The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but when he looked at Su Meng and Shen Jian, he seemed to mind.
"I invited these two people to help find Lu Bai. There's no need to avoid them." Lu Bin looked tired.
"Elder Lu, the higher-ups are extremely concerned about Lu Bai's disappearance. The police have already sent out a full-scale search. Why don't you give up on your search? It's really dangerous." Although the man's tone was a little anxious, he still maintained his respect.
Lu Bai was going to be an undercover agent. After he had collected all the information, he contacted the headquarters. However, they did not expect that the signal would be cut off after just a few words. From then on, they could not contact him anymore.
Due to Lu Bai's special identity, only a few higher-ups in the military and the relevant personnel in the police station were aware of this matter. The police were doing their best to search for him, but there was still no news of him.
In fact, he had completely disappeared a month ago, but to Lu Bin, he had been missing for half a year. He had not contacted Lu Bin for half a year. The task force had investigated for so long, but the biggest development was in the vicinity.
"Miss Su already has news. I'm here to bring him back." There was a glimmer of hope in Lu Bin's expression.
"News? This lady?" The middle-aged man looked at Su Meng, his eyes full of disbelief. If they could not even find him, how could this strange woman have any news?
Could it be that this woman had some contact with Lu Bai?
Lu Bin did not explain. Instead, he said, "I want to go to the other side of the river to save Lu Bai. If you want to help, feel free. No matter what, I have to go."
The man had no choice. He could not really let them go by themselves. Regardless of whether they could really find him or not, protecting their safety was the most important thing.
The few of them boarded the boat and crossed the river. On the boat, Su Meng was still giving directions.
The middle-aged man looked at Su Meng who was holding the compass and looking left and right. He finally understood that the person Elder Lu was looking for was actually a fortune-teller.
He had always believed in materialism and the supremacy of science. These things were all scoffed at.
However, with Lu Bin holding the fort, it was not appropriate for him to say anything unpleasant. He could only put on a cold face and did not refute.
Su Meng did not know how long the boat had been sailing for. Anyway, when she was about to get seasick, they finally reached the shore. They were at the foot of the mountain. After looking at the compass for a while, Su Meng pointed in the direction of a forest and said firmly, "We have to go in."
"Are you sure? This is just a forest. There's nothing here." The man was puzzled and did not believe Su Meng's words.
"If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have said that. If you want to find him, just do as I say." Su Meng's tone was firm.
The man was not very satisfied with Su Meng's attitude. In his eyes, Su Meng was just a little girl. He frowned and said, "We've already searched the entire area, but we haven't found him at all. How can you be sure that he's here?"
"Listen to her." After Lu Bin said that, he lifted his foot and was about to walk into the depths of the forest.
The man immediately walked up to him and stopped him, with a deep expression, he whispered in Lu Bin's ear, "Elder Lu, this is not a small matter. Let's not talk about whether we can really find him. Let's talk about whether our enemies will alert the enemy. There are too many things to pay attention to."
"You have to believe us. Lu Bai is our comrade-in-arms. He has been sacrificing himself for the stability of the country. The country will definitely not abandon him."
"When Lu Bai disappeared, there was a GPS chip implanted in his body, but even the GPS had disappeared. How could a little girl like her find him so easily? Could it be that with the compass in her hand, she can do it, but no one else can do it?"
"There are too many people who have ulterior motives. You must not be deceived by some people."
He knew Lu Bin's current mood, so he did not say it clearly, but he believed that Lu Bin could understand.
"I know your concerns. It's fine. Anyway, I can't control your police force, and you don't have the obligation to help me. If you don't believe me, you can go back. Thank you for the escort. We can handle the rest ourselves." Lu Bin didn't want to step back at all. He was willing to take the risk in order to save Lu Bai.
However, saving his grandson was his own business. Su Meng was Old Guo's granddaughter. He couldn't drag her into such a dangerous operation. If anything happened to her, he wouldn't have the face to see Old Guo in the future.
