Chapter 268: Burned

Seeing his figure quickly disappear at the end of the pitch darkness, Meng Yan's heart was full of worry.

Every minute and second of waiting seemed to be very long, probably because she was worried about Ji Chen's safety, she felt that time was extremely difficult.

When she heard the sound coming from the entrance of the cave, she subconsciously glanced at the time, but she didn't expect that only an hour had passed.

She hurriedly stood up, and the two bodyguards behind her hurriedly followed.

"Ji Chen, is that you?"

She shouted anxiously at the entrance of the cave, and after a while, Ji Chen's figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, he was covered with a lot of dust, but he still couldn't hide his noble and light appearance.

Seeing that he came back safe and sound, Meng Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad you're okay, what's going on inside?"

Meng Yan subconsciously wanted to hold her hand, but realizing that his hands were full of dust, he still took his hand back, but he didn't expect that Meng Yan suddenly grabbed him at this time.

She didn't seem to dislike Ji Chen's dirty hands at all, and she held them very tightly.

"There weren't any surprises, did they?"

Sensing that her hand was trembling slightly, Ji Chen's heart warmed, and he also gently shook her hand back.

"Don't worry, it's okay," he said, glancing at the weather outside, which was gradually becoming a little gloomy, and his face was worried, "The weather here is unpredictable, and it looks like there is a high probability of heavy rain again, we need to retreat to the village before the rainstorm comes, otherwise it will be difficult to walk in the rain." ”

It wouldn't matter if there were only a few of them, but now Meng Yan is here.

She was pregnant, and Ji Chen didn't want her to have the slightest accident.

Seeing that the dark clouds on the horizon were getting denser and denser, Meng Yan also knew that this was not a good time to speak, so he obediently followed Ji Chen's people to retreat from the base camp.

She finally found Chiba Village.

Looking at the stone tablet with the three big characters "Chiba Village" written on the door, Meng Yan suddenly remembered what Lao Hei had said to himself before he left, his heart tightened, and he asked a little anxiously.

"Hasn't the bodyguard Lao Hei sent to me by Song Zhuang been found yet?"

She was really worried that Lao Hei had been caught by Hai Rufeng's people now.

With Hai Rufeng's frenzied character, if he knew that Lao Hei was a person sent by inheritance, he might have done something, although it was Lao Hei's duty as a bodyguard, but when he thought that someone would be injured because of himself, Meng Yan's heart couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Ji Chen gave her a reassuring look, "Don't worry, he'll be fine." ”

His gaze looked not far away, thoughtful.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should have taken refuge in a safe place by now."

When he heard this, Meng Yan thought that Ji Chen was thinking about things too simply, the people who were like the wind were chasing after him, and Lao Hei didn't drive, how could he dodge?

But it wasn't until she followed Ji Chen into the second room on the left side of the village that she unexpectedly saw Lao Hei's figure here.

"Are you alright?"

Meng Yan's eyes were full of surprise, she subconsciously looked back at Ji Chen, but saw that his expression was light and calm, and she didn't seem surprised at all.

"Lao Hei is the strongest of all the bodyguards, and it couldn't be easier to escape the search of Hai Rufeng."

This is also the reason why Song Xunmo specially sent Lao Hei to protect Meng Yan.

From the beginning, Ji Chen had a way back.

Lao Hei is the strongest one under his command, and he is also the captain of the bodyguard team, and it is precisely because of this that he wants to leave this person behind to protect Meng Yan, for him, there is no one more important than Meng Yan now.

He once told Song Xunmo that if he encountered an emergency, he would arrange for Lao Hei to protect Meng Yan, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.

It's just that Meng Yan didn't know anything about this, and she only felt relieved.

"Fortunately, you're fine, and I successfully found Ji Chen."

Lao Hei was still that taciturn, he walked up to Ji Chen and gave him a standard bow.

"Mr. Ji, the task is complete!"

Ji Chen's gaze fell on him at this time, and he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"Good work."

Meng Yanyun heard the conversation between the two in a fog, and just wanted to ask what the task Lao Hei was talking about, but saw that Ji Chen had already strode to the big table in the center of the room, and waved to a few people behind him in a deep voice.

"Get out what we're looking for."

Soon the men under his command took out all the things they were carrying in their backpacks.

Meng Yan guessed that most of these were the things they found in the tomb, and when she walked over and took a closer look, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face.

"These things...... Have they all been burned? ”

There weren't many things Ji Chen brought out, but every item seemed to have been burned, and more importantly, these things looked ordinary, including half-burned clothes, completely destroyed watches, and some backpacks and the like.

However, from the outside, they should have been items from many years ago.

Ji Chen swept over the items one by one and nodded.

"The basement is in ruins, and it looks like it was burned by fire, but I found something."
