The two of them quickly left the villa and disappeared without a trace in the night.

The night was as dark as ink, and the lights on both sides of the street were dim and sparse, adding a bit of unknown fear to the escape.

Chen Ming and Li Hao shuttled through the intricate alleys, being extremely cautious with every step, fearing that they would fall into the enemy's trap again.

"We need to find a safe place to sort this out."

Chen Ming looked into the distance with a determined gaze and had an idea in his mind.

Although he has temporarily escaped the pursuit, the mystery and danger behind it still follow him.

Li Hao nodded, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and there was a hint of fear in his voice.

"Yes, especially that mysterious man. How did he know your name? And what about the ancient medicine he mentioned?"

The two quickened their pace and finally arrived at a 24-hour convenience store.

The warm light from inside the store spills through the glass door, creating a stark contrast to the cold and darkness outside.

They pushed the door open and a warm current instantly enveloped their bodies, seeming to dispel some of the haze in their hearts.

In a corner of the convenience store, they found a relatively quiet place to sit down and began to carefully sort out everything that happened tonight.

At the same time, several killers returned to report with dejected looks on their faces. Upon learning about this, the mysterious man kicked one of them in anger.

"You idiots! Two ordinary people can make you fail!"

The mysterious man's deep voice echoed in the room, and every word was like a hammer, hitting the killers' tense nerves.

He paced slowly, his back to the dark night outside the window, his eyes flashing with complex light.

Obviously, the failure of this operation was beyond his expectations, and it also made him more interested in the identities of Chen Ming and Li Hao.

"Go, check all their information, especially that Chen Ming. He has extraordinary skills and can't be an ordinary person."

The mysterious man gave the order coldly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

The killers did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately retreated and disappeared into the night.

Inside the convenience store, Chen Ming and Li Hao's discussion gradually deepened.

They recalled the "ancient prescription" mentioned by the mysterious man, and their hearts were filled with doubts and uneasiness.

What is so special about this ancient prescription, and why has it caused so much dispute and pursuit?

"We need to find a professional to ask what this ancient medicine is."

Li Hao suggested, frowning.

Chen Ming nodded in agreement. He knew very well that it would be difficult to solve the mystery with just the two of them.

So they decided to find a reliable medical expert first, perhaps they could get some clues from there.

The two quickly made a plan and decided to find a place to rest for a night and recharge their batteries before taking action.

"You rest here first. I have to go back. I'll come to see you when I'm free."

Chen Ming arranged Li Hao to stay in a nearby hotel and then left first.

As the night deepens, the hustle and bustle of the city seems to return to tranquility with the embellishment of the stars.

Li Hao sat by the window of the hotel room, staring at the occasional passing vehicles outside, feeling mixed emotions.

This night's experience is by no means accidental, and the secrets hidden behind it may completely change the trajectory of their lives.

On the other side, Chen Ming drove back to his residence, with thoughts surging in his mind as well.

He needed time to collect his thoughts, but also to ensure his safety so as not to become a target again.

After arriving home, he quickly checked the security system in his home. After confirming that everything was correct, he sat down at his desk and began to record in detail everything that happened tonight, not missing a single detail.

But he also quickly took out his mobile phone, and the picture on it was Li Hao.

At the same time, Li Hao looked around and didn't find any problems, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He called the mysterious man to report the situation: "This plan was very successful. I guess he doesn't even know my identity."

Li Hao deliberately pretended to be a victim and lurked beside Chen Ming. His purpose was to be with Chen Ming and find other ancient prescriptions.

The mysterious man on the other end of the phone spoke in a low voice, as if he was not completely satisfied with Li Hao's "success", but he did not criticize him too much either.

"Very good, continue to maintain your position and don't slack off. Remember, our goal is not just the ancient prescription, but all possible clues. Chen Ming must become a chess piece in our hands."

Li Hao's heart trembled, but he remained calm on the surface and agreed respectfully.

"Yes, I understand. I will be more careful to make sure everything goes well."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the night outside the window, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He knew that he was walking on a dangerous and unknown road, but he was willing to give everything for the ultimate goal.

When Chen Ming saw this scene, he was not as nervous as imagined, but instead looked calm.

Chen Ming's fingers tapped lightly on the table. The picture on the phone screen gradually dimmed, but his thoughts became clearer.

Li Hao's true identity is far from as simple as it seems, and behind all this, there seems to be a huge network that is quietly drawing them both into it.

He stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the dimly lit city in the distance. An inexplicable sense of mission surged in his heart.

Whatever secrets this ancient recipe holds, he must reveal them, not only for himself but also for those who are innocently caught up in this dispute.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the city, Chen Ming was already ready.

He drove to the hotel, and Li Hao had already prepared everything and pretended to be nervous.

After the two met, there was not much conversation, and the tacit understanding between them seemed to have transcended the limits of words.

"No one came to see you last night?"

Thinking of those killers, Chen Ming deliberately made a worried expression.

Li Hao shook his head, his eyes flashing with tension and anxiety.

"No, I was very careful, and everything went according to plan. I didn't sleep well last night, because I always felt that something was going to happen."

There was a subtle hint of nervousness in his words, but more of it was anticipation and determination for the next action.

"I suspect these killers are after you. Do you also know about ancient medicine?"

Li Hao stared straight at Chen Ming, and Chen Ming frowned slightly.

"Me? Knowing about ancient medicine? How is that possible?"

Chen Ming pretended to be surprised, but there was a barely perceptible depth in his eyes.

"I'm just an ordinary person who occasionally gets involved in these disputes. But then again, if the ancient prescription is really so important, perhaps we should start from the source."

Li Hao pondered secretly in his heart, but agreed on the surface.
