SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

"bite--"

The elevator arrived at the 12th floor, and Lin Mu stepped out with a dark expression.

Gu Cang followed behind, lit a cigarette, and asked through the swirling smoke, "Brother, don't stay silent!"

In the hotel lobby, upon seeing Su Nianhe and Yu Ning, the staff immediately bowed their heads respectfully and said:

"Chairman Su, General Manager Yu."

The two nodded in acknowledgment, then turned and walked out of the building.

"It feels like it's been ages since we've seen Chairman Su," the women in black at the front desk whispered among themselves after Su Nianhe left.

"Yes, I haven't seen her for months while I'm on the day shift," another person chimed in.

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman walked up to the two of them and coldly rebuked them:

"How dare you discuss the chairman's position? Don't you want to work here anymore?"

The two fell silent at the same time, not daring to continue the discussion.

The staff members on the 13th floor and below of the Wunian Building are all ordinary people.

The night breeze outside the building was cool. Yu Ning followed Su Nianhe with small steps, took a deep breath before cautiously speaking:

"Sister, that man just now..."

Su Nianhe suddenly stopped, her cold gaze sweeping over Yu Ning.

Yu Ning immediately smiled sweetly and said, "I won't ask anymore, sister, please don't be angry."

"For the next two days, everyone has been instructed to stay indoors."

Su Nianhe frowned slightly, and the image of Gu Cang beside Lin Mu flashed through her mind: the aura of a seventh-level awakened one?

Lin Mu, what brings you here all of a sudden?

"Don't worry, sister! Xiao Ning will go and inform them right away!"

Although Yu Ning was full of doubts, she did not hesitate at all in obeying Su Nianhe's order.

The building has 12 floors.

In a 70-square-meter standard room, luxurious crystal wall lamps reflect the soft carpet, and a faint woody scent wafts in the air.

Gu Cang sat on the bench, stubbed out his cigarette, and said in a tone that was half-joking and half-serious, "Brother, how about I get a private room?"

"They've already messaged you first; it's obvious they're practically throwing themselves at you!"

Lin Mu's face instantly darkened, a chilling aura emanating from him, his voice filled with suppressed helplessness:

"Is this never going to end? I can tell you for sure, we have absolutely no relationship."

Gu Cang felt the chill and quickly waved his hand, chuckling, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."

"Judging from your condition, you're recovering quite well."

"You should expect me to recover slowly," Lin Mu said, glancing at him indifferently.

Gu Cang was taken aback: "Huh? Why?"

"You probably haven't felt like you've been beaten up in a long time, have you?"

Gu Cang sighed and rubbed his forehead: "Brother, you're being a bit petty..."

After the lights were turned off, Lin Mu lay on the bed staring at the ceiling, but Su Nianhe's image kept replaying in his mind:

Is this Wunian Building where she hides from the world?

Above the 14th floor, everyone should be a mutant...

She just revealed her information about the Sixth Special District to me so easily?

Aren't you afraid I have ulterior motives?

Thinking of this, Lin Mu's lips unconsciously curled up slightly: What a silly woman.

……

Under the blazing sun, a black Maybach smoothly drove into the Eighth Special Zone.

"You've been circling this area for about two hours, haven't you? Is your intuition really that accurate?" Lin Mu joked, resting his right hand on the car window sill.

Gu Cang said with certainty, "My intuition has never been wrong. There's definitely something strange going on in this place."

Lin Mu smiled but didn't reply, but secretly thought to himself: His intuition was so accurate, yet he didn't find anything unusual in the Wunian Building.

But the next second, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and his voice instantly turned cold:

"Slow down, turn right at the next intersection, and close all the windows."

"What's wrong?"

As Gu Cang responded, he slowly moved the car to the right lane, and the windows on both sides rolled up with a "whoosh".

"If I'm not mistaken, that old man in black in front should be the fifth seat of the Central Elder Council."

Lin Mu's voice carried a hint of coldness.

"The fifth seat?"

Gu Cang's eyes flashed with shock: "That old bastard's appearance in Zhenbei City can't be anything good!"

"Dude, what did I tell you? My intuition was right!"

A moment later, the figure of the old man in black disappeared behind the gate of a manor in the old town.

A few minutes later, the Maybach slowly came to a stop under the shade of trees diagonally opposite the manor.

"Park behind that white sedan on the side and see when he comes out," Lin Mu said in a deep voice.

Gu Cang turned off the cigarette, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and then tilted his head to ask, "Should I sneak in and take a look?"

Lin Mu shook his head slightly: "That's too risky."

His gaze swept over the rusty iron gate of the manor: "Wait a minute. How confident are you in facing him alone?"

"Why don't we just take him out together in a flash?" Gu Cang's voice was very low.

Lin Mu glanced at him helplessly, and Gu Cang immediately realized and waved his hand: "Sorry, I forgot again. If it were me..."

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, frowned, and pondered for a few seconds before finally shaking his head: "No."

"I'm confident I can severely injure him on my own, but who can say for sure whether there are any sixth or even seventh-tier awakened individuals hidden in this manor?"

"Then let's wait a bit." Lin Mu closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of an engine came from afar.

A black sedan slowly drove past their Maybach and finally stopped in front of the manor's large iron gate.

Gu Cang stared at the car's license plate and suddenly sneered, "Heh... this license plate number is now 100% confirmed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the iron gate of the manor creaked open, and the old man in black slowly walked out.

The driver immediately and respectfully opened the car door. The old man glanced around warily before bending down and getting into the car, which then started moving.

Only after the car disappeared from the intersection did Gu Cang suddenly sit up straight: "Should I go in and check out the situation inside?"

Lin Mu's eyes suddenly turned cold: "No need."

"Why isn't it working yet?" Gu Cang raised an eyebrow.

Lin Mu rolled her eyes at him: "Ning Mo should still be in Zhenbei City. Send him this location and tell him there's a problem with the manor."

"Operation Zhen'e Ting needs no reason."

A look of sudden realization flashed in Gu Cang's eyes: "Holy crap! I almost forgot about that!"

He immediately pulled out his phone, his fingers flying across the screen as he sent his location and information to Ning Mo all at once.

A few minutes later, Gu Cang's phone rang.

After reading the message, he waved his phone at Lin Mu and said with a smile, "6:00 PM sharp, I'll be there on time."

"Okay. Drive the car a little further forward and park it in that alley ahead."

Lin Mu gazed at the distant manor, his voice deepening: "I have a feeling that this trip to Zhenbei City won't be in vain."

Gu Cang parked the car in the shadows at the alley entrance, tilted his head, and asked, "Are you going to wait in the car tonight, or come in with me? Do you want to meet Ning Mo and the others?"

Lin Mu leaned back in his seat and remained silent for a few seconds before finally sighing, "Never mind."

"The sudden appearance of a stranger will only arouse their suspicion, even if they are with you."
