Chapter 233 - 233 Surveillance?
233 Surveillance?
Mrs. Mo and Mo Ronghua stood in front of the empty space and looked around. When they did not see the person they wanted to see, disappointment appeared in their eyes again.
When Mrs. Mo’s gaze landed on the top of the mountain, she held her husband’s hand and whispered, “Hubby, let’s go to the top of the mountain to take a look. Standing high, we can see far. As long as my daughter-in-law is on this mountain, we will definitely be able to see her!”
Mo Ronghua said helplessly, “Is there a need to be in such a hurry? We’re already here. We still have to stay here for a few days. We’ll see that child sooner or later.”
Mrs. Mo disagreed. “That’s different! I have to see my daughter-in-law first. Otherwise, I’ll keep thinking about her!”
Mo Ronghua’s expression was a little helpless, but there was a look of doting on his face. He nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go now!”
Shi Lichun watched the couple go up the mountain and frowned slightly.
This couple was a little strange.
After getting out of the bus stop, the two of them had been very polite to him, even trying to please him.
They were clearly clients.
Why would they do that?
Also, after the two of them entered the house, they looked around as if they were looking for someone. When they didn’t find her, their eyes revealed disappointment.
Looking for someone?
Could these two be human traffickers?
Shi Lichun shuddered.
No, he had to keep an eye on them.
They looked like decent people, but who knew what they were like in private?
Just like Liu Tiancheng. All these years, he was the one who bought the watermelons from the villages.
However, who would have thought that this acquaintance of everyone’s was actually a human trafficker who had sinister intentions?
Those women who were rumored to have eloped and disappeared in the village were actually abducted.
Therefore, some people should not be deceived by others.
Also, his mother had been kidnapped before.
As the saying went, once bitten, twice shy.
It was never wrong to be cautious.
Shi Lichun thought about it and made a call.
“Qiu Lan, where are you? Oh, then come here. I want you to keep watch on two people! I suspect that their motive for coming here is not pure!” Shi Lichun said, “Okay, keep an eye on them first.”
After hanging up, he stared at the two of them and frowned again.
The others went to the top of the mountain to admire the scenery. The two of them stood at the top of the mountain. Although they looked around, their attention was clearly not on the scenery below. It was obvious that they were looking for someone.
This further confirmed his guess!
Mo Ronghua and her husband obviously did not know that the owner of this place already suspected that they were human traffickers.
When others went to the top of the mountain, they would walk while watching. When they went to the top of the mountain, they would go straight to the top.
After reaching the top of the mountain, they chose the best spot to look around.
Then, when she touched a certain spot, Mrs. Mo became agitated. She pointed over and said, “Hubby, is it that child? Although it’s too far away to see her face, her appearance and figure are very similar to the photo.”
Mo Ronghua looked over and nodded. “Looks like it.”
“So our daughter-in-law is on the opposite mountain. No wonder we couldn’t find her!” Mrs. Mo smiled and said, “Is she holding a hoe or something?”
Mo Ronghua shook her head. “It’s too far away. I can’t see clearly!”
Most importantly, he did not recognize these farming tools!
He had been exposed to business and financial knowledge and economic data analysis since he was young. As for agricultural knowledge, he had no clue.
Except, of course, for a well-known poem:
Plant a grain in spring and harvest ten thousand grains in autumn.
There are no idle fields in the four seas, or farmers would starve to death.
It was noon when the hoeing was done, and the sweat dripped onto the soil.
Unexpectedly, every grain of food on the plate was arduous.
In the past, it was fine if he did not know about agriculture, but his future daughter-in-law seemed to like to stay in the countryside. In order to be closer to his daughter-in-law, he might have to know more in the future.
Mrs. Mo looked into the distance, not knowing what her husband was thinking. She nodded and said, “It’s indeed too far. If I had known, I would have brought binoculars.”
Just as Mo Ronghua was about to say something, she acutely felt a pair of eyes staring at them.
For a veteran in the business world, he was especially sensitive to such gazes.
This gaze was a form of probing and surveillance!
Strange, why was there such a gaze here?
Without batting an eyelid, Mo Ronghua glanced at the source of the gaze from the corner of her eye. Then, she looked a little surprised.
This was the gaze of a girl in her twenties.
Judging from her attire, she clearly looked like someone who worked here.
Mo Ronghua hugged her wife and lowered her head slightly. “Wifey, what’s going on? Are we being monitored?”
“What?” Mrs. Mo was surprised. “We just came here. Why are there people monitoring us? Could it be your business competitors?”
“Impossible!” Mo Ronghua denied it. “If it was those business rivals, we should have discovered something along the way. We wouldn’t have only discovered it now.”
Mrs. Mo frowned slightly and asked suspiciously, “Then who is monitoring us? We didn’t offend anyone along the way, right?”
Mo Ronghua said, “The person who was spying on us was a girl in her twenties. She was dressed very simply and looked like a farmer. Most importantly, her surveillance ability was very immature, like that of a toddler!”
“Huh?” Mrs. Mo was even more confused. “Who is this?”
Mo Ronghua thought for a moment and said, “If you want to know who she is, why don’t we go over and ask?”
Mrs. Mo said suspiciously, “But is that alright? What if it’s your competitor? Won’t it alert the enemy?”
“It’s alright. I’m afraid they won’t be competitors!” Mo Ronghua narrowed her eyes.
Lin Qiulan received a call from her father-in-law, asking her to come over and monitor a tourist couple.
He suspected that they had come here for a purpose. Although their purpose was unclear, precaution was necessary!
She was more than ten meters away from the couple. In fact, she was only three or four trees away, on the right.
Although she was cutting oranges, she kept looking over.
However, what she did not know was that her childish surveillance was discovered immediately.
As Lin Qiulan sized them up, she thought to herself, “That couple doesn’t look like bad people. Look, that man’s eyes are filled with tenderness and love when facing his wife. And that woman has a kind and smiley face. Her smile is filled with love and happiness. Therefore, this couple doesn’t look like bad people no matter how you look at them. Of course, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Some people have good looks, but they have vicious hearts!”
Just as Lin Qiulan was thinking, two figures appeared in front of her, blocking her vision.
