"No, no, no!" Xue Bing waved her hands repeatedly.
"Show me!" The man reached out and grabbed Xue Bing's head.
Xue Bing was forced to peek into the box to see what was inside.
"Did you see it clearly?"
Xue Bing stared wide-eyed; it was cow's heart.
He had seen it at the market; it was indeed beef heart.
"Look... I can see it clearly now."
The man withdrew his hand and sealed the box again: "This thing is a treasure; eating its heart will nourish your heart."
"Yes, eating heart can nourish the heart." Xue Bing felt her heart beating a little fast and needed to go home and buy a pig's heart to make soup.
"Look at you, you coward. You don't actually think we've been doing illegal things all this time, do you?"
"How could that be!" Xue Bing's alarm bells went off, but she smiled sheepishly. "You guys are always so secretive. I was just curious."
"Let's go, it's quite cold in here, let's go outside for a smoke." The man smiled and put his arm around Xue Bing's shoulder, leading her outside.
Xue Bing was practically led along, her eyes not daring to look around. Just as they reached the door, a man carrying goods slipped, and a box fell to the ground.
Xue Bing glanced at it, her heart racing, and her breathing becoming rapid.
He saw the bones soaking in the glass bottle.
That bone...
Based on his knowledge from special training, he could tell that they were human bones!
Xue Bing secretly glanced at the person hooked around her arm, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he hadn't noticed anything and hadn't even looked at the box.
...
Xue Bing wanted to send the news of the discovery of human bones in the icehouse back home, but found that the message could not be sent.
There must be some kind of signal shielding device around.
He didn't think much of it, assuming that the warehouse was in the suburbs and therefore the signal was bad.
He finished his cigarette and returned to the driver's seat.
As usual, he planned to take a nap and wait for them to finish unloading before driving back.
"Xue Bing!" someone called out to him.
He woke up, looked out of the car, and saw the man who had brought him into the cold storage waving at him, signaling him to get out of the car.
He didn't get out of the car rashly, but rolled down the window and asked loudly, "What happened?"
"Come down and have a smoke."
"I'm not smoking anymore."
"I have something to tell you. Come down here."
Seeing his mysterious demeanor, Xue Bing, eager to succeed, got out of the car.
Just as he reached the man's side, more than a dozen people rushed out from around the corner and surrounded him.
"What do you mean?" Xue Bing tried to remain calm and looked at the man with a puzzled expression.
The man scoffed, "What do you mean? The message won't go through?"
Xue Bing was flustered, but tried to remain calm: "I can't send it. I want to send a message to my mother, but the signal is probably bad here, so I can't send it."
"Stop pretending! Keep pretending!" the man ordered. "Go, take his phone away!"
"What are you doing!" Xue Bing tried her best to stop them.
But there were too many people. He was restrained by three people, and a fourth person reached into his pocket and took out his phone.
The man opened the unsent message and grinned maliciously: "Human bones? You can tell it's human bones at a glance."
The man clapped his hands: "That's amazing!"
"Do you want to know what those bones were used for?"
"Don't be afraid, don't tremble. This isn't a cold storage room. It's not cold, so why are you trembling?"
The man leaned close to his ear and chuckled, "You know about cosmetic surgery? Women who want to become more beautiful don't care where the bone in their noses comes from."
"These bones are all cartilage cut from corpses, perfect for making noses. They just tend to smell bad, but the stench is inside the body, so women who want to be beautiful don't care. They look glamorous, and a little perfume can cover up the stench of the corpse."
"Don't look at me with such a terrified look. We didn't kill anyone, nor did we use any living person's soft tissue."
"Where did you come from? Let me guess. Judging by your intelligence, you're probably not from our rivals, but from the Dragon Kingdom, right?"
"After receiving training, I can identify human bones. I'm quite skilled."
"Tie him up and throw him into the cold storage."
"Won't they freeze to death?" one of his men asked worriedly. "They weren't sent by the enemy; killing them will cause trouble."
"Let's put him in the cold storage for now and let him suffer a bit. We can't let him die so easily."
Xue Bing had her mouth and hands taped shut and was thrown into a cold storage.
His body gradually lost temperature, and frost appeared on his eyebrows and eyelashes.
Just when he thought he was about to freeze into an icicle, the cold storage door opened.
He saw light.
A woman walked out in the light, with a graceful figure and beautiful curves, wearing a pair of sky-high heels.
It was dark under the lamp, and he couldn't see her face clearly for a moment.
He couldn't see the woman's face clearly until she walked up to him and squatted down.
It's a female manager!
The hope that ignited in my heart turned into despair.
They're in cahoots; they're not reinforcements at all.
Perhaps it's to torture themselves.
The female manager held a razor blade close to Xue Bing.
Xue Bing felt a chill run down his spine, but the next second, his eyes widened in surprise.
The female manager didn't kill him with a razor blade; instead, she cut the tape with it.
Xue Bing was freed. She tore off the tape from her mouth and asked incredulously, "Why did you save me?"
"What's so strange about someone of the same kind saving someone of the same kind?"
"similar?"
“I was also tricked into coming here by them. I hate them and wish they would all go down. You gave me hope, so we are the same kind of people and both wish them to go down.”
Xue Bing asked worriedly, "You saved me, aren't you afraid they'll kill you?"
“They will never know that I saved you. Can I still be considered a good person now? They already think I've been assimilated. I have too much blood on my hands, and there's no turning back. They think someone like me could never betray them.”
Xue Bing already had feelings for the female manager and tried his best to nip those feelings in the bud, but now they seem to be sprouting again.
He grasped the female manager's hand: "I'll take you with me, we'll escape together! Don't get any deeper into this mess. You can be a witness, you can gain your freedom!"
"It's impossible. I've made too many mistakes. There's no turning back. You should hurry. They're coming soon. I don't have much time left!"
"I must take you with me!"
"If you don't leave, you'll drag me down with you! You'd better leave now!"
Xue Bing kept turning back to look at him as she took a step.
"Hurry up and leave, if they find us, none of us will have a good ending!"
Xue Bing gritted her teeth, then ran away in silence.
He felt utterly despicable at that moment; how could he abandon the woman who had saved him and leave alone?
But he also knew that, just as the female manager had said, if he didn't run away, neither of them would have a good ending. If he ran away, the female manager could pretend that nothing had happened, and no one would suspect her.
Xue Bing handed the news he brought back to his superiors.
The troops were dispatched swiftly, and the warehouse was completely surrounded. Special police officers with guns rushed into the warehouse to search it.
After searching, not only were there no human bones, but there wasn't even a cow's heart, as Xue Bing had mentioned.
Xue Bing exclaimed in disbelief, "I really saw it! That person even told me that those bones were taken from corpses and were specifically used to make prosthetic noses!"
The veteran special forces soldier sighed, "Xiao Xue, you've been tricked, and we've all been tricked."
It might not be so easy to find a reason to search this company's goods again in the future; we've already alerted them.
Xue Bing realized what had happened, and was shocked and hurt.
It's her!
Female manager!
She pretended to let him go, but it was just a ploy to lure the snake out of its hole.
Once they escaped, they cleaned up everything, leaving the people of the Dragon Kingdom with no clues and no reason for such a large-scale search as this time.
The female manager approached, a seductive smile like a venomous snake: "We didn't find anything, and you've wasted our time. Shouldn't you compensate us for our losses?"
