As Yuxi went to check on Mei Xing, Lu Aotian received a call from Chen Wei. The air in the room was tense, filled with the heavy anticipation of what was to come.
Lu Aotian moved to the floor-to-ceiling window, the cityscape sprawling beneath him, as he answered the call.
"We're ready to get answers from Ranger," Chen Wei reported, his voice steady but carrying a note of urgency.
"And the other things I asked you to find?" Lu Aotian inquired, his eyes narrowing as he stared into the distant horizon, his hand tucked in his pocket.
"I'm on it, boss. Everything will be ready when you arrive," Chen Wei assured him.
"Good. I'll be there in half an hour. Keep him alive," Lu Aotian instructed, his tone cold and resolute. He ended the call with a decisive press of a button and turned to face the two other men in the room.
"I have to go," he announced, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade.
