Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 568 - 371 Open the door~_1

Lao Wu’s fainting wasn’t an act; the sudden halt in the emotional aura emanating from him was proof enough.

Feng Yi curled his lips.

Forget it, this one’s no use, I’ll try another one.

Based on what he had just overheard, who else was in on the elaborate scheme...

The one that got away seemed to be their "boss"?

Cunning and ruthless enough to run so fast, decisively abandoning his own brothers.

Generally speaking, the one who plays the boss definitely knows the most and is the planner. He can’t really be allowed to escape.

But, there’s no rush.

Feng Yi tied up the three unconscious men.

Besides the one who had passed out directly, he dragged over the other two. Feng Yi then found some ropes in their luggage. By the smell of the ropes, they had been previously used for tying goods or other prey, but now they were particularly suitable for use on the trio themselves.

He tied their legs and feet securely.

And gagged their mouths too!

Huh? Looks like the one beside him is about to wake up!

Knock him out again!

Just as the person was about to come to, Feng Yi knocked him out again.

He tied up all three and threw them into the tent. He took all their weapons, equipment, tools, and goods, including everything inside the tent.

Finally, he pulled the tent closed, leaving just a small venting hole.

Feng Yi searched around and picked up the steel shovel that had been bent. He straightened the metal shaft.

It was dark, nothing could be seen clearly, and everything had happened so suddenly, Lao Wu didn’t have a clear idea of what had happened to the steel shovel; he couldn’t see it and didn’t pay attention, probably utterly confused at the time.

Feng Yi straightened the shaft of the steel shovel somewhat. Although there were still marks of damage, it didn’t necessarily prove he was the one who had done it. It could be blamed on the poachers themselves—looking like frequent usage, who knows what they did with the shovel?

The rest, with the one who had been frightened into incoherence, couldn’t be taken seriously.

After all, Feng Yi was wearing a mask; no one knew it was him.

Feng Yi was quite pleased with the dark and miserable environment. To him, it was an excellent cover!

Calculating the time, the "boss" had been running for a while. Wait a bit longer, let him get further away.

Feng Yi had his own ideas.

From what he had eavesdropped on earlier, these guys called each other "boss," "number two," "number three," "number five," and so on. Now, there were only three here, including the fleeing "boss," that makes four, indicating that there were others in the gang.

The swiftly fleeing "boss" was surely going to find the remaining members.

In a little while, if Feng Yi followed the "boss’s" trail, he’d probably find the rest.

Brethren should, of course, be together, complete and accounted for; not one less!

As Feng Yi waited, with nothing better to do, he took the now straightened shovel and began piling snow around the tent, burying it halfway.

Just as he was about to bury the tent completely, he stopped.

He tied up the three and left them there for two reasons: first, he didn’t want to get blood on his hands; second, Feng Yi felt that handing these people over to the professionals would definitely bring about more leads.

Pulling up the radish would bring out the dirt; it was clear this was an experienced poaching gang, tracing from the poachers to the buyers with several links in between, potentially involving many people.

Given the tremendous temptation of profits, who knows how many were involved.

Of course, such matters were most reliably handled by the official authorities.

He tossed the steel shovel aside and found a rock to sit on.

In the midst of the snowstorm, under the cold and dark conditions, Feng Yi seemed unaffected, going about his business as if nothing happened.

The cold wind blew, and with each breath Feng Yi took, the "snake’s tongue" on his mask flicked in and out.

He picked up the bag filled with cash and looked inside.

It was all paper currency, about five hundred thousand or so.

From the conversations Feng Yi had overheard before and the complaints from Lao Wu, this money was meant for the kidnapper—the one who intended to abduct Feng Yi at the worker’s shed.

"Five hundred thousand? I’m only worth half a million for one kidnapping!"

This was utterly inconceivable!

Feng Yi stared at the bundles of bills.

I’m at least a well-known internet personality, and also a specialist at the Union Preservation Bureau!

Only half a million for one kidnap?!

And combined with what those people had said...

So, those poachers spend five hundred thousand to hire someone to kidnap me, then sell me for ten million?!

Fucking geniuses!

Plus, considering their casual way of speaking about it, as if kidnapping a person was no different from capturing a pig, it was clear they weren’t new to this!

I was too soft on them earlier!

Tsk.

If it weren’t for the need to let people live in this weather and my reluctance to take a life, I would definitely go back and beat them until they were bruised and bleeding internally!

Feng Yi moved the bag of cash to one side and continued to examine their goods.

They didn’t carry much on them, some of the furs were likely obtained from others.

Shit! There is actually a snow leopard skin!

Judging from the smell, this skin was made not long ago.

Still, best to hand it over to the authorities!

The authorities should be able to trace other scattered poachers through this group, as well as some who hunt stealthily. Feng Yi himself didn’t have the time or energy to investigate such matters.

Checking again around the tent, he collected up the dangerous animal traps. Feng Yi checked the time; it was time to go after the escaped leader.

Distinguishing the scent information in the air, Feng Yi was somewhat surprised.

The guy ran faster than he anticipated!

Well-deserving of being the boss, the way he runs is indeed more efficient than the others!

Running so swiftly in these climate conditions shows he is well-acquainted with the area and was fully prepared!
