Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2400: Chapter 2394: This Is Too Dangerous

"The footprints were already there, but when the snow was about to fill them up, someone came and cleared them out again, so they don’t look much different from how they appeared at first." Qiu Zhiqiang said, wondering how it was possible that there was no change. They were checking every hour because they thought without knowing what to do, they should just preserve the scene. Maybe someone who comes later might be able to figure it out.

At first, he thought the deputy captain asked for two people to go straight down the cliff to find someone. Who would have thought he meant for them to do this here while he went down himself to search? He was daring; otherwise, things might have gone wrong.

"Has anyone else been here?" Chu Molin asked Qiu Zhiqiang. This place isn’t easy to navigate. It’s risky, and if another person came, it would be hard to say, especially since the Snow Wolves could appear at any time. If there’s one, a second could appear—everyone knows wolves don’t travel alone; they are pack animals.

"No." Qiu Zhiqiang shook his head.

"Then you should leave now, don’t stay here any longer. I feel like more wolves might come here. If that happens, it’ll be troublesome." Chu Molin looked at the footprints not far away. There were quite a few unusual ones, and by the look of it, they were new. This can only mean one thing: wolves are here to scout.

Chu Molin never underestimated the intelligence of wolves. Their intelligence could match a human’s, and a wolf king’s would be even higher. Being pack animals, anyone who underestimates them would suffer.

"Deputy Director, is it true? Will they really come?" Qiu Zhiqiang was somewhat skeptical.

"Yes, they will come. Qing Zhu, take them down the mountain and wait for us at the station. I’ll go over there with Xue’er, and we’ll meet up later." Chu Molin wanted to follow the wolves to see if they could find Ye Xuan, but with Qing Zhu and the others here, he couldn’t do much. Since Xue Ling couldn’t come out, they had no guide and feared getting lost.

"Deputy Director, it’s too dangerous. You should go down the mountain, and I’ll stay." Qiu Zhiqiang disagreed with Chu Molin, refusing to let them face danger. He could move more freely alone.

"Stop talking nonsense, take them down quickly, follow orders, and wait for us there. If we don’t show up at the rendezvous in two days, head back without us. We’ll find another way out." Chu Molin thought this was the best way to handle things.

With them together, there were many things they couldn’t do—being too passive was unfavorable. In times of danger, they could hide in his wife’s space, but together, they’d have to face the risks directly. Choosing between the two, it was clear he should send them down the mountain to wait. If they couldn’t find Ye Xuan, they’d be able to adjust their approach anytime.

"Xuexue, do you think so too?" Qing Zhu asked Qin Xue. He knew they were a couple and acted better together, but she also wanted to find that man. She had martial prowess and wouldn’t hold them back.

"Qing Zhu, Chu Molin is right. You all should go down first. I’ll stay with him. As a doctor, it’s better for me to be with him. Even though you can protect yourselves, this isn’t the place for you to utilize your strengths. So, follow instructions and go down. I promise to help you find Ye Xuan." Qin Xue understood what Chu Molin intended as soon as she heard him, so she cooperated with him.
