Chapter 915: He Wants to See You Alone

The air was deathly quiet.

Almost no one had expected Li Xiao to be this furious.

It should be said that no one had ever seen him in such a state of rage before.

After a long while—

"I... I'm sorry..."

Luo Wanwan was truly a bit frightened, and it felt as if her heart had been heavily struck by something, stirring up countless feelings of resentment and anger.

Li Xiao had actually yelled at her...

For the sake of a Cai Xiaotang, had he actually cast aside the calmness and reason most essential to a leader of the Dark Gate!

What about his guilt toward her?

How could he speak to her in such a tone!

As Luo Wanwan thought this, she caught a glimpse of Laoqi and the others still watching, and her face immediately felt unable to hold its composure.

She then assumed a look of grievance as quickly as possible, pretending to explain in a fluster.

"I'm sorry, Li Xiao... I really had good intentions, wanting to rescue Xiao Tang quickly. I never thought they would fail... I... I just wanted to give you a surprise, to let you see a completely unharmed Xiao Tang suddenly appear..."

"Wanwan, what exactly is going on? Who did you send to rescue Xiao Tang? And how did you know her location?"

Lao Wu finally caught a hint of something and hurriedly asked.

Luo Wanwan, however, wore a look of wanting to say something but stopping, stammering and unable to speak.

The next second—

"There is no point in saying these things now, come with me immediately!"

Li Xiao turned abruptly and walked toward the direction of the main entrance without looking back, his eyes full of anxiety.

They had no time left.

Linke's side would surely relocate immediately!

They could only act according to the situation now and rescue Xiao Tang!

Li Xiao, with a gloomy face, took a few people out the door as fast as he could and contacted his subordinates who were still keeping watch over there.

"How is the situation over there?"

He asked in a deep voice.

Immediately, he heard his subordinate reply: "They are packing things up; it seems they want to move a portion of the items and intend to leave in a while..."

"Keep a close eye on them, we will be there soon."

Li Xiao dropped this sentence and hung up the earpiece, his expression still terrifyingly dark, his hands clenched tightly the whole time, his knuckles turning white.

"Shura... Wanwan... what exactly is her situation?"

Lao Wu, who was driving, finally couldn't help but cautiously ask the question weighing on his mind.

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for a moment, and the scene of Luo Wanwan apologizing just now surfaced in his mind, only making him feel even more irritable.

What exactly did Luo Wanwan want to do?

Since she also knew Linke's hiding place, why didn't she tell him!

With the strength of those people mentioned earlier, it was even more impossible for the entire group to have been wiped out!

Was it something she did deliberately... or was Linke's current strength beyond their expectations?

Or perhaps... she really wanted Xiao Tang to die...

Li Xiao closed his eyes abruptly, realizing his thoughts had begun to spiral in an uncontrollable direction, and hurriedly forced his mind to go blank, trying to regain his composure.

After a long while—

Discarding the thoughts that were unimportant at this moment, he looked out the window again and answered Lao Wu's question from earlier.

"What... Wanwan, she..."

Not expecting that Luo Wanwan actually carried a secret mission, Lao Wu's expression was one of disbelief.

He then muttered: "But why didn't she tell us? Could it be that we are already... no longer worthy of her trust?"

He had always been the one who treated Luo Wanwan the best, so his expression was inevitably somewhat complicated at this moment.

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for a moment, and he did not speak.

After a pause of several seconds, he said in a low voice: "Although I don't want to say it, it is very likely that she is no longer the Luo Wanwan you all knew before. Regardless of what mission she is carrying, everything on our side must be kept secret from her..."

"I understand."

Lao Wu responded in a heavy voice and said nothing more.

Li Xiao just watched the scenery flashing by outside the window, his heart tightly constricted.

Almost there...

They would arrive immediately...

No matter what, he had to rescue Xiao Tang today!

Even if it meant trading his own life for hers!

On the other side, inside the villa—

Cai Xiaotang was following behind Linke's right-hand man with a puzzled look on her face.

"Um... what are we going to do?"

She finally couldn't help but ask cautiously.

But the other party acted as if they hadn't heard, not responding with a single word, just continuing to walk forward.

Seeing this, Cai Xiaotang had no choice but to tuck her curiosity away.

Yet, she couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious in her heart.

What is going on...

Just a moment ago, she heard some commotion downstairs and thought it was Li Xiao coming to save her...

But not long after, that strange noise disappeared.

Now this person has inexplicably called her out of her room, saying Linke is looking for her?

Doesn't that guy usually just come directly to her room whenever he has something to say these past two days?

He even always deliberately says things about gouging out eyes and chopping off hands, and how to deal with Li Xiao.

Don't think she can't feel that he is doing it on purpose!

But in order to play the "resentful woman" to the end, she can only cooperate...

As Cai Xiaotang thought this, she realized she had already walked through the living room and arrived in front of a familiar staircase.

From here, going down only leads to one place.

That is the basement where she was previously imprisoned.

Cai Xiaotang's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, her expression instantly turning one of disbelief.

No way!

She hasn't provoked that fox-like man in the last two days, has she!

Is he going to throw her back into the basement?

"Go down."

The man beside her, who had been silent the entire way, finally spoke, his tone icy and devoid of any warmth.

"Didn't you say... it was your... boss looking for me?"

She didn't know how to address Linke, so she subconsciously chose a safe term.

The man paused slightly, and seeing that she seemed afraid to go down, he suddenly let out a scoff.

Only then did he speak again: "Sir is waiting for you downstairs."

"Downstairs?"

Cai Xiaotang was startled upon hearing this, and she cast a suspicious glance toward the direction of the basement.

Only then did she notice that the small door there seemed to really be open a crack.

Is that fox-like man inside?

Cai Xiaotang was somewhat doubtful, but it seemed she couldn't avoid going down under the current circumstances; she hesitated for two seconds before finally walking downstairs cautiously.

But the further down she went, the more she caught a whiff of something unusual in the air.

She subconsciously sniffed and couldn't help but frown.

This smell, why does it seem a bit like...

Blood?

The smell of blood!

Her footsteps stopped abruptly, her blood seeming to freeze in an instant, her body stiffening as she dared not move another half-step forward.

Under the dim light, that pitch-black crack in the door appeared exceptionally eerie.

It felt as if some monster would leap out from inside the next second and devour her until not even bones remained.

"Ngh..."

A man's faint, indistinct voice suddenly drifted out from the crack in the door.

It sounded somewhat hoarse, as if even emitting this soft groan had exhausted the last bit of his strength.

Cai Xiaotang's eyes widened abruptly; her reason told her that the man behind her was still watching and she should continue forward.

But her body instinctively did not want to move another half-step forward.

Her intuition told her that this room was very dangerous!

There must be something inside that she does not want to see!
