Two minutes later, six men appeared from different directions and walked up to Anthony.
"Prince, Qing Muye was injured and taken away by Young Master Liannuo in a helicopter. Our plan has failed."
One of them reported the situation.
"Trash!"
Anthony's sharp gaze fiercely glided over the man speaking. He stood up, walked towards him, and kicked him, "What use are you!"
"Young Master Liannuo has been following Qing Muye, and there are Liannuo's hidden guards around. We haven't found a suitable opportunity to act."
"You mean, He Ka Liannuo is protecting Qing Muye?"
Anthony felt something was not right.
If He Ka Liannuo was truly intending to protect Qing Muye, it meant she already knew Qing Muye's identity.
But he couldn't understand what value Qing Muye held for He Ka Liannuo.
"Yes," the man replied.
Anthony had come up the mountain to personally witness Qing Muye's death, and then for the news to reach Meng Jingwei, allowing him to witness Meng Jingwei's pain firsthand.
But as it stood, there was no such opportunity.
In that case, what was the point of him staying here?
"Kill Meng Jingwei!"
He slightly raised his chin, looking down towards the direction of the mountain, his sapphire-blue eyes shooting out icy coldness. He said in a deep voice, "If she makes it back alive, this time next year will be your death anniversary."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Several men nodded in unison.
Anthony got up and turned back, with others coming to meet him.
The four men descending the mountain walked together, appearing to be chatting and laughing, exceptionally relaxed. In reality, each harbored their own thoughts.
Meng Jingwei was wary of Anthony and Kang Zi. After deliberation, she finally decided to leave them and find Qing Muye alone.
Before Anthony arrived, if she left now, he wouldn't know her direction of travel, which would be safer.
"Mmm..."
As she walked, she suddenly reached out and covered her abdomen, letting out a soft gasp.
Xiao Cheng, walking beside her, noticed her abnormality and immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"My stomach hurts a bit. You guys go ahead, I need to take care of some personal matters." She gave an embarrassed smile and walked towards the dense woods nearby in a rather sheepish manner.
"Women are so troublesome."
He Ka Lingchuan shook his head, "Let's go, we'll head down first."
"I'll wait for her here." Xiao Cheng was ultimately not at ease.
"Alright, Kang Zi, let's go down first." He Ka Lingchuan beckoned to Kang Zi.
"Okay."
Kang Zi responded and limped along behind He Ka Lingchuan as they headed down the mountain.
Entering the dense woods, Meng Jingwei, having escaped their sight, headed towards the direction of Mount Yisazite.
As she walked, her steps suddenly halted.
"Something's wrong."
Meng Jingwei frowned in deep thought...
According to the original plan, she and Qing Muye were supposed to wait for the other party by a lake at the junction of Mount Masapas and Mount Yisazite.
However, their group of five had been moving particularly slowly today, inevitably falling behind Qing Muye.
With whom would Qing Muye be grouped?
Without a doubt, it had to be with He Ka Liannuo.
And He Ka Qingtang had five children. She had met He Ka Yanyi, He Ka Liannuo, and He Ka Lingchuan. She hadn't met the other two and didn't know them.
He Ka Yanyi was steady and posed no threat to the position of the hidden leader; He Ka Lingchuan was also the same.
As for He Ka Qingtang's other two children, although they were girls, they were reportedly of mediocre talent and not the preferred candidates for the succession of the hidden leader.
Therefore, these four people were definitely safe and would not face any life-threatening danger.
The only one who might get hurt was... "He Ka Liannuo?"
If Qing Muye was grouped with He Ka Liannuo, he would have a responsibility to protect her.
Once He Ka Liannuo's life was in danger, Qing Muye, along with himself, would become suspects and face the risk of decapitation at any moment.
