On the day of leaving, Meng Lu bought some food to take with him in case he got hungry on the road. However, he didn't expect that in just five minutes, the road would become so congested.
Since she couldn't walk on the road, she really wanted to take a flying car, but she was told that flying was prohibited. What happened?
Seeing that the long-distance flight was about to depart in an hour, she couldn't waste any time.
She rented a bicycle and pedaled forward, leaving her suitcases in the space.
The journey that was predicted to take forty minutes was completed by her in fifty minutes. There were still ten minutes left, which was just enough. She immediately ran towards the flying station, but why was there no one in front?
I can’t worry about all this anymore, maybe everyone has already left by bus!
"Hey, ma'am, something dangerous is happening inside. Please don't run in there anymore."
Meng Lu stopped and saw a soldier in combat uniform calling her with a loudspeaker in the distance.
She immediately found a cover to hide.
Suddenly he felt someone behind him, and he threw a punch, but was caught by Adrian.
"Why are you here?"
Hearing the other party's question, Meng Lu immediately recovered from his shock, "This is a flight station. Of course we have to leave. Otherwise, what else are we doing here? Killing people?"
Adrien released her wrist, "Yes, there's a murder going on inside."
Uh... she didn't expect that her casual remark would come true.
"What's going on?"
"Several thugs have already killed several people. We're negotiating and trying to divert the conversation while they're trying to infiltrate. It's unsafe. Go back quickly and leave in two days."
Meng Qi's first reaction was not to leave, but to see if anyone needed her help. After all, her mental power was there, and who around her could have a mental power stronger than hers?
"I have an idea, maybe we can try it."
Adrien suddenly had a bad feeling and frowned, "What?"
"Come closer." Meng Lu told him what he was thinking, but the other party refused immediately.
"No, it's too dangerous in there. Besides, your identity is there. If anything happens to you, I will be in trouble too. I don't want to be killed by you after just taking the position of mayor and not doing anything real. I will never agree to this."
"Hey, I'm sure you saw what was posted online. My mental strength is even stronger than yours. No one can hurt me. This is also a faster method. Do we have to wait until those soldiers find a way to sneak in? The longer we delay, the more dangerous the hostages inside will be."
Adrian also understood this, but he didn't dare to take the risk.
"If you hesitate any longer, you still won't be able to become the mayor until everyone inside dies." Meng Lu teased, but he was too hesitant. In such an urgent situation, how could he give others time to think? So she walked over without hesitation.
A soldier's warning came from a distance, telling them not to go any further. Adrian called from behind, asking her to come back quickly, saying that saving people was his job as mayor and had nothing to do with her.
Meng Lu pretended not to hear and walked towards the flight station hall.
She pushed open the door, and in an instant, a force sucked her in quickly. The door was closed again, and a cloth was hung inside, so no one from the outside could see what was going on inside.
"Hey, boss, another girl comes in. She's so pretty."
She was brought to the road by the force. When she heard a man talking, she immediately looked in the direction of the voice. She saw several short men looking at her with lustful eyes. A burly man was sitting on the counter in the distance.
"Brothers, once we complete the mission assigned to us, we will have countless money in the future, and we brothers will no longer have to live on the edge of a knife."
"Boss, the bombs have all been installed. Why don't you kill a few more? My hands are itching if I don't."
What a beast, he enjoys killing people.
As if Meng Qi's gaze was too disdainful, a short man asked, "Hey, take away that disdainful look of yours, or I'll dig your eyeballs out."
Meng Lu snorted coldly and slowly stood up. The survivors around him knelt on the ground, holding their heads and trembling with fear.
"You said you wanted to complete a mission. What mission? Can you tell me about it? Or maybe you can tell me who's behind this, so I can die with a clear conscience and know when to seek revenge on the real murderer."
"Why are you talking so much? It's not your turn to ask this question! Are you looking for death?"
"Brother, step back first."
It was the leader of the group who spoke. He walked over slowly, barefoot, and said, "You're quite brave, little beauty, to ask us such questions."
The other person's gaze was also lustful, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Do you have a partner? What kind of partner do you like? How about I support you?"
Meng Qi pretended to think seriously, "You look okay, but unfortunately you're not my type."
The leading man was originally gloating over how his strong appearance appealed to females! But after hearing the second half of the sentence, his face flushed with anger.
"My knife hasn't drunk any blood yet. I'll use your blood to nourish it later."
"Wait." Meng Lu stopped him from drawing his sword. "I told you, before you die, can you let me know who my real enemy is? Otherwise, I'll haunt you even after I become a ghost. I heard that people haunted by ghosts will suffer bad luck and will never make a fortune again."
For desperate people like them, no matter how much money they make, they might lose their lives one day, so they spend whatever they earn on each order, and will not take the next order until all the money is gone.
The reason they took this order was, of course, to make money. When they heard that they would not make much money if they were haunted by ghosts, they instantly lost to Meng Lu in momentum.
Seeing that it was working, Meng Qi continued to fool them, "As long as you tell me who's behind this, I'll go after him, and nothing will happen to you. Anyway, I'm just a skinny female, I can't beat you at all, and the ending is death, you might as well tell me."
"Brother, don't listen to this bitch. How come I haven't heard of such a thing?"
One of them questioned Meng Lu's words, but he remained calm. "I'm not from here, but that's how it is over here. We've known since childhood that if you kill someone, you have to bind them tightly, causing them to suffer from illness and excruciating pain. But this only works on the mastermind. Who among you is the mastermind?"
The leading man shuddered. This was the same story everywhere, and he felt a little frightened after hearing it.
"Tell me now, or I'll haunt you guys after I die."
After saying that, the leader moved closer to Meng Lu and said, "The old mayor is here to ask us out. If you want to pester him, go ahead and pester him!"
OK, the real murderer has been found.
Meng Lu looked at the people lying dead on the ground around him and vowed to bring the real murderer to justice. He would not let them die in vain while the murderer went unpunished.
