Chapter 1424: The Grand Finale (10)
Zhong Qiaohui had just reached the land and was about to catch her breath when Wei Changqing ordered, "Run a bit faster!"
Right, crocodiles are amphibious. Zhong Qiaohui felt the footsteps of the crocodile behind her shadowing her closely, and her hair stood on end. She ran desperately forward, and upon seeing a tree, she learned from Wei Changqing and climbed the trunk. After climbing for a while, she held the trunk tightly, feeling the crocodile’s teeth gnawing at the branch, trying to snap it off.
A teammate of Wei Changqing’s shot a hypnosis bullet at the crocodile. The crocodile, with its teeth bared, finally began to slow down.
Zhong Qiaohui was completely exhausted. As she was about to slip down from the trunk, she screamed, and a hand reached down to grab hers, whispering, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."
It was Zhang Sanfeng’s voice. Zhong Qiaohui suddenly showed a shameful expression, realizing she couldn’t even match up to a handicapped person. It was her loud scream that alerted the island’s defense forces.
"Seems like I heard a scream? A woman?"
"How could that be? You’re dreaming."
"Maybe. We never have women showing up at our door in the middle of the night."
"If you’re looking for a woman, you could go underground and find that blind man, it’s quite a treat."
The lecherous voices of several men drifted through the woods. Zhong Qiaohui listened coldly.
An order came down to divide into two teams, entering from the east and west sides of the castle respectively, with the first objective being to find the kidnapped hostage. Zhong Qiaohui’s team would take the west, while Gu Nuan and her team would go east. After splitting up, Zhong Qiaohui told Zhang Sanfeng, "You go find her son, I’m going to find Zhang Yingxi."
Zhang Sanfeng grabbed her hand as she was about to leave, not letting go: "I told you, this is first between him and me, if a search is needed, it must be me that does it." With that, he got off Lao Liu’s back and sat in his specially designed wheelchair.
Zhong Qiaohui couldn’t shake off his hand and said angrily, "You can let go of me now!"
"Aren’t you going to find him? How will you find him? How do you plan to find him without my sixth sense?"
Looking at his face, Zhong Qiaohui saw that his eyebrows and eyes were filled with a cold sternness, completely opposite to his usual arrogant smile. His expression seemed like he was about to explode, as if he couldn’t tolerate her anymore, she thought.
A sudden gust of wind rustled the leaves, and someone blocked the road leading to the west gate of the castle. Zhong Qiaohui squinted her eyes at the man’s silhouette who appeared abruptly, and preliminarily judged: No, this person isn’t Zhang Yingxi. However, beside her, the expressions of Zhang Sanfeng and Lao Liu changed drastically.
Zhang Sanfeng’s usually gentle lips now looked like a stormy raging wolf. Lao Liu pulled out all the knives and guns at his waist.
On the Dark Island devoid of light, the man before them wearing a wolf mask moved it aside, revealing a face with features undeniably handsome, and a unique, somewhat trustworthy aura.
Once Zhong Qiaohui had a clearer view, she found the person’s features resembled Chen Jiaming’s to some extent. Of course, this man wasn’t Chen Jiaming. But, considering Chen Jiaming’s charismatic persona that inherently drew people wherever he went, there’s no doubt that the man before them might possess similar skills. Perhaps it was for this reason, later on, that both Lao Liu and Zhang Sanfeng thought so too, and that’s why the brothers harbored no suspicion toward this man, being deceived for years.
"You—" Lao Liu said with difficulty, spat on the ground, unable to continue speaking due to anger, "Where did you take Xiaoqi?"
