Lan Dahai clearly knew that he was being pursued by the military. Not only did he choose to appear in the wee hours of the morning when there were fewer people, but he also used a large cloak to cover his entire body.
After walking out from behind the tree, he immediately rushed into another alley. He stopped at the entrance of the alley for a moment to make sure that no one was following him before silently retreating into the darkness.
Perhaps even Lan Dahai himself did not expect that even though he was already so careful, his identity was still exposed.
“Stay here. I’ll go take a look!”
Wang Xiao took out the [Nirvana Mask] and put it on his face. In an instant, he looked like a middle-aged man. However, just as he was about to set off, he was grabbed by Zhou Xiruo.
“I’ll go with you.”
Zhou Xiruo grabbed Wang Xiao’s arm and said seriously, “You disappeared the last time you went alone. I don’t want it to happen again.”
“Didn’t I already explain to you that I didn’t disappear last time?!”
Wang Xiao whispered helplessly, “Moreover, you can’t disguise yourself. What if you’re discovered after following him?”
“I don’t care! I want to go with you anyway!”
Zhou Xiruo grabbed Wang Xiao stubbornly. ‘Why don’t you inform Adjutant Qi to send someone over? In short, I won’t let you go alone!”
“It’s too late to inform Adjutant Qi now!”
Wang Xiao replied helplessly. He still wanted to continue to use emotions and reason, but Lan Dahai would not give him the luxury of time. After hesitating, he could only nod. “Then follow behind me and don’t wander around!”
Seeing Zhou Xiruo nod in agreement, Wang Xiao led him into the alley. As soon as they entered, they saw a cloaked figure leave from the opposite side. Without any time to think, he hurriedly followed.
When he arrived at the alley on the other side, Wang Xiao stuck his head out to take a look. He happened to see Lan Dahai walking into the alley across the street.
However, the street was empty and unobstructed. Wang Xiao was afraid of being discovered, so he could only wait patiently. After more than ten seconds, he continued his pursuit after estimating that the other party had moved.
After following for nearly an hour, the two sides had already arrived at the edge of Kaiyang City. There were not many people living here, but many warehouses had been built. The roads and alleys were all for the convenience of transporting goods. The route situation was more than several times more complicated than the main city area.
In such a place, even if Wang Xiao’s movements were only a second slower, he might completely lose track of the other party. However, as the sky became brighter and brighter, Lan Dahai became even more cautious, causing the difficulty of tracking to increase exponentially.
“This can’t go on.”
Wang Xiao hid behind a wall and whispered, “There are fewer and fewer people around here. We won’t be able to hide soon.”
When Zhou Xiruo heard this, her expression also became solemn. “Then what should we do? Inform Adjutant Qi to send people to surround this place?”
Wang Xiao thought for a moment and shook his head. “I’m afraid it’s useless. Do you still remember the [Artificial Teleportation Portal] of the Lang brothers? It’s most likely obtained by Lan Dahai. If he was prepared long ago, he would probably have long fled by the time the military arrived!” “But didn’t you say that we won’t be able to hide soon?”
“Yes, that’s why I have to use the [Nirvana Mask] to follow.”
Wang Xiao voiced his thoughts. Without waiting for Zhou Xiruo to object, he continued, “This time, I’ll leave a mark for you along the way. Contact Deputy Qi first. When the military arrives, we’ll chase after the mark to find me.”
“No way!”
Zhou Xiruo shook her head without thinking. “You make it sound nice now, but what if you suddenly leave no marks or are discovered?”
“If I’m discovered, I’ll engage. However, Lan Dahai is just a broker. He’s not good at fighting. It shouldn’t be a problem to stall him. As for leaving a mark—”
When Wang Xiao said this, he suddenly smiled evilly at Zhou Xiruo. “I can’t give you any guarantees. It depends on how much you trust me.”
“You!”
Zhou Xiruo was so angry that her face instantly turned red. Wang Xiao put on a serious expression and said, “Don’t worry, I was just joking. My goal is to capture Lan Dahai. Why wouldn’t I leave a mark for you?”
His logic was reasonable, and Zhou Xiruo couldn’t think of a wav to refute it.
Wang Xiao did not give her much time to think. He bent down and picked up the stone to draw a simple arrow on the wall. “I will use the arrow to indicate the direction at the intersection. You guys just follow the arrow.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Xiao had already run out. By the time Zhou Xiruo reacted and wanted to stop him, Wang Xiao was already nowhere to be seen.
Zhou Xiruo’s expression instantly turned ugly. The route in this area was very complicated. Just within ten meters, there were six or seven intersections. If she wanted to catch up to Wang Xiao, she could only follow the instructions of the marker.
“Stinky Wang Xiao! You better keep your word this time!”
Zhou Xiruo stomped her feet angrily. Then, she took out her communicator and dialed a number. “Adjutant Qi? I’m Zhou Xiruo…”
Somewhere in the warehouse area.
After confirming Lan Dahai’s movements, Wang Xiao drew an arrow at the base of the wall and immediately chased after him.
“Who’s there!”
With a sudden shout, Wang Xiao realized that Lan Dahai was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stopped not far away and waited for him. Under his wide cloak, there was a bulge. It was obvious that he carried a weapon with him!
His heart instantly rose up to his throat, but Wang Xiao did not show it on his face. Relying on the Nirvana Mask, he was stunned for a moment before he frowned and shouted, “I’m here to look after the warehouse! Who are you? Are you trying to steal something?”
“You’re looking at the warehouse?”
Lan Dahai frowned and looked at Wang Xiao. He did not hide the suspicion in his eyes. “Why haven’t I seen you before?”
“There are so many people coming and going here every day. Have you seen every one of them?”
Wang Xiao sneered and picked up a wooden stick from the side. “Hurry up and tell me what you are doing! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Actually, Lan Dahai was suspicious of this “security guard”. However, when he saw the other party’s aggressive manner, he suddenly felt a little confused.
After hesitating for a moment, he replied in a low voice, “I’m a businessman. I’m here to collect the goods from the warehouse.”
“Can you prove it?!” “What?”
“I’m asking you if you can prove it!”
Wang Xiao raised the wooden stick in his hand and stared at Lan Dahai with a frown. “Do you really have a warehouse just because you say so? If others say the same thing, does that mean they can sneak in and steal things?”
‘You!”
Lan Dahai’s eyes widened in anger, but he seemed to have thought of something and finally asked helplessly, “How do you want me to prove it?”
“Take me to your warehouse!”
Wang Xiao raised the wooden stick and said seriously, “Didn’t you say that you have a warehouse here? Take me there. As long as you can open it, I’ll believe you!”
…Alright.”
Lan Dahai hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded. He stared at the middle-aged Wang Xiao and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the depths of his eyes. “Then come with me..”
