The man who had just gone out with the first-aid kit was now sitting in the living room, eating silently. Sitting opposite him was the man who had tried to kick Xu Xinchen. Next to that man was the woman Xu Xinchen had seen earlier, the one called Sister Hua.

Sister Hua probably noticed that the man's mood was off. She put down her chopsticks and slapped him on the shoulder: "Zhao Jun, what's wrong with you? You seemed a bit off since you came out of that room. Did that woman cause trouble in there?"

The man called Zhao Jun suddenly came to his senses. A look of confusion flashed across his face before he gradually came to his senses. Faced with Sister Hua's question, he calmly shook his head.

"No, nothing. That woman was quite cooperative. She ate whatever was given to her and showed no signs of wanting to cause trouble."

Hearing Zhao Jun's answer, Sister Hua nodded, a satisfied look on her face: "That's right. No wonder she's valued by Chen Ningsheng. She's definitely a smart woman who knows what's in her best interest."

Zhao Jun recalled what had just happened in the room, a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He buried his head in his food and ate a few mouthfuls, completely ignoring Sister Hua's question.

Sister Hua, however, looked at Zhao Jun with a strange expression. After staring at him for a while, she spoke up and asked, "Zhao Jun, are you feeling sorry for that woman?"

Zhao Jun suddenly shuddered and hurriedly shook his head: "No, Sister Hua, I have no sympathy for that woman."

I was just wondering when we could get rid of this woman.

As he spoke, Zhao Jun's face showed a hint of complaint: "We have to keep an eye on this woman every day, and we can't even go too far from this villa when we go out. It's too stifling. After a while, we really can't stand it."

Zhao Jun felt a little flustered. If he wasn't mistaken, Sister Hua seemed to have murderous intent towards him. If he didn't quickly cover this up, he might end up as a corpse at the foot of the mountain.

Upon hearing Zhao Jun's explanation, the murderous intent in Sister Hua's eyes slowly disappeared, replaced by a smile: "It's alright, just bear with it a little longer. The boss said that someone will be sent to pick up that woman soon, we just need to wait a few more days."

After listening to Sister Hua's explanation, a subtle, enigmatic emotion flashed in Zhao Jun's eyes. He feigned ignorance and asked, "Boss, why don't you pick this woman up now? If the investigation gets stricter in a few days, won't it be more troublesome to pick her up?"

When Sister Hua heard Zhao Jun's question, she gently shook her head: "No, you're thinking too simply. The reason the boss asked us to bring this woman here first is because they are currently conducting a strict investigation over there."

"The boss is currently trying to steer this matter towards human trafficking. Once those people can't be tracked down in the city, they will naturally go to other provinces to investigate because of this lead. When the investigation in the city is relaxed, we can take her there."

Zhao Jun listened and asked again, puzzled, "But isn't our boss going to use her to threaten that Chen Ningsheng? Why not just call Chen Ningsheng directly? Why go through all this trouble?"

Sister Hua sighed softly, a faint smile in her eyes: "Zhao Jun, you're still number one."

"It's no wonder you didn't know this was the first time you'd done something like this. Calling Chen Ningsheng now would allow us to negotiate immediately, but our hiding place could very well be discovered."

"It would be better to hide the person first, and then spread some seemingly true but actually false information in the city to divert the target's attention elsewhere. This would be the most advantageous thing for us."

After listening to Sister Hua's explanation, Zhao Jun nodded solemnly, his face showing admiration: "So that's how it is. Sister Hua, you know so much. No wonder the boss values ​​you so much."

At this moment, the man who had once tried to kick Xu Xinchen also raised his head, looking at Zhao Jun with a smug look in his eyes, and speaking with a strong sense of superiority.

"Zhao Jun, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you haven't been working under Sister Hua for long enough. Once you've been with her for a while, you'll understand that Sister Hua's abilities are top-notch, not just empty words."

Sister Hua reached out and slapped the man who was speaking, scolding him, "Third brother, just eat your food properly. Even eating can't shut you up."

However, although she said that, there was no reproach on her face. On the contrary, a hint of smugness flashed across her face.

Zhao Jun nodded with a look of understanding, picked up his chopsticks and added a piece of food to the third brother's plate: "Third brother, I'll have to rely on you to take care of me from now on."

The man referred to as the third brother immediately nodded, a hint of satisfaction on his face: "No problem, no problem. As long as you behave, I will naturally help you."

The sounds of the group outside reached Xu Xinchen's ears as a hazy, indistinct blur; she couldn't make out anything.

It's unclear what they were talking about, but the only thing that's certain is that the three people outside really get along.

Xu Xinchen realized this, and her face turned pale. It seemed that although the man still had a sliver of conscience, it would be very difficult to turn him against his will.

Thinking of this, Xu Xinchen dared not lean against the wall in a daze any longer, and quickly reached out to fiddle with the rope on her feet again, trying to untie it.

The three people outside were completely unaware that Xu Xinchen was struggling with the ropes, but even if they did know, they probably wouldn't care much, since Xu Xinchen was already locked inside.

Even if they untied the ropes from their feet, getting out wouldn't be so easy. Not to mention that the combined strength of the three of them was much greater than that of Xu Xinchen alone.

Take Xu Xinchen's foot wound, for example. It was bleeding so obviously that it would hurt even if she walked a little bit. Even if she ran out, how far could she run? Therefore, the people outside didn't pay any attention to Xu Xinchen at all.

After they finished eating, they chatted about other things, completely unaware that Xu Xinchen in the room was already trying to escape.
