Chapter 1020: It Really Was Her

No one dared to drive too fast, simply following closely behind the lead car.

Inside the car—

Lao Si watched the red dot on the computer screen getting closer and closer, holding his breath.

"Almost there, just one more turn, keep driving forward!"

He prompted Lao San from the back.

Just as he finished speaking—

Lights suddenly flashed on outside the car with a "swish," as if they had been prepared specifically for them!

In an instant, everyone entered a state of high alert.

Lao San even slammed on the brakes and reached out to grab his gun.

Yet, it was quiet all around, and nothing happened.

The few of them waited for a few seconds, their expressions inevitably turning hesitant.

After a long while—

"Continue."

Li Xiao said in a low voice.

Lao San didn't speak, restarted the car, and continued driving forward.

The turn was already right before their eyes.

The atmosphere inside the car became increasingly heavy, almost suffocating.

Not until they had completely rounded the corner and saw the situation ahead did everyone's eyes widen in an instant!

"Lao Wu!!!"

Laoqi was so excited he nearly stood up, looking ahead with a mix of shock and joy, letting out a sigh of relief.

They saw that on the ground ahead, Lao Wu was lying in the middle of the road, his hands tied behind his back, facing away from them, motionless; he appeared to have fainted.

Yet, from his appearance, he didn't seem to have suffered any external injuries or abuse.

"I'll go down!"

Lao Si, who had been worried the whole way, said this while scanning the surroundings, ready to get out of the car immediately.

"Wait!!!"

Laoqi hurriedly stopped him, looking back at the cars following behind.

Altogether, there were more than twenty of them.

The current situation clearly wasn't right.

If there were any sudden developments... there was no telling what might happen.

But...

If they didn't go down, the other party presumably wouldn't show themselves.

Otherwise, why would they have dumped Lao Wu here?

But...

"Is it just Lao Wu?"

He asked, puzzled.

No one spoke, all subconsciously looking at Li Xiao.

The parking lot was also quiet, and it seemed there was no one else besides them.

Finally—

"Bring Lao Wu back."

Li Xiao spoke in a low voice, his eyes filled with coldness.

A hypothesis had already formed in his mind.

Lao Wu's strength was not weak; it was impossible for an ordinary person to take him down.

But if it were her, using Lao Wu's trust, then it would be... effortless.

But why?

Why would she...

The car slowly drove forward.

To prevent a sudden ambush, Lao San adjusted the car's position to block the side of Lao Wu.

On the other side was a wall.

Only then did he hurriedly open the car door and jump straight out.

"Lao Wu..."

As he spoke, he bent down quickly, wanting to untie the rope on his hands first.

But the moment he touched him, his expression stiffened abruptly, his eyes widening in disbelief, as if his soul had been snatched away.

"What's wrong?"

Laoqi also jumped out of the car, and seeing Lao San's strange expression, he immediately realized something and flipped Lao Wu over.

The next second—

Everyone froze in place.

The person on the ground had his eyes closed peacefully, his body already stiff.

There was no look of pain on his face; he looked as if he were asleep.

Only his lips were an unnatural shade of blue.

"It's poison..."

Li Xiao gritted his teeth and spat out three words; the coldness around his body almost froze the air, and the blood in his entire body seemed to rush straight to his brain in an instant!

Why...

How could it be...

If it were her, how could she possibly lay such a hand on Lao Wu?

But if it wasn't her, who else could it be?

And where had she gone?

"Bring him up first."

Lao Si forcibly suppressed his anger, maintaining the last shred of his reason as he spoke to remind them.

The situation here was not yet clear, and no one knew what was going on.

It was better to take Lao Wu and leave first.

Lao San did not speak, still trying his best to suppress his own anger.

Laoqi's expression was tense, his fingertips trembling; he took a deep breath for a few seconds before bending down, wanting to help Lao Wu up.

"Who did this! Get out here, you bastard!!!"

A roar from Lao San suddenly erupted within the empty parking garage.

His eyes were bloodshot, and with a "bang," he punched the car body directly, his face wearing an expression that looked almost murderous.

But there was only an echo in the empty underground space.

The atmosphere was oppressive to the extreme.

The next second—

"It was me."

A woman's voice suddenly rang out!

Hearing this reply, almost everyone was stunned for a moment.

Li Xiao's gaze darkened abruptly, and countless chills gathered in the depths of his eyes in an instant.

This voice was one that everyone could not be more familiar with.

It was Luo Wanwan.

The same Luo Wanwan who had been joking with everyone just yesterday.

Lao San and Laoqi were both frozen in place.

Immediately after—

Countless footsteps sounded all around, sounding like nearly dozens of people, instantly surrounding the few cars!

"Wan..."

Lao San stood blankly in place, watching as Luo Wanwan bypassed the vehicles and appeared before them.

Her face no longer held that gentle expression, but instead only coldness.

"Why..."

Laoqi looked at her in disbelief, his face full of shock and confusion.

Luo Wanwan, however, ignored them and simply looked at the open car door, saying indifferently: "Li Xiao, get out of the car; you have no room left to resist."

Her voice had just fallen—

Li Xiao and Lao Si walked down from the car.

The surroundings were already full of people brought by Luo Wanwan.

Li Xiao swept his gaze around indifferently, finally meeting the gaze Luo Wanwan cast toward him.

"Why?"

He said the same three words as Lao San, nothing more.

This time, Luo Wanwan did not avoid answering, but instead gave a bitter smile: "I have my reasons, Li Xiao. As long as you cooperate, I guarantee I won't..."

"Does your word still have any credibility?"

Li Xiao interrupted her.

Upon hearing this, Luo Wanwan was startled, and a flash of bitterness instantly crossed her eyes.

Immediately after, it turned into determination.

"Ha..."

She suddenly let out a laugh, then raised her gun directly!

The next second—

The people beside her also raised their guns in unison!

Following that, there were several "clack-clack" sounds!

The people Li Xiao brought also all walked down from the cars, holding weapons in their hands as well!

The two groups pointed at each other, seemingly waiting for a single order.

"Yes, you're right, I no longer have any credibility."

Luo Wanwan spoke again, her eyes filled with nothing but madness.

"So... you only have the choice to obediently listen to me and come with me, otherwise..."

Luo Wanwan did not continue, but the threatening tone in her words was already very obvious.

"Go with a traitor like you, and then end up like Lao Wu?"

Lao San gritted his teeth and questioned her.

"Traitor..."

Luo Wanwan let out a cold snort.

Immediately, her expression turned abruptly vicious.

Following closely—

"What do you know!!"

Her shrill roar rang out, accompanied by the sound of a gunshot.

Luo Wanwan had actually pulled the trigger directly at Lao San!!!
