Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu wanted to accompany Ou Zhenglin to discuss some private matters, so they did not go.
Only Chi Jiao, Quan Jue, Gu Xia, and Shen Liao went up the mountains.
Of course, there were no hunting guns. Chi Jiao and the others were using very old bows and arrows.
After leaving the old residence, Chi Jiao secretly stuffed a hangover pill into Quan Jue’s mouth. “Brother Quan, eat this. You’ll feel much better.”
Quan Jue swallowed the hangover pill. Seeing Gu Xia and Shen Liao walking in front, he couldn’t help but lower his head and gently kiss her hair. “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Chi Jiao reached out to him.
Quan Jue immediately held her hand.
There was a forest halfway up the mountains. Normally, no large wild beasts would appear here, but there were many wild rabbits and silly roe deers.
Chi Jiao wasn’t interested in eating silly roe deers. Instead, she liked to eat rabbit meat and wild chicken.
When they reached the forest, Gu Xia turned to look at Chi Jiao and Quan Jue behind her. When he saw them holding hands, his lips twitched.
“Quan Jue, how about we have a competition?” Gu Xia suddenly asked.
“Compete in what?” Quan Jue asked indifferently.
“Let’s see who catches a wild rabbit first.” Gu Xia smiled.
“Do we have a bargaining chip for victory or defeat?” Quan Jue asked again.
Gu Xia raised his eyebrow. “Of course. Otherwise, it would be so boring.”
Quan Jue looked ready to listen.
Gu Xia glanced at Shen Liao. When he saw his nod, he cleared his throat and said, “In our competition, Shen Liao and Jiaojiao will be the referees. The winner will have to agree to a request from the loser. This request has no time limit, and it can be exchanged at any time. The request must not touch the other party’s bottom line.”
Upon hearing that, Chi Jiao knew that he was up to no good again. She turned to look at Quan Jue and said, “Brother Quan, ignore him if you don’t want to agree.”
With that, she glared at Gu Xia.
This time, Gu Xia pretended not to see the daggers in her eyes.
“It’s just a small competition to amuse Jiaojiao,” Shen Liao suddenly said, staring straight at Quan Jue with hidden displeasure.
Anyway, no matter what others think, I feel extremely uncomfortable that Jiaojiao has been abducted by Quan Jue just like that.
“Okay.” Quan Jue agreed without hesitation.
The group walked deeper into the forest.
At that moment, they did not notice two sneaky figures following them quietly the moment they entered the forest.
“Boss, did you see her clearly? Is it really that girl?” The short man asked the tall man beside him.
The tall man stared straight at Chi Jiao, who was ten meters away. He walked unhurriedly and whispered to the short man, “I will recognize her even if she turns into ashes!”
“That girl is so pretty! I like her!” The short man revealed a wretched smile.
“You sure are useless! After we kidnap her, we’ll have fun before killing her,” the tall man said with a ferocious look in his eyes.
“I think that’s a good idea.” The short man touched the gun on his waist and nodded with a smile.
“Follow them cautiously,” the tall man said in a low voice. “Let’s tail them a bit longer before attacking.”
The short man nodded in agreement.
The deeper they went into the forest, the quieter it became. Other than the sound of nature, there were no other noises.
