The other three people were confused by his actions. Ye Jian saw their puzzled expressions when they wiped the rainwater off their faces. After the younger bald man called them to the side and whispered something to them, all of them turned excited.
Ye Jian regarded Brother Hong as her main observation target. She smiled. When the four men turned around, Brother Hong, who was resting with closed eyes, opened them and glanced over. Ye Jian noticed an obvious killing intent in his expression.
They didn’t leave so Ye Jian didn’t leave either. This route was the fastest route through the entire rainforest. If she moved away from it, she wouldn’t be able to reach her camping ground by tonight.
Ten minutes later, Brother Hong stood up with the help of his crutch. He wore the raincoat he bought in the city and continued on his journey.
Ye Jian followed them all the way. Occasionally, she heard Brother Hong telling the other four men where to go. The direction they were heading… Ye Jian couldn’t help but sigh softly. It was where she was heading.
Drug transactions were common at the boundary of the two countries. It was very normal to meet people transacting in this rainforest.
It was close to the end of the year so all the criminals ran wild and wanted to earn a huge pile of money before the year ends. The risk of dealing drugs was high. However, it was an easy way to earn money. People who kept thinking of getting rich would take this risk.
If they continued to move in the same direction as her, Ye Jian hoped that the border guards would find them quickly.
Half an hour later, Leader Liu brought his team to the location where the five drug dealers rested. “Look around. Let Big Condor take a rest.” Big Condor was the name of the sniffer dog. He was a member of their team.
Leader Liu started searching around to see if there were new hints. Very soon, his gaze landed on a vine that was tied purposely. He looked around the vine and soon noticed the hint Ye Jian left behind.
There was a newly carved arrow at the bottom of the tree. On the tip of the arrow, there was a five-pointed star.
Captain Liu squinted slightly as he touched the moss on the roots of the tree. As expected, he saw a small five-pointed star below as well as a small sword and the number 1.
…That person was really one of them! He even knew the codes of the border defense narcotics squad!
Why was there someone else here? Their heads only assigned their team to watch over the target. It was impossible that there were other comrades on this mission. Could it be an individual mission? That was even more impossible! What was going on? Who else was watching over their target?
Captain Liu erased the hints and continued leading his team forward. They weren’t far from their target but they weren’t near either. He didn’t care who was in front of them. He only knew that his brothers were beside him. This made him feel slightly at ease.
Let’s see what other symbols are there.
One hour later, Captain Liu saw another group of symbols. Near the roots of the tree, he saw a row of the number ‘1’. The ‘1’ in front was slightly longer while the four ‘1’s behind were shorter but all four had the same length. Below this was another row of ‘1’s that had no consistent length.
Captain Liu couldn’t help but smile when he saw this. Interesting. This person used numbers to pass down information.
The longer ‘1’ represented Brother Hong. The four shorter ‘1’s represented the four people with him. The whole row of ‘1’s below them meant that Brother Hong had reinforcements.
Their comrade in front followed Brother Hong really closely. He was even able to hear what they said. This allowed him to provide them with information about Brother Hong’s movement but it also meant that once he got in danger, they wouldn’t be able to rescue him immediately.
