Chapter 415: Chapter 406: Someone Under the Car

The satellite phone’s microphone is louder than a regular cell phone.

The deep voice coming through the microphone at this moment is exceptionally clear in the quiet compartment.

"Have you arrived?"

"Yes, I’m currently in the motorhome that Huzi drove over, calling you with the satellite phone. Everything’s going smoothly here. Also, the motorhome is refitted quite nicely, I really like it."

The previous motorhome was suited to Shen Yunqing’s style.

Elegant in excess, lacking in opulence.

But compared to Shen Yunqing, she is somewhat more vulgar and prefers a bit of grandeur and splendor.

The interior of the current motorhome has undoubtedly been redecorated according to her tastes.

It looks more comfortable now.

"As long as you like it."

"By the way, I have a discovery to share with you..."

"The hotel’s surveillance shows..."

This time, both of them spoke almost simultaneously and then stopped abruptly.

"You go first, what did the surveillance find?"

"On her way back from the restroom to the booth, She Man nearly bumped into a man in a black hood. Unfortunately, his face wasn’t captured, but from his build and actions, he seems quite young. We’re still looking for other cameras."

"A young man, huh? That makes it easier. Check Luan Feng; you should have his photos on your side, right? Since we can’t see his face, start from his height and build."

"You suspect it’s Luan Feng?"

"Yes, I caught a faint whiff of the same scent on him today that I smelled on She Man on the day of the incident. Although very faint, I’m sure it’s the same."

"You smelled it?" Shen Yunqing paused, "How did Your Majesty smell it?"

Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help but roll her eyes upward toward the ceiling of the compartment.

Is that the point of focus here?

"I was seated close on the plane."

A quiet cough came through the microphone, "I’ll have someone investigate immediately."

"No need to rush; it’s getting late, rest first, and get busy tomorrow."

"Alright, you also rest early."

Just as Jiang Lingxi hung up the phone, the bathroom door was pulled open from the inside.

Lu Zhengzheng and Changning came out with faces flushed red from the steam.

The nights in the desert and Gobi regions are much colder than during the day, making the compartment comfortably cool without air conditioning.

Feeling the sudden cool air, Lu Zhengzheng shivered involuntarily.

In the next moment, she was wrapped in Changning’s towel.

Seeing this, Jiang Lingxi raised her eyebrows.

It seems that showering together has deepened their relationship a bit more.

Unlike her and Wei Minmin, making her somewhat regret letting Wei Minmin go in together.

Her hands were too restlessly wandering!

Besides having a proper 1.2-meter bed, the motorhome actually has two hidden beds.

Folding the dining table used for eating and tea and placing it aside, pulling out the two sofas would turn them into two one-meter-wide sofa beds.

The middle aisle didn’t block anyone’s passage.

The main switch in the compartment was on Jiang Lingxi’s side, and after the two lay down on their respective chosen beds, she reminded them and swiftly turned off all the lights in the compartment.

The wind blowing over the Gobi at midnight was tightly blocked by the thick walls and glass of the motorhome, without any tent flapping sounds from the wind. Almost moments after closing their eyes, the three of them fell asleep.

In a tent not far from the motorhome.

The tent was divided into two spaces by a curtain, and Luan Feng slept outside. No sooner had he carefully turned over than he heard the adult inside speak, "Not asleep yet?"

He sat up right away, "Did the sir also get disturbed and can’t sleep?"

"Not really, just not sleepy."

"How about I contact Xu Qingmei and have her send over another motorhome, so you can live more comfortably for the next month?"

"No need, I’m not that delicate."

Currently, only Jiang Lingxi has been equipped with a motorhome that looks decent in performance and sufficiently well-sealed; other female actors in the crew are all living in tents.

Moreover, Jiang Lingxi’s motorhome might just be to guard against him.

With his suggestion declined, Luan Feng didn’t bring up the preparation of the motorhome again. Just as he was about to lie back down, his expression suddenly changed.

"Sir..."

Chong Yin also opened his eyes, which had only been feigning sleep, "I didn’t expect that, on the very first night, the little ones already came into play."

Luan Feng was about to get off the bed to put on his shoes, "I’ll go out to take a look."

"No need."

Luan Feng paused while putting on his shoes.

"Ignore it, it’s just an ordinary person."

"...Understood."

Most people in the crew slept well through the night.

After getting busy with setting up the camp yesterday, they didn’t sleep until late at night, and apart from a few not used to sleeping in tents, the others opened their eyes to find it was dawn.

Jiang Lingxi also slept well through the night.

After freshening up, she left the bathroom for Lu Zhengzheng and Changning, who had just tidied up the sofa beds, and opened the compartment door to get some fresh air.

She had just stepped down, hand still holding onto the vehicle’s handle, and was about to take the next step when her movement halted abruptly.

She looked down at the traces on the ground besides footprints.

With the motorhome occupying a relatively large space, it’s parked at the edge of the camp.

At night, some animals could sneak under the compartment to seek warmth.

But the extent of these traces was a bit too large.

If it were animals, it would have to be more than one, quite a group!

Moreover, could it be that what Luan Feng spread last night didn’t repel snakes, insects, mice, and even small animals? Both she and Changning guessed wrong?

The leisurely movement of getting off turned into a direct leap, and after jumping down, Jiang Lingxi immediately turned around, half-kneeling on the ground, which had started to resemble sand, and slightly tilted her head to look under the vehicle.

Good news, there weren’t a group of animals clinging for warmth as she had imagined.

Bad news, there was indeed something under the car, darked, appearing curled up, estimated to be a person!

She took another sniff.

The Gobi was desolate, sand filled her breath, but beyond that, she caught a faint scent of blood.

Could they be injured?

Changning and Lu Zhengzheng got off the vehicle successively, not noticing the traces outside, but having their full attention caught by Jiang Lingxi’s current posture.

Lu Zhengzheng found it odd, "Xixi, what kind of posture is that? What are you looking at?"

Changning first froze for a moment, then his expression changed.

He jumped off the vehicle without a word and lay down on the ground to look under it.

It was only then Lu Zhengzheng realized something wasn’t right and was about to follow suit.

Changning spoke up, "Xixi, I’m going in to pull the person out."

"What, a person?"

Lu Zhengzheng was so shocked that she slipped into her hometown dialect, "Is... is there a person hiding under the car?"

Changning didn’t respond, focusing on crawling beside the vehicle on the ground, reaching underneath.

Jiang Lingxi pulled back Lu Zhengzheng, who was attempting to move forward too, and told Changning, "Be careful, that person might be injured or may have someone else’s blood on them."

In such a remote wilderness, anyone who would be sleeping under someone else’s vehicle could be anyone, definitely not a normal person.

As expected, when Changning’s hand touched the person below, they almost instantly woke up and reflexively fought back.

The two engaged in a scuffle directly under the vehicle.

Lu Zhengzheng covered her mouth to avoid crying out in surprise.

Until a muffled hum came from underneath, followed by Changning dragging the person out like a dead dog.

Lu Zhengzheng then lowered her hand, "Changning, are you okay?"

"I’m fine," Changning shook his head, reassuringly patting Lu Zhengzheng’s arm, and looked up at Jiang Lingxi as she walked over, "Xixi, just as you guessed, this person is indeed injured, on the back of the head. When I was grappling with him, I accidentally touched it. It’s a big bump, likely not self-inflicted. Whoever hit him, hit hard!"

Jiang Lingxi looked at the uninvited guest, struggling still although having his arms restrained, noting that under the dirt obscured by wind and sand, was a face that bore fierce yet clean eyes.

"Let... let me go!"

Changning had no intention of obeying him, having received several hits under the vehicle despite the opponent’s lack of fighting proficiency. Now hearing him speak, she only gripped tighter,

"Behave!"

"Zhengzheng, get the medical kit from the vehicle."

Facing these eyes glaring back, seemingly both hesitant and wanting to be fierce, Jiang Lingxi found it rather intriguing, "I might let you go, but answer my question first, who are you?"
