Chapter 249: 249, Rainforest Pursuit (2)_1
Jian Qing shook her head, showing no emotion in the depths of her eyes.
Under the dim light, Quan Mingxuan saw her hand and couldn’t help but frown.
Her delicate fingers were covered in scars, her blood-stained hand was shocking to the eye. If Jingwu saw this, he would surely be heartbroken.
He raised his head, looked at her profile, and placed the food and water next to her.
Without further persuasion, he stood up and said something, then turned to leave.
“Jian Qing, you should know that Jingwu cares about you, and it breaks his heart to see you like this.”
Jian Qing, who had been digging in the rock, paused and bit her lip.
Would he? Would he care?
If he did care, why hasn’t he shown up yet?
“How is it? Did she eat?” Han Yue asked when Quan Mingxuan returned.
Quan Mingxuan shook his head.
Han Yue frowned and rubbed his brows, “What should we do then? If this goes on, she won’t be able to take it. When Jingwu returns, she might have already collapsed.”
Quan Mingxuan turned to look at Jian Qing’s back and sighed, “The only one who can bring Jian Qing back to her senses is Jingwu.”
The current Jian Qing was too calm, as if she was in a kind of madness. If Jingwu did not show up, they did not dare to imagine the consequences.
Upon hearing this, Han Yue fell into silence.
…..
The tropical rainforest with rolling hills was filled with towering ancient trees, layers upon layers of greenery spreading endlessly outwards.
The humid air carried a hint of stuffiness. As the sky brightened, a thin mist filled the depths of the forest.
The hurried sound of footsteps echoed, crunching the fallen leaves on the ground.
“Bang bang bang -”
The sound of gunfire filled the air, with the bullets hitting the thick tree trunk.
“Boss, hurry up, they’re closing in.”
The man dressed in camouflage was almost blending in with the trees. Having run for the whole night, his steps had gotten heavier.
The man in front of him was holding a black box, his eyes crimson red. The scar on his face made him look even more intimidating.
“Dammit, Quan Jingwu! I swear I’ll get you back for this!”
While running, he kept cursing under his breath.
“Dufeng, where do you think you’re running to?”
Shen Hao looked at the fleeing figures up ahead, a bloodthirsty curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.
To capture them, they had expended quite a bit of effort and had been in this godforsaken rainforest for quite some time. If they still couldn’t catch them, how embarrassing would that be?
Dufeng turned around and shot a few rounds towards Shen Hao and Qiao Yu.
“Bang bang bang -”
Shen Hao and Qiao Yu were not an easy target, they quickly took cover behind a thick tree, avoiding the gunshots with a smell of powder.
Dufeng pulled the trigger and found that he was out of bullets. The veins on his forehead stood out.
“Dammit!”
“Boss!” The man in the camouflage suit stopped in his tracks, his voice filled with fear.
The sudden appearance of King Yama meant that they were in deep trouble this time.
Dufeng followed his gaze and saw that their path was blocked by someone.
He dropped the gun without bullets from his hand, and his eyes, like that of a venomous snake, stared at the man not far away, “Quan Jingwu!”
Tall figure, cold face with clear angles, and a pair of frosty purple eyes, who else could it be other than the man Jian Qing was madly looking for?
The man was dressed entirely in black, standing with an imposing posture.
When Shen Hao had caught up, he saw Dufeng and his men stopped running, he exchanged a smile with Qiao Yu.
Confronting their Boss, even if they had wings, they would probably not be able to escape from his palm.
“Quan Jingwu, I never had any grudges against you. Why are you constantly hunting me? Did Ouyang Yu offer you something?” Dufeng was gritting his teeth, holding the dark box tightly in his hand.
Quan Jingwu raised his eyebrows, a scornful smile appeared at the corner of his lips, “Dufeng, you’ve delayed me for too long.”
His voice was as cold as Shura, like the devil’s music coming from antiquity.
As soon as his words ended, he lunged at Dufeng with baffling speed.
Dufeng was startled and fell back again, narrowly avoiding Jingwu’s punch.
His expression darkened, he dropped the black box in his hand and fought back.
He knew that if he could not pass through Quan Jingwu this time, his chances of escaping were slim.
The two abandoned their firearms and engaged in a bare-knuckle brawl. In no time at all, Dufeng was at a clear disadvantage and was already beginning to struggle.
“Ugh-”
Quan Jingwu landed a kick on his stomach, the force of the blow made Dufeng feel like his internal organs were being repositioned.
Spitting out blood, before he could react, the dark muzzle was already pointed at his forehead.
“Boss!”
The man in the camouflage suit was caught by Shen Hao, his hands were held behind his back, and his leg was shot. He knelt on the ground.
Dufeng glanced at him, then turned his eyes back to Quan Jingwu.
“Quan Jingwu, I’m curious. How did you figure out our trajectory?” It was too accurate. Given the size of this tropical rainforest, it’s impossible to have caught them so quickly. There must be something fishy here.
At this, Qiao Yu revealed a smirk, generously answering Dufeng’s question, “Dufeng, let me answer that for you. When I went to the hotel, I ran into your men. When he wasn’t looking, I slipped him something.”
Dufeng’s eyes flashed with a glint of cruelty. So that’s how it was. No wonder they were able to locate their traces so quickly. In the end, he had been betrayed by his own man.
Quan Jingwu’s thin lips curled into a cold smile, and his finger pulled the trigger, not giving Dufeng any more chance to speak.
“Bang -”
A thumb-sized hole in Dufeng’s forehead was gushing out blood. He died instantly, his eyes wide open, and blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
His body slid down and limply collapsed onto the fallen leaves.
“Now it’s your turn!” Shen Hao turned his gaze towards the man in the green suit. Seeing that he was still in shock from Dufeng’s death and wasn’t blinking an eye, he immediately shot him.
“Finally, all done.” Qiao Yu picked up the black box that Dufeng had dropped, stretched his waist, “I’m exhausted!”
“Let’s go!” Quan Jingwu threw his gun at Shen Hao and left.
“Yes.” Shen Hao and Qiao Yu followed in perfect sync.
…..
Overnight, the rescue effort in J City was still ongoing.
The high-ranking officials of China also arrived in J city early in the morning to express their condolences.
First and foremost among them were Mister An Zhonghui and An Chong, along with several political high-ranking officials.
“Axuan, look, isn’t that Chu Yihen?” Under the umbrella, Han Yue narrowed his eyes, noticing the figure approaching in the distance, his expression darkening.
At his words, Quan Mingxuan immediately stood up and followed his gaze.
Sure enough, it was Chu Yihen.
“What is he here for?” Could it be that he accompanied Master Chu to express condolences?
