Chapter 175 Preparing Dinner for Her Alone
Then came the girl's timid voice, "No, I'm not afraid."
It sounds like there's absolutely no confidence involved; it's just about protecting one's own self-esteem, which doesn't really need to be protected.
The man chuckled, raised his hand to touch her face, and teased, "If you're not afraid, I'll let you sleep alone tonight."
"..." Momo was stunned, not expecting him to say that. She subconsciously glanced around a few more times, pursed her lips tightly, and then reluctantly agreed, "Okay."
Fu Yungui chuckled, but didn't expose her, letting her continue pretending.
With such pitiful courage, it'll probably all be gone once it gets dark.
We'll see if she comes looking for me then.
They might cry and beg to crawl into my arms.
Just imagining such a scene is quite wonderful.
The houses looked dilapidated from the outside, but the inside was decent enough to be habitable.
Anu and his men did a quick clean-up so they could lie down and take a short nap. They wouldn't have time to sleep all night anyway, as they would have to take turns keeping watch.
Nar and the others returned shortly afterward.
The sky had already darkened. Momo glanced at the time; it wasn't even five o'clock yet, and there was no light looking up from here.
A dark mass loomed overhead, creating an incredibly oppressive atmosphere.
This shows just how dense this forest is.
Fu Yungui and Nar were talking inside, not letting her get close. Momo found it strange, wondering what they were talking about so mysteriously, but she didn't ask any more questions, afraid that asking too many questions would easily arouse the man's suspicion.
So she was bored and just wandered around in front of the house.
As soon as they swayed to the back of the car, they saw a wisp of smoke rising from behind a few trees.
She was a little curious as to why there was smoke in this place; such smoke was clearly produced by someone burning something.
Momo wanted to see what was going on, but she was also hesitant to go forward.
Just as he was hesitating, he saw Anu emerge from behind the tree.
Momo was taken aback, but after recognizing the person, she immediately walked over.
"Anu, what are you doing?" Momo asked blankly.
They were having a meeting inside, so why is Anu burning things here?
Anu patiently explained to her, "I'm cooking."
Upon hearing this, the girl peeked out and saw a tripod made of several wooden sticks. The fire underneath was burning brightly, while the top was covered up so that the contents inside could not be seen clearly.
How much food can this little pot hold?
It was like food for a cat, a pitifully small amount.
There were about twenty of them who came together; this pot probably wouldn't be enough for each person to have a mouthful.
Anu looked at the girl's expression and, although she didn't say anything, seemed to understand what she meant.
"It's just for you." Before she could ask, Anu explained directly, "Brother Yun told me to cook you a hot dinner."
Momo was taken aback by these words, and then asked, "And what about you?"
"We have our own dinner."
They generally avoid using fire when on missions, because open flames would reveal their position and are also troublesome to start.
Among this group of grown men, very few knew how to cook.
But this time, because she brought along a little girl who couldn't get used to surviving in the wild, Anu received orders to start a fire and make Huang Momo a hot dinner.
The others continued as before, eating the compressed biscuits or chocolates they had brought.
However, they were all used to it; this was the most convenient food to eat when on missions.
"Oh." Momo didn't ask any more questions, but simply said to him, "Thank you, thank you for your trouble."
"Don't mention it, I'm just carrying out a mission." Anu maintained his businesslike attitude.
Momo stopped talking, afraid of disturbing him, and turned to walk back.
As soon as he took half a step, he was stopped by the person behind him.
"Miss Huang, why don't you eat first? It'll be ready soon anyway," Anu said.
Anyway, she doesn't seem to have anything going on right now, so let's take care of her things first to avoid trouble later.
Momo turned to look at him. Although she had eaten quite a lot at noon and wasn't very hungry, she still replied, "Okay."
After all, this was specially burned for herself, and it was Fu Yungui's order. Momo didn't want to make things difficult for anyone, nor did she want to delay Anu's affairs.
After all, they came here to do business. She didn't know the specifics, but it must be something important that couldn't be delayed.
Otherwise, Fu Yungui wouldn't have come here to suffer.
It was already completely dark, and the people inside the house hadn't come out yet, so Anu brought the small pot to her in the car and told her to stay inside and eat.
Otherwise, there will be a lot of mosquitoes outside after dark. If I get bitten then, Brother Yun will blame me again.
Momo followed his instructions and sat inside, eating slowly. She had nothing else to do besides eat, so she simply used eating to pass the time.
Inside the house, two beams of flashlight shone directly onto the ceiling, instantly brightening the area below.
The man sat back in his chair with his legs crossed, a cigarette between his fingers. Nar and the others sat casually opposite him in portable chairs they had brought with them.
“Brother Yun, the location of that drug manufacturing plant has been confirmed. It’s quite remote, next to a small river,” Night Hawk said first.
Drug manufacturing requires water, and the production process of some drugs produces extremely unpleasant odors, so the location of many drug manufacturing plants needs to be carefully considered.
It shouldn't be in a densely populated area, nor in a desolate place. The best place is the suburbs far from populated areas, where there will be water sources and the smell won't spread.
Of course, in Wa State, drug production is almost commonplace. Before the ban on drugs, every household was essentially producing drugs on their own.
Because the raw opium paste scraped directly from poppies can be inhaled directly.
Therefore, it is not surprising that they located the drug manufacturing site anywhere.
However, since the anti-drug order was issued, everything that was previously out in the open has had to be hidden.
"That place isn't very big, but there are quite a lot of people inside, though most of them are missing limbs."
Those forced to help Wenlai manufacture drugs were mostly local residents. They were arrested and had their hands and feet broken to prevent them from running away or stealing drugs.
The man flicked his cigarette ash and looked at Nar. "Tell me your thoughts."
Nar immediately replied, "Nighthawk and I looked around the area. Destroying it would be a piece of cake; it would only take one missile."
