Chapter 893: An Underground Room
“Well, I hope that you all can listen to me this time,” Gu Ning said with a serious face.
“What do you plan to do?” He Yishao asked.
Everyone looked at Gu Ning.
“Shaoting and I will land on the island first, and the rest of you can stay on the yacht. If He Siyang is kept on the island, He Hongyuan’s people must be there as well. If we all go on to the island, they will probably steal our yacht and leave here with He Siyang. If so, we can’t rescue He Siyang, or chase them without a yacht,” Gu Ning said.
“It’s very dangerous if only the two of you go search for him on the island.” He Yishao was worried.
“Yeah,” He Siyin agreed. “We don’t know how many people they have. If only the two of you go, it is really very dangerous.”
“Relax, even if the rest of you fight together against only the two of us, you won’t win,” Gu Ning said. She wasn’t being arrogant, she was only telling the truth.
What?
Hearing that, He Yishao and the others rounded their eyes in shock.
How good are they at fighting?
Although he and He Siyin were bad at fighting, they brought 10 bodyguards with them, who were great security guards. In ordinary people’s eyes, those bodyguards were threatening enough. However, they were merely n.o.body in Gu Ning’s eyes.
“Oh, did you beat Hong Yuefei’s people down within a minute outside Gonghao Hotel that day?” He Siyin suddenly remembered.
“Yes,” Gu Ning replied.
“Well, I think you’re right. We’re not your match at all,” He Siyin said.
Hearing that, He Yishao was surprised. Hong Yuefei’s people were all good at fighting. If Gu Ning was able to beat them down within a minute, she must be super good at martial arts.
“My hearing and sense of smell are better than that of ordinary people too, but it could affect my judgment if there are too many people around me. Whether we can find him or not, we’ll come back after two hours,” Gu Ning said at the end.
He Siyang was on the island now, so He Hongyuan’s people must be there too. In case any accidents happened, Gu Ning told Gao Yi and Qiao Ya to stay in the yacht with the others.
He Siyin and He Yishao agreed.
Gao Yi and Qiao Ya listened to Gu Ning, so they stayed in the yacht as she told them to.
After that, Gu Ning walked aside with Qiao Ya, and secretly gave her a gun.
She took this gun away from a bunch of bad guys before. It wasn’t the one that Leng Shaoting gave her.
Qiao Ya was surprised that Gu Ning carried a gun with her without anyone finding it, but she knew that she shouldn’t ask further about it.
Around a dozen minutes later, the yacht moved near to the small island.
It was a cloudy day, and the sky was covered by layers of mist, which looked mysterious and solemn.
Gu Ning told He Yishao to sail around the small island for a round. She needed to have a look first.
When the yacht moved around the small island, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to observe it.However, because of the distance and mist, Gu Ning couldn’t see very far with her Jade Eyes.
Although this island wasn’t very large, it was quite rugged. Waves were violently beating the rocky reefs at the edge of this island. People could get through from some places, but it was very dangerous to just go close to it.
There was also a large area of cliff, which was nearly 40 meters tall with rocks under it as well.
After moving around the island once, the yacht could only stop at the beach that was around 20 meters long with a few rocks. It was the only access to the small island.
Both Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting took a dagger with them, then got off the yacht together.
“Be careful!”
Although He Siyin and He Yishao believed that they could protect themselves well, they were still worried about them.
“Don’t worry, we will!” Gu Ning comforted them, then walked into the dense trees with Leng Shaoting.
Once they entered the small island, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to scan around.
Leng Shaoting was also checking the surroundings. Even though he didn’t have Jade Eyes, he had acute senses.
They moved side by side, because they could protect each other.
The roads on the island were a little rough, but it was nothing to Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting. Occasionally, a poisonous snake came out at short notice. Although Leng Shaoting cut it in half every time, Gu Ning was still slightly scared by it. She wasn’t afraid of snakes, but thought that they were disgusting.
After walking a third of the island, they still found n.o.body on it, so they went to an ancient house with a yard the size of a basketball field that Shen Zhaoxuan had told Gu Ning.
This island wasn’t big after all, so this house looked big on the undeveloped land.
There were few people on this island because it hadn’t been developed yet. The house was still in good condition, and people could directly stay inside after cleaning it.
Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to see inside of the house at once, but saw n.o.body. Instead, she found a clean room in the house, and it was obvious that some people were staying there.
She believed that they must be He Hongyuan’s people.
Nevertheless, the room was empty now. Those people must have hidden away after noticing their yacht.
Gu Ning was surprised that He Hongyuan’s people knew that they were on the island. Some of them must have been keeping watch by the sea just then, and hid away the second any s.h.i.+ps moved near.
Afterwards, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to see the underground area.
Normally, there were underground rooms or pa.s.sages in ancient houses of this kind. She wanted to see whether they hid themselves somewhere like that.
She was right. There was indeed an underground room. It wasn’t big, and was about 10 square-meters large. There were people hiding inside whispering to each other, but Gu Ning wasn’t able to hear their conversation.
What confused Gu Ning was that He Siyang wasn’t among them.
Why?
Is He Siyang being kept somewhere else?
