Chapter 1019: Li Xiao Says, Wait for Me to Return

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for a moment, his knuckles tightening slightly.

For some reason, his intuition told him that this matter was not that simple.

But if they all went, leaving her alone at home...

A possibility flashed rapidly through Li Xiao's mind; his eyes darkened, and he suddenly had an idea.

Five minutes later—

The bedroom door was slowly pushed open from the outside.

"Whoosh."

A playing card flew over just right, hit Li Xiao, and then landed on the floor.

"What are you holding in your hand?"

Cai Xiaotang looked up instantly, saw Li Xiao walking in carrying a cup, and asked casually.

Li Xiao did not answer; he walked over and set the cup down, then said, "Didn't you just change to new coffee beans? So I specifically brewed a cup of coffee for you, want to try it?"

"Coffee at this hour? Do you not want me to sleep tonight?"

Cai Xiaotang was somewhat surprised, looking at the steaming cup, and subconsciously retorted.

Immediately after, she heard—

"At night... it's fine if you don't sleep; you have plenty of time to catch up on sleep during the day anyway..."

Li Xiao deliberately drew out his voice, his tone becoming somewhat ambiguous, as if hinting at something.

"Li Xiao!"

Cai Xiaotang naturally understood the hidden meaning in the Old Scoundrel's words. Hearing this, she immediately rolled her eyes at him in annoyance. Although she looked disgusted, she still picked up the cup and took a light sip.

"How is it? Does it taste okay? I added milk and sugar just the way you like it."

Li Xiao watched her drink it, a dark glint flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"Hmm... the taste is not bad. I didn't expect you to have this skill."

Cai Xiaotang nodded with satisfaction, and as she spoke, she took another sip.

"If it's good, drink a bit more. This is a one-time opportunity; after all, I don't have time to make coffee every day, and not just anyone can drink the coffee I make." As Li Xiao spoke, he deliberately wore a somewhat smug expression on his face.

"Tch... I never said I wanted to drink it every day..."

Cai Xiaotang fell for it, as expected. Upon hearing him say that, she retorted, but immediately took another large gulp.

"Alright, if you drink too much, you really won't be able to sleep."

Seeing that she had already drunk more than half the cup, Li Xiao hurriedly snatched it away and set it aside.

"Eh?"

Cai Xiaotang looked at him in confusion and retorted helplessly, "What is wrong with you? You were the one who said not just anyone can drink the coffee you brew. I only drank half and now it's going to get cold; don't you think that's a waste?"

"Do you really not want to sleep tonight?"

Li Xiao asked back, looking composed.

"Cough..."

Cai Xiaotang immediately fell silent, not saying another word.

Li Xiao calmly glanced at the wall clock, then casually picked up a playing card from the side with his fingertips.

"Come, let me check if you've made any progress."

"Of course I have!"

Cai Xiaotang said, immediately taking the card and demonstrating for Li Xiao.

A few minutes later—

She suddenly let out a big yawn, and tears hung at the corners of her eyes.

"Sleepy?"

Li Xiao took the card from her hand as he spoke.

"Mm..."

Cai Xiaotang nodded, and as she spoke, she yawned again.

In just a moment, her eyelids began to feel heavy.

"Strange... why am I suddenly so sleepy..."

She frowned in confusion and leaned against Li Xiao's shoulder, not noticing his dark, heavy gaze at that moment.

"If you're tired, just sleep for a while."

Li Xiao's voice was as gentle as ever. As he spoke, he let Cai Xiaotang lie down on the bed, then pulled the quilt from the side and covered her with it.

"Mm..."

Cai Xiaotang responded, her eyes already unable to stay open; she was too sleepy to even want to talk.

Why...

Why was she suddenly so sleepy?

Her head felt dizzy, and Cai Xiaotang had no time to think it over before she couldn't help but fall asleep.

The room gradually became quiet.

There was only the sound of Cai Xiaotang's steady breathing.

Li Xiao looked at her sleeping face, the corners of his lips curling into an arc.

Then, he suddenly took something off his neck and placed it beside Cai Xiaotang.

He then leaned over and planted a light kiss on her lips.

"Goodnight, I will be back soon."

He whispered softly, and after finishing, he stood up without hesitation and strode out of the room.

"Shura."

In the living room, Laoqi and the others were already fully prepared to set off.

"Mm, let's go."

Li Xiao responded, taking the lead as he walked toward the direction of the door.

The sky outside had already darkened.

The few of them quickly got into the car; Li Xiao took one last look at the direction of the villa, then suddenly thought of something, and still feeling uneasy, he took out his phone, quickly sent a message, and only then withdrew his gaze.

The car slowly started.

"Has the specific location been confirmed?"

Li Xiao asked in a deep voice.

"Mm, it has been confirmed."

Lao Si took out a computer from the side: "The final signal location is in an abandoned development zone. The area around the location is very open; I suspect it should be in a parking lot."

"Development zone..."

Li Xiao murmured these three words, his eyes filled with gloom.

Lao Wu would not go to such a place alone.

I wonder if Luo Wanwan is with him?

But the matter regarding Linke has already come to an end...

Currently, there shouldn't be anyone in the city capable of pulling this off, right?

Even if someone really had the guts, they might not necessarily have the strength...

Who on earth is it...

None of them spoke, all carrying the same questions in their minds as they rushed all the way to the location where the signal was last emitted.

It really was a parking lot!

The sky had turned completely pitch black.

The entrance to the parking lot was a dark void, without a glimmer of light, as if it wanted to swallow everyone who approached, never to let them out again.

Lao Si's fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, and while operating it, he said: "No bomb signals have been detected inside."

"Shura, should we drive straight in?"

Lao San, sitting in the driver's seat, also asked, and for some reason, his voice was trembling slightly.

Such an environment cast a layer of oppression and ominous premonition over everyone's hearts.

"Mm, go in."

Li Xiao replied in a deep voice, his hand already resting on the gun tucked at his waist.

He could be almost certain that there was an ambush inside.

But rashly sending people in would only be sending them to their deaths.

Since the other side chose to use Lao Wu as bait, they were coming for them.

Therefore, the only way was to come personally and meet this fierce battle head-on.

Now he only hoped that Lao Wu was alright...

Thinking this, Li Xiao slightly raised his hand.

The next second—

The blinding headlights shone straight into the deepest part of the garage!!!

Seeing this, the several cars behind them also immediately adjusted their direction and shone their lights inside!

In an instant, the dark entrance was more than half illuminated.

Yet the light could not reach the deepest part.

"Let's go."

Li Xiao issued the final order.

The several cars drove into the parking lot together.
