Zhao's eyes flickered as she tried to avoid Xie Xinghua's gaze, but under the cover of night, Su Yu could only catch the vague outline of her expression.

Seeing that she could not get any useful information from the ask, Su Yu slowly retracted her hairpin, took a deep breath, and quickly regained her composure.

She already had a plan in mind.

There must be a whole complicated chain behind this human trafficking.

Daya was sold in Qingshui Town, so there must be someone here acting as a middleman.

As long as we can find this "middleman", it will be possible to follow the clues and find Daya's whereabouts.

Su Yu's thoughts quickly went through his limited network of contacts in Qingshui Town.

Among them, Zhang Yufei is the most familiar.

But Director Liu is a skilled doctor and an upright person, and would never get involved in such activities.

And today, Su Yu saved the wife of the county magistrate and her young son. Although it cannot be considered a deep friendship, it is a good start.

However, if I go directly to ask for help, I might be mistaken as someone trying to curry favor with someone in order to repay the favor.

After all, in this gray area of ​​human trafficking, if one is not careful, the authorities will be alerted and those evildoers in the dark corners will be mobilized, which will undoubtedly be a risk that makes the situation worse for Daya.

Zheng Jun changed the subject, a trace of solemnity flashed across his brows, "This matter is not simple. The whereabouts of the human trafficker leader are secretive, and he is secretly colluding with some powerful people in the town. We must be extremely careful."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu frowned and twisted his hands together unconsciously, feeling nervous yet a little expectant.

"I understand the risks involved, but I am willing to bear all consequences in order to rescue the kidnapped children. Brother Shen, how should we proceed?"

Under the moonlight, Zheng Jun stared at Su Yu's determined eyes and secretly admired him in his heart.

He turned and walked into the mansion, and soon returned with a parchment scroll, which he spread out in front of the two of them.

"This is what I have learned from various sources. This person is called Black Wind and he often moves around the abandoned dock in the southern suburbs. However, we cannot act rashly and must plan carefully."

Su Yu leaned over and took a closer look at the scroll, which marked the terrain, guard distribution and possible infiltration routes.

She nodded, a look of determination flashing in her eyes.

"I trust your judgment and will proceed according to your plan."

At this moment, the night wind blew by, bringing with it a bit of chill, but it also seemed to be mixed with the omen that fate was about to change.

Su Yu and Zheng Jun looked at each other, and without any further words, a tacit understanding had already been formed.

They knew very well that this journey was not only a test of wisdom and courage, but also an exploration of the boundaries between good and evil in people's hearts.

Seeing this, Changliu quietly prepared the necessities for night travel, including a mask, a short blade, and several bottles of smoke bombs made of rosemary.

These tiny details may become the decisive key in the upcoming dark night operation.

"Let's set off now without further delay."

Zheng Jun said in a low voice, his voice full of unquestionable firmness.

Then, the three of them traveled light, and like ghosts in the night, they left Cao's mansion quietly and embarked on the rescue road full of unknowns and dangers.

The night is dark, the stars have faded, and only a few lights are flickering in the distance, as if guiding the direction of this battle for justice.

Although Su Yu had thousands of thoughts in her mind, she took firm steps because she knew that what was waiting for her ahead was not only a confrontation, but also a spiritual baptism and an opportunity for growth.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Su Yu spoke softly, with a smile in her eyes, and said gently but firmly: "Please rest assured, I, Su Yu, will remember your generosity in my heart. If there are any rare treasures in the future, I will definitely consider sharing them with you first."

After saying this, she nodded slightly, as if to silently assure him, with a barely perceptible warmth in her eyes.

Zheng Jun frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "But if Mr. Liao knew about this..."

Su Yu sighed lightly, a trace of helplessness flashing between his brows, but his tone was still calm: "How can Master Liao, who is in Ning County, interfere with your ordinary transactions in Qingshui Town? Besides, whether it is sold to you or delivered directly to Master Liao, what difference will the result make? In the end, won't it all belong to him? Do you think he will care so much about these trivial matters?"

These words, like a gentle spring breeze, slowly melted away Zheng Jun's worries.

Zheng Jun chewed over Su Yu's words carefully, the balance in his heart gradually tilted, and finally he nodded, secretly agreeing with this point of view.

"In that case, let's make it this way. You must find two excellent items for me within this year."

There was a hint of urgency in his voice, as if there were some unspeakable difficulties behind it, and he was unwilling to bear the blame and pressure from an unknown direction.

Seeing this, Su Yu smiled even brighter, and said in a clear voice like a silver bell: "It's a deal."

Three simple words, yet loaded with the weight of promise.

Zheng Jun then signaled the gatekeeper to take good care of Su Yu's horse. Su Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if puzzled: "Don't you need to drive with me? Time is very tight now, and every penny saved is a penny earned."

There was a hint of urgency in her words, and it was obvious that she took this trip very seriously.

Zheng Jun waved his hand casually, his eyes gleaming with confidence: "Don't worry too much, the destination is nearby, and the person lives in a deep alley, which is difficult for vehicles to pass. It is more convenient to walk."

After saying this, he turned around and walked ahead with steady steps, as if everything was under control.

Su Yu nodded, said nothing more, and followed Zheng Jun's pace.

The figures of the group gradually disappeared into the narrow alley, and every step brought about unknown variables.

Zhao followed closely behind, feeling mixed emotions, both doubt and anticipation.

Could this girl really find that person? If so, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain? Thinking back to the day when she had tried her best to lure Daya here, and once Daya realized that she had been deceived, her amazing strength made her still feel scared when she recalled it.

Thinking of this, Zhao couldn't help but secretly look at Zheng Jun. Where did this well-dressed man come from? He didn't look like a rich man who would have anything to do with this girl.

Finally, they stopped in front of a door, and the last bit of hope left in Zhao's heart was instantly shattered.

Hidden behind the door was a complicated situation that she had never expected.

The door opened slightly, and a sturdy man with a rough face came in. He asked impatiently, "Who is it? What brings you here so late at night?"

There was a hint of displeasure in his voice.

Zheng Jun politely stepped aside and introduced himself briefly: "Brother Biao, this is my friend. I want to ask you something."

Biaozi's eyes swept through the crowd and finally landed on Zhao's face. He already had a plan in mind, but he remained calm and invited her warmly: "Come in, come in and tell me clearly."

Inside the house, Xie Xinghua anxiously called out "Daya", looking everywhere for her missing daughter, while Su Yu followed closely behind, examining everything in the house with sharp eyes, but only saw Biaozi alone.
