Chapter 132: Hu Yidao

  "What thing?"

  As he thought, he reached out to take a look, opening the small black package, and from inside fell out an ancient jade slip as big as his palm and a piece of cowhide paper with written words. When the ancient jade slip fell into his hands, Lorrin felt a warm and soft texture, and a thought flashed through his mind: this was definitely not an ordinary object. Looking at the obscure and difficult-to-understand seal script characters on the ancient jade slip only further solidified Lorrin's speculation. Unfolding the cowhide paper to take another look, it had some modern words recording sentences similar to classical Chinese, with obscure phrases that were hard to understand, and even many rare and unusual characters.

  Out of nowhere, a sudden thought emerged in Lorraine's mind - she wanted to take him into her fold.

  I don't know if it's an illusion or not, but this ancient jade pendant has a kind of charm that makes people love it and can't bear to part with it.

  This is not the time to hesitate, at this thought, Lorrain wrapped these two things with his white handkerchief and put them in his arms. After confirming that the python was completely dead, he stood up and walked quickly towards Long'er.

  At this time, Long'er was lying on the ground, her slender figure wrapped in tight clothing, a white and beautiful face stained with blood, her eyes tightly closed. Lorrain went up to check her breath, confirmed that she had only fainted, then began to examine her wounds.

  This examination just found that, although the wounds on her body were not deep, there were too many of them. Moreover, they were inflicted by the python's serrated cone-shaped knife, and fresh blood kept gushing out non-stop. Professional blood transfusion rescue was urgently needed!

  Can't delay anymore!

  Lorin didn't say a word, and with one swift motion, he hoisted Long'er onto his shoulder. But just as he stood up, he suddenly felt a numbing sensation in the shoulder that had been bitten by the python earlier. His legs turned soft, his vision went black, and all his strength seemed to be sucked out of him, causing him to collapse to the ground.

  "Whoosh."

  Four people present, two died miserably, two fainted. The originally quiet night became even more silent at this moment. The pale blue light of the crescent moon in the sky faintly spilled onto the ground, and onto Long'er and Luolin's bodies. This scene was somewhat eerie.

  At this moment, a person quietly approached from a corner not far away. When he was sure that there was no movement on this side, he suddenly stood up and quickly went to check the breathing of the mountain cat and the python snake. After confirming that both were dead, he came to Luolin and Long'er's side, found that they had fainted, and immediately took out a mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

  "Brother Knife, something's happened. Just now, a fierce battle broke out over here. This little guy seems to have fainted from the wound on his shoulder. And there's also a woman, who appears to be the person he was trying to save. What do we do now?"

  "After a brief moment of silence, he quickly said: 'Save both! Come to my home!'"

  It is!!

  He hung up the phone, and the man who made the call lifted Lorrine and Long'er with one shoulder each, his footsteps steady and swift. Judging from his appearance, he must have possessed extraordinary strength, probably a martial arts expert with a very deep foundation.

  The dark night is quiet and still, without a sound.

  The battlefield was now left with only two cold corpses.

  Two lives, gone just like that from this world.

  Insignificant, insignificant, still insignificant.

  This is the eternal and unchanging melody bestowed upon humanity by the heavens.

  …………

  One night passed and when Lorraine woke up, it was already past five in the afternoon of the second day.

  Lorin opened his eyes to find that his body was still numb and sore, with a dull ache in his limbs. However, he didn't feel too weak due to his robust inner energy. He looked around and found himself lying in a lavishly decorated bedroom, but it wasn't the kind of gaudy luxury that made him uncomfortable. It was an unfamiliar environment, and Lorin recalled the moment before he fainted - the numbness on his shoulder. Suddenly, it dawned on him that the dagger might have been coated with some substance that could induce sleep or unconsciousness.

  Just then, the bedroom door opened and a well-dressed nurse walked in from outside. When she saw Loring's eyes open at that moment, a smile appeared on her face, and then she quickly turned around and walked out of the door, shouting: "Mr. Hu, the man who fainted has woken up!"

  Mr. Hu?

  Lorraine slightly furrowed her brow, who was this Mr. Hu? The owner of the house?

  Just as he was thinking, a robust middle-aged man quickly entered from outside, wearing a simple yet elegant black suit, with an unknown brand of cigar in his mouth, and a sharp and wise glint in his eyes. He walked towards Lorrin with a smile on his face and sat down on the bench beside him: "Young fellow, you're awake?"

  Lorin knew that the person in front of him had saved himself, although he didn't know what his intentions were, but he didn't have any resentment towards him. As Lorin's energy gradually recovered, he pulled up the pillow, propped up his body, and leaned against the headboard with a humble and grateful expression: "Hello, are you Mr. Hu? Although I don't know what the reason is, thank you for saving me."

  "No need to thank me, my man saw you and your friend unconscious by the side of the road, so he rescued you. It was just a small effort." As he spoke, this man known as Mr. Hu smiled and pulled out a cigar from his pocket, offering it to Loring, "Smoke?"

  "Sorry, I don't smoke cigars." Lorin shook his head and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Excuse my impertinence, but I think Mr. Hu should be an extraordinary person, shouldn't he? Shouldn't he be someone who wouldn't take in just any stranger? Have we met before?"

  Mr. Hu still smiled, but despite his efforts to put on a benevolent face like a philanthropist, his sharp eyes deeply betrayed him. This kind of gaze can only be possessed by men who have truly experienced life and death, and have seen blood and great scenes!

  After a slight pause, Mr. Hu was not prepared to hide anything, and this Lorraine was even more wise and intelligent than he had imagined: "To be honest, the taxi driver who followed you from head to toe is my man, and it was also him who saved you last night."

  Lorraine's eyebrows moved slightly, but she didn't show too much surprise, this was within her expectation, and after a slight recollection, it would be easy to link up.

  "So... Mr. Hu has been sending people to follow me, and now he's saved me again, what's his purpose?"

  "It's simple, I admire you." With a slight wave of his hand, Mr. Hu said, "Before, when I sent someone to follow you, it didn't affect your daily life. My older brother told me that you're an outstanding young man who isn't afraid to laugh at himself. At the time, I was skeptical and disagreed, but I've never doubted my brother's judgment. So, I sent someone to keep an eye on you, to see what kind of person you are, and if possible, provide some protection for you. Of course, this is a bit impolite. This time, I saved you, so we're even, and neither of us owes the other anything, okay?"

  Lorin narrowed his eyes, and found that this Mr. Hu was indeed not a philanthropist, but rather someone with a hint of gangster air about him, which couldn't be concealed, revealing that he too had a background in the underworld.

  "You said... big brother?" Lorin's attention shifted to the "big brother" mentioned by Mr. Hu, and he felt that this big brother was the key figure who had sparked Mr. Hu's interest in himself.

  "My elder brother's surname is Han and his name is Han Zhen Nan."

  Han Zhenan?!!

  Luo Lin was taken aback, he hadn't expected that the man named Han Zhen Nan, wasn't he a middle-aged man who looked like a big shot from the capital, whom he had saved not long after his rebirth? And what was the relationship between this Mr. Hu... and Han Zhen Nan?

  Mr. Hu smiled and said, "If you still remember Han's older brother, I think you should believe that I don't have any ill intentions towards you. Of course, it was my own initiative to send someone to follow you, which had nothing to do with Han's older brother, and I didn't tell him about this matter either. It's just that I'm simply interested in a young guy like you, and I wanted to see what kind of person could make Han's older brother look up to them. Although the things you've experienced may not be particularly impressive from my current perspective, but for someone as young as you, they're quite shocking, which is enough to prove that Han's older brother didn't misjudge you."

  Listening to Mr. Hu's words, Luolin was speechless in her heart. Looking at this guy who seemed quite mature, how could he be so childish in his heart? Just because Han Zhennan casually said that he looked up to me, he wanted to send someone to follow me? Was it just to verify that Han Zhennan's vision was correct?

  This Mr. Hu in front of me is either a naive person or someone with an obstinate obsession.

  Luo Lin was willing to believe the latter, because Mr. Hu had a majestic air about him, and was by no means an immature person. Although this behavior and initial intention were somewhat making a big deal out of nothing, Luo Lin still appreciated Mr. Hu's language style, which had a bit of a rebellious tone that suited his taste. At present, he didn't have too many misgivings. The only people in the world who could know about his connection with Han Zhenan were those around him, so there was no need for this Mr. Hu to deceive himself either.

  "Hello, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Hu. My name is Lorraine." At this point, Lorraine finally extended one hand and shook hands with Mr. Hu.

  Mr. Hu smiled: "I've known for a long time that you're called Luolin, the next successor of the Luo Group. Hehe, hello, little brother Luoluo, don't call me Mr. Hu, my name is Hu Yidao. Old Han calls me Xiao Dao, if you don't feel like you're losing out, then just call me Dage (big knife) once."

  Lorraine nodded and put down the hand she was holding, asking in a low voice: "Dage... where's my friend? It's a lady."
