After Luo Jingyan and Zhuang Feifei agreed on the price of the goods, Luo Jingyan left the black market.
Zhuang Feifei's selling of salted fish on the black market was just a front. She thought she had another big business opportunity, so she hired the cripple, carried the half-basket of salted fish that she hadn't sold yet, and left the black market.
Luo Jingyan hadn't walked far from the black market when she saw Zhuang Feifei also coming out carrying a basket.
She smiled. Zhuang Feifei must think she's about to turn her life around, so she doesn't care about those petty gains anymore. Well, she'll make it even harder for her to turn things around.
Both she and Zhuang Feifei needed to go into the space to change clothes, so she deliberately kept her distance from Zhuang Feifei, and neither of them interfered with the other.
Xue Yanchen went to the mountain to meet Lai Chunyang almost every day these past few days, but he never saw Lai Chunyang's shadow on the mountain.
If it's normal not to see Lai Chunyang once or twice, but not seeing him even once in so long, then there's a problem.
He was puzzled. He couldn't just wait for Lai Chunyang to come to the mountain on his own. So he took the initiative to see what Lai Chunyang was up to. He went to Lai's house to find Lai Chunyang.
Lai Chunyang was so tired during the day because he had gone up the mountain to look for something at night that he needed to rest. So much so that he was still fast asleep on the kang (a heated brick bed) at home in the middle of the day.
When Xue Yanchen arrived at the Lai family home, Lai's mother, seeing that he was a stranger, asked, "Who are you? What brings you to my house?"
Could it be that one of the educated youth in the village asked his old man for a favor?
Xue Yanchen said, "I'm an educated youth from the next brigade. A few days ago, I met Chunyang while hunting in the mountains. Chunyang also wanted to hunt, so we met and became friends. I haven't seen him in the mountains for the past few days and wanted to know what was wrong with him, so I came to check on him."
Lai's mother didn't know that Lai Chunyang had sneaked out at night to look for something on the mountain. She only knew that Lai Chunyang had been sleeping a lot during the day these past few days. When she asked Lai Chunyang, he only said that he was tired and that everything else was normal, so they didn't think much of it.
"Oh, it's Chunyang's friend. Chunyang is inside. I'll go call him."
"I'll go with you."
Xue Yanchen and Lai's mother went into Lai Chunyang's room together. Lai Chunyang woke up groggily after being called by his mother.
When he saw that the person who came was Xue Yanchen, he immediately got a jolt.
This person really is a persistent ghost!
Before he arrived, his superiors sent people to investigate the files of the educated youth in this area, but only those of the Shengli Brigade were investigated. It was only in the last few days that they checked the files of the brigade next door, and that's when he discovered the trickery involved.
At this moment, his wary and venomous gaze was completely captured by the perceptive Xue Yanchen.
To sleep comfortably, Lai Chunyang took off all his outer clothes, leaving only his shorts. When he sat up, the blanket slipped off, exposing the upper half of his body, and he quickly covered himself with the blanket again.
However, with just this one move, Xue Yanchen was able to completely confirm Lai Chunyang's identity.
However, he remained calm and composed, as if he had not noticed anything unusual.
Lai Chunyang regretted his nervousness just now. He had received special training from the organization and was able to maintain a calm and steady response even in special situations. However, he had lost his composure in front of Xue Yanchen just now.
At this moment, he stared intently at Xue Yanchen, trying to catch any clues from the other's expression, whether the other had discovered his secret or not. If he had, the other would definitely have an incredulous expression.
But he couldn't detect any unusual emotions on the other person's face. Did the other person not see anything special about him, or did he simply not understand?
He now had some doubts: were the other party actually sent by the enemy?
Better to kill an innocent person than let one go free.
This is a rule that everyone in their organization must follow, in order to ensure that the mission goes perfectly.
It's okay to kill innocent people; as long as they have no use to them, it doesn't matter if they are killed. But we must never let go of those who can disrupt their operations.
Xue Yanchen was getting in his way too much, and he decided in his heart that he must find an opportunity to get rid of Xue Yanchen.
Xue Yanchen likes to go up the mountain, so the best opportunity to kill Xue Yanchen is when you are on the mountain with him.
He had even come up with a way and a weapon to kill Xue Yanchen.
Using a gun would make a loud noise, which could be heard by others and thus risk exposing one's identity.
Therefore, only a sharp knife can be used.
When you get close to Xue Yanchen, take advantage of his momentary lapse in attention and quickly and accurately stab him in the vital spot, guaranteeing a fatal blow. After he dies, find a cave to throw him in or throw him off a cliff, so that no one will know.
Compared to shooting, he is best at close-quarters stabbing with short weapons. Killing enemies at close range and feeling their pain and resistance after being stabbed gives him great excitement and makes his blood boil. It's incredibly thrilling.
Once, after he hurt an innocent girl, he stabbed her repeatedly in many places with a sharp knife. He felt that was one of his most exciting moments, and his spirit was greatly satisfied.
However, he was not the most ruthless in their organization; at best, he was only average.
He had personally witnessed his direct superior torture a person for a whole day and night. The person had no intact body, yet he still survived. He was tortured for another two days before finally closing his eyes.
In a short period of time, he had already thought of many things.
Seeing that he looked a little dazed, Xue Yanchen asked, "Brother Chunyang, why are you still sleeping? Are you feeling unwell? I've been hunting in the mountains for the past two days and haven't seen you. I didn't know why you hadn't come up the mountain, so I came to check on you."
