After returning to their hiding place, the atmosphere among the group remained heavy.
"We have a new ally now, but the mysterious man won't just let this go," Lin Yi said with concern.
Lin Yuxin tightly hugged the kitten, as if seeking comfort from it. "We need to come up with a more solid plan quickly; we can't keep living in fear like this."
Their friend furrowed his brow in thought. "I'm wondering why the mysterious man is so fixated on that document. Perhaps we can figure out his motives and find the key to resolving this crisis."
Xiao Chen nodded in agreement. "That makes sense, but how can we discover his motives?"
Suddenly, Lin Yuhan spoke up, "We could try investigating the mysterious man's background to see if we can find any clues."
Everyone agreed that this was a good idea and began discussing how to investigate the mysterious man. Their friend said, "I can use my connections to gather some information about him. But it might take some time."
"Time is of the essence; we can't just wait passively," Lin Yi said. "We could also look into the content of that document; perhaps we can infer the mysterious man's intentions from it."
Lin Yuxin hesitated for a moment before saying, "But we still don't know what exactly is written in the document. And right now, it's hidden in that garbage bin, which makes it inconvenient to retrieve."
Just as they were discussing this, their friend's phone suddenly rang. The group tensed up immediately as their friend cautiously took out the phone and glanced at the caller ID, his expression turning strange.
"It's my colleague," he said.
Everyone watched anxiously, unsure of what news this call would bring. Their friend answered the call and put it on speaker so everyone could hear.
"Hello, what's up?" he asked.
His colleague's voice was urgent. "I just discovered some important leads about the mysterious man, but I can't say much right now. You all need to find a safe place quickly; I'll come to you."
Their friend quickly replied, "Okay, we'll find a safe spot as soon as possible. You must be careful."
After hanging up, the group's anxiety heightened. They knew this lead could be crucial in resolving their crisis but also posed greater danger.
"Where can we find a safe place now?" Lin Yuhan asked.
Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said, "I remember there's an abandoned factory nearby; it's quite secluded and should be safe."
Everyone agreed unanimously and swiftly left their hiding place, heading toward the abandoned factory. They carefully avoided areas where they might encounter the mysterious man's subordinates and finally arrived at the factory.
The factory appeared to have been deserted for a long time, covered in dust and clutter. They found a relatively concealed room and waited for their friend's colleague to arrive.
Time ticked by slowly, filling them with unease. Finally, they heard footsteps approaching. The group tensed up as they stared at the door, uncertain if it was indeed their friend's colleague.
The door slowly opened, revealing a figure stepping inside—it was indeed their friend's colleague.
"Are you all okay?" he asked with concern.
My friend breathed a sigh of relief, "We are fine. What is the clue you mentioned?" My colleague's face became serious, "I found that the mysterious man seemed to be carrying out a dangerous plan, and that document may be the key to stopping him. I am still investigating the specific situation, but we must act as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." After hearing this, everyone became more determined to protect the document. They knew that the crisis had reached a critical moment, and they had to go all out to defeat the mysterious man and protect the important document. Everyone sat together, and the atmosphere was solemn. "So what should we do now?" Lin Yuxin asked anxiously. After thinking for a moment, my friend's colleague said, "We don't know the mysterious man's plan clearly enough, so we can't act rashly. I suggest that we split into two groups, one to continue investigating the mysterious man's background and plan, and the other to find a way to ensure the safety of the files." Xiao Chen nodded, "This is a good idea, but how to divide them?" After some discussion, they decided that one group of friends and colleagues would continue to investigate the mysterious man, while Lin Yi, Lin Yuxin, Lin Yuhan and Xiao Chen would be responsible for protecting the files. Before my friend and colleagues left, my friend said to everyone seriously, "Be careful, and contact us at any time if there is any situation." After watching my friend and colleagues leave, the four of them began to discuss how to protect the files. "We can't keep the files hidden in that Garbage bin, it's too unsafe." Lin Yi said. Lin Yuhan frowned and said, "But we don't have a better place to hide the documents." Xiao Chen thought for a while and said, "I remember there is an abandoned basement nearby, maybe we can hide the documents there." Everyone thought this idea was feasible, so they decided to go to the basement to have a look. They walked out of the abandoned factory carefully and headed towards the basement. Along the way, they kept alert at all times, fearing that they would be discovered by the mysterious man's men. Finally, they found the basement. The basement was dark and damp, and exuded an unpleasant smell. "Can documents really be hidden here?" Lin Yuxin said with some doubt. Xiao Chen said, "Although the conditions here are not good, it is very hidden and not easy to be discovered. We hide the documents here, and then set some traps around, just in case." Everyone started to set up the traps, and after a long time of work, they finally finished. They wrapped the documents in plastic bags and hid them in a corner of the basement. Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard footsteps. "Oh no, someone is coming." Lin Yi whispered. They quickly hid in the shadows and watched the entrance nervously. They saw several dark figures coming in, shining flashlights in their hands. "They must be the mysterious man's men." Lin Yuhan said nervously. Xiao Chen clenched his fists, "We can't let them find the documents."
They wandered around the basement, seemingly unable to find any trace of the documents. However, they did not leave; instead, they continued searching the area.
"What do we do now? If they keep looking here, they'll eventually find the documents," Lin Yuxin said anxiously.
Just as they were at a loss, a small cat suddenly jumped out of Lin Yuxin's arms and ran toward the group of people.
"Kitty!" Lin Yuxin exclaimed in surprise.
The cat danced in front of them for a moment before darting away. The people were drawn to the little creature and chased after it.
"Great! The cat saved us," Lin Yuhan said excitedly.
Seizing the opportunity, they quickly left the basement and returned to the abandoned factory. They knew that although they had temporarily escaped danger, this crisis was far from over. They needed to find a way to completely eliminate the threat posed by the mysterious man and protect that important document.
