Chapter 376: The White-Masked Man with an Axe
Chapter 376: The White-Masked Man with an Axe
Fatty looked at the mask picture and asked, "Hey, isn't that the guy who was chasing Liu Sha before?"Jiang Weixin shook his head, "No, that masked man wasn't this tall. If we're talking about height..."
At this moment, Jiang Weixin saw Zhong Hui who had just returned.
"He's about the same height as Zhong Hui!"
All eyes turned to Zhong Hui.
Zhong Hui, who had just returned, was walking unhurriedly with a large bundle of branches in his arms.
When he came back and saw Jiang Weixin and Wang Qin's condition, he showed some curiosity:
"What happened to you two?"
Jiang Weixin didn't want to repeat the story, so Fatty recounted their encounter.
Zhong Hui suddenly shuddered all over.
Fatty asked him what was wrong?
Zhong Hui said, "The person Brother Jiang mentioned, I saw him when I was gathering firewood."
"A man in a red and black checkered shirt with a white mask. I was some distance away from him at the time, saw him heading down the mountain, but I didn't pay much attention. I never expected something like this would happen!"
"Ahhhhh! I want to go down the mountain!!!"
After Zhong Hui finished speaking, Wang Qin suddenly went crazy.
She screamed loudly about wanting to go down the mountain.
The people present didn't know what to do.
After all, such a dangerous thing had happened.
And they had just come up the mountain not long ago, now they wanted to go back down.
It would mean coming here for nothing.
Fatty knew that Wang Qin's demands to go down the mountain wouldn't determine the overall situation, so he looked at Jiang Weixin.
Jiang Weixin closed his eyes and thought for a while.
Then he said, "Go down the mountain? Bullshit! Getting chased by a psycho with an axe for a while and you're scared of this and that? How am I supposed to survive in the business world? When people sent me bullets before, I wasn't scared! And now I should be afraid of him?!"
Wang Qin sat on the ground, pleading pitifully, "But, what if we encounter that person again?"
Jiang Weixin gritted his teeth, "Didn't Zhong Hui just say he saw that psycho heading down the mountain? Even if he didn't leave and still wants to attack us, there are so many of us. From now on, wherever we go, no one goes alone. Why should we be afraid of him?"
Jiang Weixin and Wang Qin had been having sex outdoors at the time.
When that ghostly thing suddenly appeared.
That's why he lost his composure.
After all, anyone in Jiang Weixin's position would have been scared half to death.
"Brother Jiang is right, there's nothing to be afraid of, there are so many of us! If we go down the mountain now, it would mean coming here for nothing. We haven't even seen the sunrise or sunset yet. At least we should wait until tomorrow's sunrise!"
Fatty said.
And so, these people decided to stay.
Wang Qin asked, "Then should we call the police?"
Jiang Weixin replied, "Call the police? Neither of us got cut, and who knows where that person ran off to. What's the use of calling the police? Besides, this isn't the city where we can rely on surveillance cameras to find people."
Because of this incident.
Everyone in the campsite temporarily behaved themselves.
Even when they moved around, it was in groups of two or three near the campsite.
They didn't dare to run wildly all over the mountain.
"Hey, why haven't Wang Haoran and Liu Sha returned yet?"
It had been an hour since Jiang Weixin and Wang Qin returned, but those two still hadn't come back.
Jiang Weixin sneered, "That guy, when he sees a beautiful woman he can't walk straight. Who knows what he's doing?"
These people had all seen Wang Haoran fawning over Liu Sha whom he just met, that eager attitude.
They didn't say anything with their mouths, but in their hearts they all looked down on Wang Haoran somewhat.
The time reached around 5 PM.
Several people sat in the center of the campsite, each on a small stool, eating snacks and chatting.
Seeing that the time was about right.
Fatty stood up and said everyone should find a place to watch the sunset.
Their current campsite location definitely wouldn't work.
And because of the scruffy-bearded man who was initially chasing Liu Sha, and the white-masked man.
These people didn't dare to all leave the campsite with no one staying behind.
They were afraid someone might tamper with their campsite, like putting something in their water and food.
Although the probability was very low.
But regardless, someone needed to stay behind to guard the campsite.
"I'll stay, I'm not really interested in sunsets anyway."
Zhong Hui, who had stayed behind at the campsite earlier, proactively volunteered to stay again this time.
So, the others went together to watch the sunset.
Fatty, the short guy, and his ordinary girlfriend.
Jiang Weixin, Wang Qin, and the Freckled Girl walked at the front.
While Jiang Ran and Wang Qingzhao walked at the very back.
Looking at the figures ahead.
Wang Qingzhao suddenly turned to Jiang Ran and said:
"Jiang Ran, have you noticed the invisible social hierarchy among those people ahead?"
Jiang Ran listened to this, then watched the people ahead for a few more minutes.
Said:
"I see it now."
"Fatty, Zhong Hui and the others all make their living at Jiang Weixin's company, so they all call him Brother Jiang, and when climbing the mountain, they carried most of the luggage and equipment. They're the subordinates."
Wang Qingzhao nodded, "But people like us don't need to pay attention to Jiang Weixin's moods at all, unless we also have requests for him."
"Ah, university was so much better, life in the ivory tower. Although you could still sense class differences in university life, it wasn't this obvious."
Jiang Ran curled his lips, quite speechless at Wang Qingzhao's sentiment.
You, Wang Qingzhao, were born into a wealthy family and don't lack money...
What do you have to sigh about...
As Jiang Ran thought this, he heard Wang Qingzhao say:
"Jiang Ran, who do you think that person with the axe and white mask who attacked Jiang Weixin and the other is?"
Jiang Ran thought for a moment, then shook his head, "How would I know that?"
Wang Qingzhao smiled faintly, "You could guess."
Jiang Ran, "Can't guess. A stranger, how could I possibly guess?"
Wang Qingzhao said, "What if it's not a stranger?"
Jiang Ran stopped walking, "You mean? That white-masked man is one of us?"
Wang Qingzhao said with a smile, "I think the white-masked man is Zhong Hui."
Jiang Ran shook his head, "Impossible. Even though he has no alibi and had plenty of time."
"Why would he do that? He makes his living at Jiang Weixin's company. What benefit would killing Jiang Weixin bring him?"
Wang Qingzhao smiled gently, "You'd have to ask him about that."
Jiang Ran narrowed his eyes. Whether it was an illusion or not, he always felt that Wang Qingzhao had changed somewhat, feeling different from before.
Both sunrise and sunset are extremely spectacular and beautiful sights.
Especially when you're in a high place like a mountain peak.
You can watch sunrise and sunset more completely and directly.
Jiang Ran's group found a good spot to watch the sunset.
When they arrived, the sun had already begun to gradually set.
That golden-red glow spread across the land.
First coloring the clouds around them, then everything else.
Jiang Weixin and the others quickly took out their phones to take photos, record videos, take selfies, etc.
Desperately trying to capture this sunset moment with their phones.
Even Wang Qingzhao was no exception.
And she even had Jiang Ran take photos of her with the sunset.
