On the other side, Zhou Yang and others were taken into the room at the end of the corridor.
Almost the moment I stepped through the door, the strong smell of disinfectant rushed into my nose, but it still couldn't cover up the lingering smell of blood in the air.
Zhou Yang frowned in disgust.
Not far away, the two men who had led the way earlier started talking to each other.
"Manager Cai is such a jerk! He gave us such a short notice that we didn't even have time to prepare anything."
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Hurry up and keep him under guard. I'm going to the lab inside to see if the stuff is ready."
"Okay, Angkor."
As the two finished their conversation, the sound of a door closing was heard.
Zhou Yang took the opportunity to pull off the blindfold that was in the way, and with a naked choke, he finished off the man who had been ordered to stay.
"Brother Yang, Brother Jin, what should we do next?"
Su Rui and Zhang Jin, who heard the noise, also took off their blindfolds to discuss their actions.
Zhou Yang glanced at the man on the ground calmly, then bent down to pick up the lighter he had dropped.

Inside the greenhouse garden.
Sophie and Lin Miao walked along the cobblestone path, heading deeper into the cave.
Finally, in front of a white pavilion, I met a man wearing a black shirt and holding gardening shears.
"I never thought I would meet two such beautiful ladies in a small garden at the same time."
The man chuckled and greeted them, his every move exuding a gentle and refined elegance, but this did not affect Sophie's secret labeling of him as a "middle-aged greasy man."
She could tell with just her toes that this person was the damned one in power.
"Excuse me, sir, do you know where the exit is?"
Lin Miao didn't know the man's identity.
She just wanted to leave this dangerous place as quickly as possible, and the gentle face of the man in front of her instinctively made her trust him.
"Oh? The exit? You've only been shopping for a short while, so you're leaving now?"
The man shook his head with a hint of regret, and then with a "click", he neatly cut off the rose blooming on the branch.
"Sir, what are you doing..."
Lin Miao frowned in confusion, but saw the man bend down to pick up the rose on the ground, carefully stroking the delicate petals with his fingertips.
"Look, this flower is so beautiful. Do you know why it is so beautiful?"
The man asked sincerely.
Lin Miao casually guessed, "It should be used as fertilizer."
"That's right. Do you know what my fertilizer is made of? If you guess correctly, I'll tell you the exit."
There was a hint of smile in the man's clear voice.
Lin Miao immediately started brainstorming.
However, when she listed the ingredients of dozens of common fertilizers, the man shook his head and denied them all.
Until Sophie opened her lips and uttered two words lightly.
“Ashes.”
After he finished speaking, the man chuckled.
Lin Miao, who was standing by, was instantly frightened and her face turned pale. Only then did she realize the identity of the man in front of her.
"As expected of someone I've chosen, he's truly quite interesting."
The man's smile continued, and a glimmer of light reflected in his amber eyes.
The next moment, he stepped forward, raised his hand and pinned the delicate flower in his hand into Sophie's hair near her ear.
"Xiao Xi!"
Lin Miao was surprised at his strange movements and cried out in worry, but was knocked to the ground by Sophie's casual palm strike.
"Xiao Xi, you..."
Lin Miao was stunned by the sudden change.
She looked at the girl in front of her in disbelief, only to see her leaning over and leaning on the man's chest with a sweet smile.
