After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 156 "Tonight's Operation!"

"So? Do those guys look suspicious?"

As soon as Village Chief Liu's wife entered the house, Village Chief Liu immediately went up to greet her and asked her questions.

“What’s suspicious?” Village Chief Liu’s wife sat down on a stool, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, and crossed her legs. “They’re just a bunch of bored young people who have nothing better to do than come to this remote mountain village for tourism.”

Village Chief Liu frowned. "Are you sure?"

"Those two girls even said they wanted to take pictures and post them on WeChat Moments, it's hilarious!" Village Chief Liu's wife said with a disdainful look, "How stupid."

After hearing what she said, Village Chief Liu gradually felt relieved.

He sat down on the stool, lit a cigarette, and slowly smoked it.

Not long after, a young villager ran into Village Chief Liu's house and said anxiously, "Uncle, why are those outsiders wandering around the village?"

"Let them wander around," Village Chief Liu said nonchalantly, puffing on his cigarette. "Everyone should mind their own business."

"But……"

"Ah Cai," Village Chief Liu interrupted him, "do you want to teach your uncle how to do things?"

Liu Cai opened his mouth, "Uncle, how dare I teach you how to do things? I'll be going now."

As he walked out of Village Chief Liu's house, he bumped into Jiang Yuan and his group.

Liu Cai glanced at the group with a sinister look, then turned and left.

Jiang Yuan looked at the little gray creature hovering in mid-air and asked in a low voice, "Whose home is this?"

After carefully examining the surroundings, Little Gray replied, "This is the village chief's house."

Jiang Yuan: "Where are all the girls they brought back from outside?"

Little Gray: "They're locked up in several places!"

Jiang Yuan nodded, then asked, "Can you take us there?"

"Okay," Little Gray said from the front, "Follow the bird!"

Little Grey took them to several places.

Each location where people were imprisoned was in a remote area, appearing to be an abandoned, dilapidated building overgrown with weeds, with personnel stationed nearby to keep watch.

Finally, Little Grey led them to a red tower with two elephants carved on the door, depicting various vibrant colors.

"Where is this place?" Jiang Yuan asked, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Others also looked curious.

A small speck of ash landed on Jiang Yuan's hair as she explained, "This is the tower in their village. They usually come here to worship during festivals."

"This style is quite unique," Meng Xiaokai commented, stroking his chin. "Xiao Xu, stand over there, I'll take a few photos for you."

If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. Little Xu obediently stood over there.

Si Heng hesitated for a few seconds and looked at Jiang Yuan.

When she met his gaze, Jiang Yuan blinked.

Si Heng slightly raised his chin and said gently, "You stand there, and I'll take a couple of pictures of you too?"

Jiang Yuan nodded. "Okay."

Si Heng took two photos of her, and suddenly noticed that there was someone else next to her.

He frowned slightly, his deep black eyes glancing at him with displeasure. "What are you doing?"

"I'm taking a picture with my sister." Chen Ziqi grinned broadly, showing off his perfectly white teeth. "Cheese!"

Si Heng: "..."

He casually pressed the shutter button, strode over, and shoved the phone into Chen Ziqi's hand, saying, "Take a picture of me and your sister together."

Chen Ziqi took the phone and said with a smile, "Isn't that what I should do? My sister is your girlfriend."

Jiang Yuan: "..."

The people staking out the area were initially very wary, keeping a close eye on them. Only when they saw the group taking pictures did they gradually relax their guard and continue playing on their phones.

After taking the photos, Jiang Yuan asked Little Grey, "Why did you bring us here?"

Little Grey chirped as he explained, "Although this is a tower, it's also where they keep female humans."

Jiang Yuan's slender eyebrows slowly furrowed. "Why are some of them locked inside towers?"

“Escape,” Little Grey said. “If the female humans escape and are caught, they’ll be locked up in the tower.”

Jiang Yuan sighed heavily, "What's the difference between being locked up here and being locked up in those dilapidated houses?"

“The difference…” Little Gray thought for a moment, “The difference is… there are often male humans here, but not in those dilapidated houses.”

Jiang Yuan's expression suddenly changed, as if she had guessed something. She clenched her hands tightly at her sides, and her eyes revealed a look of resentment.

"What did Little Gray say?" Xiao Xu noticed her change in mood and gently took her arm.

Jiang Yuan closed her eyes, paused for a few seconds, and then typed a message on her phone and sent it to the WeChat group.

Upon seeing the group message, the expressions on their faces turned serious, and their eyes revealed barely suppressed anger.

"That's outrageous!" Xiao Xu cursed under his breath. "These damn scumbags!"

"Are you sure there were people in those houses?" Si Heng asked Jiang Yuan, his voice low and serious.

"Confirmed." Jiang Yuan had Xiao Moyan fly to the window and the roof to confirm.

"Alright." Si Heng's eyes were cold and sharp, his tone decisive. "We'll move out tonight!"

Every minute that is delayed is torture for the victims.

On their way back to the two-story building after leaving the tower, they encountered Village Chief Liu.

"Are you all going for a stroll?" Village Chief Liu smiled warmly at them. "It's already noon, are you hungry? If you don't mind, you can come to my house for a meal. There aren't any restaurants in this remote mountain village."

Meng Xiaokai rolled his eyes inwardly.

This is a robbery, isn't it?

He laughed and said, "How could I possibly accept that!"

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Village Chief Liu rubbed his hands together. "I'm the village chief, it's my duty to entertain guests from out of town."

“We were really worried about where to eat, and the village chief came just in time,” Chen Ziqi said with a smile. “We can’t let you spend money, so we’ll just pay the same as the restaurants outside.”

"Alright then." Village Chief Liu's eyes practically disappeared from his grin. "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

He led the group to his house and began ordering his wife around: "Quickly, cook that chicken that was just killed!"

Meng Xiaokai sat in the main room and asked with a smile, "Village Chief, are you and your wife the only ones at home?"

"Yes," Village Chief Liu offered cigarettes to the group, "the children have all gone out to develop their careers; there's no future for them if they stay in the village."

"That's good." Meng Xiaokai took the cigarette and tucked it behind his ear. "It shows that you, the village chief, have done a good job in educating people."

Jiang Yuan glanced at the family photo on the wall and said unhurriedly, "Does the village chief have a daughter?"

“There is one,” Village Chief Liu said with some pride, “who works as a lawyer in Yunjing.”

“A lawyer,” Jiang Yuan nodded. “Very excellent.”

Village Chief Liu took a puff of his cigarette. "My son and daughter are both very successful."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "There must be many people in the village who envy you."

"I'm not bragging," Village Chief Liu said proudly, raising his chin. "There are indeed many people in the village who envy my children."

As the group was chatting, Village Chief Liu's wife walked into the main room and called out, "The chicken is ready! Go and eat it while it's hot!"

"Oh dear, we haven't paid yet!" Meng Xiaokai took out his phone and scanned another 500 yuan to Village Chief Liu.

Just as I sat down at the table, a loud voice rushed in, "Old Liu, I heard there's some good stuff coming out these days..."
