Zhou Shitao did not find out why Gao Yuyuan and Oil Rat went to Xiangxi, but they did mention in their phone call that they would meet at the Miao Village.
This is also one of the main reasons why Huo Sining brought Qibao to the Miao Village. Because Oil Rat had the Thousand-Mile Guider placed on him by Qibao, once Oil Rat got close, Qibao would definitely sense it.
Now hearing that the mountain chief received a call and addressed the person on the other end as Mr. Gao, Huo Sining immediately had a strong intuition that the caller was definitely the Gao Yuyuan they were looking for.
This is what it means to search high and low to no avail, only to find it without any effort. They had been through so much trouble to find these people, and unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the Miao Village, Oil Rat and Gao Yuyuan came rushing to cast themselves into the net.
