The eight people entered the base in an orderly fashion, avoiding the minefield. Su Ying and Gu Nian pretended to be blindfolded and escorted them inside.
The couple looked left and right, memorizing all the important steps to entering the base.
Su Ying let out a scream like a groundhog in her mind.
OMG.
It's quite remarkable that such a small mountain could contain such a hidden paradise.
The couple confirmed their surprise with a glance.
Having dealt with such missions for many years, Gu Sinian was already used to it, but this time he was truly impressed.
There's a hidden world under a big tree, quite ingenious! The entrance is right under the tree; most people wouldn't notice it unless they were paying close attention.
It's quite a feat to use this spot under the tree as a hiding place.
The eight people came in from the back mountain, but once inside, the house didn't seem to be built in the back mountain at all.
It felt a bit like the back entrance, since the feeling was stronger once you got inside. A lot of girls were dragged in through the front entrance, mostly students.
Gu Sinian guessed it might be the school's front gate... but after observing from multiple angles, it didn't seem like it.
The couple exchanged glances and then guessed what kind of place they were in.
It's utterly depraved; such a sacred place has become a breeding ground for trafficking women and children.
Gu Sinian was seething with hatred, but the chubby man reminded the couple who were watching with great interest.
"You two should watch yourselves. If you're going to look, at least sneak a peek. You two are the first to look so openly."
"Stop looking. A group of people are being taken away today. If you don't want to be caught doing something fishy, you'd better put away your naive sympathy."
"Although we told you to memorize the escape route when you came in, with so many people guarding the area, it's harder than climbing to heaven for you to get out alive."
Su Ying snorted nonchalantly, "Don't think you're safe just because you took the antidote on the first day. There are still two days left, aren't there?"
"If we can't guarantee our safety for the remaining two days, the six of you will also perish with us."
The chubby man stared intently at Su Ying's entire body, scanning her from head to toe. This blatant staring drew Gu Sinian's displeasure.
"If you look around again, I'll gouge your eyes out."
"Don't even dream about finding the antidote on my wife. When we came in with you, my wife and I were afraid of being bitten in return, so we brought the antidote with us tomorrow."
“But we hid the antidote for the third day very well. You won’t find it even if you search your whole body.”
"Even if you find it, it will be the next day. The antidote is incomplete, and you still won't have a chance to live."
“If you dare to search my wife, I’ll cut off your hands. Provoking us won’t do you any good.”
"Even if you find the antidote for the second day, even if it means a fight to the death, I will not give you the antidote for the third day. You can try it if you don't believe me."
"You are not allowed to touch my wife. If you frighten my daughter and wife, I will take you all with me to the grave."
The chubby leader had a look on his face as if he'd eaten shit.
He never dreamed he would encounter two cunning old foxes.
They originally thought that bringing them to the base would allow them to retrieve the antidote hidden on their bodies, thus freeing them from their threats and making it easier to explain to the boss.
But now they're in a dilemma. Even if they get the antidote in three days, if the boss finds out that the six of them have betrayed him, they'll all be doomed.
I'm doomed either way, and I don't know what to do.
Gu Sinian had been in contact with these criminals for many years and probably understood some of their inner thoughts.
"Don't be fooled. As long as you six don't reveal our identities, I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The chubby man was so frightened by Gu Sinian's chilling gaze that he almost lost his balance.
As expected of a decisive and ruthless commander, he would never be controlled by others; this is merely a delaying tactic.
Before Commander Gu could take action against him, the boss had already gathered a lot of information about him.
She has handled tasks of all sizes, and no matter how difficult the task, she can complete it all.
The extent of Commander Gu's capabilities became clear during the encirclement and capture operation.
Otherwise, how could he be the youngest regimental commander in Beijing, reaching a peak that others take five or even eight years to achieve at the age of twenty-two?
This man is not to be trifled with.
These are not things that their small fry can handle.
They just wanted to survive, so they went both ways.
Regardless of which side wins, they will be able to survive.
Now we're truly in a bind.
Neither the boss nor he were easy to deal with.
Now they're in trouble.
“We understand, we get it. Don’t worry, we won’t betray you. Remember what you said: once you’ve captured everyone in the base, release the six of us. Commander Gu had better keep his word.”
Gu Sinian smiled slyly, "That's for sure."
He only promised to save their lives, and how he would do so would depend on the circumstances.
But they never said they would let them go.
If you try to play word games with him, he can't outmaneuver a young wife, nor can he outmaneuver these grown men.
"As long as you behave, I guarantee you'll live a carefree and unrestrained life; otherwise... you should know the consequences."
The chubby man nodded repeatedly. He understood that the best course of action now was to avoid both sides, at least to save his life.
The base has a very skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor. As long as they don't give themselves away and appear to be extremely loyal to the boss, they can succeed.
Once the two are dead, the boss will definitely have that traditional Chinese medicine doctor cure them of the poison.
The gloomy and sinister Mrs. Gu and Commander Gu were indeed worthy of being roommates; they were equally cunning and ruthless.
People who aren't family don't enter the same door.
They've really bitten off more than they can chew this time.
"We will do as Commander Gu and his wife instructed. As long as they don't discard us after we've served our purpose."
The couple gave an awkward smile. Faced with such heartless people, what did it matter if they used them and then discarded them? They only agreed to spare their lives, and as for how they managed to do so, the interpretation was in their hands.
"How could that be?"
"No, no."
No wonder he's a bad guy; he knows all the tricks and schemes of bad guys.
The couple smiled slyly and nodded repeatedly, which was tantamount to agreeing to their conditions.
Su Ying covered her eyes, but the half-open crack did not hinder her from doing her work at all.
After looking for a while, I guessed where they were.
It turned out to be a library.
The place with the most people of all ages.
The front door leads to the library, while the back door leads to a desolate mountainside. Changing targets is as easy as eating and sleeping.
They really know how to pick a location.
If she were still living in Shanghai, the library would still be her daily route.
These human traffickers are so ruthless!
