Qiao: "Ah Ting's poisoning is getting worse and worse. He needs these strong medicines to counteract it. Please trouble Qiao Qiao to boil them and then help me administer them to Ah Ting."
Zhou Qiao patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Sister Kong, I've got it covered!"
Kong Wange nodded, then turned to look at Murong Ting. Standing beside him, she held his hand with a firm gaze: "You've protected me so many times, this time it's my turn to protect you. You must wait for me."
On the other side, Zhou Qiao looked at Qin Feng, her eyes filled with worry and reluctance. She simply stepped forward and took his hand: "You must come back safely, did you hear me?"
Qin Feng's expression softened as he pulled her into his arms: "Don't worry."
Because the incident happened suddenly and it would take time to gather manpower, Qin Feng arranged for a few teenagers to notify the powerful subordinates under the Shadow Gate, and then follow them, while he and Kong Wange took Shen Li to the destination first.
...
Intersection of Qianyun Road.
When Kong Wange and her group arrived, Wen Luoyun was standing at the intersection looking around.
Seeing them coming, he quickly waved to them.
Upon approaching, Kong Wange immediately asked, "Where are Tang Zhi and the others?"
"If you walk up the mountain for seven or eight minutes, there's a wasteland. Tang Zhi and his men went there. I saw them dig a hole and go down into it before running down to meet you," Wen Luoyun said, looking at Kong Wange and Qin Feng: "Wange, Master Qin, is it just the three of you? Where are your men?"
Qin Feng glanced at Shen Li, who took out his GPS and checked it before saying, "Brother Feng, we're almost there."
Seeing this, Wen Luoyun said, "Shall we go over there now?"
Kong Wange nodded: "Okay."
She led Kong Wange and her group through a series of turns until they reached a clearing halfway up the mountain. The clearing was surrounded by dense trees, and it would have been difficult to find if Wen Luoyun hadn't been leading the way.
"Ruoyun, where is the cave entrance you mentioned?" Kong Wange asked.
Wen Luoyun then led a few people into the wasteland. When they got closer, they discovered that under the dense weeds, there were some faintly discernible graves with some inscriptions that were mottled and dilapidated, their age unknown.
Wen Luoyun led the group along, counting as they went, and finally stopped in front of a tomb.
A blank tombstone stood atop the grave, worn and dilapidated from years of wind and sun. Wen Luoyun crouched down, parted the nearby weeds, and revealed a dark opening.
"This is the entrance that Tang Zhi and his group dug out. That's how they went in," Wen Luoyun said.
Qin Feng looked at the dark cave and said calmly, "The location is quite hidden."
"Tang Zhi's men have been gone for more than ten minutes. Master Qin, your men..." Wen Luoyun asked tentatively.
Qin Feng turned and instructed, "Cat, urge them on."
"Okay, Brother Feng." After saying that, Shen Li walked to the side and made a phone call.
Wen Luoyun glanced at Qin Feng and Kong Wange and said, "Master Qin, time is of the essence. If Tang Zhi gets the medicine first, all our efforts will be in vain. Shall we go down first?"
Qin Feng glanced at Kong Wange, who nodded slightly, and Qin Feng nodded in return.
"Cat, Miss Kong and I will go down and scout ahead. Once everyone is here, bring them to us."
Shen Li nodded and said, "Okay!"
It was very dark down there, but fortunately, although Qin Feng and his group left in a hurry, they still made the necessary preparations.
He took a powerful flashlight from his backpack and shone it inside.
Only then did they realize that the opening was actually not deep.
One after another, several people jumped down under the flashlight beam.
