There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, but more of it was determination.
Qin Wan nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with Lu Yu's opinion. A hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she responded:
"That's right, we can't let these innocent people suffer more unnecessary trouble because of us.
However, now is not the time to act. We must at least wait until the mastermind and all the people behind him are apprehended."
After all, the current situation is that the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. If we show up rashly, even if we can catch some human traffickers, it will probably be difficult to fundamentally eliminate the dark forces hidden in this place.
Moreover, she is extremely curious about the vast and evil criminal network hidden behind these human traffickers, and she will not give up until she gets to the bottom of it!
Lu Yu knew he was being a bit hasty. But he was anxious. He and Qin Wan both wanted to stay in this place, but when they thought of Aunt Yu, who was still staying in the guesthouse, they had to change their minds.
Qin Wan said to Lu Yu seriously:
"Why don't you go back first? If Aunt Yu asks later, just tell her I'm taking the kids out to play."
When Lu Yu heard this, worry immediately appeared on his face. He knew very well that if he left, Qin Wan, who was left alone, would most likely be in danger.
So he expressed his opposition with an unusually firm attitude:
"No, you can't stay here alone. It's too dangerous here. Who knows if there are human traffickers behind us?"
Qin Wan saw this and quickly explained:
"If I really encounter any danger, I can hide in that magical space. That way, I'm actually much safer than you."
Even though he had said this, Lu Yu's heart was still hanging in the air and he couldn't really let go. No matter what, he couldn't leave with peace of mind.
Not to mention that there are four cute young kids who need to be taken care of.
After much persuasion, Qin Wan still refused to speak, so Lu Yu softly said:
"Wanhuang, it's normal that Aunt Yu can't see me alone, but do you think she can be at ease if she can't see you and the children?" Lu Yu asked earnestly.
After hearing this, Qin Wan thought about it for a moment and felt that it made sense. In the end, he could only turn around reluctantly and walk towards the guesthouse.
Qin Wan's movements were incredibly swift and agile, darting away like the wind. In the blink of an eye, she had already stepped out of the space, and cleverly used the cover of darkness to instantly disappear into the vast night of East Street in the town.
After Qin Wan left, Lu Yu hid in the shadows, holding his breath, almost blending into the night. He carefully observed everything in the courtyard and found that although the town's police had a correct attitude, they were indeed lacking in technical skills.
After a whole night of intense and busy work, the police were exhausted, but they still stayed at their posts until the sky turned slightly pale. Only then did they finally complete their mission and leave the scene with the suspect.
At the same time, those who were successfully rescued were quickly sent to ambulances and taken to nearby hospitals for comprehensive physical examinations and professional treatment.
The police did not neglect the search of the crime scene - the courtyard.
They conducted a meticulous and thorough search, leaving no corner untouched.
However, disappointingly, despite their great efforts, they ultimately achieved nothing.
After the police left, Lu Yu quietly returned to the yard again.
He walked into the house very quietly. Fearing of attracting unnecessary attention, he didn't even dare to turn on the light switch. He could only use the faint moonlight coming in from the window to carefully begin a more in-depth inspection of the entire yard.
In this silent atmosphere, Lu Yu concentrated on tapping the surrounding walls and the ground with his hands, hoping to find some hidden clues or the entrance to the secret passage.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he repeated the same actions over and over again, but he still failed to achieve any results.
"That shouldn't be the case. There should be a tunnel here!"
Lu Yu frowned and muttered to himself. Just before he came here, he had heard from a gangster that there was a secret passage here.
Did he really miss some crucial clues? Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel annoyed and frustrated.
But he quickly adjusted his mindset, took a deep breath, continued to concentrate, and started a new, more detailed investigation...
So, Lu Yu started a new round of searching. This time, he searched more carefully and attentively.
During the inspection, Lu Yu kept knocking here and there. Every time he knocked, it was like he was having a conversation with history, trying to uncover the hidden secrets.
Finally, in front of a seemingly ordinary wall, his knocking had a different echo.
He pushed hard, but the wall didn't budge.
He carefully felt the wall with his hands again, from top to bottom, from the middle to both sides, and finally he felt a small bulge, so he tentatively pressed it with his fingers.
Unexpectedly, the wall slowly moved away, revealing a hidden entrance to the mezzanine. Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he knew he might be about to make a major discovery.
He waited for a while, but saw no movement from inside, so he carefully entered the mezzanine.
After entering the mezzanine, there is a narrow staircase below. Slowly descending the narrow staircase, you will soon enter a tunnel. The tunnel is cool and damp, and the air is filled with a musty smell.
Lu Yu walked forward while groping, and suddenly he touched a rope and pulled it tentatively.
With a "click", the light came on.
Then, Lu Yu's eyes were drawn to a hidden stone door in the corner of the cellar. He approached and pushed the stone door open, revealing a deep tunnel before his eyes.
Inside the tunnel, the lights flickered, illuminating thirty or forty boxes.
When he opened them, he saw that the first few boxes contained gold, silver, and jewelry, followed by more than ten boxes of jade and antiques, and more than ten boxes of bronze artifacts. These things were so dazzling that it was overwhelming.
He looked around and saw that there were more than ten boxes. He walked over and opened them one by one. When he saw what was in the boxes, his heart started pounding with fear.
It turned out that those boxes contained explosives.
