Confess to you, do you want to listen?

Chapter 103 Anxiety
Gu Shian disappeared without leaving any clues, as if he had gone out and never returned.

But Chen Xiao knew very well that this was not because he had gone out and failed to return.

His face was full of hostility, and he told Assistant Li Sun to take people to look for in several directions, and after Qin Tang finished calling, he stepped forward and said, "I'm not familiar with this place, please call Mr. Qin to the villa." Call and find some local villagers who are familiar with this place. Mr. Qin will go down the mountain now and lead people to block all the intersections that can go out of the mountain."

He hasn't lost his mind yet.

Qin Tang's complexion was even worse, he didn't say anything, and immediately led the people down the mountain.

They all explained in low voices, and did not release the news that Gu Shian was missing.After explaining, seeing Manager Dou standing aside, Chen Xiao said, "You take people down the mountain first."

Dou Min's complexion was not good. She sensed something was wrong, so she asked, "Will Shi'an be in danger?"

Chen Xiao took a deep puff on his cigarette and said, "Maybe."

Dou Min's face became serious, and when he was about to say something, Chen Xiao said in a low voice: "You go down the mountain first, and let them not talk about it for now. If there is anything wrong, please call me .”

He didn't say much after saying this, and left directly.

Dou Min concealed all the worries on her face, went to Xiao Wang and Xiao Xie to give them instructions, and then led them down the mountain.

Neither Chen Xiao nor his people are familiar with this mountain.Qin Tang's actions were quick, and in less than an hour, he found more than a dozen village names to act as guides for them.

Finding someone in a huge forest is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Whether it's a forest or a stone forest, it's easy to hide someone.

It rained, and the fog in the mountains became thicker and thicker, which made the search more difficult.

Qin Tang called when Chen Xiao was still leading people to search, but he didn't see anyone coming down the mountain.He even sent people to inquire around, but he didn't see any suspicious people.

But there are a lot of tourists here, and they have been prepared for their arrival, so naturally there will be no clues.

As time passed, Chen Xiao's calmness no longer existed, and he became irritable.

It was raining, and although everyone was wearing raincoats, there was a lot of dew in the mountains and forests, and their bodies were more or less wet.

Although the price Qin Tang offered was high, it was too cold to search for people in the mountains all day.When it was getting dark, the man said to Chen Xiao: "Boss, it's getting dark, and you can't see clearly in the mountains at night. Do you want to go back and come back tomorrow?"

Chen Xiao's hair and clothes were soaked, but he didn't look embarrassed.The whole person is even more sinister.He glanced at the man sullenly, until he trembled when he saw the man, then he squinted his eyes and said: "Why, the money that I hate to give is not enough?"

He didn't say much all day, because he was not familiar with the road, and he almost always did what the guide said.That person never thought that he would turn his face when he said that he would turn his back on him, so he quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "No, no, no, what you gave is enough. It's just..."

Before he could say it, Chen Xiao said with a half-smile: "Just what?"

His eyes were sharp and cold, the man didn't dare to say any more, and closed his mouth.

After a day of searching like this, everyone was already cold and hungry.Chen Xiao was clear in his heart, raised his wrist to check the time, and said, "Rest in place for 10 minutes." After he finished speaking, he looked at Assistant Sun and asked, "Is there any news from Mr. Qin?"

Assistant Sun shook his head and said, "Not yet."

The sky had gradually turned dark, and Chen Xiao knew that it was more difficult to find them at night.He was restless and said, "Call him."

Up to now, there are still no clues, which can only show that they are looking in the wrong direction.He knew that he should calm down more at this time, but he couldn't calm down at all.

Assistant Sun replied yes, dialed the phone, and then gave the phone to Chen Xiao.

Qin Tang answered the phone immediately, and immediately asked, "Do you have any clues?"

If he asked that, it proved that he didn't have any clues.

Chen Xiao's heart sank.Before he spoke, Qin Tang knew that he also had no clues.

There was a bit of fatigue in his voice, and he asked, "Has anyone called yet?"

Chen Xiao didn't answer, and after a while, he asked, "What do you think they want to do?"

His mind was in a mess right now, and he couldn't even calm down.But now, the only person standing on the same side as him is Qin Tang.

If someone calls, it's okay, but it's just asking for money.And no one called, which proved that the other party didn't want money.

Qin Tang closed his eyes, and the years appeared in his mind.But he quickly suppressed that thought, and instead of answering Chen Xiao's words, he said: "Your people stayed on the mountain all day, bring them down. I'll come here at night."

Chen Xiao's people were in the mountains all day, but Qin Tang's side was relatively relaxed.

Chen Xiao naturally knew that going on like that would not work, and the physical exertion was unbearable.He didn't refuse. He glanced at the group of people who had fallen to the ground and sat down behind him, and said yes.

The two had nothing to say, and Chen Xiao didn't say much, and hung up the phone directly.

He stood still for a while, turned around after a while, glanced at Assistant Sun, and said, "Take a break, and take everyone down the mountain." After a slight pause, he continued: "Notify the others, go down the mountain Go rest and continue tomorrow morning."

Everyone didn't know why he changed his attention, and couldn't help but look up at him.

Although he didn't reveal his relationship with Gu Shi'an, Assistant Sun revealed something vaguely.Before Assistant Sun could speak, one of them said: "No need for Mr. Chen, let the tired brothers go down to rest. Let's continue. The longer it takes..."

His voice was tired and dignified.Although the words were not finished, everyone knew what he meant.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Chen Xiao's heart sank heavily, and he said thank you after a while.

It's been a whole day, and it needs to be trimmed anyway.Chen Xiao asked people to light a fire on the spot, and took out the dry food sent by Qin Tang.

He wasn't free, so he called the guide and asked Assistant Sun to take out a pen and paper and ask him to draw a topographic map of the mountain.And explain which places are often visited by people and which places are not visited by people.

It takes two hours to go down the mountain from here without a cable car.If that person was taking Gu Shian with him, even if he took a shortcut, it would definitely take that long.Coupled with the rain and the slippery road down the mountain, it must take more than two hours.

And from discovering that Gu Shi'an was missing, to Qin and Tang's people blocking all intersections.It took about two hours. If he guessed correctly, she must have been in the mountains and hadn't been taken out.

This is a tourist area and there are many people, so it is conspicuous to take a big living person out.Therefore, the person who took Gu Shian away should not go down the mountain.Hidden in a corner of this mountain.

It is difficult to find someone on this mountain. For those who are familiar with this mountain, it is easy to hide someone.

They didn't have any clues all day long, and they didn't even see any traces. It can only mean that they are all in the wrong place.

Chen Xiao gradually calmed down, and waited for that person to roughly finish the painting, then he marked the approximate location with a pen little by little.

Several people from Assistant Sun's side worked together to light the fire, and then took out food and distributed it to everyone.

Seeing that Chen Xiao was still studying the 'map', he handed over a box of compressed biscuits and said, "Mr. Chen, you should also eat something and rest."

Chen Xiao didn't speak, and took the compressed biscuit.His body was wet and cold, so he took the 'map' and sat by the firepit.

The wood is wet when it rains, and the fire burns extremely slowly.The faint fire light slightly dispelled the cold and tiredness.

Chen Xiao finished a box of compressed biscuits without saying a word, and drank half a bottle of water.Then he said to Assistant Sun: "After eating, you will take everyone down the mountain." After a slight pause, he continued: "Thank you everyone today, I know everyone's thoughts, but everyone needs to replenish their strength."

He wanted to say something later, but none of the words came out of his throat.Someone was about to say something immediately, so he stretched out his hand to stop him, and after a little slowing down, he said, "Boss Qin's people will come up."

Now no one speaks.

Chen Xiao didn't sit by the firepit, he stood up and went to a slightly higher place to smoke.It was pitch black all around, not even a little light.

His heart was heavy, and he didn't even dare to imagine where Gu Shi'an would spend the night in this mountain in such a weather.

There were footsteps coming from behind, Chen Xiao took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand, as if he knew who it was, and said without looking back: "Call Xiao Si."

There was no expression on his face.

Assistant Sun's expression changed.He said in a low voice: "You have to think about it."

Without any hesitation, Chen Xiao hummed lightly, and then said: "Let him check if there is any news on the road."

It was as if the person had disappeared for no reason, without even leaving any clues.This shows that the person who took her away was not a novice, but a familiar criminal.

This means that [-]% of people are hired.As long as there is any rumor, Xiao Si will definitely find out.It's just...it was hard to ask him away. If you invite him this time, it will be difficult to ask him in the future.

Xiao Si has always had a big appetite, and Assistant Sun didn't even dare to imagine what requests he would make in the future.

He has been with Chen Xiao for many years, and he will not disobey Chen Xiao's order, so he immediately contacted him.

They didn't have any manpower here, and after he finished making the phone call, Chen Xiao said again: "Send someone over here, search this mountain and find someone for me."

His tone was gloomy and cold.

Assistant Sun answered yes in a low voice.After a slight pause, he said, "I'm afraid the old lady will know."

Chen Xiao didn't speak now.

Assistant Sun quickly called.Waiting for the call back, Chen Xiao asked him to take everyone down the mountain.

He himself had no intention of going down the mountain.He was haggard and exhausted, Assistant Sun was silent for a while, and said, "You also need to rest, if you fall down..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Xiao stopped him and said, "I have a sense of proportion."

Assistant Sun didn't speak anymore. He was worried about Chen Xiao staying here alone, so he told the guide to take the people down the mountain, and he stayed.

Chen Xiao also let him go, and continued looking for someone with the flashlight on.

The mountain here is wide. I searched for a whole day, but only part of it was found.Qin Tang's people came over not long after, and asked Chen Xiao to go back to rest, but he refused, took out the map drawn by the guide, pointed out a few places most likely to hide people, and asked Qin Tang to let people split up go find it.

Qin Tang immediately ordered to go down the mountain.

The time passed was long and tormented, and the sky finally brightened up while waiting.The search at night was more difficult, and the whole night passed without any progress.There are also fewer places to search than during the day.

There was no news from Xiao Si, Chen Xiao comforted himself, no news is the best news.

He didn't rest all day and night, and his eyes were already bloodshot.At dawn, under Assistant Sun's persuasion, he sat down in the fire-lit cave, leaned against the rock wall and closed his eyes.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a nightmare.

He dreamed that Gu Shi'an was looking at her in the dark with a white face, with such despair on his face.Blood came out of nowhere on her body, and it soon flowed all over the floor.

He watched from a distance, and wanted to rush over, but his body seemed to be restrained, and he couldn't move at all.

When Chen Xiao woke up from the dream, there was already cold sweat on his forehead, the cave was quiet and quiet, only the crackling sound of sparks bursting, no one was there.

His body felt a little limp, he raised his wrist to check the time, and found that it had only been ten minutes since he fell asleep.

Having had this dream, he could no longer sleep.He took out a cigarette and lit it up.For some reason, Gu Shi'an's bloody and desperate look appeared in front of his eyes again.

Chen Xiao tightly closed his eyes.He smoked a cigarette vigorously, then stood up.

No one was found all day and night, and the search team was even bigger the next day.The more there were no clues, the more silent Chen Xiao and Qin Tang were, and there was not even a voice in the team.

Almost all the surrounding places have been searched, and the only place that has not been searched is a virgin forest over there.

The forest was dense, and even in the daytime the light was dim.

It is said that the cries of ferocious beasts have been heard inside in recent years, and the local villagers who called them did not dare to go in.No matter how much money is paid, they are not willing.

Chen Xiao spent a lot of money and finally found a middle-aged man.My family is relatively poor, and my son and daughter are both in college. The prerequisite for entering is to give the money first, and ask for cash.

Chen Xiao immediately asked someone to withdraw the money.

He took the backpack from Assistant Sun and brought a sharp Swiss army knife that he didn't usually use.He didn't let anyone go in with him, he just brought the guide.

After such a commotion, Qin Tang rushed over almost immediately.Since it was dangerous inside, how could he let Chen Xiao go in alone, he had to bring someone in with him.

However, Chen Xiao stopped him, waved away the people around him, and said, "President Qin has this kindness, and I accept it. It's dangerous inside, so we don't need so many people."

After a slight pause, he smiled lightly, and then said: "If I can't come back, I have to entrust everything to Mr. Qin."

He closed his eyes as he spoke, and continued, "No matter what, we have to find her."

As if he knew that Qin Tang would definitely agree, he turned around and walked into the dense forest without waiting for his answer after saying this.

His back is decisive, Qin Tang's figure stood still for a long time.It wasn't until the people around him called him that he came back to his senses.With a hoarse voice, he ordered people to pay attention to the forest at all times.

After he finished speaking, he asked Chen Xiao how much food he had brought, and the people around him answered, but he didn't say anything more, and told Assistant Sun to report any news to him from now on.

Chen Xiao has left, and he is the only person in charge here.Assistant Sun got Chen Xiao's order, and in response, he went down and continued to search.

Qin Tang stood there by the edge of the forest, and after a while, he ordered someone to light a fire here.And let the villa call a doctor to come and wait at any time.And always have food ready.

There is something going on here, the villa has already closed down.No reservations are accepted, and guests who have already come have already made compensation and evacuated to nearby hotels.The entire villa was silent.

The trees in the forest are lush and no one has been there for a long time. Weeds and thorns have blocked the original road, making it extremely difficult to walk.

Fortunately, this guide is reliable, with a hook and knife, he cut a road in the forest.

The forest is gloomy, like a monster with its bloody mouth wide open, ready to swallow anyone who enters in one gulp.

The guide originally wanted to say something to ease the gloomy atmosphere, but seeing that Chen Xiao was silent, he finally didn't dare to speak.

The two of them walked all the way, and the thorns drew blood on Chen Xiao's hands, but he didn't seem to notice it.

Originally thought that the more you go in, the more thorns will be.Who knew it wasn't, after walking for about [-] minutes, they reached the densest part of the forest, and the thorns inside became less.It's just that the light has been completely blocked by the trees, making it even more gloomy and dim.

It took a lot of physical strength for the two of them to walk all the way, and at this point the guide asked for a rest.

Chen Xiao didn't say a word, and handed him a bottle of water.He himself sat down against a tree.

It is said that there are beasts here, but after walking so far, it is quiet and there is no sound.

The guide was probably afraid in his heart, and he murmured and worshiped the great gods of all parties all the way.Chen Xiao did not interrupt him.

He didn't want to go in, so he looked around and said, "Boss, look at the way here, no one should have come in. We have walked so far and found no trace of anyone coming in."

Chen Xiao didn't speak, and after a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "You think a person can survive a few days of hunger."

He said it with difficulty, as if it was stuck in his throat.Every time I utter a word, it takes so much effort.

Doesn't it mean that the body has limits.There is always danger in the mountains.For every minute you stay, the danger increases by one point.He didn't even dare to imagine what Gu Shian was like now.

The guide was stunned for a moment and didn't speak again.

People who are not close relatives will never be able to experience the pain of being lost.

He didn't know what he thought of, and fell silent.After a while, he said: "You gave me money, and my life is yours. Without you, my son and daughter would not be able to finish their studies, let alone get ahead. You have the final say, as long as you want to go to Go inside, and I will lead you wherever you go."

His tone was sincere.Chen Xiao said thank you in a low voice.

After waiting for something to eat, the two stood up and continued walking inside.

The forest here is a bit strange. Once inside, even the sound of birds is gone.It was eerie and terrifying, as if an unknown beast would come out at any moment.

During the rest, I drank half a bottle of water, and after walking so far, the guide said: "Wait for me, I will go over there for convenience."

Chen Xiao nodded, he wanted to light a cigarette and start smoking.But the woods were dense, so I was afraid of causing a fire, so I took the cigarette box back when I touched it.

After standing there for 2 minutes, I suddenly heard the guide shout: "Boss, come quickly."

Chen Xiao turned around and jumped over almost immediately.

The guide squatted beside a bush of unknown plants, looking at something.

When Chen Xiao went over, he said, "Look, here should be a footprint."

No, although it is superficial, it can be seen that the leaves have been stepped on.

Chen Xiao immediately squatted down and slowly looked around.

The leaves of this forest are densely packed, and the footprints are so shallow that they can hardly be seen.It wasn't until I saw a weed being trampled to the ground that I was sure that someone had come here.

The broken marks of the weeds are still fresh, which means that someone passed by here not long ago.

Chen Xiao immediately took out his mobile phone to call Assistant Sun, but the woods were dense and there was no signal at all.He didn't care too much, and walked along the footprints with the guide.

Those footprints come and go, and it is extremely strenuous to follow.

Since someone is here, you have to be more careful.The guide was nervous, and he had to look around when he took a step.

There are no legendary beasts in this forest, but there are a lot of snakes and insects.In a short distance, I encountered several snakes.All are highly toxic.Dense sweat broke out on the guide's forehead.

He said that this life belonged to Chen Xiao, and he really didn't ask to go back, and followed those footprints seriously.

After walking so far, Chen Xiao suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The guide looked at him in panic.

Chen Xiao signaled him not to make any noise, and the two quietly retreated behind a big tree.

The front was quiet and there was no sound. Chen Xiao listened intently for a while, only to hear a slight creaking sound of stepping on the leaves coming this way.

There was no expression on his face, and the general knife was pulled out of the military boots on his feet.
