Chapter 503 Hold your breath
"What? Do you want to take action?" the man asked calmly, as if he didn't care about Su Ming's anger at all.
"I don't want to waste time," Su Ming gritted his teeth. He stared at the man intently, a strong intuition in his heart telling him that his identity was far more complicated than he had imagined. The other party had clearly come prepared and was extremely familiar with this situation.
"Wasting time?" The man paused, his eyes flashing as he revealed a playful smile. "You do know what you want to do, but do you think you can find the answer so easily?"
Su Ming's eyebrows raised, his heart suddenly alert, and his body almost instinctively glanced around. The man's words made him feel a little uneasy, as if what he was about to face was far more complicated than the current situation.
"What do you know?" Su Ming asked in a low voice, trying his best to sound calm, but he could not hide his inner anxiety.
"Do you think you're in control of the situation?" the man sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. "In fact, you've always been a puppet, and all your actions have been manipulated to perfection."
Su Ming's heart suddenly tightened, and he almost instantly realized the deeper meaning behind the man's words. His previous suspicions seemed to be well-founded. He and Zheng Yaoxian might indeed be being manipulated by some unseen force, and behind all this was the so-called "Shadow Operation."
"Who are you?" Su Ming asked through gritted teeth, his eyes blazing with rage. What on earth was this man playing at? Why had he been kept in the dark from beginning to end?
The man seemed amused by Su Ming's anger and shook his head slightly. "You are only deceiving yourself now. The true truth is far beyond your comprehension."
"I don't believe it!" Su Ming responded coldly, "I don't believe your so-called truth. Anyway, no matter what, I must take Yaoxian alive!"
"Oh?" The man seemed to have heard something interesting, and a scornful smile appeared on his lips. "Do you think you can survive? Do you think you can change anything?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ming felt a sharp chill, as if an invisible force was quietly approaching. It felt like being trapped in a silent trap, surrounded by darkness on all sides, and every choice he made could lead him to death.
Su Ming's heartbeat was already accelerating. His intuition told him that this mysterious man before him was no simple enemy. Whatever he intended to do, there must be a deeper plot behind it. And right now, he didn't have time to dwell on this complex situation. He needed to make a decision quickly and not be trapped by the intimidation before him.
"If you think you can scare me, you're totally wrong," Su Ming said calmly, a sharp glint in his eyes. He knew that at this moment, he had to take control of the situation.
The man seemed slightly stunned, his smile not fading at all, but instead showing a hint of disdain. "You do have some backbone, but this kind of backbone... is futile in front of me."
Su Ming didn't say much. He suddenly turned and quickly walked towards the other corner of the factory building, as if he was ready to give up the confrontation with the man and divert his attention. The man obviously didn't catch up immediately. He just stood there, seemingly observing Su Ming's movements, his eyes full of provocation and contempt.
Su Ming's steps were slow and steady, yet within him, a turbulent sea surged. He knew full well that his actions were part of a play, a plot of his own. Though outwardly calm, his thoughts raced like a galloping horse, instantly transforming into detailed plans and deductions.
He was making the most crucial decision—he couldn't let this mysterious man lead him by the nose. He knew the enemy didn't rely solely on force; they possessed powerful strategies and strategies. Every detail could determine his life or death. At this moment, all he could do was to extricate himself from this situation and seize every opportunity to escape.
An idea suddenly emerged in his mind - to cooperate with the outside forces. Although the enemy before him had made thorough preparations, he believed that no matter what, he would be able to find a breakthrough in this confrontation.
"Do you think I will let you go easily?" Su Ming stopped in a corner of the factory and looked back at the man with deep eyes and a hint of calm confidence.
"What can you do?" the man replied coldly, his tone filled with contempt for Su Ming, as if he had anticipated his actions. "No matter how you resist, it will be futile."
"In vain?" Su Ming's lips curled up into a smile. "You are wrong. I am not resisting. I am setting a trap."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly turned and rushed in one direction. The man was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Su Ming's sudden action, and froze in his place. In the moment he hesitated, Su Ming had already disappeared into the darkness of the factory.
His heart pounded as he walked rapidly. Su Ming knew that his actions, though seemingly hasty, were actually exploiting the opponent's negligence, finding an opportunity to seize control of the situation. Every step forward felt like walking on a seemingly fragile tightrope; the slightest misstep could lead to a fall into the abyss.
He quickly moved around the familiar environment of the factory, constantly adjusting his position to ensure that the enemy could not easily track his whereabouts. At this time, his eyes were no longer focused solely on the pursuers behind him, but began to look for some forgotten clues - those details that had been overlooked might be the key to turning the tide.
After a few minutes, he finally found a hidden passageway. It was a backup exit from the factory, rarely used on weekdays. This was a place he had noticed during his investigations, a hidden path leading to the outside world. Although abandoned, it wasn't completely blocked off. At this moment, Su Ming felt a subtle feeling in his heart—perhaps this was the turning point for his counterattack.
He stood quietly at the entrance, holding his breath, trying not to make any noise that would attract the enemy's attention. An idea was brewing in his heart - even the most cautious people would always miss something, and he was going to exploit these small gaps to create a glimmer of hope.
"Now, start." Su Ming said softly, his tone full of determination.
He quickly disappeared down the passage, heading toward the other end of the exit. At the end of the passage, a rusty iron gate suddenly appeared, clearly unopened for a long time. As Su Ming approached, his eyes never left his surroundings, a plan already forming in his mind. He didn't intend to go directly through the main gate, but rather to use this opportunity to distract the enemy and cause confusion.
