Chapter 274 Undercurrent
There are two passages leading into the yard. One is the narrow alley that she and Guo Yang entered, and the other passage has not been discovered yet.
But Guo Yang was thin and his sudden appearance here would surely make the traffickers know that the alleyway had been discovered and they would definitely send someone to guard it.
Unable to leave the passage, Ye Rou is now trapped here.
Ye Rou calmed down and speculated on the possible responses of the human traffickers to Guo Yang's sudden appearance.
1. The human traffickers were startled and when they saw Guo Yang, they thought this place was unsafe and hurriedly moved through another secret passage.
Before the transfer, they will come to pick up the people they abducted, and they will definitely find the human trafficker who was knocked unconscious by her.
The traffickers might become aware of her existence and search for her.
Then, no matter where Ye Rou hides, she will be found by them, and sooner or later she will face a one-on-many situation.
2. The traffickers interrogated Guo Yang and learned of his identity as a police officer. They believed that it was unsafe to move the abducted people through the secret passage, so they held the abducted people hostage and defended the place to the end, resisting the police to the end.
No matter which possibility it is, the human traffickers will come to this room and will definitely find the person who disappeared and was knocked unconscious by her. Her whereabouts will be exposed sooner or later.
Unless she takes action before they find out.
After all, she is in the dark and the enemy is in the light.
You have to act quickly and don't give them time to react.
Ye Rou made up her mind and looked around. The room was empty. The traffickers must have cleaned it up in advance because they were afraid that the abducted people would use things to escape.
She was just worrying about having no place to hide people when the young girl with her hands and feet tied suddenly hummed.
Ye Rou looked over and saw the four girls scurrying to make way for them.
She walked over and took away the cloth that was blocking the girl's throat.
The girl stretched her face, which was sore from being stuffed, and said, "There's a hole under this board. Someone can hide there."
Ye Rou lifted the wooden board and saw that the square cellar was just big enough to hide someone.
Hiding the person here and prolonging the time before being discovered can give her more time.
She no longer hesitated, picked up the trafficker, made sure the ropes around his hands and feet were tied tightly, stuffed a cloth into his mouth, and after making sure it was secure, threw him in.
After the wooden board was covered, the four girls moved back and sat down to block that spot.
"Sister, please cover my mouth."
Ye Rou nodded and gently let the girl bite the cloth strip.
After making sure everything was back to how it was before, Ye Rou opened the window and looked back.
The five abducted children gathered around the girl like little birds.
They huddled together and looked at her with hope.
Ye Rou nodded to them, pushed open the window, and jumped out nimbly.
——
The skinny monkey was lying on the kang covered with a straw mat, humming a song with his legs crossed.
He and Li Mazi, one is responsible for kidnapping people and the other is responsible for medicines.
When Li Mazi was arrested, Master Qu was furious and asked them to evacuate from the capital as soon as possible.
But the police were blocked on their fixed route out of Beijing.
They had no choice but to hide in this yard and wait for the opportunity to escape from the capital.
Li Mazi is a drug addict and can't hold out for long. Fortunately, he has never been to this place and won't tell the police.
Skinny Monkey and his men hid here for five days, and Sister Hong suddenly came to their door.
Let them kidnap a little girl and say someone paid a high price for her.
The skinny monkey had nothing to do with it. They had already kidnapped five children in Beijing, alarming many police officers. Now kidnapping people was like walking on a tightrope. If they were not careful, they would surely die.
But Sister Hong is his boss and also his god of wealth, so he can't afford to offend her.
The skinny monkey could only take his men to scout the area and look for an opportunity to take action.
The family kept a close eye on the little girl and watched her for a long time before they finally got the child.
Sister Hong completed her mission and Shouhou breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Qu called them twice every three days, urging them to find an opportunity to leave Beijing as soon as possible.
Skinny Monkey didn’t understand why he was so anxious. His father was going to be the leader, so why was he afraid of the police?
Thinking of this, the skinny monkey felt even more indignant.
Mr. Qu is a waste, but he has a good father.
He was a skinny guy who worked himself to death, running around, and most of the money he earned was taken by Mr. Qu, so he didn't save much money over the years.
He had originally thought that he could make a fortune by coming to Beijing, Mr. Qu's territory, but he was targeted just after kidnapping a few people. He had to hide here and there in a panic, and now he had to leave in disgrace like a rat.
Because of this thought, the skinny monkey was not so enthusiastic about evacuating from the capital. When Master Qu urged him, he just agreed.
He was also waiting for Mr. Qu's father to become the leader so that he could do big things in Beijing.
Thinking about the good days in the future, the skinny monkey's legs shook even more happily.
He loosened his belt and waited for a long time but Lengzi didn't come back. He sat up impatiently with a dark face.
"This bastard, why does it take so long to find a woman?"
"Don't let this brat get too excited and start playing with himself."
The skinny monkey couldn't wait any longer, so he jumped off the kang and went to look for someone.
Suddenly I heard a loud noise outside.
"Bang!"
Someone pushed the door open and came in, "Brother, someone broke in."
The skinny monkey's face changed, "Police?"
"He wasn't wearing a police uniform and didn't look like a police officer."
The skinny monkey frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Take me to see it."
He forgot about Lengzi and was only thinking about the guy who was caught.
——
There was a mixed smell in the east wing. A woman was curled up on a straw mat in the corner, her hair covering her face.
The man who had just been captured was hanging from the beam.
As soon as Skinny Monkey entered, he saw Sister Hong’s back.
He cursed inwardly, forced a smile, and then stepped forward to greet her, "Sister Hong."
Sister Hong had a calm expression and glanced at the skinny monkey.
She stepped aside, revealing the captured man.
The skinny monkey looked around at the man and said, "He's so thin, he doesn't look like a policeman. Did he come in by mistake?"
Sister Hong shook her head. "Can anyone just barge into this place?"
She was the one who found this yard and spent a lot of effort on it.
The entrance is hidden and ordinary people cannot find it at all.
Sister Hong's voice was extremely cold. "Did you come back and not take care of your mess, so you're being targeted?"
"How is that possible!" Skinny Monkey quickly explained when he heard it: "When we left with the little girl, the police didn't come at all. If they could have caught up with us, they would have to have smelled the scent and found us."
As he finished speaking, his tone became more and more determined. Seeing that Sister Hong's expression was not relaxed, he comforted her, "This kid may not be a policeman."
Sister Hong's brows were always furrowed.
She stared at the hung man, without shouting or fear. As she stared at him, the man raised his chin with an expression of fearlessness and righteousness, ready to die.
Sister Hong's voice became even colder as she said, "He must be a policeman."
The skinny monkey was confused and asked, "Why?"
A trace of impatience flashed across Sister Hong's eyes. "Most people would have peed their pants in a situation like this. Does this kid look scared to you?"
The skinny monkey noticed this and his relaxed expression changed.
He took the stick angrily and stabbed it hard in the stomach.
The hung man groaned in pain, his expression still defiant.
The skinny monkey said angrily: "Beat him until he opens his mouth!"
Two men came forward with sticks.
The sound of the stick hitting the flesh was particularly creepy.
The woman hiding in the corner shrank back.
Sister Hong's expression remained unchanged as she said in a deep voice, "Leave two people to conduct the interrogation, and the others will take guns and guard the two entrances."
Others took action.
Sister Hong gave Shouhou a look.
Skinny Monkey followed her out.
When they were alone, Sister Hong whispered, "Leave now."
The skinny monkey frowned, "It's so sudden. Even if that guy is a policeman, it will take him a lot of effort to get in."
"Don't talk nonsense." Sister Hong interrupted him. "I'm not discussing this with you. The police are keeping an eye on this place, so it's only a matter of time before they break in. I'll take the girl away, and you can handle the rest on your own."
She also warned: "The quieter the better, and don't tell anyone else."
Skinny Monkey understood what Sister Hong meant.
The two of them escaped, leaving the others as scapegoats.
Seeing that he understood, Sister Hong said no more and left in a hurry.
"Damn it." The skinny monkey cursed, no longer hesitated, and hurried into the room.
After closing the door, he knelt in front of the earthen kang and groped with his fingers. When he touched a brick, he was delighted and quickly took out the brick and reached in.
He pulled out the package hidden inside and opened it to reveal five gold bars.
"Not a single cent is missing." The skinny monkey smiled and put the gold bar into his arms. He stood up and turned around, his pupils suddenly dilated.
The extremely beautiful woman raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile.
