Chapter 185 Survey
Reading Settings
“Okay, we’ll leave as soon as it gets dark…” Lu Zhiheng had already borrowed a car this morning, just so it would be convenient to go there to survey the terrain tonight.
Wu Meifang originally wanted to go along, but she was too excited just now and her hands and feet were weak. Going there now would only cause trouble.
Lu Zhining helped his wife out of his niece's room. Halfway there, he remembered that his niece had caught two people and wondered where they were now.
"Weiwei, where are those two? Meng Dong and the others should arrive around tomorrow. If you've hidden them, hand them over to Meng Dong and let him interrogate them... Meng Dong and the others have ways to get them to confess some things..." Lu Zhining wanted Meng Dong to get these people to talk...
“Uncle who’s still here, wait for Lao Meng and the others to come over, then I’ll take them there and bring these two people out.” He Caiwei had given them anesthesia for over 68 hours, and she even put them in her spatial storage, so they couldn’t run away even if they wanted to.
“Okay…” Over the years, Lu Zhining has come to unconditionally trust his niece. No matter what it is, as long as his niece says it, it is true and can be believed.
They spent the whole day in unease, and only set off from home as night fell. Lu Qingfeng wanted to go with them, but his father wouldn't allow it. His mother would definitely feel uneasy if she didn't see her son. If they all left, only the women, children, and elderly would be left at home, which would make her feel even more uneasy. That's why they made him stay behind.
He Caiwei led them to the back mountain of Zheng Mingyue Village. They parked the car some distance away from the back mountain and hid it in some places before the three of them walked lightly towards the back mountain.
The three of them were very cautious, afraid of encountering people they shouldn't have met. That's why I brought my uncle and his father with me. When we arrived at the tree where he was on that day, I described the specific situation and approximate location to his father and uncle.
He Caiwei followed the unfamiliar aura and afterwards began to count the time so that her father could walk forward and estimate where they probably came from.
The mountain isn't very high, because some of the villagers' houses are built on the slope, so it looks like it's halfway up the mountain, about 100 meters high.
The trees on the hillside weren't very dense, but there were quite a few stones. To the people living halfway up the hill, it looked like a small earthen slope, a place where the village children would play and cut pig feed.
“Dad…” He Caiwei originally wanted her father to sponsor her, but when she saw a sliver of light suddenly appear on the ground, she quickly asked her father to make a gesture for her to hide.
The group was not far apart, so they found a rock to hide themselves and breathe freely.
Then the light on the ground flashed again, and a stone was slowly pushed aside, revealing a cave entrance about one meter wide underneath.
Three people emerged from inside furtively. The situation was somewhat similar to the two people He Caiwei had encountered that day. People dressed in black clothes and black pants, with their faces covered, were carrying a bloodied, blurry figure whose face was unclear. They were still heading towards the sea.
It's high tide now, so the rocks underneath aren't showing. If they just throw people in like this, the people will be carried away by the receding tide. This is much faster and easier than digging a pit to bury people, and they don't have to worry about being discovered.
After the three people had completely come out, the cave entrance began to slowly close until it was no longer visible.
After waiting a while, He Caiwei realized that the two people were dragging someone close to him. She quickly took action and injected two more tranquilizer darts. Soon, the two people collapsed.
The brothers Lu Zhiheng and Lu Zhining immediately ran over from their hiding place. After checking on them, they found that the two were unconscious. He Caiwei went over and pulled back the anesthetic needle that had been fired.
"Weiwei, do you have any rope? Use rope to tie them up and take them away. See if you recognize this person and if he's still alive..." Lu Zhining glanced at the two people holding the person and quickly searched them. Each of them had a pistol, a magazine of bullets, a few dozen yuan, and some tickets. One of them also had a key, but that was all they had to prove their identity.
“Some of my uncles…” He Caiwei turned around and took out two bundles of rope from her space.
The Lu brothers tied up the two unconscious people with rope. Lu Zhiheng touched the person's nose and found that his breathing was very weak. He was still alive, but he didn't know how long he could live.
“Brother, this is someone from the organization. I met him once before, but his position is very secretive. Apart from his superiors and subordinates, no one else knows about his existence…” Lu Zhining had met this person when he went to make contact with his superior. This person had sent them a lot of very useful information from abroad.
After returning to China, he opened a library in Tianjin, which was his way of hiding.
"Can my little niece be saved? Uncle Huang will treat him..." When Lu Zhining heard that the person had made contributions, he wanted to save him. He looked at his little niece with some difficulty. He knew that his little niece had a secret. Saving his son was a family matter. Although this person was not a family matter, he was a person who had made contributions to the country. Lu Zhining did not want to give up.
He Caiwei examined the man's injuries and found that they were less severe than those of his second brother. However, the man was a frail scholar, so he looked half-dead and barely clinging to life, which was more serious than his second brother's injuries.
"It's possible, but I don't know how much gold is needed. We need to examine him first." He Caiwei really didn't know how much gold this person needed to be cured. She would only be able to find out the answer after bringing the person into the space for examination.
"No matter how many... save them..."
"I understand, Dad. First, help me get them to the car. I'll call them to come pick us up. The anesthetic for these two people will last for at least 48 hours. But this is their entrance and exit, so Uncle and Dad need to be careful. They'll be back soon..." He Caiwei knew that these people were contributing to the country, and he wanted to save them, but he couldn't take them back into his space in front of his father and uncle, lest he frighten them.
“Alright, I’ll help you get them over there first. Big brother, drag these two aside, lest someone else comes out from down there and sees you all at once…” Lu Zhining said to his brother, then helped his niece and little girl to where they hid the car. After settling them in, he went back. These medical professionals were acting mysteriously, and he wouldn’t see them for several days, so he couldn’t stay here. He knew this without his little girl reminding him.
He Caiwei watched her father walk away before she took him back into her space, placed him directly on the testing platform, pried open his mouth and fed him a little bit of spiritual spring water. After that, she just had to wait patiently for the results.
