Chapter 1033: Arriving at the Same Time

"Okay..."

That man had long since obediently given up any thought of resistance; hearing this, he immediately agreed honestly, turned on the speakerphone, and dialed the number he had been in contact with.

The phone rang twice and was quickly answered.

Then, the impatient voice of a man came from the other end.

"Tsk, where are you guys? Didn't you say you'd be here soon!"

"I... we... ran into some trouble on the road, the car broke down..."

"..."

The man spoke stutteringly.

Before he could finish, the person on the other end cursed irritably: "Damn it, where did the car break down? I'll put in a request to come pick you up..."

"No need!"

The man hurriedly refused, then quickly added dismissively: "We've already identified the problem, we're fixing it now, it should be done soon..."

"Fine, then hurry up, don't drag your feet!"

The other party, as expected, did not suspect anything; appearing to have no desire to say more, he hung up the phone.

Only then did the man let out a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. He hurriedly looked at Mu Liusu and stuttered again: "I... I've done as you said, can you now..."

Mu Liusu did not respond, but glanced at the people beside him.

Xiao An immediately stepped forward, took out the medicine collected from the man earlier, and said in a deep voice: "Tell us everything about this medicine. Stick to the important points. If you dare to talk nonsense, don't bother keeping your tongue."

"Okay... I'll tell you... I'll tell you..."

The man wailed inwardly about how unlucky he was today and hurriedly spilled all the information regarding this type of drug.

Half an hour later—all preparations were finally complete.

Xiao An and Abai packed up the medicine, placed the weapons and small wiretapping devices they would need into a case, and got into the man's car together.

Cai Xiaotang, meanwhile, returned to Mu Liusu's car.

They arrived near the parking lot, at which point she planned to get out alone.

"Xiao Tang."

Mu Liusu stared at her, worried.

"Brother, don't worry."

Cai Xiaotang pulled her coat tighter around her, flashing a smile to reassure him.

Even though she didn't know what kind of danger lay ahead, for some reason, she didn't feel a shred of fear.

Taking one last look at Mu Liusu, she clenched her cuffs and walked toward the parking lot ahead, her steps firm.

Nothing would go wrong.

She believed the plan would definitely succeed!

Besides...

Her brother had also made a backup plan for her...

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, and seeing the entrance of the parking lot appear before her eyes, she slowly quickened her pace.

At the entrance to the parking lot, several men in black were looking around, seemingly standing guard.

As soon as they saw Cai Xiaotang walking toward them, they became alert almost instantly, one after another pulling out handguns and aiming them at her!

The leader was none other than the man Cai Xiaotang had seen in the car earlier, the one who had called to contact the outside world!

Her footsteps faltered, her gaze sweeping past the dark muzzles of the guns ahead, before she continued forward without looking aside.

The next second—"Vroom—"

The sound of a car engine suddenly rang out behind her!

An inconspicuous black sedan drove slowly toward them, causing the men ahead to become even more alert, all of them turning their guns in unison!

The leader, however, looked pleased and ordered: "The ones coming are our own people; you guys grab that woman first!"

"Yes."

The others immediately obeyed, walking straight toward Cai Xiaotang, grabbing her arms, and twisting them behind her back to restrain her.

Luo Wanwan's confidant walked over slowly and looked her up and down.

Then, he suddenly said with a tone of contempt: "Sister Wan was right after all. Once it involves Shura, you really did come yourself..."

Cai Xiaotang did not speak.

As the man spoke, the black car also came to a stop.

The car door opened, and two researchers wearing white lab coats and masks stepped out.

They were none other than Abai and Xiao An, who had disguised themselves.

Neither of them spoke, subconsciously looking in unison at Cai Xiaotang, who was already being held.

Luo Wanwan's confidant had not expected both parties to arrive together; his expression was unnatural for a moment before he asked: "Why did two people come? You guys..."

He looked hesitantly at the two people in front of him, not knowing which one was the person he had spoken to on the phone.

Abai took the initiative to step forward.

"He is my assistant. I couldn't get the medicine out by myself, so..."

He did not finish his sentence.

Luo Wanwan's confidant understood, however, and suddenly gave a light hum.

"So that's how it is. But the money we agreed on was for you alone. Since you brought someone else without permission, his share..."

"You don't need to worry about that."

Abai knew what he meant and took the initiative to cut in.

Only then did the other party show a satisfied smile.

If no extra money is needed, then everything is easy to discuss.

The voices of the few people were clearly transmitted to Mu Liusu's ears from the miniature bug on the edge of the case.

Immediately after—the man's voice came through again.

"Sister Wan has been waiting for a long time; before going in, we still need to search you first."

His tone carried a smile, but that smile sounded extremely fake.

Abai and Xiao An exchanged a glance and did not speak, seemingly tacitly consenting to the other party's actions.

The man gave a wink to the few subordinates around him, and immediately someone stepped forward to conduct a body search on the two of them.

Not even Cai Xiaotang was spared.

Cai Xiaotang exchanged a look with them without changing her expression, her face still wearing that indifferent look, as if she had already resigned herself to everything before her.

Very quickly, the simple inspection was finished.

All three of them breathed a slight sigh of relief.

They were not carrying anything on them.

No.

To be precise.

It was things they did not want to be easily discovered.

"Are you done? We are still in a hurry."

Abai feigned haste as he looked at his watch, his tone vaguely carrying some impatience.

The man, however, was unhurried and spoke again with a smile: "Isn't it not over yet? Your case... I haven't checked it yet. Since it's money in one hand and goods in the other, you should at least let us inspect the goods first, right?"

As he spoke, he reached out to snatch the case in Abai's hand, and it looked like he was about to touch it!

Abai stepped back directly and hid the case behind his back.

Almost in an instant, all the gun barrels were aimed squarely at him!

"Researcher Cheng, what are you doing?"

The man revealed his fake smile again.

"We just want to check it, after all... we have to confirm whether what is inside this case is really the medicine. I am also just doing things for others; if any problems arise, I won't be able to explain it, and we will all be in trouble. Why must you make things difficult for me?"

His expression took on a hint of a threat along with his tone.

As he spoke, he raised his hand to signal the people beside him to go and snatch the case.

The next second—"Are you sure you want to see?"
