An Moxue said angrily, "How arrogant! They don't care about us at all. They are arrogant, ignorant, and stupid."

Wu Sicheng squeezed her hand and comforted her, "That's better! It's easier to hold!"

"Pfft!" An Moxue was amused by his words and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, complaining softly, "Luckily there was still some distance, otherwise they would have definitely discovered us."

Are you such a clueless person?

An Moxue rolled her eyes in the darkness where he couldn't see her, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Trying to please me won't work."

He reached out, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her closer to him. The two of them were pressed tightly together, and he said in an ambiguous tone, "Really? How about this?"

An Moxue wasn't shy at all; instead, she moved even closer to him, her voice seductive as she said, "Like this? It's not impossible."

"Alright, alright, I'm scared of you. You're the boss, you call the shots." Wu Sicheng suppressed a laugh and took a step back, but didn't let go. Being this close was really testing his self-control.

An Moxue asked, "You mean they're just planning to stay here for one night?"

Without hesitation, Wu Sicheng replied, "Who knows? Their thought processes are different from ours."

As the two were talking quietly, they saw one of them grab the fake Yang Yuning, while the other walked ahead, heading deeper into the mountains.

"Where are you going in the middle of the night?" An Moxue wondered.

After she finished speaking, she pulled Wu Sicheng along and followed behind, with the group of five people behind them. They couldn't help but gossip in whispers: "When do you think Comrade An and Comrade Wu will finally get married?"

"It's hard to say. They're both probably very busy and don't have much time to get married."

"That's right, we're all people who work for the country and our families, how can we have any personal time?"

"You guys are kidding! Apparently, it's because Comrade An said he'd talk about it after graduating from university."

"Poor Comrade Wu, he can see it but can't eat it."

"Shut up! Hurry up and stay hidden."

The two foreign friends dragged the fake Yang Yuning along at a slow pace. One of them kicked him impatiently and cursed, "Damn yellow-skinned monkey, hurry up and get going, or you'll regret it."

The fake Yang Yuning maintained the same pace, unhurried, letting the foreigners punch and kick him.

An Moxue said, "Two idiots, they don't know how much Yang Yuning contributes to the advancement of technology, yet they treat him so violently! Ignorance is bliss."

Wu Sicheng asked, "How do you think they should treat him?"

An Moxue said, "They probably didn't kill him on the spot because they wanted to gain more benefits. I wonder if they have the money to buy his life, or if they'll even have the life to enjoy it!"

The two groups split into three groups and moved forward one by one. Suddenly, the three people in front stopped.

Then, a flashlight beam shone out from the darkness ahead, and Wu Sicheng pulled An Moxue quickly to hide behind a large tree beside them.

Then, the beams of several flashlights illuminated the group ahead, and four or five people emerged, welcoming the three people, including the fake Yang Yuning, into a secluded cave. An Moxue watched as they parted the dense vines, crawled into the cave, and then restored the vines to their original state. If the two of them hadn't been following them, it would have been difficult to discover this hidden cave.

An Moxue and Wu Sicheng stared at each other in the darkness, their faces almost touching. They both spoke at the same time: "They planned this all along, just waiting for Yang Yuning to return to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors!"

An Moxue said, "Now that you mention it, they must have thoroughly studied Yang Yuning, otherwise there's no way to explain this cave and these people who came to meet him."

After a moment of contemplation, Wu Sicheng said, "Then they will have a complete chain, from kidnapping people to leaving the country. It seems that we can only follow them first, and it is not suitable to expose ourselves. Only by arresting them before they leave the country can we maximize our benefits."

An Moxue replied, "Yes, it seems that's the only way."

"You defend, I'll scout ahead," Wu Sicheng said, already leaping a short distance away.

An Moxue moved to a more secluded spot and watched as Wu Sicheng reached the cave entrance. He then carefully parted the vines that were obscuring the cave before cautiously entering as well.

Finally, he turned around, gave her a reassuring gesture, and then completely disappeared into the cave.

An Moxue waited anxiously outside the cave. After a short while, Wu Sicheng came out and said, "This is a natural cave. It is very deep and winding. They are at the very inside. Only a few people came out and they are all resting in the cave. Two people are on duty. It seems they are waiting for dawn. We should also take a break and each person will take turns for an hour. I'll go first and talk to them."

“Okay.” An Moxue said, found the best spot for surveillance, and climbed up the tree.

When Wu Sicheng returned, An Moxue was eating chocolate. He climbed up the tree branch next to her, sat close to her, and said, "You brought chocolate too?"

"Yes, I always carry it with me. Do you want one?" she said, handing over a piece.

Wu Sicheng took it, put it in his mouth, and said, "Why do you like eating this bitter stuff? It's good for replenishing energy, but it's really bitter."

An Moxue ate the chocolate slowly and said, "It's bittersweet, but also very fragrant. I'm used to it. What do you think they'll do tomorrow?"

Wu Sicheng said, "Go down the mountain and move people as quickly as possible."

"Okay, I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up later."

"Alright, go to sleep! I'll take care of everything." With that, he pressed her head onto his shoulder and then sat quietly on the tree branch.

As dawn broke, the group realized their current hiding place was no longer suitable and quickly adjusted their positions.

Soon after, two people emerged from the cave. They cautiously peeked out first, then came out completely, hiding the cave again. After emerging, they stealthily ran down the mountain. An Moxue gave a hand signal, and two soldiers silently followed.

They waited for more than three hours. When the two returned, they looked anxious and were followed by two people who looked like locals and, judging from their clothes, should be employed.

An Moxue and the others immediately perked up, and then they saw everyone enter the cave.

The two people who were following them returned, and they didn't look too good.

An Moxue asked, "How is it?"

One of the soldiers replied, "Those two men are from the railway. One is from the maintenance section, and the other is from the ticket office. They are spies who were working undercover to help these people evacuate. They called their colleagues to find out what happened last night, and they know everything."

An Moxue sneered, "So what if they know? Do they know that their every move is under our surveillance? Let them jump around first. The more they jump around, the faster they'll die. Our goal this time is to catch more rats, and this is exactly what we wanted. What's wrong with that? What's there for you to be angry about?"
