Chapter 179

179. Nested TrapsCreak—!

The door of Coffee Shop No. 777 was pushed open.

Lin Wuju slowly walked in, looking at the empty bar counter and suddenly narrowing his eyes.

“…Oh? No one here?”

Ding ling… ding ling…

His phone rang just then, and he picked it up faintly.

“Hello?”

“It’s me.”

“Wen Han?” Lin Wuju glanced at the bar counter, “Where are you?”

“…Keep me company while I drink.”

Lin Wuju hesitated for a moment, “Why all of a sudden do you want to drink? Are you feeling down?”

“Hmph! Do I look like I’m feeling down?” Wen Han immediately sneered, “Xiao Lin, do you think my mood would fluctuate so easily?”

“I believe you.”

“That’s best.” Wen Han sneered, “I’ve sent you the address.”

“…Okay, I’ll be right there.”

The call ended immediately.

In the quiet coffee shop, Lin Wuju’s face turned cold, his eyes scanning the room.

After a moment, he regained his smile and slowly turned to leave again.

…

Swish!

The instant he hung up, Wen Han’s face turned icy.

She put away her camera, quickly regaining her confident smile, and hailed a taxi to head to the agreed location.

“So that’s how it is.”

A natural witch, rarely seen in a thousand years, means a powerful soul, right?

The Recycling Station will stop at nothing, using various methods to harvest souls, right?

Lin Wuju observed for a year before choosing me. Whether it’s him or An Lisi, they’ve been very good to me, right?

When I approached Su Zeheng, they didn’t doubt me at all, and even encouraged me at the end, right?

From the beginning, I never fully trusted every word from the Light Magic Society and the Recycling Station; I was always half-believing, so the information they provided was also mixed with truth and lies, right?

Finally, what they want to harvest might not just be the souls that escaped from the demon world, right?

These questions kept surfacing in Wen Han’s mind.

She gazed out the window, and suddenly, Su Zeheng’s painful expression flashed by.

“?! ”

Her gaze instantly changed, taking a deep breath to calm herself.

“Damn…”

“?” At once, the driver looked at her in puzzlement.

Wen Han immediately gave a faint smile, restoring her composure, “Hello, could you tell me how much longer until we arrive?”

…

It was already late at night.

Most shops were closed, but bars and nightclubs were just entering their busiest phase.

In a famous bar in Star River City.

The noise around was particularly loud, ear-piercing.

Degenerate men and women were freely expressing their passion and fervor after getting drunk, each wearing a sickening smile on their faces.

With the multicolored lights, Lin Wuju, who usually appeared serious, slowly made his way through the crowd, finally finding Wen Han.

“Oh?”

Noticing many men surrounding her, he smiled faintly and walked over.

As soon as he arrived, those men were just driven away by Wen Han.

“You finally came?” Wen Han turned around, “I didn’t know your speed was this slow.”

“Magic isn’t used unless necessary, after all, we can’t afford to break the rules.” Lin Wuju sat down smiling, “So? Why come to the bar tonight? Feeling down?”

A flicker of confusion immediately flashed in Wen Han’s eyes, but she quickly calmed down.

The burning black flames gradually subsided.

“Can’t I come over if I’m fine?” She immediately sneered coldly, “Su Zeheng didn’t come earlier.”

“I know.”

“You knew?”

“I was at the coffee shop just now, and you weren’t there.”

“Tch!” Wen Han rolled her eyes, “I didn’t expect him to still choose work. Looks like I need to be more ruthless!”

Lin Wuju smiled calmly, “No rush. Besides… He doesn’t need you anymore.”

“Oh?” Wen Han furrowed her brows, “What do you mean?”

“An Lisen personally took action, and Su Zeheng couldn’t stand against him. Guess what the outcome was?”

“Xiao Lin.” Wen Han chuckled coldly, pinching his collar, “Let me say this again, don’t use rhetorical questions!”

“Ok!” Lin Wuju raised both hands, “An Lisen easily fled, leaving a few residents injured. In short, Su Zeheng failed, watching helplessly as the hostage was harmed, making him the only member of the Light Magic Society who didn’t complete the mission.”

Wen Han’s eyes suddenly lowered.

Lin Wuju continued smiling, “Failure in both love and work, I think he has enough pain. With his personality… I guess he wouldn’t need the Light Magic Society to punish himself.”

“…Oh.”

“I’m really feeling down.” Lin Wuju raised an eyebrow, “Really? Could it be that my witch really likes that idiot?”

Amidst the deafening music, Wen Han’s eyes, filled with murderous intent, slowly lifted.

“Say that again if you dare?”

“Just joking.” Lin Wuju laughed loudly, “I was just…”

“Hey!” At that moment, a voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.

Wen Han turned around, several burly men, drunk, quickly approaching.

“You just said you wanted to dance with me?” the gold chain-wearing big guy stumbled over.

Smack!

He reached out, but Wen Han dodged instantly.

“Get lost.” Wen Han coldly spoke, “Don’t provoke me.”

“Damn bitch!” The men exchanged glances, suddenly laughing, “You dare reject us?”

“I said,” her frustration clearly showing on her face, Wen Han seemed to lose patience and couldn’t control her emotions, “Get lost!”

“Damn you!”

The curses that followed were completely different from the tenderness he had shown earlier.

The big men, as if humiliated, their faces changed, about to charge forward.

“Hold it!”

At the last second, Lin Wuju raised a glass, smiling as he blocked them, “Everyone, I think…”

Bam!

Before he finished speaking, Wen Han suddenly grabbed a chair and smashed it onto the leader’s head.

The fight was about to start!

Immediately, the other big men erupted in anger, swinging their fists at Lin Wuju and Wen Han.

They swiftly retreated, and the big men attacked again.

Surrounding cries of alarm rose, and security guards noticed the problem and rushed over.

In an instant, the music in the bar stopped abruptly.

The young people still dancing frowned and looked around.

Lin Wuju and the big men also raised their heads.

The fight mysteriously stopped, only to be harshly broken by a voice.

“Move move!!!”

Several policemen swiftly stepped forward amid the crowd’s retreat.

They grabbed the big men, and instantly caught Wen Han and Lin Wuju.

“We received a report of a fight here,” the lead policeman scanned the scene, “Come with us!”

Wen Han smiled faintly, cooperatively allowing the police to handcuff her.

Beside her, Lin Wuju rolled his eyes and then focused on Wen Han.

“…?”

He neither spoke nor resisted, ultimately raising his hands obediently.

“We are good citizens, willing to cooperate with the police.”
