After Yuncai left, only the four of them were left by the lake. Most of the time, Zhang Hanyan was the only one there.

Zhang Qiling, Wu Xie, Fatty and the others dived into the lake to salvage the remains, equipment, guns and ammunition of the expedition team that were thrown away by Panma.

They wanted to find some clues about the things hidden under the lake from these things, but in the end, three days later, they still found nothing.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Wu Xie paddled a homemade bamboo raft to the middle of the lake, waiting for Zhang Qiling to emerge from the water again and again and hand him what he had salvaged.

“There’s nothing down there anymore.”

Zhang Qiling surfaced from the water for the last time. After giving a brief instruction, he placed his hands on the bamboo raft, pushed hard, and jumped onto it.

"Then let's go back. Here, towel, wipe the water."

After Zhang Qiling took the towel, Wu Xie picked up the bamboo pole and slid it in the water, allowing the bamboo raft to slowly approach the lake shore.

Zhang Hanyan and Fatty stood in the camp waiting for them to return. After the bamboo raft docked, Zhang Qiling jumped off the raft and walked towards where Zhang Hanyan was holding a towel.

He was shirtless, his hair was wet and water was dripping from the ends.

The crystal clear water droplets flowed slowly along the well-defined profile of the face. The beautiful thin lips were tightly pursed, and the water droplets fell down the neck into the collarbone.

Going down further, the eight abdominal muscles are arranged neatly, and the mermaid lines are clearly defined.

He stood in front of her, water droplets still dripping from the ends of his hair, his collarbone and exposed chest were stained with water droplets, and he looked both seductive and alluring.

"Han Yan..."

He opened his mouth slowly, his Adam's apple rolling slightly.

This extremely shocking scene made Zhang Hanyan's breath stop. The string in her head seemed to be stretched to the extreme, and then broke with a ding.

She only felt her heart pounding wildly, her whole body was hot from the inside out, and a thin red cloud appeared on her face.

"Hey! Um... Yuncai should be here soon. I'll go pick her up."

After Zhang Hanyan finished speaking, she turned around and left, disappearing from the sight of them in an instant.

After entering the dense forest, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the scene just now, the blush on her face became even brighter and spread directly to the back of her neck.

"Sister Hanyan, are you here to pick me up? Why is your face so red? Did you get a heat stroke?"

Yuncai appeared in front of her, skipping and jumping with a basket on her back, and the silver bells she was wearing made pleasant sounds as she moved.

"No...no, I just feel a little hot. It will be fine in a while."

Zhang Hanyan avoided her gaze and kept waving his right hand at his cheek, trying to dispel the heat as quickly as possible.

"Oh, well, here's the fan."

"Thank you."

She took it with a smile, fanning herself with the palm-leaf fan in her hand, and walked back slowly.

After Zhang Hanyan left, Fatty and Wu Xie both stood in front of Zhang Qiling, with their hands on their hips, smiling with malicious, even a little vulgar expressions.

"Get out of the way." Zhang Qiling said with a cold face.

"Hey, brother, don't be anxious. If Hanyan doesn't want to look, let us look. Tsk tsk tsk... look at these eight-pack abs, look at this mermaid line, look... look..."

As the fat man spoke, he reached out and touched Zhang Qiling's abdominal muscles. He pressed his fingers on the abdominal muscles and squeezed them, then nodded with satisfaction.

"It's really good. I wish I could have this figure..."

The fat man was talking to himself, completely unaware of the fear on Wu Xie's face and the chill on Zhang Qiling's face.

"Stop touching me, you fat guy! I'm angry... you fat guy!"

Wu Xie said anxiously, his voice was too soft and the wind was strong by the lake, so Fatty couldn't hear clearly what he said.

Seeing that Fatty didn't react, Wu Xie had no choice but to pull his sleeve hard.

"I say Tian Zhen, are you annoying? You don't want to touch me, but you don't let me touch you? The little brother is not yours, and Han Yan hasn't said anything yet, why are you......"

"Stop talking! Look at what the boy is holding in his hand!"

Wu Xie yelled anxiously, Fatty looked up and saw Zhang Qiling holding a dagger that could cut through iron like mud. He tossed it up and down, and the cold light flashed across their eyes from time to time.

"Brother, we were just joking...don't..."

"Is it funny?"

Zhang Qiling's eyes were cold and his face was gloomy, and the look he gave them was like a sharp knife.

A sneer appeared on his lips, and he suddenly raised the dagger and stabbed it straight at the fat man.

"Ah!!! Run away, Tian Zhen, the little brother is going to kill someone!!!"

The fat man ducked to avoid the attack, then ran towards the dense forest yelling. Wu Xie followed closely behind him, not daring to stop for even a second.

Zhang Qiling had been following them slowly and steadily. Every time he was about to catch up, he would slow down, and then speed up again after the distance between them was widened. The whole process was like a cat walking a mouse.

"Han Yan! Han Yan, help me! Han Yan!"

When Zhang Hanyan heard Fatty's shout, she instantly jumped up and rushed through the dense forest. After seeing Fatty and Wu Xie, she swooped down from the tree, flipped in the air, and landed lightly on the ground.

"What's wrong? Where's the little brother?"

She supported the two people who were exhausted from running and asked anxiously.

The fat man pointed tremblingly at the back, "Behind, the little brother is behind, he wants to kill me and Tian Zhen! Really!"

Wu Xie also kept nodding, confirming Fatty's words.

"What did you say? How is that possible? I'll go check it out..."

Before Zhang Hanyan could take a step, Zhang Qiling appeared in front of them.

"what!!!"

Wu Xie and Fatty screamed together, a sound that shook heaven and earth and almost broke Zhang Hanyan's eardrums. They hid behind her in unison, not daring to take a single step forward.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Hanyan looked at his stern face and asked worriedly.

Zhang Qiling paused, silently put down the dagger in his hand, and tried his best to hide it behind him. He curved his lips and smiled, with a hint of guilt in his smile.

"No... just a joke..."

"joke?"

The fat man roared towards the sky, startling the birds perched on the branches.

He carefully recalled the scenes after Zhang Qiling took out the dagger, and it was indeed not like he wanted to kill them.

Otherwise, how could the two of them have been able to escape Zhang Qiling's pursuit for so long?

Wu Xie obviously hadn't recovered yet. He was panting heavily while hugging the thick tree trunk, and he had no ability to think at all.

"You are kidding me. You chased me and Tian Zhen with a dagger! Do you know that scaring people can scare people to death?"

Yuncai gently stroked the fat man's back to help him calm down.

"Are you okay, fat brother?"

"Hehe...it's okay, it's okay, we are just joking...don't be afraid, it's okay."

Zhang Hanyan looked at the dagger hidden behind him and said softly.

"Brother, how could you chase them with a dagger? You scared them so much that they almost lost their souls."

Zhang Qiling was silent for a while, his clear eyes were covered with a layer of gloom, and when he looked at her, the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

"He touched me..."

There was an almost imperceptible sense of grievance in his words.

His look was like a soft punch hitting Zhang Hanyan's heart, causing her throat to choke and she was instantly speechless.
