Meng Wanyue immediately placed the materials in her hand on the table and turned to follow Xu Mu.
Even she didn't notice that there was a slight curve on the corner of her mouth.
She really liked going out with Xu Mu.
On the way, Xu Mu briefly told her what had happened.
After that, they took the elevator to the underground garage.
Meng Wanyue voluntarily sat in the driver's seat. She took out her phone and checked the old fertilizer factory in Wu City through the satellite map.
According to the map, this fertilizer factory had long been abandoned.
A dozen or so chimneys of various sizes stood there all alone.
There were many buildings inside the factory, and there was no sign of human habitation within a radius of several kilometers.
"Mr. Xu, they led you here. It might be bad for you," Meng Wanyue said as she checked the surrounding environment. Generally, leading someone to such a place meant they wanted to take the person's life.
"Don't worry. I know a little bit of martial arts," Xu Mu said to Meng Wanyue. "Let's go."
"Okay."
Meng Wanyue nodded and then drove out of the garage. First, she drove the car to the open-air parking lot and parked it in front of her Wuling Hongguang.
She opened the rear door and got in.
In a short while, Meng Wanyue got out of the car again. Her black office uniform had been replaced with sportswear that was more convenient for movement.
She also changed into a pair of sports shoes. She picked up a schoolbag and threw it into the back seat.
She had already made up her mind. If those people just wanted to simply teach Xu Mu a lesson, she would arrest them and let Xu Mu deal with them.
But if they dared to kill Xu Mu, then she would... kill them all.
...
Wu City was a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Jiang City, only about an hour's drive from the city center of Jiang City.
Xu Mu was almost asleep. He wasn't that nervous.
If he really couldn't save the person, he could just retreat. Anyway, he had tried his best.
If it were Ye Tong who was captured, he definitely wouldn't be so relaxed.
"Mr. Xu, there are still three kilometers to the old fertilizer factory," Meng Wanyue said as she parked the car on the roadside outside Wu City.
According to the map, if they went straight along this road for another three kilometers, they would reach the destination.
Xu Mu opened the window at this time to feel the gentle breeze outside. "Wanyue, they asked me to go alone."
"No, Mr. Xu. You'll definitely be in danger if you go alone. I'll go with you," Meng Wanyue said seriously.
"If you go with me, I'm afraid they'll kill the hostage. Wanyue, how about this? I'll go in through the main entrance of the fertilizer factory to attract their attention, and you sneak in from the back to rescue the person," Xu Mu looked at Meng Wanyue and said. This was the strategy he had thought of before.
"But..."
After looking into Xu Mu's eyes, Meng Wanyue nodded. "Okay, Mr. Xu. Wait a minute."
As she spoke, Meng Wanyue immediately got out of the car and took out a watch from the schoolbag in the back.
"This watch has a positioning device. If you press and hold the button on the right, you can also transmit your voice to me, which will help me find you," Meng Wanyue said as she handed the watch to Xu Mu.
Xu Mu nodded, took off the Rolex on his wrist, and casually threw it on the car seat.
He put on Meng Wanyue's watch.
"Mr. Xu, how about I set off now and go to the back of the fertilizer factory first? I'll send you a message when I get there," Meng Wanyue said to Xu Mu.
"Okay. Don't act until I tell you after I arrive," Xu Mu instructed.
"All right."
Meng Wanyue agreed, picked up the schoolbag, and carried it on her back.
She jumped off the road and took a shortcut to the fertilizer factory.
Xu Mu also got out of the car and sat in the driver's seat. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes to calm his breathing.
It was impossible for him not to be nervous because this time it might be a matter of life and death.
Whether it was others killing him or him killing others, one would always be nervous for the first time.
About seven or eight minutes later, Xu Mu's phone received a message.
He picked it up and saw that Meng Wanyue told him that she had arrived at the destination.
Xu Mu replied with "Received" and then drove to the fertilizer factory.
This was a road outside the city, and there were few cars. Xu Mu covered the three-kilometer distance in less than two minutes and arrived there.
Looking at the fertilizer factory that was within easy reach, he turned the car towards the front gate.
The front gate of the abandoned fertilizer factory was rusty, and only a small door was open.
Before getting out of the car, Xu Mu sent a message to Meng Wanyue, telling her that he was about to enter the gate.
After sending the message, he got out of the car and walked towards the inside of the fertilizer factory.
He activated his perception ability to check all the living things within a radius of a hundred meters.
When he walked about ten meters inside, through his perception, he found a man in his fifties or sixties hiding behind a building.
"I'm here! Where is Mu Qingying? Let her go!"
Xu Mu pretended not to notice the man and deliberately shouted to the surroundings.
Jiu Zhi had installed a pinhole camera at the gate long ago. He could see on his phone that there was only Xu Mu nearby.
He took out an Ultraman mask, put it on, and walked out with a big smile on his face.
There was usually a camera in front of him, and the other end was connected to Lin Yang.
Lin Yang was afraid that Jiu Zhi would play some tricks, so he specifically requested this.
Meanwhile.
Inside an abandoned factory somewhere.
Feng Yue and Mu Qingying were both here.
Lin Yang was checking the screen on the laptop in front of him.
A smile appeared on his face. "Xu Mu finally showed up."
Mu Qingying, who was tied to a pillar, had tears in her eyes. From her position, she could just see Xu Mu on the screen.
Just a moment ago, she hated him to the core.
It was all this bastard Xu Mu's fault that she had been kidnapped here.
But seeing that Xu Mu really dared to come alone, her heart was filled with a bit of touch.
When Feng Yue heard that Xu Mu had arrived, there was actually a hint of jealousy in her heart.
Why did Xu Mu come to save her instead of herself?
Could it be just because Mu Qingying had bigger breasts?
Her own breasts were even bigger than hers!
...
"Hey hey hey! Kid, you're quite something. You really dared to come."
Jiu Zhi, holding an Ultraman mask, walked towards Xu Mu.
"I don't care who you are. No matter how much someone pays you, I'll pay double. Release Mu Qingying right away."
Xu Mu, with his hands in his pockets, said to Jiu Zhi.
"Sure enough, the young master of the Xu Group is really rich and generous. If Mu Qingying were really here, I'd definitely let her go."
Jiu Zhi had already come in front of Xu Mu at this time.
"What did you say? Mu Qingying isn't here?" Xu Mu frowned and asked.
"This place is just a trap to lure you here. Originally, I thought there would be a fierce battle, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to really come alone."
Jiu Zhi shook his head gently. "Your opponents aren't as stupid as you. You won't be able to leave here alive."
Xu Mu's face turned solemn. He was ready to use his martial arts skills at any time. They deliberately lured him here. It must be more than just a beating.
Lin Yang obviously intended to take his life.
"How much did they pay you? I'll give you five times that amount! As long as you help me save Mu Qingying, I'll promise you anything!"
As Xu Mu spoke, he had already opened his storage space. There was a Desert Eagle lying inside.
Anyway, the others couldn't see it. He opened it first so that he could take it out and attack at any time.
At this moment, on the other side, Mu Qingying was crying her eyes out.
He had said that Xu Mu wouldn't be able to leave alive, yet Xu Mu still wanted to save her.
Xu Mu was really annoying, but he must really care about her.
