Chapter 85

"Survival is the most important thing!" her companion replied in perfect unison.

"That's right!" Zhao Yuan had been on Undercover Agent missions more than once or twice. She knew that the responsibility of reporters was to get the information out and expose the crimes of these criminal groups, not to fight them. Generally, the priority was to save their own lives.

The fake drug factory she and her partner Undercover Agent last time was truly a disaster. After entering the factory, they handed over everything except their underwear, yet they still managed to smuggle information out.

Zhao Yuan looked at him. "Now that you've revealed your identity, can you tell us what's going on here?"

Xie Siheng smiled helplessly, "You're really fearless. Do you know what would have happened if it hadn't been me who came in?"

"Forced?" Zhao Yuan could roughly guess what was going on. This place was full of handsome men and beautiful women, and it didn't look like a real medical clinic. Instead, it seemed more like a place for sex trafficking.

Considering the different treatment times for male and female infertility that I saw when filling out the forms, it's not hard to guess that if the problem lies with the man in a couple, and the treatment time is so short, the only possibility is that the woman was impregnated, meaning she used someone else's sperm!

In short, it involves drugging them to provide that kind of service, getting them pregnant without them even knowing.

"That's right," Xie Siheng nodded, lowering his voice, "The medicinal baths you took, the medicine you drank, and even the scented ones all contained hallucinogenic ingredients, layering on top of each other. After you fall asleep, those so-called Doctor will come in and treat you. As for how they will treat you, you should know without me saying more."

The companion was incredulous. "This actually works? Didn't anyone have any doubts?"

"That's why they insist on couples coming together for treatment. If you were drugged and have memories of those things happening, where can they possibly suspect anything?"

Xie Siheng looked at his companion, "Everyone who comes here has something wrong with them. They're all ashamed to talk about that kind of thing. And when you came, you filled out a lot of forms. They'll use the couple's blood types and physical characteristics on those forms to select suitable people to treat you. Basically, they can ensure that no one will suspect anything."

Zhao Yuan roughly understood, "If it's a girl with a problem, and the treatment takes more than ten months, does that mean it's surrogacy?"

"Yes." Xie Siheng's voice was deep. "It's even more difficult for girls with problems. They'll have someone else carry the pregnancy, and the girl herself needs to be in a state of hallucination throughout, believing that she is really pregnant. It's not just about medicinal baths and incense burning; everything they drink, eat, and everything else is drugged. They might even arrange for actors to act around them at all times, brainwashing them."

He glanced at Zhao Yuan and said, "You should be glad you didn't choose a girl, otherwise it wouldn't have been as simple as seven days. During the treatment, you wouldn't have been able to contact the outside world; you would have been completely isolated."

Zhao Yuan's worldview was once again shattered. These people would do anything for money! She couldn't even imagine how devastated those couples would be if they left here full of hope, only to find out later, after their children were born or grew up, that the children weren't actually theirs.

"I've said everything I can. You all know how dangerous this place is. Leave here tomorrow and don't put yourselves in danger again!"

"And what about you? How did you get here?" Zhao Yuan asked instead of answering.

"I naturally have my reasons for staying here. As for the reasons, I'll tell you when I have the chance. In any case, get out of here as soon as possible tomorrow," Xie Siheng warned again.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yuan didn't see it that way. "You're all alone here, isolated and helpless. Wouldn't it be better if you had two helpers? As far as I know, this isn't the only clinic with problems. Their hot pot broth contains a lot of poppy shells to make it addictive. Where do you think these poppy shells came from?"

Xie Siheng was visibly taken aback, clearly unaware that drug trafficking was also involved here!

His companion didn't seem to care. "Don't underestimate us reporters. We have way more inside information than you do. You don't really think we just walked in unprepared, do you?"

As she spoke, she waved the wristwatch on her wrist at Xie Siheng. Beneath the seemingly ordinary watch face, a miniature camera was actually hidden. Zhao Yuan then pointed to the hair tie on her head, confident that he would understand without her saying so.

Xie Siheng curled his lips into a smile, his eyes gleaming. "It seems I really underestimated you all."

"You'll be responsible for ensuring our safety, and we'll be responsible for getting the message out, creating public opinion, and attracting public attention, how about that?"

Xie Siheng remained silent.

Zhao Yuan assumed his silence meant agreement, and extended her hand to him, saying, "Then I wish us a pleasant collaboration?"

"It's a pleasure doing business with you."

One week later, on Friday morning, during the long break between classes.

After finishing their morning exercises and returning to the classroom, some students quickly took a nap at their desks, some were just starting breakfast, and some were chatting energetically.

Qin Shiyue was scrolling through her phone idly when suddenly her fingertip stopped, and her eyes widened.

Wait a minute? She couldn't believe her eyes! Song Lake Resort Villa, a famous tourist and leisure destination in Jing City, has been exposed for suspected involvement in drug trafficking, illegal surrogacy, money laundering, and other illegal and criminal activities!

She had been to this place with her family before, and Shen Luoluo had just been there a few days ago. Qin Shiyue quickly showed her phone to Shen Luoluo.

"Luoluo, look! The Song Lake Resort Villa you just visited a few days ago has been bombed!"

"Good heavens, they even added a huge amount of poppy shells to the hot pot!" Qin Shiyue gritted her teeth in anger. "I even ate it!"

Hearing the voice, Chen Jiashu quickly came over. "Songhu Villa? The one we went to before? Their hot pot is very famous and tastes great."

"That's it! It's not that it tastes good; it's because it has a lot of poppy shells added, making it addictive, that's why you think it tastes good!"

Qin Shiyue's voice was loud enough that all the surrounding classmates heard it and took out their phones to check the message.

Because this place is very famous, most of the students in the class have been there to some extent, and when they saw the news, they felt a chill of fear.
