It was the most profitable time of the year, and most of the shops were open all night. The citizens who usually couldn't find time for work were also taking advantage of this opportunity to buy the New Year's goods that they hadn't bought yet.
In a car outside the city's largest supermarket, a well-dressed young man took out his phone and dialed a number.
The phone rang a few times before it was picked up.
"Hello, boss," the young man said into the phone.
"Wang Er, how's the progress?"
"I've been watching. They've already targeted them. It seems like they're looking for an opportunity to make a move."
"Are the people introduced by Mr. Five clean? The police are crazy during the New Year. Don't be targeted as soon as they arrive. "
"I've asked around. The three of them are from Hei Province. They've been taking jobs in the Soviet Union. They're not close to the police here. "
"Working in the Soviet Union? Why are they here? "
"I heard from Mr. Five that the three of them did a big job in the Soviet Union. They accidentally escaped alive and were targeted by the gangs. That's why they went back to hide in China. They left in a hurry and didn't bring much money. Mr. Five introduced them here. "
"Okay, remember, just watch from afar. Don't interfere."
"Got it, boss, but …"
"Hurry up and say it!"
"But the three of them look like ruthless people. They won't kill them right away, right?"
"What does it have to do with us if she dies? As long as that b * tch Zheng stays quiet for a month after the New Year, she can f * cking torture whoever she wants after we finalize the procedures."
"Got it!"

Qu Sen was a little helpless. He miscalculated and shouldn't have gone to the supermarket to store things.
The two wretched girls, who still had their year-end bonuses, suddenly realized after entering the supermarket that they couldn't live without snacks during the New Year. Therefore, after Qu Sen used three storage boxes to store everything, he was pulled into the entrance of the supermarket by his sleeve.
When they came out, the two big bags of snacks cost Qu Sen another four hundred yuan. The two of them were still confident. The reason was that the clothes that Qu Sen bought before used a lot of their leftover savings.
What could Qu Sen say? He just swiped his card to pay.
After waiting for a long time, they finally found a storage box to store the snacks. The two of them started to make trouble again. They even wanted to change into the clothes that they bought in the afternoon.
For this, Qu Sen could understand.
After all, Zhou Li and Li Ying didn't have a chance to wear clothes other than going out. Today, she had been put on beautiful makeup by the two "perverts". If she didn't wear her new clothes and show off, it would be a waste of the money she had spent.
But the problem was, if you want to show off, then show off. Why do you want me to change clothes? Am I going to lose face when I walk with you wearing this?
Although Qu Sen firmly expressed his opposition, as the minority among the three, he couldn't go against the trend. After resisting for a while, he could only take the bags that belonged to him and walk into the men's bathroom.
In an area where people of the same sex came and went, it was really embarrassing to change clothes in front of so many people. Qu Sen almost blushed as he changed his clothes, pants, and shoes. Then, he stuffed the old clothes into the bag and escaped.
"Tsk ~ Why didn't you change into the sweater!" After coming out of the bathroom, Zhou Li helped Qu Sen adjust his collar while complaining.
"Sister, it's really embarrassing!" Qu Sen said helplessly.
"No one is watching, what's there to be embarrassed about?" Before Zhou Li said anything, Li Ying said something.
"No one is watching!" Qu Sen used his eyes to signal the "guests" coming in and out of the men's bathroom.
"You can't be …" Li Ying seemed to suddenly realize something, and Zhou Li already began to laugh.
Qu Sen was puzzled at first, then he suddenly realized that there was a "separate room" in the bathroom. If he remembered correctly, in the row of separate rooms, there seemed to be a door with the words "Changing Room" written on it.
This is f * cking embarrassing …
Qu Sen went back to the storage area of the supermarket with a gloomy face. After waiting for a long time, he finally got two boxes. After storing the clothes of the three people, he went downstairs under the urging of the two girls.
The first floor of the supermarket was filled with all kinds of boutiques. Zhou Li and Li Ying's desire to buy things was not fully satisfied, so they were not in a hurry to go out. They began to stroll from store to store, so they did not have time to continue laughing at Qu Sen. This freed him from the previous embarrassment.
At this time, there was an announcement in the mall:
"Little Zheng Zerui, little Zheng Zerui, when you hear the announcement, please ask the nearby uncles and aunties for help. Ask them to send you to the broadcast room on the third floor.
Dear guests and all staff, if you see a male child around seven years old, wearing an orange sweater, blue jeans, and white Adidas sneakers, please help send him to the broadcast room on the third floor. Little Zheng Zerui's mother will reward you. "
After the announcement, the soothing voice faintly sounded again. Since the afternoon at Baisheng until now, Qu Sen had heard the announcements of adults looking for children, or children looking for adults, no less than five times. Therefore, he did not pay attention to it.
Nowadays, no matter which mall it was, it was very common for families to be separated. Under normal circumstances, one could find the person through the broadcast.
Since it was still early, Zhou Li and Li Ying were not in a hurry. They almost went around all the boutiques on the first floor of the supermarket. After buying a few small things, they followed the crowd and walked out of the supermarket unhurriedly.
Because there were too many customers entering the supermarket, the white tiles on the ground were basically trampled black. A few cleaners were quickly cleaning up with a mop.
The customers who were about to go out saw the yellow warning sign in the middle of the road that said "Customers Do Not Enter". They all began to turn around and go to the other exits of the supermarket.
The three of them mixed in with the crowd and temporarily stopped when they saw the warning sign. They waited for Zhou Li to confirm the next destination before deciding which exit to go out.
During the short wait, a tall man with a child in his arms stopped beside Qu Sen for a while. He looked at the sign hanging above his head and walked to the left.
The reason why Qu Sen paid attention to him was because the man had not changed his clothes or taken a shower for a long time. The smell of cigarettes, oil, and sweat on his body was suffocating.
However, the child in the man's arms was clean and tidy. Although the child was wearing an adult's coat, the clothes inside were neat and tidy. The yellow sweater, jeans, and sneakers on his feet had an obvious Adidas logo.
When Qu Sen saw this scene, he could not help but sigh in his heart. Parents were always like this. No matter how hard their lives were, they would do their best to give the best things to their children.
If one did not look at the adults, but looked at the sleeping boy in his arms, one would think that he was born in a very good family.
Moreover, he was already seven or eight years old. When he was sleepy, he would let his father carry him to sleep. It was obvious that he had grown up spoiled.
While Qu Sen was sighing in his heart, Zhou Li finally decided on the direction of the next stop. He called out to Li Ying and Qu Sen and turned to the left.
When they were near the supermarket's exit, they bumped into the supermarket's staff pushing a cart that had been folded up and stacked on top of each other, forming a long line inside. It was not convenient to turn in this thing, so the three of them were directly pushed to the side.
Although the staff tried to control it, the long line formed by the cart almost hit the partition of a boutique. The staff quickly stopped and walked to the front to adjust the direction of the cart.
Just like this, Qu Sen and the other two stared at the supermarket's entrance, but they could not pass through.
At this moment, the music in the supermarket stopped and the search broadcast sounded again. However, because it was close to the entrance, the voice was not very clear. It could faintly be heard, "A male child around seven years old, wearing an orange sweater, blue jeans, and white Adidas sneakers. Please help send …"
When Qu Sen's attention was attracted by the broadcast, Zhou Li pulled him back. When he turned around, he saw that she and Li Ying were walking towards a fire escape door behind them that was not tightly closed. On the other side of the fire escape door was the supermarket's staff passageway.
Outside the staff passageway, the young man in the car at the supermarket's entrance looked at the buggy with a handicapped vehicle sign that was gradually disappearing into the crowd and traffic. He took out his phone and dialed again.
"Boss, they succeeded."
"Did they cause any commotion?"
"No, they did it alone. They just left with the child in the buggy."
"Okay, pay the balance. Don't contact them in the future."
