Before Ye Zhaoyu could verify anything, Ling Yunjue had already summarized and organized all the information obtained from the interrogation.
Following a woman's directions, they found a map showing the route out via an alternate road.
All the women had been poisoned and rendered mute, only able to speak incoherently. This was the same woman; she watched as they arrested all those who had bullied them, and without saying a word, she led Ling Yunjue and the others to retrieve the map.
"I have a map they provided. Do you want to go together?" Ling Yunjue asked Ye Zhaoyu, holding up the map.
“Okay, let me get ready.” Ye Zhaoyu immediately agreed.
Ye Zhaoyu didn't ask why she asked him to go with her.
It's something everyone knows perfectly well.
Seeing that Ye Zhaoyu had made the arrangements, Ling Yunjue also went to make the arrangements.
After packing, the two set off with their bags on their backs.
The two followed the route for about half a day and found a mountain path. When they were halfway up, they found that the second half was a snow-capped mountain. However, they did not go far and started to descend after about an hour.
The whole process took almost a day to get out; it was a vast grassland.
This takes us directly to another place.
"Should we go back the way we came, or find a place to rest?" Ye Zhaoyu asked Ling Yunjue.
"Let's find a place to rest," Ling Yunjue said without thinking.
Following the direction of the road, the two soon arrived at a small county town, where Ling Yunjue took Ye Zhaoyu to a state-run restaurant for a meal.
Fortunately, Ling Yunjue always carried national grain coupons with him.
After the meal, Ling Yunjue wrote two introductions by hand on the spot. The two of them took the freshly printed letters of introduction to the guesthouse and booked two rooms to rest.
Ye Zhaoyu quickly washed up, tossed him onto the big bed, and fell asleep in less than a second.
I slept until the next morning before getting up.
This county town is not big; there is only one guesthouse with eight rooms.
When Ye Zhaoyu got up, she realized that the smell in the air was a bit off; its only notable feature was that the fragrance lasted for an exceptionally long time.
She wasn't poison, more like a fragrance her mother had blended.
The fragrance is very faint; you can't smell it unless you sniff carefully.
This incense is something she and her mother have; they don't sell it or give it away, so that if anyone gets lost, they can use this incense to find them.
So, her mother was here.
Ye Zhaoyu began searching the room and found Xiangyuan hidden in a small crack in the bed.
It's definitely incense made by her mother.
Bang bang bang.
"Comrade Ye, are you awake? Let's go have breakfast, then head back the way we came." Ling Yunjue knocked on the door.
Ye Zhaoyu didn't delay any longer and opened the door.
“My mother has been here.” Ye Zhaoyu told Ling Yunjue what she knew.
“Okay, I understand. We can’t be sure if the people here are safe to use. We’ll investigate when our people arrive. This could be the route used to transport people in,” Ling Yunjue explained.
"Okay, let's go have breakfast first and then go back to check." Ye Zhaoyu knew that they couldn't rush things now, as her mother had probably already been moved.
The incense burner has been there for over two years, so the person in it is unlikely to be here anymore.
"Don't worry, Aunt Ye is of research value, they won't let her die easily," Ling Yunjue comforted her.
Ye Zhaoyu's mind went blank upon hearing this.
You won't die, but sometimes, living a life worse than death can be even more unbearable.
"No matter what, I must find her as soon as possible," Ye Zhaoyu said firmly.
Ling Yunjue hesitated for a moment but still didn't say anything about the possibility that Doctor Ye might have been taken to Japan.
Ye Zhaoyu had her own guesses. She looked at the lab's data and saw that there were experiments on blood transfusions, but unfortunately, the records did not show whether the experiments were successful or not.
The blood transfusion might have involved transferring her mother's blood to someone else to see if they could create another person immune to all poisons, but unfortunately, the experiment was terminated for some reason.
Ye Zhaoyu guessed that the experiment was terminated because someone needed her mother's blood, forcing them to stop the experiment and smuggle her out.
It was most likely transported to Japan.
However, all of this is just speculation. If there is a chance, we should go to Japan to see if there is any information.
Ye Zhaoyu and Ling Yunjue went out to eat and were quickly spotted.
Both of them felt their tails behind them.
"How about we continue shopping?" Ling Yunjue asked Ye Zhaoyu.
“Okay, I was just about to go buy some beef jerky and milk curds,” Ye Zhaoyu replied.
While waiting for their food, the two decided where to go next.
For the rest of the day, the two of them took them for a stroll around the streets, and when they got tired, they went back to the guesthouse to rest.
"We've been targeted ever since we arrived here. Who's targeting us?" Ye Zhaoyu asked Ling Yunjue.
"I don't know, let's see if they make a move tonight," Ling Yunjue thought to herself.
This place isn't big. Unless someone is particularly sensitive to strangers, it's possible that this small county town is already under someone's control, which is why they're so sensitive to strangers.
Or perhaps he was simply attracted to Ye Zhaoyu's beauty.
Ling Yunjue was very thin and frail, with a beautiful face but a delicate appearance.
Ye Zhaoyu is exquisitely beautiful and has a great figure. At first glance, she is a great beauty, so it's normal that she easily attracts other people's attention.
Although Ye Zhaoyu asked the question, she already knew the answer in her heart.
At night, Ye Zhaoyu turns off the lights and goes to sleep at nine o'clock.
Around midnight, I heard strange noises coming from the doorway.
Ye Zhaoyu quietly got up and stood against the wall.
"Keep your voice down, what if you wake someone up?" a woman's voice said softly.
"What are you afraid of? Even if she wakes up, there are three of us. We're not afraid of not being able to subdue her." It was a thuggish-looking boy.
The house wasn't very soundproof, and Ye Zhaoyu could hear everything clearly.
Ling Yunjue, who lived next door to Ye Zhaoyu, heard the three people's voices as they started talking.
I leaned against the door early on, listening to what they were saying.
"Yes, yes, you guys are the best, but this woman is so pretty she should fetch a lot of money," the woman said.
"Yes, once we send this group of people to the mountain area, we'll have money to help our children get married."
Ye Zhaoyu lowered her head and thought for a moment, then quickly climbed into bed and went to sleep.
The door opened quickly, and the three people sneaked into the room.
After the three men sneaked in, they used a handkerchief to drug Ye Zhaoyu and tied her up.
Then they went to Ling Yunjue's house and used the same method to tie him up.
Ye Zhaoyu woke up as soon as she was loaded onto the cart. She moved slightly, but her hands were tightly bound, and she couldn't see anything because she was covered by a sack. The cart was swaying and moving faster than an oxcart, so she was probably on a horse-drawn carriage.
Having figured things out, Ye Zhaoyu wasn't in a hurry; she just wanted to see where they would take the people.
The car drove for about two and a half hours before finally stopping.
