As everyone was laughing heartily, the sound of crisp high heels echoed from the end of the corridor, and a figure with fiery red hair slowly walked in.

Seeing Luo, the originally cheerful atmosphere was diluted, and everyone looked at her with hostile gazes.

Luo nodded slightly to the Prison Director, who nodded in return and ushered the guards out.

Soon, Luo was left alone in the corridor facing the multitude of prisoners.

"How have you all been these past few days in prison? Although this is already the best prison in New Moon City, compared to your respective luxurious accommodations, it might still be lacking quite a bit."

Luo walked along the corridor as if taking a leisurely stroll, smiling as her gaze swept over the cold expressions of the prisoners, unbothered by the hostility and animosity.

When her gaze landed on Su Mo, she deliberately let out a playful sound, shrugged her shoulders with eyes like a shy deer avoiding gaze, her voice lowering, "Isn’t this Mr. Indecency? Thinking of what happened tonight is really embarrassing..."

With these words, the serious atmosphere immediately vanished, and everyone could scarcely hold back, bursting into laughter.

Su Mo glared at Luo and said, "Get lost, kill me if you wish, flay me if you must, I have a family, my kids are three or four years old, don’t come here sullying my reputation."

Luo covered her mouth and chuckled, no longer teasing Su Mo, her tone became serious: "Alright, no more jokes. With no outsiders here, I can speak frankly."

Shangguan Li said coldly, "First of all, who is ’not an outsider’ to you? Are we that familiar?"

Luo smiled and replied, "People, at first, are strangers, but over time they become acquainted. In the coming period, I have many things to handle, I ask everyone to bear with temporarily staying here."

"This place is actually quite nice, quiet, peaceful, isolated from the world, and most importantly—"

Her smile turned mysterious, "You’ve all fallen from your positions, no matter what happens outside, it has nothing to do with you."

Luo’s words were smooth and evasive, running through the room like empty talk, everyone had no fondness for her, and her words went in one ear and out the other without much thought.

Only Su Mo, who knew Luo well, was slightly taken aback, giving her a meaningful look as if pondering something.

As Su Mo was deep in thought, he suddenly heard the sound of a lock opening, and his cell door was opened.

Luo retrieved the key and opened the door for Su Mo: "Director Su, let’s have a chat."

Everyone looked at Luo and Su Mo in confusion, not knowing what scene this was about to be.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy initially, until someone quipped, "Director Su, uphold integrity in masculinity, don’t harass the special agent again."

Suddenly, laughter erupted all around.

"A bunch of people behaving improperly..." Su Mo shook his head helplessly and followed Luo to a closed isolation room.

After entering, Luo turned to look at Su Mo, initially stunned: "Why are you standing so far away?"

Only to see Su Mo standing in the corner, arms crossed, eyebrows raised as he looked at her, replying word by word: "What do you think?"

Luo couldn’t help but smile: "It’s just one scheme, why are you acting like a resentful wife? Let’s hurry and talk business, about the Wolf King."

Su Mo: "What’s up with the Wolf King?"

Luo: "Where did you hide her?"

Luo, like a deadly swordsman, unexpectedly unleashed a fatal blow, her golden eyes staring directly into Su Mo’s, trying to capture any subtle emotional change.

Moreover, the question was very leading; if you instinctively answered, "I didn’t hide her," it would tacitly imply an admission of involvement in the hiding.

Faced with Luo’s question, Su Mo responded with a confused expression: "Hide? Why are you so sure the Wolf King was hidden?"

"You should have read the on-site report, right? An optically camouflaged transport ship picked her up; she might no longer be in New Moon City."

Luo did not capture any hint from Su Mo’s expression, and his answer was flawless, so she continued: "The Wolf King was severely injured when breaching the Heaven-Reaching Tower. Even if she’s rescued, she definitely needs professional medical equipment to sustain life, she can’t go far."

"Moreover, the airspace was meticulously searched by the aviation assault unit after receiving the message, without finding any suspicious traces, so the Wolf King must still be in New Moon City."

"And my purpose for coming this time is to find her."

If others were to inquire, Su Mo would never admit that Fenrir was with him.

However, as mentioned before, Luo isn’t what she appears to be on the surface, Su Mo knows her well.

Now the whole city is searching for Fenrir, keeping her hidden in the Edge Mansion is not a solution, they must find a way to move her to a safe place.

Shangtang sending Luo this time is an opportunity for Su Mo because, in terms of position, Luo and Fenrir are on the same side; Luo is very likely to help her.

If Luo returns without success and is replaced by another special agent, the situation will only become more complicated.

Certainly, before taking trust measures with Luo, Su Mo must first ascertain her true intentions.

For this reason, Su Mo deliberately showed a flaw in his words: "Even if we find Fenrir, what do you plan to do with her?"

As a personnel with a history of handling countless cases, this flaw was too obvious, leaving almost no doubt about saying, "I know where Fenrir is."

Luo looked at Su Mo with great interest, finding Su Mo looking back at her with the same gaze, both like hunters hidden in darkness, aiming guns at each other, yet hesitating to pull the trigger.
