Chapter 931: Chapter 931: Go Down and Explore

"Tang Xin?" A voice of surprise came from inside.

"Lin Xue? Is that you?"

Tang Ming was slightly startled, wasn’t Lin Xue captured? How could she be here?

"It’s me, what are you doing here? Hurry over."

Lin Xue’s joyful voice came through.

Tang Ming quickly walked in the direction of the voice, and when he was close, he saw Lin Xue holding a steel pipe, striking what looked like an elevator door, and Lin Xue’s outfit...

Lin Xue was wearing brown short shorts that revealed her thighs, with a low-cut, shoulderless top that looked incredibly sexy.

"Sis, what are you doing?"

Tang Ming speechlessly looked at Lin Xue, "And what’s with your outfit? Didn’t you leave your dress in the bathroom?"

"Yeah, underneath the dress, I had this on. It’s easier to move around."

Lin Xue chuckled and angrily shouted, "Someone actually snatched my phone in the bathroom earlier! I’m so mad. Who dares steal from a cop and even sneak into the ladies’ room; they’ve got some nerve."

"Your phone was stolen?"

Tang Ming was slightly surprised, who was he talking to on the phone earlier?

"Yeah, that little thief ran fast. I took off my dress to chase him. He rode a motorcycle, and I drove after him all the way to this factory, and here he disappeared."

Lin Xue pointed to a motorcycle not far away and her own car, explaining in confusion.

"You’ve been deliberately led here."

Tang Ming sighed in resignation.

"By whom?"

Lin Xue was slightly taken aback and looked blankly at Tang Ming.

"How would I know? I thought Fu Renjie and his crew had captured you, so I rushed all the way here."

Tang Ming sighed in frustration and walked up to Lin Xue, "If you’re chasing a thief, just chase. Why are you prying the elevator door?"

"Did you also realize it’s an elevator?"

Lin Xue exclaimed in surprise and excitement, "I’m sure the little thief slipped through this door, but I can’t get it open no matter what. There’s certainly something strange down there."

"This is just an abandoned factory, what could be strange?"

Tang Ming glanced around, besides the elevator door, everything seemed fine.

"I’m exploring, what if there’s a huge criminal gang hiding below? Help me pry the door open."

Lin Xue urged impatiently.

"Alright, I’m curious about what’s hidden here."

Tang Ming thought for a moment and didn’t refuse Lin Xue’s request, feeling the place was odd right from the start.

Tang Ming approached the elevator door, reached his hand to the side of the door, and found a protruding button. He gently pressed it, and the elevator immediately responded.

"Wow, why didn’t I see a button?"

Lin Xue looked surprised at Tang Ming.

"Because you’re too dumb. Since it’s an elevator, there must be buttons, just more hidden."

Tang Ming rolled his eyes at Lin Xue with disdain.

"Hmph, you’re just lucky. So what if you found it."

Lin Xue glared at Tang Ming, threw away the steel pipe, unwilling to concede.

Soon the elevator door opened, and the bright light made Tang Ming and Lin Xue squint.

"There’s still power, something is definitely wrong here."

Lin Xue adapted quickly and went into the elevator.

"Indeed, something’s wrong."

Tang Ming squinted, noticing the elevator’s lighting equipment didn’t match the surrounding desolation, wondering what was hidden inside.

They entered the elevator and pressed the only button to go down. The door closed, and it began descending.

Lin Xue drew a mini handgun from her thigh, watching the elevator door excitedly, ready to showcase her skills when they arrived.

"You actually brought a gun?"

Tang Ming widened his eyes, staring at Lin Xue like she was a ghost.

Attending such a high-profile party, Lin Xue wearing action gear under her dress was one thing, but carrying a weapon? It was peculiar.

"I’m a cop; I need to be ready for emergencies, so naturally I carry a gun, and handcuffs."

Lin Xue fished around her waist and pulled out handcuffs.

"I... How did that little thief manage to steal your phone then?"

Tang Ming looked at Lin Xue in puzzlement.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue blushed and said embarrassedly, "I was just about to go to the bathroom."

Thinking of it, Lin Xue wished she could tear the little thief apart. Her layered outfit made bathroom visits tricky, and as soon as she squatted, her purse hanging on the wall was snatched from outside—it was bizarre.

This was why Lin Xue was determined to chase the thief—an audacious criminal taking advantage of her situation had to be severely punished.

"Alright, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything."

Thinking about the scene, Tang Ming couldn’t help but want to laugh, seeing it being hoisted away was odd, but knowing this violent lady’s temper, he held back.

The elevator reached the bottom. When the door opened, Tang Ming and Lin Xue were both stunned.

A brightly lit corridor appeared before them, filled with advanced electronic equipment, with a complex layout.

"What is this place?"

Lin Xue held her gun, looked around in disbelief, and asked.

"How should I know? I’m not from the Imperial City."

Tang Ming stepped out of the elevator, furrowing his brow and surveying the surroundings, "Seems like there’s no one here, nor the little thief you mentioned."

"The place is huge, that thief must be hiding."

Lin Xue speculated firmly and gritted her teeth, "No matter where he hides, I will find him today."

"Better be cautious, this place is strange."

With Lin Xue, Tang Ming walked along the corridor, seeing each room filled with research equipment, guessing it might be an underground lab, but he hadn’t figured out what specifically they studied. His curiosity was piqued.

"Let’s split up, or it’s hard to find the thief in such a big space."

Reaching the corridor’s fork, Lin Xue boldly proposed.

"You’re brave; aren’t you afraid of danger?"

Tang Ming looked at Lin Xue peculiarly, he was already certain there were no living people here, guessing there might be another exit, the so-called thief had probably fled, aiming to lure Lin Xue and himself here. But what was their motive?

"If I feared danger, why would I be a cop?"

Lin Xue chuckled nonchalantly, eyeing Tang Ming with disdain, "If you’re scared, don’t worry, we’ll find the thief eventually."
