Chapter 152 Rescue

Jiang Ran realized something was wrong with her, her brows furrowed slightly, she put down the talisman in her hand, and after calculating with her fingers, she discovered that Si Zuochen was in danger. Her expression turned cold, and she quickly found out his location.

She got up and headed over there. When she arrived, she bumped into the driver and immediately asked, "Where's A-Chen?"

The driver pointed inside and whispered, "The young master went in with the master."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran's expression gradually turned ugly. She turned around and hurriedly walked inside. The driver hesitated for a moment, then followed behind her.

Jiang Ran had a general idea of ​​where she was going, and as she walked deeper into the area, she saw Si Zuochen lying on the ground. She quickly ran a few steps, squatted down beside him, and whispered, "Achen!"

Si Zuochen seemed not to hear, and an unnatural flush appeared on his face, indicating that he was already somewhat out of consciousness.

He was still muttering incoherently. Jiang Ran reached out and touched his forehead, and sure enough, it was burning hot, a symptom of a fever.

Hearing him murmur, Jiang Ran leaned down to listen and faintly heard him say something like, "No, don't do this..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran felt a wave of doubt wash over her.

Just then, the driver arrived at the scene. Seeing the scene before him, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he hurriedly asked, "Madam, what happened to the young master? He was perfectly fine when we arrived."

After saying that, she reached out to help him up.

Jiang Ran frowned slightly and gently stopped her, "Don't touch him yet!"

Upon hearing this, the driver paused, then gently placed Si Zuochen on the ground. Jiang Ran looked down at him, peering through his body into his body, and noticed a sinister aura within him.

He immediately realized that this must be the cause of his sudden high fever. His eyes narrowed, and he said to the driver, "I need to give him acupuncture. Could you please help me?"

A look of surprise flashed across the driver's face, clearly not expecting Jiang Ran to have this skill. Then, regaining his composure, he replied repeatedly, "Okay."

Then, with her help, Jiang Ran removed half of her top, and gently twisted a silver needle in her hand, inserting it into the acupoints.

The silver needles were just a pretext; the important thing was to transfer spiritual energy into his body to prevent the yin energy from causing trouble.

After a short while, Jiang Ran stopped what she was doing, pulled out the silver needles, and helped him put his clothes back on.

Si Zuochen noticed something was wrong with his body, and his brows furrowed tightly, but he did not wake up.

The driver then asked, "Do you need an ambulance?"

Jiang Ran slowly shook her head, then said, "He's fine now, no need to call an ambulance. Please help him into the ambulance and find the nearest hospital to check if there are any other abnormalities."

After hearing Jiang Ran's words, the driver suddenly realized something, looked up at her, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Aren't you leaving with us?"

"I have something to do." Jiang Ran looked up at the corner and explained, "You take him away first."

"Okay," the driver nodded and replied.

Then she bent down and picked Si Zuochen up in her arms, nodded slightly to Jiang Ranwei, and turned to leave, leaving her alone in the same spot.

The driver walked outside and came face to face with Gu Nan, who had just arrived.

Gu Nan quickly took Si Zuochen from his hands, a fierce glint in her eyes: "You're just going to let him do as he pleases?!"

The driver lowered his head, avoiding eye contact.

Gu Nan's expression turned cold. She carried Si Zuochen into the car and drove away. The driver quickly drove after them.

On the other side, Jiang Ran's eyes flickered slightly, and a strange expression flashed across her face. When the driver mentioned Si Yanxiao, she took the opportunity to do a divination for him and found out that he would also encounter misfortune.

Even if you hate him so much, you can't just stand by and watch him get into trouble.

Moreover, looking down at the heavy object beside him, Jiang Ran immediately understood. After all, he had saved his brother's life.

Both morally and logically, she couldn't just let it go.

Thinking of this, he walked straight toward Si Yanxiao.

Meanwhile, Si Yanxiao was chasing Bai Zhuwei's figure when he arrived at an extremely secluded place, but at a corner, his figure disappeared instantly.

Realizing he had lost track of them, Si Yanxiao felt a surge of anxiety and hurriedly started searching. However, he unexpectedly found himself in a dead end. Just as he was about to leave, his gaze swept across the area and he suddenly noticed a fuse and a bunch of unidentified objects in front of him.

He only had himself to blame for rushing in and not noticing. The pile of things was quickly ignited by the fuse, and flames soon engulfed the dead-end alley. Si Yanxiao was immediately startled, wanting to escape but finding no place to put his feet.

Jiang Ran noticed the strange phenomenon not far away and quickened her pace, heading in that direction.

When she arrived, she saw Si Yanxiao trapped inside by the fire. The fire was gradually approaching Si Yanxiao, and Jiang Ran couldn't help but feel anxious.

He twirled his fingers and looked around. He saw a water pipe not far away, but it was blocked and no water was coming out. He quickly took out a talisman, which lit up and disappeared into thin air. The blockage in the water pipe was also cleared.

Jiang Ran hurriedly turned on the water and rushed towards Si Yanxiao.

Just as Si Yanxiao was at a loss, water fell from the sky and extinguished the fire in front of him in a short while.

Upon seeing this, Si Yanxiao quickly looked up and saw a figure in front of him. When he looked closely and realized that it was Jiang Ran who had saved him, his expression froze and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Seeing him standing there motionless, Jiang Ran frowned and couldn't help but urge him, "What are you standing there for? Come out!"

A stiff look crossed Si Yanxiao's face. He walked up to her and awkwardly asked, "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Ran was taken aback by his words, unsure how to explain, so she changed the subject: "I haven't even asked you yet, what are you doing here? And trapped in the fire, what would you have done if I hadn't happened to run into you?"

There was a hint of reproach in her words, but Si Yanxiao heard it and, whether it was his imagination or not, he felt a touch of warmth.

Surprisingly, he didn't retaliate or argue, but still said coldly, "I have my own things to do, what's it to you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran scoffed coldly, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Si Yanxiao watched her retreating figure, a conflicted look flashing across his face. He was grateful for her rescue, but didn't know how to thank her.

Seeing that he hadn't followed, Jiang Ran stopped and turned back to urge him, "Aren't you coming?"

Si Yanxiao hesitated slightly, turned his head to look around. He had finally found Bai Zhuwei's whereabouts and did not want to give up just like that.

But this unexpected incident happened, and now is not a good time to search for her, especially since it is late at night. If she has already gone home, how could you possibly find her if you are outside?

Thinking of this, he decided to send someone to thoroughly investigate the area, so he took a step forward and followed, replying coldly, "What's the rush!"

As the two walked outside, Si Yanxiao suddenly realized that the two were unusually harmonious, and Jiang Ran hadn't uttered a single word the whole way.

Feeling a little awkward, she said directly, "Although you saved me today, don't try to use this to threaten me."

After saying that, he lowered his eyes slightly to look at the ground, but did not hear Jiang Ran's response for a long time.

A hint of surprise flashed through his mind. He quickly walked a few steps to her side and said again, "Hey! I'm talking to you."

Jiang Ran looked up at him. Si Yanxiao was startled by her pale face and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Ran could only see his lips moving as he asked the question, but she couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

He stumbled and fell into darkness.

Seeing her faint and lean forward, Si Yanxiao quickly reached out to support her. He saw that her limbs were weak and powerless, her eyes were closed, her brows were furrowed, and her face showed obvious signs of discomfort.

Seeing this, Si Yanxiao frowned, reached out and touched her forehead. Seeing that she did not have a fever, he couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt. She didn't seem to be faking it.

Ignoring their relationship, he hurriedly scooped her up in his arms and rushed toward the car.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the shadows of the slums, a man and a woman faced each other.

The woman asked directly, "Now that everything is done, what's the next step?"

The moonlight shone on her face. If Si Yanxiao were there, he would be greatly surprised, because the person in front of him was none other than Bai Zhuwei, whom he had been searching for for a long time without success.

The man opposite her was dressed in black, his face hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see his expression.

He replied coldly, "He is now completely convinced that you are still alive, but he is struggling to find your whereabouts."
