In the living room, Ye Luo was sitting on the sofa. From time to time, he glanced at the closed door, but saw no movement. He thought Qin Shu was angry.

  Even if she was angry, he still won’t open the door.

  It’s a lot easier that way.

  Ye Luo never expected that the seemingly weak Qin Shu had climbed out the window to slip away.

  After Qin Shu got on the bus, she said to the taxi driver, “Go to Huangtuo Mountain.”


  The taxi driver’s facial expression changed after he heard her, but he still stepped on the gas to drive to Huang Tuo mountain.

  On the way.

  The driver couldn’t help but ask. “Beauty, you’re from out of town, so you might not know about Huangtuo mountain. It’s too dangerous for a girl like you to go to.”


  This was the first time Qin Shu came to Qi Country, so Huangtuo mountain was also unknown to her.

  “Uncle, it’s my first time here. Can you tell me what happened in Huangtuo Mountain?”


  “I heard that a very powerful sovereign warrior suddenly died in Huangtuo mountain a few years ago. At that time, everyone was shocked. Then, one after another, warriors wanted to go to the mountain to check it out, but they all died because of it. So you’d better not go. It’s too dangerous.”


  The taxi driver was an honest man. Seeing that she was a little girl, he couldn’t help but advise her.

  “Thank you for reminding me, uncle. My friend is there.”


  Qin Shu thanked him and didn’t continue asking.

  The driver didn’t say anything more and continued driving.

  They arrived at Huangtuo mountain an hour later, and the sky had already darkened.

  After she got out of the car, Qin Shu paid the fare. “There’s no need for change, Uncle.”


  Then, she pushed open the car door and got out. She carried Boss and walked straight towards the mountain.

  The driver looked at the big banknote in his hand and then at Qin Shu. He shook his head helplessly, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.

  Qin Shu carried Boss and glanced at the signboard on the side of the road. The signboard was made of wood and had been weathered. The paint on it was almost gone.

  The words “Entrance to Huangtuo Mountain’s Scenic Area” were written on it.

  She looked up at the Huangtuo Mountain in front of her. Halfway up the mountain and at the top, there was an old-fashioned house.

  “Meow”. Boss jumped down from Qin Shu’s body. It turned around to glance at Qin Shu, then walked forward with its head held high.

  Qin Shu suddenly laughed. How could she forget that Boss was different from other cats? Its nose was more sensitive than a dog’s.

  With Boss leading the way, it was much easier to find Fu Tingyu.

  Qin Shu followed Boss all the way to the mountainside. Boss stopped walking and raised its head to look at the house in front of it.

  This also meant that there was someone in the house.

  Moreover, the possibility that Fu Tingyu was inside was very high.

  Qin Shu walked to a relatively hidden rock and took off her backpack. She bent down, opened the backpack, and rummaged through it.

  Boss was half-squatting in front of Qin Shu and looking at her curiously.

  She took out the mini surveillance camera and looked at Boss with a sly look in her eyes.

  She fixed the mini surveillance camera on Boss’s leg.

  “Boss, it’s up to you this time. You’re the best.”


  She purposely praised it, then rubbed Boss’s furry head. “Go into the house and look for Gu Yan.”


  Boss was petite and did not make any noise when it walked, so it would not be known by the powerful crimson sand killers.

  Boss looked down at the thing on its feet, and then looked up at Qin Shu. Its dark green eyes rolled around, then it turned around and ran into the house.

  Qin Shu poked her head out from behind the rock. After seeing Boss slip in, she retracted her gaze, took out a laptop from her backpack, placed it on her legs, and opened it.

  Then, she opened the video. The image was a little shaky, but the quality of the image was still okay.

  She put on her Bluetooth headset.

  Not long after, she saw Fu Tingyu’s figure suddenly flash in the image, along with Shi Yan, Ye Leng, and the others beside him.

  The image shook again, and a few unfamiliar faces appeared.

  Boss’ petite figure wandered around the corner of the living room, as if it was looking for someone. She also saw the number of people in the living room clearly.

  But she did not see Gu Yan.

  No wonder Fu Tingyu and the others were in a stalemate with the other party, but they did not dare to make a move.

  Because Gu Yan was in their hands. If they were not careful, Gu Yan would be in danger.

  The picture started to shake again, and it became a little blurry. It passed through a door, then the screen darkened for a moment, and then it lit up again. Boss kept going down the stairs.

  From the surrounding environment, it seemed to be the basement.

  The light on the other end was very dim, so it was not very clear.

  Boss’ meow came into her ears.

  Then she heard a light male voice. “Why is there a cat?”


  This voice seemed to be Gu Yan’s.

  Thinking that Gu Yan might be in the basement, Qin Shu closed her laptop and stuffed it into her backpack. She stood up swiftly from the ground.

  When she came here just now, she had already sized up this house. She could also enter from the back.

  Qin Shu went around the rockery and quickly ran to the back door.

  When she reached the back door, Qin Shu caught a glimpse of a spark in the darkness near the wall.

  There was a person leaning against the wall, and he was smoking.

  Qin Shu bent down and groped on the ground for a while. She touched a stone the size of an egg, picked it up, and placed a cushion in her palm. It was quite heavy.

  She walked toward the man who was smoking and deliberately made a noise.

  “Who’s there?”


  An angry shout came from the darkness of the night.

  Just as the angry shout fell, the stone in Qin Shu’s hand hit the man’s forehead and made him to feel dizzy for a moment.

  Qin Shu quickly ran over and raised her foot to kick the man’s abdomen while pushing him against the wall.

  When her foot left, the man fell to the ground instantly. Before he could even cry out in pain, he had already fainted.

  Under the moonlight, Qin Shu glanced at the man on the ground, then quickly stepped over him and sneaked in through the back door.

  However, after entering, Qin Shu searched for a long time but could not find the entrance to the basement.

  Without knowing where the entrance was, there was no way to rescue Gu Yan first.

  That was because only when Gu Yan was safe would Fu Tingyu and the others dare to let go and confront the crimson sand killer head-on.

  Just when Qin Shu was getting anxious, she saw Boss come out from the carpet.

  No wonder she could not find the entrance to the basement. It turned out that it was covered by the carpet.

  Boss was a little excited when it saw Qin Shu as soon as it came out.

  Qin Shu bent down and lifted the carpet. There was a flight of steps leading straight to the underground.

  She could not wait to go down.

  Boss followed behind her cleverly.

  There were only ten floors on the stairs, and they reached the ground in no time.

  The light in the basement was a little dim.

  Qin Shu’s gaze swept around the basement and saw Gu Yan in the corner. His hands were tied behind his back, and there was a black cloth tied around his eyes.

  Gu Yan did not move or make a sound when he knew someone had come in.

  In order not to let Gu Yan recognize her, Qin Shu took out a voice changer and put it on, then walked over.

  “I’m here to save you. Don’t make a sound.”


  Gu Yan heard a clear male voice and asked in confusion, “Who are you? Why would you save me?”


  “I’m Fu Tingyu’s friend.”
