Chapter 1627: Untitled
Feng Wu said, “Really?”
Feng Xun said, “But he soon came back out with a basket and headed for the other side of the hill, so I followed him.”
Feng Wu narrowed her eyes.
Feng Xun said, “There’s a secret karst cave there. If this guy hadn’t led me there, I would never have found that place!”
Feng Wu asked, “Then?”
Feng Xun said, “After that guy walked into the cave, somehow, he turned around and saw me. I —”
Feng Wu looked at Feng Xun in resignation.
Feng Xun looked perfectly innocent. “I didn’t expect him to turn around so suddenly. If I didn’t go after him, what if he ran away?”
Feng Wu said, “You idiot! He saw your shadow on the wall. Why wouldn’t he turn his head?”
Feng Xun said, “Well… you have a point. Then this guy sounded the alarm. Everything happened all at once, and I didn’t have time to react. By the time I caught that man with the hat, the other people in the cave had already run off.”
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
Feng Xun looked troubled. “I looked around and saw that there were indeed traces of people living there before, and someone had indeed been held there as a prisoner, but I can’t say that it was Chaoge…”
Feng Wu had a strong feeling that she might have lost a lead to find and save Chaoge.
Without saying another word, Feng Wu quickened her pace.
She covered the ten-minute distance in seven minutes.
“Where is he?”
Feng Wu turned around and stared at Feng Xun when she saw the empty cave.
Feng Xun looked completely at a loss. “I… I knocked him out before I left and tied him to a pillar in the cave. I thought I had taken all precautions. How could he have possibly escaped?! Damn it!
“It’s all my fault!” Feng Xun felt very guilty.
It was a very important lead in saving Chaoge, and Xiao Wu had forced that man to reveal himself at the cost of her own reputation. She had then handed the task to Feng Xun, but he…
“I’m such an idiot!” Feng Xun slapped himself, his eyes filled with guilt.
Feng Wu was also anxious, but she calmed down when she saw how worried Feng Xun was.
With what had happened, there was no point blaming him. He wanted to help Chaoge, but things simply hadn’t gone their way.
Feng Xun had always been a little careless, and Feng Wu hoped that this incident would help him overcome that shortcoming.
Feng Wu ignored Feng Xun, who was still blaming himself. There was an intelligent look in her narrowed eyes.
She had always believed that one could learn a lot from behavioral analysis.
When she looked at the marks around the pillar, she smiled a little.
He wasn’t going anywhere!
Thump!
Feng Wu kicked the wall of the cave.
“Xiao Wu, the cave might collapse if you do that —”
However, before Feng Xun could finish, he heard a loud thump, and the ground trembled.
He yanked Feng Wu back and shielded her with his own body.
When the dust settled, they saw a man huddled in a rectangular hollow.
It was none other than —
“It’s you!”
Feng Xun almost exploded when he saw who it was!
That was the guy he had tied up before!
He thought that the man had escaped. As it turned out, he had been hiding beneath them!
“You b*stard! You tried to trick me?!” Feng Xun felt like he had just been swindled.
