The mountains are rich in resources, and although the nearby villagers do not venture deep into the forest, they are quite familiar with the surrounding terrain. 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 dense forest with a Drone is quite challenging, and 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 monitored within their line of sight!"
The technician followed orders and maneuvered the Drone to move slowly. To be safe, he dared not let the Drone quickly leave their sight; he needed to create the illusion that the Drone was searching their area.
By keeping them in a tense atmosphere, once the Drone left, they would think they had evaded detection and feel relieved, then hastily leave the forest. It would only be when they walked 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 fooled the other side.
After more than ten minutes, news finally came in that those people had entered the encirclement. The disparity in strength between the enemy and themselves was significant; those people were quickly subdued, but one or two fierce individuals attempted to break through.
They found a weak point in police defense and charged out, as some were desperately holding back pursuing officers. Among them, one managed to escape successfully.
The police began searching in the direction that person had fled, hoping to act quickly and find him.
Zhu Junjie learned that those people had been located and asked, "Did they not negotiate terms with you?"
Although Mong Si had a case against him, being in those people's hands made him 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. "That person they took away 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; however, now that Mong Si had unexpectedly barged into his life and caused turmoil before leaving in this 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 mountains but was stopped by others.
Currently, there was a manhunt happening in the forest; if Zhu Junjie went in and got mistakenly injured, they would have no way 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 looked heavily at the forest.
As he waited anxiously, people who had been captured were brought out one by one. They were all injured to varying degrees; some had painful wounds and were in a semi-conscious state. When they saw Zhu Junjie, they were startled and exclaimed, "Aren't you the one who fell into Deep Gully? How are you still alive?"
Not only was he alive, but he appeared to be in good health!
This was too surreal!
"Deep Gully? Are you saying that the people you took fell into Deep Gully? Where is that? Take me there!"
"Isn't the person who fell 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.
The individual initially wore a ghostly expression, but after realizing the situation, he sighed in relief, letting his head droop as he no longer wanted to engage with Zhu Junjie.
Zhu Junjie knew that Mong Si was in Deep Gully but didn't know its exact location. He wanted to search for him but lacked direction. He threatened the man, saying, "If you don't tell me, I won't let them treat your injuries. I see you're hurt pretty badly, but I won't take your life immediately. When your wounds become infected and start to fester..."
Zhu Junjie's voice was chilling, and the man's expression grew tense. "You... you wouldn't do that."
"Why wouldn't I? You don't regard us at all and ignore my questions; why should I treat you like a person?" Zhu Junjie’s tone became increasingly menacing. "You dared to come to Hai City to take Mong Si; you must know something about him. He is ruthless, and as his full-blooded brother, my methods can't be any less severe than his."
Mong Si was the ruler of the island; anyone who could contend for such power was undoubtedly a formidable character. They weren't afraid of Mong Si because he was injured and unable to move easily, yet even with his legs incapacitated, he still dared to attack them. From this alone, he resembled a specter, capable of locking onto his opponent's throat at any moment for a fatal strike.
Due to an inherent fear of Mong Si, this man began to feel some trepidation towards Zhu Junjie as well. He no longer dared to doubt the truth of Zhu Junjie's words and nervously swallowed.
Zhu Junjie noticed that he had intimidated the man. "Take me there, and I'll help treat your injuries. You have two wounds; if we go to the wrong place and only treat the lighter one, then the other..."
"I have a good sense of direction; I will definitely lead you to the right spot!"
The man had already agreed. Zhu Junjie decided not to waste any more time and resolved to find Mong Si.
The mountain forest was difficult to navigate, and some advised him to stay on the outskirts while they went in to look for him and notify him if anything happened, but Zhu Junjie refused.
He had saved Mong Si once; now it was time to repay that favor!
Zhu Junjie followed the police into the mountains.
Because there was still one person who had not been caught, everyone became alert to prevent that person from launching a surprise attack.
That person was not wrong; 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 a person 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 make a mark at the spot where he fell?"
The person in front of him had a good memory and should remember where Mong Si had fallen.
"We didn't make a mark, but he fought with us at that time. I think there should be traces at the spot where we fought."
With so many weapons sweeping through, there would definitely be traces left behind. As long as they could find that area, they could locate where Mong Si had fallen. Even if there was some deviation, it wouldn't be significant.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I... I was injured, my head wasn't clear, I just remembered it."
They hadn't asked either! The person added in his mind.
Zhu Junjie began to search for those traces.
