After she became the daughter of a vicious warlord, she cleaned herself up

Chapter 245 Abandoned Warehouse

As night falls and the lights come on, the prosperity and bustle of Shanghai are gradually swallowed up by the night.

After get off work, Jiang Shiyuan did not return to Wanguo Apartment immediately.

She drove the car to the door of a restaurant in the Japanese Concession, parked the car, and then walked into the restaurant carrying a paper bag.

When she came out again, she had changed into dark clothes and put on a baseball cap with the brim pulled down low, covering most of her face.

Tonight, she is going to explore the mysterious abandoned warehouse.

This place, which she accidentally saw from the incomplete documents, was full of unknowns and dangers.

But in order to find out the truth that may be hidden in the "Thorn" plan and to protect her comrades, she must take a risk.

At the same time, a pair of eyes were watching her secretly.

Wada Hoko wore a black windbreaker and a wide-brimmed hat, hiding herself in the crowd.

She followed Jiang Shiyuan carefully, keeping a distance so as not to lose him but also not to be easily discovered.

Jiang Shiyuan's figure shuttled among the crowd. Sometimes she walked quickly, and sometimes she stopped and watched, as if she was looking for something.

Wada Hoko followed closely, her eyes full of confusion and vigilance.

She always felt that Jiang Shiyuan was hiding some secret, and this secret might be related to the disappearance of Minamizō Yunko.

Jiang Shiyuan, with his familiarity with Shanghai and his extraordinary alertness, quickly noticed someone tailing him.

The two started a silent chase on the dimly lit street.

She remained calm and continued to move forward, but her mind was rapidly thinking of countermeasures.

Jiang Shiyuan realized that he must get rid of Wada Suozi's tracking as soon as possible.

Otherwise, tonight's operation will fail.

After passing through several busy streets, Jiang Shiyuan arrived at a lively night market.

The place is bustling with people, brightly lit, and the aroma of various snacks fills the air.

Jiang Shiyuan blended into the crowd, using the crowd and stalls as cover to cleverly change direction.

Sometimes she went into a narrow alley and sometimes appeared on another street, making it difficult to predict.

Wada Suoko was caught off guard by this sudden change.

She tried hard to find Jiang Shiyuan in the crowd, but could not lock on the target.

Finally, at a corner, Jiang Shiyuan completely disappeared from her sight.

Wada Suoko stood there, looking around, her heart full of regret and unwillingness. She still underestimated Jiang Shiyuan's ability.

At this time, Jiang Shiyuan had successfully escaped from the pursuit and came to a desolate place on the edge of the Japanese Concession.

According to the information on the file, the abandoned warehouse is nearby.

She walked along a rugged path towards her destination.

There was silence all around, with only the occasional chirping of insects adding a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

Finally, a dilapidated warehouse appeared in front of Jiang Shiyuan.

The door of the warehouse was closed, vines were climbing up the walls, and the glass on the windows had long been broken.

The entire warehouse was shrouded in a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, which made people shudder.

Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath and pushed open the heavy warehouse door.

A stale smell of dust and mildew hit her in the face, choking her and making her cough a few times.

The interior of the warehouse was pitch black, with only a few faint rays of light coming through the broken windows.

Jiang Shiyuan took out a flashlight from his coat pocket, turned on the switch, and walked carefully into the warehouse.

The beam of light swept through the darkness, illuminating the cluttered corners and the dusty ground.

Jiang Shiyuan carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find some valuable clues.

Suddenly, her eyes stopped at a corner.

There seemed to be some signs of a fight, with broken glass and wood chips scattered on the ground, as well as a few dark red bloodstains.

She squatted down and carefully examined the bloodstains on the ground, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

Just then, her hand touched a cold object.

Jiang Shiyuan picked it up and, with the help of the flashlight, discovered that it was a button.

The texture of the button is very special, with an exquisite pattern engraved on it.

Jiang Shiyuan looked at the pattern carefully and his pupils suddenly shrank.

She had seen this pattern before in the documents on Minamizo Yunko's desk!

That was the mark of a mysterious organization, and this organization seemed to be inextricably linked to the "Thorn" plan.

Jiang Shiyuan's heart was in turmoil as she realized that she might have discovered a shocking secret.

Just as Jiang Shiyuan was about to leave the warehouse, he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps.

The sound came from deep inside the warehouse, and it seemed like someone was approaching this side.

Jiang Shiyuan's heart sank suddenly. She quickly turned off the flashlight and hid in a dark corner.

She held her breath and waited quietly, her heart filled with tension and anxiety.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Jiang Shiyuan's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

She didn't know who the visitor was, nor did she know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend.

But she knew that she had to stay calm in order to deal with the danger that was about to come.

The footsteps stopped at the other end of the warehouse, as if looking for something.

Jiang Shiyuan held the pistol in his pocket tightly, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.

The warehouse was eerily quiet. Beads of sweat broke out on Jiang Shiyuan's forehead, and he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

At this moment, a dark shadow appeared at the door of the warehouse, blocking the faint light.

Jiang Shiyuan raised his gun and pointed it at the door.

"Who?" Her voice rang out in the darkness, with a barely perceptible tremor.

"It's me." A familiar voice came, startling Jiang Shiyuan.

In the dim light, she could see the face of the person coming.

It turned out to be Takahashi Yui!

"Youyi? Why are you here?" Jiang Shiyuan asked in surprise.

Takahashi Yui walked forward and said softly, "I was worried about your safety, so I followed you."

"You..." Jiang Shiyuan was speechless for a moment.

"Ayako, are you okay?" Takahashi Yui asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Jiang Shiyuan shook his head, "How did you know I was here?"

Takahashi Yui patiently explained: "I saw you park your car in front of the Xi Xiang Feng Hotel and you didn't eat in the restaurant. I felt something was wrong, so I followed you all the way."

"So, what is this place? Why did you sneak here?"

Jiang Shiyuan's brain worked rapidly, and he immediately used a mixture of true and false information to cover up the lie.

After listening to this, Takahashi Yui was silent for a moment, and then said with a worried look on his face: "Ayako, your current actions are too risky!"

"Since you suspect that this abandoned warehouse is related to Section Chief Nanzo's disappearance, why didn't you tell me directly when you were in the Special Higher Section?"

"What if there is really an ambush here? You are coming here alone and you may be in danger at any time!"

"Youyi, thank you for your concern." Jiang Shiyuan looked into his eyes and said seriously, "But this is just my personal guess, and there are potential risks. I can't implicate everyone so arbitrarily."

"So, I chose to explore the way myself first."

"Okay." Takahashi Yui sighed and ruffled her hair, "Ayako is always so considerate and thoughtful of others."

"Well, let me accompany you in the investigation now."

"Youyi, you are so good to me..." Jiang Shiyuan pretended to be moved.

Takahashi Yui suddenly said solemnly: "Ayako, you know I love you very much."

"So no matter what happens, I will be with you."

Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were filled with tears as she tightly held Takahashi Yui's strong hand.

As long as she continued to show her feelings of gratitude and attachment, she could make Takahashi Yui dizzy and not think about the loopholes in her words.

Then the two of them smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

They checked the warehouse again, but found no other valuable clues except bloodstains that seemed to be from a fight.

So the two of them left the warehouse together and listed this place as the first scene of Minamizō Yunko's disappearance.

What they didn't know was that shortly after they left, another dark shadow appeared at the warehouse door.

The shadow wandered around the warehouse for a while, seemingly looking for something.

Eventually, the black shadow disappeared into the night, leaving only the abandoned warehouse, still silent in the darkness.

The truth behind the "Thorn" plan and the mysterious organization has become even more confusing...
