It was only then that Maddie realized that what he was so proud of was just bait for someone else to use as bait.

He breathed a sigh of relief. He had made so many wrong decisions that had killed so many people, but this time, he had finally made the right decision.

He replied, "I do."

Richard's decision to accept Maddie wasn't entirely impulsive; he genuinely needed someone to pave the way for him.

This person doesn't have to be one of us, but they absolutely cannot be afraid of death.

He wasn't worried about the other party turning against him, because someone was watching him.

After Richard and Guan Fulin met up, Guan Fulin glanced at Maddie, didn't ask any questions, and said, "Hank and the others have left. When do we make our move?"

This was said to Madi.

Guan Fulin wasn't stupid; he knew there were outsiders present, so they couldn't reveal their true plans.

Richard nodded and said to Madi, "In a little while, could you go and inform Sun Chengwu to bring his men to meet us?"

He was three kilometers ahead of us.

Once you deliver the message, you'll be one of us.

Xiao Wu is a person who always repays kindness. If you help him, he will definitely not treat you unfairly.

Maddie's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the mountains in front of him, asking, "Is it over there?"

Richard nodded. "Yes, they're over there. If you go and don't see them, keep going north. They might be not far to the north."

Madi had no doubts. It was only three kilometers, and even though it was nighttime, it was a good opportunity to build goodwill.

He immediately agreed, "Okay!"

Richard gave him a backpack. "Inside is a fire tumbler, about a week's worth of food, a change of clothes for warmth, shoes, socks, and other necessities."

Take this with you, just in case.

Madi said confidently, "It's only three kilometers. Even if they're not there anymore, it's only five kilometers. If I'm fast, I can get there in half a day."

If it weren't for this heavy snow, it would only take me an hour to travel just five kilometers.

Richard gave a meaningful smile. "Hehe, take it with you. If something unexpected happens, the things in here can save your life."

Richard opened his backpack and deliberately showed him a short knife.

In the Arctic, an iron weapon is a gift that no one can refuse.

Maddie's eyes lit up. "Then I'll take it with me."

Richard nodded and reminded him, "You must find Xiao Wu and tell him what's going on here."

Maddie, unsuspecting, agreed.

After Maddie left, Richard and Guan Fulin exchanged a glance.

Guan Fulin finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Li, what's going on? Why did you give him so much stuff and tell him to go find Brother Wu?"

Isn't Brother Wu at the camp?

How could it be five kilometers away?

Richard frankly admitted, "I was lying to him."

Guan Fulin was stunned. "Huh?"

Richard explained, "If Hank has a problem, then he must have been sent by Hank, and he will pass the message back."

By following them, we can uncover their plot in advance.

If Hank is innocent, and this person was sent by Lando after she discovered his true intentions, he will also fall into the trap.

If he has no problems, and can't find anyone three kilometers away, he will keep walking forward.

In a little while, you and your men will follow him. If there is any danger ahead, he will be the first to encounter it, and you will be safer.

If he goes back, stop him. That should prove his innocence. Then you can take him back with you.

Guan Fulin stared at Richard, looking incredulous. "Wait, Brother Li, when did you become so cunning?"

Richard smiled. "Having followed Xiao Wu for so long, you should have learned something, shouldn't you?"

Guan Fulin thought back and realized that Richard's cunning and scheming appearance was exactly the same as Sun Chengwu's.

He didn't think that much about it at all.

Richard urged, "Alright, stop standing there in a daze. Order two of your brothers to come back with you. Make sure they bring enough food. Leave this to me."

Staying would be riskier.

If Hank betrays them and finds out they only have ten men, he'll definitely turn around and devour them.

Guan Fulin said, "Brother Li, why don't you go back and I'll stay?"

Richard said sternly, "Just go back. Stop with the nonsense. What are you going to do here? Can you handle things if something happens?"

Guan Fulin said confidently, "We can handle it."

Richard didn't use much force, but kicked him lightly. "You fool, instead of running away, you're going to fight back. Are you just going to be left to die?"

Stop wasting my breath and get your men back. We'll fall behind that kid soon.

Guan Fulin knew that Richard was thinking of him. They had all lived together for so long, so there was no need to say more about gratitude.

Guan Fulin selected two people and solemnly said, "Brother Li, take care and protect yourself."

Richard nodded.

By this time, Madi had already walked quite a distance.

He looked around, then suddenly turned around and saw that no one was following him.

He walked into the woods, took off his pants, and relieved himself.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind me.

Maddie quickly shook himself, and before he could even pull up his pants, he heard Hank ask coldly, "Why are you taking so long to get back?"

Maddie was so frightened that he trembled on his pants. He quickly wiped his hands with his hands and then wiped his hands on his clothes before turning around and saying guiltily, "Boss, I also want to come back as soon as possible, but they won't let me go."

Look at my hands…

He showed Hank the marks on his hands, saying, "They won't let me come back."

Hank didn't say much, but asked, "How many of them came?"

Madi's eyes darted around. "I'm not too sure either. There were a lot of people, and they all avoided me when they spoke. I only know so much."

Hank hummed in agreement, then asked, "Is Sun Chengwu inside?"

Madi replied, "He should be here. I heard them calling him Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu. They must be talking about Sun Chengwu."

Hank breathed a sigh of relief.

He was gambling too.

If Sun Chengwu doesn't cooperate with him and instead leaks the information to Lando, he'll be in danger.

It seems that my ally is quite reliable now.

Both sides are testing each other.

Hank didn't trust Sun Chengwu either. He had also made two preparations: if Sun Chengwu wanted to harm him, he would immediately turn against him and detain Sun Chengwu first.

If you can't catch him, catch him by his side.

Then he presented it to Lando and told her that it was all just a scheme, not a real betrayal.

If Sun Chengwu arrives, then proceed as planned: kill Lando first and seize control of the camp.

Maddie was once bullied terribly by Lando. If it weren't for Lando speaking up for him, Maddie would have been dead long ago.

Therefore, he never suspected that Maddie would lie to him.

Hank said, "Alright, you can go back to the team now."

Madi shook his head and refused, "No, I have to keep going. Sun Chengwu asked me to help notify his people to meet up together, but not all of them are together."

If I rejoin the team and don't go back, they'll definitely suspect me.
