In the mountains of the northern suburbs, the night was getting darker, and the rain was getting heavier.
The initial drizzling rain had now become a pouring rain.
Everything in the mountain was drenched in rain. The trails Fade Chen had been tracking were being washed off and nowhere in sight due to the heavy pouring rain.
Fade Chen looked up at the inky night, and then looked down at the intersection ahead, he was a little anxious. He had lost track of the trail and now he couldn't tell which route the kidnapper had taken Jordan Qi to.
For a moment, Fade Chen felt irritated and his eyes burned with anger.
Suddenly, a loud scream rang into the rainy night, Fade Chen jumped. Once he confirmed the direction of the sound, he immediately rushed to the road on the left.
The heavy rain didn't affect Fade Chen's speed. Instead, the sound of the rain helped Fade Chen muffled his movement.
After walking along the road for about 20
minutes, Fade Chen suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes. Between the two big trees in front of him, a wooden house came into sight. He could see the lights inside the wooden house flickering.
"Here!" Fade Chen's heart raced and he trod more carefully. He slowly approached the wooden house.
The sound of the rain and thunders had completely muffled Fade Chen's movement. In front of the wooden house stood a man in his early twenties, holding a flashlight in his hand, vigilantly scanning the situation on the road. It seemed that he was on guard.
Worrying about Jordan Qi's safety, Fade Chen chose not to charge directly, but sneaked to the back of the wooden house quietly.
There were no windows on the back of the house, but the wooden house in the mountain was obviously left in a dilapidated state for a long time. There were a lot of finger- sized cracks on the wooden board. When Fade Chen approached, he could see the situation inside clearly.
On the left side of the door was a broken wooden bed, and on the right was a pile of wood and other tools. Besides the woodpile was a stove made of a simple iron bucket. This house seemed to be the shelter for forest ranger who occasionally came to rest.
At this moment, a lot of wood was added to the stove and it was burning fiercely. Two men in their thirties were sitting around the stove.
In the distance, there was a thin figure all tied up with hemp rope on the broken wooden bed. He was lying sideways on the wooden bed. Although Fade couldn't see his face clearly, judging from his figure, he should be Jordan Qi.
At this time, a man who was building fire on the stove turned his head and looked at the direction of the wooden bed. He said, "Jordan Qi, I know you are the director of the Life Elixir Wine workshop. Tell us the formula of the wine and we will release you immediately. The two million yuan cash we have promised you will be yours. How about that?"
Jordan Qi, who was lying on the bed, grunted and shifted his body. Then he said in a hoarse voice, "Not to mention the fact that I don't have the formula. Even if I do, you won't get the formula from me. I won't betray Fade Chen. He is my friend."
"Friend?" The man laughed derisively. "Jordan Qi, Fade Chen is Quin Lin's husband. His net worth is more than a billion yuan. He doesn't even care about that small workshop. Do you think it's worthy for you to lose your life because of this few millions?"
Jordan Qi was silent for a while and then he continued, "No matter what you say, I don't have the formula you want anyway."
