“Tm not sure yet, but it’s very late now. He probably went back.”

Hearing this reply, Gong Cheng clenched his fists and punched the ground.

“alright!”

This was a scapegoat sent to his doorstep by the heavens! He could quietly get rid of the two of them and lay the blame on the cave inhabitant.

Gong Cheng looked at his subordinate and revealed a satisfied smile.

“You’ve done well in this matter. When you get back, come to me and receive a million.”

“Yes, thank you, Boss,” his subordinate agreed excitedly.

That was one million!

“Lead the way.” Gong Cheng stood up as a cold and ruthless glint flashed across his eyes. “I want to meet the cave inhabitant personally. For all we know, there are more than one.”

His subordinate immediately went to gather their members.

They moved quickly and did not alert anyone.

Before Gong Cheng set off, he even glanced at Fu Xi and Gong Hao’s tent.

‘There was no movement. They seemed to be sleeping quite well.

“Sleep a little more. You won’t be able to enjoy your peace very much longer.”

He sneered coldly and turned to leave with his team.

His subordinates led him to the marked cave.

Gong Cheng asked his team members to bring in their guns and daggers.

“Be careful, don’t make too much noise.”

The team members nodded.

Not long after they entered, a man’s roar came from the cave, but it quickly disappeared.

A subordinate came out in a sorry state.

“Boss, it’s done. It’s just a male savage. He’s covered in fur.”

Male savage?

Gong Cheng became interested and walked into the cave with his hands behind his back.

The savage had his hands and feet tied and his mouth covered. When he saw him enter, he struggled to get up.

“Be obedient,” a member shouted and slapped the back of his head.

This slap was not light. He softened from the impact and fell to the ground, groaning.

Gong Cheng looked away in disdain.

“It’s settled.”

“Yes.” The subordinate agreed. There was a muffled sound of a dagger piercing into the flesh. The savage’s body twitched, and blood quickly flowed out. There was no more movement.

“Deal with it cleanly.” Gong Cheng waved his hand and looked coldly at his trusted aide. “Find some skilled people to stay behind and pretend to be savages.”

The aide immediately understood.

“Boss, do you want them to ambush us?”

“Mhm.” Gong Cheng watched as his teammates dragged the savage’s corpse out and said coldly, “I’ll think of a way to lure them over again. Don’t hold back!”

His subordinates shuddered.

“Yes, Boss. Don’t worry.”

Gong Cheng walked out of the cave in satisfaction. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, he smirked.

God was really helping him.

Leaving behind the team members who were pretending to be savages, everyone returned to the camp. They had wasted a lot of time, and it was already dawn.

Little Bear was very alert. When it saw them approaching, it roared again.

“Beast.”

Gong Cheng’s good mood was ruined. He touched the wound on his ear that had not recovered and was so angry that he kept trembling.

He pulled out his gun and aimed at Little Bear, about to shoot.

“What, do you want to kill my bear again?”

A clear female voice rang out. Gong Cheng froze for a moment and revealed a fawning smile.

“Sister-in-law, you’ve misunderstood. I was just trying to scare it

“Is that so?”

Fu Xi came out of the tent and looked at him coldly.

“Ah Cheng, you’d better remember that I won’t allow anyone to hurt it, including you.”

“Sister-In-Law is right.”

Gong Cheng agreed readily. Fu Xi no longer looked at him and returned to the tent with Little Bear in her arms..
