Chapter 1162: Uncovering Suspicious Clues
At this moment, Chen Tianlong suddenly thought of something, so he immediately called Lin Wushuang and Hao Shuai, who were unsure of what was happening but followed along.
"Chen Tianlong, what’s going on? Could it be that the person from the mission is about to appear?" Lin Wushuang asked naively.
Chen Tianlong nodded and said, "Possibly, Du Nong’s disappearance must be connected to the City Lord of the Mysterious City. After midnight, you’ll understand."
So the three of them sneaked into Du Nong’s room quietly and waited patiently, until midnight finally arrived.
With a shout from the lamp holder: "It’s midnight, be careful of the fire bamboo."
Hao Shuai and the three beauties seemed to grasp some of the situation, but there were still many doubts.
Suddenly, a black cloud came from nowhere in the sky, mixed with thunder and lightning. At this moment, the lamp holder acted strangely, moving quickly.
"Huh! How did the lamp holder just die, and the boss has changed another person today?" Lin Wushuang asked curiously.
"Oh, replacing someone is quite normal. It’s not possible to stop everyday life just because someone died, right? Someone has to work as usual every day." Chen Tianlong explained.
"Hmm, okay."
Lin Wushuang grinned and smiled.
However, Chen Tianlong noticed the abnormality of the lamp holder, not because his identity was suspicious, but he felt this person didn’t seem quite human—the way he moved so swiftly, and Hao Shuai remained so calm? This job is too diligent, isn’t it?
While thinking about it, the door suddenly creaked open, and the same lamp holder they saw earlier walked in, looking a bit sneaky.
Chen Tianlong was about to go out, but suddenly the door opened again, surprising them—it was Du Nong, who had finally returned.
"What are you doing? Running into my room in the middle of the night."
Du Nong asked, clearly a bit irritated.
"Sir, I’m just helping you add lamp oil."
As he spoke, he hurriedly poured it in, and Du Nong didn’t pay attention, but the attentive Chen Tianlong frowned—the lamp oil was obviously full, so why add more?
Lin Wushuang squatted down for a bit, felt tired, and inadvertently sat on the floor, making a slight noise.
"Who’s there? Come out now." Du Nong shouted.
Chen Tianlong could only stand up with an embarrassed smile and said, "Du Nong, sorry, we didn’t see you during the day, so we decided to hide in your room to see what’s going on."
"Oh? It’s Brother Chen Tianlong, I apologize. I thought a villain had sneaked in here?" Du Nong also apologized a little and then looked at the lamp holder, "Are you done? Once you finish, you can leave."
"Heh, alright, I’ll head out now."
The young man hurriedly took the lamp oil and left, but his mouth curled into a cold smile, all of which fell into Chen Tianlong’s eyes.
After the lamp holder left, Du Nong didn’t say much more and directly addressed Chen Tianlong, "Alright, Brother Tianlong, I’m also tired and need to rest. Whatever business you have, let’s discuss it tomorrow."
Hao Shuai originally had many questions, but since Du Nong had issued an eviction order, it wasn’t appropriate for them to stay longer.
So Chen Tianlong clenched his fist as a farewell gesture, and the three of them left Du Nong’s room. Hao Shuai was somewhat frustrated but kept it to himself, not planning to share it with Chen Tianlong.
Just as the three had walked a short distance, a dart suddenly shot over, and Chen Tianlong quickly pulled Lin Wushuang aside to dodge.
At this moment, Hao Shuai saw it was a hidden weapon and became excited instead, as his mission was to take down an expert in hidden weapons. Could this be the person he was looking for? So he chased after it.
Meanwhile, the lamp holder took a few steps, then quickly slipped into an alley and left. Chen Tianlong already suspected something was up with the lamp holder, so he quickly informed Lin Wushuang and hurriedly chased after him.
Now the entire corridor was left with only Lin Wushuang, who suddenly felt nervous in the dark and gloomy surroundings. She had no choice but to head toward her room.
But after just a few steps, she heard footsteps following her, and when she turned around, she found nothing.
So Lin Wushuang hurried back to her room, managed to open the door, and locked it, but suddenly felt her body go numb and lost consciousness.
"Heh, not bad, this one’s a gem."
At this point, Kang Taike held the beauty and couldn’t help but swallow.
However, he knew this place was not safe to stay for long; once people noticed something was wrong, they’d rush back, and leaving wouldn’t be easy. So, Kang Taike placed Lin Wushuang in a bag he carried, hoisted it over his shoulder, and leaped onto the roof, quickly running into the wilderness.
In a large green meadow, the lecherous Kang Taike couldn’t wait any longer. He first took off his shirt, then pulled Lin Wushuang out of the bag, gently undoing her collar.
After the rush earlier, Lin Wushuang was now almost awake. Feeling a slight chill on her chest, she awoke with a start, seeing a man in his thirties with a particularly sleazy look groping her body, frightening her.
"What are you doing?" Lin Wushuang stared at him warily.
"Hehe, what do you think?"
Kang Taike didn’t directly answer Lin Wushuang’s question but responded with a lecherous grin.
His hands never stopped moving.
In no time, Lin Wushuang’s top was taken off, and she quickly got up, pushing him away. But Kang Taike, being a man, pulled Lin Wushuang back.
"Beauty, don’t be so naughty. Let me love you well; I will be gentle."
Kang Taike was extremely lascivious, not caring about the chilly air outside, unfastening his shirt and baring his upper body.
At this moment, he was already burning with desire, lunging toward Lin Wushuang. But she was terrified, her clothes slightly disheveled, revealing a small patch of fair skin.
Even though it was hard to see clearly at night, the faint glimpse made her even more alluring.
"You, don’t come over, I... I’m not good at all."
Lin Wushuang, frightened by him, stammered.
"Hehe, beauty, you won’t know until you try, will you? Come on, give me a kiss." As Kang Taike said this, he lunged forward, and Lin Wushuang quickly moved away.
To be honest, Kang Taike just thought it added a bit of flair and piqued his interest. Otherwise, given his strength, capturing Lin Wushuang would have been a matter of minutes.
So the more Lin Wushuang resisted, the more excited he became, planning to play around before getting to the main ’event’.
Lin Wushuang knew this person must be highly skilled to sneak into her room unnoticed and easily deceive Chen Tianlong and the others. So, at this moment, she was truly scared.
If she was really defiled by this man, how could she face Chen Tianlong? Thinking of this, a sense of dread welled up within her.
At that moment, she deeply wished Chen Tianlong would appear, like he had in the past, and could only try to buy time, believing he would arrive in time.
Near the hotel.
Chen Tianlong followed with a quick step, but the lamp holder had disappeared around a corner, leaving him a bit frustrated. Who were these people, acting so mysteriously? Could it be a Divination Skill?
