After Transmigrating to the Modern Era, the Metaphysics Master Dazzles the World – Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Coincidence…

Fu Ziqi was carried by someone for the first time.

It wasn’t very comfortable.

But she was really curious about this gang. Normally, ordinary people wouldn’t have channels to interact with the evil cultivators of Poling. Could it be that Poling approached them first?

Fu Ziqi’s act of pretending to be drugged was also a spur-of-the-moment decision.

When that girl first took her hand, she could tell with just a glance that something was off. If a girl like that was really being followed, there were other people besides Fu Ziqi at the ice cream truck. Shouldn’t she have looked for a man who seemed more capable of fighting?

Although Fu Ziqi was actually incredibly strong, her physique was truly slender. To put it bluntly, it was like having the word “weak” engraved on her forehead. A woman she didn’t know, ignoring others who clearly seemed more reliable, came to her for help?

Furthermore, although she appeared delicate and gentle, her eyes revealed that she wasn’t as simple as she seemed. Fu Ziqi could tell with a single glance.

Fu Ziqi finished the entire ice cream with a clear conscience before being “drugged.” It was a wish fulfilled… well, she might have been a little deliberate about it.

The middle-aged woman didn’t go far before putting Fu Ziqi down, seemingly in a van.

Fu Ziqi leaned against the seat, leisurely waiting for them to drive her away.

Taking advantage of a moment when they weren’t paying attention, Fu Ziqi opened her eyes and discovered that there was actually another person in the car besides her. Fu Ziqi hadn’t noticed before.

However, looking at the woman in the car, Fu Ziqi slowly formed a question mark in her mind: ?

At this moment, Deng Qing also quietly opened her eyes. Thankfully, she held it together and swallowed back a “holy crap.”

???

Fu Ziqi and Deng Qing weren’t very familiar with each other, having only met two days ago. In fact, she wasn’t familiar with Qi Kui or Chu Yi either, nor with anyone from Return to One Group. But now, with this unexpected turn of events, they both tacitly refrained from reacting.

Although she maintained her composure on the surface, Deng Qing’s heart was about to leap out of her chest!

This was the plan Deng Qing had come up with after discussing it with Chu Yi and the others.

Through meticulous investigation, they had uncovered the human trafficking gang’s methods.

This gang typically targeted children under seven years old and young, beautiful women.

Moreover, they had separate operations for trafficking children and women.

But whether it was children or young women, they mostly used deceptive tactics to gain their trust before carrying out the abduction.

For example, there were many ways to deceive the latter.

Like in the case Cheng Yin encountered, there would be seemingly pitiful elderly people who fell down on the road or appeared exhausted and in need of help. They would trick kind-hearted young girls into helping them get home or to the hospital, usually by suggesting a “shortcut.” Then, they would lead the girls to secluded areas where accomplices would be waiting to knock them unconscious or drug them. By then, even if the girls realized something was wrong, it would be too late.

There were also cases where seemingly honest and simple-minded men and women, who didn’t appear to have any malicious intent, would approach young girls in less crowded areas and ask for directions. A van or similar vehicle, seemingly unrelated to them, would be parked nearby with its doors open. When the girls instinctively moved closer because someone was talking to them, they would be shoved into the vehicle!

Then there was the type Fu Ziqi encountered. Girls were more likely to let their guard down around other girls. When a quiet and innocent-looking young woman suddenly approached, fearfully claiming that someone was following her, it was easy for any slightly compassionate girl to be unsuspecting. But being unsuspecting meant falling into the traffickers’ trap…

After following numerous subtle clues, a young woman entered their sights. She was the girl who had just “drugged” Fu Ziqi, named Gu Yue, a local from Yundu, an orphan. She had been trafficked as a child but was later rescued by the police. After turning eighteen, she moved out of the orphanage and became a teacher at a private kindergarten.

After a night of discussing the current clues, Deng Qing, Chu Yi, Chen Dali, and others decided to launch a coordinated operation. Deng Qing was younger, with a baby face that made her look naive and easily deceived. Moreover, Deng Qing was an Ancient Martial Artist, so there was no need to worry about her safety. Thus, Deng Qing took on this task.

✿✿✿

She pretended to be a university student from out of town, wandering around early in the morning. She thought it would take more time, but someone took the bait quickly.

An older woman clung to Deng Qing’s leg, crying that her belongings had been stolen, her leg was injured, and she didn’t even have enough money to go home.

At first, Deng Qing didn’t react. In a sense, Deng Qing was indeed a bit gullible, not just because of her baby face…

But Deng Qing was an Ancient Martial Artist after all. When the older woman, sobbing, said she knew a shortcut to a clinic and hoped Deng Qing could help her with the medical expenses, promising to repay her when her family arrived, Deng Qing finally realized something was wrong.

She had originally intended to lure out Gu Yue, but this older woman had intercepted her.

But it didn’t matter. Deng Qing’s goal was to “infiltrate the enemy’s ranks.”

However, after pretending to be drugged, Deng Qing was locked in this van. They seemed to have great confidence in the drug, believing she wouldn’t wake up, so they didn’t leave anyone to guard her, only locking the car.

Deng Qing secretly woke up and took advantage of the absence of anyone to search the van, but she was somewhat disappointed, yet not surprised, to find nothing.

Within half an hour, the man and woman returned.

Then, someone else was placed beside her.

Deng Qing genuinely thought it was some unlucky girl who had been tricked, but when she peeked through her eyelids, she saw Fu Ziqi’s face.

Deng Qing: Holy crap, for real.

Her first thought was, did Chu Yi have the guts to involve the leader’s beloved in this?

After all, she didn’t believe Fu Ziqi could have been genuinely deceived.

Fu Ziqi’s display of power yesterday had deeply shaken Deng Qing’s heart.

She just wanted to say, did their leader know that Fu Ziqi was here, seemingly intending to go with the flow and infiltrate the human trafficking gang’s lair?

If he didn’t know… she wondered about the extent of their leader’s distress right now.

Yan Jiuxian initially didn’t know that Fu Ziqi was missing.

He had chosen a few hairpins that he thought she would like, but after waiting for a long time without seeing Fu Ziqi return, he paid for them and went back to the ice cream truck to look for her.

He was still thinking, Fu Ziqi wouldn’t be like a little kid, hiding from him just to sneak an extra ice cream, would she?

But when he returned, he still couldn’t find Fu Ziqi.

Trafficking methods are unpredictable, girls really need to be careful!!! It’s really scary （ó﹏ò）
