Chapter 24: Poisoned?

  Morton wanted to say something, but didn't manage to. Li You Ran used to come here when he was a kid. Morton looked at this temple and felt more and more strange, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but couldn't remember where.

  Li You Ran rushed out of the temple and headed straight to the abandoned gas factory on the outskirts. There were many factories, but only one was abandoned - a steel mill from the 1960s that went bankrupt in the 1980s due to poor management. The leadership sold off the assets and disappeared without a trace. When the workers couldn't find the leadership, they turned to the government for help. The government came up with a solution: whoever took over the land would be responsible for the steel mill's employees. Initially, several people were interested in taking over the factory, but upon hearing about the added burden, they immediately lost their nerve and backed out.

  The steel factory was abandoned, and now it's a haven for those shady characters. Normal people wouldn't dare to get close, not even a few. Li You Ran took a taxi here, but the driver told him to get out from afar. He didn't even ask for the fare, just cursed his bad luck in his heart. If he had known that Li You Ran was going to come here, he wouldn't have taken him as a passenger. This place is notorious for taxi robberies.

  Li You Ran watched the taxi leave, then looked around and after realizing no one was watching, quickly slipped into the temple. Once inside, he grabbed Morton's hand and dragged him out, Morton didn't struggle as he knew Li You Ran was taking him somewhere.

  After coming out, Mo Dun looked at this unfamiliar world and felt it for a moment. He found that the air here was really polluted and he couldn't bear it. So he said: "Hurry up and save people! After saving people, send me back, the air here is like the dragon cave of the black dragon, it's simply a gathering place for toxic gases, it's too scary, aren't the people here afraid?"

  Morton's exaggerated expression left Li You Ran speechless, he was also a seasoned person and naturally didn't feel anything, but to be honest the air in the other world was really better than here, maybe opening an oxygen bar over there wouldn't be bad either!

  Li You Ran had Morton hide first, as long as he followed himself from a distance, and then clean up those people when they reached the end of the road. He once again instructed him to try not to hurt anyone's life. Morton nodded in agreement, but what he thought in his heart was unknown to anyone.

  Li You Ran slowly walked to the front of the abandoned factory, the rusty gate had fallen halfway, and the other half was gone, it's unknown whether it was sold as scrap or not. Anyway, everything that could be dismantled had been dismantled, probably because there were some underworld figures around here, which is why people dared to come.

  "I'm here! Where are you all? Let He Meili go!" Li You Ran couldn't find anyone, so he could only shout like this. Anyway, he was in the light, and others were in the dark, and he wasn't afraid of being exposed.

  Li You Ran walked into the factory, and at a turning point, a knife was pressed against his waist. A person appeared behind him and said: "Alright, don't shout, go out and check if there's anyone suspicious following you." The first sentence is about Li You Ran, but the second one is about Ma Zai.

  Ma heard and ran out in a hurry, after a while, he ran back and said: "Boss! No suspicious person was found upstairs, let alone people, not even a dog."

  "I reckon this little guy won't dare to play any tricks, blindfold him and take him away." The boss gave the order, naturally it was up to the younger brother to carry it out. With a flurry of hands, Li You Ran's head was wrapped up like a mummy.

  Li You Ran's heart was secretly anxious, what to do now! He himself was going to be taken away, and he didn't know if it was here or not. Mo Dun might not be able to keep up, and if he couldn't, that would be terrible.

  The hoodlums didn't care about Li You Ran's thoughts, and they pushed and crowded him towards the dormitory area of the factory. Originally a dormitory, it had been abandoned later on, but these people from the grey society simply repaired it a bit and turned it into their place for rest and entertainment. They even opened up a gambling den inside, although it wasn't open today.

  There were several people waiting in the room, including Zhou Bopi. He Mei Li was also tied up and sitting on a chair. When she saw Li You Ran being brought in with his eyes covered, her face changed immediately, looking like she was about to cry.

  When Li You Ran finally appeared in front of him, Zhou Bo Pi smiled and walked to Li You Ran's side, tearing off the cloth covering his eyes. With his restored vision, Li You Ran saw clearly who was standing before him, and upon seeing that it was Zhou Bo Pi, he could finally confirm that he had been deceived by that woman.

  "Haha! Kid, keep being arrogant! Was it satisfying to hit me that day?" Zhou Bo Pi said with a slap on Li You Ran's face, Li You Ran's face remained expressionless.

  "That was me who beat you up that day, what's your problem with me? If you want to be moved by He Meili, unless I'm dead, I'll definitely make you die." Li You Ran threatened angrily.

  "Whoa! You're still threatening me? I'm so scared!!! Haha, I'll take action today, what's wrong with that?! Not only will I take action, but I'll also enjoy it. Weren't you talking about some unspoken rules the other day? I'll show you how to play by my own rules! It won't just be me playing, I'll make everyone here join in! You'd better keep your eyes wide open and watch closely! I'll let you know that **Silk is forever Silk**! Offend me, and there will be no good outcome!"

  Zhou Bopi became more and more excited, gesticulating wildly, then picked up a bottle of drink from the table, and took out a packet of medicinal powder, saying to Li You Ran: "Do you know what this is?"

  Li You Ran turned her head away, refusing to look at him, but Zhou Bo Pi didn't mind and continued talking enthusiastically.

  "This is the good stuff! We call it Lie Nu Chun, with this, no matter how virtuous or evil a woman is, she can be taken care of! Today, let you witness its power."

  Zhou Baopi finished speaking and walked towards He Meili with the drink that had already been mixed with medicine. He Meili sensed something was going to happen, her body constantly twisting, but unfortunately it was of no use. Moreover, two little girls appeared beside her and held her down.

  Zhou Baopi tore off the adhesive tape on He Meili's mouth, then pinched her mouth and was about to pour it in. He Meili kept shaking and dodging, but no matter how she dodged, Li You Ran saw this scene and immediately had a cerebral hemorrhage. If he really poured it in, he didn't dare to imagine.

  "Let her go! I'm the one who hit you! You're looking for me too! Whatever you have with her, come at me! Bullying a woman is no achievement." Li You Ran's eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets, his face extremely ferocious.

  "Haha, how can't you bear to part with it?! Since you're so heroic, why don't you drink it?! You drink this whole bottle and nothing will happen, dare you?!" Zhou Ba said with a sly tone like a cat teasing a mouse.

  "Bring it! I'll drink, just spare her! Do whatever you want!" Now Li You Ran could only pray for Morton to come and rescue him as soon as possible. As for not taking lives or whatnot, screw that! Can he still care about this at a time like this?
