"That's because my older brother forbade her from talking to anyone while she was in the hospital. Whoever she talked to, he would kill them, and then she had to pretend she couldn't move..."
"..."
"Have you decided where to meet?" Xiaobai stood up, dusted herself off, and asked.
"I'll have to wait until things are settled with my older brother... He's very suspicious; if he finds out I'm in trouble, he'll definitely disappear with that girl, and you won't be able to catch him!" the short man cried. "And Grandma Admiral, there are many more children in our base who have been kidnapped! If you want to save them, you have to spare my life!!!"
"I see."
Xiao Bai nodded and withdrew her gaze from the short man.
A thoughtful light appeared in Xiaobai's eyes.
Chapter 3694 Infiltration
late at night.
In the fishing port of Shenzhen, a small fishing boat is seen with the waves gently rolling.
The harbor was quiet, as darkness enveloped everything.
A moment later, the sound of a lighter flashed through the darkness, a wisp of orange-red flame ignited, and then white smoke rose.
The tall man leaned against the warehouse, smoking a cigarette and looking at his watch through the faint light from the cigarette butt.
The man's face was stern, his eyes cold, as he stared intently at the second hand of his watch.
Just as the second hand completed its final revolution, a cold glint flashed in the tall man's eyes. He stubbed out his cigarette, stuffed it into his pocket, and then got up to board the ship.
Just now.
At the other end of the fishing port, a call rang out.
"Big brother—I'm late, big brother—over here!!!"
Upon hearing the sound, the tall man immediately flipped over and jumped into the fishing boat. He lay coldly beside the boat, watching the situation on the shore.
The tall man's icy expression softened slightly when he saw a familiar figure carrying a sack, panting, running into view, and when he felt no discomfort in the surroundings.
The tall man stood up, raised his hand, turned on his lighter, and flicked the flame twice in the darkness.
The short man in the distance quickly noticed the firelight and immediately ran towards it.
"Big brother, big brother! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm late!" The short man arrived at the fishing boat, panting, and bowed to the tall man to apologize.
"Why so late? Didn't we agree to meet here at 12:30 on the phone?" The tall man looked coldly at the short man. A sliver of moonlight swept across the two of them, and the tall man noticed the redness and swelling on the short man's face. He frowned immediately, became wary, and bent over to reach inside his clothes and look around. "...What happened to the injury on your face? How did you get it? Why didn't you tell me on the phone?"
"Don't worry, boss, there are no cops," the shorter man said immediately upon seeing the taller man's reaction.
"..." The tall man remained motionless, merely staring coldly at the short man.
"Well, there was a little hiccup on the way back, and I didn't explain it clearly to you on the phone before..." The short man said, lifting the burlap sack behind him to the front, squatting down and untying the sack's rope as he spoke. "Brother, look..."
The tall man watched as the short man opened the sack.
The sack is unfolded.
The short man pulled open the sack, revealing a petite girl with white hair, her hands and feet bound together, her mouth sealed with the sack.
Upon seeing the girl in the sack, the tall man paused for a moment. The wariness in his eyes disappeared, but it quickly turned into tension.
"You idiot! You made your move at this time?!" the tall man roared. "Didn't you hear me tell you to keep a low profile?!"
"Brother, I want to keep a low profile, but... but look..." The short man immediately knelt on the ground, feeling wronged. He pushed the girl out of the sack and showed her face to the tall man. "Look at me, brother, this face, this skin, this figure, how gorgeous! This girl is so beautiful, and she was so light when we carried her over, she must be worth a lot! This one is worth more than a dozen of the previous ones!"
"..." The tall man's anger paused slightly upon seeing the girl's appearance, then subsided abruptly, but quickly returned to its darkened state. "You've never done this kind of work before; you'll leave a trace..."
"Brother, don't worry, she went to the park to play by herself and I caught her! Just now when we were on the phone!"
"...Are you sure you didn't leave any clues?"
"Absolutely not!"
"What about the surrounding security cameras and pedestrians?"
"Nothing at all, it's all very dark, perfect timing and location!"
"...And this injury on your head?"
"Uh... this little girl did it."
“…Useless.” The tall man snorted coldly, but said nothing more. He simply boarded the ship and said coldly, “I’ll spare your life this time because you were obedient before. Don’t cause any trouble next time. I rarely feel like letting someone off the hook.”
"Hey……"
The shorter man sensed the coldness in the taller man's words and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
But just after the tall man turned around, the short man's cold sweat finally stopped. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at the sack, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Once aboard the fishing boat, the tall man steered it forward, away from the harbor.
The fishing boats gradually moved away from Shenzhen, and eventually Shenzhen and its light were swallowed up by darkness.
After darkness fell, the tall man stepped out of the cockpit and sat down in front of the short man.
"Give it to me." The tall man gestured with his chin to the sack placed next to the short man.
Upon hearing this, the shorter man quickly picked up the sack and handed it to the taller man.
“…It’s light.” The tall man placed the sack in front of him, untied it, and revealed the girl inside.
The girl was unconscious. She looked frail and was restrained. Her mouth was sealed with a tape. Her white hair was still smooth and not messy even after being tossed around in the sack all night. And the moment the sack was opened, a fresh and elegant fragrance wafted out.
The tall man coldly observed the girl's condition. He took out a wooden stick and reached into the sack to check if there were any other items inside. Then he nodded, picked her up along with the sack, and threw her into the stern of the fishing boat.
After finishing his work, the tall man sat down in front of the short man.
"Tell me what happened after you left the hospital, and what you found in the hospital," the tall man said, lighting a cigarette for himself.
"..." The short man swallowed hard, then asked hesitantly, "Leave the hospital? Leaving the hospital means..."
……
On the calm water, only the short man's soft voice could be heard. The tall man opposite him quietly smoked and listened to what the short man was saying.
The stern of the fishing boat.
The white-haired girl was thrown into the rear cabin along with the sack, making a thud.
The rear cabin was filled with smoke and dust.
In the corner of the rear cabin, another frail girl, also restrained and sealed with tape, was startled and her legs trembled.
This frail young girl is none other than "Miao Yan," who went missing from the hospital.
When she left the hospital, she looked weak and her expression was somewhat gloomy. There were even some bruises on her face from being punched, and blood was swollen at the corner of her mouth.
The thin girl raised her eyes and looked at the open sack in front of her, a look of sorrow flashing across her eyes.
But soon, the sorrow in the thin girl's eyes vanished.
Because she saw another girl emerge from the sack, with a distinctive head of long white hair and a delicate, flawless face.
While the frail girl was still in a daze, the white-haired girl, who should have been unconscious, opened her eyes and smiled slightly at the frail girl.
Then, under the gaze of the frail girl, the white-haired girl made a shushing gesture towards the corner of her mouth before closing her eyes.
"..." The frail girl.
……
The tall man and the short man interrogated each other at the bow of the boat for almost the entire night.
Just as the short man had told Xiaobai before, the tall man was naturally suspicious and always wanted to get to the bottom of things when he was in doubt, so that he could feel at ease.
Fortunately, Xiaobai had anticipated this. Before infiltrating as a trafficked girl, she had already rehearsed her statements with the short man and polished the fabricated scenes to make them very reasonable and coherent.
That's why they say short men arrive so late.
Because in the preceding time, the short man had been familiarizing himself with the statement that Xiao Bai had given him.
the next morning.
It's light.
After a night of drifting, the fishing boat carrying four people arrived in an unfamiliar city.
In terms of time distance, this place is not far from Shenzhen, but its level of development is far inferior to that of Shenzhen. It is a small county town with a very small area and an even smaller scale.
Before the fishing boat docked, the tall man went into the aft cabin.
After a night of questioning, the tall man seemed to have dispelled his suspicions. As soon as he entered the back cabin, he pulled up the sack containing Xiaobai, shook the sack, and coldly spoke to Xiaobai.
"It's time to wake up."
"..." Xiaobai slowly opened her eyes, looking at the tall man with a confused expression.
“You’re the one who came to our ward before…” The tall man stared at Xiaobai’s face and slowly said, “I didn’t want to make a move on you, but you’re unlucky. Don’t blame us. I’m giving you a heads-up: you can’t go home now. Crying won’t help, and screaming won’t help. The place you’re about to go will be your home.”
Xiao Bai was about to speak.
The tall man immediately raised his hand, holding a handkerchief smeared with pungent chemicals, and covered Xiaobai's mouth and nose for ten seconds.
Xiaobai felt a strong choking sensation in her nose, and her nose tip was itchy; she really wanted to sneeze.
But Xiaobai quickly realized that this might be one of those props in TV dramas where you can cover your mouth and make someone faint.
So Xiaobai glanced at the tall man and, sure enough, saw a hint of confusion in his eyes.
The next second, Xiaobai pretended to roll her eyes and closed them.
The tall man covered Xiaobai's mouth and nose for another half minute before letting go.
Xiao Bai fell to the ground.
The tall man looked at the handkerchief in his hand with a puzzled expression.
"...The medicine expired? It took so long to take effect..."
After dealing with Xiaobai, the tall man went to Miaoyan and used the same method to make her faint. This time, Miaoyan fainted very early because she was genuinely unconscious, while Xiaobai was only faking it.
After knocking Xiaobai and Miaoyan unconscious, the tall man put them into a sack, and the fishing boat then docked.
Xiao Bai clearly felt himself and Miao Yan hugging each other. The two of them were lifted to a flat piece of land, and then they heard the rumbling of wheels under them, bumping along the way, going uphill and downhill.
Xiao Bai, inside the bag, released the Admiral's Network to observe the surroundings.
The surrounding environment was indeed quite dilapidated, with potholes in the streets and the buildings all around being quite old. Apart from small earthen buildings, there were only some small mud houses and brick houses, and the people sitting on the streets seemed to be doing nothing.
Chapter 3695 Arrival at the Village
Clatter, clatter, clatter...
The road was full of potholes, and the "wooden cart" that Xiaobai and Miaoyan were in was extremely bumpy. The two of them were pushed up and down in the sack by the swaying "wooden cart". The two hugged each other and intertwined their arms and legs. Xiaobai could clearly feel the sharp touch of Miaoyan's thin body joints pressing against his body with each bump.
Miao Yan is so thin...
After such a bumpy ride, if I didn't have the support of the ship's equipment, my body would probably be covered in bruises from Miao Yan's joints.
Xiao Bai silently felt the impact emanating from Miao Yan's body and thought to himself.
Miao Yan was still fast asleep in the sack. Even in her sleep, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her already weak breathing came and went with the swaying, making it a heart-stopping sight.
Fortunately, although Xiaobai's body is not as curvaceous and full as the ship girls at home, at least her body is very healthy, and her skin and joints are very elastic and soft to the touch.
With his physical condition, if he were to act as a human cushion for Miao Yan in the car, there wouldn't be any fear that she would get injured under such strong jolts.
While trying to hug Miao Yan inside the sack, Xiao Bai used the Admiral's Network to survey the surrounding environment, and also listened to the conversation between the two men of different heights in front of the car.
During Xiaobai's investigation through the admiral's network, it was discovered that the means of transportation she and Miao Yan were using was actually an oxcart.
An old brown man was pulling a square-shaped cart, slowly moving forward on the bumpy road. The sacks that Xiaobai and Miaoyan were in were placed on the cart, which was covered with several layers of thick hay to cover them.
The tall man sat cross-legged in the driver's seat of the vehicle, wearing a straw hat and hemp clothing, holding a cattle whip, occasionally lashing the old ox's rump. The short man next to him wore an eye patch, his hands cuffed, and sat obediently in the haystack.
This scene was exactly as the short man had described to Xiaobai.
Only the tall man knew the exact location of the human trafficking base. The short man had a low status in the organization, so when he went out, he could only wear a blindfold and handcuffs and let the tall man take him in and out.
"Brother, how much longer until we reach the village?"
The short man's voice came over.
"Don't ask, it's not something you need to know." The tall man picked up his cattle whip and lashed the cow's rump, saying calmly.
"Oh, oh... okay..." The short man was silent for a moment, then asked again, "Brother... you, you said... if the supervisors find out that I took it upon myself to bring back a little girl..."
"So now you know fear?" the tall man snorted.
