In the dim warehouse, the flashlight beam danced on the yellowed paper, and Xiao Yichen's fingers, holding the document, turned slightly white due to the force. On the document, the detailed plan was like a venomous snake, spitting out cold fangs, aiming directly at the lifeblood of the resources on which the town depended for survival.

"How dare they?!" Chu Mengmeng bit her lip, her eyes burning with anger. The town was so peaceful and harmonious, but these people's greed was dragging this pure land into the abyss!

"It seems that we have underestimated them before." Xiao Yichen took a deep breath and handed the document to Chu Mengmeng, "We must hand this document over as soon as possible..."

Before he finished speaking, his cell phone rang rapidly. Xiao Yichen's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition enveloped his heart. The caller ID showed that it was Xiao Xiao, and he quickly answered the call.

"Dad! Someone is trying to capture me and my sister!" Xiao Xiao's voice was filled with tears, and the background was filled with chaos and screams.

"Where are you? Don't be afraid, Dad will be here soon!" Xiao Yichen's heart sank suddenly, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his head.

"We are at the school gate. There was a black van just now..." Xiao Xiao's voice stopped abruptly, and there was only a busy tone on the other end of the phone.

Xiao Yichen's face turned pale, and his hand holding the phone trembled. "It's Xiao Xiao, they were attacked!"

Chu Mengmeng's heart was in her throat, and she grabbed Xiao Yichen's arm, "Let's go!"

The two rushed to the school as quickly as possible. There were already many people gathered at the school gate. The children were still in shock, and the teachers and parents were anxiously asking about the situation.

Xiao Yichen pushed through the crowd and finally saw Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yao standing in the corner with pale faces.

"Dad! Mom!" When the two children saw them, they immediately threw themselves into their arms crying.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Xiao Yichen hugged the two children tightly, his heart filled with fear. If they were a step later, the consequences would be disastrous.

After comforting the child, Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng asked about the incident in detail. According to Xiao Xiao's description, they were about to go home when a black van suddenly stopped in front of them. Several men in black got out of the van and tried to take them away by force. Fortunately, the classmates and teachers who passed by discovered them in time, and those people fled in a hurry.

"It seems that they want to use the children to threaten us." A cold light flashed in Chu Mengmeng's eyes. These people have touched her bottom line.

"Who are they? Why are they doing this?" Xiao Yichen clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with anger and confusion.

"Maybe, I should ask someone..." Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He picked up the phone and dialed a long-forgotten number. "Dad, I need your help..."

Xiao Yichen's phone call was like a thunderclap, exploding in Xiao's father's peaceful life. After listening to his son's story, he was silent for a long time, with complex emotions rolling in his deep eyes. "I know, I will investigate this matter myself. You protect Mengmeng and the children, and don't act rashly."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao's father looked at the bustling city outside the window, but his eyes were cold. He knew that the person who could plan such a careful plan was definitely not an ordinary person, and behind this plan, there might be a deeper abyss. He picked up the phone and dialed numbers one by one. The once powerful business tycoon, now put on his armor again for the safety of his children.

At the same time, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen called all the partners together for an emergency meeting in a hidden warehouse. Under the dim light, everyone's face was filled with solemnity.

"We found some documents. It seems that the enemy has set their sights on this town..." Chu Mengmeng handed the documents to everyone and described their findings in detail. "They want to completely destroy this place. We must not let them succeed!"

"These are utterly heartless guys!" A burly man slammed the table and said indignantly, "Let's fight them!"

"Calm down, Lao Li," Xiao Yichen patted his shoulder and said firmly, "Now is not the time to act impulsively. We need to figure out their purpose and find their weaknesses so that we can defeat them with one strike."

Everyone nodded, with a determined light in their eyes. They came from all walks of life and gathered around Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen for different reasons, but at this moment, they all had a common goal: to protect this homeland and their relatives and friends.

"Li Yunfei, what's going on with you recently?" Xiao Yichen looked at a young man who looked a little tired. Li Yunfei was Xiao Yichen's long-time friend and business partner, and he also played an important role in this incident.

"I have been investigating their source of funds, but their methods are very covert, and I have not yet found a breakthrough." Li Yunfei rubbed his temples, his tone revealing a hint of weakness. "And..."

He paused and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Chu Mengmeng keenly noticed his abnormality.

"My company has encountered some troubles recently. There is a problem with the capital chain. I'm afraid..." A bitter look appeared on Li Yunfei's face.

"Don't worry, we will find a way." Xiao Yichen patted his shoulder and gave him an encouraging look. "We are a team. No matter what happens, we must face it together."

However, no one noticed that a barely perceptible gloom flashed across Li Yunfei's eyes. Outside the warehouse, the night was deep and the cold wind was howling, as if foreshadowing a bigger storm was coming... The phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the warehouse. Li Yunfei glanced at the caller ID and his face suddenly turned extremely pale...

The biting cold wind howled outside the warehouse, like the roar of a wild animal, foreshadowing the coming of a storm. The phone rang suddenly, breaking the solemn atmosphere in the warehouse. Li Yunfei trembled subconsciously, and the name on the caller ID burned his eyes like a branding iron. He took a deep breath and answered the call.

"Hello..." His voice was dry, like sandpaper rubbing against glass.

A low and cold voice came from the other end of the phone, like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, with a chilling chill: "Mr. Li, long time no see, how is your business recently?"

Li Yunfei's face turned pale instantly. He knew that the call was from the enemy.

"What...what do you want to do?" He tried hard to control his emotions, but his voice couldn't help but tremble.

"Don't be nervous. I just want to remind you," the voice said in a joking tone, "You owe me money, and it's time to pay it back. If you don't want to see everything you've worked so hard to build go up in smoke, you'd better do as I say."

Li Yunfei's mind was blank, and the enemy's words echoed in his ears like a spell. Of course, he knew what the other party was referring to. That was the scar in his heart that he was most reluctant to touch - a failed investment left him with a huge debt, and the creditor was this mysterious and dangerous organization.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yunfei leaned against the wall weakly, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He knew that he had been pushed to the edge of the cliff, and the enemy was opening its bloody mouth, waiting for him to fall into the abyss.

At the same time, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen decided to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. In the dark night, they led a few companions and quietly sneaked into an abandoned factory.

Inside the factory, the roar of machines was deafening and the air was filled with a pungent smell of chemicals.

"Be careful, something is wrong here," Xiao Yichen lowered his voice and looked around vigilantly.

They groped their way forward, and suddenly, a heavy iron door appeared before them. On the door, a striking skull logo made people shudder.

"This should be their laboratory," Chu Mengmeng whispered, "Let's go in and take a look."

After they pried open the iron door, they gasped at the sight before them. In the laboratory, various instruments were flashing strange lights, test tubes filled with unknown liquids were placed on the laboratory table, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

"They are conducting human experiments!" Xiao Yichen's face turned pale and his fists were clenched tightly.

At this moment, a figure in a white coat appeared deep in the laboratory. He turned around with a strange smile on his face and in his hand, he held a syringe filled with blue liquid.

"Who are you? How dare you break in here!" the man shouted sternly.

"Who are you? Why do you do such unscrupulous things?" Chu Mengmeng asked.

"Hahaha, do you want to know? Unfortunately, you won't have the chance to know!" The man laughed wildly and stabbed the syringe in his hand towards a young man who was tied to a laboratory table beside him...

Chu Mengmeng shouted, "Stop!" Before she finished speaking, she rushed towards the figure in the white coat like an arrow. Xiao Yichen followed closely behind, with a gleaming dagger in his hand.

The man obviously didn't expect them to appear suddenly, and in a panic, he threw the syringe in his hand at Chu Mengmeng and turned around to run away. Chu Mengmeng nimbly dodged the syringe and kicked over a laboratory stand next to him, blocking the man's way.

Xiao Yichen took the opportunity to step forward, with the dagger pointed directly at the man's throat. "Tell me! Who are you? Why are you doing this?"

The man was forced into a corner, his face full of fear and despair, "I... I'm just following orders, please forgive me!"

"Whose orders are they following? What is their purpose?" Xiao Yichen asked.

The man's lips trembled, as if he was hesitating whether to speak or not. At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the laboratory, accompanied by several roars: "They are in there! Catch them quickly!"

A glimmer of hope flashed in the man's eyes, and he suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahaha! You don't stand a chance!"

Xiao Yichen realized that the situation was not good, so he pulled Chu Mengmeng and ran deep into the laboratory. "Let's get out of here first!"

At the same time, on the other side of town, twins Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yao were on their way home from school. As they walked, the brother and sister discussed what happened in school today.

"Brother, do you feel that some classmates in your class are acting weird recently?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Are you talking about Wang Qiang and the others?" Xiao Xiao thought for a moment. "They have indeed been acting a little abnormal recently. They usually don't talk much, but recently they have been gathering together all the time. I don't know what they are whispering about."

"Also, they looked at us in a weird way," Xiao Yao said, shuddering, "It's like... like they were looking at strangers."

The brother and sister looked at each other and saw a trace of uneasiness in each other's eyes. They decided to investigate and see what those classmates were doing.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen wandered around the laboratory and finally found an iron door leading to the outside. Just as they were about to open the iron door and escape, they suddenly found a yellowed note on the door.

Xiao Yichen took the note out of curiosity. With the weak light, he saw a line of beautiful handwriting on it: "When darkness falls, the secret will be revealed."

"What does this mean?" Chu Mengmeng asked.

Xiao Yichen frowned, "Perhaps, this is the key to solving all the mysteries." He carefully put the note away, and then together with Chu Mengmeng, they pushed open the heavy iron door...

What will be waiting for them behind the door?
