Li Banfeng suspected the twenty cars of coal were likely to be stolen. He decided to follow them to see exactly who the thief was and where they would take the coal.
Now that the Old Man had mentioned their arrival, Li Banfeng immediately stepped out of the Portable Residence and, with a PLOP, fell into the water.
"That old rascal tricked me again!"
Li Banfeng poked his head out of the river. At first, he thought the Portable Residence was playing another prank. But then, he discovered a key in the water and realized the Old Man hadn't been mistaken; he had indeed arrived at the location.
This was the Meisha River.
Li Banfeng had remained inside the Portable Residence and was unaware of the specifics. However, one thing was certain: the coal had been stolen. All twenty cars of it had been taken and thrown into the Meisha River.
This river, filled with mud and coal slag, had become their dumping ground for the stolen goods.
