Chapter 223 - Chapter 223: Lunatic
Chapter 223: Lunatic
Huo Qi wasn’t here, and his subordinates’ backpacks had been searched. There was no more food or water. Su Qing instantly guessed what Huo Qi might have done.
The dock closest to Scorpion’s lair was the Baihu Pier. If Huo Qi was in a hurry to recover that batch of goods, he would go where the river led to, the Baihu Pier!
Su Qing understood this and turned around. She followed Huo Qi in the direction he had just left without hesitation. Behind her black mask, she cursed angrily, “Lunatic!”
Huo Qi was a lunatic!
He still didn’t know that Su Qing had been worried for him all night!
When he had just retreated from Scorpion’s lair, he had coincidentally avoided the military’s rapid march in the middle of the rainforest. Like a miracle, he was not attacked by the military!
Just as he arrived at the river area, he was attacked by the patrol team and the man-eating crocodiles. All his subordinates died before he could survive, but he still wanted to continue walking. He was really a crazy person who didn’t care about his life!
Su Qing’s understanding of Huo Qi was actually very shallow. The Huo Qi she knew was just a very domineering and shameless person.
He could always be high and mighty, and could always be omnipotent, but he couldn’t fall into the dust and mud and make a mess of himself. He was in a sorry state, but at the same time, he was a little isolated and helpless. This was very unlike Huo Qi’s image!
Su Qing might have forgotten that the first time she met Huo Qi was when he was in a sorry state. Huo Qi wasn’t just a high and mighty king; he was also a tenacious and fearless warrior. He was loyal and valued relationships. He was a stubborn donkey who couldn’t be pulled back by ten cows after making up his mind!
His strength was often concealed by a domineering and shameless face. Tonight, this courageous and fearless lunatic was the real Huo Qi! His position as the overlord of the Huo family wasn’t just for show!
Huo Qi, who had been walking along the river, actually saw the signal light behind him. He wasn’t sure if the person was a friend or foe, but he thought that Huo Feng wouldn’t be so fast. Huo Qi raised his guard and leaned against a towering tree, secretly observing that direction.
There wasn’t much movement, so there shouldn’t be many people here. Huo Qi let out a sigh of relief. There were still water marks at the corners of his dry eyes, and the wound on his back was painful from the river water. He cursed, seriously suspecting that the river water was poisonous.

He couldn’t care less and sat on the ground. He took off his backpack and gently pulled open his combat uniform. When he saw the bandages and clothes that were soaked in blood, his forehead twitched in pain, and he put them on again.
This was not the time to stop to change her dressing or treat her wound. The people behind might catch up later!
Huo Qi picked up his backpack, hung it on his chest, and started walking again. He didn’t know that Su Qing was running in this direction.
In the end, Su Qing worked hard to close the distance.
Su Qing didn’t even have time to hide her whereabouts as she ran. The army boots under her feet and her arms that were spread out because of her running caused the fallen leaves on the ground and the vegetation beside her to rustle.
As she sped past a tall oil palm tree, her sharp sixth sense told her that there was danger lurking near her!
In the next second, before Su Qing could react, she was pounced on by Huo Qi and fell onto the thick leaves on the left.
All the battle plans that Huo Qi had imagined in his mind a second ago froze when he hugged Su Qing and smelled her scent!
He knew that if his intuition was wrong, this second of slackness and hesitation would be the best opportunity for the enemy to take his life.
“Qingqing?” When Huo Qi called out this name, his tone was filled with confusion, surprise, and shock!
He didn’t expect the person to be Su Qing!
Oh my god! How could this be?! Why was Su Qing here? Who did she come to Namphan with? Could she be the one who had been chasing her just now?
Huo Qi thought about these questions. Without needing Su Qing to answer him, he was already very certain that the person under him was his girl!
This pleasant surprise had completely overridden all of his rationality!
