"Did something happen to Lan's confidant?" Mou Xuan stood up suddenly, a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Lan is Chen's confidant. If something happens to him, it means that Chen's power has become desperate.
"Where? Where is he now?"
"I don't know his exact location. I only know that he was last seen near the abandoned factory in the west of the city." Informant Mo's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was deliberately lowering the volume so that people couldn't hear his true emotions.
"The abandoned factory in the west of the city..." Mou Xuan muttered to himself, and the desolate scene emerged in his mind. The dilapidated factory building and the rusty iron gate looked particularly eerie and terrifying in the dim light.
He had a strong premonition that the disappearance of Lan's confidant was definitely related to his partner Chen.
"Damn it!" Mou Xuan slammed the table hard, and the water cup on the table began to vibrate.
He must find Lan's confidant as soon as possible, not only to obtain more information about Chen's partner's conspiracy, but also to prevent an innocent person from becoming a victim of this power struggle.
He grabbed his coat and said to Chen Yao, “Yaoyao, I have to go out for something. You stay in the safe house and don’t go anywhere.”
Chen Yao looked at him worriedly, her eyes full of anxiety: "Where are you going? Is it dangerous?"
"It's okay, I'll be back soon." Mou Xuan forced a calm smile, trying his best not to let Chen Yao see his worry.
He couldn't let Chen Yao take risks with him, the safe house was the safest place for her.
He pushed open the door of the safe house and a gust of cold wind blew in his face, making him shiver.
Night has fallen, and in the dim sky, a few sparse stars are twinkling faintly, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.
In the abandoned factory in the west of the city, the air is filled with a pungent smell of rust, which is nauseating.
Mou Xuan approached the factory cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution.
Suddenly, several dark shadows emerged from the darkness and surrounded him.
"Hey, isn't this Young Master Mou? What are you doing here so late?" The leading man said sarcastically with a playful smile on his face.
Mou Xuan recognized them at a glance. These people were all Chen's men. They were all ferocious and looked like they were not good people.
"Get out of the way. My business has nothing to do with you."
"Unrelated? Haha, our boss said you can't go in." The man said in a tough tone, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
Mou Xuan sneered in his heart, thinking that his partner Chen was determined to stop him from finding Lan's confidant.
"It seems that you don't want to have a good talk."
The air was filled with gunpowder and a conflict was about to break out.
At this time, Mou Xuan suddenly noticed that there were some familiar faces among these blockers...
"Wait, you..."
Mou Xuan's eyes swept over the ferocious-looking guys in front of him, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
"Wait, you...and you, you guys..." He pointed at several of the figures, his voice trembling with disbelief.
"You...actually followed him?"
The few people who were named obviously shrank back, their eyes flickered, and they didn't dare to look directly at Mou Xuan.
Once upon a time, they went through life and death together, shared food together, fought against zombies together, and were as close to each other as brothers.
Now, he stood on the opposite side of him and became Chen's partner's minion.
"Ah Xuan, a man of insight is a wise man. Now the boss is the most powerful. Only by following him can we survive!" One of them said bravely, but his tone revealed guilt.
"Haha, survive?" Mou Xuan laughed at himself, his laughter full of bitterness.
"In order to survive, can you betray your friends and brothers?" The air around him seemed to freeze, and the heavy atmosphere made it hard for him to breathe.
The feeling of betrayal is more painful than death.
"Stop talking nonsense! You can't get in today!" The leading man waved his hand impatiently, signaling his men to take action.
"Want to stop me? That's wishful thinking!" Mou Xuan sneered, and everything around him seemed to slow down, like a slow-motion shot in a movie.
He clearly saw everyone's movements and everyone's expressions.
This is his time ability, which allows him to temporarily change the flow of time.
I saw his figure flash by and move among the crowd like a ghost.
"Bang!" "Ah!" "Ouch!" A few muffled groans and screams were heard. Before those who tried to stop them could react, they were knocked to the ground by Mou Xuan, holding their stomachs or heads and wailing.
"That's it?" Mou Xuan clapped his hands with a look of disdain.
"How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert?" He even had the leisure to straighten his messed up collar, his movements were effortless and natural.
Looking at those people in panic, Mou Xuan felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart.
The anger of being betrayed was somewhat released at this moment.
He took a deep breath and walked deeper into the abandoned factory.
His footsteps echoed in the dim corridor, steady and powerful.
Suddenly, a faint groan came from the end of the corridor...
"Who is it...save me..."
Mou Xuan followed the faint groaning sound, walked through a corridor full of debris, and finally found Lan's confidant in the room at the end.
He fell to the ground, covered in blood, dying.
"Lan's confidant!" Mou Xuan hurried forward to check his injuries, but found that he had also been ambushed.
"Damn it!" A steel bar flew out from the darkness, brushing past his arm and leaving a deep blood mark.
