That night, Li Huowang lay fully dressed on the bed, waiting for the others to arrive.
Just as Li Huowang saw the clock on the wall strike twelve, a piercing metallic scraping sound rang out as someone pushed open the steel factory door. When he grabbed his belongings and walked out of the steel factory, he saw two off-road vehicles parked there. Their high beams were so bright he couldn't keep his eyes open.
"Get in the car." Zhao Shuangdian's voice rang out from behind the blinding white light.
As Li Huowang reached the car door, he saw that inside were not only Zhao Shuangdian and the Ba siblings, but also three strangers: two men and a woman.
After glancing at them, Li Huowang opened the back door and sat down, but as soon as he did, he felt something on the seat. He reached out and felt two sheathed military daggers. When Li Huowang picked them up, he realized they were his. The bloodstains on them hadn't even been wiped clean.
