Chapter 157 Difficult Tracking

They finally found a secret exit and successfully escaped from the dangerous building. However, the situation outside was not optimistic. The sky was gloomy and the wind was howling. The leaden clouds were heavy and pressed down on their heads, as if a downpour would fall at any time. The cold wind was like a knife, scratching people's cheeks and blowing up their messy clothes.

Ruan Jianan held the important document with a serious and firm expression. His eyes burned with determination, and his tightly pursed lips revealed his inner resolve. "We must find the people on the list as soon as possible and not let the Black Shadow Organization know about it." His voice was deep and powerful, and was particularly clear in the cold wind.

Lin Yanan tightened her collar, her eyes showing a hint of nervousness. She glanced at the document from time to time, as if it was their last straw. "But where do we start looking?" Her voice trembled slightly, and her hands unconsciously rubbed the corners of her clothes.

Zhong Yuan looked into the distance and pondered for a moment. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were deep and worried. "Let's start with the places we are familiar with, maybe we can find some clues." His voice was steady and calm, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

So, they began their difficult journey of tracking. Everywhere they went, they carefully observed the surroundings, not missing any suspicious signs. Their footsteps were light and cautious, trying not to make any noise.

In a narrow alley, Ruan Jianan suddenly stopped, his ears moved, and he seemed to hear something.

"Shh..." He motioned for everyone to be quiet. He put his finger to his lips and looked around vigilantly.

Lin Yanan and Zhong Yuan immediately stopped what they were doing and held their breath, but their heartbeats accelerated involuntarily.

Ruan Jianan listened attentively. It was a faint sound of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of clothes rubbing against each other. His eyes became sharper and he slowly moved towards the source of the sound.

Lin Yanan looked at Ruan Jianan's back nervously, her fingers tightly clenched on the corner of her clothes, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Zhong Yuan clenched the weapon in his hand, his body tense, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

Ruan Jianan approached the corner of the alley step by step, his heartbeat ringing like a drum in his ears. When he finally saw the figure clearly, his heart tightened.

It was a strange man, thin and evasive. When he saw Ruan Jianan, he was obviously panicked and turned around to run.

Ruan Jianan rushed forward and grabbed the man by the collar. "Who are you? Why are you here?" he asked sternly.

The man struggled to break free, mumbling: "Let me go, I don't know what you are talking about!"

Lin Yanan and Zhong Yuan also rushed over. Lin Yanan looked at the man and said, "Maybe he knows something."

Zhong Yuan stepped forward and threatened: "Tell the truth, or you will be in trouble!"

The man's face turned pale and his body trembled. "I... I'm just passing by."

Ruan Jianan stared into his eyes, "I don't believe it. You are sneaking around here. There must be something wrong."

At this moment, the man suddenly pulled out a dagger from his arms and stabbed Ruan Jianan. Ruan Jianan reacted quickly, dodged sideways, and kicked the dagger out of the man's hand.

Zhong Yuan took the opportunity to subdue the man and pressed him to the ground.

The man shouted desperately: "Please let me go, I don't know anything!"

Lin Yanan said: "If you don't tell us, we won't let you go easily."

After some questioning, the man finally revealed some useful information.

They continued on their way based on this information and came to a busy market with a bustling crowd and noisy voices.

Ruan Jianan was observing the people around him vigilantly. Suddenly, he saw a hurried figure who looked somewhat similar to someone in the document.

They followed quietly.
