【Sweetheart Lover】

Chapter 153 Xiao Minglang’s Invitation

Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, Su Yao suddenly received a mysterious phone call. Her face instantly became solemn, and her eyes revealed a hint of confusion and doubt. She turned slightly to the side, covering the receiver with one hand, as if she didn't want others to hear what was on the phone. Her brows were furrowed, her lips were tightly pursed, and she occasionally responded with a few short words.

"Okay, I understand." Su Yao responded briefly to the other end of the phone, and then slowly put down the phone. Her eyes swept over everyone present, her eyes full of complicated emotions.

Ruan Jianan immediately noticed her abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?" His voice was filled with anxiety and concern. He leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Su Yao.

Su Yao was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about how to start. Her eyes were erratic, and her fingers were fiddling with the corners of her clothes unconsciously. "I just received an invitation from a mysterious person, asking us to go to a place where there are important clues about the Black Shadow Organization. This mysterious person is a friend of my friend, his name is Xiao Minglang." Her voice was a little low, with a hint of uncertainty.

Everyone looked at each other. Lin Yanan frowned and said, "Could this be a trap?" Her eyes were full of worry, and her hands unconsciously grabbed Ruan Jianan's arm.

The stranger clenched his fists: "But it may also be our chance to uncover the truth." His expression was firm and his eyes revealed determination.

Su Yao looked at everyone: "I think we should go, but we must be fully prepared." Her tone was firm, as if she had made up her mind.

Ruan Jianan nodded: "That's right, but we know nothing about Xiao Minglang, so we still have to be careful." His eyes were full of caution, and he began to think about various situations that might arise.

Everyone started to prepare to leave, and everyone's expression was very serious. Lin Yanan bit her lip and paced back and forth in the room, feeling uneasy. She looked at Ruan Jianan from time to time, as if she could get some sense of security from him. Ruan Jianan was sorting out some necessary items and putting them into his backpack, his movements were skillful and fast.

Zhong Yuan checked his weapons with a focused and serious expression. He wiped every knife and gun carefully to ensure that they could be used at the critical moment.

Su Yao sat on the sofa with her eyes closed, as if rehearsing the upcoming scene in her mind.

When they arrived at the gate of the villa, a black car was already waiting for them. The body of the car reflected a dazzling light in the sun, giving people a mysterious and depressing feeling.

The driver was wearing a peaked cap, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. He sat quietly in the driver's seat, motionless, like a sculpture.

Ruan Jianan looked at the driver warily, feeling uneasy. He tried to find some clues from the driver, but the driver was wrapped tightly and did not reveal any flaws.

They got in the car one after another, and the car sped away. There was a tense atmosphere in the car, no one spoke, only the roar of the engine and the sound of the tires rubbing against the ground.

Lin Yanan looked at the scenery outside the window that was rapidly receding, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind. Her fingers were tightly twisted together, and her palms were full of sweat.

Ruan Jianan held Lin Yanan's hand tightly, trying to comfort her. His eyes were firm, as if telling Lin Yanan not to be afraid.

Zhong Yuan sat in the front row, his eyes fixed straight ahead, always on guard.

Su Yao sat in the corner with a serious expression, not knowing what she was thinking.

After driving for a long time, we finally arrived at a remote place. It was a desolate scene with weeds growing everywhere and dilapidated buildings standing alone.

The driver stopped the car and said coldly, "We're here, get off."

Everyone got out of the car and looked at the strange and desolate place in front of them, their hearts full of vigilance.

Ruan Jianan took a deep breath and said, "Everyone be careful."

They walked forward slowly, taking every step carefully. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, raising a cloud of dust.

Lin Yanan couldn't help coughing, and Ruan Jianan quickly covered her mouth with his hands.

Just then, a figure walked out of a dilapidated building.

This person is Xiao Minglang. He is tall, with a stern face and an indescribable depth in his eyes. He is wearing a long black windbreaker, the corners of which sway slightly in the wind.

Xiao Minglang looked at them quietly, and after a moment he said, "You are finally here." His voice was low and magnetic.

Everyone stared at him, waiting for his next words.
