Chapter Eighty-Seven: Death Game (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  "Be a man, be more low-key, be more down-to-earth. You say you don't have any plan, what are you doing here? You're like me, I came here after scouting out the terrain. How's that, did it hurt when you fell? Quickly grab the rope and come up, can't move, is something broken?"

  Zhang Shidong was like a toad that nobody liked, constantly saying things that made people feel disgusted. Cao Bide pushed him away and stood on the cliff: "Dongzhe, are you okay?"

  Jiang Yongnian gave Zhang Shidong a cold look, suppressing his disgusted gaze and the anger in his heart.

  Jiang Xue pulled Zhang Shidong, she had seen another side of Zhang Shidong, absolutely not a waste or an incompetent young master, but at this moment, he really made her look puzzled. Just now, she almost told her father that this was the man who would destroy the Gong family, but she also thought of the rumors about the Northern Dragon crossing the river for Mi Rou, and the jealousy hidden in her heart came up, so she didn't bother to explain. But at this moment, she really didn't understand why Zhang Shidong had to pretend to be an incompetent young master.

  "What do you mean, stop teasing me. If you don't want to, you can leave, no one is keeping you here." Jealousy was the only unbeatable move that could drive any woman crazy and lose her mind. It wasn't a big deal if she didn't think about it, but as soon as she thought about how she almost gave her body to him, while he had several other women outside, Jiang Xueyu's temper flared up. She was only like this because she had opened her heart, and if she didn't care, she wouldn't be so angry. Zhang Shidong understood and wasn't angry either. As a man, he had to learn to tolerate women's unreasonable behavior. He coaxed her while smiling apologetically and leaned in close to Jiang Xueyu, saying in a low voice: "How dare I? It's just that your parents are all infatuated with him, no matter how excellent I am, it's not enough. You don't even know about my achievements, I'm sure if I told you, your father would have kicked me out of the house long ago, and I wouldn't be able to get close to you."

  "Go die, your family only has old men and women." At this time, the woman was still unreasonable and domineering, but she could listen to words and was easily infatuated with some brainless and low-intelligence sweet talk. Jiang Xueyu was completely in this state, having lost the aura of dominating a provincial branch company, and was like a proud and spoiled little girl in her first love.

  Her behavior also made Zhang Shidong secretly helpless. In the past, taking advantage of each other could still be countered, but now it was completely unreasonable. You had to be doubly careful to serve her, coax her, lift her up, and flatter her, not daring to offend her in the slightest.

  Zhang Shidong is not a person with too much patience, but in this matter, he warned himself that if a girl dares to open her heart to you, dares to like and love you, then you must take out double or even more care, tolerance, and protection to repay her.

  "From now on, don't leave my five-meter radius." Zhang Shidong saw the beginning in front of him and secretly sighed, instructing Jiang Xueyu.

  "What's wrong, can't bear to part with it?" Jiang Xueyu said coquettishly.

  "He's dead." Zhang Shidong's abrupt sentence left Jiang Xueyu completely bewildered: "What did you say? Dead, what dead?"

  "Ahh!!!!!" The shrill scream came from the front, and people near the cliff retreated in unison, as if they had seen something that terrified them. Each step was disordered, with gasps of cold air and sounds of astonishment intertwined.

  Jiang Xueyu was curious and leaned forward to take a look, saw what Dong Cha pulled out from the waist-high grass, and exclaimed as she burrowed into Zhang Shidong's arms.

  The professional abilities of Hei Yang and An Nan were differentiated at this time. An Nan jumped down to check the body that Dong Zha had pulled out, while Hei Yang turned around and found a semi-hidden spot, pulling Jiang Yongnian to his side, with an ultra-fast reaction to pay attention to the surrounding environment, confirming what he had always thought was safe.

  Apart from the black sheep, everyone's face turned extremely ugly. Faced with the sudden change, they exceeded their limit of endurance. Subconsciously, they took out their mobile phones to call for help, but found that there was no signal.

  "The signal has been blocked." The black sheep replied without thinking.

  At this time, the basic quality of each person was revealed. Jiang Yongnian and Cao Bide were both seasoned veterans who could remain calm in the face of danger. Anan and Dong Zha were both stained with blood on their hands. Jiang Xueyu subconsciously believed that Zhang Shidong could protect her. Du Yuan forced himself to calm down and not show fear, and with Zhang Shidong as a comparison, he seemed even stronger. Only Cao Bide's sidekicks, Old Fourth and Little Star Hou Ya, looked very panicked. Old Fourth was slightly better, having followed Cao Bide for many years, with a strong sense of belonging, and after the initial panic, thought about protecting his boss. Hou Ya trembled all over, looking at Cao Bide wanting to rush over, but was intimidated by his cold face, standing there pitifully.

  Dong Zha and Anan retreated to take charge of the sentry, Jiang Yongnian nodded at Hei Yang, who jumped down from the cliff and squatted beside the corpse, looking at it for over a minute before solemnly making his way back up using the uneven rocks embedded in the mountain.

  "Died no more than a day ago, with calluses on his hands and a sturdy build. Judging from the clothes, he should be one of the island's security personnel."

  "Shall we retreat?" Cao Pi took a deep breath:

  Jiang Yongnian turned his head towards Hei Yang: "What's your opinion?"

  The black sheep looked around, his gaze stopped on Old Four without any hesitation: "We need one person, we can't split up. Go to the landing point and take a look. If this isn't an accident, the observer will be in danger."

  Cao Pi De looked at Lao Si.

  Lao Si nodded: "Boss, I'll go."

  Cao Piet tapped Old Fourth's shoulder: "After we get back, I'll give you a small company. If you really encounter danger, I, Cao Piet, will ensure that your whole family lives a life of prosperity and wealth for generations to come."

  Lao Si smiled and put down his luggage, holding a long dagger and walking back along the way he came.

  Hei Yang pulled out a real gun from his bosom and tossed it to Anan: "Be careful."

  Anan nodded, at this time the most tense were these bodyguards, they were in danger, what they had to do was protect everyone while trying to eliminate the danger as much as possible.

  The black sheep nodded at Jiang Yongnian and disappeared into the forest. Dong looked around and signaled everyone to move under the broken rock, Anan stood guard on top of the rock with a gun, while he held an axe to tidy up the area under the rock, Du Yuan, Jiang Yongnian and Cao Bide all helped to clear out a temporary shelter.

  "Alright, stop dawdling around here, take this and help out." Jiang Yongnian couldn't bear to look at Zhang Shidong's slovenly appearance, which was unlike that of a real man. He couldn't help but scold him a few times, tossing a shovel in front of him, telling him to follow along and clear the weeds together.

  Dong Cha dragged the body to a distant place, and Zhang Shidong had just squatted down to pick up the engineer's shovel when a chaotic burst of gunfire broke out in the distance. Two distinctly different gunshots could be heard, apparently someone had panicked and used a replica gun as a defensive weapon.

  "Ah!" Hou Ya shrieked, and with a slap, Cao Bi gave her a slap on the face: "Shut up!"

  Jiang Xueyu grasped her father's arm, making an effort to keep herself calm. The temperament cultivated from years of working in the corporate world dominated her fearful psychology. Seeing Hou Ya's flustered and disheveled appearance, she calmed down and took a step forward to the side, blocking off the area to the left front of Jiang Yongnian.

  "Hey Pete, I'm not so old that I need you to protect me yet, but it seems like us two old bones are going to have to get in on the action too."

  Cao Pi's tongue tip licked his dry lower lip: "What is planned is not small, the ambition is not small."

  Jiang Yongnian sneered: "Being able to sneak into Old Huang's territory without making a sound is pretty good."

  Cao Peter looked at him hesitantly: "Don't you suspect Old Huang?"

  Jiang Yong said calmly: "If it's really Old Huang, we won't be able to leave."

  As the master of the island, setting up a killing field is indeed unsolvable. Rather than considering unsolvable things, it's better to choose to believe in Old Huang. At least this way, there will be a clear direction in the upcoming struggle. The boss who controls a billion-dollar company will not hesitate or waste time when faced with a crossroads, and will resolutely move forward, taking the lesser of two evils.

  After a burst of gunfire, the island returned to calmness. Every team had distress signal flares in hand, but none of them fired. Jiang Yongnian's team didn't even consider this matter. According to Hei Yang's analysis, with his and Anan and Dong Zha's strength, the opponent would definitely not be able to follow them. If they had the ability to track without being discovered, they wouldn't need to make such an effort. They could just come over and start killing. Therefore, firing signal flares might expose their own position. On an island with more than one team, making oneself a target was not something that could be done.

  It was this choice that made Zhang Shidong, who had always been watching from the sidelines, shake his head secretly. By doing the opposite, he grasped the psychology of you rich people precisely. The power of one chopstick is far inferior to the power of a pair of chopsticks. After years of business battles, a kind of emotion called distrust has formed. Afraid that after firing the signal flare and sending out smoke signals, what comes is not reinforcements but enemies.

  Night falls unexpectedly.

  The black sheep didn't dare to stray too far from the team, only circling around the nearby area, and didn't find anything unusual. It was precisely because there was nothing unusual that it was the most frightening. He even didn't discover the security personnel responsible for secretly patrolling the island. When he brought this news back, after taking a look at the composition of this team, he gave Jiang Yongnian a suggestion: one move is not as good as one stillness.

  When night fell, Lao Si had not returned. According to Hei Yang's words, he was more likely to be unlucky than lucky. In order to make the terrifying night pass quickly, Hei Yang became the leader of the team under the recognition of Jiang Yongnian and Cao Bide, and all arrangements were made by him.

  "Director Jiang and Director Cao will be on duty from now until 11 pm, then Anan and Mr. Du will take over until 3 am, and Dong Cha and I will be on the last shift."

  Jiang Yongnian and Cao Peter were both fierce, one holding a dagger and the other holding a gun, staring around with their eyes in the area outside the tent. Only Zhang Shidong was wandering around, walking from this side to that side, and then coming back from afar. Just as Jiang Yongnian was about to say something, he was pulled by Cao Peter, who raised his chin, and Jiang Yongnian understood what he meant.

  There is a moving target, even if the enemy comes, it can give everyone time to react.
