Chapter 528: Smooth Return to the City
"Shang Ye, there is no one inside." It took a lot of effort to dig out the rubble, but it turned out that there was nothing, let alone people, not even corpses.
"No one?" Jin Shang frowned, and with that startling glance, he was sure that he was not mistaken, could it be because he was running too fast?
"Shang Ye, do you want to continue the search?" The subordinate asked.
"Let's see if there are any secret passages." Jin Shang calmly commanded.
The subordinates received the order and continued to search for possible hiding places with a few companions while cleaning up, but it was clear that even if they found the old man, it was impossible to find any clues.
And Xia Yanru, who was hiding in the space, also saw clearly the person who had been following her at this time, this man known as Shang Ye, she was sure that she had never seen it, let alone knew it.
If she had seen it, she would not have no impression of this person, and the face that had been burned most of her face was really hard to forget.
"Shang Ye, I've already rummaged through it, and I'm sure there are no clues." The subordinates reported the results of the search again.
Jin Shang stood there and kept his head bowed and silent, with too many doubts in his heart, but in the face of the result of nothing, he had to start believing that he might really be wrong.
Not long after, the group left the stone temple, and seeing the other party leaving, Xia Yanru did not rush out, but continued to hide in the space.
Obviously, Xia Yanru's vigilance also dodged Jin Shang's return gun for her, although this person had chosen to believe that everyone had run away, but after walking for a long time, he suddenly and quietly led people back to the stone temple, and after making sure that there was nothing abnormal, he finally had no choice but to give up.
It wasn't until the sky was completely dark that Xia Yanru was sure that no one would come over, so she carefully walked out of the space, and quickly left the stone temple as soon as she came out, this place should not stay for a long time, even if the other party seems to have given up, but it is not ruled out that the other party will come back again.
After coming out of the stone temple, Xia Yanru did not choose to leave according to the route she came, although she didn't say how familiar this place was, it was still easy to find a safe path.
After rushing for more than an hour, Xia Yanru suddenly heard a whisper, and vigilantly climbed directly to the big tree beside her, using the night and dense branches and foliage to cover her figure.
But in a moment, three people came from afar, these three people were Qi Juan and his subordinates who had successfully escaped, after they successfully got rid of the tracking, they tried to return to the stone temple to find Xia Yanru, but in the face of the messy scene, they were all a little stunned at the time, and their first reaction was that Xia Yanru might have encountered an accident.
Qi Juan not only suspected that Xia Yanru might be arrested, but also worried that if he didn't get caught, he would leave like this and miss the first rescue, so after some entanglement, he decided to search the neighborhood first, If there was no result, he would immediately send a request for help to Ji Wenlin.
Xia Yanru on the tree had already recognized the three Qi judges, and did not deliberately scare the three, first shouted Qi Ju's name softly, and then quickly came down from the tree.
"Miss Xia, it's great that you're okay!" Qi Juan was reborn after the catastrophe with a face, and while he was happy, he regretted how he really ran away with his subordinates at that time, and he didn't know how Xia Yanru escaped with difficulty, and it was very unpleasant to think of this.
"Well, let's get back to Spring City as soon as possible." Xia Yanru nodded, probably able to understand Qi Ju's complicated mood at this time, but she didn't do much to comfort her, after all, they are all adults, and the other party must be able to adjust her mood soon.
Instead of stopping to rest because of the deepening of the night, the group of four went down the mountain overnight, and their car was parked in the village below the mountain, but they were not sure if Jinshang's group would wait for them to pick up the car.
Considering that there is still a long distance from the nearest town on the side of Yukezhai, Xia Yanru and the four of them still feel that they should take the risk of going to the village to have a look, and it would be best if they could drive away smoothly, if the other party was really waiting for the rabbit there, they could only rely on their feet to return to the town and find a way.
After a big circle from the path, it was not until the second half of the night that the four of them came to the outside of the village, this time Qi Juan took the initiative to ask to go in to investigate the enemy's situation, and did not let Xia Yanru rush to the front line again.
Xia Yanru silently agreed to the other party's plan with some amusement, and took the other two to hide on the only way to enter and exit the village, so that it was not only convenient to escape, but also convenient to enter the village in time to assist.
Prepared for the possibility of returning in vain, Qi Juan cautiously entered the village all the way, and their car was parked near the village committee, first cautiously probing around, and then quickly approaching the car after confirming that there was no abnormality.
"Who?" Suddenly, a loud roar rang out, and a figure sprang out from the side of the car.
"Village chief? It's me, Qi Judge! Qi Juan was startled at first, and after recognizing the other party's voice, he immediately replied tentatively.
"It's Comrade Qi, why did you come back in the middle of the night?" The village chief was also taken aback, just now he was taking a nap, and suddenly heard the footsteps of someone approaching, and immediately woke up.
"Something, nothing happened in the village today, right?" Qi Juan didn't continue to get closer, and from his direction, he could see the other party's expression, and pretended to be okay and chatted about the situation in the village.
"Oh, nothing happened, but a group of people came during the day, and at night they suddenly said they were going into the mountains, and they haven't come back yet!" The village chief didn't notice Qi Ju's temptation, and talked about the day's events very enthusiastically.
Qi Juan raised his eyebrows, thinking of what happened in the afternoon, thinking that most of these people were the same group, if the village chief didn't lie, then the pedestrian might have gone to the stone temple again.
didn't continue to chat with the village chief, Qi Juan was afraid that the pedestrian would come back, so after leaving a payment, the village chief repeatedly stayed and drove out of the village.
After all, according to common sense, if those people had been following them, they should have known that they had left the car in the village below the mountain, and it stands to reason that they would arrange for people to wait for the rabbit here, but there was nothing abnormal.
Whether it is Xia Yanru, who has a flexible mind, or Qi Ju, who is good at detecting clues from clues, they are all puzzled by this abnormal result, but they can successfully pick up the car and escape, and the four of them can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After a few days of hurrying, Xia Yanru and her group of four returned to Spring City safely, and the map was also brought back smoothly, when she talked to Ji Wenlin about it, she still couldn't figure it out.
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, maybe they have other plans, they just don't care about this car." Ji Wenlin said with some amusement, no matter how unreasonable all this seemed, he also firmly believed that Ji Cong's subordinates would not be so stupid, and there must have been something abnormal that would make Xia Yanru and them leave so smoothly.
Xia Yanru shrugged her shoulders, she was completely led astray by Qi Ju, this guy had been entangled on the way back, which made her start to question it.
