After going down the mountain, the beautiful CEO chased me

Chen Ming took the notebook and flipped through a few pages. He saw that it was densely filled with the names of various herbs, their proportions, and some illegible symbols and notes.

This surprised Chen Ming, and he immediately planned to take Li Hao away from here.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared.

"Who?"

Chen Ming turned around abruptly, and the flashlight instantly illuminated the person who came. He saw a mysterious man in tight black clothes, his face hidden in the shadow of a hood, standing silently at the door, his sharp eyes flashing coldly in the darkness.

Chen Ming quickly protected Li Hao behind him and stared at the uninvited guest vigilantly.

Li Hao suddenly panicked and was as nervous as a mouse seeing a cat.

"It's them, they are the killers!"

Li Hao's voice trembled, and he almost used all his strength to squeeze out these words.

Chen Ming's heart tightened as well. He knew very well that the current situation did not allow him to underestimate the enemy.

He held the flashlight tightly in his hand. Although the light was weak, it became his only weapon and line of defense at the moment.

The mysterious man did not take action immediately, but slowly took a step forward. His footsteps were so light that they seemed weightless, and each step stepped on Chen Ming's tense nerves.

"Chen Ming, you are here as expected."

A deep and magnetic voice came from under the hood. Although it was deliberately disguised, a familiar outline could still be heard.

Chen Ming frowned and tried hard to search his memory for the owner of the voice, but to no avail.

"Who are you? Why do you know my name?"

He asked in a deep voice, secretly observing his surroundings, looking for a possible escape route.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that the notebook in your hand is something we are determined to obtain."

The mysterious man slowly raised his hand, and his fingers gently stroked the air, as if drawing some invisible pattern.

"Zhou Botong's ancient prescription is the key to changing the world for some people. And you are just a pawn that happened to be involved."

Chen Ming sneered and held the notebook tightly to his chest.

But he also suspected that the other party was not a mysterious person in the true sense.

He thought he came for the ancient medicine prescription, but the other party didn't know what he really wanted.

"The key to changing the world? I think it's just an excuse for your greed. I won't let you succeed."

As he spoke, he quietly backed away, trying to find an opportunity to rush out of the study with Li Hao.

However, the mysterious man seemed to have anticipated their intentions, and he flashed and blocked their way in an instant.

"Don't waste your energy. You can't get away."

His words were full of unquestionable confidence. At the same time, the lights in the room suddenly went out, and everything fell into darkness.

Chen Ming and Li Hao looked at each other and saw panic and determination in each other's eyes.

They huddled together, standing back to back.

The next second, two men appeared. They were obviously professional killers.

Li Hao took a deep breath and tried to calm his heartbeat.

In the face of absolute darkness and the unknown, fear will only become a shackle that binds them.

As if he noticed Li Hao's nervousness, he whispered some instructions to Li Hao.

"Don't be afraid, we have to find a way to outsmart them. Remember to stay calm."

Li Hao nodded. Although his body was still shaking slightly, there was more determination in his eyes.

The two exchanged glances in tacit understanding and decided to stand back to back, using each other as blind spots to minimize the area of ​​attack.

In the darkness, the only sounds that could be heard were the three people's gentle breathing and the occasional rustling of clothes.

Various coping strategies flashed quickly through Chen Ming's mind, but each one seemed to have insurmountable obstacles.

Just then, he noticed that there seemed to be a faint light in the corner of the wall. It was the moonlight shining through the gap in the window frame.

"Li Hao, move over there!"

Chen Ming whispered instructions while slowly moving towards the beam of light.

They used the faint light as a guide, trying to find an opportunity to counterattack.

However, the two killers did not seem to intend to give them too much time and began to slowly approach, with a strong murderous aura in the air.

Just when the two sides were about to fight, Chen Ming suddenly had an idea. He quickly took out a small flashlight from his pocket.

He suddenly turned on the flashlight, and the strong light instantly illuminated the entire room, causing the two killers to lose their visual advantage instantly.

"on!"

Chen Ming took advantage of this moment of light and rushed forward, kicking one of the killers in the knee.

The killer was caught off guard and was kicked, staggering and almost falling.

Li Hao also took the opportunity to launch an attack from the other side, waving the notebook in his hand with all his strength. Although it was not a weapon, it was enough to distract the killer in this situation.

In the chaos, Chen Ming took the opportunity to pull Li Hao towards the door.

As long as you escape this room, you will have a chance to find a safer place.

However, just as they were about to touch the door handle, a dark shadow passed over their heads, blocking their way.

"Want to run? It's not that easy!"

The mysterious man's voice echoed in the darkness, with a hint of sneer.

He flashed and blocked their retreat again.

Chen Ming was about to do something, but this time, Li Hao did not choose to confront him head-on. Instead, he quickly took out a bottle of anti-wolf spray from his backpack and sprayed it in the direction of the mysterious man.

The mysterious man obviously did not expect this move and was hit directly. His eyes turned red and he retreated repeatedly.

Chen Ming was no longer silent, and this time he decided to use his true strength to let these people know what true power is.

He turned around suddenly, clenched his fists, and using the strength and agility accumulated from long-term training, he instantly launched a surprise attack on the closest killer.

A series of precise elbow strikes and knee strikes created a deafening sound in the small space. Each strike landed accurately on the opponent's vital points, but without losing control, avoiding fatal injuries.

The killer was forced to retreat repeatedly by Chen Ming's sudden attack and almost lost the ability to fight back.

Seeing this, Li Hao quickly picked up the flashlight that had been dropped on the ground and turned on the strong light again to provide illumination for Chen Ming's attack. At the same time, it also forced the remaining killers and the mysterious man to squint their eyes, temporarily losing the accuracy of their attack.

While waving the flashlight, he looked for opportunities to interfere with the other party, and the cooperation between the two gradually became tacit.

The mysterious man's face changed. He knew that any further delay would only be disadvantageous to him, so he whistled a low whistle, signaling the two killers to retreat.

The killers received the signal and dared not fight any longer. They quickly climbed out of the window and disappeared into the night.

At this time, Chen Ming left with Li Hao, who survived the disaster.
