Chapter 1030: Stay, and You Are Not Allowed to Leave

The words "cannot find the terrain map" nailed Cai Xiaotang to the spot.

She stared blankly at Mu Liusu, seemingly still processing the specific meaning of these words.

Mu Liusu's brow also tightened, and he immediately ordered: "Then go check the newly planned contact points. Remember not to expose yourselves, be careful, but do it as quickly as possible."

"Yes."

The person on the other end hung up the phone directly.

The car returned to silence once again.

After a long while—"Brother, if there is no map, isn't it going to be difficult for you all to rescue people?"

"

Cai Xiaotang seemed to have finally found her voice, and the faint glimmer of hope that had finally ignited in her eyes gradually extinguished.

It was not just Li Xiao now.

If there were significant obstacles to the operation, even Mu Liusu could potentially get hurt.

This was the result she least wanted to see.

What on earth does Luo Wanwan want to do!

Cai Xiaotang's fists clenched bit by bit, and her lips were pressed into a thin line.

Immediately after, she heard: "With me here, don't overthink it for now, lest you scare yourself."

Mu Liusu seemed to be comforting her, yet his gaze remained fixed on the window as he continued to explain.

"Since Luo Wanwan chose such a place and sent people to guard it, it means Li Xiao and the others should be under detention; at the very least, there is no immediate danger to their lives, or perhaps... her goal has not yet been reached. In any case, we still have time."

"Mm..." Cai Xiaotang nodded gently, feeling slightly comforted by Mu Liusu's words.

However, the people sent to investigate had not sent back any news for a long time.

Cai Xiaotang did not dare to urge them and could only wait anxiously, knowing that the "contact points" they had mentioned earlier were certainly not easy things to investigate.

One hour later, finally—Mu Liusu's phone suddenly rang again!

Cai Xiaotang instantly snapped back to reality and looked over immediately.

Following that, she heard him answer the phone, and that familiar voice from before sounded once more.

"Shadow Killer, we found it. As expected, the contact point is this parking lot. We also obtained the terrain map. There are four exits in total, and there is also a hidden escape door. I am sending it to you now."

As soon as his voice fell, a message popped up on Mu Liusu's screen.

"Mm, well done."

Mu Liusu tapped it open quickly, glanced at the map that popped up on the screen, gave a few more instructions, and then ordered: "Take people to ambush all the exits. Pay attention to concealment. Once they prepare to transfer, take them down immediately."

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

"Brother, what should we do next?"

Cai Xiaotang looked at Mu Liusu expectantly, waiting for his next command.

"Next..."

Mu Liusu's gaze flickered for a moment as he looked at the floor plan displayed on his phone, thinking rapidly.

He still did not know what exactly Luo Wanwan's goal was.

Although he had already deployed people outside, he could not just wait for them to come out like this.

He still had to find a way to take the initiative...

But to sneak in without a sound was almost impossible.

Or perhaps... just waiting like this might eventually present an opportunity.

But in that case, the resulting conflict and casualties would be unpredictable.

Mu Liusu remained silent.

Cai Xiaotang also softened her breathing, forcibly suppressing the emotions in her heart, not wanting to disturb his thinking.

Just at this moment—Mu Liusu's phone suddenly rang again!

This was already the third call.

He instantly snapped back to reality and answered hurriedly, still not avoiding Cai Xiaotang, but instead turning on the speakerphone.

Immediately after, he heard—"Shadow! We detected vehicles passing by, heading toward your location. It is very likely that they are going to that parking lot!"

"How far have they gone?"

Mu Liusu asked hurriedly.

The other party replied: "They just passed our checkpoint; it should take another ten minutes to arrive. There are still three of our hidden sentries in between..."

"Intercept them!"

Mu Liusu made a prompt decision without the slightest hesitation.

Cai Xiaotang was startled by him and asked subconsciously: "What if it's just a normal passing car..."

"This section of the road has been abandoned; basically, no cars pass through here."

Mu Liusu gave the answer without waiting for her to finish asking.

He then ordered the person on the other end of the phone: "Notify the next team, they must intercept them!"

"Yes!"

The other party agreed readily.

Hanging up the phone, Mu Liusu quickly glanced at the parking lot in the distance and said to the person driving in front: "Go to where they are."

He could be almost certain that the car driving this way was definitely not any ordinary vehicle.

The car started immediately and turned back in the direction they had come from.

After only a few minutes, Cai Xiaotang saw a car parked far away on the side of the road, and a person was being surrounded by several others, squatting on the side of the road with their head in their hands.

She was actually wearing a white coat, looking as if she had come from a Hospital.

"Sshhh—"

Mu Liusu's car pulled up alongside the vehicle that had been intercepted and forced to a stop.

The car door opened, and his subordinates immediately crowded around, reporting in low voices: "Shadow, this person is from the Research Institute. There is a case in the car, but no matter how we ask, he only says he is just passing by and knows nothing, nor did he recognize our identities."

"The Research Institute?"

Cai Xiaotang repeated, and as soon as the words left her lips, she received a warning glance from Mu Liusu and hurriedly shut her mouth.

Mu Liusu then nodded to signal he understood, and then casually closed the car door.

Seeing this, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly asked in a low voice again: "Brother, what does the Research Institute research? Is it the kind of research institute I'm thinking of?"

"More or less."

Mu Liusu glanced nonchalantly out the window, a flash of cold light quickly passing through his eyes.

"The Research Institute just sounds nice; it is a private research organization secretly cultivated by those people above. They are mainly responsible for producing various types of new drugs, and as for their effects... they are every kind of use you can imagine."

"

"Drugs? So he came here to..."

Cai Xiaotang murmured, and as she spoke, her heart suddenly gave a violent jolt, and countless movie plots she had once watched flashed through her mind in an instant.

A mysterious organization, plus drugs with unknown effects.

Things like truth serums, hallucinogens, and all kinds of poisons...

Could it be that Luo Wanwan wants to take revenge on Li Xiao and use him for some kind of human experimentation!!!

"No! He must be lying! He definitely has a purpose for coming here! I'm going to go ask him clearly!"

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she suddenly moved to open the door and get out of the car.

"Wait a second!"

Mu Liusu grabbed her with quick eyes and fast hands, his expression somewhat warning.

"You aren't needed here yet; have you forgotten what you promised me when we came?"

With that one sentence, Cai Xiaotang instantly pulled her hand back obediently, though her expression was filled with unwillingness and anxiety.

Mu Liusu sighed helplessly in his heart.

"Rest assured."

He opened the car door and walked toward the outside of the car.

"No matter what he came here to do, he won't be leaving."
