Chapter 52 The Two-Way Mirror in the Secret Room
As Li Tian left, countless thoughts surged through his mind, but revenge was not his top priority at that moment.
Although his hatred for Ali burned like a raging fire in his heart, he knew that acting impulsively would only bring more trouble and unpredictable consequences.
Therefore, he calmly instructed his subordinates to deliver an important message to Chongyang as soon as possible.
Time passed quietly, and when he learned that the Double Ninth Festival was approaching, Li Tian took a deep breath, picked up his pen, and began to write a letter.
His brushstrokes are heavy and firm, as if each word carries endless secrets and profound meanings.
The letter was concise and clear: "Want to know the truth? Then bring the people behind you, and meet me at the abandoned factory tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.
After finishing the letter, Li Tian gently blew on the ink to dry it, then carefully folded it and put it into an envelope.
He stared at the letter in his hand, his thoughts drifting, imagining Chongyang's reaction upon seeing it. Perhaps he would be shocked, confused, or even angry.
Regardless, Li Tian believes that this will uncover all the mysteries hidden behind the scenes and determine the final outcome of their grudges and affections.
Chongyang had just returned to Hua'an City when he received the letter. After quickly reading its contents, he hurriedly passed on the information contained within to Xu Yan.
After a brief but tense discussion, the two resolutely made a joint decision—to go and find out what Li Tian was up to!
Time flies by like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall. In the blink of an eye, Xu Yan led his men and Chongyang and the other two to their destination—the mysterious abandoned factory.
Just then, Chongyang, who was walking at the front, suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by in the roadside bushes.
This sudden discovery made his heart tighten, and a strong sense of vigilance instantly surged into his mind.
Xu Yan gestured to her companions behind her, signaling them to remain quiet and be on high alert.
Then, he cautiously crept towards the direction where the figure was hiding.
The others followed closely behind, weapons in hand, ready to deal with any potential dangers.
As they approached the patch of grass, the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.
Just as Chongyang was about to knock the man unconscious so he could interrogate him, something unexpected happened!
The person hiding in the bushes noticed their movements and looked up to meet Chongyang and the others' gazes.
In an instant, the whole world seemed to fall into a deathly silence, with only the rustling of the wind through the grass and the slightly hurried breathing of the crowd intertwined...
The man in black walked steadily towards the crowd with a calm expression.
He lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice, "Let's go! I'll take you in now. The truth you've been searching for is hidden behind this door. But once we're inside, remember not to make a single sound."
Xu Yan and her group felt a chill run down their spines and exchanged suspicious glances.
It should be noted that this man named Li Tian has always been unpredictable and eccentric, and this action is quite different from his usual style.
Could there be some hidden conspiracy or trap?
The man in black naturally noticed the doubt and distrust in their eyes, but at this moment he had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry out the task assigned to him by his superiors.
So he spoke again, urging, "If you are too afraid to take this step, you may never uncover the truth behind the matter in your lifetime."
Ultimately, intense curiosity outweighed concerns about potential trickery.
Xu Yan and the others gritted their teeth, exchanged glances, and as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, resolutely followed the man in black and walked towards the seemingly inconspicuous small cubicle inside the factory.
With each step they took, their hearts raced faster than ever before; none of them knew what awaited them...
Before long, after many twists and turns, they arrived at a mysterious secret room.
The door to the secret room was tightly shut, but when they gently pushed it open, a faint ray of light shone through the crack.
Upon entering the secret room, they discovered a huge two-way mirror.
One side of the mirror faces the outside world, while the other side leads into the sealed room.
Surprisingly, from this side of the secret chamber, one can see everything happening outside clearly; however, from the outside, it is pitch black and nothing can be seen.
Just then, the man in black who had been leading them silently stopped.
He quietly looked at the faces of Xu Yan and her group, his eyes revealing an inscrutable expression.
Then, he slowly turned around, preparing to leave the place.
But before leaving, he raised his hand and gently pointed to a corner.
Following the direction he pointed, Xu Yan and the others were surprised to find that there was actually an escape route hidden there.
The passage was narrow and dark, as if it led to an unknown depth.
Faced with this sudden discovery, Xu Yan and her group looked at each other in bewilderment, their hearts filled with doubt and surprise.
They couldn't understand why such a two-way mirror would exist here, nor could they comprehend why the man in black had brought them here and specifically pointed out that escape route.
A host of mysteries lingered in their minds, making them feel both excited and nervous.
However, the group did not have to wait long.
Not long after, Ali, Li Tian's burly and powerful subordinate, slowly walked into the room.
As soon as he entered the room, his gaze fell directly on the mirror in front of him, and he began to mutter to himself, "It'll be soon, it'll be soon..."
That face, which usually looked honest and kind, now appeared particularly ferocious and terrifying.
His originally plain features were twisted together, as if controlled by an evil force, sending chills down one's spine.
Especially his eyes, which were once clear as water but are now bloodshot, revealing a kind of madness and cunning that is chilling.
Upon receiving the message that the mission was complete, Li Tian revealed a crazed, wicked smile, clenched his fists, and turned to walk towards the laboratory.
He knew that Ali was there at that moment.
Pushing open the door, I saw Ali pretending to be busy with experimental data.
Seeing Li Tian come in, Ali gave a guilty smile: "Big brother, why are you here so early today?"
Li Tian didn't want to waste words. He stared at him coldly and said, word by word, "Ali, do you think what you've done will never be exposed?"
Ali's face turned deathly pale instantly, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Brother Tian, what do you mean by that?"
"Meng Xiaoyan told me everything. You killed her and even colluded with others to scatter her soul," Li Tian roared.
Ali remained calm and denied it, "Big brother, is someone trying to sow discord between us? I know Xiaoyan's death was a huge blow to you, but that happened so many years ago!"
