Upon hearing this, Duan Ye smiled and said, "Yes, since we're already here, why not go?"

Upon entering the village, the first thing you see is a small shop.

Duan Ye walked straight over and said, "Boss, four bottles of Red Bull, please."

The owner smiled kindly and handed them their drinks: "Okay, that'll be twenty-eight yuan in total."

While paying, Duan Ye asked, "I'd like to ask, where does Yang Hao live?"

Xiao Wu was stunned. Was he going to play it straight?

The boss paused for a moment, then asked, "Who are you looking for, Yang Hao?"

Duan Ye calmly replied, "We are his friends, here to check on his mother. We were also planning to go to the market in Yangjia Village to buy some rice and flour..."

Luo An: "Yes, boss, could you also tell me where the market is?"

The shopkeeper's eyes darted around, then he smiled: "Look, just keep walking this way, and you'll reach Yang Hao's house. There's a market in the middle, and it's still early, so there are vegetable vendors on both sides of the road..."

Duan Ye: "Thank you, boss."

The shopkeeper quickly waved his hand, "You're welcome, you're welcome. It's just that Yang Hao hasn't come back for many years, leaving his elderly mother all alone. It's truly pitiful..."

"By the way, sir, you are Yang Hao's friends. Do you know when Yang Hao will be back?"

Luo An: "We haven't seen him for a long time. I was passing through on a business trip recently, so I took the opportunity to visit his elderly mother."

The shop owner laughed heartily: "Oh, I see. Well, you guys hurry up and go. At this hour, his elderly mother should have just finished buying groceries and gone home..."

"Okay!"

After a brief farewell, the four of them walked in the direction the boss pointed.

Once they were out of sight, the shop owner quickly turned away and went back to his shop.

Then, the shop owner took out his phone, which was hidden under the snack shelf, and dialed an unfamiliar number.

"Boss, the person you mentioned is currently in Yangjia Village."

There was a brief silence on the other end before the question was asked, "Did you come alone?"

Boss: No, there are four people in total, including a foreigner.

"I understand. Have someone keep an eye on it."

After hanging up, the boss hurriedly called other people.

"Old Zhang, outsiders have entered our village. Tell everyone to be extra careful."

"Old Li, four outsiders have come to our village, including one foreigner. Keep a close eye on their movements."

"Second Aunt, some outsiders have come to our village. They don't seem to have good intentions. Please make sure people are careful..."

Duan Ye and the others were unaware of this little incident. As they walked, they felt that the villagers around them were all acting rather strangely.

John: "These people are really weird..."

Luo An frowned: "Indeed."

Xiao Wu: "I have a feeling of being watched."

John rubbed his arms instantly. Standing at 1.9 meters tall, he looked a little intimidating under the blazing sun.

"This village, in your Chinese terms, makes me feel extremely...terrified..."

Duan Ye smiled and said, "That's quite an apt description."

We arrived at the market.

The four of them then separated.

Duan Ye and Xiao Wu went to buy rice and oil, while Luo An and John went to buy vegetables and meat.

The shopping process went smoothly, and everyone treated them politely. However, the probing looks from everyone made them more wary.

Duan Ye was carrying a bag of rice and a bucket of oil, as was Xiao Wu. John was carrying a pig's leg, while Luo An was carrying all sorts of vegetables.

The four of them walked towards the end of the village in the sight of everyone.

Xiao Wu: "I feel like it's easy for us to get in, but it might be a bit difficult to get back."

John: "I think so too, but if we can't go back, we'll fight back!"

Luo An frowned: "John, Xiao Wu, both of you, keep your voices down..."

It was as if someone was watching them from every household, and even the children playing nearby had a look of curiosity and wariness in their eyes.

John: "Is our voice loud enough?"

Xiao Wu: "Keep your voice down, is it something to be proud of?"

Duan Ye burst out laughing, and now even more people were watching them.

Luo An: None of them are easy to deal with.

"Don't worry, if something really happens, I can get the message out."

Duan Ye slowly walked to Luo An's side and asked in a low voice, "Can you cut off the internet to the entire Yangjia Village? So that you can't even make phone calls?"

Luo An immediately puffed out his chest with immense pride: "Of course, they definitely won't be able to send out the message anytime soon."

Duan Ye: "Can you manage in one night?"

Luo An's face immediately showed difficulty; he was alone...

“I can give it a try.”

A few hours is easy for him, but a whole night might not be so.

Duan Ye patted him on the shoulder: "Just do your best."

"During the day, I need you to intercept all the information here and hand it over to me, and you must do it without anyone noticing. Can you do that?"

Luo An: "Okay."

Duan Ye went to John's side again: "When we get to Yang Hao's house, find an excuse to leave. I need you to find out who is really in charge of Yangjia Village."

Duan Ye added, "I think we can only succeed, we can't fail."

John nodded, looking relaxed: "Okay."

Xiao Wu: "Brother Duan, what about me?"

Duan Ye: "You come with me."

Xiao Wu's face immediately fell: "Huh?"

Duan Ye: "Later, the Yang family will probably have more than just his old mother."

Xiao Wu has high emotional intelligence; he knows what he can and cannot say.

As for him, wherever he is, those people will be watching him, so naturally he can't leave.

Meanwhile, outside the village.
