Chapter 193: Howling at the Moon
To be honest, Lu Chen did not expect to meet Su Mo so quickly and smoothly. He had thought that Su Mo, being the only suspect currently detained, would be kept in a secret place under strict surveillance.
To his surprise, He Yi had casually placed both of them together in the same confinement.
This move was unusual, or rather, it was completely abnormal. Given that Su Mo’s status as a potential Demon Cult spy was still unconfirmed, it was dangerous to place him with others.
Moreover, the recent incident where Su Qingjun caused a commotion at the Su family residence, and the injuries Lu Chen sustained from Su Mo and others, were not difficult to learn. Lu Chen did not believe that He Yi, who was so calculating, was unaware of these details.
At present, putting him and Su Mo together seemed to carry a deeper meaning.
Lu Chen quickly ran these thoughts through his mind, but his expression remained unchanged. He looked at the man huddled in the corner of the dark room, who was faintly recognizable as the once arrogant Su Mo.
Lu Chen greeted Su Mo, but Su Mo did not respond. He continued to mutter the same two words repeatedly, seemingly lost in his own world.
Lu Chen frowned and crouched in front of Su Mo. At this closer distance, he could see that Su Mo was curled up, burying his head in his knees and hugging his head with his hands, looking extremely frightened.
“Help me… help me… sister, help me…” Su Mo kept whispering intermittently, his voice trembling, showing no reaction to Lu Chen, who was so near.
