When Yuan Yang heard this, he quickly nodded in agreement. He was already hungry when he first went up the mountain.
The three of them were very experienced in field training. They quickly found a place to set up the tent. Yuan Yang set up the tent and Wu Mu prepared to make some hot food. Su Qing took the binoculars from her backpack and checked the situation from a high vantage point. She realized that there were many of their classmates in this area, and there were also traces of instructors patrolling.
In that case, the instructors must have known about their huge commotion just now. Why didn’t they come out to stop them? A question arose in Su Qing’s heart, and she frowned slightly.
What she didn’t know was that Brother Yong and the others were caught by Xing Lei’s soldiers soon after they tried to escape. When Xing Lei saw the images sent back by the hidden pinhole cameras in the forest, he smiled with interest and said to Huo Qi, “Your little girlfriend is quite interesting! Her skills are probably comparable to my adjutant!”
He laughed out loud and pointed at Su Qing’s fighting posture in the video as he excitedly introduced her skills to Huo Qi. This young lady’s background was clearly not simple.
Huo Qi watched the footage with Xing Lei with a smile on his face. Back then, when he saw Su Qing and the others being surrounded, he almost wanted to rush out to protect her.
In the end, Xing Lei calmly stopped him. This matter concerned Su Qing’s results, so they could observe for a while longer before considering if they should interfere.
Huo Qi had forgotten about Su Qing’s skills because he was so concerned about her, but Xing Lei was completely astounded.
“What do you plan to do with these people?” Xing Lei asked Huo Qi as he swiped the tablet in his hand.
Huo Qi glanced at the group of people who were squatting on the ground with their guns pointed at their heads and said coldly, “Just break their legs and throw them out.”
Xing Lei nodded. “Alright! We’ll do as you say, lest these scumbags appear again in the future to harm others!”
When Brother Yong heard Huo Qi’s words, he was stunned.
What kind of big shot was Su Qing? How could she have such a powerful backer? What kind of person had he offended?
......
Brother Yong and the others couldn’t even beg for mercy when their legs were broken by the soldiers who didn’t even bother talking to them. Before they could cry out in pain, they fainted!
Huo Qi sat in Xing Lei’s tent and watched as this person repeatedly watched Su Qing’s video. He said unhappily, “Alright! Stop watching. That’s my fiancee. It won’t be appropriate for you to continue watching it!”
Xing Lei looked up at him in surprise. “Huo Qi, you weren’t like that in the past. When did you learn to be jealous?”
Huo Qi ignored his teasing and snatched the tablet from his hand, throwing it aside.
Xing Lei looked at him and smiled. After a while, he said, “I think she’s good at martial arts, so I wanted to ask her to help teach the new recruits I have.”
Huo Qi thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. He nodded and said, “Sure, quickly get someone to invite her over.” He really couldn’t bear to see Su Qing suffer in the mountains.
In the forest near seven in the evening, visibility had decreased greatly. The lush vegetation covered their heads, and it was as though the sky had already turned dark.
Su Qing’s life wasn’t as miserable as Huo Qi thought. After exploring the situation, she took the slingshot she had just captured from Brother Yong and the others and hunted two pheasants for their dinner.
As soon as night fell in the forest, the temperature began to drop. Wu Mu wrapped herself in her clothes and sat by the fire to roast the pheasant. The pheasant in the mountains had little fat content, so it was more crunchy, and it was a rare delicacy.
The three of them sat around the fire. Yuan Yang took a sip of water and asked Su Qing, “How has the Su family been treating you?”
Su Qing looked at the fire and said calmly, “Mommy and my brothers treat me very well.”
Yuan Yang was also a very smart person. When he heard this, he frowned and said, “Does that mean that your father and your adopted sister don’t treat you well?”
Su Qing thought about Su Zheng and nodded slowly. “I don’t care about the two of them. I have my mother and brothers. That’s enough.”
The night breeze brushed past Su Qing’s forehead. Under the firelight, her beautiful and exquisite face seemed to be bathed in a layer of holy light, and she was so beautiful that she didn’t seem like a mortal.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded in the forest. Su Qing was the first to notice it. She reached out to press the dagger at her waist and looked warily at the source of the sound.
It was possible that wild beasts might appear at Mt. Qimin at night.
