"Against the law? Do you think I'm afraid of it? As long as you have connections, you can solve anything in this world! "Gu Ning said in an arrogant tone, but she was just threatening Leng Shaoting.
However, even though Gu Ning wasn't a bad girl, she couldn't avoid doing bad things sometimes.
Gu Ning couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't kill anyone, but once she killed someone, it was either her enemy or a criminal.
"…"
The three men didn't know how to argue with her.
Since they came to find He Siyang, it must have something to do with the He family. The He family wasn't a small family after all, so it wasn't hard for them to solve this problem.
Therefore, they hesitated.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that He Hongyuan lost the gambling game, and he can't even protect himself now, so don't think that he can help you," Gu Ning said.
Hearing this, the expressions of the three changed. While they were shocked, they also felt despair.
They were right that He Hongyuan had failed.
Although they hadn't heard of it before, they had received He Hongyuan's call an hour ago. He told them to find He Siyang as soon as possible, and he seemed to be in a hurry.
At that time, they guessed that He Hongyuan might have lost the gambling game, and wanted to use He Siyang for something.
If He Hongyuan had won the gambling game, he wouldn't have needed He Siyang in such a hurry.
They were also worried that He Hongyuan would be in trouble if He Hongyuan lost the gambling game.
However, guesses were just guesses. They still didn't know what was going on. Furthermore, since Second Old Master had asked them to do so, they just did as they were told.
After hearing Gu Ning's explanation, they believed her and felt uneasy.
If He Hongyuan hadn't failed the gambling game, He Hongjie's men wouldn't have known that He Siyang was on this island.
After hesitating for a while, the three men decided to compromise. "Will you let us go if we tell you the truth?"
"As long as He Siyang is fine, you won't be in danger at least," Gu Ning said. It wasn't up to her to decide whether she would let them go, but the He family had the final say.
Although they might not be trustworthy, there was still a glimmer of hope if they told them the truth.
However, they didn't have enough confidence. It didn't make any difference whether they told them the truth or not.
Thus, the other party was put in a difficult position.
Seeing that, Gu Ning thought that something bad must have happened to He Siyang, so she was displeased. "Did something good happen to He Siyang?"
Seeing that Gu Ning cared about He Siyang so much, Leng Shaoting felt jealous, even though he knew that she was just helping the He family.
"No, no."
Hearing that, the man denied it at once. He was afraid that Gu Ning would think that He Siyang was in trouble and attack them on impulse.
"He Siyang only suffered some superficial wounds, but we don't know where he is. He ran away yesterday afternoon, and we've been looking for him, but we can't find him."
"What? Did he run away? " Gu Ning raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Are you sure you're not lying to me?"
"No, absolutely not." The man denied it at once. In case Gu Ning didn't believe him, he explained seriously, "Although we have He Siyang under our control, we don't dare to do anything to him without Second Master's permission. However, He Siyang is a cunning man. He ran away when we weren't paying attention to him, and we couldn't find him even after a long time. There are 10 of us in total, and the other seven are here. The three of us are mainly responsible for the beach, because it's the only way out if there is a ship coming in. We saw a cruise ship coming, so we came here to hide. "
Couldn't find him?
It wasn't good news. They weren't worried that He Siyang might run into poisonous snakes or wild beasts, but they were worried that He Siyang might fall off the cliff and be washed away by the waves.
"Let's go and look for him," Gu Ning said to Leng Shaoting, then she turned around and left.
However, when she turned around, she stopped and coldly stared at the three men. "I suggest that you stay here. If you want to run away, unless you're able to avoid our eyes, I don't know what will happen to you if other people see you."
After that, she left the secret room with Leng Shaoting.
As for the three men, they naturally did not dare to run away because they knew that the other party must have companions. It was impossible that it was just the two of them on the island.
Even if they wanted to run away, they had to untie the rope first.
A short while after Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left, they ran into two men. It was obvious that they didn't know that there were people on the island, so they didn't try to hide from them. Instead, they swaggered around.
"We've searched the entire island, but we still can't find He Siyang. I'm so tired," Man A complained. Man A complained grumpily. The place was so small, and they had searched for so long. Now, they were so tired that they wanted to lie down and sleep.
"Although this island isn't large, it's not easy to find a person. Let's keep looking for him. If we can't find him, we can't explain it to Second Master, "Man B said. He was also tired, but he was more afraid that he wouldn't be able to report it.
"Tie, why is Second Master in such a hurry to find He Siyang all of a sudden? Could it be that he had lost the bet?! Maybe he wants to use He Siyang as a hostage, "Man A guessed. Although it was just a guess, he thought it was very possible.
"Stop guessing. Let's focus on our task." Although Man B had the same idea, he didn't want to talk too much about it.
Man A pursed his lips. He was a little displeased. Just guess what was going on. He made it sound as if they were doing their job properly.
"Who are you?"
All of a sudden, the two men stopped when they saw a man and a woman standing not far away.
"We're here to find you," Gu Ning said, then walked to the two men, followed by Leng Shaoting.
"Who are you?" Man A asked.
Gu Ning didn't waste time on them. She gave Leng Shaoting a glance, and Leng Shaoting took the hint at once. They attacked the two men at the same time.
Seeing that, the two men fought back at once, but they were restrained by Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting after a short while. After that, Gu Ning took out a rope and tied them to a tree, then covered their mouths with a towel.
She knew that He Siyang wasn't in their hands, so she didn't ask further about it. After tying them up, she went to find He Siyang.
After walking for a while longer, she met another two men. She tied them to a tree in the same way as she had done to the two men.
However, they searched almost two-thirds of the island, but failed to find He Siyang, which meant that He Siyang was in danger.
