Dai Shiya tightly grasped the memory card in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the force.
The mysterious man in front of her was as tall as a mountain, facing the light, blocking her only escape route.
The sense of oppression emanating from him was like an invisible net, trapping her tightly.
The air around her seemed to be stagnant, leaving only her rapid heartbeat, beating like a drum in her ears.
She could feel the sense of crisis coming from all directions, drowning her like a tide, making cold sweat seep out of every pore of her body.
"You are here as expected." Dai Shiya's voice echoed in the slightly empty back area, with a subtle tremor, which was a normal reaction to the surge of adrenaline, not fear.
She forced herself to calm down, staring at the other person with sharp eyes, trying to catch a flaw from him.
"I really want to know, what exactly did you try so hard to snatch?" She decided to take the initiative and throw out the most critical question to try to disrupt the other party's position.
The mysterious man obviously didn't expect her to be so direct. He was speechless for a moment, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he didn't answer immediately.
The black-clad men behind him also began to look at each other. Obviously, they didn't know.
Dai Shiya keenly caught this hesitation, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a hint of complacency flashed in her eyes.
The atmosphere that was originally like a taut string seemed to ease a little.
She knew that the short-term initiative was firmly in her hands.
"It seems that you don't know who you are working for." She exhaled lightly, and the air was filled with a faint smell of gunpowder.
She observed the expression of the mysterious man, trying to find more clues from it.
Just when she thought she could take advantage of the victory, the mysterious man suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Do you think you can escape like this?" He took a step forward with an invisible sense of oppression, like a beast ready to go.
"Why don't we talk about cooperation..." Dai Shiya changed the subject and said calmly, breaking the tense atmosphere. However, the hand she extended carried an elusive meaning. When
the mysterious man heard the "cooperation" proposed by Dai Shiya, he was obviously stunned for a moment, like a stone thrown into a cold pond, stirring up a ripple of surprise.
On his face shrouded in shadow, the originally fierce expression solidified, replaced by an incredible confusion.
The black-clothed man behind him also became agitated, whispering like irritable mosquitoes in summer, buzzing, making the atmosphere on the scene even more weird.
Dai Shiya observed this subtle change and sneered in her heart. She knew that she had made the right bet.
These mysterious people seemed to be aggressive, but in fact they were also chess pieces controlled by others.
In this case, why didn't she use this to fight for a glimmer of life for herself?
There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and there was a cunning light in her eyes, like a cunning fox waiting for its prey to take the bait.
"You don't know who you are working for, but I do." Dai Shiya's tone was firm, like a wise man who saw through everything. Her voice was not loud, but it formed a kind of convincing magic in the air.
She stretched out her hand, palm up, which looked particularly white under the light, forming a sharp contrast with the dark environment around her.
"I have what you want in my hand, but you obviously don't have the ability to take it away, so cooperation is the best choice."
The mysterious man was obviously shaken by this proposal. He slowly raised his hand to stop the restless voice of his men.
He stared at Dai Shiya, his eyes like a poisoned blade, as if he wanted to see through her completely.
He was silent for a moment, and then he said in a low and hoarse voice: "How do you want to cooperate?"
Dai Shiya knew that she had successfully taken the first step.
She took back her hand calmly and said calmly: "I can give you what you want, but in exchange, you must tell me who is behind you?" She did not give out all her cards immediately, but cleverly kept some of them to ensure that she took the initiative in the negotiation.
The mysterious man fell silent again. He seemed to be weighing the pros and cons and was hesitant.
Dai Shiya did not urge him, but waited patiently. The air was filled with tension, like a taut string that could break at any time.
Finally, the mysterious man spoke, with a hint of caution in his voice: "I can tell you part of it, but you must prove your sincerity first." He pointed to the memory card in Dai Shiya's hand, with desire and greed in his eyes.
Dai Shiya was delighted, she knew she was about to get close to the truth.
She remained calm on the surface and said calmly: "Of course, but before that, I need to know who the 'Mr.' you are talking about is?"
The mysterious man hesitated for a moment, as if he was making a difficult decision. Finally, he slowly uttered a name. This name was like a flash of lightning, splitting the fog in Dai Shiya's heart, making her suddenly realize that things were far more complicated than she had imagined.
Just when Dai Shiya wanted to continue asking questions, the mysterious man suddenly stopped talking. He looked into the distance with a vigilant look, as if he had noticed something.
Then, he raised a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, with a creepy meaning, he slowly said: "It seems that someone is here to disrupt the situation. Our cooperation may have to be temporarily suspended..."
A slight vibration came from Dai Shiya's sleeve. She glanced at it calmly. It was an encrypted message sent by Wei Qing.
The message was short but crucial: the mysterious man was code-named "Night Owl", suspected to be a member of a transnational organization, acting cautiously, but there were internal differences.
Dai Shiya's mouth raised an imperceptible arc. Wei Qing's message undoubtedly gave her a shot of cardiotonic, and her originally tense nerves relaxed a little.
This made her more convinced that the current dilemma was not unsolvable.
Although the air around her was still cold, she felt a warm current gushing out from the bottom of her heart, dispelling the chill in her heart.
Behind the mysterious man, a burly man with a face full of flesh came out impatiently. He said in a muffled voice: "Boss, why waste words with this woman! Why not just snatch it away!" He rudely pushed away the man in black who was blocking the way in front of him, his eyes flashing with greed, staring straight at the memory card in Dai Shiya's hand.
"Shut up!" The mysterious man shouted harshly, with a hint of warning in his tone.
He turned his head to look at Dai Shiya, "
The burly man was obviously unconvinced. He snorted heavily and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Boss, this woman is cunning, you can't trust her! What if..."
"Shut up!" The mysterious man interrupted him again, his tone even more severe.
He took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. He turned his head to look at Dai Shiya, his tone returned to calm, "Let's continue..."
The burly man wanted to say something, but was pulled back by the people around him, and whispered: "Don't say it, Boss knows how to behave. " Although he was unwilling, he also knew that now was not the time to show off his strength. He could only glare at Dai Shiya fiercely and suppress his anger in his heart.
Dai Shiya saw all of this and sneered in her heart.
It seems that this "Night Owl" team is not united. This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for her.
She pretended to be calm and put the memory card back into her pocket, and said in a calm tone: "It seems that there seem to be some disagreements among you..." She deliberately paused and observed the reaction of the "Night Owl". The
expression of "Night Owl" changed slightly. He did not expect Dai Shiya to be so keenly aware of their internal conflicts.
He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, and said in a low voice: "This has nothing to do with you."
"Really?" Dai Shiya's mouth curled up a playful smile, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes, "What if I insist on intervening? " She took a step forward, her tone carrying a hint of provocation.
"You..." "Night Owl" was about to speak, but was interrupted by a sudden gunshot.
The bullet whizzed past, shattering the glass behind Dai Shiya, and the fragments flew, drawing dangerous arcs in the air.
Dai Shiya instinctively dodged, her heart beating violently, and the crazy secretion of adrenaline made her feel dizzy.
In the chaos, she heard someone shouting: "Kill her! Take back the things!"
"Night Owl"'s face turned gloomy in an instant, he turned his head abruptly and looked at the burly man, "You..." He was about to speak, but was rudely interrupted by the burly man.
"Do it! "The sturdy man roared, raised his gun and fired first...
The gunshot was deafening, echoing in the narrow space, and the smoke was so thick that people could hardly breathe.
Dai Shiya dodged the flying bullets nimbly. The fragments scratched her sleeves and a stabbing pain came from her arm, but she clenched her teeth and dared not make a sound.
She knew that now was not the time to cry out in pain.
The "Night Owl" team was in complete chaos. Their original target was the memory card in Dai Shiya's hand, but now they pointed their guns at their own people.
The sturdy man's betrayal was obviously beyond the expectations of "Night Owl". He roared angrily, trying to control the situation, but it was too late.
"You bunch of idiots! Stop it! "The roar of "Night Owl" was drowned in the sound of gunfire, and it seemed particularly powerless.
Several men in black around him were still hesitating, but more people had been swallowed up by greed and fear. They shot frantically, like trapped beasts.
Dai Shiya watched all this coldly, sneering in her heart.
She knew that her plan was successful.
She deliberately intensified the conflict between "Night Owl" and the strong man, and finally let them kill each other.
Now, all she has to do is to take advantage of the chaos to escape from this dangerous place.
She noticed that in the chaos, an iron door that was originally closed was slightly opened, revealing a narrow passage.
This might be her only way out.
She took a deep breath, lowered her body, and quickly passed through the intersection like a cheetah . She rushed to the area of fire and rushed towards the iron door.
Bullets whizzed past her, and she could feel the breath of death in the air.
But she did not hesitate at all.
She successfully reached the iron door, pushed it open, and slipped in.
The iron door slammed shut behind her, blocking the gunshots and chaos outside.
The passage was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Dai Shiya groped the wall and moved forward cautiously.
She knew that there might be unknown dangers on this road.
But she had no way out, and she had to keep moving forward.
Suddenly, she heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from the depths of the passage.
She stopped abruptly, held her breath, and listened attentively.
The footsteps were getting closer and clearer...
"Who?" A low voice sounded in the darkness.
