Chapter Thirteen: Cold Jade

  Ge Yufeng was in Qinan at that time. He had left in a hurry that day because Xu Fan's mobile phone was out of signal, and no matter how many times he called, it couldn't get through. His intuition told him something was wrong. It had been three days since he arrived in Qinan, but he still hadn't found Xu Fan. He also went to the old woman's house, but she wasn't there either.

  Ge Yufeng's heart sank slightly, and he thought carefully. In such a short time, it was impossible for someone to be taken away. Moreover, Xu Fan was a meticulous person and shouldn't have let anyone notice anything unusual. Even if someone had noticed something, with his skills, he wouldn't have been easily caught. If someone was chasing and killing them, not to mention why they would notice him, could it be that He Yongtuo's secret had already been discovered?

  If that's really the case, it's clear that the mysterious organization has been secretly monitoring Qinan, or has been controlling the people here. The fact that two people went to find an unfamiliar old woman is indeed suspicious. Let's not think about this for now. The most important thing is that if Xu Fan and the others haven't been caught yet, or if something happened that made him have to leave, it's impossible that there wouldn't be any clues. One person might not be a big problem, but with an old woman, it's dangerous!

  He decided to go back to the hut once again, even if it was an adventure, but he had to be more careful, and night was the best time.

  The night was quiet, and the fragrance of the Lishui tree was emitted between midnight and 7 am. Ge Yu Feng had been waiting in the field next to the small hut until about 2 o'clock, when the surroundings were still silent, and the fragrance of the Lishui flower gradually spread here. Ge Yu Feng quickly flashed into the small hut, black as coal, relying on his eyes to scan around, checking if there was any place that had been missed. But this house is only so big, everything that can be found has been found, but still no clues have been found. Could it be that someone erased them?

  Ge Yu's face was heavy, his eyes rolling in deep thought in the darkness. The roads around here were all empty, where could he hide? Suddenly, he flashed to the small window and gently opened the wooden board. The flower source tree emitted a pure and dazzling golden white light, with red dots scattered on the rice grains, extremely beautiful. However, this tree did not grow on land, but floated on the sea, suspended in mid-air, how unbelievable! How could the buoyancy of water support a tree? This was not an illusion or madness, but reality.

  It's astonishing that the island is in the middle of the sea, yet this small house is at the end of the road. In other words, its back should be facing the vast ocean, but from the front, neither side shows any sign of the sea, nor even a hint of the smell of seawater.

  Moreover, the window in the small house is on the left side, from the outside it should be on the right hand side, this is completely unreasonable! Can't make sense at all! Suddenly he lowered his face and walked to the door, listening with his ear sideways, a group of people came!

  "Bang!" The door was kicked open, and more than a dozen black-clad men with covered faces rushed in, led by their leader. A woman standing beside him coldly said, "He's just left, go after him!"

  He made a gesture and the others wanted to chase after, but the man in charge made a stopping gesture and said in a low voice: "No need to chase, it's just an ant, no hurry."

  The woman in black looked at him with an air of indifference and said worriedly: "He might be in cahoots with that runaway, that old hag..."

  The man in black snorted and said, "They can't escape, let alone with a burden that's almost dead!"

  "But how did they disappear?" The man narrowed his eyes with a dangerous gaze and ordered, "Conduct a thorough surveillance of the ports and airports, and apprehend anyone who is traveling with an elderly person! Even if we don't know how they suddenly vanished, there are only two ways to leave Jinan. Send more people to investigate who was just here!"

  If he knew that secret, he couldn't be allowed to leave Jinan alive! The woman in black thought, isn't it not pursuing him? It's really a bright and upright reversal, what's called a dark night, it's called a bright night!

  The man seemed to know what she was thinking, and gave her a cold glance. "Let's go, it's unbelievable that someone who knew about that matter has lived for so many years! We must catch them! There are no clues here, let's burn it down." Afterwards, the black-clad men gradually disappeared into the darkness.

  Ge Yufeng walked out of the field, thinking that it was good that Xu Fan and the others had not been caught. However, when he turned to look at the small hut being engulfed in flames, he felt helpless and could only watch as it was slowly consumed by the fire. The sea, however, did not leave, and from his pocket, he pulled out a petal, which proved to be useful, thanks to which they had not been discovered.

  Just as he was about to leave, his eyes caught a glimpse of a faint red glow flashing inside the house. Then, flames spread along both sides and instantly went out in the middle, but the small red house didn't have any signs of being burned at all, instead it became even brighter and cleaner! Ge Yu Feng's heart was full of confusion, how many secrets were still hidden here, what secret was being guarded by that group of black-clothed people, where did that tree and that sea come from.

  In the woods, Xu Fan supported his old wife with a pale face and dusty head. They had been walking for a long time. Xu Fan said, "Old lady, take a rest for a while. It will take them at least half an hour to catch up."

  "No, no, they're too powerful, they're not ordinary people at all, we can't escape! No, they're demons, I won't stop, I know their secret, they'll definitely kill me to silence me!"

  Xu Fan comforted her by saying: "Alright, let's not rest, we'll continue walking."

  Just as I was about to help her walk, the old woman's body began to tremble uncontrollably, and her eyes were filled with fear. She muttered: "They've come, they've come, they're going to kill me!"

  Xu Fan's heart skipped a beat, he had seen those black-clad men before, more than a dozen people holding guns appeared silently and noiselessly, if not for his quick reaction, he would have been shot into a beehive!

  "Grandma, don't be afraid, I'll keep you safe, how much further is it from the harbor?"

  He Yongtao came back to her senses and said: "Not far, probably still need to walk for ten minutes, but it's too late." Her voice couldn't stop trembling.

  "Alright, grandma, I'll carry you on my back. Let's hurry." Saying that, he squatted down and carried the person on his back, quickly running off.

  He suddenly felt danger behind him, his body flashed to the side, and a sharp "hiss" sound passed through his original position. It was a bullet. Xu Fan quickly accelerated his speed, and he could already see the port. Suddenly, Xu Fan stopped, his expression serious and solemn. In front of him was a man in black clothes, who was clearly at a disadvantage.

  "Put her down! I'll let you go!" A cold woman's voice entered his ears, Xu Fan sneered, this was the killer's favorite phrase, mouth said: "Why should I believe you."

  In his heart, he quickly thought of a way to escape. He had lost his phone and didn't know when it happened, and couldn't contact anyone either. What was he supposed to do? The woman said impatiently, "Don't have no choice, don't exhaust your brain with useless struggles. There's a boat right behind you, all within your grasp."

  Xu Fan was about to pull out his gun for a final showdown, but he knew in his heart that there were probably only four or five bullets left, and he had to take a gamble! The corner of his eye caught sight of someone behind the woman, and he immediately changed his mind. Looking at the woman, he hesitated for a moment before revealing a resolute expression, and said with difficulty: "Alright, I'll hand her over to you, just let me go!"

  The woman walked towards him, within five steps of distance. Xufan suddenly glanced behind her, and the woman's eyes flashed with mockery, trying to shift her attention. Don't underestimate her! Xufan abruptly pulled out his gun, and the woman's face turned cold as she prepared to shoot him. "Don't move." Ge Yifeng stood behind her, gun in hand, his voice cold and commanding.

  The woman suddenly stopped her movements and asked: "What do you want?"

  Xu Fan picked up her gun and looked at the person who suddenly appeared here, asking: "What now?"

  Ge Yufeng let the woman follow them. If she wanted to escape, he would directly kill her and said: "I have prepared a boat below, take your mother-in-law and leave!"

  Today the weather is even more humid, I'm afraid it's going to rain. The four of them stood on the boat, Ge Yufeng looked at the black-clothed woman, Xu Fan sat inside taking care of the old lady, and the black-clothed woman had already removed her mask, standing at the bow of the boat, a young and beautiful face, looking like she was only around 20 years old.

  However, Ge Yufeng was not a person who would be lenient with beauties. His sharp gaze fell on her face without any surprise, and the woman's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment - someone actually wasn't surprised by her looks! Apart from those problematic organization members, this man was really interesting! He had piqued my interest.

  "What are your identities, what do you want to do, and why do you want to catch that old woman?" The police officer's questions were so direct, a string of them hitting her at once. The woman looked disdainful, asking haughtily: "Do you know why the police are police?" Ge Yu was calm and unruffled, saying quietly: "I know what experiment you're conducting."

  The woman's expression didn't change, "What does it matter!" Ge Yu Feng turned his head to look out at the sea, the light blue color had already deepened, a storm was brewing.

  "What are you looking for Blue Jade Crystal for?" The woman's eyes floated, "You know quite a lot."

  Ge Yu Feng took out handcuffs, one cuffing her right wrist and the other cuffing his own left wrist. He holstered his gun and declared, "You can't escape. No matter what your organization is planning to do, I will definitely take you all down."

  The woman's face showed interest in him, her hand hooked around his neck, hanging on him and said: "Are we now fellow sufferers, double-nested, privately run away?" A seductive smile floated on her face.

  Kui Yufeng's mind flashed with Qixue's face, thinking that if she showed this expression, he couldn't help but shudder at what would happen. Her eyes were filled with helplessness, and it wouldn't be her anymore. What had happened to make such a cold and isolated personality appear?

  The woman curiously looked at the gentleness in his eyes, anyone with a brain knew he absolutely wasn't thinking of her, but rather another woman! As long as it was something Cold Jade wanted, there was nothing she couldn't get! She tiptoed and tried to lean into his lips, but Ge Ruo Feng pushed her away and scolded: "What do you think you're doing?"

  "Ling Yu, my name." Ge Yufeng had just opened his mouth to say something when the boat suddenly lurched violently. He grasped the handrail and furrowed his brow, wondering what was happening. Ling Yu took advantage of the moment to lean into him, softly asking, "And you, what's your name?"
