Chapter 448 Unpopulated Island?
“What did you find?” Zhen Chao straights up his body.
“It’s not about Miss Fu.” Zhen Chao’s subordinate is clear about his worry about his sister, so he explains it immediately.
“Oh.” Zhen Chao is a little disappointed and can’t help lowering his voice, “What’s your discovery?”
“We investigated the suburbs of B City by helicopter this morning. We find a large lake to the west of the city. In the middle of the lake, there is a quite big island, which is completely covered by primeval woods. It used to be an unpopulated island, but we find houses among the woods.”
“Houses? Are they built by fishermen for temporary rest?”
“We don’t think so. If they are really built by fishermen, it’s more convenient to build them at the edge of the island, isn’t it? But the houses we’ve found are among the woods in the middle of the island. They are covert and can’t be found unless you look carefully. But we’re not clear about the detailed situation and don’t dare to descend on the island rashly, so I call you for an instruction.”
“You think…”
“We’ve been searching for the drug-manufacturing den of Xiao Jinchong for a long time, but it’s in vain.”
Zhen Chao understands his meaning immediately, so he orders at once, “Send someone to creep onto the island by water at a proper time. Investigate the island secretly.”
“Yes, commander.”
Zhen Chao puts down the phone and continues to stare at Xiao Jinchong.
Xiao Jinchong sighs and implores the policemen, “Sergeant Ji, Sergeant Yang, Zhenxing has killed himself to escape punishment. Please allow me to take his remains back for the sake of my active cooperation. His parents told me to take good care of him before they died. Unexpectedly, he would have such an end. That’s because I spoil him. This is the last thing I can do for him. It can alleviate my guilty slightly.”
“Xiao Jinchong’s speech is usually flawless. We can only hear these things.” Tang Feng sighs.
Zhen Chao laughs coldly, “We never expected to get any useful information from him.”
Then he tells Tang Feng the discovery on the island.
Tang Feng is shocked, “Is the drug-manufacturing den there? I have been hiding around Xiao Jinchong for such a long time, but I don’t know where the den is. No wonder he persists in developing his power in B City. Even in this case, he doesn’t leave. It seems that it’s related to the island!”
“I’m going to send someone to creep onto the island for an investigation tonight. If our guess is right, we’ll score a lucky hit.”
An idea spring to Tang Feng’s mind, “We’ve almost turned B City over but still can’t find Ting and Zhengzheng. Are they on the island too?”
“Probably!” Han Siqi becomes excited. He stares at Zhen Chao and says, “I’ll go there now.”
Finding the interrogation is almost over, Zhen Chao says instantly, “Let’s go to the lakeside to check the terrain. Tang Feng, stay here. After the interrogation is finished, let Yang Tao and others take you back.”
“OK.” When Tang Feng responds, Zhen Chao strides out. Han Siqi follows him.
They drive fast to the lake to the west of the city where they parked their car this morning.
Han Siqi looks far at the dam and just sees emerald lake water. He doesn’t see the so-called island and feels disappointed.
“Where is the island?”
“It’s too far and the lake is shrouded in mist, so we can’t see it clearly.” Soon, a watchman brings a telescope. Zhen Chao takes it, looks and then gives it to Han Siqi.
With the telescope, Han Siqi finds there is really an island in the lake and asks at once, “Where is a boat?”
Zhen Chao understands his meaning and shakes the head, “If they really do evil on the island, we can’t land on it in daytime. Besides, they must have arms, so I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to land on the island. Let my special soldiers land on it for an investigation.”
“When will they land on it?” Han Siqi is extremely anxious as if Zhengzheng were waving at him on the island.
“After it becomes dark at least.”
Han Siqi falls into silence and keeps staring at the faraway lake.
When Han Siqi and Zhen Chao travel around anxiously, Fu Zhengzheng and Zhu Ting don’t stop. They keep walking deep into the woods in the opposite direction of the place where they escaped from. As Zhu Ting says, this island is probably not big. So long as they walk in a direction, they are sure to go out of the woods.
“Zhu Ting, I’m too tired. Let’s take a break.” Fu Zhengzheng’s feet have blistered.
“OK. Sit here. I will look for something for you to eat.” Zhu Ting helps Fu Zhengzheng sit down and looks around. After making sure it’s not dangerous, she goes away to look for food.
Fu Zhengzheng takes off her shoes and rubs her feet. She touches the blister unintentionally and grimaces in pain. Seeing a puddle nearby, she walks over on tiptoe and washes the mud on her feet carefully while bearing the pain. Looking at the bloody heels, she can’t help gasping.
Don’t think her fragile. You know she has been pregnant for about three months. What’s worse, they have kept walking and running since the morning till now. They hope to get away from those bad guys as far as possible and run to the lakeside as soon as possible to see if they are lucky enough to come across a boat. Thus, they can escape from this dangerous land soon.
“Zhengzheng? Zhengzheng?” Zhu Ting calls her quietly. Fu Zhengzheng responds her in a low voice instantly.
“Zhu Ting, I’m here.”
Zhu Ting runs over. Seeing her heels with blisters, she feels sympathetic. She puts down the wild fruit on the ground, pulls some herbs and applies them on her feet.
“Bear the pain. We’ll go out soon.”
Fu Zhengzheng nods with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. I suffered more when I was trained before.”
“But you were not pregnant at that time. Now you have a baby. Come on, eat some fruit to build your energy. I will try to hunt a hare or pheasant.”
Fu Zhengzheng takes the wide fruit and bites it, “It tastes sweet. Can you hunt?”
“It’s a piece of cake. It’s a pity that I can’t use a gun, or I have roasted one for you now.” Zhu Ting bends over to help Fu Zhengzheng roll up her trouser legs, “Don’t wet your trousers, or you’ll catch a cold when the cool wind blows in the evening. We can’t fall sick now.”
“You’re so considerate.”
“I have to. I can only look after you in this way. Look at you. If you go back to B City in this way, who can believe you are the dearest wife of the Vice President of Weihan Group?”
Fu Zhengzheng looks down and finds she is wearing a suit of loose maternity clothes. Then she laughs.
“Why are you laughing?” Zhu Ting is confused.
“I think after the guys catching you found me last night, they didn’t recognize me definitely, or the head wouldn’t have looked at me with so shocked eyes before he died today.”
Zhu Ting laughs too, “Maybe. You used to show up in a noble and elegant manner. How can they expect you can be so common-looking? Just as the saying goes, the tailor makes the man.”
“If they knew who I was, I’m sure they wouldn’t lock us together.”
“Then we couldn’t escape cooperatively.”
They look at each other and laugh together.
“What time is it?”
Fu Zhengzheng looks at the watch, “It’s past 2:00.”
“Let’s go now and try to go out before the darkness fall.” Zhu Ting gets anxious when she thinks that the temperature in the woods will drop at night but they can’t light a fire when they sleep.
She isn’t nervous for herself. Actually, she is worried about Fu Zhengzheng. After all, Fu Zhengzheng is pregnant and the physical quality is worse than hers.
Suddenly, they hear a gunshot nearby. She is scared and pulls Fu Zhengzheng to hide behind bushes.
“Damn! Why did you shoot?” Someone snaps furiously.
“I…I failed to control myself. Brother Xiang, this pheasant is a gift for you. I’ll bring you a bottle of good alcohol tonight. Let’s enjoy ourselves, OK?”
“Alcohol, alcohol, you only have alcohol on your brain. Do you forget why we come out?” He isn’t grateful apparently.
“I don’t. We come out to look for the two bitches. But the point is we even don’t know their appearances. How can we find them?”
“The island is only populated by men. Is it necessary for us to know their appearances?”
“I want to know if they are pretty. If they are not, I would rather lie down and sleep secretly. If they are pretty, hee-hee.” He laughs lecherously.
“On the damn island, so long as you have a woman to fuck, that’s enough. Don’t be so picky. That will do. No more nonsense. Let’s roast and eat the pheasant somewhere comfortable. After looking for such a long time, we haven’t found any sign of women. I’m so hungry.”
“OK, Brother Xiang. I found a cave nearby the other day. Shall we roast the pheasant there? No one will find us.”
“Why didn’t you say earlier? Let’s go.”
They go away hurriedly and their voices fade. Then Zhu Ting pulls Fu Zhengzheng out.
“We need to go right now. If they find us, we’ll be in trouble. They have guns.”
Fu Zhengzheng nods and goes fast forward with Zhu Ting, bearing the pain.
After walking over half an hour, her eyes light up suddenly, points nearby and shouts, “Look! Smoke. Have we walked to the edge of the woods?”
Looking in the direction of her finger, Zhu Ting sees smoke indeed and sees houses vaguely, but she doesn’t feel excited, “Are they populated by the guys searching for us just now?”
Hearing that, Fu Zhengzheng becomes frustrated immediately, “If so, we’ll be in danger again, won’t we?”
“Let go there for a look.” They move slowly to the place with smoke and see several rows of orderly houses. Before each of them, some guys are guarding with guns.
“This is…” Fu Zhengzheng turns around to ask Zhu Ting. Before she is done, Zhu Ting pulls her behind a tree.
“Hush–” Zhu Ting signals her to be silent while pointing forward.
Fu Zhengzheng cranes her neck and peeps. She is startled, because some men with guns are walking to them.
A man turns around suddenly to look in their direction. Fu Zhengzheng retracts her head in panic.
The man shouts towards the direction, “Who is there? Come out!”
