Shouts sounded, and Li Chen could vaguely hear them.

“Oh no, they’re in danger,” Li Chen muttered to himself.

Then, he opened his backpack and searched it quickly. Finally, he found a pistol.

“Thank God, I knew this backpack would be of great use at critical moments!” Li Chen held the pistol with both hands and walked in the direction Wang Qi and Zhao Yu had walked in.

At this moment, Wang Qi had already stood up with Zhao Yu’s help. The hill that could have been reached in a few steps now seemed abnormally difficult to climb.

“Walk slowly!” Zhao Yu warned.

“Why is it so slippery!” Wang Qi sounded like she was about to cry.

Zhao Yu knew that the path was not difficult to walk. It was clearly Wang Qi who was so frightened that she could not walk. She could only watch as those pairs of eyes approached.

Zhao Yu knew that the odds were against her this time.

Pa!

A loud sound resounded through the night sky.

The few pairs of eyes gradually retreated when they heard such a loud noise. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the night.

Wang Qi fell into Zhao Yu’s arms and cried. “Sister Yu, I’m scared, I’m scared.”

“It’s alright, it’s alright. You’re safe now!” Zhao Yu comforted Wang Qi and patted her.

“It’s fine. Those should be wolves. They have already been scared away!” It turned out that the shot just now was fired by Li Chen. Thanks to Li Chen’s shot, the wolves were scared away.

Li Chen rushed over with a torch. At this moment, Wang Qi already fell limp in Zhao Yu’s arms. Li Chen looked down and happened to see the circle of black lace on Wang Qi’s collar from this angle.

Li Chen quickly shifted his gaze away from this scene. ‘This isn’t something I should be watching,’ he thought to himself.

“Let’s go to our fire. It’s safe there.”

After saying that, he reached out to help Wang Qi up, but when he thought of their opinions, Li Chen retracted his hands.

“Help!”

“Somebody help us!”

“Did you hear something?” Zhao Yu stopped Li Chen.

“Listen, listen carefully,” Zhao Yu said again. Li Chen went silent.

Sure enough, a few shouts came from the darkness.

“We heard it just now, and now we are hearing it again.”

“There are others. I’ll go take a look. You bring Wang Qi back first.” Li Chen arranged the next operation. If he brought Zhao Yu and Wang Qi with him now, it would only cause him more trouble.

Then, Li Chen handed Zhao Yu a torch. After calming down, Wang Qi finally stood up. Zhao Yu helped her back the way they came.

Li Chen held the torch high with the pistol that came out of his backpack in his hand. He continued to walk in the direction of the sound. Along the way, weeds grew everywhere. Li Chen walked very carefully. After walking for an unknown period of time, the sound became louder and louder.

Finally, he reached the place where the sound came from. Li Chen hid in the grass at the side. The sound came from a tree, but the leaves blocked Li Chen’s vision. He did not know who was on the tree.

At the base of the tree, a few wolves were already waiting to enjoy the food. One was already climbing up the tree in anticipation, but for now, they were safe on the tree. After all, wolves couldn’t climb trees.

“Help! Someone save us!”

“Is anyone here?”

Li Chen heard the familiar voices. Could it be Hua Long and Zhang Yang?

However, the most important thing now was how to save the two of them. Li Chen quickly raised his gun and aimed at the wolves.

Pa!

With a crisp gunshot, one of the wolves fell to the ground, and the other wolves fled in fear.

“It’s all thanks to this pistol. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Li Chen quickly went under the tree. He looked up and saw the situation on the tree. Zhang Yang was hugging a branch tightly with trembling legs. Hua Long was fine. After all, he had trained before. He had already climbed to the top of the tree.

“It’s safe. Come down.”

Li Chen shouted.

“Ah, who are you? Is it safe now?” Zhang Yang asked.

Then, the two of them slowly climbed down from the tree. They were shocked to see Li Chen in front of them.

“Oh, it’s you! You saved us!” Zhang Yang said.

“Hmph, spineless wimp. If it weren’t for you, I would have beaten them away long ago,” Hua Long said.

“Don’t tell me you’ve peed your pants because of those wolves?” Hua Long did not forget to mock Zhang Yang.

“Stop talking. We can’t stay here for long. I’ll take you to a safe place.”

Li Chen quickly stopped their conversation. Then, he brought Hua Long and Zhang Yang through the dense jungle and returned to the safe place that Li Chen had found.

When they saw that the people Li Chen brought back were actually Hua Long and Zhang Yang, Wang Qi and Zhao Yu looked at the two of them in surprise.

“It’s you?”

“So it’s you guys…”

Everyone gathered at this place again. Li Chen quickly added some firewood to the fire, and the fire burned even brighter.

Li Chen got everyone to sit around the fire. Everyone could finally sit down and have a good talk.

“Li Chen, I’m sorry. The two of us shouldn’t have slandered you.” Hua Long was the first to open his mouth and apologize to Li Chen.

“Sister Yu, we made up those things. Li Chen didn’t do those things at all. We only said it because of the internship.” Hua Long’s words made Zhao Yu angry.

“You…” Zhao Yu was so angry that she could not speak.

“Look, the truth is out now,” Li Chen said. Now, the matter was finally clear. They were clearly making up false claims.

“That day, I was very angry and wanted to go over and argue, but I didn’t expect to cause trouble for Wang Qi and the others. At that time, Wang Qi came over. I wanted her to explain to you, but there was a sudden bump which caused me to fall.”

Li Chen also explained why he had touched Wang Qi on the plane.

“Then how about that time when I woke up?” Wang Qi was like a curious baby as she started to ask about that day.

“That’s because you fainted. I wanted to save you, but I didn’t expect you to wake up at that exact moment,” Li Chen explained.

The matter was finally clear. It turned out that they had wrongly blamed Li Chen.

“Li Chen, I’m sorry for wrongly blaming you.” Zhao Yu also apologized sincerely.

“Alright, alright. It’s fine now that the matter has been resolved. Everyone, hurry up and rest. There’s a fire here, so it’s safe for the time being.”

Li Chen quickly brought more firewood and added them to the fire. At the same time, he surrounded the fire with mud to ensure that the fire would not come out.

“You guys can go to sleep. We have let Li Chen down. We will be the lookouts.” Hua Long pulled Zhang Yang over and looked at Zhang Yang.

“Yeah, you guys go to sleep.”

Zhang Yang looked at Hua Long and hesitated.

“Why don’t we take turns? Just keep an eye on Wang Qi and Sister Yu,” Li Chen suggested.

“Don’t argue with us. It’s all thanks to you. If it hadn’t been for you, we might have died.”

Hua Long was still so domineering. He directly rejected Li Chen’s suggestion. Seeing this, Li Chen did not say anything else.

Everyone did not reject Zhang Yang’s offer and fell asleep under the watchful eyes of Hua Long and Zhang Yang. After all, it had been a tiring day.
