Chapter 456 People outside are waiting for you too
At this moment, the men in black standing in front had obviously noticed Su Ming's reaction. Their eyes were full of cunning and shrewdness, as if they had already seen through Su Ming's intentions.
"You're still too late." One of the men in black smiled with a hint of contempt. "We knew you would find out."
Su Ming's lips curled up slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He didn't panic, but instead sighed softly and said in a low voice, "So you're not just staring at me, you're also staring at my every reaction."
The enemy seemed to have not expected him to remain so calm. The man in black was slightly stunned, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes. "You are so clear about the situation, you must have known about it a long time ago, right?"
"Got it?" Su Ming's lips curled up into a faint smile. "You are indeed well prepared, but the more prepared you are, the easier it is to reveal flaws."
Before he finished speaking, he quickly pulled out a dagger hidden behind his back. In an instant, he disappeared from his position and quickly pounced in a hidden direction. Almost at the same time, he had already set up several different escape routes in his mind, ready to choose the most advantageous one at any moment.
The enemies at the back door seemed to have noticed Su Ming's sudden movement and immediately began to quickly adjust their formation. However, Su Ming had already predicted their reaction and his steps were as swift as a ghost, almost silent.
Su Ming's heart trembled, and his steps paused slightly. In that moment, it felt as if the air froze. He knew the situation was becoming increasingly tense, and that every second of delay could mean some disastrous outcome. But at this moment, the sudden appearance of a voice caused a subtle sense of confusion.
It’s Zheng Yaoxian.
Su Ming's expression remained unchanged, his face as stern as ever. However, deep within him, a complex, inexplicable emotion suddenly surged. This change of emotions was so rapid that he barely had time to process them. Zheng Yaoxian's appearance was completely unexpected.
He knew Zheng Yaoxian's identity, the power and resources he represented, and that he always acted decisively, tolerant of any accidents or incidents. But now, this accident had already occurred. Su Ming's lips curled up slightly, but in his heart he was thinking: What does Zheng Yaoxian's arrival mean?
After a few seconds of blankness, Su Ming quickly adjusted the trajectory of his thoughts - the most important thing at the moment was not to fall into unnecessary emotional fluctuations, but to calmly deal with this sudden situation.
Zheng Yaoxian slowly emerged from the shadows behind him. His black coat, resolute gaze, and familiar presence instantly made Su Ming realize that his arrival wasn't accidental.
"I didn't expect you to be here." Su Ming's voice remained calm, his tone lacking any surprise, instead carrying a nonchalant air that suggested he had anticipated it. Regardless of Zheng Yaoxian's purpose in appearing here, Su Ming knew that this situation was no longer simply a confrontation between the enemy and himself.
Zheng Yaoxian stood to one side of the dark alley. He didn't respond immediately, but walked straight towards Su Ming. Each step he took carried an undeniable calmness, as if each step was in step with the rhythm of time, making the air around them stagnate.
"Do you think you can control everything in this situation?" Zheng Yaoxian finally spoke. His voice was low and emotionless, but it was impossible to ignore the deep meaning contained in it.
Su Ming tilted his head slightly, carefully observing Zheng Yaoxian's every move and every breath. Facing Zheng Yaoxian, his heart remained unwavering. He knew that Zheng Yaoxian was not only the source of his current troubles, but also the true mastermind behind many situations. Zheng Yaoxian's appearance signaled that everything Su Ming had experienced might be undergoing a drastic change.
"I've never thought I could 'control' anything," Su Ming said calmly, a hint of provocation in his voice. "However, perhaps you think I'm a little 'overestimating my own abilities'."
Zheng Yaoxian didn't show any displeasure. Instead, he smiled faintly and surveyed Su Ming. "You truly overestimate your abilities," he said in a casual tone, yet a subtle threat lingered. "You believe you hold the initiative in this game, but in reality, you're simply being guided step by step towards a certain outcome."
Su Ming's heart trembled slightly. He knew Zheng Yaoxian wasn't one to speak casually. Every word he spoke was carefully calculated, and every word held a profound meaning. A seemingly casual remark could conceal a profound threat.
But Su Ming wasn't frightened by the threat. He took a deep breath and smiled softly. "Lead me to the end? Do you think I'll really take that bait?"
A sharp glint flashed in Zheng Yaoxian's eyes. He didn't seem surprised by Su Ming's response, but rather interested. "You're very smart," he said in a gentle, yet oppressive tone. "But smart people often make mistakes because of their intelligence."
At this moment, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged in Su Ming's heart. He vaguely realized that Zheng Yaoxian was not just talking about his strategy, but seemed to be hinting at some impending change. That change was enough to make his current situation completely uncontrollable.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Su Ming frowned slightly, his eyes sharp, his tone tinged with impatience. He didn't like being seen through, but facing Zheng Yaoxian, he knew he couldn't let his guard down. Behind every word Zheng Yaoxian said, there seemed to be a deep mystery, and sooner or later, these mysteries would become obstacles in his path.
Zheng Yaoxian sighed softly, his eyes becoming penetrating. "There's no need to act so calm. I know you've noticed the situation outside." He paused, as if to confirm Su Ming's reaction, before continuing, "It's not just me. The people outside are waiting for you too."
Su Ming's heart tightened as he finally understood what Zheng Yaoxian was referring to: those outside—those pursuers he had thought he had escaped, now closing in. A net had been set, and he was merely the prey caught in it.
"You don't really think that I will continue to give you chances, do you?" Zheng Yaoxian's words contained some kind of unspoken threat, but also an innate calmness.
"Chance?" Su Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of sneer on his lips, "Do you think that if you give me a chance, I will obey you?"
