Chapter 42: Narrow Victory (Seeking Recommendations)

  Confronting the masked strongman, Li Meng had already fallen into a precarious situation. If things continued like this, he would inevitably lose within ten rounds.

  Bang!

  Li Meng burst open the half-closed door of a room, slipped inside and locked it from the inside, but he knew that although the door was sturdy, it would not be able to withstand several kicks from the other side. He had to find a solution in this interval, otherwise what awaited him would absolutely be death. He no longer had any way out, and this room could hardly be called a hiding place, rather a desperate situation.

  But what made Li Meng anxious was that this was just a servant's room, and there were no weapons that could turn the tide of battle.

  Bang!

  Bang!

  The masked man outside kicked the door, causing it to severely deform with each kick. After a few kicks, it was on the verge of collapse. Finally, with a loud crash, the door didn't shatter, but the walls on both sides couldn't withstand the pressure and burst open, causing the entire door frame to be kicked in.

  The quality of Chen's family gate is very good.

  "Break in!" The masked strong man was very impatient, but then he regained his vigilance. He didn't rush into the room after breaking open the door, instead, he cautiously observed both sides of the door to see if there were any ambushes. Only when he found none did he slowly step inside the room.

  Although this is only a servant's room, the Chen family is wealthy and has a large space, with an area of over 20 square meters. The furniture is complete, and there is even a bathroom next to it.

  Although there was no light inside, the outside glow still illuminated the room clearly. There were not many places to hide, and under the influence of the idea that "the first comer is the master", the masked strong man had already locked Li Mang's hiding place in the nearby toilet with a closed door. His eyes turned cold, and the expression under the mask flashed with the playfulness of catching mice, and then he silently approached the toilet.

  At this time, Li Mang had nowhere to escape, a small bathroom, using an urn to catch a turtle was more vivid.

  He didn't know that behind the curtains by his bedside, a cold steel pipe had already taken aim at him. It was Li Mang, who held in his hands the air gun he had just retrieved from the Shan Hai Jing world, holding his breath and taking aim at the back of the masked man's head. At such close range, Li Mang was confident that he could accurately hit the opponent's head, although the air gun's power was ordinary, but making the bullet penetrate the brain was not a problem, and there was even a high probability that it would directly kill him.

  "Bang!"

  The gunshot was very loud, and the masked man naturally noticed it in the first time. But perhaps he had never expected that Li Meng was not in the bathroom, or perhaps because of his subconscious assumption that Li Meng did not have a gun or hot weapon, the masked man's first reaction was not to dodge, but to turn around.

  "Pffft!"

  This time around, Li Meng missed his target and a small lead bullet silently arrived at the front of the masked man, directly entering his right eyeball.

  "Ah! Ah! Ah!" The masked strong man wailed in agony, his eyes pierced by bullets. This pain was already beyond description. At this moment, he had no thought of revenge, but instead covered his eyes and stumbled out in a hurry.

  If Li Meng rushed out immediately, he might be able to catch up with the other party and leave him behind. The masked strong man who had lost an eye and was suffering from inhuman pain couldn't beat him! But Li Meng didn't rush out, instead, he returned the air gun to the Shan Hai Jing's Zhao Yao Mountain at the first time, compared with the secrets of Shan Hai Jing, the fact that the other party escaped was not worth mentioning. Li Meng couldn't afford to make the mistake of dropping the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds.

  When Li Meng rushed out to chase after the man from Shan Hai Jing, the masked strongman had already disappeared without a trace. Even the masked person who was originally lying in the hall and suspected of being a member of the Wu family was no longer there. Only the bodyguards were scattered all over the floor, and the Chen family of four was curled up in the corner of the hall. Li Meng didn't have any regrets about this either. He didn't come here to kill people today, but to protect them. Being able to do so was already a narrow escape from death, and he wasn't eager to seek revenge or anything else.

  "Call an ambulance to take them away!" Li Mang waved his hand wearily, not intervening in these trivial matters, and turned to walk up the stairs. Now that he was injured all over, he only felt that his bones were aching when he stopped, so he had to go upstairs to deal with it.

  The right wrist was bitten by a green bamboo snake, and the arm, abdomen, waist, head, and legs were all swollen and bruised. Some were beaten with fists and feet, while others were struck with sticks. Even Li Mang couldn't remember the specifics, and even moving slightly was extremely difficult, with waves of severe pain.

  The room had the ghost doctor's medicine powder, but there were cameras everywhere, so it was not suitable to go in and out. After thinking about it, Li Mang finally gave up, enduring it would be better. If this led to exposing his own secrets, it would be a loss.

  "Knock! Knock knock!"

  The knock at the door made Li Mang's eyebrows rise as he lay flat on his bed and asked, "Who?"

  "It's me, I've brought you some iron-hit medicinal wine." The voice outside the door was Chen Zixuan's, without its previous chill, and the gentle tone almost made Li Meng think it was Chen Zixing.

  "The door is not locked, come in!" Li Meng did not get up, being a member of the Yan Huang organization, he didn't think himself superior to others, but he wouldn't fawn on the wealthy people from the secular world either.

  Chen Zishan heard this and gently pushed the door open, seeing Li Mang lying on the bed, feeling grateful and slightly embarrassed, she quietly walked in.

  "Just put it on the bedside table!" Li Mang said without even lifting his head.

  "Ah!" Chen Zixuan unconsciously brought the medicinal wine to the bedside table, but when she was about to put it down, she suddenly felt that doing so would be very insincere. Li Mang had saved their whole family and was now injured all over; if she were to put down the wine and leave without a care, it would be too heartless, and she couldn't bring herself to do it.

  Under the devil's guidance, Chen Zixuan suddenly asked in a low voice: "Why don't I help you wipe it?"

  "... Li Meng finally turned his head to look at the beautiful CEO by the bed, a stunning beauty who said she wanted to help him apply medicine. To say he wasn't moved would be a lie, especially when he saw her face blush to the base of her neck in an endearing manner. He immediately agreed: "Then I'll trouble you!"

  "...Don't bother!" The beautiful CEO's face turned pink, her expression somewhat flustered, holding the medicinal wine for a long time unable to make a move, even she didn't think she would make such a request.

  "Oh, I forgot to take off my clothes!" After waiting for a long time without seeing any reaction, Li Mang suddenly came to his senses, stood up and painfully took off the clothes on his upper body. He winced in pain as his wounds were touched. He didn't know whether he should say that his fate was good or bad. Fortunately, he had obtained the Shan Hai Jing, which allowed him to enter a wonderful world that ordinary people could not touch. However, the two tasks he received were both beyond his expectations. Last time, he almost lost his life due to being invaded by evil spirits, and this time it was also a narrow escape from death.

  Seeing the wounds on Li Meng's body, which were shocking to look at, Chen Zixuan also felt ashamed of her own thoughts. Afterwards, she stopped being hesitant and carefully used a cotton swab dipped in medicinal wine to wipe Li Meng's wounds.

  "Hiss!"

  "Did I hurt you?"

  "It's okay, let's continue!"

  In movies and TV shows, it's always said that having a beautiful woman apply medicine is a very enjoyable scene, but Li Mang doesn't have this feeling at all. Apart from the pain, it's still painful. In such an atmosphere, can he have any other thoughts?
