Chapter 71: Captured, Crisis

  It's rare for everyone to have a free weekend, and even Ning Shi Yang has some spare time. Over the weekend, they can actually go out shopping and eating together. This change makes Qiu Meng Yu and Min Jing, who are already used to being alone for over a month, feel very uncomfortable.

  Su Mo seemed very natural about it, and she already knew the reason for such a change.

  But what made her feel strange was that Hao Gang actually appeared directly beside Ning Shi Yang.

  If it's really true that Hao Gang was sent to protect Ning Shi Yang, then according to his past life memories, Ning Shi Yang shouldn't be the real target those people are looking for.

  But what about those people she and Ning Shiyang met in the alley that night?

  Is it because the other side is also confused by this side's confusion, so they are not sure who the target is, and that's why they also attacked Ning Shi Yang?

  A mass of fog in her mind, Su Mo was so entangled that she couldn't utter a single word.

  "You've seemed a bit distracted lately." In the classroom, Su Mo sat in her seat staring blankly ahead. Next to her, Ning Shi Yang had been more relaxed than usual over the past few days and had also noticed that Su Mo had been particularly subdued during this time of relaxation, unable to guess the reason. At this point, she could only ask directly.

  Listening to Ning Shi Yang's words, Su Mo Ruo turned her head to look at Ning Shi Yang, staring at her for a long time, making Ning Shi Yang feel very uncomfortable. Only then did she slowly relax her gaze and shift her eyes elsewhere, saying: "I'm fine, I was just thinking about some things."

  "What's so special that you've been thinking about it for so many days?" Ning Shi Yang continued to ask shamelessly, persisting in his inquiry.

  "It doesn't matter."

  Seeing Su Mo Ruo's expression, Ning Shi Yang also knew that he couldn't ask anything else, so he straightened his body and fell silent.

  In the next class, Qian Mengyu and Min Jing were like two unbridled wild horses, with a relaxed and excited expression on their faces.

  Qiu Mengyu rushed to Ning Shi's side, wrapped her waist with one arm, and stretched out a gentle touch. Unlike his usual silence towards others, he seemed to be in an extremely good mood. "Dead girl, you've been pretending to be cool for over a month now, can't pretend anymore, huh?"

  It's not easy to catch this opportunity to go out and have fun with them, Ning Shi Yang is also very excited, as if he has returned to his previous state, like a crazy girl, nodding continuously, "Yes, yes, the days of pretending to be cool are over, now I've restored my former self, and I still think my former self makes me feel more at ease."

  "Haha, look at your mouth." Min Jing walked over and gave Ning Shi Yang a punch on the head, looking very generous.

  "Where are we going to play today?" Ning Shi Yang hadn't gone out to play in a long time, although it was boring, but she also knew that this was her parents' consideration for her safety. She couldn't be willful, and now that her parents had said they had sent someone over to protect her, nothing would happen, which finally put her at ease.

  Su Mo smiled faintly and said, "Let's go eat first."

  The other three people heard this and had no objections, and they all excitedly went downstairs to set off.

  The four people chose a Chinese restaurant that looked high-end, surrounded by upscale consumer venues, and basically the people who come to these places are either rich or noble.

  Sumo's specific identity background is unclear to both Meng Yu and Min Jing, but the fact that they can't find out his identity background only proves that he is absolutely exceptional.

  Ning Shi Yang knew about Su Mo Ruo's relationship with the Ning family, but he also knew that she had grown up in a poor small town and was raised by an ordinary woman alone, so her family conditions should not be good. However, since they were still here for dinner today, Ning Shi Yang didn't dwell on this issue anymore.

  When entering the restaurant, Sumo suddenly changed. Although she didn't say much, when with three people together there would be conversation, but at night when they entered the restaurant to dine together from start to finish, no matter how many joyful voices and laughter there were, or how good the atmosphere was, she appeared to be in a silent state, occasionally picking up her chopsticks to eat some food. But anyone who carefully observed her knew that her mind wasn't on this.

  Ning Shi's mind was even more sensitive, after all, the things that had happened in recent days made her very uneasy. "What's wrong, Mo Ruo?"

  Listening to Ning Shi Yang's voice, Su Mo Ruo raised her head and looked at her, "Where are the people your dad sent for you?" Then she said to Quan Meng Yu and Min Jing beside her, "Come over here a bit, let's get closer."

  Qiu Mengyu and Min Jing listened to Su Mo's words, feeling a little surprised, while Min Jing exaggeratedly shouted, "Wow, Iceberg Girl actually let us sit closer, you won't be having feelings for us, will you?"

  Su Moer didn't bother to respond to her, only glanced at her and then fell silent again.

  She stared at Su Mo Ruo in a daze, unable to react for a moment to what he said. It wasn't until she felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze that she slowly came back to herself. "I don't know, but my dad said they've always been near me, secretly protecting me."

  "Hey, hey, what are you two whispering about again? Why don't you just talk to us together?" Min Jing looked at Su Mo and Ning Shi Yang with a displeased expression, clearly unhappy about their whispering. They were all friends, out for dinner together, where was the need for secrets between them?

  Ning Shi Yang raised his head and glanced at Min Jing, then also didn't show weakness, "What, are you jealous or admiring my good relationship with Mo Ruo?"

  "Damn, I'm so jealous of you guys, get out!" In just two sentences, Min Jing's true nature was revealed. Her large earrings shook with her anger, and the thick black eyeliner made her eyes look even more piercing.

  "Alright, you two stop arguing for a bit, I just don't get it, why do you love to bicker so much?" Chu Mengyu finally spoke up with what she thought was a fair statement. She had once considered letting the two of them live in the same room for ten days or half a month, and wondered if when she saw them again, she would see one or both of their corpses.

  This is no exaggeration. If there wasn't a mediator between these two people, they probably would have blown the roof off.

  "Be careful——” Before she finished speaking, Su Mo's eyes widened and her right foot reflexively kicked away the person sitting closest to her, Tuan Yuemei. Since they were sitting close together, when Su Mo pushed Tuan Yuemei away, Tuan Yuemei's chair was also pushed against Min Jing, causing Min Jing to be pushed away a great distance as well.

  Turning around, he reached out and grabbed Ning Shi Yang, pushing him to the back position against the wall.

  "Boom——" With a loud crash, the crystal chandelier that was originally supposed to be securely hanging from the top of the private room suddenly fell straight down onto the dining table. The table wasn't very large, and the fallen chandelier almost completely occupied it. The shattered crystals scattered in all directions, spreading out towards Su Mo and the others.

  The four of them subconsciously hugged their heads and leaned over, dodging those crystal shards.

  "Hurry up and evacuate." At this time, a man's figure suddenly rushed out of the private room. He was dressed in black, with a black hood over his head, revealing only a pair of eyes. His nearly 1.9-meter height and strong physique exuded a cold, hard aura, making him appear extremely imposing.

  Ning Shi Yang subconsciously pulled Su Mo Ruo closer as he heard these words, "Let's hurry."

  "Quickly!" - Qiu Mengyu and Min Jing, who were still in a daze, were suddenly awakened by the shout and quickly ran towards the door.

  Ning Shi Yang followed closely by Su Mo Ruo.

  The man in black glanced around cautiously with his eyes and quickly followed.

  Inside the restaurant, it was suddenly filled with people in black clothes, and there were no longer any guests around. The boss and the waiters had all been driven to a corner, huddled together and trembling with fear.

  As they stepped out of the gate, two black sedans were parked outside. Su Mo Ruo took a glance at the cars and stopped in her tracks, also holding back Ning Shi Yang, Quan Meng Yu, and Min Jing.

  "What's wrong?" Qiao Mengyu and Min Jingxin were jumping with anxiety, wasn't it just coming to eat a meal, why make it so thrilling.

  Ning Shi Yang, however, noticed that Su Mo Ruo was acting strangely. She still remembered the incident in the alleyway last time, and at this moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of dependence on and trust in Su Mo Ruo. Looking at the black-clad men in front of her and the ones who had followed them out of the private room earlier, she said, "You guys go check the car to see if there's a problem."

  The black-clad man who came out with Ning Shi Yang seemed to be the leader, and now, upon hearing these words, he couldn't help but fix his gaze on Su Mo Ruo. His heart skipped a beat, and his originally calm heart was shocked when he saw those eyes. A pair of eyes stared straight at Su Mo Ruo, unable to utter a single word.

  "What did you find?" Suddenly, he took a step forward, grasped Sumo's hand, his voice serious and solemn, with a hint of tension.

  Furrowing her brow and staring at the hand in front of her, there were some things she didn't want to get entangled with, but he wouldn't let her have her way.

  "Ah," his voice trailed off, unintentionally laced with a hint of tension.

  "Let go—" Su Mo's gaze met his, her voice cold and hard, her face icy, the two words spat out with not a hint of weakness.

  Clutching Sumo's hand shook for a moment, but then tightened again. "Tell me, who are you?"

  "Head, this car can't be sat." Just as the two were about to clash, a black-clad masked man who had finished inspecting the two cars walked up to Su Mo and the man, his low voice sounding in their ears.

  With a loud crash, thinking that these two cars were driven by them, there was no problem at all in the early stage, and they had been thoroughly checked before leaving. Where could it be so easy for someone to catch an opportunity? But Sumo Rou just took a glance and found the problem, even in such a dangerous and tense situation.

  She, who is she, and why, there are places on her body so similar to hers.

  "Use that car." Su Mo pointed to a black sedan parked in the corner of the street, looking ordinary and unremarkable, just an average ten-million-dollar sedan with no special security features whatsoever. But it was exactly this car that Su Mo wanted.

  "Head..." - The person next to him hesitated for a moment, glancing at Su Mo Ruo. After all, just now she had only taken one glance and yet had detected that there was something wrong with the car. This absolutely wasn't an ordinary person, so he was hesitant. But since their leader was still here, it was impossible to directly listen to Su Mo Ruo's words.

  "Do as she says, hurry up." Time was of the essence, and tonight they had also guessed that the other side might make a move. After all, their continued appearance had made those people quiet for so long. Tonight was an opportunity that was hard to come by, even if they knew there were tigers on the mountain, those people would not be able to refrain from acting.

  Listening to the man in front of him giving out orders one by one, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. He was still the same as ever, never having changed.

  But then he smiled wryly again. According to his past life, at this time, he was only 28 years old, although in this life she had already lived more than a year longer.

  "You get on this car with us." Two cars started, one of which was originally for Ning Shi Yang to sit in. Su Mo Ruo was supposed to follow Qu Meng Yu and Min Jing to sit in the back of the other car, but the man changed it temporarily.

  Ning Shi Yang was naturally delighted and pulled Su Mo Ruo onto the car.

  Before getting on the car, I still greeted Qu Mei Yu and Min Jing, indicating that these people would send them back to school first, and they went back afterwards.

  All the way, the car directly entered the national highway, slowly driving away from Donghai, entering the suburbs, with a black and shiny piece around, there were no vehicles coming and going on the national highway, only this line of cars was driving.

  The man sat in the driver's seat, his body tense from head to toe, clearly on high alert for his surroundings.

  Ning Shi Yang also knew that tonight would definitely be unpeaceful, his heart felt stuffy and he tightly grasped Su Mo Ruo's hand.

  "Turn left ahead." Su Mo said with a glance at the rearview mirror, instructing the driver in the driving seat.

  "Do as she says." With such strong detective skills and observational abilities, who else could it be besides that person?

  The man's heart at this moment was finally unable to conceal his calmness. He suddenly turned around and looked at Su Mo Ruo, "Who are you?"

  "You should take charge of this matter now, otherwise our lives will be lost here." As soon as the words fell, a convoy of vehicles slowly followed from behind, and it seemed that there were not a few.

  Accelerate.

  Although orders have been given, the driver who drives is also a good hand in driving skills in the team, but after all, the car is very ordinary and cannot be compared with the first ranking car behind.

  Before long, they were caught up again.

  The car screeched to a halt.

  It's also something that can't be helped, who let the car not compare to others' after all?

  "Sitting in the car." The man looked at Ning Shi Yang seriously, his voice heavy as he got out of the car. Before getting out, he gave Su Mo Ruo a sentence, "Please help me, protect her well." Ning Shi Yang was their team's ace and key protected person. If anything happened to this girl, it would be a joke to them, Dragon Team, in the eyes of the nation. They were considered a god-like team, absolutely not weak enough to fail at protecting just one girl.

  Perhaps unaware of the man's thoughts, Su Mo'er responded with a very solemn expression, "I will take good care of him."

  His heart skipped a beat again, but he quickly adjusted his emotions and got off the bus.

  "Unexpectedly, the great Dragon Captain has already made his move." As soon as he got off the car, the voice with a hint of disdain came over from the other side.

  The captain is a god in the hearts of all team members, high and unattainable. Where can these people be so insulted? Suddenly, one by one, the black-clothed men with covered faces had sparks in their eyes.

  "I and my teammates each have only one life, no difference, they can take risks, why should I sit at home in comfort?" The man's words were well-calculated, both to soothe the team members' hearts and to make everyone trust him more.

  The man's face stiffened, and as for the Dragon Squad Captain, it was said that hearing about him was not as good as meeting him in person. Now that they had finally met, just one sentence had allowed the other party to gain the upper hand, so how could his expression possibly look good? However, towards this Dragon Squad Captain, he couldn't help but feel even more admiration.

  "Hao team leader, we all know your abilities and everyone admires you. Our boss also hopes that you can join our big team. At that time, whatever you want, our boss will satisfy you." The man said a flattering sentence in front of everyone at this moment.

  If this remark is answered carelessly, it may affect Hao Gang's position in the minds of the public, and even his reputation will be affected by people's gossip.

  Hao Gang listened, merely raising his head and smiling, "You overestimate me."

  Neither denying nor clarifying, he just said this one sentence in a clear voice.

  The other party had long known that Hao Gang was a stubborn and hard-hearted person, who would not budge even if the king of heaven came. Now it seems that his reputation is well-deserved.

  The team members around Long also had no extra thoughts about Hao Gang, and in their hearts, they only admired him more.

  "Captain Hao, going against us won't do you any good. You're clear about our goal; as long as you hand over the person, tonight, you can save many of your comrades from losing their lives."

  Upon hearing this, Hao subconsciously furrowed his brow. Yes, his personality was straightforward and clear-cut between right and wrong, but he also knew that their profession, their duty, required them to loudly declare: "Our duty is here, even if it means losing our lives, we will do our utmost, with a clear conscience, and without shame before heaven and earth."

  The teammates around him responded loudly to Hao Gang's words, "Do things without shame to the world, without shame to the heart."

  "In that case, then today, you all have to die." The implication is that if they can subdue Hao Gang, that would be the best outcome. If they cannot subdue him, then no matter how high his abilities are, he will not be able to escape the threat of these weapons in their hands.

  At this time, a clear and cold voice exploded in everyone's ears, causing the other party's movements to come to a halt. "The weapons in your hands are of poor quality."

  Before everyone's eyes, a figure emerged wearing a black windbreaker, with hair tied up in a ponytail at some point, and Su Mou walked towards the other person amidst everyone's astonished gazes.

  "Stop right there—" Hao Gang stared at Su Mo Ruo's movement, his eyes widening in fright.

  Her intuition was strong, the other party's hand had absolutely lethal weapons, she walked over just to investigate, and that sentence earlier had a probing tone with a hint of delay.

  "The little girl is quite bold." The people on that side looked at Su Mo Ruo, who was actually walking towards them alone with such boldness, and naturally became interested.

  Su Mo walked swiftly under everyone's shocked gaze and reached the opponent's "territory" in just a few seconds.

  Watching Su Mo walking away, Hao felt his heart almost stopped beating.

  Looking at the rear of the car, various high-tech misty weapons were already prepared, many of which she had only heard of but never seen before. One of them looked like a glass long canister with stainless steel bars embedded on the outside, placed on a small table that resembled a launcher. The visible glass inside was green and emitted a faint green glow in the dark night, sending shivers down one's spine.

  The complexion changed rapidly and greatly.

  "Heh heh, girl, you're only scared now?" In the car, a middle-aged man smiled at Su Mo Ruo, seemingly admiring her.

  "Which eye did you see me being afraid with?" Time wouldn't allow her to drag it on any longer.

  In that middle-aged man's must-have arrogant smile, in Su Mo's strange gaze, the surroundings changed rapidly.

  In an instant, she was back to when Sumo had just gotten off the car.

  The same sentence burst out, and in the same scene as just now, Hao Gang's astonished eyes walked to his front.

  He whispered a few words in Hao Gang's ear, looking at Hao Gang's unpredictable face, and gazing into each other's eyes, as if the tacit understanding between them would never run out.

  "It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not exist." So said Su Mo.

  "Let's have a good talk." Hao Gang's words revealed the change in his mind, and soon stunned everyone.

  The team members around Hao Gang were even more astonished, staring at their captain in shock, but due to their usual trust, no one asked what was going on.

  The person opposite was also stunned, not understanding whether this sentence was Hao Gang's conspiracy or not. However, the other side did not show any fear of these words. A middle-aged man's pleasant voice rang out, "Captain Hao, a wise man knows when to act. Your words are a very good choice."

  "Cut the crap, you find a place, we'll have a good talk." At this time, he had to ensure everyone's safety. If what Sumo said was true and that thing was really that powerful, then they would all be doomed tonight. He couldn't gamble on it, so as Sumo said, he'd rather believe it existed than not.

  The car suddenly wrapped the other person in a package and slowly drove further into the suburbs.

  "Next, you take her away." In the car, Hao Gang glanced at Su Mo Ruo and then slowly stretched his hand from the front passenger seat to the back, gesturing with his fingers.

  In fact, such a simple and unremarkable gesture would not be understood by many people, unless they were members of the Dragon Team who had received special training. The other side was very strict in controlling them, so it was impossible for them to communicate with each other. During this time, Hao Gang was just holding onto luck and couldn't confirm whether Su Mo Ruo could understand or not.

  But miracles happened.

  But it's just that sentence: The less you hope for something, the more likely it is to happen.

  Who knows, Sumo suddenly understood.

  She reached out and grabbed Ning Shi Yang beside her, an unintentional action that told Hao Gang of her plan. She said she wouldn't leave, telling Ning Shi Yang to have him find another team member to take away instead.

  The car drove slowly down the national highway, winding and turning many times along the way.

  Suddenly a sharp brake, fortunately the driver was on their side, so it didn't arouse suspicion from others, they all thought something on the road had gotten stuck.

  But in just an instant, the driver let Su Mo Ruo fall behind and with a single slash, ended it quietly.

  Similarly, the man sitting next to Ning Shi Yang in the back also made something shot out of a small object in Hao Gang's hand, killing him instantly.

  The two people suddenly lost their breath, with only their eyes wide open, apparently they did not expect that they would lose their lives like this.

  Two people are always too light, the man in the driver's seat only thinks about defending against Hao Gang, the captain of the Long Zu team sitting in the co-pilot seat. Because when he came to drive, he was given orders from above. Hao Gang is a very difficult opponent, but who would have thought that Su Mo Ruo, who sat behind him, was not a good guy either, and gave him this fatal blow halfway through.

  The man who loved Ning Shi Yang was also just looking at Su Mo Ruo, occasionally glancing at Hao Gang in the driver's seat, but he didn't think that Hao Gang, who had let his guard down, would so quickly dodge his attack and save his life.

  Ning Shi Yang's eyes widened, the scene in front of her was so astonishing that she couldn't react for a moment. But she still remembered what happened with Su Mo Ruo last time in the alley, and didn't make any sound, only covering her mouth with her hand, staring wide-eyed.

  "You drive." Su Mo looked at Ning Shiying, she didn't believe that Ning Shiying couldn't drive.

  Ning Shi Yang heard Su Mo Ruo's words and didn't hesitate at all, directly getting out of the back seat and into the driver's seat, starting the car.

  So many things happened in an instant, without anyone noticing. The people behind just thought the car had stalled and needed time to start up again.

  At this time, Hao Gang had already taken out something unknown from his bag and was fiddling with it on the passenger seat.

  Soon a thin thing appeared, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a human skin mask.

  "Do you still remember that man's voice just now?" Hao Gang glanced at Su Mo Ruo and then asked Ning Shi Yang.

  Ning Shi Yang suddenly came back to her senses and knew what business she was in. She nodded repeatedly, "I know."

  "Uh, after a while you'll get used to that man's voice. If you're not familiar with it, just speak less, but remember, your movements must be steady and don't show any hesitation, otherwise you'll arouse his suspicion and you'll be in danger, got it?" Hao Gang also knew that his usual personality and style couldn't be used on Ning Shi Yang. The other person was younger and from a better family background, although he had also received training in the army since childhood, but still couldn't compare to these people from the Dragon Unit. Many people outside called them perverts, which wasn't entirely unfounded. So his voice here sounded softer than usual, like coaxing a child.

  But Su Mo'er, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but want to laugh, because this kind of Hao Gang was not often seen. The previous Hao Gang mostly had a serious expression and tone, rarely joking around, even when talking to himself, he wouldn't have such a coaxing tone.

  Ning Shi's hand trembled slightly, her face turned pale, but listening to Hao Gang's voice made her feel like he was treating her like a child. Her face looked very bad, and the hot blood of a military family and the stubborn gene in her veins made her uncomfortable with Hao Gang's words. Her voice also unconsciously carried a few degrees of coldness and hardness, "I'm not a child, who said I'd be afraid after hearing that."

  "Alright, don't be afraid, come on, drive carefully, I'll help you stick this thing on." As he spoke, his hands moved faster.

  Su Mo had already stripped the dead driver of his clothes, leaving him with only a pair of underwear.

  Fortunately, the driver was very thin, so Ning Shi Yang didn't get hurt. After a slight adjustment to his body shape, he looked quite similar.

  "You go change your clothes, I'll drive." A strange feeling in his heart, Su Mo Ruo's coordination with him was surprisingly similar to that person. He hadn't even noticed Ning Shi Yang's clothes yet, but she already had. In her heart, there was an intense thought, wanting Su Mo Ruo to continue partnering with him like this.

  But she wasn't that person after all.

  "Make one for me too." Su Mo had somehow already

  Ning Shi Yang was very obedient and cooperative, although they changed seats several times during the journey, but it didn't cause any trouble for the three of them. The car slowed down and stopped in front of a large villa with its back against the mountain and surrounded by the sea. The villa was huge, and after entering, the car drove for more than 10 minutes before stopping in front of one of the villas.

  "It's indeed cunning, with so many villas inside. Those who don't know would have to search one by one, or else, destroy them all, but that way, the time needed wouldn't be just a few minutes." Su Mo Ruo thought to herself.

  And Hao Gang, who was watching everything in front of him, wasn't thinking the same way either.

  All car doors opened one by one, and Sumojo's side was no exception.

  The car looks very dark, Su Mo is very tall and directly blocks many places in the car. With his hands on the front driving position, he props it open, making it impossible to see the situation inside the car.

  When getting off the car, Su Moer's eyes gazed slightly at Ning Shiying in the driver's seat, looking at the hesitation and reluctance flashing in her eyes, and subtly gave her a hint.

  Su Mo wasn't in the car, which made many people suspicious, but since the main characters were all there, no one asked any more questions in the end.

  However, when they walked to the villa entrance and the middle-aged man leading today found that Su Mo had disappeared, his eyes suddenly became sharp, "It seems that you still haven't given up."

  "What, are you going to take my life and my friend's too? If so, I don't mind if it's my corpse that stays here tonight. I'm telling you, nothing will happen." If Hao Gang standing here didn't know the inside story, he would probably really think that Su Mo Ruo in front of him was Ning Shi Yang. Who could have thought that a young girl like her could imitate Ning Shi Yang's demeanor to such an extent?

  "Let my teammates go, I'll stay here with her." At this time, Hao Gang also spoke up. Actually, when he got off the car, he had thought about it and decided that after getting off, he must speak more to shift the attention of these people, letting them slightly forget that Su Mo was not there.

  As expected, with one sentence from you and one sentence from me, we turned around everyone's emotions and thoughts.

  "Miss Ning, you're very clever and know where your value lies. You're also good at expanding and utilizing it." The voice was somewhat eerie, with an odd gaze.

  Su Mo sneered with a smile, "What, you think I shouldn't be doing this?"

  "No, Miss Ning is making me more and more curious. You're so clever, I believe the old master will like you even more." As he spoke, his tone carried a hint of reverence that was not easily noticeable.

  "Let them go." Su Mo Ruo stared straight at the middle-aged man in front of her, she didn't mind borrowing a stick to climb up, as long as she was given the opportunity.

  In such a situation, many things, she must borrow a pole to climb up, stick gold on her face or think that her value is very high, in order to save these people and achieve her goals, she will stop at nothing.

  The middle-aged man slightly furrowed his brow, glanced at Ning Shiying in front of him (in the eyes of the middle-aged man, Su Moruo disguised as Ning Shiying was Ning Shiying, so from now on, whenever the middle-aged man interacted with Su Moruo, I would use Ning Shiying as a substitute), and his eyes briefly swept to one side, where a subordinate stood. He then turned back to face Ning Shiying and nodded slightly, "Alright, but I hope Miss Ning can cooperate somewhat."

  "As long as you agree to this request of mine, I naturally won't have any problems." Ning Shi Yang nodded his head and spoke in a low voice.

  The middle-aged man waved his hand at his subordinates behind him, "Let them go."

  The people behind had no objection and made way for a path, indicating that the members of the Dragon Team should leave.

  "I hope your driver can still send them." This was also said by Ning Shi Yang.

  At this point, the middle-aged man did not hesitate at all. He nodded to several subordinates below him and said, "Send them away."

  "Yes"

  The car slowly drove out of Su Mo and Hao Gang's sight, a middle-aged man reminded Ning Shi Yang beside him, "Miss Ning, you should go in with us."

  Ning Shi Yang took a glance at Hao Gang, and they exchanged a smile before walking inside.

  Today, despite being in a desperate situation, she will not let go easily. These people must be buried here with the beautiful mountains and rivers today.

  Entering the living room, a group of people in black clothes rushed in, guarding each exit on all sides, with strict protection, probably not even a fly could fly in.

  He gazed coldly at the middle-aged man in front of him, inviting him to sit down on the sofa in the living room. Hao Gang stood by without sitting down, and he didn't force it either. It seemed that today's protagonist was indeed Su Mo Ruo.

  "Miss Ning, it's our fault to have invited you in such a way. However, we hope you can understand." The middle-aged man sat on the opposite sofa, with dense eye wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

  "Cut the nonsense. In your eyes, aren't we just lambs waiting to be slaughtered? Ning Shiyang's voice was icy cold as she stared at the middle-aged man in front of her."

  The middle-aged man didn't get angry, he just waved his hand, and after a while, a young woman came over with a tray in her hands and walked up to Su Mo Ruo's face, bringing her a cup of fruit tea.

  "I'm not thirsty." As she gazed at that cup of fruit tea, Su Mo's back suddenly felt a chill and her eyes also became sharper.

  Let Su Mo Ruo look at him like that, the middle-aged man was very calm and composed. "Sorry, Miss Ning, but please have this cup of tea instead."

  "Why do I have to drink this?" He looked around at the people with a cold gaze, then lowered his head and took another glance at the fruit tea in the cup. The orange-colored fruits floated on top, looking vibrant and tempting, making one want to take a sip.

  But this beautiful, irresistible fruit tea is like the stunningly gorgeous poppy flower - its exterior is lovely and alluring, but inside, it's actually one of the world's most toxic poisons that can pierce through the intestines; once ingested, there's no antidote.

  She glanced at Hao Gang beside her, and Su Mo felt that she hated herself for not having enough time in this life to give herself thick wings. She didn't expect to end up in Donghai again, repeating the trajectory of her past life, and experiencing these things, making her even lose the ability to resist.

  "We have a custom here, when we offer tea to our guests, the guest must drink it, otherwise, everyone will think that you don't like us, or even despise us, and look down on us, for the cup of tea offered to you." The middle-aged man's tone was full, his words loud and clear.

  "Why just offer one cup? You're making me feel like your tribe is only pretending to welcome me with tea, but actually doesn't want me here?" At this time, Hao Gang's loud and hard voice was laced with a hint of aggression as he sat down beside Ning Shi Yang, forcefully taking the fruit tea from him and staring straight at the middle-aged man in front of him.

  As soon as he heard this, the black-clad men around him immediately raised their guns and aimed at Hao Gang. In each pair of eyes, a cold and icy chill burst forth, as if the bullets would really grow eyes and directly penetrate into Hao Gang's body.

  But Hao Gang seemed to see the gaze of these people every day, and even more so for those who treated guns as if they were invisible, as if chatting and laughing with someone, holding this cup of fruit tea, just looking at each other like that.

  The guns around him didn't flinch, and pair after pair of eyes stared at Hao Gang with a fierce gaze.

  The atmosphere was tense, Su Mo's face was calm, but her slightly pale lips still betrayed the tension in her heart at this moment.

  She wasn't afraid, but she didn't want Hao Gang to die. In her past life, Hao Gang was a good big brother in Mu Qing's eyes, an absolutely reliable and trustworthy good big brother. Now, the reason why she was willing to get involved in this matter again was that she didn't want the tragedy of her past life to repeat itself, and to experience that heart-wrenching pain once more.
