C257 A Bureau

"Are there any stairs?"

Tang Rou was still quite careful. After all, this type of elevator might have cameras or something.

The middle-aged man immediately pointed at a metal door at the side.

"This staircase is for emergency use. It's not used in normal times."

After Tang Rou and I arrived, we brought that man upstairs. According to the man, the boss, Zhao Haitian, should be on the left side of the second floor.

When I arrived, I had already carefully observed that the room on the far left of the second floor had the largest window and it was always lit.

I don't know why, but when I walked up to the second floor's corridor, I felt a bit uneasy. However, it was too late to call her off.

He could only secretly hide the Life Severing Blade in his sleeve and secretly make his preparations.

I didn't meet with anything along the way and headed to the entrance of the room. At this moment, the middle-aged man gave me a probing look.

"Knock on the door."

Tang Rou softly said.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and knocked on the door a few times.

"Come in."

The voice of the man speaking in the room was very similar to the one on the phone. It should be that Zhao Haitian.

The middle-aged man was pushed by Tang Rou and opened the door. The light in the room was quite gentle. When the three of us rushed in together, I saw a dignified man sitting behind the desk.

The man looked to be in his thirties or forties, full of energy. He was holding a cigar in his hand without raising his head.

However, this person was emitting a faint aura of a big shot. He was definitely not just some real estate agent.

My uneasiness grew. I quickly took a closer look at the layout of the room and closed the door before locking it from the inside.

"Boss, I've brought the person here for you."

The words of the middle-aged man immediately made me nervous. The Life Death Blade in my hand immediately grabbed onto the middle-aged man's neck.

The fear in his eyes had long since disappeared and was replaced with mockery and craftiness.

My scalp went numb. After thinking about it, I've been tricked by Tang Rou. This old guy had planned on scheming against me from the start. Most of what she said to Tang Rou was probably fake.

Tang Rou was also somewhat panicked, but her hands weren't slow. She immediately understood what was going on and threw herself at the man behind the desk.

"You'd better stand there obediently, or else your head will be pierced in the next second."

The man who had his head lowered the entire time to cut his cigar coldly spoke. In addition, he seemed to have calculated it beforehand. Tang Rou didn't dare to move forward. Even now, she still hadn't raised her head.

I discovered a red dot of light floating in from outside the window. At this moment, that dot of light was shining on Tang Rou's face.

"Don't move."

Even though I haven't seen much of the world, I know what that red dot of light represents. In the past, when I carried out missions with those mercenaries, their weapons were equipped with this kind of infrared sight.

That dot of light indicated that somewhere outside the window, someone was pointing a gun at Tang Rou. If Tang Rou acted rashly, she would be immediately shot through.

My luck has been terrible recently. Why is every encounter so troublesome?

Do you really want me to risk my life?

This time, Tang Rou and I fell into someone else's trap. That person had been waiting for us here since the start, so it's no wonder that man was so calm. He was even able to track us down along the way.

"You two sure are bold. You actually broke into my place. I really wonder how you two were discovered?"

At this moment, the man finally raised his head. From his appearance, this man should be one of the fierce ones. I don't know if it was due to Luo Yuan's poor looks, but I could see his character and aura.

This man was definitely one of those cruel and merciless type. If there was an opportunity, he would definitely be able to seize it and quickly ascend to the next rank.

"You're Zhao Haitian?"

Tang Rou stood where she was with her chest rising and falling slightly. I knew that this girl was probably very nervous right now. However, we also know that what we need the most right now is to be able to remain calm. The red dot of light on our body is still gently swaying, making the two of us not dare to act rashly.

"That's right, I am indeed Zhao Haitian. There was once someone who told me that if you want others to believe your lies, then you must first lay down seven or eight truths, or even always tell the truth. Only then will you be able to make them turn careless, and then, fall for it."

The man had a lecturing tone. His eyes looked at Tang Rou, then looked at me. At this moment, the middle-aged man, who was originally under my control, raised his hand and took the Life Death Blade from my hand. He walked towards Zhao Haitian, then picked up the exquisite lighter on the table and slowly lit up a cigar.

"Which phone was exposed?"

Tang Rou immediately made her judgement. I also felt that the possibility of it happening was very high because from start to finish, the middle-aged man and Zhao Haitian only had a few words to say to each other.

However, I didn't know what had gone wrong. At that time, it was only a few simple words.

"Girl, you're quite smart, and I'm very interested in your identities."

Zhao Haitian inhaled deeply and exhaled a large cloud of smoke.

"This is my most loyal subordinate, and also my second uncle. Normally, he would call me by my name and wouldn't call me Old Master."

Hearing this, I finally understood that the middle-aged man was not the butler. Perhaps he really was the butler, but his reaction was very fast. From the start of the call, he had used a title to attract Zhao Haitian's attention, and what he had done was a rather secretive matter, so Zhao Haitian would naturally be prepared for it. Furthermore, the two of them had a tacit understanding between each other, and Zhao Haitian immediately predicted that the middle-aged man would bring him back.

This time, it wasn't wrong.
