It was his life and death!

With an answer, he could live!

Without an answer, he would naturally die!

As for his calm tone…

The more he spoke in such a tone, the more afraid Master Gu was. He was not afraid of the other party being angry or hysterical because this meant that the other party was actually afraid. He was just impulsive and used his impulsiveness.

Only calmness meant that the other party had completely thrown away all of this. Law, consequences, pity, kindness, and so on.

A lunatic was not scary, but a rational lunatic was the most terrifying.

Master Gu gritted his teeth. If word got out that he had betrayed Pig Head Rong, he would definitely be punished. There was no doubt about it. However, if he did not say it now, he might die now.

Which option to choose? This was really not a difficult multiple-choice question.

“There’s a way, there’s a way!” He said hurriedly. “I have Pig Head Rong’s phone number. I can make a call to get information.”

Su Yun nodded in satisfaction and stood up. Master Gu heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly took out his phone from his pocket and dialed. Then, he brought the phone to his ear. The next second, he suddenly let out a scream. “Hiss—Ah!”

Due to his fear, he had forgotten that his left ear had been cut off. Just now, it had touched his wound, causing his entire face to frown. He simply pressed the speaker button with trembling fingers. A dial tone sounded, and then a rough voice sounded. “Hello, who is it?”

A trace of joy flashed across Master Gu’s face. Due to the pain, his voice trembled slightly. “Boss Rong, it’s me, Old Gu!”

“Oh, Master Gu, do you have any good business to take care of?” He could feel Pig Head Rong’s fake enthusiasm through the phone.

“I really have something urgent to discuss with you. Where are you now?” Master Gu said casually.

“I have something to do at Maple Ridge.”

Although Master Gu’s voice was slightly trembling, his tone was very normal. Pig Head Rong did not suspect anything.

“Alright, Boss Rong, go ahead. We’ll talk when you’re done.” Master Gu heaved a sigh of relief.

After hanging up, he looked at Su Yun as if he was presenting a treasure. “He’s at Maple Ridge.”

Su Yun naturally heard Pig Head Rong’s answer. He frowned slightly. Maple Ridge?

Su Yun knew that Maple Ridge was not far from Burning Mountain. According to the time, Pig Head Rong could not have walked far from kidnapping Xu Jiajia to texting. This distance was very suitable.

Moreover, Pig Head Rong probably wouldn’t have guessed that he would directly find Master Gu, let alone that Master Gu would sell Pig Head Rong in less than a minute.

This answer was very likely true. The problem was that the range of Maple Ridge was very large. It stretched for more than ten miles into a huge forest. The hope of finding Pig Head Rong’s location was also slim.

“I need a more accurate location,” he said flatly.

Master Gu wanted to vomit blood. He was not a roundworm in Pig Head Rong’s stomach. Where could he get a more accurate location? However, it was obvious that he did not dare to say this to the demon in front of him. For the sake of his life, Master Gu could only think hard.

“Pig Head Rong’s main business is tomb raiding. They often go into the mountains to look for ancient tombs or something. They must have a place to stay in the mountains. And the Maple Ridge…”

His eyes suddenly lit up. “There’s a stone village on the north side of Maple Ridge. It used to be a bandit’s stronghold. The bandits were exterminated and the stronghold was blown up, but the dilapidated houses inside can still shelter from the wind and rain. Moreover, that place is very hidden and has a wider vision.

“There’s a high chance that Pig Head Rong is there!”

After analyzing the possible location of Pig Head Rong, Master Gu looked at Su

Yun expectantly.

Su Yun nodded in satisfaction.

If they were just backpackers, they could spend the night on the mountain for the time being. A tent would be enough to settle them. However, Pig Head Rong and the others were different. They were tomb raiders. The tomb raiders had many tools. At least, they had a few Luoyang shovels.

If he carried these tools with him, it would be very easy to expose them. He had to store them in an unknown place as a supply stronghold. In addition, Pig Head Rong had also kidnapped Xu Jiajia as a hostage. The hostage also needed a place to be detained and guarded.

The former bandit camp was a good location.

There were many bandits in Hibiscus City in the past. Maple Ridge was a famous bandit nest. However, it had been exterminated by the army decades ago, and the entire Maple Ridge was empty.

Although there were no more bandits, the inertia of their actions was still there. In the past, they were afraid of the bandits in Maple Ridge, but later on, it gradually evolved into a legend and taboo.

Even if the villagers around Maple Ridge had nothing to do, they were unwilling to go deep into Maple Ridge.

Tomb raiders were naturally not afraid of ghosts. It was something they could not ask for more. Especially now that they had kidnapped a hostage.

In addition, since the legend had changed, the original bandit camps were naturally forgotten. After all, no one would remember this thing. Only a few old people would think of this history when they mentioned bandits.

They had probably forgotten the exact location of the camp. Only Master Gu, who had contact with all kinds of people, knew where this location was. Perhaps he had even gone there personally.

As for whether Master Gu would lie to him, Su Yun was not worried.

Master Gu was different from Pig Head Rong and the others. Master Gu was a businessman in essence, and Pig Head Rong was a bandit..
