Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

Li Cu's sudden disappearance is an undeniable fact.

Mr. Wang immediately ordered, "Notify all teams to assemble! Conduct a full-scale search for Li Cuo!"

Wang Cen responded, "Yes!"

Meanwhile, Mr. Wang himself led a group to the training room to find Ling Yue!

He still believed that Li Cu's sudden disappearance was related to Ling Yue.

At the Wang family base, the whistle for emergency assembly kept ringing out.

Wang Xiaoyuan, sitting in the dormitory, stood up in surprise and opened the door, only to see everyone running towards the assembly point.

She remembered Li Cu and rushed to Li Cu's dormitory, only to find that no one was there.

For some reason, her heart suddenly panicked, and she followed the crowd.

As the leader of the action team, Wang Can immediately got up from the ground upon hearing the assembly whistle, intending to assemble. However, just as he was about to run out of the training room, Ling Yue pinned him against the wall from behind with one hand.

Wang Can frowned and struggled, "Ling Yue, let me go! Something's happened outside, I have to go to the assembly point now!"

Ling Yue looked at the end of the corridor outside the door and said, "Perhaps you need to wait a while."

Wang Can was confused and was still struggling against the wall, trying to pry himself off: "What do you mean, wait a minute? I'm not kidding you, let me go right now!"

Just then, Mr. Wang appeared in the corridor with his entourage.

Hearing Ling Yue's words, Mr. Wang chuckled a few times: "Miss Ling's hearing is indeed superb. Wang Can, stay behind. Tonight's black class will be led by Wang Cen."

Wang Can looked on with confusion, but stopped struggling.

Ling Yue then released him, walked to the door, and said to Mr. Wang, "It seems the incident is related to me?"

Mr. Wang gave a forced smile, staring intently at Ling Yue, and said, word by word, "Li Cu has disappeared."

Ling Yue raised an eyebrow, looking at him thoughtfully: "Is Mr. Wang using Li Cu to threaten me?"

Mr. Wang frowned: "Don't you know where Li Cu went?"

Ling Yue seemed to finally realize something was amiss. He slowly dropped his nonchalant demeanor, frowned, and asked solemnly, "Mr. Wang, what do you mean by that?"

Mr. Wang was puzzled by her attitude. Could it be that Li Cu's disappearance really had nothing to do with her?

He glanced at Wang Can, who also looked shocked by Li Cu's disappearance.

This actually made Mr. Wang feel very troubled.

If Ling Yue was behind Li Cu's disappearance, as long as Ling Yue is controlled, it's only a matter of time before Li Cu is found.

In this way, the matter of "Li Cu's disappearance" will no longer have any impact on the Wang family at headquarters.

But if Li Cu really did disappear into thin air under the dual surveillance of the Wang family and the computing department, what kind of impact would that have...?

Thinking of this, Mr. Wang felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

He seemed to be witnessing the scene many years ago when the Wang family brought down the Zhang family.

Suspicion among internal members, questioning of faith, and finally, a collapse in trust with the top leadership, caused the entire edifice to crumble overnight!

And the Wang family will face everything!

Internally, there were suspicions that spies or traitors might not have been identified by the computing department's system in time, leading to doubts about the computing department system, which the Wang family regarded as their faith and trusted absolutely, and thus prompting reflection.

Reflecting on the past years, were all the "traitors" who were purged because the system gave a ratio of 30% really traitors?

This is a catastrophic blow to the Wang family, who have relied on the system for so many years!

Moreover, having lost trust in the system, how will they distinguish who is a member of the Wang family, who is a traitor, and who is a spy?

Even Mr. Wang himself felt an unprecedented sense of panic and helplessness.

He once firmly believed that the Wang family would never be defeated.

Even if the Kangbaluo people mobilized, joining forces with the Nine Gates and even the remaining forces of the Zhang family to annihilate them.

As long as any member of the Wang family escapes alive, they can continue to rely on their faith, lie low once more, and rebuild and strengthen the Wang family!

Because the Wang family wasn't built on bloodlines, they only need to share common beliefs and goals to be able to be wiped out forever.

But now...

All the thoughts were fleeting; Mr. Wang gave Wang Can a look, signaling him to return to the team first.

Then he forced a smile at Ling Yue: "We have a group black class tonight, so we won't continue to entertain Miss Ling. Someone will take you to your room later."

He still can't give up looking for clues from Ling Yue.

They pretended to let her move around freely for the time being, but in reality, the so-called guest room had long been filled with surveillance equipment.

Personnel were also deployed nearby to monitor the area.

Let's see if she makes a move tonight!

Wang Can was taken away by Mr. Wang for questioning. The base was bustling with people, and search teams were everywhere.

Ling Yue was surprised to find that it was Wang Xiaoyuan who was responsible for leading her to the guest room.

Wang Xiaoyuan's expression was also not good, as if she was worried about Li Cu.

The two remained silent the entire way.

Only after escorting Ling Yue to her guest room did Wang Xiaoyuan hesitantly speak: "Miss Ling, do you really not know where Ya Li went?"

Ling Yue turned around, leaned against the door frame, and braced himself against the other side of the door frame with one hand, his whole body blocking the doorway.

Facing Wang Xiaoyuan, who was standing timidly with her head down, clutching her fingers, at first glance, she looked like a big sister bullying a little girl.

Ling Yue didn't rush to answer, but instead looked her up and down.

Wang Xiaoyuan, who was already feeling uneasy, became even more nervous.

Ling Yue only raised his hand and lightly lifted her chin when Wang Xiaoyuan showed signs of trying to escape.

When Wang Xiaoyuan looked up, Ling Yue smiled and said calmly, "I'm very curious how you've lived to be over ninety and haven't aged at all."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoyuan's expression changed drastically. Her eyes widened in shock, and she tried to back away, but Ling Yue grabbed her by the neck first.

The hand gripping her neck wasn't strong enough to even make her feel suffocated, yet Wang Xiaoyuan couldn't pry it off even with both hands.

With tears welling up in her eyes, she was forced to look up at Ling Yue: "What are you saying? I don't understand. Let me go!"

Ling Yue smiled, straightened up, and gently patted her back with his other hand.

Then, seeing Wang Xiaoyuan's sudden realization, she nodded slightly: "You remember now? I was just curious about who you really were. The real Shen Qiong was taken to Gutongjing by Huang Yan after the college entrance examination and left there forever."

Wang Xiaoyuan stopped struggling and looked at Ling Yue: "You can feel bones?"

Ling Yue didn't answer her pointless question and continued, "Wang Cen's attitude towards you is strange, as is Wang Can's; they seem to look down on you. If immortality is part of the Wang family's ideals, you should be considered an important experimental subject. Why are you treated like an ordinary member of the Wang family?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoyuan suddenly laughed, tears still on her face: "Then you've misunderstood."

Ling Yue tilted his head suspiciously.

Wang Xiaoyuan stopped trying to pry her hands off her, and hastily wiped away her tears. "Do you think my face is fake?"

Ling Yue scanned her face and shook his head.

Wang Xiaoyuan's eyes were somewhat unfocused, as if she were lost in some kind of memory: "I have indeed lived for more than eighty years, but I haven't really lived that many years."

Ling Yue seemed to realize something, released his grip on Wang Xiaoyuan's hand, and interrupted her, "Wait a minute, let me clean the room first."

Wang Xiaoyuan grabbed her hand, shook her head, and said ambiguously, "No need, I probably won't live much longer anyway."

There seemed to be footsteps approaching quickly.

Although Wang Xiaoyuan didn't have Ling Yue's hearing, she had already guessed it. She quickened her pace: "It's the black substance inside the bronze door! I was..."

As an anesthetic was injected into Wang Xiaoyuan's neck, her eyes rolled back and she collapsed to the ground.

The Wang family members, who were responsible for monitoring Ling Yue, were nearby. Upon realizing that Wang Xiaoyuan intended to expose her secret, Mr. Wang immediately issued an order to arrest her.

The Wang family members nearby immediately jumped out from their hiding places. The whole thing happened in less than a minute, which was not enough time for Wang Xiaoyuan to say anything more.

However, Ling Yue never intended to stop the Wang family from controlling Wang Xiaoyuan.

She simply stood at the doorway of the room, silently watching Wang Xiaoyuan being dragged away.

The black substance inside the bronze door?

Wang Xiaoyuan said she did live to be over eighty years old, but not really that many years, and that she might not live much longer.

Her face is just like Shen Qiong's. Is there some kind of connection between her and Shen Qiong?

What was she going to say in the end?

Was she...?

Is the black substance inside the bronze door directly related to her condition?

Of course, Ling Yue could have dodged away with Wang Xiaoyuan the moment the Wang family made their move, allowing her to finish her last sentence.

But Ling Yue also knew that if she really listened to what Wang Xiaoyuan said, Mr. Wang would not let her stay here any longer.

Tomorrow is the day Wu Xie will lead his men to break in.

They need to give the Wang family enough time to cultivate and spread the fear and unease of their collapsing faith.

She cannot leave now.
