Time passed minute by minute.

The winter sky was always very short, and very soon, the originally azure sky was painted with a touch of darkness.

Liu Kai looked at the time and frowned.

What was going on? Was it a prank?

Just as he was speculating, the waiter walked over.

"I'll stop drinking." Liu Kai waved his hand.

"Hello, I'm not here to refill your cup." The waiter shook his head and handed over a piece of paper. "This was just given to you by a guest."

"Guest?"

Liu Kai's eyes flashed, "What guest?"

He had been staring at the people coming and going in the café, and he knew perfectly well that no one else had been in the café for so long.

And who was the customer that the waiter spoke of?

The waiter shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but we don't know who this customer is either. He sent the paper balls to the main store on our other street and sent them over to us."

So it was like this.

Liu Kai heaved a sigh of relief.

So it turned out that the other party had no intention of meeting up at all.

"Thank you."

Liu Kai took out a red note and gave it a tip. He took the paper ball and looked at it for a while, then stood up and walked out of the coffee shop.

When he returned to the villa, the sky was already completely dark. He looked at the courtyard.

After entering the bedroom, he turned on the computer and typed in the address written on the paper.

Account number, password, enter.

After accurately opening it, Liu Kai slapped the table in excitement.

His prediction was indeed correct. This was a mailbox from a foreign country.

After Liu Kai opened his mailbox, he started to search. Very quickly, a secret file caught his attention, and after he opened it, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Liu Kai's throat couldn't help but roll for a bit. He took a deep breath, put on his headphones and turned on the audio.

Half an hour later, he took off his headset, exhaled, and leaned back in his chair. His expression was one of relief.

Liu Kai found the USB flash drive, copied the audio onto the USB flash drive and put it away.

Then he went to the window and looked around the yard.

Lu Fengting's car had not come back yet.

Liu Kai looked at the dark sky outside and could not help but frown.

After exiting the villa, Lu Fengting drove all the way to the address stated in the letter. They waited for over ten minutes, then a pedestrian came over with a ball of paper in his hand and said: "Someone asked me to give this to you."

Lu Fengting took the paper ball and looked at it. There was another address written on it, and it was very far away from here.

An hour later, the two of them arrived at the address. After waiting for a little more than 10 minutes, another passerby walked over. It was the same explanation. A new address was written on the paper.

After repeating it a few times, Lu Fengting was a little annoyed.

He felt like a mouse being applauded.

The sky had already darkened. Lu Fengting looked at the address he got once again. This time, it was a very remote place in the countryside.

Lu Fengting frowned, he had a bad premonition, "I'll send you back first, I'll go to this place myself."

Xia Yun's safety would always be at the top of her list.

"No, I'll go with you." Xia Yun persisted.

In this situation, it was impossible for her to leave by herself.

Seeing that she was so persistent, Lu Fengting did not say anything else and drove straight to the remote address on the paper ball.

The destination was very remote. There were no asphalt roads, only muddy dirt roads.

It was already 8 PM.

It was eight o'clock in the evening in the late winter. The sky was already pitch black, and the cold wind that was blowing against his face was like cold knives cutting down.

After he got off the car, Lu Fengting looked in front of him. It was an empty space, and soil covered his feet, how could there be any buildings here?

Could it be that all of this was to play with them?

Lu Fengting wandered around the place that he wrote on the address twice. In an empty place, he found nothing.

He turned to Xia Yun who had an expression of anticipation and shook his head, saying: "Get in, let's go back."

"Oh."

Hearing Lu Fengting's words, Xia Yun's mood could not help but become downcast. She was naturally willing to take part in this trip, but things often went against her wishes.

Just as Xia Yun turned around and was about to return to the carriage, she suddenly realised that Lu Fengting behind him had exclaimed and turned around. Lu Fengting was picking at the dirt on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yun hurried over to ask.

Lu Fengting did not speak, he focused on sweeping the dirt off the ground.

Soon, a square board with a diameter of one and a half meters appeared on the ground.

Lu Fengting knocked on the door.

His black eyes slightly narrowed.

Sure enough, it was empty inside.

Immediately after, Lu Fengting found a handle on the wooden board.

Lu Fengting pulled the handle, it was pitch black inside, Lu Fengting took out his phone and looked down, he could not help but be startled, then said: "This is an underground tunnel."

Underground passage?

Xia Yun blinked her eyes and said: "The messenger means for us to go down?"

"Probably."

Lu Fengting's thick eyebrows tightly knitted together. Right now, his heart was extremely tangled.

It was obvious that the messenger wanted them to enter this underground tunnel, but the underground tunnel was pitch black. Everything was unknown, and the messenger's intention was still unclear. If they were to rush in, the risk was extremely high.

Of course, Lu Fengting didn't want Xia Yun to take such a risk. However, if she was left alone in the carriage, in the wilderness, and there were people lying in ambush, it would be terrible if they waited until got down from the carriage.

At this point, there was only one way to protect himself, and that was to temporarily give up and bring Xia Yun back to the villa. Then, he would come together with Liu Kai.

It was just that that way, he might lose an extremely rare opportunity.

Xia Yun looked at Lu Fengting's frown, she held his hand and said firmly: I will go down with you.

She knew what Lu Fengting was worried about, and in order to prevent Lu Fengting from hesitating, she had to express her attitude once again.

Lu Fengting felt the familiar warmth from his hands and nodded.

This time, it was the first time in a long time that Xia Yun had taken the initiative to hold his hand. Towards her request, Lu Fengting no longer had any reason to reject.

The two of them walked down the stairs step by step. Lu Fengting took his phone and looked at the road ahead of them, while Xia Yun followed closely behind. The unknown darkness around them caused her heart to tighten.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Lu Fengting slowed down his steps and said with a heavy tone as he felt Xia Yun's palms sweating.

"Yes."

Xia Yun gently replied, her heart surprisingly calmed down a lot.

She looked at Lu Fengting's back in front of her, and was lost in thought for a moment. This man, could always make her feel a strong sense of security.

And this sense of security, like drugs, was addictive.
