Chapter 172 It's Best to Stay Away From Me
Driver Xiao Liu smoothly parked the car at the entrance of the dark market alley.
Then he turned to Su Yingxue and said with concern, "Miss Su, we've arrived. This dark market is very chaotic, please be careful."
Su Yingxue nodded slightly and said gratefully, "Xiao Liu, thanks to you for taking care of me all the way. Without you, I really don't know how many more troubles I would have gone through."
As she spoke, she took out her phone, "Let's exchange contact information so I can reach you if I need anything."
Xiao Liu quickly took out his phone and replied with a sheepish smile, "Sure, Ms. Su, feel free to call me anytime you need a car."
After adding each other's contact information, Su Yingxue took a deep breath, opened the car door, and got out.
She first looked around warily; the alleyway of the dark market exuded a sinister atmosphere, with shadowy figures looming around.
Before long, she noticed that the third brother's men had also arrived.
A group of men dressed in black, with agile movements and synchronized actions, were clearly well-trained.
She quickly pulled a black mask from her bag and put it on, revealing only a pair of determined eyes.
Su Yingxue walked steadily toward Cheng Wu, who was leaning against the wall smoking, surrounded by smoke.
Upon seeing her arrive, Cheng Wu quickly stubbed out his cigarette and stepped forward to greet her: "Miss Su, you've arrived."
Su Yingxue lowered her voice and asked directly, "Brother Cheng, is there any news from Wei Hao?"
Cheng Wu frowned, looking helpless: "Miss Su, I mobilized a lot of my brothers to inquire, but this city is full of all sorts of people, and we just couldn't find him. I think he probably didn't use his real name and is hiding it too well."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Su Yingxue's eyes, but she quickly cheered up: "Brother Cheng, thank you for your hard work and the brothers of Longmen. I will remember this kindness."
Cheng Wu waved his hand: "Miss Su, don't be so polite. They're all Lao San's friends. If they can help, they certainly will."
Su Yingxue paused, glanced at her burly subordinates behind her, and turned to Cheng Wu, saying, "Brother Cheng, I appreciate your kindness, but I brought a large number of people with me this time, so please don't risk coming along."
Cheng Wu followed her gaze and saw that the people there were indeed all capable and efficient, so he nodded with relief: "Okay, Miss Su, please be careful. If you need anything else, please contact me anytime."
Watching Cheng Wu's departing figure, Su Yingxue's thoughts drifted away.
Once, her heart and soul were only for her children. To raise them, she worked tirelessly, delivering takeout from dawn till dusk.
I work incredibly hard every day to become stronger and earn more money.
Back then, although delivering food was tough, our goals were simple.
Now that the children have their father, Tan Zhengchu, their lives are much more stable.
She now has only one obsession: to bring the murderer who framed Tan Zhengchu to justice and then live a peaceful life with her family.
She clenched her fists and secretly vowed that no matter how dangerous the dark market was, she would never back down.
Su Yingxue stood not far from the entrance of the dark market, her mind still a jumble of thoughts about the past.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted, signaling the official opening of the dark market.
Her eyes instantly sharpened like an eagle's, and she gritted her teeth inwardly: "Wei Hao, I refuse to believe I can't find you here."
Having said that, he straightened his clothes and strode inside.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance, I was stopped by several burly security guards who indicated that I needed to go through security.
Helpless, Su Yingxue had no choice but to cooperate, watching helplessly as her hidden weapons were confiscated one by one.
However, she wasn't panicked, as she still had a few tricks up her sleeve to save her life.
Her outfit today was simple and casual.
She wore jeans on her lower body, a plain-colored sweatshirt on her upper body, her hair was casually tied into a ponytail, and she wore a mask.
She looked like a young girl in her early twenties, completely out of place in the eerie and mysterious atmosphere of the dark market.
After passing through security, I entered the building.
Su Yingxue was slightly taken aback. The interior layout looked somewhat similar to Tan Zhengchu's black market.
This place is very specialized; it only sells weapons and medicine.
She looked up and saw that the building had at least five floors.
Each floor has a spacious corridor with at least ten shops, one next to the other, displaying a wide variety of goods.
Su Yingxue knew in her heart that it would take some time to find Wei Hao in this vast place.
She walked along the first-floor corridor, carefully examining each shop, her eyes not missing a single corner.
Sometimes they would stop and pretend to select goods, but in reality, they were keeping an eye on the people around them.
They were focused on finding any clues about Wei Hao, who might be selling the virus.
While she was focused, Su Yingxue inadvertently looked up.
She froze instantly, as Tan Zhengmo appeared beside her like a ghost.
She had met this person once at a family gathering in the Tan family and knew that he was Tan Zhengchu's half-brother.
These two were like oil and water in the Tan family. They used to fight each other every few days, competing with one another, and neither of them would give in.
At this moment, Tan Zhengmo was dressed in a sharp black trench coat, which made him look even taller and more imposing. His expression was serious, but there was a faint hint of a smile in his eyes.
Su Yingxue's eyes widened, and she blurted out, "Tan Zhengmo, what are you doing here?"
Tan Zhengmo's lips curled up slightly, and he replied with a half-smile, "Su Yingxue, this dark market isn't your business. It's none of your concern if I come here."
Su Yingxue frowned, full of suspicion: "Don't try to fool me. This place is a mixed bag. You've appeared here for no reason, so you must have ulterior motives."
Tan Zhengmo crossed his arms and said leisurely, "Hmph, I think you're the one with ill intentions. What's a woman like you doing venturing into this dark market all by herself? Don't end up getting yourself into trouble."
Su Yingxue snorted coldly: "It's none of your business. You'd better stay away from me and not interfere with my business."
Tan Zhengmo raised an eyebrow, his eyes playful: "Oh? Get things done? What can you do? Tell me, maybe I can lend you a hand."
Su Yingxue rolled her eyes at him and turned her head away: "You can help me? I don't believe it. You know what kind of relationship we have."
Although she said that, Su Yingxue was also wondering what Tan Zhengmo was up to when he suddenly appeared.
She was secretly alert, but remained outwardly calm, continuing to pretend to select items.
In reality, however, he kept a close eye on Tan Zhengmo's every move.
Su Yingxue wandered around the dark market, visiting several shops, but found no useful clues.
With Tan Zhengmo, dressed in black and exuding a mysterious aura, following behind her, she began to feel uneasy and uneasy.
Previously, when she was at the Tan family's house, she always felt that the Tan family's affairs were quite complicated and were their private matters, so she didn't ask Tan Zhengchu much about Tan Zhengmo's situation.
I only vaguely remember that after Tan Zhengmo was severely punished by Tan Zhengchu, he quieted down and behaved himself for a while.
Su Yingxue had no idea how Tan Zhengchu dealt with his younger brother.
