Guo Xuyang controlled Fang Xiuming to issue orders, have all these women hidden on the truck, and depart immediately for the assembly point.
He simultaneously sent a message to Cheng Xiuping, telling them to handle the raw stones delivered by the container, as he would not be back for some time. He instructed them not to worry and that his phone would be unreachable during this period. Then, using his storage ability, he put his phone into his mind.
He stealthily turned invisible and slipped into the container. He dared not stay in the same container as the woman on the mission, fearing she might discover him.
After they got on the highway, Fang Xiuming gradually recovered, but he couldn't remember how he ended up at the You Shun Vehicle Dealership. He only felt an inexplicable fatigue and a desire to find a place to sleep well.
It wasn't just him who wanted a good night's sleep. Guo Xuyang was even more exhausted. After getting into the vehicle, he leaned against a pile of vegetables and fell into a deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by the commotion outside.
Focusing his senses, he saw that it was already bright daylight. The container he was in was exiting the highway and, for some reason, had been stopped by toll booth personnel.
"We have legal documents, why aren't we allowed to use the green channel?" a driver-like figure was questioning.
"Your word isn't enough. Unload all these vegetables, and I'll see if they are indeed legal. Are there any other items?" the toll booth staff's tone was very aggressive.
"You..." the driver was so angry he couldn't speak.
"What about you? Hurry up and pay, or everything will be unloaded." the staff member was impatient.
"We'll pay, we'll pay. It's our fault for not being careful." another driver quickly came to smooth things over.
He paid according to the receipt issued by the staff, grabbed the driver, and left.
"You damn bastard, what time is it? Huh. Hurry up and go," the driver who paid cursed.
The two vehicles set off again.
After the vehicles drove away, the toll booth staff took out a walkie-talkie: "The goods have exited the highway and are heading towards your area. Please observe carefully along the way, please observe carefully along the way."
It turned out this was not an accident, but a pre-arranged checkpoint.
It seemed that the camera in Li Minyu's hand was a real-time tracker. Pity those people were still unaware.
The vehicle drove all the way to a farmhouse near the port before stopping.
Four or five burly men came out, said a few words to the driver, and then directed the women from the container to get down.
Guo Xuyang, still invisible, walked into the room. The room was spacious and very clean. However, there was a strong smell of the sea, and along the west wall was a row of refrigerators containing seafood. This fishy smell must have been emitted by these marine fish.
No, after careful observation, he discovered that there was another secret within the walls—a hidden passage leading far away.
At the entrance of the hidden passage was an airport security check gate.
This showed the meticulousness of the person who designed this passage.
He tried to look as far as he could, but he couldn't see the end.
He figured this passage must be quite long. He could only see a hundred meters at most.
Alas, if only he had enough money. He could upgrade now. But it wasn't the time for complaining.
While he was musing, these women had already been driven out of the container.
"I know some of you are thinking of getting rich, and others have other ideas. I don't ask about your motives, nor how you got here. Since you are on my territory, you must obey me," a man with an ugly appearance said loudly.
"Before reaching our destination, if any of you causes trouble for me, I will throw her into the sea to feed the fish. Don't blame me for being ruthless then. You can go into the room and rest for a while. I will call you when it's time to leave."
It turned out that not all these people were kidnapped; some were willing to go along to get rich.
This money was probably not easy to earn.
The women entered the room and found places to squat or sit.
The driver at the door took the money from the ugly man, said hello, and drove away.
Near noon, a man came in from outside, took out a few boxes of instant noodles, and distributed them to the women.
Poor Guo Xuyang could only watch others eat helplessly.
How could he not go hungry? Just because he couldn't eat now didn't mean he couldn't eat later.
Collect. He silently recited.
He took a portion of the beer, drinks, dried salted fish, instant noodles, and bread from the room, enough for him for three or four days.
At this moment, he saw the woman on the mission looking somewhat surprised and observing her surroundings.
Did she see him collecting things? He couldn't help but wonder.
In fact, that was exactly what happened.
Li Minyu was lost in thought looking at a box of beer. She didn't know how these people would be transported next; she could only take it one step at a time.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the beer had disappeared.
She thought she was hallucinating, but after looking around carefully, she confirmed she wasn't.
She clearly remembered there were two packs of dried salted fish on the table when they entered, and now they were gone.
The man had brought out four boxes of instant noodles earlier, but only opened three. The remaining box was also gone.
She didn't believe in ghosts, so she quietly turned on her camera and scanned the entire room.
Guo Xuyang clearly saw Li Minyu's small actions and knew that she had discovered him collecting things.
But she didn't know who did it. This made things easier. He was waiting for the right moment to get his hands on that camera.
The sky soon turned dark, and the wind outside was strong.
The ugly man came in, herded all the women into the eastern room, and then quietly pressed a switch inside the refrigerator by the west wall.
The wall silently slid open, revealing a huge pit.
He herded all the women into the hole.
One man led the way with a flashlight, and every five women, another man followed with a flashlight. As Li Minyu was entering the pit, Guo Xuyang stuck out his foot and tripped her, almost causing her to fall, and smoothly snatched the camera.
Collect. He silently recited. He put the camera into his mind. He then mingled with the women.
Li Minyu didn't realize that Guo Xuyang had saved her once, and she still hadn't realized that the camera was lost.
Meanwhile, Guo Xuyang had put the camera away, and the people monitoring outside began to panic.
They saw these people disappear into the pit, and then Li Minyu stumbled, after which the signal was lost.
They didn't know what problem Li Minyu had encountered. They quickly executed the second plan, closely monitoring all ships by the sea, and at the same time sent people to surround the farmhouse.
When Guo Xuyang and the others emerged from the pit, they found themselves in a sea cave.
A fishing boat was quietly floating on the water inside.
Seeing them approaching, the fishing boat started up and took them all aboard.
At this moment, people behind them caught up.
"Stop, you are surrounded."
