The moment Lei Yunze said this, Ling Xiaoyue felt a layer of cold sweat rise on her body.
"What do you mean!" Her pupils constricted as she stared at Lei Yunze. She did not understand what he meant.
"The walls have been stripped off and the machines laid out. However, there are not many weeds on the ground. Also, look at the mud on the side next to the wall. It's obvious that there are tracks pressed into it." Ling Xiao Yue looked in the direction he pointed. Her heart jolted. Indeed, there were traces of car tires on the soft sand.
Ling Xiao Yue's face paled but there was panic in her expressionless face. She took two steps forward and felt her arms tighten. She was pulled by Lei Yunze as the duo hid behind an excavator.
"You …" Before Ling Xiao Yue could finish her sentence, Lei Yunze used his hand to cover her mouth.
"Shh, someone's coming."
Ling Xiaoyue felt her scalp tingle. Lei Yunze hugged her waist as he pressed his back against the excavator. The duo held their breaths and listened attentively. They could faintly hear the voices of humans.
Not Chinese?
"This is …"
"Thai."
"You can understand?"
Lei Yunze shook his head.
However, they were not clear about each other's background so they didn't dare to rush out. The two of them were hiding behind the machine and didn't dare to make a sound. Lei Yunze stealthily glanced outside. A few men in black suits were standing there, talking about something. Their voices could be heard, but he didn't know what they were talking about.
Lei Yunze took out his phone and turned on the recording.
A black SUV entered the factory, "There really are other roads here." However, this was good as well. At the very least, he would not reveal his whereabouts.
Ling Xiao Yue looked at the few of them without saying a word. They were a distance away so her appearance could not be seen. However, from the looks of their figures, they did not look like Asians.
After exchanging a few words with each other, they bid each other farewell and sent those people off. One of them carried a business suitcase and returned to the factory.
Seeing that they had left, Ling Xiao Yue looked around quietly. The factory returned to its previous dead silence, as though no one had come before.
"Who are they?"
"I'm not sure, but it seems like they're not friendly." Lei Yunze looked around vigilantly and kept his phone, "It's not a good idea to stay here any longer. Let's go first, I'll get someone to translate this."
The two of them did not waste any more time as they turned around and quickly left the factory. They saw a small path beside the factory, the marks left by the wheels were very clear. Lei Yunze's eyes were fixated at the end of the road as he left the factory with Ling Xiaoyue.
When the duo boarded the car, Ling Xiaoyue felt chills run through her body. There were too many questions laid out in front of her, so she was momentarily at a loss as to what to do.
On the way back, the two of them remained silent. Lei Yunze opened the map, and a name caught his attention.
"International Airport?" Ling Xiao Yue had also discovered it. She never expected that an international airport would be located less than five kilometers away from this remote region.
Ling Xiao Yue instantly woke up as she pointed to the international airport and said to Lei Yunze, "Lei Yunze, turn around and see how long it will take for us to reach the international airport." Lei Yunze also understood what she meant. Turning the corner, Ling Xiaoyue took out her cellphone to calculate the time.
"Although it looks very close, because the road is hard to walk on, there are some places where you have to take a detour, and you can't drive fast either." Who would have thought that after walking for close to an hour.
"Is it possible to get there within half an hour?" Ling Xiao Yue parked in the airport parking lot and looked at the airport in front of her. The scene of her looking for the recitation in the trash can appeared in her mind.
"Perhaps, this is the exit of that road."
"Director Lei, the thing you want." The next day, Lei Yunze went to his office and Ye Jia placed a USB drive on the table. Lei Yunze glanced at it and then inserted the USB drive into his computer.
"The audio is not complete, so the content of the translation is not completely accurate. However, the approximate content should not be wrong."
Lei Yunze replied and seriously looked at the audio translator.
[The cooperation is very enjoyable. Hopefully we will have another time... Thank you for your support, and trust that we will be win-win partners... This is the advance payment from the earlier period, the remaining 80%, pay at delivery...]
Lei Yunze frowned and looked at it seriously a few times. From these words, he could roughly guess that it was a transaction. But what were they doing trading? Why did they have to go to such a remote place?
"Oh right, there are some professional phrases, slang or code words in the dialogue. I don't know what that means, but the one at the back lists the original text. The words that didn't translate successfully have been marked out."
Lei Yunze flipped to the end and saw the words marked out in the document, and in some particularly important places.
"It's been hard on you. Don't mention this to anyone, even my parents." Seeing the seriousness on Lei Yunze's face, Ye Jia was also able to distinguish what she couldn't say.
"Director Lei, don't worry. Ye Jia will decide the priority."
Lei Yunze put down his plate and thought about when he should go back.
It wasn't just Lei Yunze who was particularly concerned about that place. Ling Xiao Yue was constantly thinking about it. However, Lei Yunze had repeatedly told her not to take the risk and asked her for more information. Ling Xiao Yue could only quietly wait for news from him.
"What did you get?" The moment Lei Yunze returned home, Ling Xiao Yue came over to welcome him.
"Not yet. The phone is too far away. I can't hear a lot of things. It's just a few words." Lei Yunze wanted to cover this up, but he had a premonition that this group of people did not seem like good people.
Ling Xiaoyue did not doubt Lei Yunze's words in the slightest. With a look of regret, she turned to Lei Yunze and said, "Let's go again another time. I have a feeling that that place might be where we locked up our remembrance."
Lei Yunze looked at Ling Xiao Yue and sighed. "For this group of people to hide in such a place to do some shameful business, it proves that they are definitely not to be shamed. It's too dangerous for them to rush over."
When Ling Xiao Yue heard his words, her expression changed. With a measuring gaze, she looked at Lei Yunze, "A deal? How do you know they're dealing? "
Lei Yunze froze in place, blaming himself for being too careless, "I guessed it from their expressions and movements." To Lei Yunze's words, Ling Xiaoyue found it hard to believe.
"Let's eat first!" Ling Xiao Yue did not continue on this topic. Seeing that she did not ask any further, Lei Yunze heaved a sigh of relief.
There were many times when he blurted out things without thinking too much. Lei Yunze chided himself for being careless, but fortunately, Ling Xiao Yue did not question him today. Otherwise, he would not have known how to respond.
