"Uncle Li Fan, where did he go?" Lu Rou curiously pointed at Li Fan's departing figure and cast a questioning glance at him. Although she didn't voice it, Wang Long certainly understood her meaning.
"Hehe," Wang Long chuckled inwardly as he watched Li Fan disappear from view. "I'm sorry, even though I don't want your family’s Second Miss to take risks, if I don't stir up some trouble for her, how could she possibly stay calm? I believe in the end, you'll forgive me, right?"
Li Fan made a mistake from the start; he thought that the only adventure was to follow that mysterious expert. However, he forgot that if he could capture the person left behind without alarming anyone, wouldn't that allow him to uncover a lot of the opponent's schemes from his higher status?
At this moment, Wang Long began to look at Lu Rou with the eyes of a wolf eyeing Little Red Riding Hood.
Though the night was deep, the cold mountain wind kept him sufficiently calm and alert, especially since he knew this trip to Nanhua City was of great significance and not to be taken lightly. It heightened his awareness to the fullest.
Even within the organization, he wasn't truly at the top level yet, but he was already considered a mid-level figure. His standing wasn't based on remarkable strength or intelligence but rather on absolute loyalty to the organization and a diligent attitude!
If this plan succeeded, they would no longer have to conduct their activities in secrecy; they could openly declare their stance and views to the world!
While he was feeling somewhat excited about this, a sudden warning sign arose in his heart. Although he couldn't see clearly yet, he was certain someone was approaching from a distance.
"Who is it?" He didn't think much of it. According to information from earlier in the day, while Nanhua City had strengthened its intelligence monitoring, it was limited to a small area. Recently, no merchant caravans dared to pass through here anymore. Coupled with the other party's bold demeanor, which showed no fear of being discovered, it should be one of their own.
A light flashed just in time to illuminate the path ahead; however, due to the angle at which the person approached, he still couldn't see their face clearly.
At that moment, the other party also directed a light toward him, further obscuring his vision.
Yet even then, he had no additional doubts—would an enemy boldly shine a light and expose themselves? What kind of assailant would be so foolish?
"I finally found you! Earlier I caught a little girl; the more I look at her, the more she resembles Second Miss Lu from Nanhua City. You know this place better than I do; come take a look."
Wang Long knew how to proceed calmly without any signs of tension. Although his words were vague, each sentence sounded as if they were quite familiar with each other, which further lowered his guard.
"What!" He was initially somewhat skeptical, but he was immediately shocked by this news from his "companion."
The Second Miss of the Lu Family!
The younger sister of the Lord of Nanhua City!
What does that represent!
His breath quickened, and through the corner of the light, he indeed saw that "companion" on the opposite side holding someone under his arm.
If they could really capture such an important figure this time, it would clearly give them a significant advantage when negotiating with Lu Feng! This would greatly benefit their organization, and they themselves would also gain immense credit!
For those of them with slightly weaker abilities, achieving merit on the battlefield is extremely rare!
"Quick, bring her over so I can take a look!" He really didn't know which rookie it was; before sending everyone out this time, they had clearly instructed everyone to memorize the intelligence they had gathered about Nanhua City. Now, to have captured such a heavyweight figure yet be unable to recognize her was truly humiliating!
But never mind, considering this guy's good luck, he could let it slide... huh?
As he was happily thinking to himself, he suddenly sensed something was off as the distance closed.
It seemed that under the bright light, the clothes he was wearing did not resemble their unified outfit for this mission at all!
"Wait! You stop right there!" A sense of vigilance rose again in his heart; he dared not be careless. After all, he couldn't let the other party get any closer until he confirmed their identity.
"What's wrong? We're wasting time here; hurry up and confirm her identity so we can report together!" Wang Long chuckled inwardly. He hadn't expected this guy to have decent vigilance; even in the face of such a significant achievement, he could still maintain some rationality.
However, if you had really stopped me when I first appeared, it would have been difficult for me to take you down. Now, it's too late!
"Stop right there!" Wang Long's words did not distract him; instead, he stared nervously at the approaching shadow. "If you dare to come any closer, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Attack!" Wang Long shouted, leading his men to charge forward, while the "prisoner" he had pinned at his waist also launched an attack.
"Brothers..." The opponent felt a surge of fear and instinctively sensed his danger. It seemed that even a single blow would be too much for him to withstand, and he wouldn't even have a chance to escape. He shouted desperately to warn his companions just as Wang Long suddenly accelerated, leaving an afterimage in mid-air, and his iron fist slammed into the opponent's stomach!
"Hah, that was easy to deal with?" Lu Rou, following closely behind, thought she finally had her chance to shine, but unexpectedly, Wang Long didn't give her any opportunity and subdued the opponent with a single strike.
How inconsiderate! Knowing that I enjoy this kind of thing, at least leave me a chance to show off!
As if sensing Lu Rou's thoughts, Wang Long kindly explained, "When doing something like a surprise attack, you must act quickly and decisively. You cannot give the opponent any chance to alert others or hold back at all. Otherwise, if the enemies stationed here discover our presence, not only will the value of the information we obtain be greatly diminished, but Li Fan, who is tracking us now, will also be in great danger. Do you understand?"
It was rare for Lu Rou to see Wang Long so serious in advising her; it was completely different from his usual demeanor. For some reason, seeing Wang Long's earnest expression combined with the natural aura of intimidation around him made Lu Rou feel a bit dazed!
Pfft! Dazed my foot! I am a woman who has lived for hundreds of years. Although I may seem a bit young in personality, I have had a "rich" life experience! How could I possibly like such a young man? — Although with Wang Long's current display of strength, Lu Rou couldn't quite determine his age.
Wang Long didn't have time to pay attention to her; he grabbed the mysterious figure and said, "Look at me."
"Uh?" After receiving Wang Long's heavy blow, although he wasn't dead, the powerful Thunder Element Power had left him charred on the outside and tender on the inside. His consciousness was now extremely hazy.
He lifted his eyes but couldn't focus at all.
"Let me try!" Seeing such a good "test subject," Lu Rou felt an itch to experiment again. "I've heard people talk about how to extract information from enemies using various techniques. Hehe, now I finally get to use it!"
Wang Long stepped back, drenched in sweat. Miss Lu Er truly had a "unique taste." She appeared innocent and carefree, but how could she be so interested in such matters?
Not to mention, Lu Feng, the City Lord, although exuding immense authority, was quite normal most of the time and could be considered a rather generous girl.
Wang Long suddenly realized he was getting sidetracked. Just as he was about to focus on Lu Rou's progress, a warning sign surged in his heart!
"Not good!" Wang Long rushed forward and grabbed Lu Rou by the waist, pulling her aside just as the enemy, who had already been subdued by Wang Long, erupted into a fiery blaze!
"Did other enemies discover us?" Lu Rou, lacking experience in combat, turned pale at the sight.
"No, it's something strange about him. It seems the opponent had planned this meticulously and tampered with his own people. As soon as he used what you call a technique, and if he lacked sufficient soul power to withstand it, he would self-destruct."
"What a ruthless technique!" Lu Rou had never heard of such things before. She now understood what her sister and Li Fan meant when they spoke of the dangers of the battlefield.
In terms of strength, she could easily overpower this enemy, but due to her lack of experience and failure to anticipate this move, she missed the chance that Wang Long had worked hard to create.
"I'm sorry; I shouldn't have pushed this situation earlier. If you had taken action yourself, this wouldn't have happened," Lu Rou said anxiously, almost in tears. After all, her mental age still reflected her youth. "How about... we go catch another one? This time I'll take action while you pick up the pieces. Consider it a way to repay you!"
"Uh..." Who said this girl was young at heart? Look at how clever she was!
