Chapter 40 Oops, I accidentally fell into a trap
  "And you can tell by the accent—"

Gu Zhi smiled faintly: "I came here to find my relatives."

But in his heart, he classified the landlady as a suspect.

Seeing that she was so busy, the landlady's eyes flashed slightly, and she made a gesture to her husband while she was turning her head.

All this happened silently, no one noticed at all.

But who is Gu Zhi?
  She observed every move of the landlady, and once again confirmed in her heart that there must be something wrong with her.

Pretending to be casual, Gu Zhi said with a sad look on his face: "He didn't even give me an address. He just told me to look for him here. How can I find him in such a big place?"

Upon hearing this, the landlady's face lit up with enthusiasm, she handed the noodles to her, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, the person living next door to us is in charge of the population registration in this area. Sister, you can go and ask him later - —”

Glancing at the building next door that seemed to be a business hall, Gu Zhi looked surprised: "Really? Thank you so much!"

The old lady snorted and waved her hand: "What's the matter-"

Afterwards, Gu Zhi paid for the noodles, but in the bowl, not to mention the noodles, even the soup was missing.

The landlady squinted her eyes and glanced vaguely at the neighbor next door, then she continued to wash and prepare for business as if nothing had happened.

Entered the open door of the store next door.

The room was dark, and Gu Zhi remained on high alert.

There was the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground, and then the lights turned on.

A warm yellow halo illuminated Gu Zhi's eyes.

A man wearing a leather jacket, brown suit pants, and a pair of brown pointed leather shoes appeared in front of her with an expressionless face.

"who are you?"

His voice was low but full of anger.

Gu Zhi did not move, and stood there with an imperceptible vigilance on his eyebrows: "I was introduced by the boss lady next door. She said that you are in charge of this population. I want to find someone-"

The man in the leather jacket moved his eyebrows, and there was some emotion in his eyes.

He said slowly: "It turns out that everyone who comes is a guest. Let's go to the office to talk."

After saying that, Gu Zhi stepped out of the business hall door.

Gu Zhi frowned, followed his footsteps without asking anything.

After leaving the business hall, they instantly felt that the number of eyes around them was more than doubled.

He calmly restrained his aura and pretended to be an innocent ordinary person.

They walked very fast, and things around them were constantly changing.

Is it possible that this man is really some kind of cadre? So many people were watching their every move.

Glancing vaguely at the back of the man in front of her, she asked nonchalantly: "What does eldest brother do?"

The man stared intently for a long time before he answered: "Obviously."

"what?"

Gu Zhi didn't react. When she saw where she was, her expression changed.

It's a cliff.

The man turned around and smiled strangely at her.

A strange feeling suddenly occurred in Gu Zhi's heart.

Before she could think about it, she saw the person opposite took out a pistol from his arms and pointed it at her accurately.

"Go down there and meet your relatives, you bastard—"

There is a subtle hint of madness in the man's words.

Just when he was about to pull the trigger, Gu Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he gathered strength under his feet. His body, which had drank the spiritual spring, reached its limit at this moment.

Like an arrow leaving the string, the bullet grazed his cheek, leaving a trail of blood.

The man's shocked expression froze. Gu Zhi hugged his waist and pushed him hard towards the cliff. The two of them fell off the cliff together.

The feeling of weightlessness came as promised. The man gritted his teeth and turned around without letting go of the gun, wanting to shoot Gu Zhi. She had already seen his intention, and with quick eyesight, she quickly pulled the man's hand out of its socket, and grabbed the pistol along the way, with an unconscious look of fierceness on her brows.

The numbness and pain at that moment made the man's face turn pale instantly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

A cold feeling came from between his eyebrows. It was Gu Zhi who was pointing a gun at his head.

"Who do you belong to?"

she asked coldly.

The man endured the pain on his face and slowly showed a relieved smile, "Just wait and you will know——"

"What do you mean?"

Gu Zhi frowned.

As the two of them moved up and down, the vertical fall ended quickly, with the man acting as her flesh pad to secure her down.

And he himself died on the spot.

Gu Zhi felt dizzy from the impact, and felt like her whole body was about to fall apart. Fortunately, with the spiritual spring water, she was not seriously injured.

It's just that the man who wanted to kill her in the first place is dead.

Gu Zhi slowly got off him and lowered his eyes.

Right next to the two of them is an unnamed river with considerable depth.

Sighing, Gu Zhi turned over his body. The pockets of his trousers were sealed, as was his jacket. However, when she touched the mezzanine in her arms, her hand paused.

A wallet slowly appeared in front of her eyes.

She flipped through her purse, and a button and a photo caught her attention.

The buttons had been rubbed for a long time and had faded.

The style is different from now. The gold edging was once popular among the aristocrats.

The photo was gray and white. The woman on it had bright eyes and white teeth, smiling happily and leaning against the man. Unfortunately, it was half torn off, and only the man's remaining arm could be seen.

There is also a piece of paper in the wallet, which seems to have been put in just a short time ago. The paper is hard and the handwriting is clear.

It says: "——, after I finish this time, I will listen to you and won't do it."

I can't see clearly what the front part says, but I can make out the last line clearly.

Don't you want to do it this time?
  Gu Zhi's heart sank slightly. If her guess was correct, it should be this large-scale kidnapping case.

Looking at the man's relieved smile, Gu Zhi took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Maybe he couldn't help it either.

She took away the photos and buttons and returned the wallet to its place.

Turning around and looking at the man's body again, Gu Zhi secretly sighed that he was half her savior.

Then he stopped hesitating and walked towards the woods.

It was really unlucky to fall off the cliff. How should we get back?
  *
  When she just fell down, she vaguely saw a wisp of smoke floating in the forest.

The situation was so urgent that she couldn't think too much about it. Looking back now, there might be someone else in the woods.

Relying on his memory, Gu Zhi started walking towards the place where the smoke was floating.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, when passing a piece of grass, Gu Zhi's feet sank and his heart skipped a beat. Then he fell down and hit something on the back of his head. His vision went dark and he fainted.

All this happened so suddenly and quietly, no one knew about it except the flying birds.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a rustle in the grass, and then Jiang Xiujin, dressed in camouflage, slowly walked out.

He was wearing a green military engineer's hat, with camouflage on his face, a telescope hanging around his neck, and a gun behind his back, looking for traps with a serious look on his face.

When he saw that the trap was not an animal but a human being, he was startled.

Especially when I saw that familiar face, I felt a storm in my heart.

Gu Zhi? !
