Chapter 817: Acquaintance

The box fell out of his hands, and he subconsciously grabbed it, but the box fell just a little faster than his movements. His fingertips brushed against the box and actually opened the lid.

The next second, a blinding white light exploded in front of Jiang Cheng's eyes, swallowing him up instantly.

"Ring ring ring"

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Cheng was awakened by the sound of an alarm. He slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a pale ceiling.

He was lying on a single bed.

This is a relatively small room with a simple layout. There is a table not far away, a chair beside the table, and white tiles on the floor.

As the structure of the room came into Jiang Cheng's mind little by little, he judged that this was not like a hotel, but rather a staff dormitory.

The evidence is hanging behind the door, a red pennant with a circle of yellow tassels around it, with the words "outstanding employee" written on it.

Jiang Cheng rolled out of bed and looked around. He didn't see Fatty and Huaiyi, but for now, Jiang Cheng wasn't worried about their safety. The mission had just begun.

There were voices outside the door. There were men and women. It sounded like there were quite a lot of people. Jiang Cheng didn't open the door rashly until he heard the fat man's voice, then he opened the door and walked out.

About 6 or 7 meters away from him, there was a group of people standing. There were more people than he thought. There were 9 people. It seemed that these people were teammates for this mission.

Fatty and Huaiyi were both standing there. Fatty was uncharacteristically arguing with a man about something.

Because he couldn't figure out the details of these "teammates", Jiang Cheng planned to show weakness to the enemy. He pretended to be frightened and pitiful, while holding on to the wall and walking towards a crowded place, he asked in a trembling voice: "Where on earth is this? Why did I come here as soon as I opened my eyes? It's so scary!"

According to common sense, Fatty Huaiyi should respond to him at this moment, and then others should step forward to comfort him and explain the rules to him.

But this time, everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, and the fat man kept winking at him, seemingly telling him to stop acting.

Just when Jiang Cheng was confused, the man who had argued with the fat man before came out.

The man was about 35 years old, tall and tall, with gray hair. He was wearing a black leather jacket. He looked calm and capable. He nodded slightly to Jiang Cheng and said, "Hello, Mr. Jiang Cheng."

Jiang Cheng frowned: "Do you know me?"

A cute-looking woman with a bun in her hair behind the man interjected, "We all know you, Mr. Jiang Cheng."

"But I've never seen you." Jiang Cheng put away his disguise and his eyes became alert.

The man who noticed the change in Jiang Cheng's eyes seemed to be the leader of the group. He waved his hand to Jiang Cheng, telling him to relax, "Mr. Jiang Cheng, don't be nervous, we don't mean any harm.

"It's normal that you don't know us, but I think there is someone you must know." The man said in a very formal tone: "Xia family, Miss Xia Meng."

"Are you from the Xia family?" Jiang Cheng was a little surprised.

"Xia family, 4th Action Group, I am the captain, and these people are my team members." The man introduced himself: "My name is Xia Qiang."

The fat man couldn't help but say: "Doctor, last time Xia Meng brought people to trouble us, you didn't know it in the room, but outside, he was the one who led people to catch me. Fortunately, I ran fast."

The fat man huffed angrily and stretched out his hand to identify them one by one: "He, and him, and the woman behind. Yes, I'm talking about you. If you can, don't hide. They are all here."

Jiang Cheng remembered that time, when Xia Meng and the middle-aged man named Gong Zhe followed the clues, they came to Rongcheng and found the studio.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Cheng continued to ask.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Qiang said, "While we were performing our mission, we accidentally got involved in a supernatural incident."

"A scrapped bus?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Hearing this, Xia Qiang nodded and said in a cautious tone: "It seems that Mr. Jiang Cheng is the same."

"Are you guys getting on the bus for the first time?" Jiang Cheng glanced at the people behind Xia Qiang.

"Yes." Xia Qiang replied, then frowned slightly, seeming to realize something, and asked: "Could it be that you..."

"This is our second time." Jiang Cheng didn't want to explain too much to this person named Xia Qiang. According to the other party's level, the information he knew was very limited.

"By the way, you said you were on a mission." Jiang Cheng asked: "Is it convenient to reveal some of the mission content? I want to know if it is related to the situation we are facing now."

"I'm on an escort mission. As for its relationship with the current situation, I don't think it has anything to do with it." Xia Qiang replied concisely.

Looking away, Jiang Cheng looked at the people Xia Qiang brought. There were 6 people in total, 4 of them stood faintly in a circle, protecting a man and a woman in the middle.

"Two of them?" Jiang Cheng raised his chin and looked at a man and a woman.

The man was about 25 years old, wearing ordinary casual clothes, with firm eyes, revealing a maturity that was inconsistent with his age.

Half of the woman's body was hidden behind the man, her pretty face looked slightly tired, and she grabbed the man's arm with one hand, as if she was very dependent on him. Simple sportswear could not hide the woman's curvy figure.

Jiang Cheng's eyes looked back and forth between the faces of the man and the woman. The woman seemed to be afraid of strangers, and she held the man's hand tighter.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang Cheng." The man greeted Jiang Cheng proactively, "My name is Lin Muyun, and this is my sister, Lin Muwan."

"Hello." Jiang Cheng said. The appearance of the man and woman was indeed somewhat similar.

Lin Muyun turned around, patted Lin Muwan's arm, and said softly, "Muwan."

The next second, Lin Muwan slowly let go of his hand, took out a sky blue folder from behind, opened it, wrote something quickly, and then picked up the folder and faced Jiang Cheng.

There were two words "Hello" on it.

When Jiang Cheng looked at Lin Muwan's eyes, she immediately retracted her gaze.

"Sorry, my sister..." Lin Muyun smiled very cleanly, "She rarely contacts strangers. It's all my fault. I spoiled her."

"Mr. Lin and Miss Lin are the people we escorted this time." Xia Qiang stood up and explained: "Someone wants to harm them. We need to escort them to a safe place secretly."

Jiang Cheng recalled Lin Wan'er's words. The Xia family is currently an ally, fighting against the Night Watchers together, and the person Xia Qiang said who wants to harm these two people is most likely the Night Watchers.

Following this line of thought, this pair of brothers and sisters should be the heirs of a large family. Because the family opposes the plan of the Night Watchers, they are hunted down.

Next, everyone introduced each other.

The cute woman with a bun behind Xia Qiang is called Zhou Tong.

The man in a blue sweater and a sloppy look is Yuan Xiaotian.

The tall woman in black-framed glasses and a white shirt is Li Mengyao.

The last man in a windbreaker and a serious face is Feng Jie.
