Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?
Chapter 44: Storm is Coming, Clouds Cover the Moon
The moonlight was swallowed by dark clouds. Under the night sky, a sneaky figure lurked on the roof, staring at the brightly lit square in the distance with a cold gaze like a venomous snake. It was Aunt Zhao. Her well-maintained face was now filled with viciousness and resentment.
"Damn it! Why can they be so glorious while I have to hide like a rat crossing the street!" Aunt Zhao whispered with gritted teeth, her heart filled with resentment and anger.
Beside him, Chu Yunyao's face was pale, and her eyes were flickering with anxiety, but when she looked towards the square, she could not hide her jealousy. "Auntie, are we really going to do this? What if we are discovered..."
Aunt Zhao smiled coldly, patted Chu Yunyao's hand, and said with a sinister tone, "What are you afraid of? As long as we act carefully, who would suspect us? What's more, I have found helpers. Those desperate criminals dare to do anything!"
The helpers she mentioned were a group of desperate people who had lost their living space in the era of reverse evolution. They dared to do anything for the sake of profit. Aunt Zhao used the resources in her hands to secretly contact them and promised to give them generous rewards after the success.
A few days later, the city reconstruction work was in full swing, and people's faces were full of hope and enthusiasm. However, under the calm surface, undercurrents were surging.
First, several newly built shops in the east of the city were destroyed overnight, and words such as "divine punishment" were sprayed on the walls with red paint; then, the granary in the west of the city suddenly caught fire and a large amount of grain was burned; even more terrifying was that the water supply system in the city center was also destroyed, and the residents' daily water supply became a problem...
A series of events, like an invisible hand, dragged the once thriving city back into panic and chaos. People were talking about it, panicking, and the beautiful vision of the future was also cast a shadow.
"How could this happen..." Chu Mengmeng frowned as she watched the news reports. These things happened too suddenly and too strangely, making her feel vaguely uneasy.
Xiao Yichen looked solemn, put down the documents in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that someone doesn't want to see us have an easy life, and deliberately makes trouble behind our backs."
"Who is it? Why are they doing this?" Chu Mengmeng asked puzzledly.
"I don't know yet, but I will find out." A cold light flashed in Xiao Yichen's eyes. No matter who it is, he will not let go of anyone who dared to destroy the home they had worked so hard to build!
A bigger storm is brewing quietly...
Chu Mengmeng frowned, biting her lower lip with her white teeth, her eyes full of anxiety and worry. The events that happened one after another were like huge rocks, pressing her down so hard that she couldn't breathe. Xiao Yichen held her hand, and the warm touch made her feel a little relieved. His deep eyes flashed with a firm light: "Don't worry, Mengmeng, we will definitely find out who is behind this and won't let them succeed."
Xiao Yichen's words were like a magic needle that calmed Chu Mengmeng's restless heart. She nodded, held his hand tightly, and said firmly: "Well, let's find them together!"
The two immediately started investigating. Xiao Yichen quickly obtained some key information with his connections in the military and political circles. He found that the destroyed places were related to some industries under Aunt Zhao's name. Chu Yunyao also frequently went in and out of those suspicious places during this period.
"It seems that our aunt and sister really can't bear to be lonely." Xiao Yichen sneered, his tone full of sarcasm. He originally thought that after driving them out of the Chu family, they would behave themselves, but he didn't expect that they would dare to do something secretly.
Chu Mengmeng said angrily: "They are going too far! They actually used such despicable means to destroy the reconstruction of the city. It's simply abominable!"
In order not to alert the enemy, Xiao Yichen decided to observe secretly and collect more evidence. He arranged for people to secretly monitor the every move of Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao, and checked the people they came into contact with one by one.
A few days later, Xiao Yichen received news from his men that Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao were going to trade with someone in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, and the content of the transaction was likely related to this sabotage incident.
"I've finally waited for you!" A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Yichen's eyes. He decided to go there in person and catch the mastermind behind the scenes.
As night fell, Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng disguised themselves and quietly sneaked into the abandoned factory. The factory was dark, with only a few dim lights, illuminating strange light and shadows.
The two hid in the shadows, holding their breath and observing the movements around them. Suddenly, a low sound of footsteps came, breaking the silence of the night. Under the dim light, Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao appeared at the factory gate, followed by several burly men with fierce faces.
"It looks like there will be something good to watch tonight." Chu Mengmeng said in a low voice, with excitement flashing in her eyes.
Xiao Yichen patted her hand gently, signaling her not to act rashly and to wait and see what happens.
Everything has just begun...
Under the cover of night, the abandoned factory was like a dormant beast, emitting a chilling atmosphere in the darkness. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen lurked outside the factory. With the faint moonlight, they could vaguely see the shadows of people in the factory, exuding a strange atmosphere.
"Mengmeng, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er are already in place." Xiao Yichen's voice sounded in Chu Mengmeng's ears, low and clear, "They will cooperate with our actions."
Chu Mengmeng nodded slightly, with a determined light flashing in her beautiful eyes. Su Mubai was Xiao Yichen's good friend, very smart and well-informed. He had started investigating the movements of Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao early on, and secretly provided a lot of clues. Lin Wan'er was Chu Mengmeng's best friend, quirky and good at collecting intelligence, and this time she also volunteered to join their action.
"What about Murong Xue?" Chu Mengmeng asked in a low voice. Murong Xue was a member of a mysterious organization and had been their enemy before, but since she was moved by Chu Mengmeng's sincerity last time, she secretly provided them a lot of help.
"I've already contacted her, and she will provide support at the critical moment." Xiao Yichen said, handing a miniature headset to Chu Mengmeng, "Put it on, we can keep in touch at any time."
Chu Mengmeng took the headphones and put them on, exhaled lightly, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, it's time to reveal their true colors!"
The two crouched down and, under the cover of night, quietly moved towards the factory. Inside the factory, Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao were anxiously waiting for something, and behind them stood several burly men, who looked ferocious and vicious, and it was obvious that they were not good people.
"Why hasn't he come yet? Nothing will go wrong, right?" Chu Yunyao paced back and forth restlessly, her tone full of anxiety.
"Don't worry, I've made arrangements. There won't be any problems." Aunt Zhao had a gloomy face, with a vicious light flashing in her eyes. "This time, I will make Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen pay a heavy price!"
They didn't know that danger was approaching step by step. Su Mubai had successfully intercepted the information they were communicating with the mastermind and sent it to Xiao Yichen. Lin Wan'er used her connections to find out the identities of those burly men. They were all notorious thugs in the underworld with blood on their hands.
"It seems that they are determined to cause trouble this time." Xiao Yichen looked at the message on his phone, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "We must not let them succeed!"
He put away his phone, turned to look at Chu Mengmeng, and said in a deep voice: "Get ready for action!"
Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen exchanged glances, and both understood that the time was ripe. They found a hidden corner outside the factory and carefully studied the internal structure diagram of the factory. Su Mubai had already hacked the factory's monitoring system and sent them the internal structure diagram.
"It seems that they want to blow up this batch of supplies." Chu Mengmeng pointed to a warehouse marked with a red dot on the drawing, her tone serious.
"That's right." Xiao Yichen nodded, "These materials are used to rebuild the city. If they are destroyed, the consequences will be disastrous."
"We must stop them!" Chu Mengmeng clenched her fists, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.
"I have already notified the police, and they will be here soon." Xiao Yichen said, "But in order to avoid alerting the enemy, we need to hold them back first."
Based on the intelligence they collected, they developed a bold and careful plan. Chu Mengmeng used her "golden finger" - the ability to communicate with animals, to summon a group of mice, letting them sneak into the factory and wait for an opportunity to act. Xiao Yichen was responsible for attracting the attention of Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao to buy time for Chu Mengmeng.
As the night deepened, the lights in the factory became more eerie, projecting the distorted figures of Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao on the wall, like ghosts. They waited anxiously, but did not realize that danger was approaching.
"Here they come!" Chu Yunyao suddenly pointed in the direction of the factory gate and said in a low voice.
A black car drove slowly and stopped at the factory gate. A tall man got out of the car and walked straight towards Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao.
"Is everything ready?" The man's voice was hoarse and his tone was cold.
"Everything is ready and in the warehouse." Aunt Zhao nodded and bowed, with a flattering smile on her face.
The man nodded with satisfaction and turned to walk towards the warehouse. Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao looked at each other, with a sinister light flashing in their eyes.
At this moment, Xiao Yichen suddenly appeared at the factory gate. He deliberately raised his voice and shouted to the factory: "Aunt Zhao, Chu Yunyao, do you think you are safe hiding here? Your conspiracy has been discovered by us!"
Aunt Zhao and Chu Yunyao's faces changed drastically and they looked at Xiao Yichen in panic. Before they could react, Xiao Yichen had already rushed into the factory.
"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!" Aunt Zhao exclaimed and hurriedly chased after him.
Seeing this, the man had a flash of murderous intent in his eyes and followed closely.
At this time, Chu Mengmeng has already lurked near the warehouse with her "rat soldiers and generals", and a thrilling duel is about to take place...
