Chapter 458 Deep Light
The man's smile didn't change at all. "This isn't the first time I've seen you, Su Ming. Nor will it be the last."
Su Ming felt a deep sense of unease. He knew he was no longer simply a hunted prey, but a key piece in the game. And the man before him was clearly a crucial player in the game.
"I don't believe you." Su Ming responded in a low voice, his eyes full of determination, as if he was using his calmness and rationality to fight against this unknown oppressive force.
However, the man's smile deepened: "You may not believe it, but your choices are limited."
Su Ming's heart was still beating wildly. Though he remained calm on the surface, the tension within him was building like a volcano. He felt the pressure from the man behind him grow stronger, as if ready to devour him at any moment. And the approaching footsteps outside the bathroom reminded him—no matter what choice he made, time was running out.
The situation before him was far more complex than he had anticipated, and this "man in gray" was clearly no ordinary enemy. He knew clearly that this man's identity and purpose were far more than a simple pursuit. This was a long-planned chess game, and he had been dragged into it countless times.
"You don't believe me, Su Ming?" The gray-clothed man didn't seem eager to attack. Instead, he smiled a faint smile, a smile devoid of warmth but filled with a chilling undertone. "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. You don't have much choice." His voice was like a rope, entangling every nerve in Su Ming's body, as if announcing an inevitable fate.
But at that moment, Su Ming's fingertips quietly reached for the phone in his pocket. Without hesitation, he quickly unlocked the screen and opened the address book. With a few swipes, he found Zheng Yaoxian's contact information. At that moment, he knew he couldn't escape this predicament alone. Zheng Yaoxian's presence might be his only chance of survival.
His fingers trembled slightly, but soon regained their composure. He opened the chat box and quickly typed:
"I'm surrounded. Someone's waiting for me in the restroom, and there are enemies approaching outside. I need backup."
There was no time for overthinking. Su Ming knew Zheng Yaoxian's usual efficiency wouldn't leave him helpless in this desperate situation for too long. After sending the message, he didn't wait, but quickly put the phone back into his pocket. His eyes began to scan the surroundings, searching for any possible escape route. At this moment, the restroom was no longer a safe hiding place. The approaching footsteps outside made him feel deeply pressured, especially the oppressive feeling that almost suffocated him.
However, the man in gray showed no impatience, but instead walked towards him with an elusive calmness. Each step was steady and slow, as if racing against time, as if waiting for a moment of explosion.
"Who are you waiting for?" the gray-clothed man stopped and asked coldly. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he could see through everything about Su Ming.
Su Ming didn't answer. He knew that any hesitation would expose his weakness, and all he could rely on was a moment of concealment and a sudden breakthrough. Outside, the enemy's footsteps grew more rapid, as if they were closing in.
A subtle vibration came from his pocket—his phone. He didn't have time to dwell on the message, but the fleeting vibration made his heart tighten. He knew Zheng Yaoxian's response had arrived.
He smiled faintly, a hint of coldness unconsciously appearing on his face, as if filled with a secret anticipation for the coming battle. Although the situation grew increasingly tense, his heart did not collapse under the pressure. Instead, he seemed to have found a certain balance, the intuition accumulated from years of battling danger.
"Who did you send a message to just now?" the man in gray suddenly asked, with a hint of temptation in his voice.
Su Ming didn't answer, merely lifting his head slightly to meet his gaze. His gaze was cold, yet tinged with a hint of challenge. At that moment, he could almost feel his body relaxing slightly, as if entering a state of dance with danger. Every nerve was hyper-sensitive, as if it could detect any potential threat in the shortest possible moment.
However, the man in gray showed no impatience. Instead, a faint sneer curled his lips. "Do you think sending a message can change anything?" His voice was low and almost mocking. "You are simply trapped in a shrinking trap. No amount of support can change anything?"
Su Ming's eyes were cold, but his heart remained unshaken by these words. The gray-clothed man's words were merely the beginning of a psychological war, an attempt to tear down Su Ming's psychological defenses. However, he knew that the real challenge had only just begun.
A burst of rapid footsteps once again broke the silence in the bathroom. Clearly, the enemy had reached the door. Su Ming remained calm. He said in a deep voice, "If you really think you have enough time, why don't you come in?"
The man in gray paused, a flicker of confusion in his eyes, as if he hadn't expected Su Ming to respond in that way. Su Ming bent down slightly and grabbed a plumbing tool from under the sink. He reacted quickly, poised to explode at any moment.
At that moment, his phone vibrated slightly again. Su Ming quickly pulled it out, his heart tightening as he saw Zheng Yaoxian's reply—brief and direct, with overwhelming decisiveness.
"Don't move, wait for me."
"Don't move?" Su Ming scoffed softly, a hint of a sneer curling his lips. Zheng Yaoxian's reply was like a reassurance, but also like an order, telling him to wait quietly. However, in such a tense situation, even the calmest person would find it difficult to remain still.
He looked up at the man in gray, a deep light flashing in his eyes, "Do you really think you have that much time?" He asked in a low voice, with a threat in his tone that could not be ignored.
The man in gray seemed to have sensed something, his gaze suddenly focused, and the next moment, he lunged forward, trying to subdue Su Ming in one fell swoop.
But the moment he approached, Su Ming had already reacted. He quickly retreated and kicked the bathroom door, causing a violent crash. The other group of enemies at the door finally began to exert their strength. Su Ming's heartbeat accelerated, knowing that after taking this step, there was almost no way out.
