At that mont, Song Nuan’s trembling hand touched sothing and she smashed it hard onto the man’s head.
"Bang—!" She hit the exact spot needed, and the man collapsed straight down.
Song Nuan watched the man fall, gasping heavily.
Her heart was still pounding wildly.
She couldn’t understand why the man stopped when she played the victim and acted pitiful.
Song Nuan knew how to exploit this, so she continued to act helpless, to gain sympathy.
She realized now that she shouldn’t have believed this man’s words.
Sotis people can’t change their nature. How they treat you initially is how they’ll always treat you, so don’t expect them to change.
...
Tang Si arrived here by tracking Song Nuan’s location.
He noticed changes in her location on the way, which is why he only found this place this morning.
The storage room door just opened.
He saw the man lying on the ground and the girl looking terrified.
As soon as the door opened, Song Nuan looked towards the entrance.
Against the light, Tang Si stood tall and upright.
Even in the dim light, Song Nuan recognized him instantly: "Brother-in-law!"
Tang Si frowned: "How did you end up here? Where’s your sister?"
"My sister?" Song Nuan’s eyes were red and she couldn’t process the sudden question: "Isn’t my sister working at the company?"
Tang Si frowned, instantly realizing he had been tricked.
Even if the last call was from Song Nuan, it didn’t prove anything.
It only showed that the hacker on the other side altered the information, trying to lead him here.
"We’ll discuss this later."
Tang Si noticed Gu Nanjiu passed out inside.
He knew this man. He had rescued Song Nuan in a previous incident in the club hallway.
He dispersed a group of street thugs.
Song Nuan explained her recent encounter with Gu Nanjiu, which is why she had knocked him out.
Gu Nanjiu still had fresh blood on his forehead.
Following a brief inquiry, the police officer who ca with Tang Si recorded the statent as evidence.
While leaving this shooting range.
Tang Si glanced at the door monitor and suddenly stopped.
He raised his wrist and took a quick look at the ti.
He told the officer accompanying him: "Take both of them back first, and I’ll return later."
"Okay." The officer was supporting Gu Nanjiu.
As Tang Si turned around, Gu Nanjiu, being supported, suddenly gave a sinister smile.
Tang Si suddenly turned his head, frowning.
He only saw the officer’s back supporting Gu Nanjiu.
...
Tang Si entered the control room and retrieved the shooting range monitors, sure enough.
He saw Song Yi’s silhouette.
The monitor showed she arrived after four in the morning.
She headed towards the back of the shooting range.
The back area was unknown and rarely visited; it was said to be restricted, only accessible to leaders.
Tang Si asked the manager if a woman had entered there, and the manager replied: "Indeed."
"But she was introduced by a leader, so she could enter, but you cannot."
"Without a search warrant, we cannot cooperate. Apologies, officer."
The manager’s tone was respectful and deferential.
Tang Si frowned, gave a slight nod, and said nothing.
He rose and stepped out of the place.
...
Ten minutes later.
Tang Si landed smoothly from the fence into the area called restricted.
Song Yi must be here.
The area, dense with trees, despite the glaring sun, there seed to be an eerie chill.
"Beep—" a sudden noise ca from sowhere followed by a chanical male voice: "Tang Si, I knew you’d co, and faster than I anticipated; I thought you’d only find this place tomorrow."
Tang Si’s gaze quickly fell on a corner speaker.
"You went to great lengths to lead here. Speak, what do you want?"
Just as he finished speaking, the vine-covered opening suddenly revealed itself.
"Co inside and I’ll tell you what I want."
"Is Song Yi with you?"
"Yes," the chanical voice said: "Without that woman, you wouldn’t have co."
"Oh, no, precisely, as a police officer, you’d co no matter who was here."
"Unfortunately, you two are the sa kind of people, both ant to die."
Tang Si frowned, analyzing the man’s words carefully.
If he could say these things, he must be their mutual enemy.
But how could he have a mutual enemy with Song Yi so soon after eting?
Thinking about this, he walked inside.
Inside, the decor was extrely luxurious.
The walls were lined with mirrors.
At the end, another door ca into view.
The door was glass; as Tang Si was about to speak, the door buzzed and a screen materialized.
On the screen.
A woman lay in a stark white room, the walls lit intensely, glaringly bright.
The bed was white, and the woman lay in its center.
Her eyes were tightly closed.
Her presence seed lifeless, surrounded by a deathly aura, as if she had stopped breathing.
Tang Si’s eyes darkened suddenly.
Just then, the screen was abruptly cut.
Tang Si: "What do you want?"
"I want you both to suffer," the man laughed wildly: "If you want to know who I am, co inside."
After he spoke, the door opened again.
As Tang Si took a step inside, the door clanged shut.
"Tang Si, oh Tang Si."
"Stay in here. Once I’m done with that woman, I’ll take care of you too."
"Did you think I’d let you et each other?"
"Such a naive thought."
The room suddenly plunged into darkness.
Tang Si lowered his eyes, disregarding the ongoing taunts, checking his phone for ti.
Trying to see if he could signal, but the display showed no signal.
The chanical voice persisted, provocatively challenging him.
Tang Si remained composed, lips tightly pursed, feeling the door handle, twisting it several tis.
"How could you possibly open it?"
As the chanical voice ceased.
"Bang—!" A gunshot rang out.
The door broke open with a shot.
Tang Si stepped out boldly, full of determination, abruptly stopping in his tracks as he saw ahead—
