"Five hundred million? Brother, that's quite a demand. I don't have that. And my woman won't stay either."
"Then there's no point in talking further. I'll have to send you both away."
"Wait, are you sure you can send us away?"
"On this patch of land in Jieyang, my word is my bond. If you don't believe me, you can try!"
"No need to try. Since you don't want us to have it easy, I guess none of us will." Guo Xuyang said, directly hypnotizing Fang Xiuming and extending his senses to him.
"Who tipped you off?"
"It was Xiao Xin. He saw the raw stones you bought from him being loaded."
"What do you plan to do?"
"Stop the trucks, bring the goods back to our workshop. Then send that woman away, with tonight's truck to the seaside, and then to Dongying tomorrow."
"What about the man?"
"Send him out too. They need organs over there. The parts on his body should fetch a good price."
"How will you stop the trucks?"
"That's our convoy. We just need to detain the guards."
"Is that person alright?"
"He's fine. He's being held in the carriage. We'll send him away with you once you're all secured."
"Who's your boss?"
"I'm the boss here."
"I asked who your boss is?"
Fang Xiuming was asked twice and struggled slightly. He seemed very scared, very fearful.
"It's me. No one else."
"Take me there now. I want to see who else is there."
Guo Xuyang controlled Fang Xiuming to walk back.
It was a farmhouse workshop. The taxi driver who drove them earlier was also sitting in the workshop.
There were about ten more people in the workshop, some holding machetes, and two holding pistols.
These should be Fang Xiuming's subordinates.
They were puzzled when they saw Guo Xuyang and Fang Xiuming walk in together. But before they could react, Guo Xuyang hypnotized them all.
"Where is the convoy now? Where is the woman you captured?"
"At Youshun Car Dealership."
"Take us there now."
Guo Xuyang controlled Fang Xiuming, got into the taxi, and headed towards Youshun Car Dealership.
On the way, he let Xiao Yun and Cheng Xiuping out, telling them to find a taxi to the airport and call him when they reached the provincial capital.
He was now preparing to rescue Wu Youzhi, and then take Fang Xiuming to Youshun Car Dealership.
Less than half an hour later, they arrived at Youshun Car Dealership.
Youshun Car Dealership was not far from the highway entrance and exit, making it very convenient for transportation.
Twenty to thirty large trucks were parked in the yard, it was unclear if they belonged to the dealership or were resting vehicles.
"Now, have the convoy leader send my goods away. Take the guards and leave immediately." Guo Xuyang parked the taxi at the entrance of the yard and controlled Fang Xiuming to contact the convoy captain and order them to depart.
"Okay." Fang Xiuming took out his phone. "Old Tian, something's happened. Hurry up and take the guards and deliver the goods. Be very careful on the road, and make sure the guards are safe."
"What? But..." A voice came from the phone.
"No 'buts'. Leave quickly. We've hit a snag, someone's looking into it. I'll treat you all to drinks when we get back."
"Alright then." Cheers came from the phone. "Let's go, let's go, stop messing around, there's trouble, hurry up and go."
Guo Xuyang and the others watched as truck after truck drove past their taxi and onto the highway.
After the convoy escorting the raw stones had left, Guo Xuyang controlled Fang Xiuming to get out of the taxi and into the yard of Youshun Car Dealership.
There were still two container trucks in the yard. These should be the containers where the women were held, as Xiao Yun had mentioned.
He peered intently. Inside the containers, twenty to thirty women were locked up near the driver's cabins, densely covered with vegetables. If not inspected carefully, it would be impossible to find the women inside.
These women were indeed very beautiful. It was unclear where they were found.
He quietly became invisible and walked into the building of Youshun Car Dealership with Fang Xiuming.
The building was a large room. On the left were six square tables and more than a dozen round stools. The tables were laid out with mahjong tiles and playing cards, likely left behind by the people who had just left.
On the right were six bunk beds, with clothes and bedding scattered on them. A few people were lying on them, resting.
Someone saw Fang Xiuming enter and came to greet him: "Boss, why are you here so late?"
"I'm here to see how preparations are going. Have they been contacted?"
"They've been contacted. Boss, what time should they leave?"
"Leave now. Something has happened over there, it's been discovered by the higher-ups. Be careful on the road."
Leave now? He hadn't expected Fang Xiuming to say that. He realized that the hypnosis system wasn't always guaranteed to control people with strong willpower completely according to his intentions.
He couldn't let these people leave, as there were still twenty to thirty women in the trucks. If these people were sent away, who knew how many families would be ruined.
He decided to hypnotize everyone in the house, have them open the container doors, and let all the women out into the room.
These women didn't know why Fang Xiuming and the others had brought them inside, and they were all trembling with fear.
Among them, one woman was relatively calm. She stared vigilantly at Fang Xiuming, afraid they might harm her.
Guo Xuyang was curious about this woman and extended his senses to her. *Did I get discovered? Impossible. Where did I slip up? Is this mission a failure? I can't give up until the last moment.*
He saw the woman press a button on her cuff and focused his gaze. It turned out to be a small camera. He didn't know if it was for real-time synchronization or just for recording.
He became even more curious about the woman. Ordinary police officers wouldn't carry such high-tech equipment, let alone be on a mission alone.
To avoid exposing himself and ensure his safety, he concentrated and examined the woman from head to toe.
The woman had four scars on her back. One was above her shoulder blade, likely a bullet wound, corresponding to the scar below her collarbone in the front.
There was a scar on her abdomen, likely from a sharp object like a serrated dagger or a triangular scraper.
On the woman's upper chest, there was a red plum blossom, very unique.
He didn't know if it was a tattoo or a birthmark.
Li Minyu felt as if she had been completely stripped bare without understanding why.
Guo Xuyang noticed these details and his mind raced. He quickly made a decision, letting these people continue their journey.
He didn't know why this woman was among the group. He didn't want to lose sight of the bigger picture, or put himself in a position of exposure due to a moment of kindness, making others, especially special departments, suspicious of him.
