Luo Chen had just taken a step forward, but Wang Hu seemed to have expected it and leaned back.
The man in black was already an arrow at the end of its flight. With this dodge, the fatal attack missed.
The man in black clearly didn’t expect Wang Hu’s reaction to be so fast. After using all his strength, he was stunned for half a second.
Half a second would usually pass in an instant, but for people like them, half a second was enough to turn the situation around.
Wang Hu kicked out, and at this moment, Luo Chen arrived and kicked the man in black’s shoulder.
The forces on both sides collided almost at the same time.
The man in black let out a sharp roar and his entire body went limp.
The small blade landed on the ground and rolled twice before disappearing into the darkness, never to be found again.
Wang Hu was stunned at this moment. He looked at the door and then at the wide open bedroom door. His shoulders began to tremble slightly.
There was actually a hint of sadness in his blood-red eyes.
“Don’t panic. 1’11 get someone to help you find your daughter now. Isn’t it just the western suburbs? I’m familiar with that place.”
Luo Chen panted and tried his best not to look at the men in black lying on the ground.
With that, he took out his phone and contacted his bodyguards.
In order not to reveal too much information, he only said that he was looking for someone and didn’t tell them the inside story.
The captain of the bodyguards seemed to be used to receiving calls from Luo Chen in the middle of the night and agreed without a word.
While Luo Chen was making the call, Wang Hu had already tidied up the event location.
Luo Chen didn’t even see where he had hidden the men in black.
Wang Hu seemed to be very familiar with this process.
“Don’t be anxious. My people have already started searching. They shouldn’t do anything to your daughter, right? It’s more likely that they’ll use her to force you to appear.”
Luo Chen held his cell phone and comforted him dryly.
“Yeah.”
Wang Hu replied perfunctorily and slowly began to pack his belongings.
Luo Chen watched helplessly as he wore a long trench coat and kept his scattered weapons close to his body. Excluding firearms, there were all sorts of other weapons.
Even though Luo Chen thought that he had seen the world, this scene still broadened his horizons.
“Who exactly are you?”
Instinctively, this sentence slipped out.
Wang Hu acted as if he didn’t hear anything and continued to pack his things.
Luo Chen held his forehead helplessly.
Originally, he thought that he only needed to think of a way to cure Wang Hu’s daughter’s illness to successfully obtain his loyalty and complete the mission to return home. But now, it seemed that things were much more complicated than he had expected.
However, what puzzled him was that there didn’t seem to be such a step in the plot.
Lin Tian had only used a prescription. Why was it so troublesome for him!
“Black Knights.”
After Wang Hu finished packing, he suddenly said this.
Luo Chen was stunned.
Then, he realized that this should be the reply to his last question.
“Black Knights? Is that the name of your organization?”
Luo Chen thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
“It’s not ours. We… can’t be considered members. There are only seven real members.”
At this moment, Wang Hu completely turned around and stared fixedly at Luo Chen. He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn’t seem to say it.
“Do you need my help? Let’s go now.”
Luo Chen didn’t continue to dwell on this question.
He had no interest in being a savior.
In any case, his goal was to complete the mission. What kind of organization the Black Knights were had nothing to do with him.
Their existence was reasonable. Their organization had already existed for so long. It was impossible for him to destroy it, right?
Moreover, based on the current situation, only Wang Hu had accepted the mission to assassinate him. Now, everyone had an unspoken mutual understanding that this assassination mission was over.
If there was really any trouble in the future, it should be Wang Hu’s trouble. It had nothing to do with him.
Wang Hu kept looking at Luo Chen steadily for a long time, the emotions on his face complicated.
At the very least, Luo Chen felt that being able to read the expression on his scarred face meant that Wang Hu was extremely agitated at this moment.
“Let’s go.”
In the end, Wang Hu didn’t say anything else. He turned around and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Luo Chen hurriedly followed.
His bodyguard team had already been mobilized. There was only so much space in the western suburbs. If what the man in black said just now was not fake, they could use the human wave tactic to find the girl.
It would be even better if they could find them through the surveillance cameras!
At the thought of this, he temporarily stopped Wang Hu and called his secretary.
After the secretary was woken up and heard his request, she was silent for a long time before agreeing.
“It has to be fast. Take a look at the surveillance cameras at all the major intersections. Do it, at all costs.”
Luo Chen reminded again.
They naturally did not have the authority to look at the traffic cameras, but from this position to the western suburbs, the road was still considered busy. At most, they would spend more money to contact the merchants and check some private cameras by the roadside.
They might even be able to ask for information.
“Yes, Young Master.”
The secretary yawned and agreed.
After hanging up, Luo Chen saw Wang Hu staring at him with a very strange expression.
It was as if he had a stomach full of words but could not organize them.
“Let’s go. It’s getting late. We’ll be able to obtain definite news by noon at the latest.”
Luo Chen was a little puzzled, but he didn’t take it to heart and was about to leave.
“Thank you.”
Wang Hu said this behind Luo Chen, his voice so low that only he could hear it.
However, Luo Chen’s lips curled up slightly.
His five senses were much sharper than others, so he naturally heard it clearly, but he pretended not to hear anything.
As expected, after Wang Hu finished speaking, he pretended that nothing had happened and followed Luo Chen.
The two of them went out. It was dark before dawn, and the darkness pressed down.
This place was remote to begin with, and the street lamps were like decorations.
Looking around, there was an indescribable sense of danger hidden in the thick darkness.
“Looks like we came out a little early.”
Luo Chen said meaningfully as he took two steps back.
He had been busy all night and had yet to rest. He really didn’t want to make a move now. Moreover, these people should be here for Wang Hu.
Presumably, with Wang Hu’s current mood, he also wanted a sandbag to vent his anger.
As expected, in the next second, rustling footsteps came from the fork..
