I felt guilty after hearing Horse-Face's unreasonable words.

I was drugged by Duan Jinyan before. If Wei Shengnan and the others hadn't saved me, I don't know what my situation would be like now.

Wei Shengnan kindly left one of her disciples to take care of me, but that disciple was killed.

After much thought, I decided that I could only offer this family additional compensation afterward.

As for the cause of death, they pinned it on Duan Jinyan, saying we were attacked by the man in black robes.

The RV sped along and soon came to a stop outside an abandoned factory.

Horse-faced opened the curtains, pointed to the factory outside, and said to me, "Your friend is locked up inside. You can go and pick him up now. I'll have someone leave you a car. The rest of the way, you'll have to walk by yourself."

"Are you going to break up with me like this?"

After listening to what Horse-Face said, I replied very seriously, "If it weren't for your help, my friends would probably be in grave danger. I should thank you properly, both out of courtesy and because of courtesy..."

"There is no place in this world more carefree than Fengmen Village. For us, there is really nothing to miss about this place."

Niu Tou interrupted me: "We've already messed things up by failing to catch Duan Jinyan this time, so how can we be in the mood to care about anything else?"

Horse-face instructed his men to open the car door and said to me, "Get out. You'll have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. Once you've settled down, remember to call Sister Snake. She's very concerned about you."

"Bang bang bang!"

After I got out of the car, several gunshots suddenly rang out in the factory yard, and then the people inside began to retreat.

The last man to leave handed me a gun and the keys to a van: "We don't have legal status. The cars in the yard are all stolen. We erased the engine numbers and changed the color haphazardly with color-changing film. Remember not to drive these cars into the city, otherwise you'll get into trouble if the traffic police stop you."

I took the pistol and nodded: "Thank you."

"The person is locked in the innermost room of the abandoned factory."

The man left a message, got into an off-road vehicle, and drove away with the RV.

"Bang! Bang!"

I rushed into the factory, fired two more shots, and ran to the innermost room.

This factory has been abandoned for a long time, and everything that could be dismantled has already been taken away. The door to this room was also haphazardly nailed up with wooden boards.

"Bang!"

I kicked the dilapidated wooden door open and yelled, "Monkey! Jiang Man, are you in there?"

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"

At this moment in the room, Jiang Man, Monkey, Manjing, and Lin Que all had their hands tied behind their backs, their mouths gagged, and their faces blindfolded.

Seeing that they were all there, I breathed a sigh of relief and ran over to pull the cloths and blindfolds off their mouths.

When the monkey saw me, it excitedly kicked its legs on the ground: "Young Master Duan, you're still alive? You scared the hell out of me! I've been dreaming about you dying these past few days, and I'm digging up your corpse!"

I untied the ropes binding Jiang Man's hands and said quickly, "Alright, this isn't the place to talk. We need to leave as soon as possible!"

Jiang Man stretched her arms and joined in, asking, "How did you know we were here? Did my dad provide the information?"

Hearing Jiang Man's question, I sighed: "Uncle Tian's situation is a bit complicated. Let's leave here first and talk about it later. Let's go!"

After the ropes binding us were untied, we grabbed our guns and ran into the yard.

The monkey followed behind me, looking at the empty factory area with a puzzled expression: "Young Master Duan, there were at least seven or eight people guarding us here before, how come they've all disappeared?"

"You were kidnapped by the men in black robes. Wei Shengnan found out about this place. They came here today to arrest people, and I came with them! The guards here are very vigilant. When they saw us arrive, they all ran away. Wei Shengnan and the others have already chased after them."

I couldn't think of a good excuse for a moment, so I gave them a vague answer and ran towards the van: "I don't know if they have any backup, let's get out of here as soon as possible."

After listening to my words, Jiang Man helped Lin Que into the car: "The medical conditions here are very poor. The guards only gave him some simple antibiotics before, and now his wound is showing signs of suppuration. He must go to the hospital as soon as possible, otherwise his life will be in danger!"

Lin Que's eyes were sunken and his face was sallow from the injuries. When he saw me looking at him, he forced a smile and said, "Big brother, I can still hold on!"

I glanced at Lin Que's arm, which was casually wrapped in a piece of gauze. Yellow pus and blood were mixed together, making it look terrible.

Seeing Lin Que in this state, I felt particularly sorry for him. I stepped on the gas pedal hard: "I don't know if this car has any paperwork. I know to drive it to the edge of the city. When that happens, Monkey and Manjing will take Lin Que to the hospital first. Tell them that he accidentally cut his hand while doing farm work, but he didn't want to spend the money, so he kept putting it off until now!"

"Young Master Duan, are you going to separate from us again?"

After hearing what I said, the monkey's expression immediately became tense: "After we parted this time, I thought I would never see you again in my life! We just met today, and we have to part again?"

"I need to buy a new phone and get a replacement SIM card, otherwise how are we going to leave this place and pay for Lin Que's medical expenses?"

I rolled my eyes at the monkey and continued, "I don't have any useful connections locally, so Jiang Man has to come with me. I need her to contact people at Tianxia Group to help us."

I drove my van all the way to the edge of the city and parked it in an inconspicuous grove of trees.

After waiting for about five minutes, I flagged down a taxi returning from the countryside and had Monkey and Manjing take Lin Que to the hospital first. Then Jiang Man and I boarded the bus to the county town.

After Jiang Man waited for the bus, she glanced warily at the other passengers to make sure everything was alright before sitting down next to me. She looked at me with some anger and asked, "Why did you lie to us and stay outside alone in danger in the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace passage that day?"

“You know the situation back then. Someone had to stay behind, and I was the best candidate. The fact that I’m alive and here talking to you proves that my judgment was correct.”

I understood that Jiang Man was complaining that I shouldn't have abandoned them and risked my life that day. Although we had a lot of minor hiccups, the outcome was good in the end. After answering Jiang Man's question, I rubbed my cheeks and said, "I was drugged by Duan Jinyan before and just woke up today. In order to save you, I called Uncle Tian as soon as possible, but he heard that your situation was not good after hearing that you were missing."
