The Strongest Tycoon

Zhou Caichen quickly packed her things but did not dare to carry too much as she was afraid that others would notice.    

    

She stood in the room and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.    

    

Only then did she pretend to be fine and walk out of the room. She called over Little Mu who was hiding by the side.    

    

After Little Mu nervously walked over, he saw that Zhou Caichen was safe and sound, and there was no movement in the room at all.    

    

A trace of excitement also appeared in the panic.    

    

She did not know what method Zhou Caichen used to deal with the devil inside, but since Zhou Caichen came out, it was a good thing.    

    

Zhou Caichen motioned for Little Mu to not speak and the two of them held hands as they walked out.    

    

But just as they walked out of the outermost door, there were guards who stopped the two of them.    

    

"Where are the two of you going? Where's the King?"    

    

Zhou Caichen said calmly, "The King has drunk too much and needs the sobering soup. I have to finish making it and bring it over."    

    

The guard said, "You all stay inside and cannot go out. I will let the others do it."    

    

Zhou Caichen, however, sneered and said, "I will let you guys do it. Do you know how to do it?"    

    

The sobering soup was very common in the outside world, but no one in this village had seen it before.    

    

Therefore, the guards had nothing to say and could only let Zhou Caichen and Xiao Mu walk out.    

    

He pointed to a house and said, "The kitchen is over there."    

    

Zhou Caichen frowned slightly. She originally wanted to go in another direction.    

    

It was not easy to escape from that position in the kitchen, but under the watch of the guards, she had no other choice but to follow the directions.    

    

After entering the kitchen, Zhou Caichen closed the door and pulled Little Mu to the half-closed window to investigate.    

    

Seeing that the King's room was still very quiet and the guards at the door did not have any intention of going in to check, they heaved a sigh of relief.    

    

To escape from this village, the most difficult thing was not to get rid of the Mountain King, but how to escape without attracting the guards' attention.    

    

Zhou Caichen checked every window in the kitchen and found that the guards outside the village were the most relaxed.    

    

She took Little Mu and smeared a circle of ash on their bodies, causing them to turn black.    

    

With this layer of camouflage in the dark, it was not easy to be discovered.    

    

He did not dare to delay for too long. The two of them opened the window and quietly went out.    

    

Hiding from the patrolling guards along the way, they slowly headed out of the village.    

    

However, just as they were about to approach the village's wall, a noise suddenly came from afar.    

    

"The King has been killed!"    

    

"Someone come quickly!"    

    

"Not good, something has happened! "    

    

"Where did that woman go?"    

    

"She must have done it. Hurry up and find her!"    

    

The matter was finally discovered. It was the guards who saw Zhou Caichen go to make the hangover soup and did not come back after a long time.    

    

So they went to the kitchen to check. Who knew that there was no one inside?    

    

In a great shock, they went back to report to the Mountain King. Who knew that the situation inside was even more frightening.    

    

The strong Mountain King actually drowned in the bathtub. The guards who saw this scene were scared out of their wits and immediately shouted loudly.    

    

With this shout, the entire village became chaotic.    

    

Zhou Caichen and Xiao Mu were so scared that they hid in a dark corner and did not dare to move.    

    

Little Mu was so scared that he almost cried, but he did not dare to make any sound. He only used his hands to cover his mouth.    

    

Zhou Caichen gently patted her back to comfort her. "It's okay, it's okay. We will definitely be able to escape."    

    

Sure enough, the development of the matter was much better than expected.    

    

With such a commotion in the village center, most of the patrolling guards all moved over.    

    

Seeing that this was a rare opportunity, Zhou Caichen and Little Mu immediately started to climb over the wall.    

    

Fortunately, the wall was not very tall, at most less than three meters.    

    

The two of them stepped on something and only took a little effort to climb out.    

    

However, when they landed on the ground, Zhou Caichen accidentally sprained her foot.    

    

She could not help but cry out in pain and reached out to touch it. Realizing that it was not very serious, she endured the pain and dragged Little Mu to quickly run away with a limp.    

    

On the other side of the village, the noise became louder and louder until the entire village was in an uproar.    

    

With the death of the Third King, no one could look down on such a big matter. In addition, Zhou Caichen, who was supposed to be in the same room, was also gone.    

    

Thus, everyone knew that the Mountain King had been killed, and the murderer was most likely Zhou Caichen.    

    

Very soon, the search began. A large number of guards ran out of the village and began to search the outskirts.    

    

At this time, Zhou Caichen did not dare to turn on the lights, afraid of being discovered.    

    

But she was unable to discern the direction in the dark forest. Fortunately, there was still a small tree by her side.    

    

As a native, little Wood had long adapted to this kind of environment.    

    

Under her lead, the two of them quickly found the so-called 'Devil's Cave' where Lin Fan was imprisoned.    

    

The dark night, coupled with the flickering torches in the cave that were constantly swaying in the wind, caused the scene in front of them to have a very terrifying atmosphere.    

    

Xiao Mu, who was standing at the door, hesitated and didn't dare to enter. She had obviously heard of the rumors about this cave.    

    

"Elder sister, I heard that this cave is very dangerous. There are man-eating things inside!" Xiao Mu said with a trembling voice.    

    

Zhou Caichen squatted down and hugged Little Mu. "Since that's the case, don't go in. Find a place to hide first. Don't let those people discover you."    

    

Xiao Mu shook his head. "Sister, you don't want me anymore?"    

    

Zhou Caichen said, "No, sister needs to go in and find big brother. I need to go and save him. Since it is very dangerous inside, you do not need to follow."    

    

Little Mu was only a child. Zhou Caichen did not want to bring her into an unknown and dangerous place.    

    

Compared to the unknown inside the cave, it was safer for Little Mu to stay in the forest outside.    

    

Although there were people searching for them everywhere, little Mu was also very clever. In addition, she was a native who lived here, so hiding in the forest for a night was not a problem.    

    

Moreover, she could return to the tribe by herself after dawn.    

    

However, little Mu was a very loyal child. After thinking for a moment, she said, "No, I'll stay with Big Sister. If I follow you, I can be of some help."    

    

Zhou Caichen was somewhat touched when she heard Xiao Mu's enthusiastic words.    

    

She and Lin Fan were stranded in this desolate land. If not for Xiao Mu's tribe taking them in, they might have lost their lives at some point.    

    

Now that Little Mu had chosen to continue following them, Zhou Caichen didn't try to persuade her anymore. Because time couldn't be delayed, there were still people chasing after them.    

    

Thus, the two of them braced themselves and walked into the cave, searching for Lin Fan's whereabouts.
