161: Yuan, I am Huangmao!
Liang Yuzhu brought several police officers to the pharmaceutical factory for investigation and saw Old Sha and Huang Mao in the distance.
The three exchanged glances without changing their expressions.
Following this, Liang Yuzhu asked Lao Wang, "Where is the pharmaceutical workshop? Take me to see it."
"Ah? Oh... this way, please." Lao Wang nodded in response and immediately led Liang Yuzhu to the pharmaceutical workshop.
...
On the other side, Liang Yuzhu entered the factory and saw the special effect ointment being produced on the assembly line through a layer of glass.
She asked Lao Wang some questions about the situation, and he answered readily.
It seemed this pharmaceutical factory was just a newly established branch factory that had only recently started operations.
"Norman Pharmaceuticals..." Liang Yuzhu muttered to herself.
After a thorough inspection, she didn't find anything unusual.
This continued until Lao Wang, with a flattering expression, escorted her to the factory entrance.
Liang Yuzhu glanced at Old Sha and Huang Mao out of the corner of her eye.
According to the previous speculation, they had some connection with Abyss.
Their presence at the factory now was likely because they were sent in to gather information.
If Police were investigating now, Norman Pharmaceuticals would hide all suspicious traces completely.
Perhaps only by going into the factory as an undercover agent could more intelligence be obtained.
Thinking of this, Liang Yuzhu left the factory.
...
Old Sha and Huang Mao remained in the factory; several trucks came during the day to pick up goods from the pharmaceutical factory.
As porters staying at the pharmaceutical factory, the two were busy throughout this period, exerting a lot of effort, loading the incoming trucks to the brim.
Deep into the night, Huang Mao was already exhausted, lying on a camp bed that smelled faintly of mildew, and said:
"Bro Sha, this job is really not easy."
"It's only the first day, and I can barely lift my arms."
Old Sha, however, exercised regularly, so this workload was not a problem for him.
He turned to look at Huang Mao's young face and said earnestly:
"That's why I say you should study hard. Going to school will always give you other options."
"Otherwise, you can only rely on brute force."
Hearing this, Huang Mao whispered from the side, "Bro Sha, that's true."
"But I see you know so much, and your knowledge is so profound, and yet you're still..."
As Huang Mao said this, Old Sha sighed with a bitter smile.
He sat up from the camp bed and looked at Huang Mao with a serious expression.
"Isn't my situation special? And even if I don't want to be a Homeless person anymore, I can find a way to make a living on my own."
"It's just that I've gotten used to this kind of life and don't want to change anymore."
Old Sha spoke from the heart, then looked at Huang Mao and asked:
"Hey, tell me honestly, why did you come out to wander?"
"At your age, why aren't you staying in school?"
At Old Sha's questioning, a hint of sadness flashed across Huang Mao's face.
His voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees, and he responded softly:
"It's because of something that happened at home..."
Immediately, Huang Mao told Old Sha about his situation.
Huang Mao's mother passed away a long time ago, and his father was a heavy drinker year-round.
Later, he found a stepmother who had a daughter, and Huang Mao originally thought that with a family atmosphere, life would be better.
But the family's life was difficult, and Huang Mao's stepmother repeatedly suggested providing for his stepsister's schooling and having Huang Mao drop out to work.
Huang Mao's father didn't object to this either, so Huang Mao simply ran away from home.
He stayed with that group of Homeless people under the bridge for a few days, and then he met Old Sha.
After listening to Huang Mao's story, Old Sha also sighed helplessly.
Family matters are the most difficult to change.
He originally wanted to offer a few words of comfort, but Huang Mao seemed to have already come to terms with it.
"Ah, Bro Sha, you don't need to say anything to me."
"I've been living like this for years, and I'm already used to it."
Seeing this, Old Sha could only nod.
"Beep beep beep--" Just as the two were talking, a truck suddenly honked outside.
The rattling sound of the pharmaceutical factory's iron gate also came out immediately, and a vehicle drove into the factory.
Hearing this series of sounds, Old Sha and Huang Mao naturally knew what was happening.
However, both were quite surprised, and they exchanged glances.
"Bro Sha, it's so late, why is there still a truck coming to pick up goods?"
Old Sha also frowned. It was already deep into the night.
The pharmacies in the City should have closed long ago.
Now a truck suddenly arrived again; where was it going to deliver the goods?
"Something's wrong..." Old Sha muttered in a low voice.
He then signaled Huang Mao to be quiet and listened carefully to the movements outside.
But after waiting for a long time, there were footsteps outside moving goods, but no one came to call them out to help at all.
This made the two feel even stranger.
It seemed they weren't meant to be involved in this move at all.
Acting so mysteriously, the destination of this truck must be unusual.
Old Sha immediately signaled Huang Mao with his eyes: "Go, let's go out and see."
Huang Mao also nodded in agreement, and the two immediately walked out of the warehouse.
Opening the warehouse door and looking out, they saw a blue truck parked under the moonlight.
The lights at the rear of the truck flickered indistinctly.
Old Sha and Huang Mao tiptoed over.
They walked around the truck to the back.
The two finally saw the people behind it.
They saw Lao Wang holding a flashlight, helping a person dressed as a driver move medicine boxes onto the truck.
And when Lao Wang heard footsteps behind him, he quickly turned around.
"Who??" The flashlight beam shone directly on Old Sha's face, the light so bright he couldn't open his eyes.
Old Sha raised his hand to shield his eyes and said with a smile:
"Wang Ge, it's us."
Seeing it was Old Sha and Huang Mao, Lao Wang put down the flashlight.
"Oh, why aren't you two staying put? What are you doing out here?"
"Ah, we just heard the sound of a truck arriving and wanted to come out and help."
Old Sha responded naturally, and at the same time stepped forward to help the driver start moving the medicine boxes.
"Wang Ge, why didn't you call us when there was work?"
"Did you think it was too late and didn't want to disturb us?"
"Ah, that's totally unnecessary. Just give us the order if there's something to do."
Hearing these words, Lao Wang raised his eyebrows slightly.
How could he be afraid of disturbing them? It was just that this batch of medicine was special.
The delivery location was also confidential, and he didn't want anyone else to know.
However, since Old Sha had given him a reason, Lao Wang decided to go along with it.
"Heh heh, yes, it's good you know."
"Hurry up, move the rest of these medicines onto the truck, and go back quickly when you're done."
As Lao Wang's words fell, Old Sha and Huang Mao exchanged glances.
As expected, something was wrong!
They just didn't know where this shipment was going.
If they could find out, there might be some major discovery...
Thinking of this, both Old Sha and Huang Mao started to have ideas.
Both gave each other a look.
Old Sha patted the phone in his pants pocket, while Huang Mao pointed at the truck.
Both seemed to understand each other's intentions.
Immediately, while moving the goods, Old Sha, with Huang Mao's cover,

secretly turned on the location sharing mode on his phone.
And while moving the goods, he quietly put the phone into the truck's cargo compartment.
After doing this, Old Sha made a gesture towards Huang Mao.
And Huang Mao seemed to have made a decision and nodded towards Old Sha.
Then, pretending to be tired, he said, "Bro Sha, I feel a bit dizzy and want to go back to rest first."
"Okay, you go back first. I'll finish moving this."
With that, Huang Mao turned and walked towards the other side of the truck, disappearing from their sight.
Soon, Old Sha finished moving all the remaining goods onto the truck.
As the cargo compartment was locked, the driver got into the truck.
He slowly drove the truck away from the pharmaceutical factory.
Old Sha watched the departing truck and breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned and said goodbye to Lao Wang, then also headed towards the warehouse.
"Phew, it's all done now." Old Sha closed the door and said.
However, the warehouse was completely silent, and in the darkness, he couldn't even hear Huang Mao's breathing.
Old Sha was stunned and quickly searched the warehouse with his eyes.
And the next second, he was shocked to find that Huang Mao was not in the room!
What was going on? Didn't Huang Mao say he was coming back first?
Old Sha frowned, recalling Huang Mao's eyes and actions just now.
Only then did he realize Huang Mao's intention.
"Damn... this kid, he didn't follow the truck, did he?!"
...
On the other side, just as Old Sha had expected.
Huang Mao said he was going back to rest just now, but he didn't go back to the warehouse at all.
Instead, he hid from their sight and quietly climbed under the truck.
Holding onto the crossbar under the vehicle, he left the pharmaceutical factory with the truck.
Huang Mao was now following the truck, heading towards the destination together.
Meanwhile, Su Yue saw a message from Old Sha at home, which was a location share.
He watched as the other party's location moved rapidly on a highway in the eastern suburbs of the City.
This also made Su Yue feel a bit surprised.
"Aren't Old Sha and Huang Mao undercover at the pharmaceutical factory? Where are they going so late?"
Su Yue immediately sent a message to Old Sha, asking about their specific situation.
However, the other party did not respond for a long time.
Seeing this, Su Yue also realized that things were not simple.
He immediately walked into the basement and made some disguises.
When Su Yue came out of the basement again, he had completely changed his appearance.
He was wearing a black baseball cap, a dark blue outfit, and had a taser on his waist.
In the darkness of the night, this outfit was extremely inconspicuous.
Lin Jia upstairs was already asleep, and Su Yue first connected his phone to the home's surveillance.
This was a program Li Haoyang had created, temporarily shutting down the surveillance for a few minutes.
Taking advantage of the gap, Su Yue rode his electric bike towards the suburbs.
...
Huang Mao traveled with the truck, holding tightly onto the crossbar under the vehicle.
He had been forcing himself, and his arms were gradually becoming stiff and about to lose strength.
At this moment, the truck also bounced, and Huang Mao felt stones scraping against his back.
The vehicle seemed to have entered a secluded dirt road.
At this point, Huang Mao also realized that the truck was likely about to reach its destination.
Things were indeed as Huang Mao expected. After a series of bumps,
The truck's speed gradually slowed down and finally drove onto a concrete surface.
It stopped there, and the driver got out, saying to someone:
"The medicine is here, start moving it down."
Following the driver's voice, the people around began moving the medicine boxes down from the rear compartment.
And Huang Mao observed from under the truck; he could see three pairs of feet around him.
Only when those three pairs of feet were all facing away from Huang Mao did he crawl out from under the truck.
Huang Mao stayed close to the truck, surveying the surrounding environment.
He found that this was not a factory; the surroundings were bare.
There was only an entrance leading underground in the distance.
It looked like an air-raid shelter, with a pale light emanating from inside.
And the people who were moving the goods were carrying the medicine boxes inside.
When he saw the attire of two of them, Huang Mao was instantly stunned.
He saw that they were wearing white protective suits!
Weren't they the Fat Bears that he and Old Sha had chased earlier under the bridge!
"Found them!" Huang Mao's heart immediately filled with joy.
"No wonder I couldn't find them before. So these Fat Bears were hiding here!"
And seeing them moving the medicine boxes into the secret laboratory,
Huang Mao took advantage of this time, just as he was about to find a place to hide and report the situation to Old Sha.
"Bro Sha! I've tracked them to their laboratory! I'll send you the location now!"
He sent a voice message, and as a result, his peripheral vision caught the cargo compartment next to him suddenly lighting up.
Huang Mao was instantly stunned and looked towards the cargo compartment.
He saw something inside emitting light, and it was a phone!
How did a phone appear in this truck's cargo compartment?
Huang Mao didn't think too much and directly picked up the phone in the corner.
Seeing the worn appearance of the phone and the message notification being the voice message he had just sent to Old Sha,
"Isn't this Bro Sha's phone?" Huang Mao was instantly stunned.
Only then did he realize that when Old Sha had looked at him earlier, he meant to put the phone on the truck.
It turned out neither of them had understood the other's intention...
Huang Mao couldn't think any further at the moment, hearing footsteps approaching.
He immediately jumped off the truck again and darted into the surrounding barren grass.
Watching the group of people moving the medicine boxes, Huang Mao unlocked Old Sha's phone and set the brightness to the lowest.
Only then did he realize that Bro Sha's phone was sharing its location with Abyss.
So Bro Sha wanted to use this to determine the truck's destination directly.
Following this, Huang Mao also saw the message from Abyss.
His heart immediately trembled. Could he now contact the mysterious Abyss directly?
He immediately replied to Abyss through Old Sha's phone:
"Abyss? It's Huang Mao!"
"I followed a truck and have now found their secret base!"
Soon, Su Yue on the other side also saw this message.
"?" Su Yue was riding his electric bike, following Old Sha's location.
Seeing that the person holding the phone was actually Huang Mao, he couldn't help but be surprised.
However, seeing Huang Mao's report, Su Yue also felt a little emotional.
This Huang Mao actually found that group's secret base? This young man has some skill.
He immediately sent a message: "Find a safe place to hide first, I'll handle the rest."
"Okay, I'm already hiding, they won't find me."
Huang Mao replied, then looked at the location sharing.
He found that Abyss was also approaching his location and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Abyss is coming in person... So I'll be able to see him later?"
With this thought, Huang Mao was vaguely excited.
And at this moment, that group of people had also moved the goods off the truck.
The driver got into the truck, preparing to start it.
The headlights instantly shone brightly, illuminating the surrounding grass.
