Chapter 305 Inviting the enemy into the trap?
The scarred man seemed oblivious to his surroundings and headed in the opposite direction from where Yin Junqi had just left.
Logically, if it were a genuine surveillance mission, the first thing to do would be to check if there were any suspicious individuals in the video arcade.
But they weren't actually on a mission... so they just followed anyone they saw suspicious, and if the other party didn't do anything suspicious afterward, they would just leave.
The scarred man walked at a leisurely pace, somewhat like an ordinary middle-aged man taking a stroll to digest his food after dinner.
He didn't look around, but walked straight ahead, and then suddenly turned a corner after walking for a while.
Ye Sanqing hadn't been here before when he was resting, but he had heard Xiao You mention that there were two supermarkets in the town. One was an old local supermarket, and the other was a newer one, consisting of corrugated steel sheet buildings and container warehouses.
This new store was apparently originally intended to be an unmanned supermarket, but the owner gave up as soon as it was built because purchasing the equipment needed for an unmanned supermarket was indeed much more expensive than hiring local people as store employees.
So it was sold off casually, and now it's just a store somewhere between a convenience store and a supermarket.
Xiaoyou needed to find out about the situation in the nearby towns, so she investigated thoroughly, since the most important thing about this town is the location of the supermarket.
The meals provided by the film crew were quite normal, generally consisting of meat, some grains, and miscellaneous supplies purchased weekly from here. In addition, there was a delivery service from nearby suppliers—mainly hay for the horses, and weekly air shipments of fresh fruits and vegetables.
There are basic vegetables here, but if you want a more comprehensive selection, you'll have to rely on air freight. If the menu includes fish, it will also be air-freighted and then transported from a nearby airport to the training ground by refrigerated trucks.
The scarred man headed in the direction of this small shop.
Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu cautiously followed, then tactically peeked out from the corner of the wall.
Uh, I just glanced at it from the side, at an angle that wouldn't be easily noticed by the people over there.
The scarred man was slowly walking through the alley. The sky was gradually getting dark, and his shadow was getting longer under the streetlights.
Ye Sanqing seemed to recall some movie scenes, thinking to himself that the composition was quite cinematic.
The scarred man turned right after reaching the end of the road, and the two followed.
Ye Sanqing tapped his watch.
Sheng Hanyu glanced at her phone.
When the two reached the bend, they saw that the container warehouse was at the end of the path on the right.
This appears to be a supply channel for fresh meat, with faint traces of blood on the ground and the smell of blood that has accumulated over many years.
The scarred man disappeared, and there were high walls on both sides.
Pale light shone through the vents high up on the wall.
The warehouse door was open, the door panel slightly ajar inwards, as if extending a silent invitation.
Sheng Hanyu laughed and said, "Is it a trap, or an empty city ploy?"
Ye Sanqing shrugged. "You'll know once you go in."
Sheng Hanyu nodded, stepping back a step to let Ye Sanqing go first.
Ye Sanqing thought to himself, "You do know who the leader is, don't you?" and pushed open the warehouse door without hesitation and walked inside.
The warehouse appeared to be made up of several shipping containers pieced together. The interior was much larger than expected, but the other party was still nowhere to be seen.
After they both entered the house, they naturally walked forward.
At that moment, the door closed behind them.
It seems to be a door that automatically springs back after being pushed open to a certain extent...
The warehouse was lit by a dim white light, probably to save electricity, so the light was not very bright, just enough to prevent people from bumping into things.
Slabs of meat, emitting a chill, hung from hooks as the two men weaved through the gaps between piles of whole lambs and pig legs.
They walked along the edge, not missing any suspicious spots, and finally found a small door diagonally opposite the original entrance. The scarred man may have slipped away from there.
That's incredibly bold.
The sales area should be on the other side of the door. Walking out like this without caring about what others think will definitely attract attention. It's also possible... that this small shop itself has a significant connection to the scarred man.
Ye Sanqing moved closer and took a look.
There is indeed something strange.
There's a small window above the door, which is probably used to check if there are other people inside or outside when the door is opened or closed, so as to avoid bumping into them.
It should still be within the normal supermarket operating hours, around 7 pm.
But no light came through the small window.
"Looks like this door can't be opened either. What if he calls the police and says we're thieves?"
Ye Sanqing clapped his hands and said.
"I think... he'd rather we turn into frozen meat."
Sheng Hanyu sensed that the temperature in the warehouse seemed to be dropping, and said.
Ye Sanqing shook his head. "Then he'll be disappointed."
Instead of heading towards the small door where the situation was unclear, she gestured for Sheng Hanyu to return to the entrance with her.
"Is the meat here illegitimate...?" Ye Sanqing said as they passed by the meat again.
"That shouldn't be the case, but I wonder what their scheme is," Sheng Hanyu said, glancing at the quarantine stamps on the flesh.
"Oh, what a pity, I thought I could finally get some exercise."
When they arrived at the door, it was opened from the outside.
Ye Sanqing looked at the scarred man who was being restrained by the bodyguards and said.
Just kidding, who goes out without bodyguards?
Although they weren't conspicuous, Ye Sanqing's bodyguards were actually on set. This group was her regular bodyguard team.
Ye Sanqing enjoys doing things himself, but sometimes, he doesn't have to be so strict.
Although her original plan was to catch up with him and beat him up first, this way... it's fine too.
Judging from the expression on the scarred man's face, he clearly hadn't thought of that.
Sheng Hanyu thought to herself, "Her team beat me to it."
He certainly had bodyguards around him; he was just checking his phone to send a message.
The main problem was that the roads the film crew traveled on were too conspicuous, forcing the bodyguards to delay their departure. Also, the townspeople were easily spotted. Therefore, they had to park on the main road outside town or wait in the parking lot, without getting out of their cars.
But Ye Sanqing's smartwatch should have a location tracking function, right...? Sheng Hanyu recalled the way the other person had tapped the watch earlier.
Ye Sanqing's tone sounded genuinely regretful, even the scarred man was stunned.
Then he changed his expression and said, "Gentlemen, is there some misunderstanding?"
"You...do you usually call anyone who comes into your warehouse 'boss'?"
At that moment, a scene from a movie about having hot pot in a cold storage room inexplicably popped into Sheng Hanyu's mind, and she almost burst out laughing.
It has to be said that their trip unexpectedly reminded him of many old movies.
The scarred man clearly got stuck for a moment.
Ye Sanqing was also unhappy to speak in such a bloody place, so he waved his hand.
The bodyguards handed her the keys they had taken from the scarred man.
"Do you usually live here?" Ye Sanqing asked, looking at the three or four keys in total.
"Yes, boss, there really is a misunderstanding between us..." the scarred man said with an awkward smile.
Ye Sanqing held up a key and asked, "What door does this open?"
