Chapter 546 Becomes More Serious
"Su Ming, there's an urgent mission. Prepare immediately." Zheng Yaoxian's voice was as calm as ever, but Su Ming could tell there was a hint of urgency in his tone. "I'll send you the details. Leave immediately."
"Mission?" Su Ming's heartbeat accelerated unconsciously. He had just experienced that confusing conversation, and his mood was already heavy. Suddenly receiving Zheng Yaoxian's call, he couldn't help but feel some doubts. He already felt like he was being sucked into a huge vortex, and this mission might just be a part of it.
"Brother Zheng, what is the mission?" Su Ming's tone was a little hesitant. Although he knew that Zheng Yaoxian would not assign him a task casually, the situation tonight made him unable to calm down.
"I'll tell you the details once you get to the scene." Zheng Yaoxian's voice remained calm. "Are you ready?"
"I'm ready." Su Ming took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. Regardless, this mission had already arrived, and he couldn't avoid it. The doubts and anxieties in his heart were temporarily suppressed. He knew he had to move forward.
After hanging up the phone, Su Ming quickly gathered his gear, changed his clothes briefly, packed up his essentials, and hurriedly left his residence. The night wind outside was still biting, but Su Ming didn't care at the moment. His mind was already replaying Zheng Yaoxian's tone, and he began to speculate how this mission connected to everything he had experienced so far.
He reached the corner and stopped, a dark alley in front of him. The alley felt oppressive, as if every inch of the air was filled with unknown danger. Su Ming took a deep breath and stepped inside.
The alley was eerily quiet, only the sound of footsteps echoing in the stillness. Su Ming's mood grew heavier, his previous conversation with the man flashing through his mind, and doubt and unease washed over him once again. Who was that man? What was his connection to this mission? Why was it that every time he got closer to the truth, there was always a greater mystery waiting behind?
"Don't think too much, just complete the task first." Su Ming told himself silently, forcing himself to concentrate and forget about the unnecessary anxiety.
Walking out of the alley, he saw Zheng Yaoxian. Zheng Yaoxian was still calm, wearing a black coat, standing next to a car parked on the roadside, looking out the window into the distance, as if waiting for something.
"Brother Zheng." Su Ming walked forward with a low voice.
Zheng Yaoxian turned his head, looked at him, and nodded: "Coming." His tone was not talkative, as if everything was under his control.
"What is the mission?" Su Ming asked directly.
Zheng Yaoxian didn't answer immediately. Instead, he opened the car door and motioned for Su Ming to get in. The lights inside the car were dim, and the air was filled with a fresh scent. There was no one else in the car except Zheng Yaoxian and Su Ming.
"The specific content of the mission is very simple." Zheng Yaoxian finally spoke, his tone still calm, "You need to go somewhere and bring back something."
"What is it?" Su Ming couldn't help but ask.
"You don't need to know this." Zheng Yaoxian's eyes grew deep. "You just need to complete the task, and leave the rest to me."
Su Ming felt a surge of unease. Zheng Yaoxian's tone seemed calm, but he knew the more so, the more complex and dangerous the mission would become. His intuition told him that this mission wasn't as simple as Zheng Yaoxian had claimed.
"Where is the mission location?" He forced himself to calm down and continued to ask.
"I've already sent you the detailed address." Zheng Yaoxian's tone became a little hurried. "You'll receive it soon. Time is running out."
"Understood." Su Ming nodded. Although he still felt doubtful, he knew there was no time to ask further questions. The mission was his duty, and he was already accustomed to facing unexpected dangers.
The car started and slowly drove into the night. Su Ming watched the rapidly receding street scene outside the window, and a variety of questions surfaced in his mind. Zheng Yaoxian never assigned him tasks casually, and this mission seemed closely connected to his recent experience.
He couldn't help but recall the man's eyes and the words he'd spoken. Each word was like a sharp blade, piercing his inner peace. Su Ming couldn't help but wonder if he had been manipulated by some force, like a chess piece, moving along a trajectory set by others. And Zheng Yaoxian seemed to be a key figure in that chess game.
"What are you still thinking about?" Zheng Yaoxian suddenly broke Su Ming's silence, looking at him through the rearview mirror. His voice was calm but with a hint of coldness that could not be ignored.
"Nothing." Su Ming quickly collected his thoughts, forcing himself to focus on the task at hand. Although doubts still lingered in his heart, he knew there was no turning back. No matter how complex this game became, he had no choice but to keep going.
The car continued to drive, the night deepening, the street lights becoming sparse. Su Ming's heart remained heavy, his mind replaying Zheng Yaoxian's words, filled with doubt. What truth lay behind this mission? He began to wonder if he had become too trapped.
The car drove for a long time before finally stopping in a remote place. Zheng Yaoxian did not get out immediately, but turned to look at Su Ming, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Remember, this mission is very important." Zheng Yaoxian's tone became more serious. "You must proceed according to the plan. No accidents can happen."
The car stopped in front of a dilapidated warehouse. The surroundings were dim, surrounded by abandoned buildings and deserted streets. A cold wind blew through, carrying a hint of dust, giving people a sense of unease. Su Ming stood by the car door, feeling an inexplicable heaviness in his heart. This place seemed like a forgotten corner, and a certain danger lurked in the darkness.
After getting out of the car, Zheng Yaoxian walked towards the warehouse, his steps steady and resolute, as if he had already taken control of the place. Su Ming watched him from behind, unable to conceal a hint of unease. Zheng Yaoxian's demeanor remained calm, but beneath this composure, he felt a sense of oppression, as if he were battling an invisible monster, and he was constantly trapped within it.
He turned around and looked around, finding no one else in sight. The place was empty and silent, devoid of even a hint of life. His heartbeat seemed to accelerate, and every breath felt stifled, difficult to breathe. Everything that had happened before seemed to be closing in on him, and at this moment, he finally felt an unbearable tension and uneasiness.
