As soon as Chu Ji entered the hotel, his oppressive gaze swept away, and he quickly locked on Fang Xia who was in the rest area.With one long leg, he walked straight towards him.

Chu Ji rushed over overnight, and when he approached, Fang Xia saw that his eyes were bloodshot, his chin was newly grown green scum, and his body was still full of low air pressure.He remembered that Geng Shudan said that this President Chu would be irritable if he stayed up late, and he would be angry when he got up.

"Where is Shudan now?" The sequelae of a sleepless night made Chu Ji feel very bad, but he tried his best to suppress his irritability, and asked Fang Xia in a calm tone as much as possible.

"How do you know that Geng Shudan is here?" Fang Xia was sure that when he explained the situation to Xu Lei yesterday, he didn't mention Geng Shudan at all.It only said that the archaeological team was trapped in Yanhui Mountain by the maze, and that he would participate in the rescue operation of the Geng family.

"I checked. The leader of the Yanhuishan archaeological team this time is Professor Zheng. He is Shudan's university tutor. Since Geng's family participated in the rescue, then Manual Dan must also know about Professor Zheng's entrapment. He is sure. He will also run over." Chu Ji said, and asked again, "Where are the others?"

Fang Xia suddenly realized that Chu Ji had deduced that Geng Shudan would appear in Yanhui Town, so he rushed here to arrest him.He just thought that Geng Shudan would participate in this rescue, but he didn't expect that Geng Shudan had been trapped in Yanhui Mountain for three days with the archaeological team.

Fang Xia didn't know what to tell Chu Ji.Geng Shudan had been trapped in Yanhui Mountain for three days, he was worried, but if Chu Ji knew about it, he might go crazy.

"What about others?" Seeing Fang Xia's delay in answering, Chu Ji couldn't help but increase his tone.

"I entered Yanhui Mountain with the archaeological team four days ago." Fang Xia looked up at Chu Ji.

This matter can't be hidden, Chu Ji is sure that Geng Shudan is here, and he will not let it go if he doesn't see anyone, and he will know the answer after a little investigation.Even if all those in the know kept their mouths shut, Geng Shudan would still not be seen when Geng Zhongzhi led people into the mountain. With the mind of this President Chu, what else would he not guess?

"You said four days ago...?" Chu Ji's pupils suddenly constricted, and panic appeared in his eyes.

This tall, imposing man showed his fragility in an instant.But he quickly put on the armor again, hiding all his inner emotions with a cold expression.

"I see." Chu Ji didn't wait for Fang Xia to come up with words of comfort, nodded to him very calmly, and asked, "When will the Geng family enter the mountain?"

Fang Xia took out her mobile phone, checked the time, and replied, "No accident, it should be in half an hour."

When Geng Chongzhi came back from Wang Tonglin's side, he could almost set off.

"Then I'll go and prepare first." After Chu Ji finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the hotel.

"Huh? Get ready..." Before Fang Xia finished asking, the people from Chuji had already walked out of the hotel gate, "...what?"

"Mr. Chu brought someone here." Xu Lei, who still stayed at the hotel, answered Fang Xia's question.

Fang Xia got up and ran out of the hotel.

Fu Jin followed behind him.

Ding Ming stood up and stretched before walking out of the hotel.

Chu Ji brought people over, and five off-road vehicles were parked not far from the hotel.

There are two teams standing next to the off-road vehicle, one team of 12 people, wearing camouflage uniforms, with short sleeves and long sleeves, and the camouflage patterns are also different, but they move quietly and orderly, and they look like a self-contained team.On the other side were 8 people, old and young, dressed casually, chatting together, like a tour group led by a tour guide.Then add Chu Ji who walked over to talk, it feels like three groups of people who don't match up at all.

"These people...?" Fang Xia looked back at Xu Lei who followed him.

"The ones wearing camouflage uniforms are the bodyguards specially trained by Mr. Chu, just like me. They are specially trained to deal with abnormal incidents." Xu Lei said, "The other side is all masters. Many of those masters are good at formation and feng shui, Mr. Chu It was because I heard that there was a maze in Yanhui Mountain, so I specially brought them here to help Mr. Geng Shudan, who would have thought..."

Unexpectedly, Geng Shu Dan has also become one of the targets who need to be rescued.

"The master recruited by Mr. Chu is richer than the family background of our Criminal Bureau, Guo Jiangqing, Huang Shudao, and..." Ding Ming took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette from it, and put it in his mouth, "—— Gong Baining."

"Gong Baining?" Fang Xia followed Ding Ming's line of sight, and his eyes fell on a white-haired old lady who was about sixty years old, "Why do I think she looks familiar?"

"She is also a Feng Shui master and an old friend of Master. She also came to Master's funeral before." Ding Ming paused, took out his lighter, lit a cigarette for himself, and then continued, "By the way, she hugged me when I was a child." You, you like her quite a bit, and when she left, you even gave her the can of grasshoppers that you had caught for several days to fill up."

Fu Jin and Xu Lei looked at Fang Xia together, this gift is a bit ingenious!

Fang Xia questioned Ding Ming: "Why don't I remember this happening?"

"Gong Baining is here, why don't you ask her?" Ding Ming said, looking at the direction behind Fang Xia.

Fang Xia: "..."

"What Gong Baining? No big or small." Gong Baining stood still in front of Fang Xia, looked at Ding Ming, "It's called Grandma Bai Ning."

"Grandma Bai Ning." Ding Ming put out the cigarette and followed suit like a follower.

"Fang Xia, I didn't have time to talk to you last time." Gong Baining turned to look at Fang Xia with a hint of love in his eyes, "Do you remember me? I hugged you when I was a child. By the way, do you still like grasshoppers now?"

It seems that Ding Ming is not lying, there really is such a thing as a grasshopper.

"... I don't remember." Fang Xia was a little embarrassed. It's not worth boasting about giving someone a can of grasshoppers.

After Gong Baining spoke a few words to Fang Xia, Geng Zhongzhi came back.

Sure enough, there was no question from Wang Tonglin. Before Geng Zhongzhi went, he didn't have much hope, but he was about to enter the mountain, and there was no time for him to follow up and investigate Wang Tonglin.

Wang Tonglin didn't say anything, but Geng Zhongzhi, like Fang Xia, maintained reasonable doubts about the relationship between Wang Tonglin and Yanhuishan Mizhen.On the eve of entering the mountain, naturally, Wang Tonglin couldn't be safely left aside.He left a few Geng family members behind to keep an eye on Wang Tonglin while they were in the mountains, and if he made any changes, he would use coercive control.

This is not a good way. The sect and the aristocratic family have now openly opposed each other, but there has not been a fierce conflict to attack each other on the surface. Once they take the initiative to force Wang Tonglin to be controlled, it will inevitably intensify the current situation in the Xuanshu circle.Therefore, Geng Chongzhi still hoped that Wang Tonglin had nothing to do with Yanhuishan Maze.

When Geng Chongzhi returned to Fang Xia's side, he naturally discovered Chu Ji.

Geng Zhongzhi opposed Chu Ji's request to join the rescue.

"Mr. Chu, I understand your concern, but at a time like this, I don't want laymen to get involved."

"I believe in the people I brought, but when the geese return to the mountain, I have to go in." Chu Ji said coldly, "Patriarch Geng doesn't want to take me with him, so I will go in by myself."

Geng Zhongzhi frowned, and turned to look at the person Chu Ji brought.His gaze swept across the crowd in a hurry, and finally stopped on Gong Baining.Gong Baining is a well-known feng shui master in the circle, and his skills are almost on par with Fang Xia's deceased master, Daoist Wenshi. Although he has invited Ding Ming over, he has never seen Ding Ming's skills, and he is too young. None of Gong Baining's followers are reliable.

After hesitating for a while, Geng Zhongzhi finally acquiesced in Chu Ji's joining.

The people brought by the Geng family and Chu Ji set out from Yanhui Town in formation to go to Yanhui Mountain.

The weather forecast says it will be cloudy today, but the weather looks bad.When Fang Xia and the others arrived at the foot of Yanhui Mountain, the dark clouds in the sky not only did not disperse, but also tended to gather. It was gloomy and looked like it was going to rain.

There is a road leading to the middle of the mountain in Yanhui Mountain. Due to disrepair, four-wheeled cars can no longer drive up, and they can only walk or use riding tools.Walking is too time-consuming, and many locals like to find motorcycle riders to take them up the mountain.That's how Geng Shudan and the others went up.

In this regard, Geng Lijie and the others who have gone back to the mountain twice are very experienced. They contacted the local motorbike riders and waited at the foot of the mountain yesterday.The number of locomotives was budgeted according to the people brought by Geng Zhongzhi. Now there are more than [-] people from Chu Ji and his party unexpectedly, which is obviously not enough.

"Why not go up in two batches." Geng Chaolin suggested.

"It's best to go up there all at once to save time." Chu Ji got off the off-road vehicle, "Most of the people on my side know how to drive a car. Are there any young people on your side who know how?"

"Lijie and I can do it." Geng Chaolin said, "The cousins ​​over there can do it too."

"I will too." Fang Xia said from the side, "Ding Ming will too."

"Second Senior Brother." Standing behind Fang Xia, Ding Ming kicked Fang Xia's heel.

Fang Xia ignored him.

Chu Ji counted the locomotives and their number, and they started the locomotives by themselves, enough to go up in one trip.He used to discuss with the locomotive riders over there, renting all their cars at a high price, and then they allocated them internally, whether they would drive the car or not.

Fang Xia went over to pick out a motorcycle, first put Fu Jin on a helmet, then stepped onto the motorcycle, put on the other helmet hanging on the front of the motorcycle for himself, patted the back seat of the motorcycle, and said to Fu Jin, "Come on."

Fu Jin sat behind Fang Xia as she said.

"Hold my waist tight." Fang Xia said, and started the engine.

Fu Jin wrapped her arms around Fang Xia's waist.

The locomotive roared and followed the locomotive in front of it that was heading towards the mountain road.

More than [-] locomotives lined up in a row and meandered up the mountain road.

The mountain wind is a little strong, the air is a little humid, the skin is wet with water vapor, and the gust of wind blows over it, bringing a burst of coolness.The sound of the locomotive echoed on the mountain road in the early morning, and the forest kept retreating as they advanced.Fang Xia looked at the mountains and forests that kept receding in his field of vision, and felt that something was wrong for no reason.

"What's wrong?" Fu Jin asked in Fang Xia's ear.

"Do you think these mountains and forests are too quiet?" There are no dangerous beasts in the mountains, but there are birds and animals. They make such a big noise when they enter the mountains, but the forests are silent, only the sound of wind blowing leaves , no bird was startled.

It was too quiet, as if there was no life in it, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Maybe the people who set up the maze did something." Fu Jin guessed as he looked at the forest passing by in front of him.Other than being too quiet, he felt nothing dangerous at the moment.

The author has something to say:

-

Fang Xia said to Geng Zhong: Let me introduce you, President Chu Ji, your second aunt, you have to be more polite.

Geng Zhongzhi: ...

Fang Xia: Mr. Chu, this is Geng Shudan's nephew~

Chu Ji: ...
