"I reckon she's a minor leader. I don't think that woman goes out much. She's incredibly beautiful, looks like she's only in her early twenties, very young..."
When the topic turns to women, Qiangzi's focus always veers off course.
Just as Brother Tao was about to teach him a lesson, a possible chance to save his life suddenly popped into his mind.
If that woman really is a minor leader, wouldn't controlling her be like having leverage to negotiate with them?
Whether it's a human trafficking organization or a beggar organization being exposed, at worst it's just the loss of these small fry. At least Brother Tao can escape this time and will have a chance to make a comeback in the future.
It's unrealistic to save everyone, but the organization wants him to be the arm that cuts off to save others. Similarly, he can abandon the children and beggars at critical moments to save himself first. And as long as he doesn't affect the organization, the organization will never punish him for it.
This is arguably the only way to break the deadlock at present.
"Come here, Qiangzi..."
Tao explained his plan, and Qiangzi was responsible for its implementation.
After figuring out the timing of their operation, Qiangzi, along with two other men, sneaked into the military outpost after the main force had gone out. They headed straight for Su Yueya's infirmary—a simple little room where she lived.
Su Yueya noticed the unusual noise outside the door.
She was taking a nap in bed at the moment. Because of her cultivation, her hearing was better than that of an ordinary person, and she could detect people acting suspiciously. People in the military would not be able to do this.
So... someone infiltrated?
Su Yueya was always present whenever the mission was discussed. Even though she didn't say a word, she listened quietly. After all, she needed to know the mission's progress, and her two little ones were waiting for her to go home as soon as possible. So she knew very well what everyone had been doing lately.
They figured out their timing and deliberately chose this moment to sneak over, and judging from the noise, there weren't many people.
That's because they came for her!
Su Yueya almost instantly guessed the criminals' logic. At this point, it was very simple for her to avoid them. She just needed to hide in her own space and create the illusion that no one was in the room. The group would leave empty-handed, and she could take the opportunity to notify the others.
But Su Yueya did not choose to do so.
She knew perfectly well why the troops hadn't taken action yet—because they couldn't infiltrate deeper to gather more information—but wasn't this a perfect opportunity?
If I were taken away by these people, wouldn't I be walking into a tiger's den?
Moreover, it was done in the safest way possible, in a way that would absolutely not alert the enemy, although it now appears that they have already alerted them.
In short, this is a rare opportunity.
Su Yueya closed her eyes and continued to listen intently to the sounds outside, appearing outwardly as if she were asleep.
Soon, the room door was opened.
"You guard the door, we'll go in, knock him out and take him away!" Qiangzi said.
Su Yueya: "..."
Pretending to be asleep was definitely a wise move; otherwise, I would have gotten a beating.
The key issue is that Su Yueya couldn't fight back and could only endure it. Just thinking about it made her feel pain and frustration.
But pretending to be asleep was pointless, because when Qiangzi came in and saw that Su Yueya was "asleep," he felt that heaven was helping him, and at the same time, he didn't hold back at all.
"Smack—" A single blow from the board knocked the person unconscious.
Su Yueya: "..."
She wasn't dizzy at all, but it hurt, it really hurt, but she had to act like she was fainting. She remembered this lesson and would get her revenge on them soon.
"Get them out of here quickly!" Qiangzi said. Things were going much more smoothly than they had imagined.
But Qiangzi and the others did not notice anything unusual, and felt that even God was helping them.
Soon, the "unconscious" Su Yueya was taken to the organization's headquarters.
"Brother Tao, we've brought that junior leader over!" Qiangzi's voice was filled with excitement. He knew what Brother Tao's plan was: to use this girl to threaten those soldiers. As long as they weren't killed, the girl would still have value, which would allow him to have some fun.
After all, it's rare to see a girl as beautiful as this junior manager.
Junior leader?
Su Yueya had been feigning unconsciousness. Hearing two male voices, she guessed they were the leaders of this group, and that they considered her a minor leader. In other words, they intended to use her to threaten the rest of the troops…
Indeed, regardless of whether she is a leader or not, arresting her can be used to threaten others.
However, this plan was fundamentally flawed; she was no pushover among junior leaders!
"You said she's pretty, and she really is." Only then did Brother Tao get a good look at Su Yueya's face. He had to admit that she was a rare beauty, and even in very ordinary clothes, her beauty was undeniable.
"Brother Tao, we're just using her to threaten those soldiers anyway, otherwise..." Qiangzi grinned lewdly at the unconscious Su Yueya, stroking his chin and licking his lips, and said with a lecherous look, "You play with her first, and then reward me when you're done?"
Su Yueya's heart skipped a beat!
Her original plan was to pretend to be unconscious. These people would have to find a place to settle her down. Once she was settled, she would act according to the circumstances, at least to find out where the abducted children were hiding before taking action.
But if these two men had ulterior motives towards her and resorted to dirty tricks, she wouldn't be able to keep up the act.
Just as she was waiting and hesitating, a loud "pop" suddenly broke out in the air.
It was Brother Tao who slapped Qiangzi.
"Damn it, what time is it? You're already thinking about that kind of thing. Is now the right time?" Brother Tao scolded.
This girl is indeed beautiful, but no matter how beautiful a girl is, she is nothing compared to one's own life and future!
"Brother Tao, I was wrong!" Qiangzi, who had been beaten, immediately admitted his mistake. Of course, he was resentful, but he dared not disobey Brother Tao's wishes and could only obediently listen to him.
"Alright, lock him up first, I'll go and deal with those guys," Brother Tao said.
Now that we've got the hostage, it's time to negotiate terms.
Tao's core demand is for those people to let him go, and now he needs to think carefully about how to talk to them.
Su Yueya was taken to the warehouse by Qiangzi, where there were many other trafficked children waiting for the right opportunity to be sold.
Su Yueya continued to feign unconsciousness, realizing she might be on her way to finding the location where the child was hidden...
Listening intently, I realized I had been taken to a place.
Upon entering, one hears the frightened sounds of many children.
This is it!
Su Yueya secretly opened her eyes and peered at her surroundings through her slits. What she saw gave her a huge fright!
