Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Deep into the Den!
Lu Xiao couldn’t care less; he hastily withdrew his gaze and rapidly left, gripping the mask in his hand unconsciously tighter.
In his mind, her image emerged.
Wen Xian simply stared at Lu Xiao’s swiftly departing figure, her heart tightly suspended the whole time.
Every nerve was taut.
It was almost uncontrollable, the worry for him, while at the same time, a complex feeling indescribable in words arose from the bottom of her heart.
In this prosperous and peaceful era, everything seemed stable.
But all of that was just a facade.
These tourists, like her, thoroughly enjoyed the motherland’s splendid landscapes, lived in comfort and ease, their lives rich and vibrant.
Yet they had no idea that in places unknown to them, how many people were shouldering the burden and pressing on for their sake!
After his figure had completely vanished into the crowd, Wen Xian suddenly turned around, hurriedly paid the bill.
The next second, without knowing what decision she had made, she resolutely chased in the direction he had left.
Leaving the bustling tourist district’s commercial street, the road leading to other places was lined with residential buildings on both sides.
This area was very mixed, with many tourists and outsiders, and many who were not locals. All sorts of people could be found here, making it also a hotbed for criminals to arise.
A man in grey clothes suddenly received a phone call as he was passing through the noisy area.
He quickly answered, and then a voice came from the phone, somewhat sinister and hoarse:
“Are you sure no one has followed you?”
The man in grey got a bit angry upon hearing this, “Are you doubting me? I shook them off clean yesterday! I drove over a hundred kilometers, where the hell could they catch up to me!”
Something else was said on the line, and his anger subsided somewhat. Still, he turned around to check if there were any suspicious people nearby.
Masks from the Tibetan Area are very famous, and many tourists buy them as souvenirs, wearing them on the streets for fun. He turned his head to scan if there were any suspicious characters, his gaze lingering for a few seconds on a few tourists in a travel group.
They were wearing those masks, a few women surrounding a tall man, chatting and laughing about something. After a quick scan with no anomalies found, he turned away and said, “No one’s here. Now tell me your exact location!”
And just after he left, a man in the tourist group took off his mask, while two young girls surrounded him, asking for his WeChat.
The man just left without turning back,
Ten minutes later, Lu Xiao followed that man to the vicinity of a residential building.
Hiding in the shadows, he began to notify his people who were waiting in the area.
Once they confirmed their hideout, they could capture them all in one fell swoop!
After notifying, Lu Xiao watched the man disappear into the residential building, then he looked up, observing the floors above…!
The first floor was a garage, people were hanging clothes on the second and fourth floors, complete with children’s garments, and sounds of an old man clearing his throat came from about the third floor. Finally, there was only the fifth floor, and sixth floor…!
All was quiet, not a single sound.
Lu Xiao retracted his gaze, he spotted an elderly lady selling clothes at a small stall nearby.
When he reappeared at the bottom of the building, he was wearing a black leather jacket and sunglasses, with a gold chain hanging around his neck, his short hair combed back to reveal his forehead, and that bright scar…!
Almost in an instant, he had completely changed his appearance from head to toe.
Even his whole demeanor had changed; he had a cigarette in his mouth, the flame highlighting the scar on his brow, adding an indescribable gangster edge to his rugged and handsome features.
He walked toward the residential building with smoke billowing from his mouth—!
