”May I ask what the relationship between you three is? Why have you come to Chongming Island?” an inspector on duty bowed politely and asked with a smile.
The regulations at the entrance of Chongming Island were a lot stricter than they thought. It felt like they were trying to enter a foreign country. However, they had their own reasons. The place was a different district. In order to maintain order, applying strict control at the entrance was a reasonable solution.
”She's my girlfriend, and this is my sister. I've brought them here for a short little trip. Shanghai was getting quite boring, so we decided to visit some other places. I was told that most places here are a great experience of nature,” Mo Fan was dressed in casual clothing right now, and replied calmly.
”Brother, I want to ride a horse, can I please ride a horse!” blurted out Lingling playfully. Her cute, adorable look immediately earned the inspector's affection.
The inspector smilingly said, ”You can go to Wanfeng Town if you want to ride a horse. They have a huge ranch there.”
”Do they really have horses there? I thought only the Inner Mongolia has horses?” asked Lingling.
”HAHA, we have horses here, too! Most towns here are traditional ranches. We supply the freshest meat you can find in the cities. You will know once you visit the ranches. That frozen, imported, fake meat is incomparable to ours. You have come to the right place if you're thinking of enjoying nature,” the inspector smiled.
The inspector returned their identification while he was speaking. He had no reason to doubt the couple who had come traveling with a younger sister.
”Thank you, uncle,” said Lingling with a sweet smile.
”What uncle, I am not even in my thirties!” the inspector laughed.
”Thank you, young uncle.”
”...”

As they passed the checkpoint, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue subconsciously looked at Lingling.
Lingling had regained her usual indifferent look. She looked like a completely different person than the active, adorable girl just a moment ago. They both felt it was a waste that she was not interested in winning an Oscar.
As they boarded the bus, Lingling immediately took out her notebook computer and rapidly smashed the keys. The screen blinked continuously. It was so quick that Mo Fan had no idea what she was searching for.
”I just checked the businesses that are registered and excluded those that I think are unlikely to be our target. By the way, the ranches that the inspector mentioned seem to be working with the government. However, most of them are privately owned. There aren't any problems with their production and sales, but you can easily fake most of them and use the business as a front,” said Lingling.
Lingling was fully prepared before they departed for the island. There were lots of towns on Chongming Island, but the girl had already filtered out half of them.
”If they could secretly help Salan flee the country, the business must be big enough to do international trading. With that in mind, there are only six possible targets left. Most of them are privately owned by some big shots,” Lingling quickly listed the six possible targets and marked them on a map.
”The closest one to us is Tuna Trading Co., LTD, at Wanfeng Town. Let's check it out first,” said Mo Fan pointing at one of the markers on the map.
