The sound of a car engine could be heard. Black Snake’s men were searching for Lin Yi in the city.

On the other side, Lin Yi was running for his life through the city.

His thoughts were simple. It was no longer safe to stay in the city. He had to think of a way to escape from the small city so that no one could catch him.

After running at full speed for more than half an hour, Lin Yi’s stamina was declining.

He was trying to persevere, but he suddenly heard shouts and the sound of engines elsewhere.

Seeing that the situation was worsening, Lin Yi turned around and hid in an alley.

He climbed to an outdoor balcony on the second floor.

The moment he heard the shouts, the owner of the house had woken up. Now that he was seeing a stranger in the house, he could not help but scream loudly.

However, Lin Yi didn’t give him a chance to expose his location. He placed a palm on his neck and knocked him out.

Through this, he obtained a short breather.

After dealing with the owner of the house, Lin Yi walked towards the living room.

The living room was facing the street. Lin Yi gently lifted the curtains and glanced outside.

He saw three off-road vehicles and dozens of people searching for his traces.

However, the people in front of him had changed appearances. They were no longer the same group of people as before. Instead, they were all Meiguon soldiers.

Lin Yi panted heavily. He found a box of cigarettes on the dining table and lit one nervously to calm himself down.

Without a doubt, Zhou Liang had already been captured.

Lin Yi couldn’t be sure if he was dead or alive.

But what he could not figure out was why his location had been exposed while hiding here.

When he sent the news to Liang Ruoxu, she would probably tell Lu Beichen accurately and not let the mole know anything.

So why was he still exposed?

Could it the problem not lie with them?

Lin Yi took a deep puff of his cigarette and calmly analyzed the situation before him.

There were two groups of people in the city. One was the Black Snake Organization, and the other was the Meiguons.

This combination allowed Lin Yi to deduce some clues.

When he was chatting with Lu Beichen previously, he knew that the Meiguons were secretly working with these people from overseas.

The goal was to get the ore and carry out more scientific research.

But where did they get the information?

After thinking about it, Lin Yi didn’t believe that the mole had exposed his information.

Liang Ruoxu had grown up in the courtyard. Even though she had never experienced something like this before, she had been influenced by this life since he was young and knew how to deal with this matter.

An old fox like Lu Beichen would not have any problems with such matters.

Therefore, the problem might have appeared elsewhere, but he just did not know where yet.

Lin Yi would never have thought that his whereabouts would be revealed by that seemingly harmless couple!

It was because they had called the police that the authorities suspected dangerous individuals were involved and reported the incident to the national security department.

Due to this, Lin Yi’s whereabouts were exposed.

A thousand-mile dyke was destroyed by an anthill; Lin Yi had thought his plan was flawless but never anticipated facing setbacks here.

From time to time, shouts could be heard from outside.

Lin Yi couldn’t quite make out what they were saying but gathered that they were calling for increased search efforts.

Despite this, Lin Yi did not panic. He didn’t believe these people could find him in a short time.

However, even with this confidence, he couldn’t calm his mind.

Zhou Liang had been taken, and he had no idea what would happen next.

Whenever he thought about it, he couldn’t find peace. It felt as if he were trapped in an ice cave, shivering uncontrollably, unable to stop trembling.

In a warehouse in Chepopur City, Zhou Liang was tied to a chair.

Dark red blood seeped out of the gauze on his right leg and spread to his calf.

Two bright searchlights were aimed at Zhou Liang’s eyes.

There were more than ten people standing in the warehouse. They were armed as they stood on both sides of him.

Opposite Zhou Liang stood a man in a brown camouflage suit. He was very tall and had a well-proportioned figure. His hair was a little messy, but there was a hint of wildness and ruthlessness to him.

The man’s name was Grillo, and he was the person in charge of the Black Snake Operations Team.

During this time, all the battles that had taken place within Panem involving the Black Snake organization were under his command.

“Huaxian, lift your head,” said Grillo.

Zhou Liang kept his head half-lowered, motionless, without any reaction.

At that moment, the person standing behind Grillo walked over to Zhou Liang, punched him in the chest, grabbed his hair, and forced his face toward the nearby spotlight.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Zhou Liang coughed a few times. The blinding light made his tears flow.

“Huaxian, where did you hide the ore?” Grillo asked.

“I don’t know. It’s useless even if you ask me,” Zhou Liang said intermittently.

“If you think you’re so awesome, just kill me. It’s no big deal.”

“I know. The ore must be with your partner. That’s why I want to know where he is. I hope you can help us find him. I, Grillo, promise that you will go home alive.”

“Do you think that’s possible?” Zhou Liang sneered.

“I already said that I’m not afraid of death. Why would I do such a thing?”

Grillo tapped his ears impatiently and raised his head at his subordinate.

The latter understood what he meant. He held the gun in his hand and smashed it fiercely at Zhou Liang’s thigh!

“All!”

A heart-wrenching scream came from the warehouse.

Zhou Liang’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke. His face turned pale and he almost fainted.

The blood on the gauze dripped down.

“We only want the goods, and we don’t want to kill anyone, but only if you cooperate with me. Otherwise, I don’t mind killing you,” Grillo said.

“I, I…”

Zhou Liang’s consciousness was no longer clear, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.

“I’ve already said that I don’t know anything… You can’t get anything out of me…”

Grillo waved his hand, signaling the people below to continue.

At this moment, another person came over. Just like the previous person, he held a weapon in his hand and smashed it on Zhou Liang’s right leg every time.

This action lasted for a few minutes until he fainted.

‘Wake him up and carry on,’ said Grillo.

Soon, a large bucket of water was poured over Zhou Liang’s head.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Zhou Liang felt as if he was drowning. He coughed violently a few times, but the pain in his leg had already numbed him. He felt nothing at this time.

He panted heavily, his eyes empty and lifeless.

“Huaxian, are you still not going to speak? There’s really no need for you to persevere. Nothing is more important than your life.”

Zhou Liang did not respond. He was like a walking corpse.

Grillo shook his head and said to his subordinate,

“Let’s try something else. He’s probably not afraid of pain anymore.”
