After finishing off Yang Yuan, Mo Ming went directly to a bar and found a spot to drink while looking around. About an hour later, Liufeng casually walked into the bar, scanned the room, and saw Mo Ming drinking. He walked over and plopped down beside him.
"How did it go?" Mo Ming opened a bottle of liquor and handed it to Liufeng.
Liufeng took a big gulp before putting the bottle down. He glanced around casually, a faint smile appearing on his lips as he said, "It's all taken care of. I’ve been lurking around the Little Green Society headquarters for a while. A few people were coming and going quite freely; they should be trusted subordinates of Yin Jiu. I've already planted a listening device and a tracker on one of them."
"That's good. I should be able to get news about Yin Jiu through them," Mo Ming said with a satisfied smile, taking a swig straight from the bottle.
"Boss, put this on. Just press the button on the side to hear their conversations. It's the latest technology from M Country; I got it through some means, and it's pretty useful." Liufeng took out a small device resembling a wireless earpiece from his ear and handed it to Mo Ming.
"Have you gotten any useful information?" Mo Ming asked as he held the device in his hand.
"Not yet. Since I installed it, I've been listening in, but these guys have just been chatting idly about unhealthy topics that made me want to throw up! I really can't take it anymore; you should listen instead. Hurry up and put it on so we don't miss any good news," Liufeng said, pursing his lips before continuing to drink.
Mo Ming was speechless but still placed the device in his right ear and pressed the button.
A crackling sound emerged in his ear, followed by voices.
"Old Six, can you cover my shift tonight? My wife has been acting strange lately, and I plan to sneak home and check on her."
"Hehe. Your sister-in-law isn't up to something, is she?..." A mischievous laugh came through.
"Shut up! Your wife is the one who's up to something! Just remember to cover my shift tonight; next time I'll definitely take you out for fun! ... What’s wrong? You look unhappy? It’s just one night of work; what’s so difficult about it? If not, I can cover your shifts every day, and you can take me out for fun."
"No, Brother Three, you misunderstood."
"It’s not what it is? What do you mean? Are you helping me or not?"
Hearing them discuss family matters made Mo Ming chuckle to himself.
"Boss, what are you laughing at? Did you hear something funny?" Liufeng asked with a smile upon seeing Mo Ming chuckling to himself.
"Nothing much, just someone thinks they've been cheated on and plans to catch their partner in the act tonight," Mo Ming replied with a chuckle, clinking his bottle with Liufeng's before taking a big gulp, eager to continue listening to what the two were discussing.
"Brother Three, this is actually quite easy to handle. It's just a shift, right? Why do I need to treat you before you'll..."
"Then why are you hesitating?"
"It's just that I'm busy tonight. You know that we only handle that matter ourselves. Old Eight took care of it yesterday, and it's my turn tonight. If I'm on duty here, no one will be there to take care of it. If the boss finds out, I'll be in trouble."
Upon hearing this, Mo Ming immediately sensed an opportunity, raising an eyebrow and adopting a serious expression.
"Boss, is there good news? Are we starting to catch them?" Liufeng remarked, noticing Mo Ming's expression and realizing there was definitely some news, but he couldn't help but joke.
"Don't say anything yet," Mo Ming gestured for Liufeng to remain quiet. Liufeng complied and stayed silent as Mo Ming continued to listen.
"We really need to take care of that... Alright then, I won't make it difficult for you. I'll go find Old Eight and the others. You can rest for now; it's not time yet. You've been doing this for two years; just hold on for a few more days."
"Yeah, it's really tiring work. It's just us taking turns without making a fuss; it's exhausting..."
"Alright, I'm off."
"Take care, Brother Three."
As soon as Mo Ming heard this, he grabbed the bottle and took another large swig of alcohol. He then patted Liufeng on the shoulder. Liufeng didn't ask any further questions and took a sip of his drink before standing up. The two quickly settled their bill and hurriedly left the bar.
...
At the entrance of the Little Green Society headquarters.
Mo Ming and Liufeng were standing not far away, waiting.
"Boss, there shouldn't be any issues with the products from M Country, right? Why hasn't that guy moved at all? Since we got here, he hasn't budged. Did you hear him say when he would start?" Liufeng, who had been staring at his phone, looked up at Mo Ming.
"Haha, there aren't many trustworthy products left in this world, but the products from M Country should be reliable. Since he hasn't come out, it means he's still there. I can hear faint breathing; he must be sleeping... Wait, there's movement! He's about to act." Mo Ming suddenly perked up, his eyes fixed on the door ahead.
A person walked out from inside, glanced around, adjusted his coat, and then headed in a specific direction.
"Let's go; let's follow him and see what he's up to." Mo Ming and Liufeng trailed behind the man until they reached the intersection where a van stopped, and the man got into it.
Liufeng quickly hailed a taxi. Once inside, he pointed at the van ahead and said, "Please follow that van!"
"Hehe, you two are private detectives, right?" the taxi driver asked with a smile while driving to keep up with the van.
"Shh, keep it low-key!" Mo Ming shushed him but ended up shouting.
"Shh shh shh, buddy, you're even more excited than I am. This line of work is quite mysterious. Back in the day, I considered doing this too. But I couldn't find a private detective agency that would take me in after searching for a long time. By the way, do you think I have potential in this field?" the taxi driver chuckled.
"Well, that depends on your performance. Just quietly follow that van closely and don't get noticed. If you do well afterward, I might consider hiring you," Mo Ming said seriously while pointing at the van turning ahead. "Hey man, look! They turned left; hurry up and follow them..."
The taxi driver hurriedly turned left to follow: "Hehe, sorry about that! I was careless; it won't happen again."
...
They followed the van to a house surrounded by walls on all sides.
After the van stopped, five or six people got out, each holding a shovel and an iron bucket. One of them scanned the surroundings; after confirming nothing seemed unusual, he immediately opened the door and walked inside. The van then slowly drove away.
"Hehe, did I pass?" the taxi driver said excitedly.
"Well, that's good enough. No need to look anymore!" Mo Ming nodded repeatedly, took out a hundred yuan, and handed it to the Taxi Driver before getting out of the car with Liufeng.
"How do I contact you?" the Taxi Driver asked.
"Call me. Remember to call me tomorrow at 18343843843! Don't forget to call me; time's up if you miss it. Goodbye!" Mo Ming waved at the Taxi Driver and walked towards the house with Liufeng. The driver, seeing their sneaky demeanor, believed them and quickly saved the number before driving away.
Once the taxi left, Mo Ming and Liufeng felt relieved. The driver was too much trouble; if they hadn't handled him this way, he might have ruined their plans for the night. However, seeing that the Taxi Driver didn't follow them, they both sighed in relief.
"Boss, it's strange; there's no signal coming back from the tracker!" Liufeng said, frowning as he glanced at his phone.
"The earpiece has no signal either," Mo Ming replied with a wry smile; all he could hear now was static.
"It seems there’s something inside the house that blocks signals. Let's quietly climb over the wall and get closer to take a look. We mustn't alert anyone," Mo Ming said, eyeing the not-too-high wall before turning to Liufeng.
Mo Ming climbed over the wall first and looked around but didn’t notice anything unusual. He then signaled for Liufeng to follow him over. The two of them quietly jumped into the yard and surveyed their surroundings; it seemed this place had been abandoned for a long time, with dead branches and fallen leaves scattered everywhere.
"These people chose to come here at night for a reason; they must have secrets they don’t want anyone to know. Liufeng, be ready to adapt. If we get discovered, leave one alive; we can deal with the others easily," Mo Ming whispered, making a gesture across his throat.
Liufeng didn’t say anything but simply made an "OK" gesture.
The two of them cautiously approached the house. The closer they got, the more they could hear faint tapping sounds. When Mo Ming and Liufeng pressed against the wall of the house, they overheard a conversation inside.
"Brother Wenbao, after we finish this job, will Longtou give us some money to go somewhere far away?" someone asked with a laugh.
"Stop talking nonsense; once it's done, I guarantee you'll get to go far away!" came what seemed to be Wenbao's voice.
"Yes, yes, I spoke too much…"
Those underlings were rather foolish, but Mo Ming and Liufeng understood there was more to Wenbao's words than met the ear.
Go to a faraway place!
That place is called Heaven!
It seems that Wen Bao plans to eliminate anyone who knows about this after the job is done. This matter must be very important; otherwise, there would be no need to kill witnesses afterward. What Mo Ming is curious about is what exactly needs to be done here. And what are those knocking sounds for?
Inside, there has been no further conversation. Mo Ming and Liufeng listened to the knocking sounds all night, and just as it was nearing four o'clock, it seemed that things inside were finally wrapping up.
"Let's not disturb them for now; let's observe a bit longer!" Mo Ming decided to leave first and ignore the people inside.
...
Just as Mo Ming and Liufeng stepped outside, someone came out from the house. A metal barrel filled with dirt was brought out. Before long, the previous van slowly drove back. After a few people got in, the van left again, but none of them were Wen Bao, indicating that he was still inside the house.
"Boss, what are they up to? Digging like moles?" Liufeng said with a slight smile.
"No, they are digging for something. There must be something important beneath this house. As for what it is, we don't know yet. Let's not bother them for now; let Poisonous Madness and the others handle their business. Keep an eye on this place for me; we'll quietly wait for them to finish before we take action!" Mo Ming rubbed his chin and smiled wickedly.
