"That's great, it's really great..."
This made Jiang Yichun and Ding Huixiang stand up excitedly with Li Chengde and the others, beaming with joy. "I said Xiao Wan and Luo Tang have great fortune and fate, they wouldn't be in trouble. Old Gu, you can rest assured now..."
"Mmm..."
Gu Yuanbai was so emotional he wanted to sit up. Qi Miaomiao quickly helped him, crying and laughing, "Master, Senior Sister is not dead..."
"Thank heavens..."
Gu Yuanbai excitedly patted Qi Miaomiao's hand, tears of joy streaming down his face.
During this period, waiting for news of Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang had been the most agonizing time for Gu Yuanbai, Jiang Yichun, and the others.
Now, good news had finally arrived.
"Excellent..."
In an instant, the news spread throughout the medical rescue team at the displacement point. Shen Yingrui and Ding Zipeng were also invigorated upon hearing it.
Everyone had initially believed that Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang might have truly perished. To think that six days later, they could return alive was almost unbelievable.
At this moment, Wan Dongming and Jin Xiuwen, Fang Yanxi and Jiang Peipei and Huang Yuqing, along with Dai Qiuyue and Xu Lingwei and fellow disciples Li Zihang, and Ling Wei and Kuang Long and Han Duoduo, Fierce Tiger and the others also immediately returned to the refugee camp at the Xinxu Community. Seeing Ma Zhendong, who had been there for the past two days, they immediately asked, "Have they returned?"
"Not yet."
Ma Zhendong, who had already learned about finding Wan Yunting, smiled at Wan Dongming and the others. "Don't worry, they are on their way back and should be here any moment..."
As soon as he spoke, two military rescue vehicles were slowly approaching in the distance. Cai Guowu and Nie Xiaoyu, who were in the tents at the camp, came out and immediately shouted upon seeing them, "It's them, they're back..."
"They're back, they're back..."
Fang Yanxi and Jiang Peipei and the others, upon hearing that Wan Yunting had returned, felt both excited and nervous, and hurried to greet them.
"Elder Gu, please be careful..."
Shen Yingrui and Ding Zipeng helped the frail Gu Yuanbai, while Jiang Yichun and Li Chengde and the others also came out, walking towards the two approaching military vehicles...
Wan Yunting, sitting in the car, saw Fang Yanxi and Jiang Peipei and Huang Yuqing, his second brother Wan Dongming and Jin Xiuwen and Dai Qiuyue, and Ling Wei and Niu Qiuling, and Han Shumei, and even Kang Nuolan and her classmates were all there...
"Why is everyone here?"
Wan Yunting's expression froze. He hadn't expected them all to come.
Gu Luotang, sitting beside him, saw Fang Yanxi. The hand holding Wan Yunting's hand loosened involuntarily. Slowly, she withdrew it, her pretty face losing its smile as she lowered her head, her heart filled with complex emotions.
Wan Yunting turned his head to look at her. How could he not know Gu Luotang's thoughts? He sighed inwardly, reached out and took Gu Luotang's small hand again, causing her to lift her head slightly and turn to look at the man.
Wan Yunting smiled, but said nothing.
As the vehicles slowly stopped, Cai Guowu and Nie Xiaoyu immediately went up. Gu Xiaozhuang opened the car door, and Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang alighted from their respective doors...
"Third Brother..."
The first to run over were second brother Wan Dongming and Jin Xiuwen.
Wan Yunting nodded to Cai Guowu and Nie Xiaoyu, and then embraced his rushing second brother. Wan Dongming said excitedly, "You brat, we all thought you were dead."
"You rascal, you really scared us to death." Jin Xiuwen also patted Wan Yunting's shoulder heavily, laughing with emotion.
"Luotang..."
Shen Yingrui and Ding Zipeng helped the trembling Gu Yuanbai over. Gu Luotang quickly ran up to meet him, "Grandpa..."
"Let Grandpa see..."
Gu Yuanbai looked at his granddaughter excitedly. Gu Luotang's eyes welled up with tears of joy as she said, "Grandpa, I'm fine."
"Wuwu, Senior Sister..."
Qi Miaomiao cried, hugging Gu Luotang, "We all thought you and Brother Yunting were dead..."
"It's good you're back, it's good you're back..."
Jiang Yichun and Li Chengde and the others were happy. Wan Yunting also greeted them cheerfully. Finally, he saw Fang Yanxi and Jiang Peipei and the others standing in the distance, not coming over. Ling Wei, standing beside them, turned her flirtatious eyes towards Fang Yanxi and said with a charming smile, "What's wrong, aren't you going to give him a hug?"
Fang Yanxi looked coldly at Ling Wei, who was clearly provoking her, and ignored her.
"Hehe, if you don't go, I will..."
Ling Wei smiled charmingly and, seeing Wan Yunting approaching, she stepped forward and directly spread her arms open. "Boss Wan, everyone thought you were dead. Come give me a hug..."
Wan Yunting, being hugged by this vixen right in front of Fang Yanxi and the others, froze on the spot. Seeing Fang Yanxi's face instantly darken, Wan Yunting felt a chill in his heart. His expression turned awkward as he pushed Ling Wei away, smiling, "President Ling, why are you here too?"
"Tsk, as soon as I heard you were in trouble, I rushed over. Aren't I worried about you?" Ling Wei playfully punched Wan Yunting's firm chest with her small fist, smiling enchantingly.
"Alright, alright, thank you."
Wan Yunting, startled, quickly took two steps back, speaking awkwardly. Then, he hurried towards Fang Yanxi, not giving Ling Wei a chance to speak.
"Yanxi..."
Wan Yunting strode over, looking at Fang Yanxi's haggard and gloomy face, and smiled with deep apology and tenderness. "I'm sorry, I made you all worry..."
Seeing the man open his arms to embrace her, Fang Yanxi took two steps back and dodged him, saying coldly, "I wish you had died in there!"
The woman's action and words stunned Wan Yunting. He managed a bitter smile.
Jiang Peipei and Huang Yuqing, seeing Fang Yanxi's expression, dared not move.
"Yanxi..."
Wan Yunting stepped forward again, wanting to say something, but Fang Yanxi turned away indifferently, leaving behind a sentence, "We'll talk about explanations when we get back."
Watching the woman's retreating back, Wan Yunting sighed helplessly in his heart.
"Yunting, it's good that you're alright. I'll go check on Yanxi."
Huang Yuqing said to him, then chased after Fang Yanxi. Jiang Peipei's eyes were shimmering. She really wanted to rush over and hug the man, but felt it wasn't appropriate. So, she shot Wan Yunting a glare and huffed, "I'll deal with you when we get back."
Seeing this girl also chase after Fang Yanxi with Huang Yuqing, Wan Yunting shook his head helplessly. Then he noticed Xu Lingwei and Li Zihang and the others standing nearby and said, "Why are you guys still standing there? Go follow them."
Xu Lingwei, her expression blank, turned and left. Li Zihang pointed at Wan Yunting, "Junior Brother Wan, you owe us more money."
Wan Yunting waved his hand speechlessly. At this moment, Kang Nuolan came over with her classmates. "Teacher, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded at them. Dai Qiuyue walked over and said, "It's good that you're alright."
"Doctor Wan, please follow us. The Commander has something to ask you." Nie Xiaoyu walked over and said.
"Alright."
Wan Yunting nodded, knowing they would surely want to question him.
"Second Brother, Xiuwen, you guys go back and rest first. I'll come find you later." Wan Yunting called out.
"Okay..."
Wan Dongming and Jin Xiuwen nodded. Gu Luotang was naturally also called to the army camp. Cai Guowu wanted to ask them about everything that had happened in the cave over the past few days.
"Doctor Wan, please have a seat."
Cai Guowu said to Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang as they entered, "Please tell us in detail about what happened in the cave these past few days."
Nie Xiaoyu and Gu Xiaozhuang and Xiao Zhao and the others were all present, all eager to know what they had experienced in the cave.
Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang exchanged a glance, and then he recounted everything that had happened between them in the cave over the past few days, in meticulous detail, while someone took notes for them.
As this involved the sacrifice of a soldier, Wan Yunting also described Wang Weicai's sacrifice in great detail, finally sighing, "It was my fault for implicating Little Wang."
Cai Guowu and Nie Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Those two people followed you, intending to kill you?"
"Yes, they are people from the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult..."
Wan Yunting then explained to Cai Guowu and the others about Guan Hongyu from before, his deductions, and also his suspicion that Fang Tai and Chen Guangyang were the ones who ordered Liu Zi and Men Hulu to kill him during his cooperation with the police to dismantle Gao Zhe's drug trafficking network.
Cai Guowu listened and nodded. "I will follow up on this matter with your Hua Du City police department and continue the investigation. You just need to cooperate then."
"Good."
Wan Yunting nodded, and then proceeded to carefully recount what had happened to him and Gu Luotang afterwards.
For example, encountering the black snake that had gained sentience. Gu Xiaozhuang and Xiao Zhao and the others were shocked, "Wow, was it really that big?"
