C267 End
Huo Moting and the others who were preoccupied with getting out, the only thing they could do now was to actively search the island for any signs of getting out. The short circuit signal device tried the coast, but there was no response. No one knew if there were any ships around.
Huo Mochen and Lu Shanshan's atmosphere became better and better these past few days, and they often spoke together. Huo Mochen felt that he understood Lu Shanshan more, but actually, on this small island, where he couldn't do anything, it didn't take too long to understand a person.
Although Lu Shanshan was a very venomous little girl who did not spare anyone with her words, her thoughts were soft and there were still a lot of thoughts in this little girl's head. However, this time, it didn't take long before it landed on the island. In short, Huo Mochen had never thought that one day, she would actually fall to the condition of an island seeking to survive.
"Huo Mochen, what do you want to do first after you leave?"
Huo Mochen thought for a moment, "There's nothing special I want to do, if I can really get out, it would be to go back and see my mother. She just gave birth not long ago, and I'm not by his side either."
"Your mother can have children?" Lu Shanshan's face was full of shock, but Huo Mochen was completely speechless, "Why are you looking at me like that for?"
"It's nothing. I just feel that your mother is in good health and doesn't have any other thoughts. You're already so old, so how could your little brother be like your child in the future?"
was speechless. "Seriously, you don't feel comfortable just thinking about it."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Your mom should be worried about you for so long, right?"
Huo Mochen's expression was somewhat downcast. It had actually been a very long time since he and Gu Ruqin had sat down and calmly spoke a few words, but instead, became more and more distant. He also attempted to talk to Gu Ruqin about these things, but he also realized that his mother was a little unreasonable, especially after she gave birth to his brother.
"Why are you not saying anything, your mom is worried that this is for sure, my mom must be crazy by now. When my sister lost her life, my mom hugged me and cried for a long time, after all, a living person just disappeared like that." I know how guilty my mom is, and thinking about how I've let her down too, I had to say that I was going to come out and adventure when I grew up, but I never expected to encounter such a thing. "
"We can definitely get out." Huo Mochen comforted her, "Your mother will definitely be waiting for you outside. Actually, I always had a thought, if Chen Yu were to kill those two people too, would life on this island end?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Shanshan's face was full of suspicion as she continued, "Although sister-in-law wants to use the law to punish these two people, once we leave this place, they'll probably just run away."
"That's true, all of them definitely have tricks up their sleeves, but we can't do anything, how can you find Chen Yu?"
Those people are now all scared out of their wits. But don't you forget, their initial goal is to plot against us. If their crisis is over, we cannot trust them on this island.
Lu Shanshan nodded, "Then what can we do?"
"Give him a chance and catch him."
"How can I create an opportunity like this?"
"When they fall asleep, we don't need to find a place to hide. The island's terrain is very complicated, and I suspect that there are still places in this house that we haven't discovered yet. Maybe this time we can find out."
"Then let's go back and talk to Sister Xiaoxiao and the others?"
"No, don't join them this time, I'm preparing to do it myself, I was the one who implicated you, Chen Yu and I know each other, he shouldn't be the kind of person to kill people without a clear reason, I know what to do."
"Then, if you don't plan to take them with you, then take me with you. I promise I won't tell anyone, but now those two bastards want to live with us, what should we do?"
"We can suggest that everyone stay in the hall tonight, and then we can go to the second floor."
Lu Shanshan nodded her head, "Very good, I have never done such a risky thing, but if I want to go out now, I have to find him."
As expected, after the two finished their conversation, they didn't tell anyone else. Gu Xiaoxiao, Huo Moting and the others were eating when they saw Huo Mochen and the others were back. They joked, "Why are you guys always missing recently?"
"No, Sister Xiaoxiao, we are just going to find if there is anything that we have missed. "But I still got nothing. I'm hungry from running."
Lu Shanshan saw that Wang Xian was holding onto his two daughters with dull eyes, and the other one was also sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face, obviously not having any intention of eating, if it wasn't for the fact that Lu Shanshan felt that her side was dangerous, and that they were under threat of death, none of them would be able to.
"Tonight, we will all be in the main hall. Everyone, don't run around." Gu Xiaoxiao said.
Everyone nodded. In fact, they were also doing this to protect Wang Xian and Qiu Hongxu, so the two of them had no objections.
Huo Mochen and Lu Shanshan looked at each other, and at night, the two of them would find an excuse to go inside the residence and patrol. Gu Xiaoxiao and Huo Moting felt that this duo was a little strange, and did not know what kind of sinister plan they had, but even though this residence was dangerous, the dangerous part was not towards them. When Wang Xian and Qiu Hongxu heard that someone was patrolling, they were naturally extremely happy, and felt that their lives were guaranteed.
Lu Shanshan and Huo Mochen went up to the second floor. Huo Mochen pointed to the place where he could see the hall and said softly, "This place is very well-hidden, the people who come up from the second floor won't see us, and the people below won't notice us. Coincidentally, big brother and the others are down there guarding us.
Until one in the morning, Lu Shanshan felt that she was getting more and more sleepy. The air was filled with a thick fishy smell.
"Huo Mochen, what smell is this?"
Huo Mochen also frowned, "I think we were set up."
Lu Shanshan did not understand, "What do you mean?"
"I don't know what this is, but it's very likely to be poisonous gas or something .."
Before he finished speaking, Huo Mochen had already fainted. Although Lu Shanshan was also dizzy, he roughly knew what Huo Mochen meant, this feeling must have been deliberately made up by the person who did this.
Thinking about it, maybe it was because her body had a lot of medicinal herbs that didn't taste good, so she was a bit resistant to the medicine and had not fainted yet. However, Lu Shanshan was unable to do anything else except stare at the scene on the first floor.
There was no sound from below, and everyone was already asleep. The inside of the house was terrifyingly quiet, Lu Shanshan extended his hand and slowly grabbed onto Huo Mochen's hand.
Lu Shanshan felt that she was truly magnanimous, even at a time like this, she still had the mood to think about such a thing.
She didn't know if it was just an illusion on Lu Shanshan's part, but she felt that she heard footsteps. The sound didn't seem to be coming from the first floor, but instead from below. She saw a man in black emerge from under the table where they usually ate.
Lu Shanshan looked carefully and realized that the person was only wearing a black windbreaker. But because she was too nervous, she felt terrified no matter how she looked at it.
There was actually something fishy under this mansion.
Lu Shanshan could not see that person's face clearly. Because of the light, even though Lu Shanshan had already tried very hard to look at his face, the effect was still meagre. That person also looked around. Lu Shanshan did not move, she was afraid that she would be exposed. She did not know whether or not this person would do something to her if she was found out.
When that person realized that there were no abnormalities, he immediately took action, her targets really were Wang Xian and Qiu Hongxu. As for those two people, Lu Shanshan felt that they no longer had any possibility of surviving. This person could also be considered to have a conscience, since neither their wife nor child had moved them.
"Huo Mochen, Huo Mochen." Lu Shanshan began to carefully push Huo Mochen, but Huo Mochen did not have any reaction at all, and did not know if it was the effect of the medicine? Lu Shanshan still fainted.
Only after Lu Shanshan fell asleep did Huo Mochen slowly open his eyes. He had been lying prone the entire time and had fainted. The poison aura on the second floor was not as dense as that on the first floor. He had already noticed that something was amiss from the start, and had immediately used his sleeves to cover it. Just now, he had also purposely pretended that he was unconscious, as he knew that this idiot Lu Shanshan would definitely not know how to cover her nose and mouth.
"Shan Shan, you are so stupid. You should just sleep here."
Huo Mochen stood up and went downstairs. As expected, the rest of the people were asleep, because there was still some poisonous gas on the first floor, Huo Mochen covered his nose once again. This person must have prepared this much beforehand, if not, he wouldn't have even prepared the poisonous gas.
He had actually seen that person's actions just now, but Lu Shanshan had been watching intently and did not realize it. This silly girl, if he was a bad guy, she would have died who knows how many times already.
Huo Mochen touched under the table, and sure enough, there was a place in this small space that he could move in, it was a secret passage, or perhaps, a door that led to the basement.
After opening it, there was a long flight of stairs. Huo Mochen carefully walked down, and before he even went down, he saw the person standing at the entrance.
"So you weren't asleep."
"You were too careless. Didn't you notice that I'm not on the first floor at all?" Huo Mochen asked, "It's really you, Chen Yu."
"Mo Chen, I've always liked you. I feel that you are much more interesting than your brother. I'm sorry for not being able to tell you everything, and to think that you would be trapped in this island."
"You did it for your brother?"
"Yes."
"How did your brother die?"
"It was caused by them. They should have already told you about the accident on the sea, right?"
Huo Mochen nodded.
They are all bastards, especially Hei Zi. He doesn't care about his wife and children at all, he actually threw them into the sea, but I didn't know that my brother followed me up, he always wanted to know what I did, and he actually disguised himself as a sailor. I really didn't notice then, I'm not a good person, they still don't have any relationship with me, as for me, I came empty-handed.
"How did you find out?"
