Just as everyone was laughing, the crisp sound of high heels was heard at the end of the corridor, and the figure with long fiery red hair slowly walked in.

Seeing Luo, the originally happy atmosphere was diluted, and everyone glanced at her coldly with hatred.

Luo raised his chin to the warden, who nodded and bowed, then left with the guards.

Soon, Luo was the only one left in the corridor, facing a huge number of prisoners.

"How have you been in prison these days? Although this is the best prison in Crescent City, it's probably still a lot worse than your luxurious living quarters."

Luo strolled leisurely in the corridor with a smile on his face, his eyes sweeping across the cold faces of the prisoners, not caring about the hatred and hostility.

When her eyes fell on Su Mo, she deliberately uttered a cry, hunched her shoulders, dodged her gaze like a shy deer, and her voice became weaker: "Isn't this Mr. Molester? What happened tonight is really embarrassing to think about."

As soon as these words were spoken, the serious atmosphere disappeared instantly, and everyone started laughing wildly again.

Su Mo glared at Luo and said, "Get lost. If you want to kill me, then kill me. If you want to cut me up, then cut me up. I have a family and my child is three or four years old. Don't ruin my good reputation here."

Luo covered his lips and chuckled. He stopped teasing Su Mo and his tone became serious: "Okay, no more jokes. There are no outsiders here, so I can speak frankly."

Shangguan Li said coldly: "First of all, who said you are 'not an outsider'? Are we familiar with each other?"

Luo smiled and said, "People are not familiar with each other at first, but they will gradually become familiar with each other later. I have a lot of things to deal with in the next period of time, so I'll have to inconvenience you all to stay here for the time being."

"This place is actually quite nice. It's quiet, peaceful, isolated from the world, and most importantly—"

Her smile turned mysterious: "You have fallen from your respective positions. No matter what happens outside, it has nothing to do with you."

Luo had always been a bureaucrat, and no one had a good impression of her. Her words went in one ear and out the other, and no one thought about them at all.

Only Su Mo, who knew Luo inside and out, was slightly stunned. He looked at her meaningfully, as if he was thinking about something.

Just as Su Mo was deep in thought, he suddenly heard the sound of unlocking, and his cell door was opened.

Luo put the key back in his pocket and opened the door for Su Mo: "Captain Su, come and have a chat."

Everyone looked at Luo and Su Mo in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

The atmosphere was a bit tense until someone said, "Captain Su, please observe male ethics and stop molesting the special envoy."

Suddenly there was laughter everywhere.

"What a bunch of unruly people." Su Mo shook his head helplessly and went to the closed isolation room with Luo.

After Luo entered the room, he turned around and looked at Su Mo. He was stunned for a moment: "Why are you standing so far away?"

Su Mo was standing in a corner, leaning against the wall, his arms folded, looking at her with a raised eyebrow, and responded word by word: "What do you think?"

Luo couldn't help but smile: "I'm just trying to trick you once, why are you acting like a resentful young wife? Let's hurry up and talk about business, about the Wolf King."

Su Mo: "What happened to the Wolf King?"

Luo: "Where did you hide her?"

Luo was like a deadly swordsman, launching a killing move without warning, his golden eyes staring straight into Su Mo's eyes, trying to capture any slightest change of emotion in them.

Moreover, this question is very misleading. If you subconsciously answer "I didn't hide it", you are tacitly acknowledging the fact of "hiding" and implicitly admitting that you are involved.

Facing Luo's question, Su Mo responded with a confused expression: "Hidden? Why do you think the Wolf King is hidden?"

"You should have read the on-site report. An optically camouflaged transport took her away. She is most likely no longer in Crescent City."

Luo did not catch any clues from Su Mo's expression, and her answer was impeccable, so she continued: "The Wolf King was seriously injured when he broke through the Tower of Babel. Even if he was rescued, he would definitely need professional medical equipment to maintain his life, and he would not be able to walk far."

"What's more, the aerospace assault force carefully searched the surrounding airspace after receiving the news and found no suspicious traces, so the Wolf King must still be in Crescent City."

"And the purpose of my coming this time is to find her out."

If someone else asked, Sumer would never admit that Fenrir was with him.

But as mentioned before, Luo is not what she appears to be, and Su Mo knows her inside out.

The whole city is searching for Fenrir now. It is not a good idea to keep her lying in the Edge Building. We must find a way to get her to a safe place.

The court sending Luo this time was an opportunity for Sumer, because from a standpoint, Luo and Fenrir were on the same side, and Luo was likely to help her.

If Luo returns empty-handed and is replaced, and another special envoy comes to replace him, the situation will only become more troublesome.

Of course, before taking any trust measures towards Luo, Su Mo must first find out what she really thinks.

For this reason, Su Mo deliberately exposed a flaw in his tone: "Even if you can find Fenrir, what do you want to do with her?"

As a court official who had handled countless cases, this flaw was too obvious, it was almost as if he had told her "I know where Fenrir is."

Luo looked at Su Mo meaningfully and found that Su Mo was also looking at her with the same eyes. Both of them were like hunters hiding in the dark, pointing their guns at each other but hesitant to pull the trigger.

Both hunters wanted to confirm whether the other was a friend or foe.

After a long silence, Luo said profoundly: "Captain Su, it is difficult for people to truly trust each other. If we keep going around in circles like this, we will never be able to talk to each other."

"So I have an idea. I want to make a bet with you. Are you willing?"

Su Mo: "How to bet?"

Luo took out a notebook from his arms, tore off two pages and placed them on both sides of the table, and placed a pen on each.

"Let's each take a piece of paper. I will write down the reasons for arresting you recently and the overall plan for the future."

"Of course, it may seem false to you, but I can guarantee with my character that everything I write is true."

"And you write down your true views on the world and what path you want to take in the future."

"You can write the truth or lie, it's up to you."

"But remember one thing. If what we write is not in the same direction, I will kill you immediately. My blood code is the same as Fenrir's, also "divine blessing level". Believe me, you will not survive."

“But if what we write is in the same direction.”

Luo's golden eyes were filled with smiles: "Then we are companions."

This is a typical game of imperfect information.

It seems frank, but in fact both parties do not know each other's psychology.

Luo knew nothing about Su Mo's inner thoughts and had no way of guessing.

Although Su Mo knew Luo Zhigen inside out, he didn't know if she was plotting anything, nor did he know if she would lie next.

Should I write down my true thoughts on paper or hide something?

In other situations, this might be a difficult decision, requiring careful weighing of the pros and cons before figuring out what to do.

But for Su Mo, there is no need to worry about these things.

He didn't need to guess what Luo was thinking, nor did he need to care whether she would write the truth or lies on the paper.

What he lacked was never understanding Luo, on the contrary, he needed Luo to understand himself.

No matter what the other party wants to do, he just needs to take this opportunity to tell her his inner thoughts.

Su Mo took the paper and pen, leaned over the table and began to write.

Seeing Su Mo being so decisive, Luo also started writing on the other side of the table.

A few minutes later, both sides had finished writing.

Luo stretched out his hand to Su Mo: "Give me what you wrote first."

Su Mo handed over the paper.

This is not a paper, Sumer's statement is very brief and concise, only more than a hundred words.

But it was these one hundred words that made Luo stare at them for a long time, as if he was savoring every word and sentence carefully.

After a long silence, Luo took out a lighter and burned the paper written by Su Mo.

Su Mo asked back: "Have you finished reading it? Let me see yours."

Luo chuckled, stretched out his little hand and gently rubbed Su Mo's cheek: "Young man, you are still so gullible."

After saying that, she put her piece of paper in Su Mo's hand.

Su Mo picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing.

Sure enough, there was nothing written on it, it was empty.

The Edge Building has 88 floors.

For the sake of the stability of the entire team, the news of Su Mo's arrest has not been announced to the team members, and only the core members know about it.

Mirai was following up on Fenrir's physical condition in the secret shelter and did not come to meet everyone.

Su Motong went back to his room and went to sleep early, and didn't know that his father had been arrested.

Others were gathered in the small conference room, with different expressions on their faces.

Chu Nanyiyi and Nuo Bai stood by the window, looking at the night with worry on their faces.

KK was extremely anxious. He paced back and forth in the room, muttering “what should I do” over and over again.

Dongdong's expression was as gloomy as water. He was swinging a dragon steel baseball bat back and forth, and his eyes looked as if he wanted to kill someone.

Qi Ling was fiddling with the tablet in her hand, not knowing what she was doing.

The atmosphere was very depressing and no one spoke.

After a while, Dongdong was the first to curse: "Fuck him, I can't stand it anymore, beat Luo to death with one punch! I'm going to jailbreak!"

KK quickly stopped her and said, "Oh, this is already a mess, can you please stop messing around?"

Dongdong said angrily: "Did you hear what crime that woman accused the boss of? Indecency! I am *on the edge of civilization*! The boss blushes when holding hands with a girl. Isn't this an insult? How can you tolerate it?"

KK dissuaded him: "What's the point of you going to jailbreak? There are Shangting Guards everywhere in the city. Even if you get my brother out, it will only cause more trouble."

Seeing that Dongdong was still getting angry, KK quickly turned around and said, "Qiling, big brother is not here, you can persuade Dongdong on his behalf, hurry up, I can't hold him back anymore."

Qi Ling finished fiddling with the tablet in his hand, raised his head and said seriously: "The suicide drone swarm is ready, let's go and blow up all the people in Shangting."

KK was horrified and rushed over to snatch Qi Ling's tablet, throwing it aside to prevent her from touching it again.

Just when the small conference room was in chaos, the indicator light in the corner suddenly lit up.

KK was stunned for a moment and said, "Is someone using the secret passage?"

The 88th floor of the Edge Building, as the residential floor for the core members, has a special structural design, including many secret passages.

These secret passages are directly connected to the surface or the corresponding floors. The entrances and exits are very hidden, equipped with anti-detection reconnaissance modules, and require multiple encrypted identifications before they can be activated.

If the location and opening method are not known, it is almost impossible for outsiders to discover it unless the building is demolished.

According to the original design concept, secret passages are generally used for emergency escape in case of an emergency, or for secret entry and exit.

Before, Sumer had someone bring Fenrir back to the edge through the secret passage connecting to the underground shelter.

The secret passage that is now lit up directly connects the surface and the 88th floor, leading directly to the floor where everyone is currently.

Several people came to the exit of the secret passage on the 88th floor, wanting to see who was coming.

The special elevator was very fast, and as the seamless hidden door opened, everyone was delighted at first.

Sumer is back!

But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore.

Because there was someone following Su Mo, Luo.

No one expected that this special envoy to the court would come in through the secret passage.

"Brother! This?!" KK was immediately frightened and confused. The others also stared at Luo with extreme vigilance, wondering if Su Mo was being coerced.

Dongdong even clenched the baseball bat tightly, ready to swing it if the situation went wrong.

But what Su Mo said next shocked everyone.

He raised his palm to signal everyone not to be nervous, and then said, "We are one of us."

Everyone was stunned.

own people?

This special commissioner from Shangting, who had arrested a lot of good people not long ago, was actually "one of our own" in Su Mo's mouth???

Dongdong was stunned for a long while, then suddenly came to his senses: "Boss, what kind of drug did this guy give you? How can she be considered a family member?!"

Su Mo: "This matter involves too many things, and I can't explain it all at once. I will explain it to you slowly later."

Seeing his companions hesitate, Su Mo asked, "Do you believe me?"

Everyone nodded without hesitation.

Su Mo: "Since you believe in me, please believe in her too."

Now that things have come to this, no matter how worried everyone is, they can't say much.

Luo reminded, "Time is running out. I'll greet you all properly when I have a chance later. Captain Su, let's go. We have to race against time now."

Su Mo nodded and told his companions: "My return must be kept secret, and Luo's matter must be kept secret even more. Don't tell anyone."

"Understood." Everyone responded.

After finishing the instructions, Su Mo took Luo into another secret passage.

In the secret underground shelter, Future is conducting daily checks on the unconscious Fenrir and recording various feedback data.

When the door of the secret passage opened, Wei Li saw Luo and Su Mo walking in together. He was startled and subconsciously blocked his body beside the Mingquan medical table, shouting in panic: "Boss?"

"One of our own." Su Mo repeated this sentence again, signaling that the future would be at ease, "Let her meet Fenrir."
