Chapter 41 The Woman in Black
However, since things had come to this point, Chongyang could only feign composure and force a dry laugh before speaking.
"Hehe... Researcher Li, you've misunderstood! The moonlight tonight is perfect, round and full, a truly beautiful sight! My brother and I simply wanted to go out for a stroll and enjoy this lovely scenery. Who would have thought we'd end up here? We're so sorry! Since that's the case, we'll take our leave now and won't bother you any longer." With that, he pulled Lu Yun away, ready to depart.
"Honorable guest, you must be mistaken! The sky is gloomy and covered with dark clouds today. Where could there be any moon?" Li Tian said with a mocking smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter erupted from all around.
Upon hearing this, Chongyang felt incredibly embarrassed and wished he could disappear into the ground.
He secretly regretted his carelessness, realizing he had forgotten to check the weather forecast because he was too nervous.
At that moment, he felt as if countless ants were crawling under his feet, making him extremely itchy, as if he really had to dig out a three-bedroom apartment before he would stop.
However, at that moment, Li Tian suddenly dropped his smile, replacing it with a strange and chilling sneer.
He stared intently at Chongyang and said, word by word, "Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!" His icy tone seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
Chongyang and Lu Yun looked solemn as they slowly retreated step by step, their eyes fixed on Li Tian with vigilance and fear, as if Li Tian had become a ferocious beast ready to devour them at any moment.
"Li Tian, this is a serious crime! You will be severely punished by law!" Lu Yun's voice trembled with extreme fear, but he still managed to shout loudly to keep himself calm.
However, despite his efforts to appear brave, his slightly trembling legs betrayed his true feelings.
Li Tian scoffed at Lu Yun's warning, a disdainful sneer on his face: "Hmph, you think you can take me? Besides me, who else here has ever seen you? Don't believe me? Ask the people around here!"
As Li Tian finished speaking, the bodyguards who had been standing to the side immediately shook their heads, indicating that they had never seen Chongyang and Lu Yun.
For a moment, the scene was filled with a suffocating tension.
Chongyang and Lu Yun exchanged a glance, both seeing despair in each other's eyes.
They knew the situation was extremely unfavorable for them. However, they did not give up and continued to try to find a chance to escape.
Suddenly, Chongyang noticed a window not far away, and a glimmer of hope welled up in his heart.
He subtly moved toward the window, while simultaneously signaling to Lu Yun with his eyes to cooperate.
Lu Yun understood immediately and began talking to Li Tian to distract him. Chongyang seized the opportunity to speed up his movements and finally arrived at the window.
However, when he tried to open the window, he found it was locked.
Chongyang's mood plummeted instantly, and just as he was at a loss, a bold idea came to mind.
He quickly turned around, grabbed a chair from the side, and smashed it against the window...
The sound of breaking glass alerted Li Tian, and he turned sharply to look at Chongyang.
Without thinking twice, Chongyang leaped out of the window.
"Chase them!" Li Tian roared, and led a group of his men to jump out after him.
Chongyang adjusted his posture in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground, then ran forward as fast as he could.
He ran into a narrow alley and used the surrounding buildings and obstacles to evade his pursuers.
Li Tian and his men pursued closely behind, but due to the complex terrain, they were gradually left behind by Chongyang.
Panting heavily, Chongyang finally escaped danger.
He glanced back to make sure no one was chasing him, then ran to a secluded corner and leaned against the wall, panting heavily.
His heart was pounding, and his legs felt as heavy as lead.
He knew he couldn't stop; he had to find a safe place to hide as soon as possible.
Looking around, Chongyang spotted a dilapidated warehouse nearby. He decided to hide inside and see if he could escape Li Tian's pursuit.
He quietly entered the warehouse, which was filled with all sorts of odds and ends. Chongyang found a secluded corner to hide in and waited quietly.
Time passed slowly, but there was no sound from outside.
Chongyang began to think about his next move. He realized that Li Tian wouldn't let him off easily, and he had to find a way to get rid of this trouble.
Just then, he heard a soft footstep...
Chongyang held his breath nervously as the footsteps grew closer. He clenched his fists, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
However, the footsteps stopped abruptly when they reached his vicinity.
Chongyang's heart tightened. Had he been discovered? He cautiously peeked out, only to see a strange figure standing there.
It was a girl, wearing a black dress, with a cold and mysterious look in her eyes.
The girl didn't seem to notice Chongyang; she was staring intently ahead, as if searching for something.
Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to retreat to the corner when the girl suddenly turned her head and her gaze fell directly on him.
The moment their eyes met, Chongyang felt an invisible pressure coming at him, and he couldn't help but shiver.
The girl's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
Immediately afterwards, she rushed towards Chongyang at a speed that was beyond the reach of ordinary people, her hands flashing with a strange light.
Before Chongyang could recover from his shock, a dazzling light suddenly shone, enveloping him like a mysterious curtain of light.
The light came so suddenly and swiftly that Chongyang had no time to make any effective response.
In an instant, Chongyang felt his vision suddenly go black, as if the whole world had been plunged into boundless darkness.
Immediately afterwards, a strong feeling of dizziness surged into his heart, and his consciousness began to gradually blur.
In the end, Chongyang could no longer resist the sudden impact. His eyes closed, his body went limp, and he collapsed, completely losing consciousness.
Meanwhile, Lu Yun was in dire straits, struggling to keep up with the enemy's fierce attacks.
Despite his best efforts to defend himself, the opponent's attacks were too fierce, and he gradually found it difficult to cope.
Li Tian's men were all agile and well-trained, and they cooperated well with each other, using ruthless and cunning moves.
Before long, Lu Yun revealed a weakness, which his opponent seized to break through the defenses and subdue him, rendering him unable to move.
