Although Chen Yang was angry and upset in his heart, he could still differentiate the importance of things.

"I don't have a problem helping, as long as that fool keeps quiet, I can guarantee that Wang Cai will definitely find it." Chen Yang glared at the guy and said.

"You..."

Upon hearing Chen Yang call him a fool, the man was about to react immediately.

But was ultimately deterred by Team Leader Qin's glare and did not retaliate.

"Don't worry about that; we'll cooperate fully later." Tan Jing saw that Chen Yang was not too angry and silently breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Right now, Chen Yang was the only one who could find the criminals. If Chen Yang refused to help, the hostage would be truly in danger.

Fortunately, Chen Yang wasn't too calculative and didn't bother with that guy.

"Hmm."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, then brought Wang Cai back.

Tan Jing also brought the branded handbag and placed it on the ground for Wang Cai to sniff hard.

After sniffing for about a minute, Wang Cai stopped.

He then raised his head and walked toward the mountain.

The group saw Wang Cai's actions and became a bit excited.

It was clear that Wang Cai had found a clue.

"Everyone, follow, but keep quiet, and don't make too much noise." Chen Yang said softly, then took the lead and followed Wang Cai.

"Half of you stay here, the other half come with me." Tan Jing cooperated, knowing the noise couldn't be too loud, and immediately selected only half of the people to go up the mountain with Chen Yang.

Originally, Tan Jing didn't plan to take that man.

The attitude wasn't the main issue; the problem was he could delay things.

But as a relative, he insisted on going up with them, so there was no choice but for him to join them.

Chen Yang and Wang Cai took the lead, bringing eight or nine uniformed officers plus that man up the mountain.

This forest, because it was rarely traversed by anyone, had paths almost entirely covered by shrubs and weeds.

Chen Yang often went up the mountains, so he was used to such paths.

Although Tan Jing and the others felt uncomfortable, fortunately, they were physically fit and could manage.

But that man suffered.

From his attire and the brands he wore, it was obvious he was a spoiled rich kid.

He had never walked such a difficult, rugged mountain path.

Not long after starting the climb, he couldn't take it anymore.

He was walking while gasping heavily.

Clearly, he was almost at his limit.

Hearing the gasping, Chen Yang couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Seeing it came from that man, he couldn't help but frown.

The look of disgust was unhidden, and there was no reason to hide it.

Though disgusted at heart, Chen Yang didn't say much and kept leading Tan Jing and the others deeper into the forest.

Wang Cai kept exploring the scent on the ground.

From Wang Cai's demeanor and actions, Chen Yang could tell that there was indeed a clue; otherwise, Wang Cai wouldn't be so serious.

Tan Jing noticed this too, which made her very excited.

"Chen Yang, Wang Cai really lives up to his name; even our police dogs can't compare." Tan Jing hurried to catch up with Chen Yang and said with a smile.

Chen Yang smiled and nodded, "Wang Cai often goes into the mountains with me to find herbs, and the training he has received is actually no less than that of your police dogs."

Wang Cai's abilities are actually innate, being a spirit beast, after all.

Chen Yang said it like this just to find a reasonable explanation.

Tan Jing was initially curious about Wang Cai's skills, but after hearing Chen Yang, she just nodded her head and didn't ask further.

Following Wang Cai for more than half an hour, they finally entered the depths of the mountains.

Those criminals were certainly cautious, hiding very deeply; there was still no sign of human activity around here.

From Wang Cai's expression, Chen Yang estimated there was still some distance from the criminals.

Hence, there was no thought of resting; instead, they wanted to pursue relentlessly and find the criminals in one go.

But at that moment, the man surnamed Qian started causing trouble again.

Having walked all this way, he was exhausted and, seeing nothing substantial had been found, became furious.

"Just what are you doing, relying on a mongrel instead of a police dog? When will we find anything this way?" The man plopped down on the grass and began to complain.

His sudden commotion attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone turned around in unison to look at the man.

Upon hearing his complaints, they all frowned.

Fundamentally, finding the criminals was to rescue the hostage.

Which was to save his fiancée.

None of the police officers complained about being tired, yet he was the one complaining. What was this about?

"If you don't want to go, you can stay at the foot of the mountain. Why insist on coming and now find it troublesome, what do you mean?" Tan Jing couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to confront the man.

The man was full of resentment, as if he had some enormous grievance.

"I'm here for my fiancée, not to follow this guy wandering aimlessly like a headless chicken. I feel like he is playing us." The man pointed at Chen Yang and Wang Cai and said loudly.

Chen Yang had never wronged this guy, truly not understanding where this immense resentment came from.

Facing the accusations, Chen Yang felt genuinely displeased.

Helping such a fool was truly a waste of effort.

"Can you just shut up! Wang Cai obviously found something, and yet you stand here complaining? On what grounds do you say Wang Cai is playing you, how does it benefit him?" Tan Jing couldn't take it anymore and directly reproached the man without a trace of politeness.

Yet the man was purely a rascal, unwilling to argue with Tan Jing but adamant about one thing; he wouldn't continue the journey.

"Then just don't come, stay here quietly, and we'll take you down with us when we return." Tan Jing didn't have the slightest regard for him anymore.

Hearing his words, she was not only not angry but even relieved.

Without him, things would surely proceed much more smoothly.

Yet unexpectedly, this guy was utterly unreasonable.

Not only did he refuse to continue, but he even made a shameless request.

"I can wait here, but you'll have to leave a couple of people with me, right? In these deep mountains, what if something happens to me?" The man stated as if it was common sense.

"You..."

Tan Jing was furious, almost to the point of murderous intent.

How did this guy have the nerve to make such a demand?

"Mr. Qian, you're going too far. Making such a demand at this critical moment, do you think it's appropriate?" Even Team Leader Qin, who had been holding back, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke out.

"Well, I don't care. You should be responsible for me, right? Isn't it dangerous for me alone in these deep mountains? What if a beast jumps out, would I survive?" The man continued as if it was the most reasonable thing to say.

"You..." Tan Jing was genuinely angry, clenching her fists with the urge to teach this guy a lesson.

But she was stopped by Chen Yang.
