Chapter 427 This body is so useless, even more useless than the previous one
"Can you help me save someone?"
The man approached, but kept a polite distance.
His clothes were so torn that they could hardly cover his body, and his face was so covered with dirt that his features could not be seen clearly. Only his eyes did not have the deadness and dullness that were seen in the other hostages' eyes.
Meng Zhiyi quickly looked at him, tilted his head, and asked calmly, "Who are you?"
The man pursed his lips and looked at the overly pretty girl in front of him, but his mind was still firmly fixed on the scene of her attack just now.
This girl is very skilled, and the man around her is no ordinary person either. They have dealt with so many criminals, so they should be able to help me save others, right?
Thinking of this, the man said more eagerly: "I am just an ordinary person, but the person who saved me is an undercover agent. He has been captured. Can you save him?"
Hearing the word "undercover", Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que looked at each other.
"Why should we believe you?" Shen Que asked in a light tone.
Hearing this, the man became even more anxious.
He tried to stumble over what to say, but the more anxious he got, the less words came out.
After a while, the man finally straightened his tongue and stammered, "Things... I have something he gave me."
As he spoke, the man began to search his body.
The two did not disturb each other and waited quietly until they saw the man unzip his pants and put his hand in. Shen Que covered Meng Zhiyi's eyes with his hands.
His brows furrowed slightly and he looked at the man with some displeasure.
The man seemed to realize that his behavior was inappropriate. After smiling embarrassedly, he turned his back and rummaged in his crotch for a long time.
"Here!" The man took out a wrinkled photo and handed it over.
"..." Meng Zhiyi fell silent. After a moment, he said speechlessly: "The place where you hide things is really special."
The man pursed his face in embarrassment: "Only if we hide here can we avoid being found by them."
Logically speaking, knowing that this photo was taken out from a man's crotch, Shen Que and Meng Zhiyi would not be happy to touch it.
But the current situation is special and the photo may be a very important clue.
Meng Zhiyi thought about it, and finally reached out to take it.
"Don't touch it." Shen Que grabbed her hand, his face full of displeasure.
Meng Zhiyi: "Why do you come? Don't you have a slight obsession with cleanliness?"
Shen Que took a deep breath, thinking that even if he was allergic, he had to do it at this time.
The photo was already very wrinkled, but after unfolding it, it was clear that it was a photo of two men. One of them was unfamiliar, but the other was Jiang Yubai, who had been out of touch for a long time.
"Who is the person you want to save?" Shen Que did not show that he knew Jiang Yubai.
The man pointed at another person in the photo and said, "This is me. I want you to save the person next to me."
Upon hearing this, Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que had already made some guesses in their hearts.
Meng Zhiyi asked, "Do you know where he is?"
The man nodded and began to talk about everything here.
"Over this mountain is the Myanmar border. Across a river is the industrial park. We all escaped from there and were caught by them."
"Originally, they had already contacted sellers to sell us all overseas. But your sudden appearance disrupted their plans."
"The man in the photo used to live in the same dormitory as me in the campus. I initially thought he was also deceived. It was not until we started planning to escape and he secretly helped us and asked me to help him send a message to his family that I realized he was an undercover agent."
"He asked you to send a message to your family? When did it happen?" Shen Que seized on this piece of information and asked.
Man: "Just two days ago, I sent an email for him. That's why they caught me."
Meng Zhiyi: "So, those people imprisoned here were deceived and then escaped?"
The man shook his head with a wry smile and replied, "Not entirely."
"Some were met online and tricked into forming a so-called boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, while others were lured by high salaries."
"But most of them came here voluntarily, knowing exactly what they were doing here. But after they came here, they couldn't stand the harsh environment and oppression, so they wanted to escape back."
At this point, the man did not continue the topic, but said anxiously: "You are very powerful, maybe you can really save the undercover policeman. After we escaped, he was discovered and fell into the hands of those devils. He would not survive."
Shen Que and Meng Zhiyi did not answer him immediately.
The man said in panic, "I know my request is too much, but calling the police is useless. The park and the local police are in collusion, and even the local residents have spontaneously become the park's security guards."
Shen Que returned the photo to him and said calmly, "We will handle this matter carefully. What you need to do now is to follow them back to the camp and tell the police everything you know."
"Okay, I understand." The man didn't continue to pester her. He put away the photo and walked out, following Meng Tinglan and the others out of the wooden house.
After everyone left, Shen Que and Meng Zhiyi did not delay and chased in the direction the criminals fled.
The further we go in, the denser the forest becomes. There is no so-called "road" anymore, and we have to rely on moving through the bushes and trees.
Fortunately, it had rained in the mountains a few days ago, and the soil on the ground was soft, leaving many footprints and traces of the criminals as they escaped.
The two followed the trail deeper and deeper until evening, when Meng Zhi was so hungry that he could not move and simply sat down on the spot.
"No, I'm starving. I've only eaten one apple since this morning."
Shen Que looked at her exhausted appearance, feeling both distressed and amused.
Seeing her beating someone up that day with such vigor and energy, he thought she wasn't feeling hungry.
Shen Que said, "Hold on a little longer. There's water further down. I'll catch some fish for you to eat."
Meng Zhiyi curled her lips, then sighed and said, "Let me sit for a while and take it easy."
Shen Que did not urge her. After sitting with her for a while, the two continued to walk down the mountain.
The way down the mountain was not easy to walk on. After walking for more than an hour, the two finally found a water source halfway up the mountain.
Meng Zhiyi was so hungry that his hands and feet were paralyzed, and he leaned against the tree without moving.
She panted and said faintly, "This body is so useless, even more useless than the previous one."
Shen Que wiped the sweat off her face, then took off his coat and gave it to her.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go see if there are any fish in the water." Shen Que went straight to the water's edge and walked around the shore, but did not see any fish.
He frowned, thinking that Meng Zhiyi was still hungry, so he simply went directly to the rocky beach downstream and turned over the rocks to look for her.
Although no fish were caught, some mountain crabs and small loaches were caught for Meng Zhiyi.
