Chapter 72: Doubts, The Malevolent Boy

  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.

  In this cold and solemn atmosphere, Su Mo's tightly furrowed eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and he burst out laughing, completely devoid of his previous stern expression. He waved his hand at the woman beside him, his words laced with a hint of reprimand and discontent, "How can you be so clueless? Didn't you see we have a guest here?" He then turned to Hao Gang and smiled, "Sorry, Captain Hao, it's just that since you were standing, our people thought you were the bodyguard for our esteemed guest, Miss Ning. Please forgive us."

  This clearly told Hao Gang that it was not that our people didn't know manners, but you were standing there, and our subordinates naturally thought you were a bodyguard. Where is it possible for someone to offer tea to a bodyguard? This is definitely impossible. So, although the words were apologetic, they had no intention of apologizing at all.

  Hearing this, Hao Gang raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Hehe, no big deal, I'll just have another cup for Miss Ning. This one, I'm just too thirsty, I'm sure you won't blame me for drinking Miss Ning's tea, right?" After saying that, he was about to down the cup in one gulp.

  Sumo suddenly felt uncomfortable and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, his face clearly looking unpleasant.

  Hao Gang looked at the outstretched pale palm, looking at the bulging blue veins on the back of the hand, and the fine blood vessels that entered his eyes. He raised his eyes to look at Su Mo Ruo. From the first time he met this girl, he felt her difference. However, he always knew what he was doing, and he also knew that coming to school was to execute a task, not to make friends. Moreover, people in their line of work couldn't have any friends; they only had teammates, and teammates were the only friends worth paying for. So, although he was interested in Su Mo Ruo, a girl who liked morning exercises as much as he did, he never said a word to her. But today's Ning Shi Yang incident tied them together on the same boat.

  Looking at the fruit tea in the cup, today this cup of fruit tea must be drunk by someone, otherwise these people will not relax their vigilance. If Su Mo Ruo lets them discover her identity and knows that she is a disguise and not the real Ning Shi Yang, then those teammates who left not long ago and Ning Shi Yang disguised as a driver will definitely let these people discover. And Su Mo Ruo is more likely to lose his life because of this. She was originally not his subordinate, not a teammate of the Dragon Team. Today, she can stand up and it's already difficult to be precious, but now, what makes her lose her life for their mission?

  A middle-aged man's voice interrupted at this time, smiling at the two people, "You two don't have to fight, we will naturally bring that cup of tea for Captain Hao later. However, this cup of tea is really meant for Miss Ning to drink, after all, fruit tea is a girl's favorite, haha! Captain Hao, you're a big man, aren't you ashamed to drink something meant for women and compete with a woman for a cup of tea?"

  But who would have thought that Hao Gang had also learned to be flexible at this time, and he raised his eyes to smile at the middle-aged man. "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, actually I love drinking the fruit tea that you said women like to drink, but in our place, it's not just for women."

  Let Hao Gang break his own words again and again, the middle-aged man's face looked a bit ugly, looking at Hao Gang's eyes, it seemed a bit sharp. At this time, the little sister who served tea also brought another cup of tea, which was an extreme product of Mao Feng, with a greenish-yellow color that made people drool.

  "Captain Hao, please." The middle-aged man stared at the two of them with his eyes fixed on them, as if he knew that Hao Gang was about to speak again, and directly cut off all his words with one sentence. "The people on our side have some strange habits. Whoever is given tea should be the one to drink it, which shows more courtesy."

  Su Mo took a glance at the fruit tea in Hao Gang's hand, and when he was off guard, she directly snatched it over and put it back in her own hands, sitting on the single-person sofa on the other side, creating some distance between them. She raised her head with an ambiguous smile, looking at the middle-aged man, "This cup of tea has caused you so much trouble, but do you know how precious this tea really is?"

  "Miss Ning drank it and knew."

  Glanced around, then lowered his head and took another look at the orange-colored soup, sneered, pursed his lips, and slightly puckered.

  Hao Gang looked at Su Mo Ruo's actions, his face suddenly becoming difficult to look at. He took a few steps forward and snatched the fruit tea from Su Mo Ruo's hand. Unable to bear it any longer, he confronted the middle-aged man, "Tell me, what exactly is inside?"

  "There's nothing, just to confirm whether Miss Ning is indeed Miss Ning." The middle-aged man stood up, not minding at all the tone of Hao Gang's speech. He waved his hand and let the bodyguards around him put away their weapons. He smiled naturally at Hao Gang, but what he said made both Hao Gang and Su Mo Ruo shocked.

  They actually knew that the Ning Shi Yang in front of them was not the real Ning Shi Yang.

  Su Mo was even more shocked, having always thought that his skill in imitating people's movements and voices was flawless, yet he hadn't expected the other party to see through it. The fact that they offered him tea should also be because they were uncertain whether he really wasn't Ning Shi Yang, but in his heart, he was suspicious - could it be that there was something strange about that cup of tea?

  She had seen that the other party had such strange tracking skills and techniques, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with this fruit tea.

  "Tell me, what is it that you want to get?" Seeing the other person's gaze become interesting, Su Mo Ruo, who had always disliked being looked at with such a gaze, also dropped his disguise. Even the voice that was originally Ning Shi Yang's had changed.

  The middle-aged man listened, a very satisfied smile appeared on his face, but he didn't speak, only slightly turned his body and said towards the door: "Young Master, I don't know if you would be satisfied with someone else?"

  "He looks pretty good." A tall and slender figure, wearing a white dress shirt with black casual pants, and a pair of high-quality black leather shoes on his feet. His chestnut-colored short hair framed a very handsome face, to the point where he could be mistaken for a girl. He had a gentle and approachable face, full of sunshine, and when his eyes looked at Su Mo who was dressed as Ning Shi Yang, they were surprisingly filled with warmth. His tone was clear and elegant, making people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

  Su Mo and Hao Gang both looked at the man who suddenly walked in, both of them were very sensitive to notice that because this handsome sunny man appeared, the bodyguards around him instantly retracted their auras, slightly bowed their heads, showing their jealousy and respect for the man, even the middle-aged man slightly bowed his head, showing full respect. "As long as the young master is satisfied."

  "Recently, you've been troubling yourself a lot." The man smiled elegantly, looking at the middle-aged man, taking a step closer, straightening the middle-aged man's body, and curving his mouth into a sunny smile. His facial features were soft, and under the light, the man's eyes were particularly captivating and handsome.

  "It's a blessing for us subordinates to be able to relieve the young master's worries." The middle-aged man listened to Yang Guang's words, his face showing surprise and gratitude, his eyes looking at Su Mo Ruo, then quickly shifting his gaze, his body slightly bowing, his voice very low.

  Watching the two of them standing there talking in riddles, speaking words that neither Su Mo nor Hao Gang could understand, both of their eyebrows furrowed deeply.

  It seemed as if the young man had seen Su Mo's dissatisfaction, and his gaze fell on Su Mo. "May I see your true face?" Although it was a very polite inquiry, the tone was absolutely firm and did not allow for refusal. A pair of eyes stared straight at Su Mo, giving her no chance to escape.

  "Who are you? Don't you know that what you're doing has already violated national law, restricting personal freedom and safety, this is a crime."

  It was as if he had heard some hilarious joke, that beautiful and demonic man, whose warm smile had just changed in an instant. A pair of fox-like beautiful eyes narrowed slightly towards Hao Gang, "The country's top special agent Dragon Squad's Captain Hao, for your words, it may be useful for ordinary people, but for me, it is absolutely useless."

  The man's voice was clear and calm, yet it did not make people doubt the credibility of his words at all.

  Hao Gang also sized up the man in front of him, who was as beautiful as a demon. Every move he made showed his affability, making people feel that this man was very approachable. Even his first impression of him was good. However, just now, his expression changed for a moment, which made Hao Gang realize that this man might not be as affable as they seemed on the surface. At least, being able to intimidate so many people who were obviously capable, it could be inferred that this man had some extraordinary abilities, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to command such respect from these people.

  "Don't be too arrogant, this land has always belonged to Country Z. You're being so reckless on Country Z's soil, do you really think you can take on the entire country?" But in his heart, he felt a sense of foreboding. These people didn't seem like easy ones to mess with. Suddenly, one of them walked closer to Su Mo and started talking about future opportunities, using the same tone as before when they were in the car.

  But when Su Mo Ruo understood Hao Gang's meaning, she didn't hesitate to refuse directly. She glanced at Hao Gang and looked up at the man in front of her who was smiling elegantly like a spring breeze. Her voice was icy cold, "Who are you people? You're being ambiguous and letting us continue talking with you, but we don't even know your identities. This seems...not quite right."

  "You'll know later." The voice was soft and gentle, unlike the sharp tone used when speaking to Hao Gang earlier. Because you drank that cup of tea, so for at least ten years, you can only be my woman. Of course, these words were only said in her heart, but not actually spoken out loud.

  She felt that the man's gaze was a bit strange, Su Mo Ruo moved her body and stood up, step by step, ignoring Hao Gang's stop, walked towards the man, "Say, what's wrong with that cup of fruit tea?" Her sixth sense was very strong, she always felt that there was something big wrong with that fruit tea.

  They exchanged a surprised glance at Su Mo Ruo. Although they had previously settled on Ning Shi Yang, after all, her bloodline was more orthodox. However, as this girl appeared by Ning Shi Yang's side, time and again destroying their chances and causing them to miss the opportunity to take Ning Shi Yang away, they began to notice her. Gradually, they discovered that this girl's bloodline was even more orthodox than Ning Shi Yang's. So, they changed their target on a whim and accelerated their pace, easily bringing Su Mo Ruo here.

  It turns out that all of this was just a ruse, making everyone think that Ning Shi Yang was the one they were looking for, but what they didn't realize was that these people had actually been led astray, letting Ning Shi Yang go and sending the person they really needed right to his doorstep.

  "Hey, take off that thing on your face. It's not good for your body." The man's elegant voice was laced with a hint of gentleness, and his eyes were filled with an indulgent gaze that made Su Mo Ruo feel like her skin was crawling all over the place, making her feel extremely uneasy.

  Hao Gang beside him also sensed that something was off, his eyes reddening as he grabbed Su Mo Ruo and glared at the other party, "What do you people mean?"

  He came to protect Ning Shi Yang, but now the person who is truly in danger has escaped. However, upon hearing this, why did he feel that Su Mo Ruo was the one they were really after? At this moment, a sense of foreboding rose up in his heart.
