hide?”

As Su Meng spoke, she kept her eyes on the Village Chief.

Sure enough, when the Village Chief heard her mention the words ‘human trafficker’, his expression changed for a moment, but he recovered in an instant.

“Master, did you see that person enter our village?” the Village Chief asked warily.

Su Meng shook her head, regretfully.
She said, “No, I saw him enter the mountain, but the mountain path was really hard to walk, so we lost him.
It was precisely because of this that we came to find you.
We wanted to ask you, but in the end, we picked up that set of keys on the way here.”

The Village Chief sighed and explained, “Master, we are surrounded by mountains here.
Even if someone came here, they might not necessarily come to our village.
If they hid in the mountains, then we might not be able to find them.”

“In that case, let’s leave first.
We’ll go look for them ourselves.
If we’re lucky, we might be able to find them.
Generally, human traffickers have accomplices.
Other than accomplices, the buyer also has to bear the responsibility,” Su Meng said.
She pulled Wei Ting and turned to leave.

Seeing that Su Meng was about to leave, the Village Chief hurriedly stopped her.

“Master, it’s getting dark.
The mountain road isn’t easy to walk on.
Look, it’s already so late.
Do you want to stay here? Although our place is very remote and not as luxurious as your big city, our house is clean and the local food is considered delicious.
Why don’t you stay here for a night? Tomorrow morning at dawn, I’ll get someone to help you look for him.”

“Please don’t decline.
You’ve helped us too much.
We should thank you anyway.
Since there’s a chance, why don’t you stay? With more helpers, we can find him as soon as possible, right?”

The Village Chief’s attitude appeared sincere.
It seemed that he really wanted to thank Su Meng and help her.

Wei Ting looked at Su Meng and nodded slightly at her.
Only then did Su Meng agree.
“Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you, Village Chief.”

“What trouble? It’s not like we don’t know each other.
Only by helping each other can we be called friends.” The Village Chief took the opportunity to quickly improve his relationship with Su Meng.

“Forgive me for saying this, but I want to ask, does anyone else know that you’re here?” After the Village Chief asked, he quickly added, “Because I’m afraid that if too many people know, someone will point the way for that human trafficker to escape.”
