After a cursory clean-up of the site, Huo Jingrui had the captured enemy agents' hands tied behind their backs, strung together like a skewer of candied hawthorns. This made them easier to watch over.
Turning to Qiao Wenyu, who was supporting Wei Zijia, he asked, "Do you need me to arrange for someone to look after you two?"
Qiao Wenyu shook his head. "No need, I'll carry her down the mountain myself."
Standing by, Zheng Xuewen also spoke up, "He's tired. I'll take over for him."
Qiao Wenyu shot his good friend a glare. "She's my girlfriend; I'll take care of her myself."
Huo Jingrui, intending to teach Qiao Wenyu a lesson, gave him an inscrutable look and said, "Gather your things. Prepare to head down the mountain."
The enemy agents walked in the middle, flanked by the soldiers and armed personnel on the mission.
The large contingent then proceeded down the mountain.
