Chapter 1257: Done For…

The car did not pull over directly at the main gate of the factory, but discreetly at a side gate.

She had inspected every one of the Mo Family’s factories with Nian Xiaomu and remembered this place.

The first time she had come here, she had even taken note of every little detail in order to protect Nian Xiaomu.

After finding a few hiding spots and escape routes, she had told Nian Xiaomu of them.

She also reminded Nian Xiaomu that if she were to face danger inside the factory, she should run to the places she mentioned to her and wait for her to come to rescue her…

Tan Bengbeng did not completely believe that text message, but since it concerned Nian Xiaomu’s safety, she had to make a trip here in order for her to have a peace of mind.

If that text message was really sent by Nian Xiaomu, she should be able to remember her previous words.

With her swift and agile skills, Tan Bengbeng easily climbed over the wall and entered the factory.

After passing through multiple rows of production rooms, she crept further inside.

By this time, the sky was getting dark and the rooms inside the factory had all been locked up.

Only after entering the factory did Tan Bengbeng realize that all production had stopped here and the doors of a few production rooms had even accumulated cobwebs.

She abruptly stopped in her tracks, a vigilant look sweeping past her eyes.

Her eyes started to flicker with suspicion.

For a factory that had already stopped production, what was there for Nian Xiaomu to inspect so late at night?

Moreover, she was already quite far inside the factory and was about to reach the first safe hiding place that she had once mentioned to Nian Xiaomu. Yet, there was still no sign of movement inside the factory.

Her instincts as a secret guard made her stop in her tracks instantly.

She flattened her whole body to the wall and hid in the darkness, not advancing forward.

She found a spot that had a view of the safe hiding location and stayed there.

Within a few minutes, she could hear someone cursing in a low voice.

“Why isn’t anyone here? Didn’t you say that Tan Bengbeng was a secret guard and would know that this is the safest spot in the whole factory and that she would definitely come here first? Where is she?”

Upon hearing these words, Tan Bengbeng’s nerves turned cold.

It was a trap after all.

From the moment she entered the factory, she had thought that something was amiss.

“Don’t talk. Someone saw an unfamiliar car parked outside. She should already be here!” Another sinister voice of a male sounded in the darkness.

Tan Bengbeng’s eyes narrowed and following the source of the voice, her gaze landed on a hiding spot very close to her.

As she could tell that more than two people were hiding there, she decided to retreat slowly.

If the other side’s target was her, then she could be sure that Nian Xiaomu was fine.

However, her car had already been discovered, so it was impossible to go back the way she had come.

Furthermore, there seemed to be a secret guard amongst the men from the other side, so they would probably know how she did things.

She had to change to another route in order to leave this place safely.

Knowing that Nian Xiaomu was probably fine, Tan Bengbeng’s sense of rationale gradually came back to her.

She softened her footsteps and retreated.

Using another route, she slowly backed away to somewhere near the main gate.

Secret guards usually liked to move around in the dark, and rarely strutted around so boldly. Since the other party was here for her, then she should take this chance to do otherwise.

She would leave openly and boldly from near the main gate…

Tan Bengbeng was about to climb up the wall when she heard footsteps approaching from a distance away.

Someone was checking the spot near her, and if she climbed over the wall now, she would be discovered immediately.

Tan Bengbeng held her breath and found an inconspicuous corner. She squatted down and immediately blended into the darkness.

The footsteps approaching seemed to have reached her and was about to go past.

With her hand on the wall for support, Tan Bengbeng was about to stand up when she suddenly felt a nauseous sensation from her chest and could not help but cover her mouth as she started to retch.
