Chapter 294: Mo Jingshen Was the One in Control
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mo Jingshen watched this scene with a straight face.
Dali laughed again, letting go of Ji Nuan’s chin.
It wasn’t until she was taken out of the cabin that she realized she had survived.
It seemed that in such kind of a place, instead of IQ, patience mattered most.
No wonder Feng Ling used to say that Mo Jingshen could cost some people billions with a single decision. Mo Jingshen could get to know all the thoughts of his enemies and even grasp all the psychological ideas and changes of theirs precisely. Dali had obviously lost to him just now.
Mo Jingshen had figured out what was in their minds. Ji Nuan was just trying to be cooperative, but Mo Jingshen was the one in control.
He was so intelligent.
Ji Nuan was much calmer now. If she lived an hour longer, or even a day longer, there would be greater hope of both of them going out alive.
So, Ji Nuan pa.s.sed another peaceful night.
It was a long night. The first night here she was really more scared than calm. After all, she, living in a peaceful world in Hai City, had never experienced such a day when her life was at the mercy of someone else. This was literally a den of monsters.
Knowing that everything was supposed to be under Mo Jingshen’s, tonight she was a little more relaxed.
As the hours dragged on, the kerosene lamps in the cabin burned out. Ji Nuan sat in the room in a daze and then lay on the bed, tossing and turning carefully. The old woman was a light sleeper because she was aged. The slightest movement of hers would wake up the old woman, so she moved very gently.
All was quiet at the dead of night. The watchmen in the camp sat on the ground and took a short nap. Each man was carrying a gun.
Ji Nuan suddenly wanted to go to the toilet. These days, the old woman would accompany her to find a safe place in the forest to solve this physiological problem, and not far away from there would be people watching, which was very embarra.s.sing.
After the old woman fell asleep, Ji Nuan carefully got up from the wooden bed and crept out of the cabin. When she saw that the two watchmen outside the cabin were sleeping under the tree, she held her breath and walked around them. She spent more than ten minutes and almost got lost before she finally found a suitable place to pee.
She also managed to avoid the eyes of two other men on patrol in the camp.
Outside, the jungle was thick and leafy, blocking out the moon, and the muggy air was humming with insects and birds.
When Ji Nuan was ready to go back, she stopped after only a few meters.
After she was caught here, she had never been out alone. Even though this was not far away from the camp, she somehow felt free.
She turned and walked on aimlessly. Even though she might be able to escape now, Mo Jingshen was still here, so she couldn’t leave.
All of a sudden, she felt a sharp pain in her s.h.i.+ns. She thought she was bitten by a snake in the thick forest and lowered her head only to find that she stumbled over the thorns.
Luckily, she wasn’t bitten by a snake.
Ji Nuan kept walking until she was farther away from the camp. Suddenly she noticed that the gra.s.s in front of her seemed to have been turned over, and the ground was not as tight as elsewhere. Her steps paused.
Was this what they call a minefield?
But then, suddenly, she heard a strange noise somewhere in the distance. It was the sound of helicopter propellers that she used to hear on TV, coming closer and closer.
A helicopter?
Was it Feng Ling and Nan Heng?
Ji Nuan’s eyes lit up, and she looked up, but the trees were too thick for her to see anything.
But she could hear the helicopter, and so could the men on patrol in the camp. Now she didn’t know what was going on in the camp. Those people shouldn’t have time to catch her, but Mo Jingshen was still there!
Ji Nuan turned abruptly and went straight back.
No sooner had she returned to the vicinity of the camp, she noticed that all the men on patrol and on duty were awake. The camp was more heavily guarded than it had been during the day, and suddenly more men were patrolling and keeping watch.
When Ji Nuan went back, the old woman just came out in a hurry to look for her. Seeing her come back, the old woman asked her a lot of questions in gibberish.
With an innocent look on her face, Ji Nuan pointed in the direction she had gone before, where the old woman had taken her to pee. Remembering that she drank a lot of water before she went to bed at night, the old woman nodded. She pulled Ji Nuan quickly back to the cabin, to protect her from those men.
The camp was fretting all night. The helicopter was heard once and then suddenly stopped. However, an hour later, the sound of the helicopter approached again. As everyone got up and prepared for the airdrop, the sound faded away again.
All the people in the camp stayed up all night until dawn and were on high alert, but after watching all night, they didn’t see any helicopters actually coming in.
Aqib was a very cunning and prudent person, and his people were all fierce bandits who were all muscular and ferocious.
But even if they were tough, they were still human and had to rest.
They knew that the intruders were deliberately interrupting their rests so as not to give them time to rest, as they scouted the dense forest every time the helicopter approached, but they could only hold on. These people were in very good physical condition, so a night without sleep wouldn’t trouble them too much.
But after being played like this again and again, some people inevitably got bored. After being “teased” by the helicopter several times, a small number of people didn’t move but just sat still with their eyes closed when they heard the sound again.
However, their enemies in this operation were XI base and Mo Jingshen. Even if they were bored, they didn’t dare take it lightly.
When Ji Nuan got up in the morning, she followed the old woman to bring food to these men as usual and walked behind her while they were eating. Dali didn’t follow her this time. Because of what had happened in Mo Jingshen’s cabin yesterday, Dali didn’t doubt her for now.
Therefore, Ji Nuan took the opportunity of bringing Mo Jingshen food and went alone to the cabin in the depth of the camp.
After seeing her, the people on duty outside the cabin knew she was here to bring food to Mo Jingshen, so they opened the door, impatiently urging her to hurry up and not dawdle. Ji Nuan nodded and hurried in.
