Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 871 - 849: Chasing Across a Thousand Miles

"Alright, don't ask questions you shouldn't." Bai Baichuan said.

"Come on, Captain, what's the harm? I'm bursting with curiosity, tell me." The Berserk Soldier chuckled.

Whale and Flying Dragon both perked their ears, although their eyes weren't focused here. Obviously, they were listening too.

Ren Feng said helplessly, "Just don't tell anyone else."

"Don't worry, we won't say a word." The Berserk Soldier shook his head like a drum.

"Baichuan, you should tell them."

Bai Baichuan nodded, "Actually, this secret isn't huge, but it's indeed embarrassing. It's simple—years ago, old man Lu Shiming married more than one woman. The new wife he married afterward was young and beautiful, about the same age as Lu Wangjiang—you're getting what I'm saying here, right?"

The Berserk Soldier and others widened their eyes, "Captain! No way, this is too dramatic!"

"Yeah, and Lu Ruiyang even witnessed it." Bai Baichuan said.

Ren Feng spoke, "Actually, in big families, this kind of thing is probably quite common."

"I think the same. So speaking of big families, it seems our captain's family could be considered one too."

Bai Baichuan glared, "Berserk Soldier, if you dare say nonsense again, I'll throw you into the Huangluo River to feed the crocodiles!"

The Berserk Soldier chuckled, "Boss, I'm just joking, don't be so angry."

Ren Feng looked a bit helpless, "Alright, let's move on. I think Lu Ruiyang might take a detour, and it could take more than three days."

The group quietly followed, advancing through the tropical jungle.

The terrain of Yangjin is mostly jungle in the north, except for a few cities, and this terrain extends to the main channel of the Huangluo River at the junction of the three countries—Laos, Vietnam, and the Kachin Rebel Army's stronghold.

Ren Feng and his team's tracks couldn't be discovered by Lu Ruiyang or the Kachin Rebel Army; otherwise, the rebels would surely hide.

In front, Lu Ruiyang was frantically fleeing, having run for a day and night without rest, looking back as he ran, avoiding cities for fear of trouble.

Now, feeling he had escaped into Yangjin territory, far from the border, he finally sighed in relief.

His face showed a sinister look; if it weren't for Ren Feng and others, he wouldn't be in such a mess now.

After thinking over his future plans, Lu Ruiyang realized he had nowhere to go. Southern Province was under the Lu Family's influence; they would surely hunt him down, and Yangjin wouldn't care who he was in the midst of warfare.

After much deliberation, Lu Ruiyang found he had only one place to go—the Kachin Rebel Army.

Clenching his teeth, Lu Ruiyang decided, "Alright then, I'll go to the Kachin Rebel Army. If I can leverage this force, maybe there's a chance to fight back."

Having made up his mind, Lu Ruiyang decided to head to the Kachin Rebel Army's base camp—Qingmang City.

Comparing his location and direction, Lu Ruiyang set off directly.

Ren Feng and the others followed him, maintaining their distance. They stopped when he stopped, moved when he moved, for almost two full days like this.

"Boss, you said it takes three days from the Lu Family to the Kachin Rebel Army's stronghold? Why do I feel it will take much longer?"

The Berserk Soldier spoke softly, sitting down on the ground.

"The tropical jungle has many poisonous insects underground; they might bite right where you sit." Flying Dragon said nonchalantly.

The Berserk Soldier immediately jumped up; he found a bug on the ground and stomped it dead.

"Almost there," Bai Baichuan said. "We've entered the main channel of the Huangluo River. Follow this river down and we'll reach it in a day or two."

"Another day or two?" The Berserk Soldier was speechless.

"Alright, alright, you're such a chatterbox."

The group continued moving forward, as if walking through a tropical jungle. Despite the cold weather, it felt more humid in the jungle.

But Ren Feng and the others were strong, and Bai Baichuan's team were elite from the Dragon Squad, having completed countless missions, so they weren't daunted by this environment.

Following Lu Ruiyang, another night passed, and it became the third day.

"Captain, look!"

The group hid behind a patch of jungle, holding binoculars to watch Lu Ruiyang nearby.

In that spot was a simple camp, covered by plants, and many hidden spots around, seemingly equipped with firearms.

The camp was next to a wide river, with a boat on it.

"This is a small camp. We've avoided those scattered Kachin Rebel Army soldiers before, but this one is hard to bypass. Look, there's another camp not far away, this should be the Kachin Rebel's core area; the guards have increased." Bai Baichuan commented.

Ren Feng watched Lu Ruiyang, seemingly talking to someone in the camp, frowning slightly, "Traveling along this river to the opposition's stronghold, the best way should be by boat, right?"

"On Huangluo River, boats are the best means of transport."

"What if Lu Ruiyang boards the ship, how do we follow?"

The group furrowed their brows. Bai Baichuan asked, "Bro, how long can your True Qi last?"

"It's dissipated."

"Ahead is probably the stronghold, not far, just a few miles."

Now, the group felt stuck.

Ren Feng observed the turbulent, muddy Huangluo River, impossible to see the riverbed.

"We'll go underwater." Ren Feng decided firmly.

The others understood.

"I'll go first!"

Flying Dragon said, taking advantage of the distraction, diving into the water without making much splash or noise in the rapid current.

The Berserk Soldier and Whale followed, each jumping into the water. When it was Ren Feng and Bai Baichuan's turn, a Kachin rebel soldier approached, noticing the noise.

Ren Feng and Bai Baichuan hid, unable to make a move, with others watching from the camp.

The two hid behind the trees of the jungle, Ren Feng watching the soldier approach, frowning.

Looking up briefly, Ren Feng shot True Qi, hitting the branch above the soldier.

Thud!

A snake and a broken branch fell right onto the soldier's head.

The Kachin rebel soldier reacted, shouting loudly as the snake fell on him, panicking entirely.

"Go!"

Bai Baichuan and Ren Feng seized the moment, diving into the water directly.
