Things unfolded far more smoothly than anyone had anticipated. Liu Yong, showing no resistance, even waved them on and asked to be led. A glint of satisfaction danced upon the lips of the leader.
At first, Liu Yong had thought this would be a challenging ordeal, but he had a change of heart. Two primary reasons influenced his decision: firstly, Li Changle was also present, and he didn't want to terrify her; and secondly, he possessed an inner fearlessness and a desire to uncover the mastermind. He was willing to accompany them to find out.
The group arrived in several off-road vehicles, a clear sign of familiarity with this operation. They assigned Liu Yong and Chen Hu to separate vehicles without a hint of resistance. After they settled into their cars, two imposing figures flanked Liu Yong, one to his left and one to his right. They efficiently placed a black hood over Liu Yong, while Chen Hu presumably received the same treatment.
