Yukong landed steadily on the other side of the wall with graceful and calm movements.
After a moment, the door of the warehouse slowly opened from the inside.
Yukong stood at the door and waved to Baiqiong.
Bai Qiong then came to his senses and ran over quickly.
"Little tricks."
Yukong said casually, "When I was young, I experienced too many thrilling scenes on the battlefield. At that time, my physical fitness was better than it is now."
After hearing this, Bai Qiong immediately understood.
In the game, once you activate the secret technique of flying in the air, you can sprint very fast in high heels.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that the items manufactured by Xianzhou are of high quality. If I wore ordinary high heels, the heels would have broken long ago after such high-intensity exercise.
The two walked into the warehouse and began looking for those relatively special boxes.
The warehouse was filled with various cargo boxes, the light was dim, and the air was filled with the smell of tape.
Bai Qiong and Yukong carefully moved among the goods, searching carefully.
"Here, most of them are ordinary textiles..."
As Yukong spoke, he opened the seal of a wooden box.
The box was filled with cloth neatly stacked. She reached out and touched it. It felt delicate and was indeed top-quality silk.
"It seems that the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce has hidden those 'special goods' very well."
Bai Qiong sighed, feeling a little disappointed.
He originally thought that if he could find the women who were trafficked here, he could bring the criminals to justice.
Now it seems that things are not that simple.
Bai Qiong looked at the box in front of him that was half a person's height. At that time, he clearly felt that it was such a box that had living things in it, but now it was empty.
"Now that I think about it, the living creatures I felt in the box before should be slaves they bought from the alien planet. They brought them to the embroidery workshop to conduct illegal transactions."
Bai Qiong's voice was low and a little angry. "Unfortunately, now there is nothing to find."
"When you noticed something was wrong with the box, you were about to go up to check it out when they saw you."
Yukong walked up to Bai Qiong and said softly, "They are naturally alert and will not leave the problematic boxes here again. It is normal that we can't find any evidence."
Her voice was still gentle, with a soothing power that calmed Bai Qiong down a little.
"That's right...it really won't be that simple."
Bai Qiong nodded, "Then we can only proceed according to the original plan now."
He pointed to an empty, half-man-high wooden box and said to Yukong, "Master Yukong, please go into this box and see if you can sneak into Xiuchun Tower. Although I'm not sure if they will come and move these boxes in, we have to give it a try anyway."
Yukong looked at the box without any hesitation in his eyes.
"Okay," she replied simply.
Bai Qiong walked to the box and opened the lid.
The space inside the box is not large, but it is just enough for the slim Yukong.
Yukong walked to the box, jumped lightly, and sat in it. She adjusted her posture to make herself as comfortable as possible.
"Lord Yukong, you must be careful." Bai Qiong said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Bai Qiong. I am the helmsman of the Tianbo Division. If I need to reveal my identity, they won't dare to do anything to me."
Yukong's voice came from the box, with a little trembling, but also a hint of firmness, "I will protect myself..."
Bai Qiong took a deep breath and slowly closed the lid of the box.
Darkness enveloped the entire box again. From Yukong's perspective, only a few faint rays of light came through the cracks.
Bai Qiong stood in front of the box, praying silently in his heart that everything would go smoothly for Yukong.
He knew that the next move would be very important.
But Bai Qiong had a bad feeling in his heart...
Is this not going to turn into a scenario where the undercover investigator is discovered?
Forget it! Don’t think like that!
After all, Yukong's identity is there, so nothing should go wrong. Could it be that the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce has rebelled and dared to attack the helmsman of the Tianbo Division in the Immortal Boat?
Chapter 50: Visiting the Embroidery Workshop Again
Bai Qiong checked around the box again and made sure that nothing was missing. Then he turned around and left the warehouse, closing the door.
As planned, he walked to a street corner not far from the warehouse and began to wait patiently.
As the night grew darker, Bai Qiong became more and more nervous.
He looked in the direction of the warehouse from time to time until a team of possessed machines input commands, opened the door, and walked into the warehouse.
After they took out all the boxes, they walked towards the embroidery workshop...
Bai Qiong knew that after a while, it would be his turn to take action.
……
After waiting patiently for another hour, Bai Qiong felt that it was about time. He took a deep breath, suppressed the nervousness in his heart, and walked towards the direction of Du's Tea House.
After exchanging secret codes with Boss Du, Bai Qiong was once again brought to the embroidery workshop.
Under the cover of night, Jinren Lane, though a night market, is not much noisier than during the day. The sign of the embroidery shop flashes an ambiguous orange light in the night, and the door of the shop is half-closed, forming a sharp contrast with the closed shops around it.
When she reached the door of the embroidery workshop, Bai Qiong's attention was attracted by the professional scanning equipment at the door. This was something that was not available during the day. Any device on the guests entering or leaving would be scanned.
He originally planned to use a miniature camera to film the situation inside the embroidery workshop, but after seeing this sophisticated instrument, he immediately changed his mind.
Bai Qiong took out his cell phone and tried to send a message to Yukong, but received no reply.
His expression gradually became solemn.
Bai Qiong changed a contact person and briefly explained the situation to Yan Qing, then asked him to bring a team of trustworthy Yunqi troops to surround Jinren Lane.
Although, if we rashly send the Cloud Cavalry over, the news might leak out due to the spies planted by the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce.
On the other hand, Yukong was unwilling to let other companies interfere in this matter, and Suchang's proposal to seek external assistance was rejected by her.
But I can't worry about all that now. It's time to clean up this dirty place.
As if influenced by the spirit of words, Yan Qing did not remember what happened with Kafka that night and did not verify Bai Qiong's identity at this time.
He attached great importance to the information provided by Bai Qiong and said that he would bring the Cloud Cavalry Army over immediately.
Bai Qiong calmly took off the micro camera, and when he was still a little distance away from the door, he flicked his finger and threw the camera into the grass beside the road. Sure enough, when passing the scanning device at the door, the only mobile phone left on Bai Qiong was also taken away.
……
"Sir, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time in our embroidery workshop? I wonder which informant introduced you here?"
As soon as I entered the door, a fragrant breeze blew towards me, and an old procuress dressed in a gorgeous cheongsam and still with charm came to greet me, twisting her waist.
The people in Xianzhou have a long lifespan. Although she is an old procuress, she looks very young and is a beautiful fox woman.
This is also good news. At least this time, Bai Qiong’s trip was not in vain.
Bai Qiong retracted his gaze, smiled slightly, and said, "I am Mr. Du from Du's Tea House. I heard that the girls in the embroidery workshop are all very talented, so I came here to see them for myself."
A shrewd look flashed in the fox madam's eyes. She looked Bai Qiong up and down and said with a smile, "Sir, you have a good eye! The girls in our embroidery workshop are the best in Jinren Lane!"
She led Bai Qiong inside and introduced, "Look, these are the top brands in our embroidery workshop. Each one is carefully selected and blended."
Bai Qiong's eyes swept across the hall. Compared with the daytime, the place was completely different.
The booth that originally displayed exquisite embroidery was removed and replaced by a spacious dance floor.
A dozen embroiderers dressed in colorful gauze were dancing in the center of the dance floor.
Their dancing is graceful, their figures are enchanting, and every move they make exudes an alluring aura.
Although it was a scene of peace and prosperity, Bai Qiong keenly caught a glimpse of something strange.
He noticed that each of the dancing embroiderers had some scars on her body, more or less.
He didn't see it clearly during the day, but now Bai Qiong can see it clearly.
Some of those scars were whip marks, some were bruises, and some looked like scratches caused by some kind of tool.
These marks were particularly glaring under the charming smiles they deliberately displayed.
Bai Qiong's heart sank. He knew that these scars were definitely not simple accidents.
He suppressed his anger and pretended to ask casually, "Mom, although these girls are good, I always feel like something is missing..."
The fox madam smiled even more brightly when she heard this: "Master, you have a good eye! These girls are all carefully selected by our embroidery workshop, so they are naturally the best choices. However, if you want something more special..."
She paused deliberately and lowered her voice and said, "We have some 'new goods' here. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Bai Qiong pretended to be curious and asked, "Oh? New stuff? What's new about it?"
The fox madam smiled mysteriously: "Master, you know. These new things have just been 'brought in' from outside. They haven't been seasoned yet, so they are wild! But, the taste... Tsk tsk, you will definitely be unable to stop!"
"But it could be a little dangerous and could hurt guests."
Bai Qiong sneered in his heart, but pretended to be eager to try on his face: "Wild? Good! I like wild ones! But, mom, this price..."
The fox madam stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Bai Qiong: "This number."
Bai Qiong took out a handful of credits from his pocket and showed them to the madam: "Money is not a problem, I have plenty of money! As long as the goods are genuine and the price is reasonable, I will not be stingy!"
When the fox madam saw the thick stack of credits, her eyes widened. She stuffed the money into her arms, and the smile on her face became more flattering: "Sir, you are such a straightforward person! Don't worry, the goods in our embroidery workshop will definitely satisfy you!"
She led Bai Qiong inside, went down a flight of stairs, and passed through a dark corridor before arriving at a heavy iron door.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I will open the door for you."
The fox madam took out a bunch of keys from her waist and opened the lock on the iron door.
"Squeak-"
The iron door slowly opened, and a cold and damp breath blew in.
Bai Qiong followed the madam into the door and found that it was a basement.
The basement was a large space, but dimly lit with only a few oil lamps emitting a faint glow.
There was a foul smell in the air, a mixture of blood, sweat and mold, which was nauseating.
In the basement, the dim lights flickered, stretching the women's figures and making the scars on their bodies appear even more shocking.
Bai Qiong's gaze swept across every corner. Seven or eight women were huddled in the corner, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
Their scars were deeper and heavier than those of the dancers outside who were forcing themselves to smile, as if they were playthings that had unfortunately been caught by wild beasts and tortured, and could only wait to be eaten after being played with tirelessly.
Bai Qiong's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
Where is Lord Yukong?
If Yukong saw this scene, he would probably not be able to bear it and would have taken action right away, right?
But why is it still running as usual here?
He suppressed his anxiety and looked around.
Suddenly, his sight fixed on a familiar figure—it was the barbarian woman he had met once before!
During the day, she was still in the embroidery workshop, disguised as one of the embroiderers.
At this moment, she was lowering her head, her beautiful face looked extremely haggard, her body was trembling slightly, and she seemed to be trying her best to hide herself.
Bai Qiong's heart moved, and he pointed at the foreign woman and said to the madam, "I want her."
The fox madam's face immediately filled with smiles, like a blooming chrysanthemum: "Oh, sir, you have a really good eye! This is a top-notch product, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
She turned around, walked over to the foreign woman, pinched her waist fiercely, and threatened in a low voice: "Serve this master well! If you anger him, you will be in trouble!"
The foreign woman felt pain and her body trembled even more violently. She lowered her head and dared not make any sound.
Bai Qiong looked at this scene, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fist tightly, and his knuckles made a "crackling" sound.
The fox madam didn't notice Bai Qiong's abnormality. She led Bai Qiong upstairs attentively: "Sir, please go upstairs! We have the best rooms here. We guarantee that you will be comfortable!"
