Bo Jingzhou frowned slightly, his eyes showing a hint of solemnity.

Zhang Suo whispered, "Boss Bo, I think this is strange. Don't listen to Xiao Hengyu and risk your life looking for treasure. If that doesn't work, we can take advantage of the opportunity to kill them at night and seize their equipment and vehicles..."

A hint of coldness flashed in Zhang Suo's eyes.

Anyway, this is in an uninhabited area, so there is no need to be polite to them. After all, they have no good intentions. In order to survive, we have to use some special means when necessary.

Bo Jingzhou's eyes narrowed, and after thinking for a moment, he replied, "Wait a minute, and see what happens to those people first."

He also wanted to know whether those people could really bring back the treasure successfully. For the time being, it was better to control his temper and wait and see.

Zhang Suo nodded: "Yes, but as long as you give the order, Mr. Bo, I will kill them immediately."

The conversation between the two did not attract much attention. Xiao Hengyu was giving instructions to the four people at this time.

He looked serious, and from time to time he gestured on the map with his fingers, as if emphasizing some key routes and precautions.

After that, he waved his hand and asked them to set out to explore for treasure.

Those people were fully equipped, carrying professional ropes and lighting tools on their backs, and various detection instruments on their waists. They looked like they were well prepared.

Everyone looked at the backs of those people walking away, each with their own thoughts.

Soon, the time came to night.

The entire no-man's land seemed to be shrouded in a huge black curtain, and the surroundings were so quiet that it was a bit eerie.

The old man looked at the sky and slowly said, "They won't be back soon. You can stay here tonight. I happen to have two extra rooms."

Xiao Hengyu listened, nodded slightly, and said, "Sorry to bother you, old man. I hope your house is safe enough. If anything happens, I will only ask you for help."

There was still a hint of arrogance in his tone. Although he was living here temporarily, he still did not forget to put on a superior attitude. At the same time, he was secretly warning the old man not to do anything in secret.

The old man just smiled and didn't respond to his words. He turned and walked towards the house, saying as he walked: "Come with me. Although the room is simple, it can be used for one night."

Everyone followed the old man into the house. The dim lights in the house came on, dispelling some of the darkness, but still making people feel a little depressed.

The two rooms, one slightly larger and the other slightly smaller, seemed to have been temporarily cleaned up, with the beds covered with some old bedding. However, in this uninhabited area, it was rare to have such accommodation conditions.

Xiao Hengyu spoke first, "Boss Bo, you and your people can stay in the smaller room. I'll stay in the larger one. After all, I don't want to be wronged."

Bo Jingzhou ignored his provocation and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as I can rest."

As he spoke, he looked at Su Yutang, winked at her calmly, and said softly, "Let's make do tonight. You can stay in the same room with me."

Su Yutang understood what he meant and looked at Bo Jingzhou. Seeing the deep meaning in his eyes, she nodded immediately.

Zhang Suo took the initiative to say, "Boss Bo, Madam, you two should rest first. I'll go guard outside. I'm tough, so I can just find a place to sleep for the night."

After saying that, Zhang Suo went out and sat down on a stone at the door.

As for the people Xiao Hengyu brought with him, they also planned to sleep in the car for one night.

Xiao Hengyu stood there, watching Su Yutang and Bo Jingzhou enter the small room, his brows furrowed.

Bo Jingzhou seemed to have noticed Xiao Hengyu's gaze. He turned his head to look at him and said calmly, "Xiao Hengyu, you should go to bed early too."

After saying that, he took Su Yutang into the small room and then gently closed the door.

Xiao Hengyu's face darkened. He clenched his fists secretly, snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the big room.

With a "bang", the door was slammed shut. The sound seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night.

After entering the small room, Su Yutang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yutang looked around. The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a small single bed, a shabby cabinet, and a small table. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

She whispered, "What did you want to tell me just now?"

Su Yutang raised her eyes to look at Bo Jingzhou. She knew that Bo Jingzhou had just winked at her to go into the same room with him. He must have something to tell her. Now that there was no one around, she asked.

Bo Jingzhou's eyes flickered as he responded, "It's nothing, actually. I just feel this place is unsafe. It would be better for me to stay in the same room with you so that I can look after you. This way I feel more at ease."

"......" Su Yutang was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

Bo Jingzhou continued, "But don't worry too much. Zhang Suo is guarding outside. We'll know if there's any movement. You can rest for a while. I'll be by your side."

Su Yutang frowned and said with a worried look on her face, "How can I sleep? I'm so worried. I don't know how those people who went treasure hunting are doing now. And Xiao Hengyu, he definitely won't give up so easily."

There was worry in her eyes, and various possible dangerous scenarios kept flashing through her mind. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

Seeing this, Bo Jingzhou walked over to the bed and sat down, comforting him, "No matter what, we'll face it together. There's no point in thinking too much now. First, get your spirits together so that you can deal with what comes next."

After hearing his words, Su Yutang felt a little more at ease. She looked at Bo Jingzhou, hesitated for a moment, and said, "How about you stay with me for one night? You haven't had a good sleep in a few days. I feel this place is safe and nothing will happen."

A few days ago, no one dared to sleep outdoors. They were either worried about wild animals appearing or worried about being trapped in an uninhabited area and unable to return. Their nerves were tense all the time, so they were in bad spirits. Now it is extremely rare to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

She also couldn't bear to see Bo Jingzhou guarding her all the time without even taking a break.

After hearing her words, Bo Jingzhou subconsciously glanced at the small bed. Seeing Su Yutang's concerned eyes, he swallowed the words of refusal that were about to come to his lips.

He knew that Su Yutang had no other intentions, and to be honest, he was indeed exhausted. The running around and fatigue of these days had already taken a toll on his body. The opportunity to have a good rest at this moment was really tempting.

"Well... okay." Bo Jingzhou finally nodded and agreed.

He stood up and first moved the only chair in the room to prop up the door, then checked whether the window was closed tightly. After taking all these precautions, he returned to the bed.

Su Yutang moved further into the bed to make room for Bo Jingzhou, and the two of them lay down side by side.

Because the bed was too small, the two of them had to squeeze together very close to each other.

It felt a bit cramped to lie down on it, and the moment I moved, the space felt even more cramped.
