CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 55: DEFINITELY NOT SIMPLY IMPRESSIVE

Sang Yu looked at Aunt Fat in horror.

She was certain that when Aunt Fat said "amazing," it wasn’t just in a good way.

Aunt Fat laughed, "What’s there to be shy about? A man needs to be a little strong, otherwise we women end up suffering, don’t you think?"

Sang Yu let out a forced laugh.

"I’m telling you, some people look tall and strong, but they’re actually really lacking in that department.

But some people may look ordinary, yet in that aspect, they’re definitely like this," Aunt Fat extended a thumbs-up.

Sang Yu: "Aunt Fat, you really do know a lot."

"I’m telling you, our An’an got pregnant the first time," Aunt Fat said, her face full of pride.

Sang Yu looked shocked: Is that something you should say? Is that even something I should hear?

Aunt Fat: "I’m telling you, if you want to get pregnant, when you’re with Jingming, put a pillow under your waist."

Sang Yu hurriedly interrupted Aunt Fat, fearing she’d go too far: "Aunt Fat, I’ve already finished spreading the seeds here."

Aunt Fat’s hands were also empty of seeds, "I’m done too."

"Should we water now?" Sang Yu asked.

"Yes, but not too much, or you’ll drown the seeds," Aunt Fat replied.

Sang Yu listened intently, occasionally asking a question.

Thankfully, Aunt Fat didn’t continue their earlier topic.

Sang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them worked all morning and finally got the vegetables planted.

"Now we just wait for them to slowly grow. When they start to sprout, I’ll bring you some fertilizer," Aunt Fat said.

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Fat."

"Aunt Fat, stay for lunch," Sang Yu suggested.

"No need, I’ll cook for myself at home."

Sang Yu insisted, "Aunt Fat, you’ve helped me so much this morning, it’s only right to invite you for a meal. Besides, eating alone is quite boring, keep me company."

"Alright, alright, I’ll graciously accept."

...

"Captain, the other side’s anti-reconnaissance awareness is indeed very strong, and it seems they’ve disguised their appearance. Our people can’t discover their final hideout."

Jiang Jingming looked at the report in his hand, his voice low and his expression stern: "Check the recent sea and land entries and exits."

"Yes, Captain."

"Captain, what should we do now? We still don’t know what they plan to do with those kidnapped young women."

If they don’t find those people soon, the missing ones will be in even more danger.

Because they still can’t determine if the other party is traffickers or has other motives.

If they’re just traffickers, that would be better, at least until they find buyers, they won’t do anything.

But what if they have other plans?

Then those women will be in a dangerous situation, possibly even facing life-threatening harm.

Jiang Jingming frowned deeply: "Inform the other teams to increase patrols at night, especially in more remote areas.

And tell the neighborhood offices to go door-to-door with notifications, advising women not to go out at night."

"Finally, keep a close watch on the suspicious individuals, and arrest them immediately if they make a move."

Lin Wen hesitated: "But Captain, wouldn’t such a large operation alert the enemy, and what if they react dangerously in a fit of anger?"

Jiang Jingming’s dark eyes showed a trace of coldness: "I’m just afraid they won’t get angry."

Lin Wen looked at Jiang Jingming confusedly.

Jiang Jingming’s tone left no room for discussion: "Do as I say."

Lin Wen: "Yes, Captain!"

Soon, virtually everyone in the streets received the notice that women shouldn’t go out alone at night.

Even schools required everyone to return to their dormitories before dark.

And the dorm supervisors had to check the rooms.

Such a large-scale action naturally alerted that group of people.

"It seems they’re getting anxious."

"Didn’t you say Jiang Jingming is formidable? It doesn’t seem so."

"Boss, what should we do now?"

"No rush, the more rushed they are, the easier they make mistakes," the man took a puff from the cigar in his hand.

The scar on his face appeared and disappeared in the darkness.

"Boss, from what I can see, those cops are just useless. It’s been so long, and they still haven’t discovered us," said a lackey beside the man.

The man chuckled, "Not totally useless, but they’re indeed mediocre. Yet, they still make him so wary, I have no idea how he rose to such a position."

"Boss, I say, you should be in that position."

"Yeah, our boss should take that spot."

The man laughed loudly, "Hahaha, forget it, that position’s always on watch, too restricting."

"True, our boss doesn’t like being watched, we’re much more free now."

"Alright, pass on the orders, don’t act rashly for now. Those cops won’t hold out long and will mess up themselves.

Then we’ll make a big move."

"Yes, boss."

They all retreated, leaving one person standing there.

"What else do you have to say?"

The man stepped forward, bent down and whispered a few words in the ears of the scar-faced man.

"Are you sure about this?"

The man said, "I wouldn’t mistake this."

"Interesting, very interesting, keep watching and find the opportunity to..."

"Yes, boss."

The man backed away.

The smile on the scar-faced man’s face grew more ruthless.

...

"It’s so annoying, they won’t even let people stay in the library now," a girl said, returning to the dorm with her books.

"Yeah, isn’t it overreacting a bit? We must be back in the dorm before dark."

"I know, I was planning to eat out, but now we’re not allowed to."

"Ru’an, isn’t your dad a cop? What’s really going on?"

Xu Ru’an shook her head: "My dad doesn’t talk about these things at home, and I don’t ask either."

The others looked impatient: "They won’t say what’s happening, just refuse to let us out."

Xu Ru’an reassured them: "Just bear with it, it won’t last long."

"What else can we do?"

"By the way, Ru’an, will your performance still go on?"

Xu Ru’an and her drama club were scheduled to perform at the orphanage next Wednesday.

Xu Ru’an shook her head: "I still don’t know, we’ll see how the school arranges it."

"It has to go well, we’ve rehearsed for so long."

A girl in the same dorm as Xu Ru’an and also in the drama club said.

Xu Ru’an said, "It should go smoothly, we’re going in the day, not at night."

The girl said, "Let’s hope so."
