SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

"Two seventh-tier high-level cultivators!?" Lin Mu's eyes flashed with shock. "And then?"

"Later, the envoy of the nation appeared, but alas, humanity's pinnacle of combat power was buried by its own people."

Su Nianhe sneered, then looked at Lin Mu: "I'm very curious, how did you manage to leave the Forbidden City when you were already on your last legs?"

I'm very interested in the secrets you hold.

After saying that, she shifted to a seductive pose and lay back on the sofa.

"Is there anything else?" Lin Mu asked calmly.

"Cold-hearted, I've already told you such a big secret, how are you going to repay me?" Su Nianhe said with a light laugh.

Lin Mu remained silent for a moment, then got up and walked towards the door.

Su Nianhe's voice rang out from behind: "Lin Mu, you are the first person to have seen my body."

"Your life can only be taken by me. You cannot die so easily, or I will be heartbroken."

Lin Mu paused briefly in front of the door, then opened it and walked out.

On a bench in the hallway, Yu Ning was scrolling through her phone. Hearing the sound, she looked up and teased, "So soon? Have you been neglected by your sister?"

Just as Lin Mu was about to speak, the door behind him opened again.

"Tap, tap."

The crisp sound of high heels rang out, and Su Nianhe walked to Lin Mu's side, looking at Yu Ning:

"Go back and rest, Xiao Ning. I'll take you there."

He then turned to Lin Mu and said, "What are you standing there for? Aren't you in a hurry to leave? I'll see you off."

Lin Mu hummed in agreement, and the two walked side by side toward the elevator.

Yu Ning's eyes widened, her mind screaming: No way?

Could it be that my sister wasn't just playing around? But that's impossible.

What is the sister's identity? And what is the man's identity? Just an ordinary, unremarkable person.

Ah—I don't understand, I don't understand.

Forget it, let's go back and rest.

As the elevator slowly descended, Su Nianhe suddenly pulled out a key and waved it in front of Lin Mu: "Key, should we put it back?"

"You can handle it yourself, it's fine if you lose it," Lin Mu said calmly.

"Hmph, so stubborn!" Su Nianhe muttered to herself, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips.

"bite--"

The elevator doors slowly opened, and Lin Mu raised an eyebrow, looking at the man outside: "Didn't I tell you to wait for the call?"

Su Nianhe also looked at Gu Cang, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

Gu Cang first waved to Su Nianhe and gave her a polite smile: "Hello, beautiful lady, I hope I haven't disturbed you?"

Lin Mu looked speechless: "I'm the one talking to you."

Su Nianhe chuckled and looked at Gu Cang: "We won't bother you. We've done everything we needed to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mu's face darkened, and the cigarette that Gu Cang was holding fell to the ground. He stood there stunned.

Lin Mu walked up to Gu Cang and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Gu Cang suddenly snapped out of his daze and waved the room key in his hand: "Brother, I thought you weren't leaving today, so I specially booked a room."

Lin Mu's face darkened further: "Withdraw."

"It's so late, why are you canceling? Let's just leave."

Gu Cang followed, but Su Nianhe called out to him, "Wait a minute, I'll have the front desk refund you."

Gu Cang's gossip-loving nature was completely ignited, and he grinned, saying, "Thank you so much, sister-in-law!"

"My brother is truly blessed to have met you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Mu pulled her toward the building entrance.

After the two figures disappeared, Su Nianhe suddenly laughed and shook the keys in her hand: "I'll definitely come back, you know."

Outside the building, the roar of an engine filled the air as a black Maybach drove out of the main entrance of the Wunian Building.

"Brother, there's no need to hide this from us. Even if our deceased brothers knew about it from below, they would cheer and applaud for you. Really, believe me." Gu Cang said earnestly.

"Gu Cang".

"Go ahead, I'm listening."

"I'm warning you one last time, we have absolutely no relationship," Lin Mu said coldly.

"Sigh." Gu Cang sighed, "Saying one thing and meaning another..."

As soon as he finished speaking, several crisp metallic clanging sounds came from under the car, clearly indicating that it wasn't just a single part that had fallen off.

Gu Cang slammed on the brakes, pulling the Maybach to the side of the road. He lit a cigarette and said, "You really are a jinx."

"Being able to hold out until Zhenbei City is already beyond my expectations," Lin Mu said calmly.

A moment later, four columns of soil suddenly emerged from the four corners under the car, steadily lifting the Maybach up.

Gu Cang glanced down at the car and instantly gave Lin Mu a knowing look.

"Can you be a little more reliable?" Lin Mu asked helplessly.

"Making it to Jiangcheng shouldn't be a problem," Gu Cang said confidently.

The next second, Lin Mu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a layer of ice covered the bottom of the car at a visible speed.

Gu Cang smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back to Jiangcheng."

……

3:00 AM.

"Squeak—" The door was pushed open.

Gu Cang walked into the Duanshe Tavern with a cigarette in his mouth, the smoke slowly dissipating in the dim light.

"Good evening, boss!" Xiaoman jumped up from the round stool, her voice filled with excitement.

"Brother Gu, you're back." San Shi also stood up and responded, his gaze falling on Gu Cang.

Gu Cang paused, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and asked in a hoarse voice with surprise, "You guys are still awake?"

"Of course, it's because I received news that you're returning tonight!"

Xiaoman walked quickly to the bar, lifted the insulated lid, and the steaming hot late-night snack was emitting white mist.

"Eat up, boss, everything's ready for you."

San Shi added with a smile, "Brother Gu, you haven't left Jiangcheng for several years. It's really good to travel around more, so you don't become more and more decadent if you stay too long."

"You two..."

Gu Cang chuckled softly, his eyes softening slightly, and exhaled a smoke ring, saying, "Get some rest."

"Who knows, maybe we'll have a tough battle to fight in a few months, and our skills won't have gotten rusty then?"

"Wow!" Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and the dagger in her hand instantly spun out a silver flower.

"Boss, who are we fighting? What kind of battle is it?"

A glint of light flashed in San Shi's eyes: "Brother Gu, your trip to Zhenbei City was worthwhile; your eyes are practically sparkling."

"Stop joking around, let's go upstairs to the rest area."

"If you keep nagging, believe me, I'll stop your pay." Gu Cang raised an eyebrow and said, feigning anger.

Xiaoman and Sanshi immediately fell silent, their footsteps quickly disappearing at the top of the stairs.

Gu Cang shook his head helplessly as he watched their retreating figures. He walked to the bar, looked at the steaming food, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Gu Cang watched their retreating figures with a helpless smile, walked to the bar, and looked at the still steaming food, his lips unconsciously curving upwards.

On the other side, Lin Mu, having finished washing up, walked to the French windows in her slippers, and a flame suddenly flickered at her fingertips.

Amidst the swirling smoke, Su Nianhe's words from the Wunian Building echoed in his mind.

Above the five central elders, there is actually a hidden force?

The envoy never mentioned it, but perhaps those old guys at the research and development base know something.

Lin Mu chuckled self-deprecatingly: Trying to get information out of them is harder than climbing to heaven.

His gaze suddenly deepened: Who is secretly manipulating this world? What are they planning to do?

The human experimentation base discovered by chance is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Heh... since I'm still alive.

China will never be allowed to be swallowed by darkness!
