"In the middle of the night like this, it doesn't seem right to go down there looking for people…"
The bodyguards Jih Yunxiao had brought spoke up.
With a blank expression, Jih Yunxiao said, "Find a place to land first."
"Yes, Mr. Jih, I'll inform the pilot."
"Mm."
Ten-odd minutes later, the plane landed on what used to be woods, now burned clean into a huge bald patch of open ground.
Once the plane came to a stop and Jih Yunxiao got off, he could smell the scorched stench still lingering all around.
Late at night, it really wasn't easy to look for people.
Besides, it had burned to this extent; even if anyone had been here, they'd have been burned away long ago.
"Mr. Jih…" One of the bodyguards began, then hesitated.
Jih Yunxiao swept a glance over the pitch-black surroundings where nothing could be seen, and said in a complicated tone, "Got any smokes?"
"Yes."
"Give me one."
Jih Yunxiao was not a smoker, but right now he suddenly wanted one.
