Chapter 513: Chapter 513: The Early Bird Catches the Worm
Huang Xiaolong and Ji Yianxue and others returned to the villa.
After lunch, Huang Xiaolong, absorbed in thought, went back to his bedroom to continue sleeping and didn’t attend to the map.
Ouyang Lingling sat in front of Huang Xiaolong’s computer, working ticulously.
After the two maps were pieced together, multiple satellite maps kept flashing on the computer display.
It seed that Ouyang Lingling was not only a young martial arts Grandmaster, but also proficient in computing.
Besides, her survival skills in the wilderness, surveillance and counter-surveillance abilities, firearms, explosives… she had so knowledge in many fields.
She was not rely a martial arts Grandmaster, she was on par with the global standard.
Finally, Ouyang Lingling with a “click”, pressed the Enter key on the computer, and a precise coordinate appeared on a satellite map on the computer display.
“Miss, Mr. Xia, I’ve found it! It should be in a mountain region that borders Binhai City and the neighboring city. I’ve checked, there are a few villages in this mountain region. According to the map, the person we are looking for, your biological mother, Miss, is in one of those villages,” Ouyang Lingling confidently declared.
Ji Yianxue and Xia Jian were both attentively gazing at the coordinates on the computer display.
“How long will it take to drive there from here?” Xia Jian asked gravely.
“At most 3, 4 hours. However, the mountains might not have direct roads. We might need to walk into the villages to find her,” replied Ouyang Lingling, “When should we leave, Miss?”
Ji Yianxue’s eyes rolled around swiftly and said, “The sooner, the better! After all, all our actions are under our enemies’ control. I’m worried that the enemy, too, has the complete map and could get to my mother before us.”
At this point, a deep worry passed through Ji Yianxue’s eyes, “I…I’m afraid they might harm my mother! No! Let’s leave imdiately!”
Although she had never t her biological mother, blood is thicker than water, Ji Yianxue didn’t want any accidents to leave lifelong regrets.
“Alright, Miss, there’s no ti to lose. I’ll inform Mr. Huang now and will set off imdiately!” Xia Jian said with a stern expression, and turned to go downstairs to the room where Huang Xiaolong was staying to knock on the door.
Just as Huang Xiaolong had woken up, Cui Feiyan called to pursue him further, coyly expressing her longing and tenderly inviting Huang Xiaolong for dinner and a movie.
Hearing the knock on the door, Huang Xiaolong ended his simring phone call with Cui Feiyan and got up to open the door.
Xia Jian explained the situation.
Huang Xiaolong simply laughed and said, “Then, we should set off.”
Imdiately, the four quickly packed up and jumped in Huang Xiaolong’s BYD F3, heading towards their destination.
About three hours later, their car entered the rolling mountains.
The road began to get difficult to drive.
The performance of the BYD F3 wasn’t that good, and the ride was bumpy in the mountains, but thanks to Huang Xiaolong’s superb driving skills, he managed.
However, the scenery beca more and more appealing as they went deeper into the mountains.
Under the rays of the sun, the mountains in the distance looked like they had been washed, looking vividly lush. Beautiful flowers and an assortnt of plants filled the landscapes on both sides of the road, with butterflies fluttering around, leaving them srized.
Ji Yianxue, Xia Jian, and Ouyang Lingling, who had been living in the steel jungle, completely indulged in such natural scenery. Breathing the mountain air was especially satisfying, and the pressure built up in their hearts seed to diminish a lot.
Huang Xiaolong, however, didn’t seem to be affected. He grew up in the mountains after all, and his hotown was even more primitive and the scenery more spectacular than these hills.
“Miss Ji, who would have thought your birth mother resides deep in the hardly accessible mountainous region. Hmm, she truly is a recluse,” Huang Xiaolong joked casually.
Maybe because she was about to et her birth mother soon, Ji Yianxue was extrely nervous and couldn’t even speak.
‘This poor girl, grew so big, yet she hasn’t even seen her birth mother. Haha, how ironic that even though she’s extrely wealthy and adored by many, she might not necessarily be happy,’ Huang Xiaolong contemplated with a hint of sympathy in his heart.
While Huang Xiaolong drove, Ouyang Lingling, with the satellite map, guided the way.
Finally!
The car reached its limit!
That is to say, there are no further paths ahead for the car to drive on!
Huang Xiaolong and the others, all dismounted from the vehicle.
Ahead was a narrow mountain path.
Interestingly enough, there was a wooden sign with a few large characters written in brush strokes— “Enter Dragon Village via this path”.
Beside the sign at the mountain entrance, a large thatched hut ca into view. Outside the hut, there were several dicinal fields planted with unique herbs. When the wind blew, the fragrance of the herbs hit your nostrils, making one feel refreshed and invigorated.
Outside the hut, there was an old man sitting on a Taishi Chair. He was probably between his sixties to seventies, wearing simple clothes, leisurely crossing his legs, and fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.
At the foot of the old man, a large black dog was snoozing with its eyes closed.
Suddenly!
At the end of the mountain path, several off-road vehicles were parked!
Each one of them were luxury cars, like BMWs!
At this mont, around a dozen n had gathered in front of the thatched hut. It appeared that they were negotiating with the old man. From ti to ti, the old man shook his head.
“Damn! Soone got here before us!” Xia Jian’s voice trembled, his face turned serious!
“Oh… It’s okay, let’s go up and have a look.” Huang Xiaolong said with a faint smile.
Then, Huang Xiaolong, Ji Yanxue, Ouyang Lingling, and Xia Jian walked towards the hut.
Upon getting closer, Ji Yanxue abruptly shouted in a harsh tone. “Wen Bin! It’s you!”
Hearing her words, a man in his twenties, dressed in Versace and with a handso face, turned around. He squinted his eyes and stared at Ji Yanxue. A gleam of greed flashed in his eyes. “Yo… Miss Ji, the Thousand Hand Fox Demon Miss Ji, what brings you to such a desolate place?”
“Wen Bin! So it was you! The serial murder targeting was set up by you all, wasn’t it? Such a vicious trap laid by Mo Shaofeng.” Ji Yanxue gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with deep-seated hatred!
Xia Jian and Ouyang Lingling too wore hostile expressions, each taking a step forward.
As Ouyang Lingling passed by Huang Xiaolong, she whispered, “Wen Bin is one of Mo Shaofeng’s trusted aides.”
Because she spoke so close to him, Ouyang Lingling’s breath was like orchids, exhaling on Huang Xiaolong’s face, giving off an indescribable sweet pleasure. The fragrance of a maiden was indeed refreshing!
Huang Xiaolong just nodded his head.
Mo Shaofeng’s man, who got there first!
It seems that the chaos in the morgue of the First People’s Hospital was most likely caused by Mo Shaofeng’s people, so they got half of the map engraved on Su Jing’s corpse.
Perhaps Mo Shaofeng has long known about the half of the map in Ji Yanxue’s possession; hence, by piecing together a complete map, he arrived here a step ahead.
However, Huang Xiaolong noted that among the dozen n accompanying this “Wen Bin”, none of them were Taoists.
But there were indeed three master martial artists with cultivation levels comparable to Xia Jian. All of them had condensed 5 strands of True Qi within their bodies.
It seems that Mo Shaofeng’s n also ca well-prepared. Their clear aim – to find Ji Yanxue’s biological mother before she does and then…
Exterminate her!!!!
With Ji Yanxue’s father being decrepit, if her biological mother is also eliminated, then she will be utterly helpless, becoming a rootless duckweed, at the rcy of others!
Seeing Xia Jian and Ouyang Lingling take a step forward with such ferocity, the three martial master artists by Wen Bin’s side also stepped up, smirking sinisterly.
“Haha, well, old Xia, wanna have a little match?” A bald man as sturdy as a python stared at Xia Jian with a playful grin. The man was not very tall but had a strong build. As he walked, his muscles tightened, bouncing, and making a frightening sound like the launch of an arrow, exuding a terrifying aura like a tiger descending the mountain, seemingly ready to choose a prey to devour. The 5 strands of True Qi within him began to rotate rapidly!
“Haha, Miss Ji, seems you don’t have enough people. The helmswoman of the mighty Ji Corporation, Miss Ji, only brought a few stray cats and dogs on this long journey. What will you do if you encounter any danger? How will you resist it?” Another man beside Wen Bin whistled and mocked. “Miss Ji, you should be careful. If you die here in the middle of nowhere, no one will even know about it~~~”
The atmosphere suddenly beca tense, like drawn swords ready to strike! The air was filled with the scent of gunpowder!
