3Not too long after, Meng Fan arrived at the location provided by that person. When he saw the surrounding buildings, his expression became somewhat abnormal.
It turned out that although Meng Fan wasn't familiar with the surroundings, he had seen it a few times. This was where he had met up with old man Hu.
At first, Meng Fan didn't pay much attention to this. Before coming here, he had mostly led the way by shadow, and he didn't pay much attention to the specific name of this place.
Now that he was back here, Meng Fan's shock was like waves in a stormy ocean. He had never thought that after taking away Liu Xia's group, they would actually invite him to meet them here.
Of course, it wasn't as if Meng Fan hadn't suspected that the mastermind who had taken him away was old man Hu, who had just committed a sin not too long ago. However, he quickly dispelled that idea.
After all, it wasn't like Meng Fan hadn't seen old man Hu's subordinates before. Most of them were just special forces. If they could take Liu Xia away from the Sage Pavilion by themselves, Meng Fan definitely wouldn't believe it.
After all, Meng Fan didn't have a good impression of this place. Now that the old man had invited him here, even though Meng Fan believed that old man Hu wouldn't dare to act against him so rashly, he couldn't help but be on guard.
After staying in the car for a long time, Meng Fan took a deep breath and parked the car by the side of the road. He confirmed the address on the text message and walked toward the building.
This building was the dark secret base. However, the address that the person had given Meng Fan was not old man Hu's underground base, but rather the normal office area in the building.
"You must be Meng Fan, right?" Meng Fan arrived at the eleventh floor of the building. Just as he stepped out of the elevator, a young man around the age of twenty walked up to greet him. The moment he opened his mouth, he called out Meng Fan's name.
"I am!" Meng Fan was not used to being recognized by this person. In his previous career, Meng Fan's appearance might not have been considered a secret, but he didn't want others to be able to recognize him so easily.
After all, whether it was a killer or a mercenary, they couldn't wait to be recognized as a transparent person while they were out on a mission. If someone recognized them at this moment, then they wouldn't have to go on a mission and would just have to wipe their own neck at home.
"Follow me!" The team leader is already waiting for you! " Seeing Meng Fan admitting his identity, the young man's face slightly changed. He sized Meng Fan up and down for a moment, as if he was confirming Meng Fan's identity. Then, he turned around and walked inside.
Meng Fan didn't say anything else as he followed the young man through the corridor near the elevator and into the eleventh floor.
Meng Fan didn't feel anything when he entered. However, when he did, he was completely shocked.
The layout and furnishings of this floor were actually more or less the same as his Soaring Dragon Company's. There were even a few white-collar workers walking around this floor occasionally holding documents, as if they were busy with something.
After seeing all this, Meng Fan had already thought of the fact that this was the company's property, but he had never expected that there was actually someone working here. From the looks of it, there was not the slightest bit of pretence.
Meng Fan followed the young man to an office. The young man on the way didn't say a word, just like a robot. It wasn't until they arrived at the door that he lightly knocked on the door, inviting Meng Fan in.
As he entered the office, what he saw caused Meng Fan to be greatly shocked. Looking at the people sitting in the office, his expression suddenly became unsightly. Even the young man who had brought him in seemed to not have noticed.
"Meng Fan!" It looks like we meet again. You have caused me quite a bit of harm last time! " As Meng Fan stood there in a daze, one of the people sitting in the office said with a bright smile on his face.
When Meng Fan saw his opponent's face, his heart began to pound violently. It was only because he had seen him that he had been so shocked.
Meng Fan had thought of old man Hu the moment he had noticed how familiar this building was. However, he hadn't thought that he would be sitting in the same office. His smiling face made him look like a cunning old fox.
Meng Fan had thoroughly offended this old man Hu. Now that he saw him here, Meng Fan couldn't help but begin to wonder if he had done anything to Liu Xia. Even if the old man hadn't done it, Meng Fan would still have taken part in it.
At the same time, Meng Fan also understood why there was nothing abnormal with the people who were monitoring him when he received the bag. It wasn't that the person who delivered the package was that strong, but rather they were in the same group.
Now that he thought about it, Meng Fan's heart was filled with confidence. If this matter involved the old man named Hu, then the power backing them must be part of some government, not some powerful force that would do anything to him.
Generally speaking, they would not go overboard. Even when facing someone like Meng Fan who had just returned, they would not use overly forceful methods, unless the State intended to get rid of him.
With this thought, Meng Fan's expression loosened. The serious expression that had flashed across his face somewhat lessened, and he began to size up the other people in the office. He turned a deaf ear to old man Hu's words.
In the room, besides Meng Fan and old man Hu, there were two other people sitting inside. One of them looked to be in his forties, and he had a clean head of short hair. Judging by his posture and demeanor, he had a military bearing, similar to the Zhou Zheng that Meng Fan had seen before.
This old man seemed to be even older than old man Hu. From the moment Meng Fan entered the room, he had been staring at Meng Fan with an expression full of interest, as if he was very interested in Meng Fan.
"You guys didn't come to find me just to see me, right?" After a long moment passed, Meng Fan couldn't hold back from asking, seeing that no one was talking.
He was still thinking of bringing Liu Xia back as soon as possible. Since the other party had asked to meet him here, the two of them had come to negotiate. Now that the other party had not spoken and was constantly sizing him up, no matter how calm Meng Fan could be, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
After all, Meng Fan had his own goals and goals. Since Liu Xia was currently under their control, how could he have the heart to delay him any further? This matter was related to Liu Xia's safety.
"Of course not! This is Elder Lu from the security team! He was the one looking for you! I am just a companion! " After hearing Meng Fan's words, old man Hu laughed and took the lead.
Hearing old man Hu's words, Meng Fan's face slightly changed. He subconsciously looked in the direction the old man was pointing and saw that the person he was pointing at was the white-haired old man. His face couldn't help but change. Meng Fan wasn't surprised at the old man's appearance, but at his identity.
"Security?" Meng Fan muttered to himself. The worry between his brows was revealed without a doubt. He thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what exactly the security team was.
For the official forces in the country, the only one who was well-known to outsiders was the old man Hu's secret organization. This was also one of the top intelligence organizations in the country.
However, Meng Fan had no impression of this so-called security group that old man Hu had mentioned. He hadn't even heard of it before, so he naturally wasn't too sure about the origins of this old man Lu.
"Hello! You are Meng Fan, the one who the foreign powers call a wandering soul? " Old man Lu didn't seem to be very familiar with Meng Fan. After hearing old man Hu's words, he looked Meng Fan up and down and asked, as if he still had some suspicions regarding Meng Fan's identity.
"Liu Xia was taken away by you?" Meng Fan didn't respond to the old man's words. Instead, he answered the question that was on his mind. This was the reason why he had come here, and also the matter he was most worried about.
If it weren't for the matter of Liu Xia, Meng Fan wouldn't have even bothered to come into contact with these people. With his cooperation with old man Hu, Meng Fan really didn't have a good impression of these people.
"You can say yes or you can say no. If you cooperate, I can guarantee Liu Xia's safety. Otherwise …" "Hur hur, you should understand that right?" However, after hearing Meng Fan's words, Old Man Lu strangely let out a sneer. On his already wrinkled face, ravines were formed, making his smile sound vulgar.
"What do you want? Can I understand that you're threatening me? If my guess is not wrong, you should be a government agency of some country, and I can understand you threatening a civilian like this as bullying others right? "
Hearing the old man's words, Meng Fan's face slightly darkened. He looked at the old man in anger and questioned him with an unfriendly face.
"Hehe!" Your thoughts can still be considered as a way to live, but I've relied on my power to bully others, so what can you do about it? " After Meng Fan's words, the middle-aged man who seemed to be in his forties spoke first without waiting for Old Man Lu to speak. His tone was extremely domineering, as if he was a bandit who ruled over a mountain.
"Alright!" Let's get down to business! " Following the middle-aged man's words, Old Man Lu seemed to notice that something was wrong with Meng Fan's face. He immediately raised his hand to stop the conversation, and continued in a clear voice, "Meng Fan!" The reason we came to find you today, is to have you join us, join the security group, and do you no harm at all. At the same time, I can also give you a public identity. "
Old man Lu paused for a moment after he finished speaking. He glanced at the wooden box Meng Fan was carrying and continued thoughtfully, "But before that happens, I hope you can hand over Cheng Ying!"
"Is this your condition?" Do you think I have the right to choose? If I don't agree, how do you want to deal with me? " Hearing Old Man Lu's words, Meng Fan completely understood the other party's intentions. Laughing softly, he stared at Old Man Lu and asked in a low voice.
"Against you?" Old man Lu chuckled lightly as he faced Meng Fan. His amiable and amiable demeanor was now completely different from before. He seemed to be considering what he would do to Meng Fan if Meng Fan didn't agree to his conditions.
In his opinion, there was no reason for Meng Fan to not agree to his terms. After all, Meng Fan would not be harmed in the slightest. Furthermore, Meng Fan would be given an open identity.
However, following Meng Fan's words, old man Lu's face couldn't help but change. He turned to look at the old man named Hu and the middle-aged man beside him and asked with a smile, "If he doesn't agree, what do you plan to do?"
