Chapter 133: Long'er Wakes Up

  Hu Yidao smiled: "Don't worry, the wound was treated in time, your friend is not in great danger. On the other hand, when you fainted, it caused a lot of concern. The wound on your shoulder has been poisoned with paralyzing venom extracted from the venom gland of a poisonous snake. If it hadn't been discovered early, I'm afraid the toxin would have reached the heart."

  Lorin was slightly stunned by the words, recalling how he had suddenly fainted to the ground without any preparation at that time, and deeply understood how powerful this toxin was. He raised his hand and gently stroked the wound on his shoulder wrapped in gauze: "Dage, I don't have any problems now, do I?"

  "It's gone. Don't worry."

  "Uh, I think I'll go take a look at that friend of mine."

  "Alright." Hu Yidao stepped forward to help Lorraine down from the bed, but was refused by Lorraine with a smile: "No need, Brother Knife, I'll do it myself." With that, she got out of bed, put on her shoes, and although her strength had not fully recovered, at least she no longer looked weak.

  Hu Yidao nodded and waved his hand, instructing a man with an ordinary appearance but a relatively robust build to come in. Lorin took one look at the man and burst out laughing - who else could it be but that taxi driver?

  Lorraine walked up and joked: "Driver, didn't go driving today?"

  The man smiled wryly in the face of Lorrin's teasing: "Sorry, kid. I was just following orders before. No malice towards you."

  Lorraine smiled and waved her hand: "No need to apologize. My name is Lorraine." As she said that, she stretched out one hand and shook hands with the man who had once disguised himself as a taxi driver and followed her.

  "Nice to meet you, I'm Lu Chuan." The man saw that Luo Lin was not a petty person and now looked at his demeanor which was very generous. He didn't treat him like a little friend, but instead respectfully said, "Mr. Luo, please follow me, your friend is resting in the next room."

  Lorraine turned back to look at Hu Yidao, who made a please gesture, then Lorraine followed Ru Chuan into the next room. The door opened and Lorraine saw Long'er lying on the bed, still in a daze. Her face was still pale, but her breathing seemed stronger than before. An IV bottle hung beside the bed, and she was receiving fluids while sleeping.

  "Mr. Luo, the young lady's injuries have improved, but she needs rest, so try not to make too much noise." Lu Chuan said as he was about to close the door and leave.

  Lorraine nodded.

  "Ah-ha."

  The door closed gently, and Lorrin took a deep breath before slowly walking to Long'er's bedside. He pulled over a chair and sat down, reaching out to touch Long'er's forehead. His body temperature felt normal, and the pale but lovely face had a hint of rosiness, indicating that his complexion was gradually recovering. Seeing this, Lorrin felt at ease.

  At this time, Lorraine's thoughts gradually settled down.

  Although Hu Yidao should be the person that Han Zhennan trusts, Luolin cannot stay here for long. Moreover, with Long'er's special identity, it would be easy for Hu Yidao to investigate and find out the truth if he wants to. Therefore, Luolin knows it is better to leave as soon as possible.

  Lorin's eyes narrowed slightly as he discovered that the clothes on his body and Long'er's body had no signs of being touched, not even a drop of blood. It was likely that Hu Yidao did this to avoid suspicion, so he didn't order anyone to change their clothes. After feeling around inside his clothes, Lorin quickly found a small, palm-sized package. His breath caught as he remembered that he still had the black package from the python's body, which seemed to contain a jade slip and a piece of cowhide paper.

  At this thought, Lorraine subconsciously reached in to check, but suddenly a notion flashed through her mind: Not good!

  This is Hu Yidao's territory, and judging from his identity, he should be no ordinary person. Who knows if there are any surveillance cameras or listening devices installed in this bedroom? Previously, Hu Yidao did not take the opportunity to search himself while he was unconscious, perhaps out of respect, but more importantly, he may not have known what was on his body. However, if I were to carelessly pull out the black package from my clothes without first figuring out where the cameras might be, and Hu Yidao is a big shot, then he must be someone who wouldn't let this matter go unnoticed, and would definitely pay extra attention to this package.

  There's another very important point, that is, when Hu Yidao's subordinates rescued him and Long Er, they must have seen the corpses on the ground and the intense signs of battle. After he woke up, not only did they not ask him anything, but their faces were as usual, as if it was a trivial matter for him to be involved in such a life-and-death case. This is enough to show that Hu Yidao must also be a powerful figure who holds the power of life and death over many people! Having seen too much life and death, he has become indifferent to it.

  So this black package can't be exposed even more.

  It's possible that with Hu Yi Dao's status and connections, he already knew about the high-level mission of the Tianyan organization in Baiyang City. Moreover, Luo Lin is not clear now, why Long Er and the deceased mountain cat and python were fighting each other, if it was because of the black package hidden on Luo Lin's body, then Luo Lin would hand over the contents of the black package to Long Er without hesitation.

  What is not yours, you cannot take, otherwise it will bring disaster upon yourself.

  Lorin understood this principle very well.

  But if Long'er's mission this time has nothing to do with the jade slip that fell from the python's body and the cowhide paper, Luolin would certainly be happy to take it for himself.

  But last night, Loring was the first to kill someone with his own hands. The feeling now, thinking back, would leave some shadows in his heart. Loring's psychological quality is strong, but everything has a first time. The discomfort in his heart wasn't that he feared killing people, but rather an introspection of the fragility of life. Even powerful beings like pythons and mountain cats could be blown to bloody pulp in an instant, their lives extinguished.

  There are too many things in this world that change suddenly and unpredictably; one decision can often alter the course of one's future destiny.

  Lorin decided to secretly follow last night, so that he could help Long'er at the critical moment. Originally, his mission was completed and he should have left, but because of the python's desperate struggle before its death, Lorin returned to the battlefield, ending its life, and coincidentally obtained the mysterious ancient jade slip and a seemingly precious letter written on cowhide paper. As Lorin thought, the road is walked out, if not, it will never be known where the turning point is, and what kind of scenery awaits ahead.

  And will this ancient jade slip and that cowhide paper be the turning point or a beautiful scenery in Lorraine's heart?

  He couldn't help but know.

  He just knew that after Long Er woke up, they should leave here as soon as possible and have a good talk. This was the most urgent thing to do.

  Just as Loring was about to get up and walk towards the balcony for a smoke, Long'er, who was lying in bed, let out a soft moan, her voice still somewhat weak. Loring immediately leaned forward, asking tentatively: "Long'er?..."

  Last night, although Long'er fainted, she clearly saw Lorrain's appearance before she fainted. Lorrain knew he couldn't get away from this matter anymore. At least, Long'er knew what she had seen, so he had to face her.

  "Lo, Lolin..." Long'er's breath was slightly weak, and a pair of dazed eyes slowly opened. When she saw that it was Lolin lying beside her, a thread of surprise surged up from the depths of her heart. She clearly remembered that last night was not an illusion, and this was not a dream. That mysterious little guy, Lolin, had saved her.

  It's just... where is this?

  The killer's personality is quite suspicious, and Long'er, even if she doesn't suspect Luolin, still has to be suspicious of her current situation. She raised her eyelids and looked around, finding that the decoration here didn't look like a hotel, but rather someone's home. Luolin knew his own identity, which was a nailed-on certainty, but if others also found out about his identity, it would be extremely inappropriate.

  "......where is this?" Long'er felt her body recovering as she tried to sit up. Her current injuries were no longer serious, only hurting her vitality, and she needed to rest for a while. So as long as she woke up from her daze, even walking back and forth was fine.

  "This is Mr. Hu, Hu Yidao's home. I also fainted last night, and it was he who sent someone to rescue me. Oh, I'll introduce you in a moment, because I just met Mr. Hu today too." As Lorraine spoke, her facial expression didn't change much, but the look in her eyes as she gazed at Long'er flickered with some subtle hints.

  Luo Lin deliberately emphasized that he also met this Mr. Hu today, which means that when he woke up, his first state was also as confused as Long Er's. Similarly, it reveals a message that this Mr. Hu is not someone Luo Lin trusts too much for the time being, at least not very well understood.

  Long'er was a clever person and at this moment he easily heard the subtlety in Luolin's words.

  First, in a stranger's home, she had to be on guard against surveillance and eavesdropping devices, so she knew that there were many things that couldn't be said. Looking at Lorraine's current state of mind, it seemed like she was waiting for herself to wake up and leave at any moment. Another very important point is that as a member of the Tiān Yǎn organization, she had a thorough grasp of much intelligence. Before coming to Balmyang City, she would naturally have investigated and understood some of the big figures in Balmyang City. And this Mr. Hu Yidao was a hidden giant living in Balmyang City!

  So she nodded in tacit agreement, not saying any more unnecessary words, and slightly pursed her lips: "Alright, I'll go thank Mr. Hu personally, and then we can leave?"
