The forest is rich in resources, and although the nearby villagers do not venture deep into the woods, they are quite familiar with the terrain around the outskirts. After asking the villagers and confirming that there were no obstacles in that area, someone suddenly said, "Have they discovered the Drone? But are they unsure if the Drone has spotted them?"
Searching the mountain with a Drone is quite challenging due to the dense foliage, so they considered themselves lucky to have located that group of people in such a short time.
"It’s possible! If they confirm that the Drone has seen them, they might change direction! We can't let the Drone be visible to them anymore!"
The technician followed orders and maneuvered the Drone to move slowly. To be cautious, he dared not let the Drone quickly exit their line of sight; he needed to create the illusion that the Drone was searching their area.
Keeping them in a tense atmosphere, once the Drone left, they would think they had evaded detection and feel relieved, then make a break for it out of the forest. It would only be when they stepped into an ambush that they would realize they had been deceived.
Without the Drone monitoring them, everyone was anxious and tense, waiting for news from the ambush site about whether their previous actions had tricked the other side.
After more than ten minutes, news finally came in: those people had entered the encirclement. The disparity in strength between enemies and allies was significant, and those individuals were quickly subdued, though one or two fierce ones attempted to break through.
They found a weak spot in the police defense and charged out. While some were held back by officers chasing after them, one managed to escape successfully. The police began searching in the direction where that person had fled, hoping to catch them while it was still fresh.
Zhu Junjie learned that those people had been found and asked, "Did they negotiate terms with you?"
Although Mong Si had a case against him, being in those people's hands meant he was essentially a hostage. The fact that they hadn’t used Mong Si to negotiate with the police felt off…
Zhu Junjie thought of a possibility, his expression changing slightly. "The person they took is no longer with them?"
If that were true, then Mong Si was likely…
Zhu Junjie felt a tightness in his chest.
He could have accepted not knowing about Mong Si's existence, but now that Mong Si had unexpectedly barged into his life and caused a stir before leaving in such a manner, how could his parents, Zhu Junqiao, or even Tong Tong easily accept it?
Zhu Junjie wanted to know the answer quickly; he wanted to enter the mountain but was stopped by others.
Currently, there was a manhunt underway in the forest; if Zhu Junjie went in and got mistakenly injured, they wouldn’t be able to take responsibility.
Zhu Junjie argued with them for a while, but they still wouldn’t relent. Frustrated, he placed his hands on his hips and gazed heavily at the forest.
As he anxiously waited, those who had been captured were gradually brought out. They were all injured to varying degrees; some had painful wounds and were in a semi-conscious state. Upon seeing Zhu Junjie, one of them jumped in shock, "Aren't you supposed to be dead after rolling into Deep Gully? How are you still alive?"
Not only was he alive, but he also appeared to be in good health!
This was too surreal!
"Deep Gully? Are you saying the people you took rolled into Deep Gully? Where is that Deep Gully? Take me there!"
"Isn't the person who rolled into Deep Gully you?"
The speaker recalled their leader's conversation with Mong Si while they were in the vehicle. Mong Si had mentioned having an identical twin brother, so it wasn't surprising that this person looked exactly like Mong Si.
Initially, the person had a ghostly expression, but after realizing the truth, he let out a quiet sigh of relief, his head drooping as he no longer wanted to deal with Zhu Junjie.
Zhu Junjie knew that Mong Si was in Deep Gully but did not know its exact location. Wanting to search for him without any direction, he threatened the man, "If you don’t tell me, I won’t let them treat your injuries. I see you're hurt pretty badly, but it won't be your end right away. When your wounds start to fester and become infected..."
Zhu Junjie's voice was chilling, and the man's expression grew increasingly tense. "You... you wouldn't do that."
"Why wouldn't I? You don't take us seriously and ignore my questions; why should I treat you like a person?" Zhu Junjie's tone became more menacing. "You dared to come to Hai City and take Mong Si; you must know something about him. He’s ruthless, and as his full-blooded brother, my methods can't be any less than his."
Mong Si was the ruler of the island, and anyone who could seize such power was undoubtedly a formidable character. They weren't afraid of Mong Si because he was injured and unable to move well, but even with his legs incapacitated, he still dared to attack them. Just from that alone, he seemed like a specter capable of locking onto his opponent's throat at any moment for a fatal strike.
Due to an innate fear of Mong Si, this man began to feel some fear towards Zhu Junjie as well. He no longer dared to doubt the truthfulness of Zhu Junjie's words and nervously swallowed.
Zhu Junjie noticed that he had intimidated the man. "Take me there, and I'll have your wounds treated. You have two injuries; if you take me to the wrong place and only treat the lighter one, the other..."
"I have a great sense of direction; I will definitely take you to the right spot!"
The man had already agreed. Zhu Junjie decided not to waste any more time; he was determined to find Mong Si.
The mountainous terrain was difficult to navigate, and some advised him to stay on the outskirts while they went in to look for him and inform him if anything happened. Zhu Junjie refused.
Mong Si saved Tong Tong once; now it was his turn to repay that favor!
Zhu Junjie followed the police into the mountains.
Because there was still one person who had not been caught, everyone remained vigilant to prevent that person from launching a surprise attack.
That person was not mistaken; his sense of direction was indeed very good. He did not lead everyone astray and directly found the Deep Gully.
The Deep Gully was about forty to fifty meters deep, and if someone fell in and was covered by leaves, it would be difficult to find them.
The group searched around the edge of the Deep Gully. One person opened his mouth as if to speak, but seeing that no one noticed him, he closed his mouth again.
Zhu Junjie caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye and quickly approached that person. "Did you mark the spot where he fell?"
The person in front of him had a good memory; he should remember where Mong Si fell.
"We didn't make a mark, but he fought with us at that time. I think there should be traces where we fought."
With so many weapons sweeping through, there would definitely be marks left behind. As long as they could find that area, they could locate where Mong Si fell. Even if there were some discrepancies, they wouldn't be significant.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I... I was injured, my head wasn't clear; I just remembered."
They hadn't asked either! The person added in his mind.
Zhu Junjie began searching for those traces.
