Su Qing nodded lightly and picked up the phone that she had placed on the ground just now.

In Namphan.

The towering giant tree and oily palm covered the sky. The hot and humid temperature made it difficult to breathe. Their sweaty clothes stuck to their bodies, making them extremely sticky.

Huo Feng raised his hand and waved away the unknown insects that had been lingering around him. He looked at the disappearing figure in the distance and sighed before shouting at his other subordinates to stop. “Stop, stop chasing! We haven’t investigated the area ahead, so it might be an enemy trap. Let’s not follow them!”

When the dozen or so people around Huo Feng heard this, they stopped in their tracks.

Huo Feng licked his dry lips and raised his wrist to look at the time. He said loudly, “Let’s retreat first and meet up with Young Master.”

With that, Huo Feng turned around and walked to the front. The gun that weighed more than ten catties on his shoulder had also become a burden!

They couldn’t even touch the enemy’s shadow, let alone fight him!

The temperature in the rainforest in the afternoon was even higher. Huo Qi reached out and tried to pull off his clothes to let the air in, but he realized that it was still in vain.

They had been in Namphan for almost two hours, but Scorpion didn’t try to contact them again. Huo Qi looked at the satellite phone in his hand with a deep frown, his expression cold. No one knew what he was thinking.

It was very strange that Scorpion had cut contact with him right at this moment!

This was already Scorpion’s territory. There was no reason for Scorpion to still cower and not dare to come out even though he was already here. Didn’t Scorpion still want to do business with him? How dare he still antagonize him with such cowardice?

No! That wasn’t right! No matter how timid Scorpion was, he wouldn’t reject the money that was about to be obtained. There was only one possibility. Scorpion had been tied down by something, or he had other thoughts and wanted to raise the price!

Actually, no matter what the situation was, it would only spell trouble for Huo Qi!

Huo Qi put away the satellite phone and asked the guard beside him in a low voice, “Is Huo Feng not back yet?”

“Yes, Young Master! Brother Feng brought people to chase after the person just now, but he hasn’t returned yet.” The guard stood beside Huo Qi with a submachine gun and replied respectfully.

The Huo family wasn’t a simple gang with a weak foundation. If one had to compare them with anything, they shouldn’t be inferior to the army. Huo Qi had always treated his subordinates like a militarized force.

Huo Qi raised his long leg, stepped on the bumper of the SUV, and boarded it.

He took out his binoculars and looked at the vegetation in front of him. He saw Huo Feng under the oil palm tree not far away, walking back to where he was.

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Huo Qi said calmly, “Bring two boxes of water out. Huo Feng and the others are back. The temperature in the rainforest is high, so don’t dehydrate.”

The guard nodded and replied, “Yes!” With that, he turned around and raised his hand, indicating for the people below to bring the water over.

Huo Feng saw Huo Qi sitting on the roof of the car from afar. When he walked over, he pulled off the mask on his face and reported to him while panting, “Young Master! That person should be from the village ahead. He ran into the direction near the sea and disappeared! I’m not familiar with the terrain here, so I didn’t dare to chase after him. I was afraid that I would fall into the other party’s trap, so I came back first!”

Huo Qi nodded and said in a low voice, “You did very well! The terrain in Namphan is very unfriendly to us. Tell our brothers to be careful!”

When Huo Feng heard this, he thought for a moment and asked worriedly, “Young Master, what should we do next? Why hasn’t this Scorpion contacted us yet? Could it be that he received some news and ran away?”

“That’s not impossible,” Huo Qi said expressionlessly, his deep eyes filled with an incomprehensible darkness.

He took out his cigarette box and lit a cigarette. “We can’t just wait for Scorpion’s reply. That would be too passive. It’s not my style!”

As Huo Qi spoke, he spat out a few smoke rings. Actually, he wasn’t usually addicted to smoking. He would only smoke two cigarettes when he was stressed or troubled. From this morning until now, Huo Feng had already seen Huo Qi take out his cigarette box several times!

“I’ve heard from the old man in the past that most of the gangs in Namphan are inseparable from the village. There aren’t many places suitable for humans to live in this rainforest terrain. If you want to find the location of their gang, you have to find the village and the people first!”
