"Pardon me for asking, but what's the relationship between the three of you? Are you here on Chongming Island for work?" The officer on duty bowed politely and asked with a smile.
Entry into Chongming Island was stricter than expected. It felt like they had landed in another world. However, the police had their own reasons. After all, this was an island county at the mouth of the Yangtze River. To maintain the security of the entire county, it was best to check and interrogate at the entry point.
"This is my girlfriend, and she's my sister. I brought them here to have fun. We got bored of Shanghai, so we decided to take a stroll around the surrounding areas. I heard that there are many places here that have maintained their original ecology," Mofan replied calmly in his casual attire.
"Brother, I want to ride a horse, I want to ride a horse!" Ling Ling said excitedly. The officer on duty could not help but like her cute and innocent look.
The officer smiled and said, "If you want to ride a horse, you can go to Wanfeng Town. There's a huge ranch there."
"Is there really a horse to ride? Isn't it only available in Inner Mongolia?" Ling Ling asked.
"Haha, there's some here too. A few towns have original pastures. Now, the freshest meat products in the city are all provided by us. When you get to the pastures, you'll know that those frozen, seaborne, and adulterated meat products can't be compared to ours. You've come to the right place to enjoy the original environment," the officer on duty said with a smile.
As he spoke, he returned their IDs. Clearly, he did not suspect that the young couple had brought their sister out to have fun.
"Thank you, uncle," Ling Ling said with a sweet smile.
"What uncle? I'm not even thirty yet," the officer laughed.
"Thank you, uncle."
"…"
After passing through the checkpoint, Mofan and Mu Ningxue could not help but turn their attention to Ling Ling.
Ling Ling had returned to her old-fashioned self. She was a completely different person from her previous innocent and cute self. They felt that it would be a pity if Ling Ling did not fight for an Oscar.
On the bus, Ling Ling had already turned on her mini computer. She quickly tapped on it, and the electronic images on the screen flashed continuously. It was so fast that Mofan had no idea what she was looking for.
"I've already checked all the trading companies here, and I've eliminated the ones that have no problems. However, the ranches that the officer mentioned earlier seem to be related to the development of the government, but most of them are privately owned. Whether it's production or sales, it doesn't seem to be a problem, but there are a lot of places that can be faked, and it's the easiest to fool people," Ling Ling said.
Before she came, Ling Ling had done her homework. There were many towns on Chongming Island, but she had eliminated more than half of them.
"Since they can quietly send Salan abroad, it means that they are still doing business with the international market. If we exclude them, it should be these six companies. All of them are under the banner of the rich and powerful. " Ling Ling quickly listed the six most likely companies and marked them on the map.
"The closest one to us is the tuna trading company in Wanfeng Town. Let's take a look there first," Mofan said, pointing at one of the companies.
The bus was a little slow. It was already noon when they arrived at Wanfeng Town.
Wanfeng Town was a model town. The roads, greenery, and houses were all planned out. It felt like they had stepped into a resort town when they walked in. The transportation was quite convenient, too.
Mu Ningxue and Ling Ling were wearing sister outfits. They were both wearing a fluffy shawl, a long flared mermaid skirt, and a lotus-leaf brimmed hat. They attracted a lot of attention as they walked on the road. Mofan almost forgot that they were in a tiger's den when he saw how relaxed they were.
When they arrived at the tuna trading company, they used the excuse that they were in the wrong place. They walked around the factory and found that it was just a normal tuna processing company. There was no suspicion at all.
They walked around Wanfeng Town and checked out other places that might be suspicious, but the whole town was perfectly normal.
"The Black Vatican has always been hiding in the downtown area. It's hard to find them before they show themselves. On top of that, we can't let the people of the Black Vatican know what we're up to. They are in the dark, while we are in the light. If they think we're up to no good, we won't be able to leave Chongming Island, "Mo Fan said seriously.
Mu Ningxue nodded.
She had a deep understanding of the Black Vatican's style. Yu Ang and Mu He, these two people, had been hiding in her family for so long, yet no one had noticed them.
Perhaps it was the scariest thing about the Black Vatican. They were a bunch of evil people, yet they lived like normal people. They were like ticking time bombs that could not be avoided!
"Let's not rush to the next town. Let's play here for a day," Ling Ling said.
Since they were here to play, they had to play for real. They had only been in a town for half a day, yet they were heading to the next one. It was easy for them to be seen through. As Mofan had said, they must not let the Black Vatican discover them first. It would be ten times, no, a hundred times more dangerous!
They stayed in Wanfeng Town for a day. The shops here were still able to make a lot of delicious food. Mofan pretended that the Black Vatican did not exist and enjoyed his vacation.
At night, Mofan suggested that they get a room.
The two girls agreed, but as expected, Mofan slept alone on one bed, while the two girls slept on the other.
…
The next stop was Pingyi Town. Pingyi Town and Zhenming Town both focused on animal husbandry. Chongming Island was attracting visitors day by day, mostly because of the ingenious nature of the original farm on the island.
Before they arrived at Pingyi Town, they could see large patches of green grass on both sides of the road. The grass was not like the irregular and dense growth of Inner Mongolia, but more like the Sugra style. Every stalk was carefully cut, and it was so clean that it was like a carpet on the ground. It was not too lush and dense, but not too short and sparse. The beauty and freshness of the grass immediately assaulted their senses.
The greenery that greeted their eyes was a beauty and purity that was completely different from the reinforced concrete and glass of the metropolis. The group of men and women on the bus, who looked like university students on an outing, could not help but exclaim.
"Wow, wow, wow, so cool! This is the first time I've seen such a large patch of grass!"
"See, you won't regret it if I tell you to come here!" A scholarly young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses smiled.
