Lin Yifeng, unusually, did not refuse the man's suggestion, but instead took the initiative to respond.
Is the warehouse far from here?
"May I take a look?"
"If it's suitable, I can take them all."
Upon hearing this, the man grinned from ear to ear and kept urging Lin Yifeng to walk down and get into their van.
As they passed by, Ye Yuqing tried several times to remind Lin Yifeng, but Lin Yifeng silenced her with a single look.
His gaze clearly conveyed to Veronica Yip that he knew this trip was very risky.
Seeing that Lin Yifeng understood, Ye Yuqing was too embarrassed to say anything more.
Soon the two got into the van, and with the man driving, they headed straight for the outskirts of Huaqiangbei.
Throughout the journey, the man continued to chat with Lin Yifeng.
It seemed like he was trying to get closer to Lin Yifeng, but in reality, he was trying to get information out of him.
Lin Yifeng also pretended to be troubled.
"Hey! To be honest, I just came to Huaqiangbei to buy goods."
"I've been looking around for several days, but I still haven't found anything suitable."
"You know I'm here to buy genuine products; I really can't afford those other kinds."
The man smiled and agreed, his smile gradually widening.
After driving for more than an hour, navigating winding, muddy mountain roads, the group finally arrived at a dilapidated little building.
The big yellow dog at the door kept barking at the car.
As it grew darker, Lin Yifeng and his companions could only see a makeshift warehouse next to the small building from their car.
After the car stopped, the man enthusiastically pointed to the warehouse and shouted.
"Boss, this is the way."
"Just go directly there, there are people inside."
As he spoke, he prepared to park the car in the yard.
As soon as Ye Yuqing got out of the car, she cautiously looked around.
Lin Yifeng also looked around.
The place the man brought them to, while not exactly remote, was still in the suburbs of Shenzhen, a place that was deserted and uninhabited.
The surrounding area is covered with dense forests, and the houses and warehouses are all built on the mountainside.
After the man behind him locked the courtyard gate, Lin Yifeng teased Ye Yuqing beside him.
"This is the middle of nowhere."
"If I die here, I feel like no one will even know."
Upon hearing this, the man's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly replied.
"Hey! Boss, what do you mean by that?!"
"It's kind of scary."
"Let's go check out the goods!"
The man then gestured for Lin Yifeng and Ye Yuqing to continue walking forward, toward the factory.
But Lin Yifeng and Ye Yuqing stood still, showing no intention of moving.
Not only that, Lin Yifeng also gave the man a mocking look.
Realizing he had been exposed, the man stopped pretending, took his hands out from behind his back, and tore off the black cloth covering them.
A gleaming machete was particularly dazzling under the light.
Hearing the commotion, several burly men came out from the warehouse carrying knives, spears, and clubs.
The group of five, each carrying their own tools, surrounded Lin Yifeng and Ye Yuqing in the courtyard.
In particular, the man leading the group, who had a dragon tattooed across his shoulder on his arm, was scraping the blade with his fingers and grinning at Lin Yifeng.
"You're a tough nut to crack, kid."
"I leave after leaving the SEG Market every day."
"I can't find you even if I want to."
The shirtless people around them were also laughing heartily.
From their words, it was clear that they had been eyeing Lin Yifeng for quite some time.
Several of them kept looking Ye Yuqing up and down, their eyes fixed on her as they swallowed hard.
"Brother, this girl is really pretty."
"Look at this coward, he's really lucky to have found such a mistress."
"Brother, you enjoy yourself first. After the brothers are done, we'll take her to Dongguan. We'll definitely get a good price for her."
The leader of the dragons, who stretched over his shoulders, touched his lips twice, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light.
It has to be said that Veronica Yip's figure and temperament make her stand out from the crowd, no matter where she is.
Furthermore, seeing Lin Yifeng leading Ye Yuqing back to the same room for several days in a row only fueled their desire, making them wish they could take Ye Yuqing right there and then.
However, the group soon realized something was wrong.
The fat sheep that had been surrounded by them were now looking at them with pity.
Lin Yifeng's headache-looking expression, in particular, fueled their anger.
One of the henchmen, unable to contain his temper, had already taken out a knife and started banging on the wooden stakes in the yard, shouting loudly at Lin Yifeng.
"What are you laughing at!"
"You think you're so great?"
"Get the hell down! Put your hands behind your head!"
Lin Yifeng remained unmoved and instead explained to Ye Yuqing beside him.
"Here you go."
"This is what I told you."
"Small swindlers steal money, big swindlers steal lives."
Ye Yuqing nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Lin Yifeng was not surprised by this.
The area around Huaqiangbei was already known for its poor security in the 1990s.
There are countless cases like this, where merchants who purchase electronic products are lured onto a vehicle under the pretense of "the source of goods is in the warehouse," only to be robbed and their bodies dumped in the wilderness along the way.
The situation is even more severe in the areas outside Huaqiangbei, such as Buji and Longhua.
The place Lin Yifeng and his group came from happened to be Buji.
This group of people usually do this kind of shady work.
The reason for this was that Huaqiangbei had a large floating population in the 1990s, lacked surveillance, and had limited police investigative techniques.
This group of people basically operate on a hit-and-run basis.
