The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the bluestone road, making Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's figures look particularly slender. They walked side by side, but their faces were no longer relaxed and comfortable as before. Children were playing not far away, and their crisp laughter was as pleasant as silver bells, but it could not dispel the haze that shrouded the hearts of the two.

"Brother, do you think we really should do this? Wouldn't it be too risky to face her directly?" There was a hint of hesitation in Chu Mengmeng's voice, and her clear eyes flickered with uneasiness.

Xiao Yichen stopped, turned around, gently stroked Chu Mengmeng's hair, and said firmly: "Mengmeng, we have been hiding for too long, we can't go on like this. As long as Lin Yuxin is not eliminated, we and the children will always live under her shadow. Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative and seize the initiative."

Chu Mengmeng bit her lip, and the twisted and resentful face of Lin Yuxin appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She knew that Xiao Yichen was right, and escaping could not solve the problem. Only by facing it bravely could she completely get rid of the nightmare.

"Okay, brother, I'll listen to you." Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath, and her eyes gradually became firm.

The two returned home and began to prepare for a head-on confrontation with Lin Yuxin. They first had to determine Lin Yuxin's exact location and her recent movements.

"According to the intelligence we have so far, Lin Yuxin is likely hiding in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city." Xiao Yichen pointed at the map spread out on the table, frowning slightly, "But this information has been outdated for some time. We still need to further confirm whether she is still there."

"Then what should we do?" Chu Mengmeng asked.

"I have arranged for people to go to that area to gather information. I believe there will be results soon." Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. "During this period of time, we cannot relax. We must be fully prepared to deal with various emergencies."

In the next few days, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen spent almost all their time making plans. They carefully studied Lin Yuxin's personality traits and behavior style, and tried to make the most reliable plan. However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Just when they thought everything was under control, they unexpectedly received a message that disrupted all their arrangements...

Plans can never keep up with changes. This sentence is vividly reflected in Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen.

They followed the intelligence and came to the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, only to find that it was already deserted. Cobwebs were everywhere, dust was piled up, and the air was filled with a rotten smell, as if telling of the ruthless passage of time.

"How could this happen? Is the information wrong?" Chu Mengmeng looked around in disbelief, feeling a deep sense of loss in her heart.

Xiao Yichen frowned and carefully observed the surrounding environment, hoping to find some clues. "No, this should be Lin Yuxin's hiding place, but she has already left." He pointed at the messy footprints on the ground and said affirmatively, "Looking at these footprints, they should have been left not long ago, and there are quite a few people."

Chu Mengmeng's heart suddenly rose to her throat, "Brother, what do you mean..."

"That's right. Lin Yuxin may have noticed something, so she moved ahead of time." Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed with a cold light, "It seems that we still underestimated her."

Just when they were at a loss, the men who were responsible for tracking Lin Yuxin came in a hurry and brought even more shocking news. "Master, Miss, we found out that Lin Yuxin has been in close contact with someone from a mysterious organization recently, and..."

"And what? Tell me quickly!" Chu Mengmeng urged anxiously.

The subordinate hesitated for a moment before stammering, "Moreover, we discovered that the mysterious organization seems to be related to... the demons."

"What?!" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen exclaimed at the same time. The demons were a taboo existence. According to rumors, they possessed the power to destroy the world and had brought great disasters to the world. If Lin Yuxin really colluded with the demons, the consequences would be disastrous.

"We must find Lin Yuxin as soon as possible and stop her!" Xiao Yichen made a prompt decision, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on them. Just when they finally found Lin Yuxin's new hiding place and were ready to act, a new variable appeared...

A black car stopped silently in front of the villa where Lin Yuxin was hiding. The door opened and a man in a black windbreaker and sunglasses walked down. He was tall, with a strong aura, and exuded a dangerous aura.

"Who is he?" Chu Mengmeng asked in a low voice while hiding in the dark.

Xiao Yichen's expression was more solemn than ever before. "If I'm not mistaken, he should be an envoy sent by the demon clan..."

The black car stopped steadily, and the person who got out of the car exuded a cold aura, as if he was a messenger from the Netherworld, which made people shudder. He walked towards the villa with steady steps, and every step seemed to step on the tip of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's heart, bringing a huge sense of oppression.

"What should we do? Should we take action now?" Chu Mengmeng asked in a low voice, hiding behind the dense bushes, with a hint of anxiety in her tone.

Xiao Yichen shook his head, signaling her to be patient. "It's not the right time yet. We know nothing about his strength. Any rash action will only alert the enemy." He stared at the man in black, trying to find some clues from him. "Also, Lin Yuxin chose to contact the demons at this time. I'm afraid there is a bigger conspiracy. We must find out their purpose."

The two of them lurked patiently, and finally, the man in black entered the villa, and the door of the villa was immediately closed. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, and saw solemnity in each other's eyes. It seems that Lin Yuxin came prepared this time. She has new allies around her, and the strength of these allies should not be underestimated.

"Brother, what should we do now?" Chu Mengmeng asked in a low voice, with a hint of worry in her tone.

"Let's wait and see what happens." Xiao Yichen pondered for a moment, "Let's find a way to sneak into the villa and see what they are planning."

As the night deepened, the villa was brightly lit. Through the window, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen vaguely saw Lin Yuxin and the man in black sitting opposite each other, seemingly conducting some kind of transaction.

"Are you sure you want to do this? This is against the will of heaven!" The man in black spoke in a low voice with a hint of warning.

"I have made up my mind. No need to persuade me." Lin Yuxin's voice was cold and ruthless. "As long as I can get revenge, I will do it even if it means making a deal with the devil!"

Hearing this, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were in a state of panic. It seemed that Lin Yuxin had gone completely crazy for revenge and was even willing to take advantage of the tiger!

"No, we can't wait any longer!" Chu Mengmeng clenched her fists, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, "Otherwise, we don't know what terrible things will happen!"

Xiao Yichen held her back and shook his head gently, signaling her to calm down. "I know what you're worried about, but now is not the time." He spoke in a calm tone, but his eyes were extremely firm. "We must figure out their plan before we can find a chance to win with one strike."

Despite the difficulties, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were full of determination. They knew that this was their only chance to completely solve the problem and they couldn't miss it anyway...

"Brother, we can't just sit there and wait for death!" Chu Mengmeng clenched her fists and said firmly, "Lin Yuxin has been completely possessed by the devil, we must stop her!"

Xiao Yichen took a deep breath. He knew that Chu Mengmeng was right. Lin Yuxin was no longer the innocent girl she once was. She was blinded by hatred and even willing to join the demon clan. Such Lin Yuxin had become a huge threat.

"You're right, we can't wait any longer." Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "But we can't just fight head-on, we have to think of a foolproof plan."

Chu Mengmeng tilted her head, trying to think of a countermeasure. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she excitedly grabbed Xiao Yichen's arm, "Brother, why don't we try to fish in troubled waters?"

Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

“You see, Lin Yuxin is now colluding with the demons. We know nothing about the demons, and rash actions will only alert them. Why don’t we find a way to get close to the man in black first, find out their plans, and then defeat them one by one!” Chu Mengmeng became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she had seen the dawn of victory.

Xiao Yichen pondered for a moment and had to admit that although Chu Mengmeng's proposal was risky, it was also a good idea. Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative and seize the initiative.

"Okay, let's do as you say! However, getting close to the demons is not an easy task, we have to plan carefully." There was a determined light flashing in Xiao Yichen's eyes. In order to protect Chu Mengmeng and to stop Lin Yuxin, he was willing to give everything.

So, the two began to carefully analyze the current situation and make a careful plan. They decided that Chu Mengmeng would use her "cute and foodie" image to get close to the man in black, try every means to gain his trust, and then wait for an opportunity to get intelligence. Xiao Yichen would be responsible for secretly protecting Chu Mengmeng and helping her at critical moments.

As the night deepened, there were bursts of conversations coming from the villa. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen held their breath and listened carefully. They knew that this was their only chance, success or failure depended on it!

"Are you sure you can help me fulfill my wish?" Lin Yuxin's voice was full of urgency.

"Of course, as long as you are willing to pay the corresponding price." The man in black said in a low voice with a hint of temptation, "I can give you everything you want, power, status, and even... revenge!"

Hearing the word "revenge", Lin Yuxin's breathing became noticeably faster. She clenched her fists tightly, and a crazy light flashed in her eyes.

"Okay, I promise you!"

After hearing that Lin Yuxin agreed to the conditions of the demon clan, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were overshadowed. They knew that a bigger storm was coming...

Can they successfully stop the storm? And how can they use this opportunity to break up the alliance between Lin Yuxin and the demons?
