Before Tong Ze could answer, You Muqing said, "Don't scare him. He seems very timid. Don't frighten him. It's just a pile of skeletons. There's an Extreme Yang Formation inside. When someone dies, their soul is immediately scattered. No ghost can stay and cause trouble."
Zhu Fanfan became interested: "You can even understand formations?"
You Muqing said proudly, "Of course, our sect is very powerful, but I'm a bit slow and haven't learned anything. My master won't let me learn."
Tong asked, "Why can't you learn it?"
You Muqing shook her head: "I don't know either."
Zhu Fanfan said, "If you don't know, then forget it. Tong Ze, once they've all gathered, you take two people and make a phone call. Don't alert the local police yet; I don't trust them. The rest of you should quietly investigate the surrounding area to determine whether the entire village is involved or if it's just a few individuals committing crimes."
The group began to prepare, and after they were ready, they went about their respective tasks. You Muqing asked, "Why don't you need to prepare?"
Zhu Fanfan found a tree and went up to rest: "I'm the boss, I can rest and direct them to work."
You Muqing watched as the crowd dispersed: "Aren't you afraid they'll tell on you?"
Zhu Fanfan didn't answer, but said, "Let's spar about formations when we have time, and I'll see your true skills."
You Muqing refused: "I don't fight with people."
Zhu Fanfan said, "Meat is plentiful."
You Muqing immediately changed her mind: "However you say we should compete, that's how we should compete."
After a while, the group returned. Lan Pan reported first: "Squad leader, I observed that those human traffickers have a good relationship with three households in the village. The other households don't seem to have a good relationship with them. However, I can guess what they are doing, but they just haven't participated. As for the brigade leader, he should know about it too."
Tong Ze added: "What we found is about the same. The whole village is clan-based, with only a few households that moved here. Even if the brigade didn't participate, the clan should have been aware of it but didn't stop it, or couldn't stop it. The people here are very united. Even if the police come, we probably can't take those people away. We'll have to deploy the army."
Zhu Fanfan asked You Muqing, "What do you think of this village's fortune?"
You Muqing examined it carefully: "Evil spirits are already causing trouble, and the fortunes have been ruined. There will be no outstanding people in the next ten years, and no family will be reunited in twenty years unless they move away from this place."
Zhu Fanfan didn't say whether it was right or wrong, but asked, "Have you found out who has returned?"
Tong replied, "Squad leader, I estimate they should all be back around 5 p.m. I heard there are a few girls who were kidnapped. We should be able to close the net. Squad leader, I'm going to get reinforcements now. We can set up the operation and catch them red-handed."
Zhu Fanfan said, "Take Lan Pan and Gu Mingjie and hurry back. This time, we don't need to bother my grandfather. Just use my original pass."
The special pass she received was never taken back; anyone who saw it knew who she was.
Tong agreed and left with his men. He returned shortly after, and after exchanging greetings, they began to make arrangements. Once everyone was present, they went directly to the human traffickers' house.
The process went very smoothly. Even those who resisted were quickly subdued. Those who tried to escape were caught. Some even had hunting rifles that couldn't fire, the barrels were limp and they were just for show. They all surrendered.
When they were leaving, the brigade leader intervened, not believing that people from his village would traffic people. When Zhu Fanfan said that it would be reported and the brigade would not be eligible for the "Advanced Brigade" award for five years, the brigade dared to stop them and then shut down, watching helplessly as the people were taken away.
Next came the interrogation. The military has its own interrogation methods, and the trafficking gang was soon apprehended. It must be said that the country's punishment efforts are very strong now. The main perpetrators were all put on the gallows, and the accomplices were imprisoned for life. The brigade that protected the criminals was not only ineligible for the title of advanced brigade, but all subsidies were also canceled.
Some of the buyers of human traffickers, including some officials, secretly kept young and beautiful women as mistresses to cover for these gangs. They were all arrested and severely punished, and the situation here was reshuffled.
Zhu Fanfan has embarked on another treasure hunt, this time bringing You Muqing along. She doesn't want to give up on this capable person, but she also doesn't want to hand him over to the Dragon Group. So she can only take him along for now and see if they get along. If they don't, she'll quickly have the Dragon Group take him away.
After spending a few days together, they discovered that You Muqing had an enormous appetite. They said that while the soldiers had large appetites, You Muqing had an even larger one, capable of eating five bowls of mixed noodles in one meal, plus a small half bowl of gravy. Keep in mind that rice bowls are quite large these days. Knowing that she could eat a lot, she took the initiative to help along the way.
Zhu Fanfan then realized that she had gotten her nice clothes from the supply and marketing cooperative the night before she came down the mountain. However, when she put down the silver dollar and asked which supply and marketing cooperative it was, she couldn't remember.
Because You Muqing was skilled in feng shui, she came in handy at every location they visited. She could tell whether they had what they wanted. The group split into three teams and began searching. After about ten days of hard work, they found the location, reported their findings, and completed their mission.
After visiting all the locations involved in the case, half a year had passed. It was just in time to go back for the New Year. After returning to the army, they officially registered You Muqing's household registration and specially recruited her into the army. However, she did not like living in the army and insisted on applying to live at the Zhu family's house.
In the end, they had no choice but to follow the rules and arrange dormitories for them in the army. They had just returned and were given a two-week leave. During this time, You Muqing stayed at the Zhu family's house.
After not seeing him for half a year, Zhu Fanfan thought she had mistaken him for someone else when she first saw her grandfather. He had lost weight and didn't seem as energetic as before. He sincerely praised her for a long time, which made Zhu Fanfan stare at her grandfather for a while before saying, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Zhu Jiabao, feeling guilty, asked, "What could I possibly be hiding from you?"
Zhu Fanfan looked at her grandfather: "You used to look me straight in the eye when you talked to me, but now your eyes are darting around. Something's fishy."
Zhu Jiabao looked directly at Zhu Fanfan, and his momentum soon weakened: "Not long after you left, I got sick and was hospitalized for several months. Now I'm fine. I'm taking the medicine you gave me every day, and Jingqian said that my body has recovered quite well."
Zhu Fanfan asked definitively, "You had surgery? What kind of surgery?"
Zhu Jiabao was a little embarrassed: "I'm telling you, but you forget it in the blink of an eye. Your living grandfather is right here. I'm perfectly fine. You wait and see. I can do a few backflips right now to prove myself."
