CHAPTER 455: CHAPTER 225: ENTERING THE VILLAGE OPERATION

"I’ll talk!"

The bearded man couldn’t hold it any longer. This terrifying pressure made him feel his whole body convulsing, and his mind was on the verge of collapse.

If he continued to hold out, he might go insane first.

He didn’t know where these two guys in front of him came from, but they were definitely not good people. To stay alive, loosening his lips was a better choice.

"Speak."

"Our people are arranged below, there are others in the city. The city area of Guangze City is where the boss and others are, except for the third brother who isn’t there, everyone else is watching the place."

"Watching what?"

"The boss said there might be cops coming to investigate, and they’re coming specifically for this, so they could arrive any moment. Taian Province is no longer safe. Once this is done, we withdraw, no lingering."

Luo Fei and Han Tiesheng exchanged glances.

Quite alert, these guys are indeed cunning, which was somewhat unexpected.

"You just mentioned third brother? Yan Xiaofeng?"

"Yes..."

The bearded man froze for a moment.

"How do you know?"

"Stop your nonsense!"

Han Tiesheng pressed him firmly. They were here to ask questions, not to answer his.

This guy wasn’t being honest, they must urgently extract the clues and then send him away.

"How many people did you bring into the village?"

"Two kids, a female college student."

"They’re in pretty good shape. The village head’s family wanted the two kids as their own, the female student was sold to a butcher as a wife, and third brother came here to negotiate getting the money. He’ll be heading back in these two days."

Upon hearing this, Han Tiesheng’s face changed drastically, Luo Fei also looked stern. They didn’t expect them to have already taken action!

If these three victims were really sold into the village, rescuing them would be even harder. They could only intercept them beforehand and stop the deal.

If all else fails, they’d even resort to taking out Yan Xiaofeng.

Before coming here, they were given the highest instructions from the province.

Persuasion, warning, and enforcing a stop. If the counterpart refused to repent or resisted, death would be the only fate!

"There are several villages in the mountains here, which village did Yan Xiaofeng go to? Speak honestly."

Han Tiesheng’s tone became somewhat urgent.

Obviously, rescue had become the immediate priority.

The bearded man’s eyes shifted, clearly trying to think of something, but when he realized Luo Fei’s hand was still on his head, he suddenly became honest.

If he uttered a single falsehood, the opponent’s strength might end him in an instant.

"Go past the two ridges ahead, cross the beam, and you’ll see it—the largest Houliang Village in Futian County."

"Houliang Village?"

Luo Fei glanced at Han Tiesheng beside him, motioning for him to check it out on the phone.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the internet speed was particularly slow, clearly due to signal interference, so they could only search on the map.

As they were searching for Houliang Village’s precise location on the map, the bearded man, Luo Meng, broke free and dashed forward.

He ran while trying to yell, but just as he uttered the first sound, he plummeted sharply.

He had stepped into empty space, directly tumbling down the slope.

Luo Fei and his partner were also dumbfounded. Was the guy seeking death?

Only to leave no clues?

Too dramatic!

So they went to check the situation, to see how badly the man was injured, only to be stunned when they looked down.

Behind the slope was an exceedingly steep mountain gap, the cliff face was nearly ninety degrees, intimidatingly stretched before them.

It descended vertically for nearly over thirty meters.

Further down was a row of bottomless caves, overgrown with weeds, seemingly abandoned for years.

At this moment, there was no trace of the bearded man.

If nothing went wrong, the man might have already embarked on the path of reincarnation.

Witnessing the scene, Luo Fei and Han Tiesheng exchanged glances, both shook their heads helplessly.

"Ah, too impulsive!"

"Originally, if we caught him, he could have spent several decades in jail, and then come out. Now it’s over, life’s finished directly."

Hearing Luo Fei’s lament, Han Tiesheng coldly snorted.

"Consider him having an easy death. When I held him down just now, I could feel him constantly gathering strength, looking for an escape opportunity, and he managed in a moment of unguardedness."

"Had he not died and been caught, I’d surely make him regret having the thought of escape."

"What should we do next?"

Luo Fei glanced at the nearby ridge.

With the map indicating the location, plus what the bearded man just mentioned about the distance, they could reach Houliang Village once they crossed that ridge ahead.

So next, they would have to march a section forcefully.

Calling Zhang Wei and the others for help wasn’t realistic, so they could only infiltrate first.

Regardless of whether they could rescue the people, they must understand the situation clearly.

At worst, when the situation becomes desperate, they might call in reinforcements. That would be a last-resort decision.

Now, with just two of them here, facing overwhelming odds, they could only hope the villagers wouldn’t be too difficult to deal with.

"Let’s go, let’s head over."

Along the way, the two discussed their plan. One would find a way to stay within, and the other would look for an opportunity to intercept at the village entrance.
