Start a mysterious island

Chapter 1044: You can know a person’s face but not his heart (two chapters combined into one)

"Then you should be careful, don't let the investigator catch you, but die in the hands of the beast instead." Tan Chunhui said with a smile.

"You don't need to remind me of this, I will be careful too..." Zhao Chengxi responded casually, and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and asked.

"By the way, why are you here?"

"I'm here for vacation." Tan Chunhui said with a smile.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it. There's no need to find a reason to lie to me..." Zhao Chengxi shook his head, then looked at Tan Chunhui and said seriously.

"You saved me this time, I owe you a favor. If you need me in the future, as long as I can do it, just ask."

Tan Chunhui smiled and nodded, then watched Zhao Chengxi enter the wilderness.

In less than half a minute, his figure disappeared in the lush grass.

"Huh..."

The breeze blew, and the lush flowers, plants and trees were gently swayed by the wind, making a rustling sound.

The bright moon hanging in the sky, splashing silvery white moonlight on Tan Chunhui, made her delicate skin look even whiter.

"Zhao Chengxi owes me this favor, I have to make good use of it."

As soon as the voice fell, a few crows flew up from the woods in the distance, making a strange cry.

Tan Chunhui turned her head and glanced at the flying crows, then turned and left.

It was quite a coincidence that she met Zhao Chengxi today. Next, she was going to a place to meet an important person.

…………

"Swish..."

The lush grass shook for a while, and soon a figure ran out of the grass.

"Huh..."

Zhao Chengxi took a few deep breaths to calm his disordered breath.

Then he raised his hand and pulled his collar to let the cold wind outside lower his rising body temperature.

There was a small hill not far ahead, and there was a man-made cave on the hill, which contained some food and drinking water.

Zhao Chengxi will hide in this cave for ten days or half a month, wait for this storm to pass, then come out of the cave and find a way to leave Rongcheng.

Step forward, the breeze blows on his body, and the surrounding grass echoes the sound of insects.

When Zhao Chengxi was about to reach the cave, he suddenly stopped and stared at a bush in front of him on the left.

"Who?"

"It's me."

A figure walked out of the bush. This person was 1.75 meters tall, with a square face and thick eyebrows. He looked honest and simple.

"It turned out to be you." Zhao Chengxi saw the other person's appearance clearly, and his vigilance was lifted.

Then he said depressedly, "Tonight's transaction failed. We were ambushed by investigators, and only a few people escaped."

Sun Jinpeng frowned when he heard this, "This transaction is so secretive, how can the news be leaked?"

Zhao Chengxi was even more depressed after hearing this. He thought this transaction was a sure thing, but it turned out to be a complete failure, and he almost got himself involved.

"Alas..." Sun Jinpeng sighed, "The Ability Management Bureau is very powerful, especially in terms of intelligence.

You don't have to be so discouraged if you fall into their hands."

Zhao Chengxi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "The failure of this transaction must be because the undercover planted by the Ability Management Bureau around me leaked the news."

Sun Jinpeng asked, "Are there any suspects?"

Zhao Chengxi shook his head, "Not at the moment."

"How do you plan to find out the undercover later?"

"Now more than half of the people have been arrested, and the undercover may be among them. It will be difficult for me to find out the undercover."

"..."Faced with this unsolvable problem, the two people fell silent.

After a few minutes, Sun Jinpeng broke the silence, "Are you injured?"

"Yeah." Zhao Chengxi nodded, "My injuries are not bad, not very serious, I can recover after a few days of rest, don't worry."

After that, he began to walk towards the cave in front.

Seeing this, Sun Jinpeng hurriedly followed.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you, why are you here so late?"

"Didn't you tell me before that this hiding place is not spacious enough, so I came here to renovate it." Sun Jinpeng said.

"Has it been renovated?" Zhao Chengxi's eyes lit up when he heard it.

The cave used for hiding is only seven or eight square meters. He mentioned it casually at the time, but he didn't expect the other party to remember it and take the time to renovate the cave. It's quite touching.

"It has been renovated. The area of ​​the cave is now 20 square meters. Is this area enough? If not, I will continue to renovate..." Sun Jinpeng replied.

"Twenty square meters is enough, there is no need to expand the area." Zhao Chengxi smiled.

The two came to the cave and turned on the solar light. The white light illuminated the cave at once, and the renovated cave came into view.

"The renovation here is really good." Zhao Chengxi glanced at the situation in the cave and praised with great satisfaction.

"As long as you like it." Sun Jinpeng responded with a smile, and then approached Zhao Chengxi.

"It would be even better if we could decorate it with some furniture and flowers." Zhao Chengxi raised his hand and touched his chin, thinking about buying some furniture. At this moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

"Uh..."

Looking down, he saw a dagger piercing his heart, and bright red blood overflowed from the wound, quickly staining his clothes red.

Zhao Chengxi slowly turned his head and looked at the enemy who attacked him in disbelief.

Sun Jinpeng pulled back his right arm, pulled back the dagger, and looked at the other party expressionlessly.

Zhao Chengxi stumbled and fell to the ground. He covered his heart with his hand, trying to stop the bleeding.

However, this was a fatal injury. No matter how he tried to stop the wound and stop the bleeding, it was ineffective.

In just a few seconds, Zhao Chengxi felt that his body was powerless.

Then, he fell down with his head raised and collapsed to the ground.

"Why?"

"..." Sun Jinpeng was silent.

"I have no grudges against you, why did you do this?" Zhao Chengxi used his last strength and asked hoarsely.

Before his consciousness completely disappeared, he heard Sun Jinpeng's apologetic words, "You offended someone you shouldn't have offended."

Zhao Chengxi died, and blood was still oozing out from the injured heart. A small pool of blood formed on the ground not long after.

Sun Jinpeng stepped forward, squatted down to check, and made sure that Zhao Chengxi was dead, then he stood up and left.

"Boom."

The entrance of the cave collapsed, and a lot of rubble rolled down. It would take more than a day to dig out the cave.

Sun Jinpeng took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the address book, and dialed a phone number without a name.

"Beep."

As soon as he dialed the phone, the person on the other end answered.

"Did you get it done?"

"Done."

"Are you sure he's dead?"

"I checked, he's definitely dead."

"Did you grind his bones to dust?"

"..."

Sun Jinpeng didn't answer, and the person on the other end of the phone said angrily.

"Didn't I tell you to grind his bones to dust after you kill him? Why didn't you do it?"

"The person is already dead, there's no need to let him die without a complete body!"

"Humph, he got it easy."

Sun Jinpeng followed the other party's order to backstab the defenseless Zhao Chengxi. Now that the matter has been settled, he spoke.

"I have helped you kill him. You must keep that secret for me and never tell anyone else."

The person on the other end of the phone said with a smile, "Since you have completed what I asked, I will naturally keep my promise."

After talking about Zhao Chengxi, the two had nothing to talk about.

After hanging up the phone, Sun Jinpeng glanced at the collapsed cave and muttered to himself.

"Sorry, that thing cannot be known to others. I can only apologize to you."

After saying that, Sun Jinpeng turned and left. In less than half a minute, he disappeared in the vast wilderness.

…………

"Huh..."

The breeze blew, rustling sounds came one after another, and the roar of beasts could be heard faintly in the distance.

In the collapsed cave, because there was no light, the cave was dark.

Zhao Chengxi, who fell in a pool of blood, was motionless and cold all over.

A little after one in the morning, a cry of pain suddenly sounded in the dark cave.

"Uh..."

"Hiss..."

Zhao Chengxi slowly opened his eyes, and the scene of being attacked appeared in his mind.

"Beast."

"Just wait for me."

Zhao Chengxi had just cursed twice, and the severe pain in the wound almost made him faint.

He couldn't faint again at this time, otherwise he might never wake up.

"Hiss..."

He supported himself with his left hand and sat up. Now any movement would involve the wound. Zhao Chengxi was in pain and kept gasping for air. The sweat on his forehead dripped down his cheeks.

It took a lot of time for Zhao Chengxi to turn on the solar light again.

The bright light made the dark cave bright, and the collapse of the cave came into view.

"You did it really well."

"Is this a tomb for me?"

"Haha, you are a good person..."

Zhao Chengxi mocked a few words, and then found a medicine box in the corner of the cave.

This place is a hiding place, in addition to food and water, medicine is naturally indispensable.

Zhao Chengxi applied hemostatic drugs to the wound, and the bleeding stopped soon.

He looked down at the severely injured heart area, and said to himself with lingering fear.

"Fortunately, I was born with two hearts and have the means of faking death, otherwise I would have died in the hands of that bastard today."

After resting for more than an hour, Zhao Chengxi was able to get up and move around.

Because his injuries had not healed, he could not do any intense movements.

And because he used the means of faking death, he could not use his spiritual power normally in the next few days.

The collapsed cave in front of him was blocked by many stones. With Zhao Chengxi's current strength, he could not break the stones and leave.

"What should I do now?"

Although this place is remote, it is very close to the safe zone, so the mobile phone can still receive signals.

At this time, his physical condition is extremely bad. It is basically impossible to leave the collapsed cave by his own strength, so he can only ask other people for help.

Zhao Chengxi reached out and touched his pocket, but did not find his mobile phone.

It should be when he was faking death just now that Sun Jinpeng searched him and took his mobile phone away.

How to make a call without a mobile phone?

Fortunately, this problem did not stump Zhao Chengxi. He came to a corner of the cave, squatted down, and knocked on the ground with his fingers.

"Dong Dong Dong."

The ground was empty. If you look closely, you can find that there are cracks in the ground.

Zhao Chengxi turned over the bricks with great effort, and a mobile phone wrapped in a plastic bag appeared in front of him.

Originally, he prepared this phone, but he never thought that he would need it one day. However, things are unpredictable, and he still needed it.

If he didn't prepare this backup phone, Zhao Chengxi would not be able to contact the outside world. When the food and water were gone, he would starve to death here.

He turned on the phone, and the battery was still full.

This backup phone has few functions, and its only advantage is that it has a long battery life.

Fully charge it once, turn it off and hide it, even if it's two or three years later, turn it on again, its battery is still full.

Because of Sun Jinpeng's backstabbing, Zhao Chengxi no longer trusts the people around him.

He thought seriously, and a gorgeous figure suddenly flashed in his mind.

Tan Chunhui saved his life before. If she wanted his life, she wouldn't help him, so he could call her now.

"Damn."

"She just saved my life."

"Now I have to call her for help again."

"It's really embarrassing."

Zhao Chengxi muttered to himself depressedly, and then he didn't hesitate too much and called Tan Chunhui immediately.

"The number you dialed is not in service..."

The voice from the phone made Zhao Chengxi frown. He quickly realized that the other party did not often use this phone number.

Then he tried to recall the phone number that Tan Chunhui often used and tried to dial it.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered it.

Just when Zhao Chengxi thought that Tan Chunhui did not use this phone number, the other party answered it.

"Hello?" Tan Chunhui returned to the hotel after finishing her work and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Now she was wrapped in a white bath towel, sitting on the sofa, with her right leg on her left leg, her toes gently shaking, and her posture was extremely charming.

"It's me." Zhao Chengxi's voice became a little hoarse because of the injury.

"Who are you?" Tan Chunhui heard what the other party said, but did not recognize who the other party was.

"I am Zhao Chengxi."

"It's you! Why does your voice become like this?"

"I was attacked by someone and I am seriously injured now..." Zhao Chengxi briefly recounted the incident.

"Puff." Tan Chunhui couldn't help laughing after listening to what the other party said.

"..." Zhao Chengxi remained silent.

"You have always been cautious, but you were stabbed in the back by someone close to you. This is too funny!"

"You can't know a person's heart by his appearance! In addition, he disguised himself too well, so I fell into his trap."

"Tell me your location, I'll go save you now."

"It's hard to describe where it is exactly, I'll send you a location information."

The two communicated for a while, hung up the phone, and Tan Chunhui stood up with a smile on her face, raised her hand and tore off the bath towel on her body, and the brilliant spring light was immediately visible.

Unfortunately, she was the only one in the room at this time, and no one else could see this scene.

Although Zhao Chengxi had used hemostatic drugs, his injury was in the heart. If he didn't want any more accidents, it would be best to let a professional doctor treat him.

Tan Chunhui had to hurry up and rush to where Zhao Chengxi was to rescue him.

After leaving the hotel, she called a taxi, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.
