Seeing this, Qin Wan quietly released his powerful spiritual sense and closely watched the every move of the two people.
She saw the two men first skillfully take out a thick rope from the package they were carrying and tie it firmly to the thick trunk of the tree.
Then, they grabbed the rope with both hands and jumped without hesitation, jumping into the deep pit. Then they saw another smaller cave dug on the side of the deep pit. The two men quickly crawled into the dark hole.
In just a blink of an eye, their figures completely disappeared in the darkness, as if they had never appeared.
Not long after that, two figures suddenly appeared in the abandoned factory, which had been so quiet that not even the sound of wind could be heard. Upon closer inspection, they were the two men who had just entered the tunnel.
I only heard the dwarf speak with a hint of complaint:
"Every time we come here, we have to crawl through this damn hole. Lao Zhang, can't we just walk in through the main door?"
As soon as the words fell, another deliberately lowered, heavy voice immediately responded:
"Humph! Whether or not you can go through the main gate isn't something I can decide. If you have the guts, go ask Mr. Matsushita. He personally made all these arrangements."
The young man seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed the words back and just sighed helplessly and said:
"Lao Zhang, alright, I didn't say anything."
Seeing this, Lao Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and then warned earnestly:
"That's right, young man. We're in a business where our lives are at stake. The more we know, the more we risk our lives. Remember, the less we know, the safer you are."
The young man nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood what Lao Zhang meant.
After a moment of silence, he seemed to have remembered something important and asked quickly:
"Lao Zhang, have you heard anything from your friend? What's going on lately?"
Lao Zhang replied solemnly:
"I just got news from a friend. He said things have been getting tense these past few days. It seems like they're planning a large-scale census, so they've told us to get rid of the goods we have as soon as possible."
Qin Wan, who had been hiding in the dark and eavesdropping, couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he heard this.
She instantly understood that the two men were actually engaged in illegal and criminal activities, but she just couldn't figure out what the goods they were talking about were.
Qin Wan released his spiritual sense to follow the two people while looking for an opportunity. After the two people walked away, he followed them.
Because they were so far away from each other, the two human traffickers had no idea that Qin Wan was observing their every move.
They leisurely took out the carefully prepared food and wine from the bags they brought with them and began to feast on them. As they ate and drank, they excitedly imagined a bright future.
The tall fellow with a face full of flesh was named Zhang. He was chewing a shiny chicken drumstick in his hand and mumbling to his companions:
"Xiao Cai, guess how much money we can make if we can sell this batch of goods smoothly this time?"
The human trafficker called Xiaocai had a pointed face and a monkey-like appearance. His small eyes kept rolling around like a mouse, revealing a hint of cunning and greed.
He first raised his head and gulped down a large mouthful of liquor, then swallowed it with satisfaction. Then he grinned and replied:
"Old Zhang, we've really struck it lucky this time! Look at these children, each one is so beautiful, especially that little girl. She's going to grow up to be a stunning beauty, and her price will naturally be high!"
Hearing this, Lao Zhang excitedly slammed the table and laughed loudly. His laughter was deafening, as if he could see countless gold, silver and treasures rolling towards him.
He laughed so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears, and said while panting:
"Haha, you're absolutely right! As long as we successfully complete this deal, we'll retire immediately, find a beautiful rural place, buy some fertile land, and live a carefree and happy life like gods from now on!"
Qin Wan was like an agile cheetah, lurking quietly in a dark corner, listening attentively to every word of the two human traffickers in front of him.
Her beautiful and sharp eyes were burning with rage, as if she wanted to burn these two unscrupulous human traffickers to ashes; at the same time, an uncontrollable feeling of disgust surged in her heart, as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a disgusting fly.
She tightly gripped the extremely sharp dagger in her hand, her fingers turning slightly white from the excessive force.
At this moment, she wanted to rush out immediately and stab the two extremely hateful human traffickers with this dagger, making them bleed to death on the spot.
However, the last bit of her rationality told her that she must not act so rashly. Only by patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity could she catch the two villains by surprise and completely subdue them in one fell swoop.
Just at this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew past, and faint bursts of dog barking from afar were heard in the wind.
The sound was particularly abrupt and harsh in the silent night, instantly breaking the original peaceful atmosphere.
When the two human traffickers heard the barking of dogs, they trembled violently like frightened birds, and their originally relaxed expressions disappeared without a trace in an instant.
They quickly put down the food and wine they were enjoying, stood up in a hurry, and looked around vigilantly with wide eyes.
"What's going on? Why are dogs suddenly barking around here?"
Old Zhang frowned and asked suspiciously. As he spoke, he rubbed his hands nervously, seeming to be very confused and worried about this sudden change.
Xiaocai on the side also looked panicked. His little head kept turning and his eyes were scanning the surrounding environment, fearing that some unexpected danger would befall him.
The two of them looked around nervously, but apart from the occasional sound of wind and rustling leaves, they didn't find anything unusual.
Gradually, their tense nerves relaxed a little, and they sat back in their seats and continued to eat and drink.
The short guy muttered and complained:
"Oh my god, what a false alarm! What the hell is going on? It's so frightening! I'm so tired of living in fear like this!"
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, as if he wanted to use the power of alcohol to calm his inner fear and irritability.
