When Mu Heng and Lu Ming rushed into the wooden house, it was already empty.
“They have left for some time already. There’s still the stove to brew the medicine. It’s cold,” Mu Heng said with an ugly expression.
Lu Ming checked his surroundings but did not find anything. At the moment, they did not know which power of the other came to kidnap her.
Lu Ming turned around and asked the locals who had been leading the way for them, “Is there no other exit on this mountain?
That person thought for a moment and said, “There’s only one main road. As for the small paths in the deep forest, there are quite a number of them.
However, they’re all used for hunting animals.”
Lu Ming looked at Mu Heng with a dark expression and said, “Let’s split up and chase them. If there’s any news, don’t act rashly. Contact them first and wait for the main force to gather to avoid alerting the enemy.”
A local shook his head and said, “We won’t be able to contact anyone once we enter. There’s no signal here. It’s all over the mountains. We won’t be able to contact anyone once we enter.”
Mu Heng and Lu Ming frowned at the same time. Then, they picked up their phones and saw that there was no signal on the signal bar.
Lu Ming turned to Shen Yu and said, “Go back and get our newly developed military communicator. President Mu and I will go in and look for her first.
We’ll make marks along the way. Bring someone over when the time comes.” Shen Yu nodded with a solemn expression and turned to carry it out.
Then, Lu Ming and Mu Heng looked at each other and set off into the deep forest.
The two teams arrived at the first fork. On one side was a small path that had been trampled on, and on the other side was only a small path with slight traces of being stepped on.
Lu Ming and Mu Heng looked at each other and moved in different directions.
They didn’t know how many people the other party had or if they had a way to hide. For Lin Yin’s safety, they felt that this was the safest way. They wouldn’t let go of a situation that put Lin Yin in danger, so they wouldn’t let go of every path.
Lu Ming led his men for a long distance. It was not until the sky darkened and the forest darkened that they saw the girl lying on the ground with the flashlight in their hands.
Lu Ming quickly asked the wandering doctor who had followed him to come forward to treat him. The wandering doctor frowned slightly and said, “She was poisoned by the snake poison, but she has begun to slowly detoxify it. Her life is not in danger. It’s just that this leg…”
The doctor paused for a moment. Everyone’s gaze landed on the girl’s legs which were already purple-black. Her legs were a stark contrast. One was slender and fair, and the other was as swollen as a steamed bun.
The doctor continued, “This leg will take a while to recover.”
Lu Ming thought something was wrong and asked impatiently, “Can she wake up now?”
Lu Ming felt that it was possible that this girl was with Lin Yin and the others, so he was hopeful that when the girl woke up, she might be able to obtain some news about Lin Yin and the others.
The folk doctor nodded and said, “I have an idea.”
As he spoke, Doctor You took out a bottle of unknown liquid from his dirty cloth bag and placed it under the girl’s nose.
An unpleasant and pungent smell instantly filled the air, and soon the girl was woken up by the choking.
Before she could open her eyes fully, Lu Ming squatted down and asked anxiously, “Have you seen a very good-looking girl in a black top and black pants?”
The girl slowly woke up and her gaze landed on Lu Ming’s anxious face. Then, she suddenly went forward and hugged Lu Ming tightly. She cried, “Brother Lu Ming, is that you? Are you here to save me?”
Lu Ming almost trembled and pushed the unfamiliar girl away. He asked in confusion, “You know me?”
The girl cried. “Brother Lu Ming, I’m Mu Ning. We’ve met before. I’m the fourth daughter of the Mu Family, Mu Ning. Mu Heng is my brother!”
Lu Ming carefully identified the girl, but he still could not remember. He had never heard that Mu Heng had a younger sister that was so old.
Anxious about Lin Yin’s whereabouts, he nodded vaguely and continued to ask,
“Did you see a girl about your age in a black top and black pants just now?”
Mu Ning recalled that the only girl in her memory who was wearing a black shirt and black pants seemed to be Lin Yin, who had abandoned her just now.
Mu Ning’s eyes darkened slightly before she said, “Are you talking about Lin Yin?”
