Wang Qiang and Derek drove to the temporary reception point around five o'clock.
This moment is consistent with the result Xu Renjie originally deduced.
Wang Qiang, Drake's return... Hu Xiaodong, Xu Renjie are naturally looking forward to it.
To put it bluntly, after learning about what happened in the village and Huabiao's arrest through Wang Zhongyu, Xu Renjie and Hu Xiaodong hoped that the Thunder Eye Team would come back soon.
Now that the Thunder Eye Team is back, Hu Xiaodong immediately went downstairs to greet them.
But when they got downstairs, Hu Xiaodong found that the only two people back were Wang Qiang and Derek.
This made Hu Xiaodong surprised. He asked almost subconsciously: "Hey, where is Lei Zi? Why haven't you seen anyone else? Are you still in the car?"
Hu Xiaodong never thought that Lei Tong would stay in the forest.
It's normal not to think so. After all, in the past, when Lei Tong led a team out, there was never anyone who didn't return with the team.
In addition, something special is happening in the village and Hua Biao is arrested. It is very likely that Lei Tong will see these things.
Therefore, it is difficult to say that Lei Tong will not take any drastic measures.
Although, Hu Xiaodong also believed that Lei Tong, as a scout, would handle things rationally and put the overall situation first.
But after all, he was Huabiao, a good brother and comrade-in-arms of his sharp knife company.
This kind of comradeship... Hu Xiaodong has never experienced it.
But he knew that the friendship between comrades was incomparable to other human emotions.
It's hard to say that Lei Tong wouldn't act impulsively because of this.
If Lei Tong really acted impulsively, then he didn't come back with the team at this moment... maybe there was some accident.
The capture of this gorgeous watch by the "skinheads" was already a huge loss to our team, and if Lei Tong suffered another accident because of it... the heavy damage to the team could not be described in words.
Derek let out a long breath: "Oh, Brother Hu, don't mention it. This time, things will be in big trouble. That..."
"We'd better go inside and talk more about that."
Wang Qiang interrupted what Derek was about to continue, and he raised his hand and pointed upward.
As Derek said, the situation this time is serious.
This is not something that the three of them can discuss in the building.
Besides, Xu Renjie is not here, so it is always not good to talk about these things without someone.
Wang Qiang also believed that Derek would never want to repeat this matter.
After all, nothing that happened was a good thing.
Hu Xiaodong was stunned at first, but he still chose to respect Wang Qiang and nodded lightly: "Okay, let's go back to the house and talk!"
He responded simply, but Hu Xiaodong's heart was tightened by Derek's words.
This man fears nothing more than ambiguity.
Especially the bad things about the crisis fell into reality. Lei Tong did not come back with the team, and Huabiao was arrested again. The two things were put together so that people could contact him.
In this case, if things are not explained clearly, it is even more likely to cause misunderstandings.
Just like that, the three of them ignored the greetings and questions that they would have had in the past when they met, and walked upstairs in silence.
And Xu Renjie had already noticed that Lei Tong had not returned with the team upstairs.
After seeing Wang Qiang and Derek, Xu Renjie swept over them one after another.
Before Xu Renjie could ask questions, Hu Xiaodong spoke first: "Old Xu, the situation seems to be more troublesome than we thought."
Hu Xiaodong had no idea what was happening.
But as the saying goes, caring leads to chaos.
Although he didn't know what happened, Wang Qiang and Derek's words and expressions were already very revealing.
Xu Renjie didn't answer. After looking at it, he gave up his seat and greeted inside: "You're both tired after a long day of driving. Go sit inside."
Xu Renjie's calmness...Hu Xiaodong was somewhat surprised.
But this is reasonable.
It's not that Xu Renjie doesn't care about Lei Tong's safety and Hua Zi's situation. What he does is actually easing Wang Qiang and Derek's emotional state in disguise.
He knew that when Wang Qiang and Drake came back this time, no matter what happened outside, when the two of them arrived at the temporary connection point and joined forces with their own side, the whole state was definitely extremely exciting.
At this time, if you directly start discussing the situation in the mountains and forests with the two of them, they are likely to have mood swings.
In this way, it is not conducive to explaining things clearly.
After all, expressing something with negative emotions is definitely biased.
When people are disturbed by negative emotions, they will habitually add fuel to the story when describing things, aggravating the problem.
What Xu Renjie needs is as accurate information as possible, so that it can facilitate his analysis and judgment, help him control the overall situation, and make correct decisions accordingly.
Xu Renjie said so, no matter how anxious Hu Xiaodong is, he still has to provoke him.
"Ah, yes, yes, Qiangzi, Xiaode has been traveling all day, working in boats and carts, so go sit inside and rest."
Still following the old rules, Hu Xiaodong poured hot water for Wang Qiang and Derek at the same time.
After waiting for almost two minutes, Xu Renjie asked, "Why did Lei Zi come back?"
It’s time for Xu Renjie to speak.
Hu Xiaodong really admired Xu Renjie's calmness.
He turned to look at Wang Qiang and Drake.
The two men were carrying water, but there was no entrance at all.
Judging from the expressions on their faces... they were tense and solemn, without a trace of emotion.
"Lei Zi, nothing happened to him, right?" Hu Xiaodong followed up and asked.
Derek didn't seem to understand what Xu Renjie and Hu Xiaodong were asking. After the latter two stopped talking, he directly said: "Old Xu, Brother Hu, something big happened!!"
Okay, another inexplicable sentence that makes people confused.
"Something big happened? What happened!?" Hu Xiaodong's first reaction was that Lei Tong was in danger.
His brows also furrowed into a frown in an instant.
Compared with Hu Xiaodong's concern, Xu Renjie responded relatively calmly: "Don't be anxious, Xiao De. If you have anything to do, tell me slowly."
Rushing won't solve anything.
Anxiety can only make yourself confused and make things troublesome.
But the problem is, not everyone can maintain a calm attitude like Xu Renjie at all times.
Derek rubbed his cheek with his hand, and then said hurriedly: "Something happened in the village, Hua Zi, he was arrested by the "skinheads"."
I was originally waiting for Thunder Eyes, but I never thought it was related to the beautiful watch that Derek threw out first.
On Derek's side, it's not surprising that he mentioned Huabiao first.
After all, Hua Biao was actually imprisoned in the "skinhead" camp when they left.
As for Lei Tong, although the "skinhead" gangsters sent people up the mountain, Lei Tong himself was not discovered and did not encounter any danger.
Therefore, comparing the two, in terms of the level of "big things"... there is no doubt that it is more serious that Huabiao was captured by the "skinheads".
Derek first said that Huabiao was very normal and there was no problem! !
But if Derek's words fall into Hu Xiaodong's ears...
