Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 660 Someone Is Coming

Confirming the person’s identity, Qian Cheng furrowed his brow. Although he didn’t know why the person was here, it was unmistakably that person.

It seemed he had to be careful. If she recognized him, they could be exposed.

"01, what are you thinking about?" Chen Ming returned to Qian Cheng’s side and found him zoning out, gently nudging him.

"I saw an acquaintance." Qian Cheng didn’t hide it and shared his discovery with Chen Ming.

However, Chen Ming was startled and asked, "Your acquaintance, what’s going on?"

This was their first mission, and it had to succeed with no room for failure. Any factor that could affect their mission had to be controlled.

"She used to be my wife’s best friend, but they had a falling out." Qian Cheng briefly explained Cheng Li’s identity. He hadn’t expected Cheng Li to end up in such a faraway place, especially in the hideout of a crime syndicate.

Indeed, the woman Qian Cheng discovered was none other than Cheng Li, the one sold by Old Jiang’s people to the traffickers.

Originally, Cheng Li wasn’t in this village; she was sold to an even more remote village. However, she was somewhat clever and adaptable, quickly winning over the village chief. Eventually, through the village chief’s introduction, she met the leader of the traffickers and soon became his mistress.

This was why she was in this village.

"How did she end up here?" Chen Ming asked puzzledly. If Cheng Li used to be Jiang Xue’s best friend, she should be in Xu City. How did she get so far away and in the traffickers’ den?

Could it be that she was also kidnapped by the traffickers?

Considering this possibility, Chen Ming said to Qian Cheng, "Qian Cheng, could she also be a victim?"

"It’s unclear at the moment, but it doesn’t seem like it."

"Why do you say that?"

"She has freedom, and it doesn’t look like anyone’s watching her. So, she probably isn’t a victim and might even be part of the traffickers."

"If she’s also a trafficker and knows you, shouldn’t you disguise yourself?" Chen Ming suggested. It was a precaution for Qian Cheng and the entire team; if she recognized Qian Cheng, their mission would become tricky, possibly leading to failure.

"Okay, I’ll disguise myself. Help me observe first, see how many people are in that village and who they are."

"Understood!" Chen Ming nodded, taking the binoculars from Qian Cheng’s hand. Meanwhile, Qian Cheng went to the side, took something from his backpack, and applied war paint to his face.

To avoid being recognized, Qian Cheng covered nearly his entire face, leaving only his eyes visible.

Once ready, he returned to Chen Ming’s side and asked, "How does it look?"

"The whole village isn’t large, only about sixty people; there are very few women, less than ten at present. No children or elderly seen."

"No elderly or children is good for us. However, since they’re traffickers, shouldn’t there be many children and women? Where are they?"

"Could there be a cellar where they’ve locked people up?"

"Very likely!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Shall we send someone to investigate?"

"Sure, send 09. She’s a female comrade and might find it more convenient."

As they were speaking, Qian Cheng’s expression changed, saying, "Not good, someone’s coming."
