Chapter 079 Chapter 79: Temptation and Coercion

Miao Mianmian had explained it so clearly, and Lin Yue was not a fool, so he naturally understood the meaning. These people did not know what they had heard from Zhang Xiaohui, and they suspected that Lin Yue had the same ability as her.

Zhou Quanan and Miao Mianmian might really think Lin Yue is a fool, thinking that she has no knowledge and can be easily seduced by a few words.

Lin Yue was somewhat shocked. She was a little anxious at first, as she had been captured for such a long time, and the people who were looking for her must be going crazy. However, Dacang Mountain was so large that Lin Yue herself didn't even know where they were, and it would be even more difficult for Liu Fang and the others to find her.

During this time, Lin Yue thought a lot. She was not in a hurry to go home. She thought that since she was already here, she might as well get more information. After all, this group of people had set their sights on her. She couldn't be completely ignorant of them. But she looked a little absent-minded, as if she didn't want to pay attention to Miao Mianmian.

Miao Mianmian was a little anxious. She was a newcomer and was eager to make a contribution. Seeing that Lin Yue ignored her, she was very angry, but she still had to show a caring look on her face and tried to test him again and again.

Zhou Quanan was already a little impatient. He looked down on Lin Yue from the bottom of his heart, thinking that she was just a rural woman. Even if she was really special, she was still ignorant. Just like Zhang Xiaohui, her status in the organization was almost equivalent to that of a saint in the feudal era. But in the eyes of these people, she was still just a tool to win people's hearts. If one day she was no longer useful, she could be discarded at will.

He coughed softly, made a gesture to Miao Mianmian, and went out first.

Miao Mianmian looked at Lin Yue unwillingly and followed him out.

As soon as the two moved, Lin Yue came back to her senses. This time, she was extremely alert and listened carefully to their conversation. Zhou Quanan whispered, "You don't need to test her anymore. When we evacuate, just take her away. Now that we are in our territory, are you afraid that we can't pry her open?"

Miao Mianmian hesitated and said, "But we still don't know if she is really useful. We have gone to so much trouble to bring her to the other side. What if she is really just an ordinary peasant woman? Wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Zhou Quanan snorted and laughed: "What are you afraid of? This place is close to the sea. If we go by sea, we will just have to take one more person with us. It won't be a big deal. If it's really a problem, at worst we can just throw it into the sea and it will be solved."

The two men came in from outside and stopped trying to test Lin Yue. Miao Mianmian even found a rope and tied Lin Yue up again. Lin Yue yelled, "What are you doing? Why are you tying me up?"

Miao Mianmian was annoyed by her noise, so she grabbed a rag and stuffed it into her mouth. Lin Yue was so scared that she quickly begged for mercy: "No, no, no, can't I just stop talking? Look how dirty this rag is. If I get sick again, I'll hold you back!"

Miao Mianmian paused, threw the rag aside, glared at Lin Yue fiercely, and threatened: "Behave yourself, or you will be in trouble!" The change in her attitude was shocking.

Lin Yue knew that these two people had completely lost their patience with her and her good days were over.

Zhou Quanan glanced at them coldly and snorted, "As long as you behave yourself and follow us, we can bring your child here for you. Then you and your child can all go back with us. You will have wealth and glory. Isn't it better than living your whole life in such a backward country, guarding the crops in the fields? But if you don't listen, I don't mind letting you and your child reunite in the underworld!"

Lin Yue was shocked and asked, "What do you mean? You are not police officers, so who are you? What did you do to my child?"

Zhou Quanan smiled grimly: "Be good, I promise your children will be fine. As long as you are obedient, you may have a higher status than me when you return. I won't do anything to you now!"

Lin Yue was anxious, not knowing whether he was telling the truth or was just trying to fool her. But she knew that now was not the right time to confront the two of them, so she hastily assured them, "As long as you let my child go, I promise to be obedient and will never cause any trouble for you! Just let me see the child!"

Zhou Quanan smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. You will naturally see the child when the time comes. Now, tell me about the 'magic food' that has appeared in your village in recent years. How much do you know?"

This smile of his was even more terrifying than before. Lin Yue felt a layer of cold sweat on her back. She had long suspected that these people had arrested her for this reason. She didn't understand why these people would suspect her, but she would definitely not admit such a thing. She just said with a frightened look: "I don't know. Only a few village cadres knew about the "divine food". The food appeared suddenly. I only know that it was the blessing given to us by the Snake Goddess!"

There was a hint of disappointment on Zhou Quan'an's face, and he didn't know if he really believed this. Anyway, he ignored Lin Yue.

Lin Yue knew that this person was using coercion and inducement, but perhaps he had not thought that she could escape, so he still heard a lot of information from her words. Zhang Yuandong must have done a good job in this mission, forcing these people to flee.

Moreover, the two of them kept looking towards the door, as if they were waiting for someone. Lin Yue boldly guessed that this might be one of their gathering points. To go to the beach, they had to pass through Dacang Mountain. These people wouldn't want to go through the mountain, right? They were really too brave. If they encountered a pack of wolves, no matter how many people they had, they would not be enough for them to eat.

Zhou Quanan and Miao Mianmian never took the initiative to talk to Lin Yue again. There was only one bed in the room, and the two of them arranged to take turns to keep watch at night. Zhou Quanan lay down on the bed with his clothes on, while Miao Mianmian sat at the table in a daze.

It was already late at night. Lin Yue moved his body with great effort, moved the stool to the corner of the wall, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

After all, she was still useful to them. The two of them would not kill her at this time. Besides, there were still people on guard, so she would not sit there stupidly all night.

But Lin Yue was not so careless. These two people were not easy to deal with. She only dared to take a nap and did not dare to really fall asleep.

Miao Mianmian felt very unhappy when she heard the harsh sound of the stool, but she saw that Zhou Quanan just opened his eyes and gave her a cold look. She didn't know what he meant, so she held back her temper.

The whole night passed peacefully amid the howling of wolves and the calls of various unknown animals. Until dawn, no one came into the cabin.

There was rice and noodles in the hut, which showed that they had prepared them long ago. Early in the morning, Miao Mianmian got up to light a fire and cook. Lin Yue was just worried about not having a suitable excuse to walk around, so he took the initiative to ask for help.

But now she was not treated as well as when she was first captured. Miao Mianmian tied her hair for a while, then went to get the rope and tied two more knots for her.

Lin Yue's group's food intake dropped rapidly. The two of them could at least eat rice dumpling soup, but Lin Yue could only chew on dried buns that had been there for who knows how long. Seeing that she couldn't chew it, Zhou Quan'an "kindly" untied the rope on her hand and brought her a bowl of cold water for her to soak in.

Over the next two days, Zhou Quan'an would occasionally ask Lin Yue about the Snake Goddess or the "divine food", but as soon as he heard Lin Yue start making up stories, he would sneer and stop asking.

The two of them looked towards the door more frequently, and sometimes stood outside to look into the distance, but unfortunately they never waited for the others to come. Zhou Quanan and Miao Mianmian became more and more anxious, especially Miao Mianmian. When Zhou Quanan was not around, Lin Yue saw regretful expressions on her face more than once.

The capture operation has been underway for nearly a week. The longer it takes, the lower the possibility of escape. Zhou Quanan's emotions have reached a critical point.

At dawn on the third day, he came back from outside and hurriedly dragged out a box from under an inconspicuous table against the wall. After opening it, he found it was full of hot weapons.

He took out a rifle from inside, turned around and gave Lin Yue a fierce look, then said to Miao Mianmian, "Tie her up tight and watch her carefully. Don't let her do anything."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

After a while, four gunshots were heard outside. The sound was so loud that the birds near the cabin were frightened and flew away.

After a long time, Zhou Quanan came back dragging a wild boar weighing two hundred pounds. There were no visible injuries on his body, but his clothes were dirty and torn, and it was almost impossible to tell that it was a police uniform.

Lin Yue was shocked. Neither she nor the original owner had ever seen a wild boar before. This forest was too big. It was possible that wild boars had come out of the mountains and injured people before, but as human activities became more and more widespread, no one had seen wild boars here for a long time.

Lin Yue had watched documentaries before and knew that wild boars usually appear in groups of at least two. This one was killed by Zhou Quanan nearby, so there might be more than one wild boar nearby. And the commotion just now was so loud, it would be troublesome if it attracted something else.

She watched coldly as the two people were excitedly discussing how to deal with this huge wild boar, and did not kindly remind them.

The gunshots did attract something, but fortunately they were not wolves, but a few people.

About two hours later, Zhang Xiaohui and a man appeared in the cabin.

This man was none other than the one who had walked with Zhang Xiaohui near the black market last time. Lin Yue had heard Zhang Yuandong talk about this man. Others called him "Brother Qiangzi" and he was considered a popular figure around their boss.

When they entered the house, Lin Yue discovered that the man had two children in his arms. Who could they be if not Xiao Wanli and Xiao Lingling? Lin Yue was shocked and stood up, but he almost fell because he was tied to the stool.

A small dark head popped up from behind "Brother Qiangzi", with messy hair and a pair of big black eyes. It was Zhang Xiaoxi. She ran behind Zhou Quanan, grabbed the hem of his clothes, and looked at Lin Yue from behind with ill intentions.
