Chapter 258: Captured

Xu Le looked around, searching for objects or environmental advantages he could utilize.

His gaze fell upon the letter that had just been opened on the table; a thought stirred in Xu Le's heart, and a plan formed. He pretended to continue retreating, while actually quietly circling toward the table, simultaneously shouting aloud: "Wu Feng, let us join forces and hand this letter over to the authorities as evidence; we will surely be able to expose the conspiracy of the Red Lotus Sect!"

Upon hearing this, a flash of panic crossed the eyes of the dark figure; clearly, this letter was of vital importance to him. His offensive slowed as he attempted to prevent Xu Le from approaching the letter. But Wu Feng seized the opportunity to counterattack, a direct thrust forcing the dark figure to divide his attention to defend.

Xu Le seized the chance to snatch up the letter and quickly retreated to the window, shouting loudly: "If you dare to come any closer, I will burn this letter and ensure your conspiracy can never succeed!"

The dark figure's form paused, clearly stunned by Xu Le's action. He knew well the importance of this letter; once it fell into the hands of the authorities, it would bring great trouble to the Red Lotus Sect.

"You... you dare!" the dark figure shouted in anger, yet he dared not act rashly.

Xu Le sneered and held the letter high, making a show of intending to burn it. "What is there that I would not dare? For the sake of justice, I am willing to go through fire and water!"

The man in black suddenly stopped instead, laughing mockingly: "Are you trying to fool ghosts with a letter from the Golden Breath Pavilion?"

Seeing this, Wu Feng's expression changed drastically, knowing full well that this matter today would likely not end well, and he was just preparing to unleash his potential to fight with all his might,

when he saw another man in black suddenly burst in from outside the door, only to hear him say: "Enough, Mouse, stop playing around. One for each, take them down quickly!"

Xu Le was startled, thinking to himself, how could there be more people? What is this situation!

He had no time to think further and hurriedly turned his head to look at the newly arrived man in black. He saw that his eyes were cold, revealing an aura that made one's hair stand on end.

In his hand, he gripped an incomparably sharp blade that glinted with a cold light, chilling to the heart. He walked toward Xu Le step by step, each step carrying a cold, ruthless, and composed momentum.

Looking at Xu Le's eyes as if seeing a harmless little white rabbit.

At the same time, Wu Feng was confronting the previous man in black, the atmosphere between them tense to the extreme. Both sides were fully focused, ready at any moment to meet the other's attack.

Any conspiracy or trick is a joke in the face of absolute strength.

Soon, despite Wu Feng and Xu Le struggling and resisting with all their might, their efforts were still to no avail.

Those two men in black displayed powerful strength and technique, easily capturing Wu Feng and Xu Le. Their movements were swift and decisive, as if everything were under their control.

The resistance of Wu Feng and Xu Le appeared so feeble; they could not contend with the power of these two men in black. In the end, they could only helplessly be subdued and taken away by the men in black.

Facing this sudden turn of events, Xu Le and Wu Feng both felt unprecedented despair. They struggled with all their might, but helplessly, the strength of the men in black was too great, and their resistance appeared so feeble.

"Who exactly are you people?" Xu Le demanded loudly, eyes wide with rage. But the man in black only sneered without a word, clearly not intending to answer his question.

As the men in black pressed in step by step, Xu Le and Wu Feng were both firmly controlled. Their weapons were taken away, their bodies were bound, and they could only watch helplessly as they fell into the hands of the enemy.

Just at this moment, a sound came from outside the door again. Xu Le and Wu Feng felt a surge of joy, thinking that reinforcements had arrived, but then their hearts dimmed again. Because those who entered were not the government soldiers they had hoped for, but more men in black.

These men in black were clearly prepared in advance; they had a clear division of labor, some responsible for guarding Xu Le and Wu Feng, while others began to search the room. Clearly, they were not just here to capture these two people, but were looking for something important.

"It seems we really underestimated them," Wu Feng whispered to Xu Le, his tone filled with helplessness and unwillingness.

Xu Le remained silent; at this point, it was feared they had become embroiled in a massive mess, hoping only that they would be given a quick end when the time came.

It was a pity he had not yet started a family, nor had a thoughtful person to warm his bed.

Just at this moment, a man in black suddenly walked up in front of them, holding in his hand that piece of information Xu Le had bought at a high price from the Golden Breath Pavilion.

"What is your relationship with the Su Family? Do you know where Su Min is?" Xu Le's heart shook; could it be that these people were coming for that so-called Su Min?

He decided to probe first, "Su Min? I don't know any Su Min. This letter is information I bought from the Golden Breath Pavilion."

The man in black stared at Xu Le with sharp eyes, "It had better be that way. However, since this information was bought by you, you cannot stay out of it. Come with us for a trip." Having finished speaking, he signaled for the other men in black to take Xu Le and Wu Feng away.

Xu Le and Wu Feng were loaded onto a carriage, the atmosphere inside the carriage filled with tension. The two looked at each other in silence, their hearts filled with helplessness.

Just trying to make a name for oneself, how did it end up in such a mess?

After the carriage traveled for a distance, it finally stopped. Xu Le and Wu Feng were taken off the carriage; before them was a magnificent mansion.

"Where is this?" Xu Le could not help but ask.

The man in black gave a cold snort, "You will know when you get there." He led the two into the mansion and arrived at a spacious hall.

Sitting in the center of the hall was a middle-aged man; his expression was stern, possessing a natural authority. The man in black stood respectfully to the side and reported: "My Lord, the people have been brought."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Xu Le and Wu Feng, "Are you the ones who bought the information about the Su Family?"

Xu Le braced himself and replied: "Yes, we were just curious and wanted to find an opportunity to make a name for ourselves. We really don't know Su Min; you must have misunderstood, sir."

The middle-aged man frowned, "There is no need for you to quibble. I received news that the last place Su Min appeared before disappearing was the area where you were. Ordinary people wouldn't buy such deadly information. Think about it carefully, otherwise..." He paused, "bear the consequences yourself."

Xu Le and Wu Feng looked at each other, sighing inwardly at their bad luck. But at this moment, they had no other choice; they could not win a fight, and they could not run away.

Seeing that the two still did not speak, the middle-aged man lost his patience and waved his hand, "Take them down and torture them; I don't believe I can't pry their mouths open."

Xu Le and Wu Feng were taken out of the hall; they realized they had been drawn into a much larger storm, and more importantly, they were about to be tortured.

Xu Le and Wu Feng walked on the path under escort, their hearts filled with heavy pressure. They understood that this middle-aged man was definitely not a kind person, and the threat revealed in his words was not groundless.

"Wu Feng, what should we do?" Xu Le asked in a low voice, his tone revealing obvious anxiety.

Wu Feng furrowed his brows, thinking of a countermeasure. But after thinking it over, he still felt it was unsolvable.

Xu Le looked at Wu Feng's furrowed brows, his heart feeling icy cold: "The outside world is too terrifying."
