A list of the top ten main characters: Ye Wenjie from the Three-Body Problem at the beginning.

There was no reason why they wanted to take away his technical staff, not to mention Su Mu's inexplicable wariness made it even less likely that he would agree to this.

"What exactly is going on? Why does this person suddenly want to take you out of this place?"

Hearing Su Mu's words, An Tianming smiled with a hint of wickedness and helplessness. If he had known about this, he wouldn't still be so confused.

“I really don’t know much about this. Someone suddenly told me to go out with him, saying that there were some things that needed to be confirmed.”

However, they didn't tell An Tianming just how important this matter was, that he should leave the battlefield to confirm it with him, so An Tianming naturally refused without hesitation.

After An Tianming refused the offer, they encountered An Yan, who had come to discuss weapons with him.

An Yan wanted to discuss something with him because he wasn't entirely sure about it on his own.

However, those people were not weak in combat, so they were still very vigilant just now.

"Their fighting skills are indeed not weak. But I'm curious to know what their purpose is in coming to see you this time, given their secretive and underhanded manner."

What's even stranger is that after those masked men left Su Mu and his group, they didn't seem unhappy at all because An Tianming didn't leave with them.

Instead, they contacted the other side directly, and nobody knew what they were going to do next.

"The plan is progressing smoothly and has already attracted the attention of Su Mu's side. You can make your preparations now."

When they were reporting, they said their plan was going very smoothly. If I were Su Mu here, he would definitely feel very troubled, because he had clearly thwarted their plan.

Another masked man following behind him questioned him. The person they were asking was wearing an extremely bright color, and only his mask was that color, clearly indicating that he held a dominant position among them.

"This is not something we should be doing. We just need to complete our plan and lure Su Mu away. The rest is not our concern."

The man hesitated and retreated. Su Mu naturally found them very strange; they had come here specifically to attract his attention.

However, they were unsure whether Su Mu would believe them or have any other doubts.

But Su Mu was genuinely puzzled. He wasn't quite sure what these people were up to. Why? They were so determined to have An Tianming go with them, yet suddenly they hesitated?

Chapter 158: Su Mu Must Be Restrained

Su Mu found it very strange. Now was the time when they needed to fight, so what could have made them need to take these technicians out?

In fact, they wanted to take away not only An Tianming, but also An Yan; they had certain ideas about her when they met her.

"Have you done anything? I'm not trying to accuse you, I'm just asking if you've done anything that would attract attention."

Su Mu found it very strange. He rarely acted so cautiously about certain things, so he wanted to ask what was going on.

Hearing what Su Mu said, An Tianming himself felt very troubled.

He looked at Su Mu with some confusion. If he could, he would definitely want to explain this matter as well.

"An Yan and I only discussed weapons. She asked us before if we could improve the combat effectiveness of those weapons, and that's what we were discussing."

Su Mu still found his inexplicable sense of vigilance very strange.

He had never met those people before, but he couldn't possibly be so wary just because of this; there must be some reason.

"Is it because those people had never been in contact with us before, and they said they were going to take us out, but they didn't say where they were from?"

He stared at Su Mu with some concern as he spoke, and Su Mu did hesitate after hearing what he said.

However, he didn't say anything more, nor did he express his thoughts at this time, even though he actually found these things very strange.

He had only just met these people, and they were all complete strangers. So why did they want to take An Tianming away?

"You should be more vigilant. No matter who comes to you, don't go out with them casually. I don't know why, but he always feels that these people are doing very strange things."

An Tianming naturally agreed. He wouldn't ask too many questions about these matters; he only needed to know that Su Mu must have his own reasons for doing these things, and that would be enough.

Su Mu had no reason to do anything to hurt him, especially since what that person said when he came to him before was indeed very strange.

An Tianming smiled at Su Mu. He was very grateful for what Su Mu had done. At least Su Mu was doing this for An Tianming's sake and to prevent him from encountering any more danger.

"Anyway, I still want to thank you. Otherwise, I might have encountered some dangerous situations."

He gave Su Mu an awkward smile as he spoke. He did want to clarify some things, but he couldn't explain what exactly was going on or what Su Mu needed to do.

If they rashly follow those people, will they be seen as deliberately provoking them?

Although Su Mu would not feel any fear because of this, he felt that Su Mu did not need to take such a risk because of him.

Although this person claimed to want to take him out of here, he failed to achieve his goal, so he thought they didn't need to bother with the matter.

"Don't think this is something that can be easily resolved. They want to take you out of this place. What is their purpose? Have you considered that taking a technician like you out when a battle is about to begin?"

Moreover, they didn't say where they were going to take these technicians; their original purpose was only to reach An Tianming.

But after they saw An Yan, they wanted to take her with them as well.

So this is a very strange thing. Of course, Su Mu reminded them of these things because of his own concerns.

"There's no need to hesitate at all. I know you're asking these questions now because you want to do something. I'm not about to let those people hurt you right now."

An Tianming smiled helplessly. He was indeed worried, but not because those people might hurt him.

It's quite clear that now that he's with Su Mu, who could possibly hurt her?

Moreover, although what those people did was extremely absurd, they did not engage in any forceful or domineering behavior.

They didn't attempt to snatch people directly from Su Mu, which is enough to show that they still had some concerns.

"So there's no need for you to be so nervous about this. Of course I know you're doing these things for our benefit. I'm saying these things because I've misunderstood you a bit."

He smiled apologetically at him, knowing that some of his words might have misunderstood Su Mu's meaning, but Su Mu did not hold it against him.

"It's nothing serious. I do suspect those people. Anyway, you guys go and discuss it first. I'll find out who those people are."

The other group that left was originally there to lure Su Mu out, so that the others they sent out could successfully kidnap An Tianming and the others from Su Mu's hands.

They no longer needed to worry about whether An Tianming's people would have any doubts; their purpose was very clear.

All they needed to do was take An Tianming away from Su Mu's control. Of course, if they couldn't take him away, they would have to use their other plan: kill An Tianming directly.

"Killing An Tianming directly won't be that easy. In fact, what we need to do this time is the easiest thing. We just need to lure Su Mu out."

Another person wearing a mask said this to the person with the most brightly colored mask, but the person with the most brightly colored mask did not seem happy to hear this.

"Captain, you don't seem very happy. We've successfully aroused Su Mu's suspicion, and this person will definitely leave next."

Their captain frowned when he heard this. They had indeed caught Su Mu's attention and successfully made him suspicious of them.

Next, Su Mu will definitely try his best to find out what kind of people they are, but no one can be sure what method Su Mu will use to find out.

All they needed to do was figure out how to lure Su Mu out, and then carry out the plan to do so; nothing more.

Chapter 159: What is that thing, and where is it?

As for how to capture An Tianming, that's not something they should worry about. Someone will naturally go find An Tianming and take him away from Su Mu's control.

Their captain, however, did not seem very happy. He knew that what his team members said made sense.

“But I always feel that this is not something we can do just because we want to. Su Mu is probably much more cunning than we think. We need to prepare more and lure him out again before we can keep that person here.”

Even though Su Mu found their actions very strange, they still had to find a way to keep Su Mu here, otherwise all their previous plans would just become a joke.

Regardless of what Su Mu thinks, once he's lured out, all they need to do is keep him occupied.

"We shouldn't worry about anything else. In fact, whether or not they can successfully capture An Tianming is not something we should be concerned about."

An Tianming was surprised when Su Mu suddenly left, saying that he had figured out who those people were.

Those masked people seemed to be of great concern to Su Mu, while An Tianming, who was almost taken away by them, didn't seem to care much about it. However, Su Mu still felt very nervous.

Su Mu glanced lightly at the expressions of the people in front of him. He really had nothing to say and didn't care what their actions represented.

"No matter what these people do next, we don't need to care. Just like Su Mu said before, he will naturally handle this matter."

An Yan looked at him with a serious expression. He didn't want An Tianming to think too much, since those people were indeed after him.

It's impossible for him to be completely indifferent to this matter. At this moment, Su Mu saw those masked people. In fact, he had just stepped out when he saw these masked people.

The masked person didn't seem to be there to find Su Mu intentionally; rather, he felt that they probably had some ulterior motives.

"After Su Mu goes to take care of some things, we need to take An Tianming away. We need to use whatever means necessary to get past everyone else and take him away."

Su Mu didn't mean to eavesdrop, but he was just about to approach the masked man to ask him what their purpose was when he overheard their conversation.

“You make it sound so easy for you. That place is heavily guarded. It’s not something we can do just because we want to. And Su Mu is no fool.”

These people seemed impatient as they spoke, as if someone had proposed some conditions they were unwilling to accept. Su Mu frowned, finding it extremely strange.

"I'll leave here first to meet up with you. You said before that you could keep Su Mu in check, but now not only have you failed to restrain him, you've also made Su Mu suspicious about these matters. He'll wait until we meet up to discuss things further."

The man left as he spoke, and as he left, Su Mu frowned, hesitating whether he should follow him, as it could be dangerous.

"Send someone to keep an eye on An Tianming and his group. No matter what they are doing or who tries to get close to An Tianming, they must strictly verify who exactly is allowing them to approach."

Su Mu stared at his assistant and said this to him. This assistant usually only helped him with some miscellaneous tasks.

It's more appropriate to leave this matter to him now, and Su Mu then followed the person who left wearing a mask.

Su Mu thought carefully about the mask that person was wearing, which was second only to the most brightly colored mask he had ever seen.

Su Mu guessed that the small team that had just arrived must have determined their status by the color of their masks.

The brighter the color of the mask, the higher the status of the person. The person who spoke to Su Mu should be their captain.

Su Mu was still hesitating whether to meet with their captain.

Find out why they took An Tianming away.

However, after hesitating, he decided not to do so, because the matter might be more dangerous than he thought, and he did not want to alert these people before confirming their actions.

"Captain, didn't you say before that I would secretly find a way to capture An Tianming, and you would make a scene there to attract their attention? How come An Tianming is being targeted by Su Mu's people instead?"

To ensure that An Tianming and his companions would not be harmed, Su Mu sent people to keep an eye on An Tianming and An Yan. This was a very cautious move, as he did not want those people to suffer any harm.

"I'll explain why later. For now, stay here and don't go back to Su Mu's side to attract his attention. The most important thing is not to attract his attention again."

Their captain also looked very helpless, it seems they had no way of knowing when they would be able to capture An Tianming.

“We absolutely must capture An Tianming this time. What are you all hesitating for? No matter what Su Mu is thinking, we can just take An Tianming away.”

.....

They could even capture An Yan, and then they could bring both of these technicians back with them. Wouldn't that be a very exciting thing?

"I told you before that you should keep a low profile when doing things. This is Su Mu's territory. Do you really think that Su Mu has no one under his command who can fight?"

The person next to the captain seemed a little unhappy with what the captain said, and then another person with a plain-colored mask came up.

"Captain, don't hold a grudge against the vice-captain over this matter. Let's think about how to proceed with the next step of the plan."

After all, they still needed to capture An Tianming. An Tianming certainly wouldn't cooperate with them, and Su Mu had no intention of cooperating with them either.

Therefore, they were very dissatisfied, but they couldn't figure out how to resolve the issue.

Su Mu glanced at them. Because they were all wearing masks, Su Mu couldn't see their expressions, but he could see through the masks that their eyes were somewhat nervous.

What were they so nervous about? Talking to their captain made them nervous, but their captain didn't seem like the type to hurt others casually, so what exactly were they so nervous about? Su Mu began to have some doubts.

Chapter 160: An Tianming Became a Traitor!

Su Mu felt that these people's reactions were too strange. The kind of reaction he saw was the kind of expression that would appear when they were deceiving someone and were afraid that person would find out their thoughts.

However, Su Mu was indeed very nervous about what was happening in front of him, and this inexplicable tension made Su Mu feel very strange.

"What are you all so nervous about? I'm sorry, I overheard some of your conversation, but I think your goal is still to get back at An Tianming."

Su Mu suddenly spoke, seemingly startling the people in front of him. He noticed them staring at him nervously.

Of course, Su Mu wouldn't bother with this matter. Whatever these people were thinking, what did it have to do with him? After all, Su Mu didn't know the "500s" and had no connection with them whatsoever.

"What is the source of your tension? Or is it that your captain is a very unreasonable person?"

Su Mu's presence with them this time certainly made them very happy, but at the same time, Su Mu wouldn't let them get too cocky.

"We don't have much to say, but we want to say something, yet we're afraid to say it directly. Should I tell you some of our thoughts?"

Those people looked somewhat panicked, which could be seen through their eyes. Their eyes were filled with terror, and Su Mu couldn't quite explain why they had such expressions.

"I'm curious, what are you all so nervous about? Or do you already know I'm here and want to do something about it?"

He looked at the group of people with a smile on his face. He knew what they were thinking, and he also knew that these people must have some ulterior motives, or that it had nothing to do with him.

He didn't even care what these people could do; it wasn't something he would care about anyway.

"It seems you already knew I was secretly following you, which is why you did all this. Your purpose was simply to deliberately attract my attention at this time, wasn't it?"

As he spoke, he looked at the people in front of him. He knew what they were thinking, and that was enough. He didn't need to care too much about what they would do next.
