Chapter 40: Secret Meeting

Inside the small warehouse, Gu Yichen, Lu Ling'er, and Mo Xian found a temporary respite. The warehouse was dimly lit and the air was filled with the smell of dust, but for them, the seclusion here provided a temporary safety.

Mo Xian took the opportunity to formulate his next plan. He whispered to Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er, "We will hide here temporarily and buy time to wait for further information. I will contact my superiors and find out the forces behind the enemy as soon as possible. Please remain vigilant and minimize unnecessary actions."

Gu Yichen nodded. Although he still had doubts about Mo Xian's identity, he understood that trust was the only option in this situation. He looked at Lu Ling'er, his eyes filled with gratitude and determination. "Ling'er, we must remain calm and wait for news from Mo Xian."

Lu Linger gently held Gu Yichen's hand and gave him an encouraging look: "We will get through this. Thank you, Mo Xian."

Mo Xian nodded, his expression becoming more serious. "Before that, I need to go to a safe place and contact my superiors. Please wait here and stay alert. If there is anything unusual, please inform me immediately."

Mo Xian picked up a package containing some simple medical supplies and dry food and prepared to leave. He glanced at Gu Yichen and Lu Linger, then turned and left the small warehouse, heading towards the planned secret location.

Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er waited silently in the warehouse. Although the environment was simple, their mood gradually calmed down. Lu Ling'er took out a piece of cloth and wiped the dust from the warehouse. Gu Yichen checked his sword to make sure it was in good condition.

Time passed slowly, the sound of the wind and occasional footsteps outside making the atmosphere tense. Gu Yichen sat in a corner, pondering Mo Xian's identity and the crisis they faced. He knew that the difficulties before them were not only external enemies, but also possible internal doubts.

Finally, Mo Xian reappeared at the warehouse door. He looked a little tired, but there was a glimmer of triumph in his expression. He walked into the warehouse, closed the door, and whispered, "The situation is more complicated than we imagined, but we have made some progress."

Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er immediately turned their attention to Mo Xian, waiting for him to continue his explanation. Mo Xian pulled a secret letter from a package and handed it to Gu Yichen, "This is the information I just received from my superiors. The forces behind the enemy are complex, with multiple forces operating in secret. We need to be cautious."

Gu Yichen took the secret letter and read it quickly. The letter mentioned that the enemy's main goal was to prevent them from meeting with the prefect, and also mentioned several key figures associated with the enemy.

"This information is very important," Gu Yichen said, "but we need more details. What is the enemy's goal? What is their plan?"

Mo Xian nodded. "According to intelligence from our superiors, the enemy's target may be related to the case the prefect is investigating. The prefect has recently been searching for some sensitive documents that involve some unknown secrets. The enemy obviously wants to stop the progress of this matter to protect their interests."

Gu Yichen frowned after hearing this: "We must find the prefect and stop the enemy's plan. But we don't have any clues at the moment. How can we find the prefect?"

Mo Xian thought for a moment, then said, "I will use my network of connections to try to get more information about the prefect's whereabouts. At the same time, we can try to find some trustworthy locals who may know something about the prefect's activities."

Lu Linger interrupted, "Mo Xian, the information you mentioned is very important to us. We need to find a safe channel to avoid being discovered by the enemy."

Mo Xian nodded: "We will hide in a safe place for the time being and wait for further news. At the same time, I will arrange for personnel to closely monitor the enemy's movements to ensure our safety."

After some discussion, Gu Yichen, Lu Ling'er, and Mo Xian reached a consensus. They decided to hide in the small warehouse for the time being, awaiting further news from Mo Xian. To prevent being discovered by the enemy, they also prepared some backup plans to ensure they could respond to any emergency at any time.

As night fell again, the atmosphere in the warehouse remained tense, but Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er both had full confidence in Mo Xian's arrangements. They knew that the challenge ahead would not be easy, but as long as they united, they could possibly resolve the current predicament.
