Footsteps echoed from far away, growing closer, making our hearts race with tension.
Luckily, there was a pile of unknown junk in a dark corner nearby, where we could all hide without being exposed.
Given the current situation, if we acted abruptly, it would only alarm the kidney-harvesting doctor inside. Our only chance was to quietly deal with the person coming in and then disguise ourselves as lackeys to enter the operating room without causing trouble.
"Hurry up and get inside, or I'll kill you if you resist!"
Mao Dinglun's voice suddenly came from behind us.
It was so late, and he was still catching piglets.
Damn it!
No wonder we hadn't heard any screams in the park tonight. He was kidnapping them while they slept, avoiding panic and ensuring the piglets' willingness to type on the keyboard.
"Please don't kill me, I'll do whatever you say, sob sob."
Wait, did that sound like Cui Niu crying?
In the darkness, we exchanged looks, especially Ba Yi, who was visibly trembling.
No matter what, Cui Niu was his fellow villager. Before she betrayed me, she had given him sisterly love and warmth.
The more someone has hurt you, the more seeing them like this stirs up strong emotions.
"Shut up!" Mao Dinglun grabbed her long hair, yanking it hard and throwing her a few meters away.
"Thud." Cui Niu lay on the ground, limbs splayed, groaning in pain.
"The supervisor sent you to the offshore medical ship to be a blood slave. You should be grateful. If you keep making noise, I'll kill you."
Mao Dinglun kicked her, sending her flying into the glass house's entrance.
"!!"
I gripped Ba Yi's hand, signaling him to stay silent.
The noise was so loud that even the doctor performing the surgery looked outside. Seeing Mao Dinglun kicking a female piglet, he indifferently turned back to continue harvesting organs.
He seemed to be performing a major surgery and had already given the male piglet anesthesia.
Since we arrived, the person on the white sheet hadn't moved an inch.
After knocking Cui Niu unconscious, Mao Dinglun skillfully tied her up and threw her onto a nearby cardboard box.
Suddenly, two dark figures emerged from the side of the glass house. "Lun Ge, everything is fine in the basement..."
"Smack!"
Mao Dinglun slapped them, and they collapsed.
"Damn it, if you sleep again, I'll cripple you! Stay alert and don't let anyone mess with us!"
"Lun Ge, we understand."
The figures quickly got up, bowing and assuring him with trembling voices.
"Useless!"
Mao Dinglun cursed. "Watch her. I need to catch another one!"
Damn, that scared me.
So there were two people hiding in the basement. Luckily, 3 a.m. is when people are most tired, or we would be done for.
After Mao Dinglun left the basement, the two lackeys rubbed their faces and approached the unconscious Cui Niu.
The dim light outside the glass house made it hard to see the lackeys clearly, but through the glass, I could see the bodies and organ transport boxes inside.
"She's going to be killed anyway, so let's have some fun first."
"Hurry up, and don't let Lun Ge find out, or we'll get beaten."
The two lackeys sneakily carried Cui Niu into the canvas, planning to have their way with her.
Ba Yi couldn't help but curse, "Damn it..."
"Shh."
I covered his mouth and whispered, "Ba Yi, you and Qiang Ge go start the car. Wrench and Screwdriver will take out the lackeys quietly, and we'll enter the glass house together.
Don't shoot. I'll wait for Mao Dinglun in the passage. Once we take care of them all, we'll leave immediately."
"Split up." Wrench and Screwdriver crouched and crept toward the canvas.
Ba Yi was pulled by Chen Weiqiang to the far right of the glass house, where several cars were parked.
One had a red "cross," likely a refrigerated transport vehicle for the offshore medical ship.
The modified Iveco organ transport vehicle could easily fit all of us.
Meanwhile, I ran to the passage entrance.
As long as there wasn't a large group of piglets driven in, I could handle killing Mao Dinglun.
He had to die tonight!
I stood straight against the slightly recessed wall, waiting quietly for Mao Dinglun's arrival.
"Thud."
A slight sound of impact came from the basement, likely Wrench and Screwdriver breaking in.
Killing those two lackeys was a piece of cake for them.
But opening that glass door intact required some trickery.
I was wondering if Chen Weiqiang had opened the car door when I heard a rustling sound outside.
Someone was coming.
Judging by the shadows, it was a tall and short pair, with one being dragged.
Their mouth was likely gagged, as I only heard muffled struggles.
The shadows grew closer.
I held my breath, ready to ambush Mao Dinglun.
With no light in the passage, I relied on the faint outside light to see their approaching shadows.
When the front figure passed me, I swiftly struck his throat.
"Thud."
Mao Dinglun fell.
The man with his hands tied behind him was also knocked out by me.
I dragged them to the corner and quickly ran into the basement.
"Damn, the car won't start..."
As soon as I entered, Wrench jumped out of the car, searching for tools.
Screwdriver, sweating profusely, kicked the van. "Damn it, all the cars have been tampered with. The ignition wires are cut."
Even these all-around soldiers couldn't start the car, let alone us amateurs.
Ba Yi was still trying to fix another SUV's ignition.
"...What's happening?"
I turned to see five bloodied doctors lying by the shattered glass door.
There were seven or eight corpses on the ground, emptied of organs.
The man's heart had been removed, just not placed in the transport box yet.
The opened boxes were filled with bloody organs, with one heart still beating...
In the darkness, Chen Weiqiang suddenly grabbed my arm and growled, "Damn it, we've been tricked."
"Tricked... by Liu Shiyi?"
Ba Yi hit the steering wheel and quickly jumped out.
Screwdriver and Wrench stopped searching for tools and looked at me, puzzled.
I paused, realizing, "No... we've been fooled by Yang Lianting!"
Liu Shiyi wouldn't set us up because it wasn't necessary.
So, apart from the perverted Yang Lianting, there was no one else.
