"No matter who it is, we can't afford to mess with it. Yue Ling closed his eyes slightly and said indifferently, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"That being said, it is true, but we can't let them play us like monkeys!" Mu Tian refused on the spot.

"Hey, Mu Tian, a little sane. Chen Yang interrupted Mu Tian's words, "It's all like this, we should realistically discuss whether this changed mission is harmful to us now." ”

"Well, Chen Yang is right. Ai Yu agreed.

"Okay. Mu Tian shrugged his shoulders, "Chen Yang, this guy said something human, I don't have any objection." ”

"The mission ranges from identifying the thieves to catching or hunting them down to ensure that the Tamil family is not stolen. Ai Yan's mind was spinning rapidly, "It looks like the task has been repackaged, but if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that this was premeditated." ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Ran Yin poured a basin of cold water on Ai Yan, "Even the blind can see that this is premeditated. ”

"Ahem, I mean, the Dark Evil Bureau seems to have known the identity of the thief this time, and since they know it, they sent us here, either because the mission is not very difficult this time, at most E-level, or, let us be cannon fodder and lure out the big guys in the back. ”

"Hmm...... Brother Ai, what you said really makes some sense. Liu Xike blinked with a pair of simple big eyes.

"Two guesses, the former is okay, if the latter, then we can only start preparing the coffin now. Mu Tian said as he gnawed on a chicken leg that came from nowhere.

"Damn, Mu Tian, when did you secretly hide this chicken leg, no wonder this dish only stayed in front of you for less than half a minute, and then it bottomed out. Chen Yang, who hadn't eaten a single chicken leg, looked bitter.

"It's not about what I'm eating, and it's not where it comes from. Mu Tian pretended to be deep, "It's a kind of will, a kind of chic will that would rather be a ghost than die!"

"Damn!" Chen Yang scolded secretly, and was completely conquered by Mu Tian's "Parkinson's thought".

"Either way, we have to do it. Ai Yan's eyes were cold, "If we don't complete or don't take it, we won't have any follow-up return task value! This man has a good brain, and he forces us to make the choice he wants. ”

"It's really unpleasant to be in the middle of the game and be a pawn being manipulated. Mu Tian looked angry.

"Having said so much, don't you have to do it?" Ran Yin got up and walked to the door, "Then it's better to do a little more and put it into action! Besides, if you don't have confidence in yourself, then it's better to get out of the game quickly." This kind of task will also have to be faced in the future, but the time is advanced. ”

Liu Xike waved his white fist, "I support Sister Ran Yin's words!" and ran to Ran Yin, who was about to walk out of the door, "Sister Ran Yin, wait for me!"

"Okay. Ai Yan spread her hands, "What do you think?"

Mu Tian shrugged, "I have no opinion." ”

Chen Yang grimaced, "Whatever." ”

Hao Ren said extremely doggedly: "Ai Yan, I listen to you." ”

Yue Ling stroked the horizontal knife in his hand, "Ran Yin is right, these must be necessary sooner or later, and besides, I don't think I have the ability to complete this task." ”

"Okay, that's it, this task - we'll take it!" Ai Yan made a final decision, "Let's go to the manor to scout around first, and familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment." Mu Tian, how much equipment did you bring here?"

"It's all here!" Mu Tian said with a smug smile, "It's all in Sikal's van, and now it's parked in the manor, and you can pick it up at any time." ”

"Well, in that case—Chen Yang, you can come with me later to get some things that can set traps, and we'll set them up in a desolate and secluded place around where some thieves might come and go, and where there are few people. Everyone also paid close attention to some possible places, and we will meet here in the evening to discuss the next steps. So now, act!"

---

On the wooded path, Ai Yan and Chen Yang each carried a military backpack and walked on the road that was cleared by the manor gardener on time.

Birds sing deep in the green leaves, and insects chirp crisply, decorating the woods in the glittering sun.

"This is the closest road to the back door of the estate. But this place is too far from the castle, Ai Yan, do you think the thieves will go from here?" Chen Yang said to Ai Yan on the side, breathing in the refreshing air of the forest.

"Not necessarily, maybe you're right, but you have to be prepared!"

The two walked until they came to the end of the road, and an iron gate appeared in front of them.

"It's not too high, so it's not hard to climb. "There isn't even a single guard here, and it seems that Summit is confident that this place won't be favored by thieves." ”

Chen Yang carefully observed the iron gate, which was more than three meters high, and was flanked by thick walls with power grids. Two cameras are mounted on top of the door frame, and this range can be completely covered by 360°.

"Chen Yang, let's be here. ”

Chen Yang put down his backpack as he said, took out a sapper shovel from his backpack, and dug a small pit not far from the iron gate.

Ai Yan took out a disc-shaped object from the military backpack, carefully placed it in the small pit, and opened the button on one side.

Chen Yang skillfully covered the disc with soil and leaves, and then transferred and removed the excess soil that had been dug up, restoring the appearance of the place, and it was impossible to see that there was no passive hand or foot here.

"If the thief leaves here after the theft is successful, he thinks that the electromagnetic force disk can stop it for a while. Of course, if that guy can get out of here alive. ”

"Hmm. Ai Yan nodded and stood up, "The third place, let's go, and see where else it is necessary to add some ingredients." ”

The two returned along the same route, and the servants they met along the way folded their hands in greeting when they saw them. Ai Yan and the others would respond at the beginning, but when they closed their palms in three steps, bowed in five steps, and their facial muscles stiffened with laughter, they didn't pay attention to it.

Ai Yan and Chen Yang walked up a high slope and looked at the land in front of them. The green rice fields, lined up on the ground one by one, are dotted with all kinds of vegetation and plants, and in the north, near the gate of the manor, there are castles, open-air swimming pools, artificial lawns, ...... These buildings, gathered there. The whole estate is thus divided into two parts, one is the luxurious side, full of human extravagance and ugliness, and the other part is the negative side of the estate, a large number of slave laborers, working there, sweating for every rupee. No one cares about them, because the eyes are only on the fruit, and only at the wealth that comes from the harvest, even if the estate does not avert wealth from it.

"Go there and have a look. Ai Yan looked at the other side of the manor and suggested.

Chen Yang didn't say anything, he went down the high slope with Ai Yan, walked in the rice field, and smelled a bitter fragrance.

"India has a strong sense of class. As if he knew what Ai Yan was thinking, Chen Yang said slowly, "I inquired with the old butler before, and he said that these slaves are Dalits. ”

"Dalits?" Ai Yan didn't know what he meant.

"Ancient Indians were divided into four castes: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras. Brahmins are priestly aristocrats, who hold divine power, divinate fortune and misfortune, monopolize culture and report on agricultural seasons, and have the highest status in society, and are the first caste. The second Kshatriya was the military aristocracy of the Aryans, including officials from the king down to the king, who held all the power of the state except for the divine power. The two high castes, the Paromin and the Kshatriyas, owned most of the wealth in ancient Indian society and lived on exploitation, and were the ruling class in society. Vaishyas were ordinary laborers in ancient Indian society, the lower middle class of Aryans, including farmers, craftsmen, and merchants, who had to pay taxes to the state. Shudras refer to those freedmen who lost their land and the conquered Dravidians, who were in fact in the position of slaves. Although the current caste system has been abolished, the legacy of history remains. And there is a group of Indians, whose status is called 'Dalits', which means 'untouchables', that is, untouchables, born of different castes, and their status is very low, and this still exists. ”

That sounds like a Chinese farmer. ”

"Well, there are similarities, but there are also differences. Chen Yang did not fully agree with Ai Yan's view, "In China, although there was a slave in ancient times, this concept has not been preserved with the reform. But India is different, the meaning of the existence of blood and family is obvious, the rich have all the glory, and the poor suffer everything. The difference in status is staggering. ”

The low wooden house is damp and shabby gray. The two stood in front of the wooden houses, looking around at the blank slave laborers shuffling their numb steps past them. Carrying shovels and hoes, these people walked through the rice fields, like rats in the fields, dirty and lowly.

"Aren't these people free?" said Ai Yan's brow.

"They say that they are slaves, and in order to survive, they come here to sell their physical strength, and they cannot leave until the signed covenant expires, or they die in the middle. And those who died, no one will care about them, let alone any humane repayment, here, all this is empty talk. ”

"You can see that you know India very well. Ai Yan didn't overdo it and changed the subject.

Chen Yang laughed a few times, "It's not about India, it's about the world." Alas, you don't know that in my academy, what we have to learn is simply not something that people can grasp. ”

"But you learned. ”

"Nope. Chen Yang closed his eyes and shook his head, "What I have learned is only a small part, a lot for you, but for them, it will never be enough!"

"Them?" Ai Yan looked at Chen Yang, who was a little depressed, and vaguely guessed that these people should be teachers from his academy.

"Don't talk about that. Chen Yang opened his eyes, the previous sadness was swept away, and a look of hanging grace appeared on his face again, "It seems that there will be nothing to discover, let's go back first, I think Mu Tian and they are already waiting for us." ”

"Good. Sweeping his gaze over the humble wooden house for the last time, Ai Yan turned and walked away without the slightest pause.

---

Coming to the front of the castle, Chen Yang stretched his waist, "It's been a tired day, let's go, go and have a big meal!"

Ai Yan smiled and walked in.

"Mr. Ai Yan!"

As soon as he entered the hall, Ai Yan heard someone calling his name not far away, and when he looked at it, Ai Yan smiled friendlyly, "It turned out to be Miss Xueli, I don't know what happened to me?"

Did she take a fancy to me? No, you have to control your emotions and guard yourself like jade, well, we are five good young people......

"Mr. Ai Yan, can you talk about it alone?"

Glancing at Chen Yang, who rushed into the restaurant, Ai Yan nodded, "Yes, there is no problem." ”

Xue Li smiled gratefully and led the apprehensive Ai Yan to the third floor.

What kind of rhythm is this? Ai Yan was a little dumbfounded. Does she really have a crush on me? Damn! What am I going to do? Her room seems to be on the third floor, right? What's going on? Ahem, hold on, hold on......

Shirley walked into a room, Ai Yan followed closely, and as soon as she entered, Shirley slammed the door shut.

Ai Yan's body stiffened, and she said in her heart: Damn, it won't be true!

"Mr. Ai Yan......"

"Wait a minute!" Ai Yan suddenly interrupted Xueli, her eyes fluttering a little, "That, Miss Xueli, uh, I'm not ready to ......"

The imaginary rampage did not happen, and what made Ai Yan almost stare out of her eyes was that Xue Li was also a little hesitant.

"Mr. Ai, actually...... I wasn't prepared for this either, because it came so suddenly that I was unprepared, but I couldn't deny its existence. It is like a seed that takes root in my heart, like a wave, and I can't stop it. It broke my heart and left me to face it, but I hesitated because I still don't know if it's real or not. But this emotion has been holding in my heart and making me very uncomfortable, so I must say it......"

"Ahem, then, Miss Shirley, I understand what you are saying, for I am also confused by it. But I have to admit that this is the first time I've seen this kind of scene today......"

Xue Li excitedly grabbed Ai Yan's hand and looked directly at Ai Yan, "Then Mr. Ai Yan, do you believe me, believe what I think, this kind of emotion that has been bothering me?"

Ai Yan's face flushed slightly, and countless expressions flashed in her eyes, but she immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Miss Xueli, say it, I'm ready, no matter what you say, I believe it." ”

Shirley bit her lip and organized the words.

Looking at Xue Li so closely, Ai Yan had to admit that Xue Li was an extremely beautiful woman. The delicate facial features, against the backdrop of white jade-like skin, look even more beautiful and moving. Xiuwai Huizhong, gentle and elegant, the hand that has been held, with the warm touch of nephrite, uh...... This so-called incense is Xueli's faint girlish body fragrance.

Ai Yan felt that she was a little uncontrollable, such a girl stood in front of her, and her appearance was not weak Ling Xue...... Ling Xue?

Somehow, Ai Yan thought of Ling Xue, the cute girl who had saved herself and was abandoned by the person she liked.

Maybe it's because they all have "snow" in their names. Ai Yan thought. And the strange emotions that poured out of my heart just now were also suppressed a lot because of this fragment of memory.

"Mr. Aiyu, I think my sister has changed. Shirley was serious.

"Huh?" Ai Yan was a little confused.

"I mean, I think Ina is very different from before, it doesn't seem like it's her, it's someone else!"
