Chapter 1026: Everything Going Wrong

Laoqi slowly opened his eyes, his expression looking somewhat dazed.

The moment he saw clearly that the person before him was Cai Xiaotang, his eyes lit up fiercely.

"Ma... Madam."

He had no strength at all in his body, and when he spoke, only wisps of breathy sound could escape.

"I'm here, I'm here!"

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly answered. Looking at his pale face and bloodless lips, her eye sockets couldn't help but turn red, and she held back with all her might to keep the tears from falling.

All along, it had been Laoqi who had the best relationship with her in the villa.

The person who had secretly come to give her a ring after receiving her call, and who could still banter with her a few times, seemed to be there just yesterday, yet now, he was covered in wounds, as if he would completely close his eyes the next second, his whole body radiating the message of death.

Even he was injured to this extent... then what about Li Xiao?

How is Li Xiao doing right now?

Cai Xiaotang dared not think about it in detail, but looking at Laoqi's current state, she dared not ask further.

Immediately after, she heard him speak intermittently: "Shura..."

Hearing him mention Li Xiao, almost everyone felt a jolt, holding their breath to listen to him continue.

"Cough..."

Laoqi panted heavily without stopping, coughed up another mouthful of blood, and only then continued: "Shura... is in... danger..."

It was as if he had used up his last bit of strength; his hand also lifted slightly, seemingly wanting to grab the Cai Xiaotang before him, but before he could touch her, his head tilted sharply, and he fell into a coma once again.

"Quick, send him to the Hospital! The Hospital!"

Cai Xiaotang was terrified, almost becoming incoherent.

As she spoke, she looked at Mu Liusu in panic: "Brother, what should we do? Laoqi said Li Xiao is in danger. Do you have any way to find where he is? If we can't find him, will something happen to him..."

Cai Xiaotang was flustered by her concern; seeing Laoqi's miserable state, she had already lost her composure.

Mu Liusu hurriedly comforted her: "Don't panic yet, I already have people looking..."

Halfway through his sentence, a flash of anxiety also crossed his eyes.

Li Xiao hadn't left a single clue behind; him looking for someone now was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

The smell of blood in the room lingered at the tip of her nose. Mu Liusu didn't want Cai Xiaotang to continue staying here. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Cai Xiaotang look as if she had suddenly thought of something, and she said excitedly.

"Right! Luo Wanwan! Brother! Yesterday, it was Lao Wu who followed Luo Wanwan out first! And then he never came back, and as it turned out, Li Xiao and the others went out too... Could it be related to Luo Wanwan! Let's go find her right now!"

Cai Xiaotang seemed to have grasped a key clue; a glimmer of light finally appeared in her eyes, and as she spoke, she was about to rush out the door.

Mu Liusu followed closely behind her. The moment they stepped out the door, he grabbed her arm directly.

"No need to look. I already had people check at the first opportunity; her whereabouts, for now, are the same—they can't be found." Mu Liusu said in a low voice, a dark light flashing rapidly across his eyes.

"Can't be found?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this, and the light that had finally lit up in her eyes dimmed rapidly.

Mu Liusu also remained silent, his brows tightly locked.

That woman named Luo Wanwan...

Ever since the incident with Linke last time, he had always felt that there was something not quite right about her.

So, the first time he had people investigate, he hadn't left her out.

However, she actually, just like Li Xiao and the others, left no trace to be found.

This matter definitely had something to do with her!

It was just that now... there wasn't a single valuable clue.

The only person who might know what happened, Laoqi, had also fallen into a coma, and it remained to be seen when he would wake up...

On the other side—inside the parking lot.

Luo Wanwan was wearing a gloomy face, listening to the report from her subordinate in front of her.

The next second—"Bang!"

The person who had been standing in front of her just a moment ago suddenly flew out, crashing directly into the wall opposite!

"Useless! You can even lose someone while chasing them!"

Luo Wanwan gritted her teeth as she looked at the incompetent subordinate, her face full of displeasure.

The subordinate quickly crawled up from the ground and hurriedly explained: "Sister Wan, actually, there's no need to worry. He was shot twice, had quite a few knife wounds, and fell into the river; he definitely can't survive! It's actually no different from being dead..."

"Hmph, did you see him die with your own eyes?"

Luo Wanwan asked back sharply.

The man lowered his head instantly, not daring to speak again.

After a two-second pause, Luo Wanwan asked again: "What about that woman? Didn't I tell you to bring her as well?"

Once these words were out, the person who had just spoken lowered his head even further and said in a low voice: "We did go over to grab her, but... when we arrived, there wasn't a single person in the villa..."

"No one?"

Luo Wanwan was suddenly stunned, and then a strong, fierce aura surged into her eyes instantly.

Heh...

Li Xiao was certainly worried about that bitch!

Could it be that he specifically had people protect her before leaving?

With two things going wrong in a row, Luo Wanwan took a deep breath and asked again: "What about the drug?"

"The drug..."

The man looked conflicted, wishing he could disappear on the spot.

After another two-second pause, he continued.

"Sister Wan, we are still trying to find a way for the drug. After all, it's something developed internally; there are no official results yet, and it's in a confidential stage. We could only manage to steal one pill, and... and the effect of the drug is not very stable yet. After taking it, it might take effect and clear previous memories, but it might also cause irreversible damage to the brain. Do you really want to give it to Shura..."

"Do you need to teach me how to do things?"

Luo Wanwan swept a glare at him, and the man immediately dared not say another word.

The air was silent for a moment.

After a long while—"I don't care about anything else, get the medicine for me as fast as possible. I must erase Li Xiao's memory, understand?"

Luo Wanwan suppressed her emotions and gave the order.

"Yes!"

The subordinate agreed immediately, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to run away without looking back.

Luo Wanwan stared at him as he walked away with a gloomy expression, then withdrew her gaze bitterly, her chest feeling heavy and stifled, suppressing a wave of resentment.

She hadn't intended to act so quickly!

Originally, she had planned to wait for the medicinal properties of that drug to stabilize, then find a way to use Cai Xiaotang to lure Li Xiao out, make him take it voluntarily, and leave with her.

But...

Everything had been forced to move forward.

If Lao Wu hadn't overheard that phone call, she wouldn't have been pushed to this point!

It was too late to say anything now...

However, it was fortunate that Li Xiao was already in her hands.

Next...

As long as she got that medicine, her plan would be complete.

Thinking this, Luo Wanwan whispered to another subordinate nearby, then turned and walked toward a closed garage in the distance.

Arriving in front of the garage door, she lightly pressed the key in her hand.

The large door slowly pulled upward.

The light from outside shone into the dim interior all at once.

At the edge of the garage, a figure was sitting against the wall.

Sensing the light source, he narrowed his eyes slightly but did not speak.

It was none other than Li Xiao.
