Chapter 499 The Secret of Late Night
Chapter 499 The Secret of Late Night
As night falls and the lights come on, the city's neon lights flicker in the moist air, like countless pairs of prying eyes in the night.
A dim light shone from a black car at the corner of the street, forming a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle outside.
Inside the car, two young men sat opposite each other, the atmosphere was subtle and tense.
"Achen, do you know? In this complicated world, you are like a pure and flawless white lotus. I can't help but want to protect you in my palm."
Lin Yuan's voice was low and magnetic, and his warm breath gently sprayed on Su Chen's ears, with a hint of irresistible charm.
He slowly stretched out his arms, hugged Su Chen tightly in his arms, rested his chin on the top of his head, and rubbed it gently, as if this could wipe away all the uneasiness in Su Chen.
Su Chen's body trembled slightly, not because of fear, but because Lin Yuan's sudden intimacy made him a little overwhelmed.
He lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyelids, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes.
He said softly, "Lin Yuan, I know you're worried, but I can't live under your protection forever. I also want to see the wonders of this world."
Lin Yuan frowned slightly upon hearing this, but then relaxed his brows. He comforted Su Chen in his own way: "Exciting? This world is indeed full of temptations and excitement, but it also hides countless dangers and traps. Ah Chen, your innocence and kindness are exactly what those with ill intentions covet. Believe me, I won't let you get hurt."
As he spoke, Lin Yuan pursed his lips and spread out the palm of his left hand in front of Su Chen.
In the palm of his hand was a neatly folded small card with an unfamiliar address and a line of tiny words printed on it - "Secret of the Late Night".
Su Chen raised his head in confusion, his eyes meeting Lin Yuan's deep eyes, as if he was about to be sucked in.
"What is this?" Su Chen's voice trembled slightly, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Lin Yuan's eyes turned cold and determined. He opened his thin lips and said, "This is an underground organization I recently discovered. They specialize in deceiving innocent and kind-hearted young people like you. I can't let you take any risks, so I decided to personally resolve this hidden danger."
Su Chen panicked when he heard this. He tightly grasped Lin Yuan's hand, trying to stop him: "No, Lin Yuan, you can't go! It's too dangerous! Let's call the police!"
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with unquestionable determination. "Call the police? Those guys are very cunning, and it's hard for the police to catch them. Besides, I can't let you get implicated in any way. I have to handle this matter myself."
After saying that, Lin Yuan lowered his head and gently kissed Su Chen on the cheek. The kiss was filled with endless tenderness and reluctance.
He hugged Su Chen into his arms again, his voice low and firm: "Achen, you must be obedient and stay at home until I come back. I will take care of everything and then take you to see the most beautiful scenery in the world."
Su Chen's eyes were moist, and he hugged Lin Yuan tightly, as if he wanted to engrave this moment in his heart forever.
He knew that no one could change Lin Yuan's decision, so he could only pray silently, praying that Lin Yuan would return safely.
As the night deepened, Lin Yuan drove towards the unfamiliar address.
Outside the car window, the light of the street lamps became hazy and blurred in the rain, as if foreshadowing the impending unknown and danger.
The destination was an abandoned warehouse, surrounded by weeds, and the dilapidated iron door creaked in the night wind.
Lin Yuan parked the car far away and approached the target on foot.
He was wearing a black tights and a half-mask on his face, revealing only his deep eyes and tightly pursed thin lips, like a ghost in the night.
Inside the warehouse, under dim lights, a group of scantily clad young men and women were sitting around a long table filled with all kinds of wine glasses and drugs.
Their faces were filled with excitement and crazy smiles, as if they were completely immersed in this world of decadence and extravagance.
Lin Yuan sneaked into the warehouse silently. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle and he quickly locked onto the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat.
The man was fat and had a face full of flesh. He was proudly showing off his "achievements" to everyone.
"Hmph, another innocent soul is about to fall into my hands." The middle-aged man's words were full of pride and arrogance.
A hint of coldness flashed across Lin Yuan's eyes. He slowly walked towards the middle-aged man and said in a low and powerful voice, "Are you the mastermind behind the deception of this young man?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Lin Yuan with a disdainful smile on his face. "Hey, what brings you here? However, I advise you to mind your own business, otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
Lin Yuan ignored his threats and continued to approach, his voice as cold as ice: "Tell me, how many people have you deceived in total? Where are their whereabouts?"
Seeing this, the middle-aged man's face turned ferocious. He slammed the table, stood up, and shouted loudly: "Boy, you are looking for death!"
Lin Yuan dodged the opponent's attack with a flash of lightning, knocking down several of the middle-aged man's men in a few moves.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man knew that he had encountered a master and turned around to try to escape.
However, Lin Yuan had already seen through his intentions. He took a step forward and grabbed his collar.
"Will you tell me or not?" Lin Yuan's eyes showed determination.
The middle-aged man trembled and said, "I said, I said, I have strongholds in various places, and those who were deceived are imprisoned there."
Lin Yuan got the answer he wanted and let go of the middle-aged man.
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number: "Action."
A moment later, several police cars came roaring in and the police quickly surrounded the warehouse.
The middle-aged man and his men were arrested one by one, and this evil activity was finally exposed.
Lin Yuan looked at everything in front of him, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
He knew that there was more darkness waiting for him to uncover...
