Blades of Secrets: The Endless Night

CHAPTER 45

"Turn left at the next road."

Cheng Xing sat in the car with Li Ming as police followed them. Cheng Xing watched the roads waiting for the area.

"Here!"

Li Ming's car halted to a stop. The rest of the police cars pulled to a stop as Li Ming hopped out the car and pulled out his gun, holding it by his side. The police came out of their cars and aimed their guns at the cliffside wall. Cheng Xing walks up and opens the door to a dark, cool room. He took a step in, and the first batch of policeman followed. The place was silent. Cheng Xing looks around, no one there. Laptops were turned off, weapons and important things missing.

Li Ming walks up to Cheng Xing. "Where are they?"

Cheng Xing turns to the policeman surprised. "They're not here. They've taken all the important things too. It's like they... left."

Li Ming looks at Cheng Xing. "Where's Fen Yuhang?"

Cheng Xing goes to his phone and calls Fen Yuhang's number. It goes straight to voicemail.

"Fen Yuhang's not picking up, somethings wrong."

The police cautiously step through the empty area, weaving in-between tables and chairs.

A figure swooped by the police, who immediately pointed their weapons at the mysterious figure. The figure slowly appears and raises their hands.

"I'm not here to harm anyone," came a low, female voice.

Huh, Cheng Xing thought. He thought that the figure was Ping Heng.

"I'm here to give a message."

The person throws down what seemed like a small USB. It clattered as it hit the floor. By the time the police looked back up at the figure, she was gone.

Everyone gathered around and plugged it into a computer. It loaded before playing videos. But not any videos. There were videos of Cheng Xing, talking to Fen Yuhang, photos of his daggers and his assassins outfit laid out on his bed. Big text filled the screen, 'Cheng Xing is one of us!'. Everyone turned to Cheng Xing.

Cheng Xing's heart starts racing. They slowly move away from Cheng Xing. His heart pangs with sadness. He didn't know what to do. Everything was escalating all too fast. The only one that didn't move was Li Ming.

Cheng Xing watched as they slowly reached for guns and handcuffs in their pockets. Cheng Xing looks at Wen Zhang and then at Li Ming.

A policeman walks towards him with handcuffs. "You will remain silent."

Cheng Xing gives a 'sorry' face towards Li Ming and grabs his hand and twists it.

Cheng Xing runs and dodges as tasers are aimed at him. Cheng Xing ran upstairs and hides around a corner. His breathing became panting, his heart beating fast. He had the upper hand; he knew the layout of the academy. They didn't.

A police officer turned the corner, and he quickly punched him knocking him out and dragging him into a room. Cheng Xing carefully looked around the corner, sprinting towards the window.

Li Ming stood across from him in the corridor, gun in hand. Li Ming gave him a quick gesture to leave. Cheng Xing opens the window and flees without a second thought.

Li Ming swung the door open to see Cheng Xing sitting on the bed.

"You can only stay here for a bit. You can eat food from the fridge or pantry, if you want anything just let me know, I'll buy it for you. Don't go out, the prefect needs me there to answer some questions."

Cheng Xing nods. Li Ming Left Cheng Xing in the room. Cheng Xing heard the door shut and nothing after that. The room was silent.
