Fearing we might startle the snake by hitting the grass, we stopped at a considerable distance as instructed by Uncle Hat, with only Zheng Yufei carrying a large bag of money towards the trash can.
But the money was indeed very heavy, and Zheng Yufei struggled to carry it. From a distance, I watched her every move closely, afraid that she too would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Zheng Yufei dragged the bag, arriving at the trash can with difficulty. She looked around and didn't spot any trace of anyone.
But suddenly, her phone seemed to ring again. I couldn't hear what was being said, but I could see Zheng Yufei's expression growing tense. She looked around and finally placed the money next to the trash can, then ran in the direction of our vehicle.
Uncle Hat must have heard the exact conversation, as they had installed a surveillance device on Zheng Yufei's phone to help locate Min'er as quickly as possible.
