Chapter 245: Patching Up The Formation

When he heard those words, Jiang Shuxuan was taken aback. The corner of his lips turned downwards, though it was gone as soon as it appeared.

In regards to Gu Xiqiao’s whereabouts, he only pinpointed that she was in N City, but he didn’t know what she was up to. However, he didn’t have any intention of telling that to Yi Tong. Seeing that Yi Tong didn’t have anything else to report, he raised his hand to hang up the call, looking unusually calm.

“Hey, Boss! Wait a minute!” Yi Tong realized that Jiang Shuxuan was going to hang up for real, and he immediately collected himself. “Miss Cecily and Mr. Ying are gone.”

“Gone?” Jiang Shuxuan’s fingers halted, and his brows furrowed.

Yi Tong was slightly concerned as he continued, “We made an appointment to meet here, but I haven’t seen a hair of them until now.”

Jiang Shuxuan nodded, indicating that he understood, and hung up the video call.

Yi Bing hurried stepped forward to show him a message that he just received. “Boss, Miss Cecily has just sent a message asking for help. The signal isn’t strong, but we can probably pinpoint a location.”

Jiang Shuxuan gave a glance at it, and said lightly, “Send it to Yi Tong.”

“We’re not going to save her?” Yi Bing asked, his eyes wide.

“No.” Jiang Shuxun lowered his eyes, looking away and heading towards the top of the mountain.

Yi Bing almost choked on his saliva over the shock, and he mulled over Jiang Shuxuan’s words for a while, trying to decipher whether there was any hidden meaning behind it. Finally, he sent the coordinates to Yi Tong, and added: Yi Tong, don’t say that I didn’t remind you. If you get into trouble, go and find Miss Gu!

After receiving the coordinates from Yi Bing, he waved his hand in a wide arc, signaling to the big group that he was leading to head deeper into the mountain.

“Yi Tong, we’re not going to greet Miss Gu?” Jiu Tong said as he turned to look at the thin, slender figure.

Yi Tong didn’t reply, nor did he turn back. He fiddled a little with the compass in hand after about ten steps, before he replied, “No need, she knows we’re here.”

“She does?” Jiu Tong couldn’t help but turn his head again. “She seems to be concentrated on painting, and doesn’t seem like she noticed her surroundings, or us.”

“Are you nuts?” Yi Tong glanced at Jiu Tong, looking at him like he was the dumbest idiot in the world. “Miss Gu has such powerful mental strength, everything within ten miles of her wouldn’t escape her, and you still think she uses only her eyes to see us? Do you think she’s weak like a chicken, like you?”

Jiu Tong was silent after that, recalling how the cave had disappeared into thin air the other day. He shook his head, wiping the expression off his face, no longer feeling any doubt at Yi Tong’s words.

Three minutes later, he finally realized what the other had said about him. “… Are you trying to pick a fight with me, Yi Tong!”

Yi Tong: … This complete idiot!

“Sister Gu, those people are weird. They keep turning to look at you.” Shi Tou sat beside Jiji, staring hard at it while he spoke.

Gu Xiqiao raised her head, looking at him. “Those people?”

Shi Tou pointed to Yi Tong and the others who were leaving. “Those.”
