Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Upon hearing what Grandpa Wu said, Yue Feng's lingering confusion instantly vanished.

"Sir, you mean the person behind all this is...?"

Just as Yue Feng was about to say the familiar name, Wu Keji shook his head, signaling Yue Feng not to.

Yue Feng stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen, and Xiao Wu, who were standing nearby, also realized what had happened after hearing it.

Xiao Tao, in particular, jumped up from his seat and reached for the rifle hanging behind the door.

"Xiao Tao, where are you going! In front of Grandpa Wu, don't you know the rules!" Yue Feng shouted when he saw Xiao Tao getting agitated.

Xiao Tao's hair stood on end, his eyes wide as he cursed, "Fuck them, I'll kill those bastards! These old codgers are tired of living, they don't know how many eyes the Horse King has!"

Wu Keji didn't want Yue Feng to reveal the 'suspect's' name because he was worried that Yue Feng's younger brothers might do something foolish in the heat of the moment. Unexpectedly, Xiao Tao and the Zhang brothers immediately understood after hearing the analysis.

Grandpa Wu shook his head at Xiao Tao and said calmly, "Tao, sit down and relax. They can't run away, so why are you in such a hurry? The angrier you are, the calmer you need to be!"

With just a few casual words from Grandpa Wu, Xiao Tao's burning passion instantly cooled down.

"Sir, this is outrageous! What do you suggest we do next?"

Wu Keji picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water: "Inference is just a reasonable analysis based on existing information. It can only be used as a way of thinking to solve the problem, not as evidence!"

Since everyone is doing well, we now have the initiative! Making rash moves could easily cause us to lose the opportunity!
Alright, everyone sit down, let's continue!

Now, my assumption perfectly explains everything! Next, we need to find a way to verify it!

Yue Feng nodded: "How do we verify this? You tell me!"

Wu Keji said, "It's more difficult to verify other information, but based on our deduction, there's another person following behind your hunting team and Lei Laohu's hunting team. This is quite easy to verify!"
Go up the mountain one more time and see if there are any footprints left by that person in the snow. That will be enough!

After hearing this, Yue Feng nodded: "Okay, then I'll do as you say, let's go up the mountain again! We can also bring down the tents and other supplies that we didn't bring back from the mountain! When do we set off?"

Wu Keji frowned slightly and pondered for a moment: "You mentioned the area near the Dead Pine Forest. If we set off now, can we be back before dark?"

"If you ride your bike into the mountains, you'll definitely be able to come back! The lumberjacks have built a mountain road, and motorcycles can get you to a spot not far from the camp!"

"Then let's set off! Xiaowen and Xiaowu, you two stay home and watch the house! Xiaotao and Xiaofeng, the three of us will go into the mountains together!" Wu Keji made the arrangements immediately.

"Grandpa, there's nothing much going on at home, can I go too?" Xiaowen scratched his head, a little impatient, when he heard that he couldn't go into the mountains.

Wu Keji looked at Xiaowen and said, "We can't leave the house unattended! We should always think of the worst-case scenario. What if the other party finds out that things have been exposed and acts desperately? Although the possibility is small, we can't afford to lose!"

Also, didn't Xiaofeng say that the Ye family's young master also sent people over? Now that we've all left, what are we going to do with them?

We're just going into the mountains to verify some information; more people wouldn't be of much help!

"Alright then! Xiaowu and I will stay home and watch the house!" Xiaowen nodded and remained silent after hearing this.

"Take some dry rations into the mountains. If we get hungry, we can just grab a bite! Don't bring anything else, but make sure you have your weapons and ammunition ready! Let's hurry!" Wu Keji called out again.

The group immediately got to work, getting dressed, preparing, and quickly organizing all the odds and ends, including weapons. Then, the three of them, riding two snowmobiles and accompanied by their dog Canglong, went up the mountain again.

Snowmobiles are much more efficient at traveling in snowy terrain during winter than ordinary three-wheeled military vehicles.

Traveling together on two snowmobiles takes longer than traveling with a mix of three-wheeled motorcycles and snowmobiles.

The three people and the dog entered the mountain at top speed, and then Yue Feng led the way, running wildly straight to the Dead Pine Forest.

The snowmobile drove all the way to the end of the road and then hid in the woods next to it. Yue Feng led the way with the dog and continued on foot.

When we arrived at the campsite near the Dead Pine Forest, it was only one o'clock in the afternoon. The forest was very quiet, as if nothing had happened.

Yue Feng led Wu Keji to the outside of the tent where they would spend the night and said, "Grandpa, we've arrived!"

That day, I realized that the Dead Pine Forest campsite was not safe, so I became suspicious and deliberately told people to move their tents here to spend the night!
"That big tent up ahead is ours. The bodies of those three Russians we killed are still lying inside!"

Wu Keji nodded, his gaze sweeping across the mountains and forests, and soon he had a general idea of ​​the terrain of the surrounding sunny slopes and forests.

He glanced at the location Yue Feng had chosen to set up camp, then at the few large trees that had saved his life at the crucial moment, and nodded with satisfaction: "Alright, you did a good job! My previous instructions to you weren't wasted!"

Yue Feng grinned: "Hehe, that's right! I've set up warning devices outside the camp at three o'clock, five o'clock, and eleven o'clock!"

This trick was the most useful; it saved our lives twice!

Wu Keji nodded in satisfaction: "Let's go into the tent and see what's going on with those white Russians!"

Yue Feng walked at the front, turned sideways to the tent entrance, lifted the curtain, glanced inside, and immediately froze on the spot.

The body is gone?

Wu Keji didn't even look inside; he could guess what was going on just from Yue Feng's expression.

Yue Feng nodded: "Yes! The body is gone!"

Upon hearing that the body was gone, Xiao Tao immediately rushed over: "Damn it! The person was killed, what's the use of stealing the body!"

After saying that, Xiao Tao was about to go inside.

Wu Keji grabbed Xiao Tao and said sternly, "Don't go in! Forget about the tent, set it on fire!"

"Huh?" Xiao Tao was taken aback, and habitually scratched his head, not knowing what the old man meant.

Wu Keji's gaze swept over the subtle drag marks at the tent entrance: "If I were the one following behind the scenes, I would also hide the body!"
The white Russians came to the heart of our mountains and deliberately murdered the hunting team commissioned by the Forestry Bureau. If this matter is elevated to a certain level, Young Master Ye might even be able to manipulate it into an international political issue!
No one can withstand such a heavy accusation!

Now that the body is missing and there is no evidence, that possibility is ruled out!
"Furthermore, if I were a little ruthless, I could set up a trap in the tent, like triggering a booby trap, and the moment someone steps in, there would be a loud bang!" At this point, Grandpa Wu deliberately raised his voice and gestured with his hand, which startled Xiao Tao so much that he immediately shrank back.

"Then let's not go! Who knows if there are any traps or mechanisms! We don't know anything about these things!" Xiao Tao said a little guiltyly.

Wu Keji patted Xiao Tao on the shoulder: "This is just a possibility, it doesn't mean there are actually booby traps inside!"

Look, this tent has at least three or four large holes in the top, back, and bottom. Even if you take it back, it'll be a complete wreck! No matter how you repair it, it won't be as good as new!

As for the bearskin mats laid on the ground, they are stained with too much human blood, have a strong smell, and are difficult to clean. Continuing to carry them into the mountains will easily attract evil spirits!
"Anyway, they're all just worthless belongings, might as well burn them all down and be done with it!"

Yue Feng nodded: "Alright, then we'll do as the old man says! Xiao Tao, go gather some firewood and branches, let's burn this junk!"
"Sir, are you still looking for those three corpses? Even if the other party managed to steal and hide them, they probably couldn't completely eliminate the scent. They had a dog with them. Should we ask Canglong to help us search?"

Wu Keji shook his head: "Those white-skinned people don't care about returning to their roots!"
The person behind them stole the body from here, and most likely burned it somewhere else to destroy the evidence! There's not much useful information left behind!

Since he was capable of stealing a corpse, he must have considered this!

"That's right! So what do we do next? Should we go to a more distant place and look for the footprints of the person who's following us?" Yue Feng continued to ask.

Wu Keji shook his head: "No need to look anymore! Take me to the outskirts of the original camp in the Dead Pine Forest!"

Let's review the sequence of events—the surveillance and the ambush—and see if any escaped!

"Alright! The Dead Pine Forest camp is to the north; we'll have to cross this mountain ridge to see it! Please follow me!"

"Xiao Tao, be careful. I'm going for a stroll with Grandpa over at the Dead Pine Forest!"

Xiao Tao: "Yeah!"

"Let's go!" Yue Feng took the lead and immediately went forward.

For the next hour or so, Yue Feng led Wu Keji on a long walk around the Dead Pine Forest camp.

Wu Keji, a top-notch mountain hunter who had spent most of his life wandering the forest, quickly analyzed the best location and direction for spying and surveillance after a brief look around the Dead Pine Forest camp.

Wu Keji no longer needed Yue Feng to lead him; he walked ahead and surveyed the perimeter of the camp.

Led by Wu Keji, Yue Feng saw the footprints left by the stalkers and followed them to the snowdrift where the other two of the white-skinned Russians' companions were resting.

After observing for a while, Wu Keji nodded: "Judging from the traces, there were three of them! One was in charge of keeping watch, and the other two were doing the work! Look at this complete big footprint, it should be the size 48 you mentioned!"
Judging from their work performance, their skills are quite average!
Those people, they shouldn't be very old, right?

Yue Feng nodded: "They're not that old!"

Wu Keji nodded: "The people from Black Fang's side have suffered great losses at our hands in the past year or two. The organization has lost many experienced hunters, and now there is a bit of a talent gap! These new recruits are not up to par!"
If the ones doing the dirty work are experienced old guys, you guys are in big trouble!

Hearing this, Yue Feng felt a little scared and asked curiously, "Grandpa, if experienced poachers were to do the same job, how would they do it?"

Wu Keji curled his lips: "Even though you were careful and used your brain to choose the location of your tent for the night, you still couldn't completely avoid the risks!"
If I were leading the team, there would be no need to approach the camp and increase the chances of exposure! Nor would there be any need to put myself in danger!

Do you see that thickest pine tree halfway up the shady slope across the way?
All I need to do is climb the tree, and from hundreds of meters away, I can unleash a barrage of fire down on the tent! Even a god would be defeated!

Yue Feng glanced in the direction Grandpa Wu pointed, then mentally rehearsed the scene and instantly felt a chill of fear.

The reason for the opponent's failure was that they triggered the warning mechanism set up by Yue Feng, and hastily opened fire on the tent.

However, the shooting angle was limited at a slightly greater distance, which gave Yue Feng and the others a chance to survive.

If we follow Grandpa Wu's choice, and he climbs up the big tree opposite to fire a barrage of shots from above, there will be no blind spots inside the tent, making it almost certain death.

"This..." Yue Feng's expression changed slightly, and he touched his nose with lingering fear.

Wu Keji waved his hand: "Alright, there's no need to get worked up or scared! Experience isn't accumulated in one go! Just think it over more next time you choose a campsite!"

You've done more than enough. At your age, I'm not even as good as you!

Yue Feng nodded: "Then, sir, shall we head back?"

Smoke was already rising from the tents in the distance, so there was no need to pull things back, giving us more time.

Wu Keji shook his head and said slowly, "No rush. While it's just the two of us and no one else around, I'd like to tell you a few things!"

The person hiding behind them must be in a complete panic right now! They didn't achieve their goal, and both groups were killed in their counterattack!
His most likely option is to hide, disappear, and wait for the storm to pass!
A whole day has passed since you came down the mountain! He should have informed the people behind the scenes by now!
However, I think if Qiao Muzhou were a smart person, he wouldn't have run away! Instead, he would have taken responsibility.

In this way, his son and his connections will have a chance to survive!

Xiao Feng, you're practically half a member of the Wang family now, and your relationship with the Ye family's young master is quite good. When those big shots get serious, dealing with a mere local, insignificant force is like crushing an ant!

Xiaofeng, let me ask you this: if Qiao Muzhou were to hang himself at home now, or turn himself in, would you forgive the others?

Yue Feng was taken aback by Grandpa Wu's question.

He and Xiao Tao suspected that the person behind it might be Qiao Muzhou, but they didn't think about how to handle the final outcome.

Being ambushed in the camp and firing back was a last resort. Now that they have safely descended the mountain, Yue Feng has taken the initiative and has more options and control.

Upon hearing what Grandpa Wu said, Yue Feng was startled and hesitated.

Before Yue Feng could answer, Wu Keji said, "Judging from your reaction, I know you've felt compassion! You think not everyone deserves to die, right?"

Yue Feng nodded; he still held human life in reverence.

Wu Keji said in a serious tone, "You're doing it wrong! You have to nip it in the bud!"
They're trying to kill you. If you still show weakness, it's just womanly compassion. Your family, brothers, even your parents, wife, and children will all suffer the consequences of your soft heart!

Kindness isn't for this kind of situation!
Cutting down the weeds without eradicating the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows!
Listen to me, if it's confirmed that Qiao Muzhou orchestrated this, all his associates must be eliminated without exception! (End of Chapter)
