"Yes, he's very good at hypnosis, everyone around here knows him."
Tong Ran asked again, "Are you certain the people who came to see him are locals?"
"I really don't know," the elderly woman shook her head, "I guess they're people up to big things, otherwise why would their movements be so hidden? Plus, when my husband left, he said nothing. He just left thirty thousand in cash given by the other party, saying the rest would be paid once the task was completed."
"Did he tell when he'd be back?"
"He never said. My husband is quite carefree, he just said if anything happened, call this number," the elderly woman said as she took a piece of paper from her pocket, clearly something she carried every day. "This phone number was left before he went, but I've been calling every day, and it's always powered off..."
Tong Ran took a look; it was an ordinary mobile number, nothing special. "Did he leave anything else, like information about the other party?"
