Chapter 317: One vs. Two
After coming out of the burnt-out laboratory building, Si Xu first went to the Shen family.
Shen Yang's injuries have been controlled, but he is still in a coma. The doctors are busy coming in and out, and no one knows what they are doing.
The untied old butler sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea calmly. The group of people who came with Yan Jue squatted neatly in the corner of the living room, holding their heads in their hands, not daring to say a word.
Gu Yunqing leaned on the railing at the entrance of the stairs. Seeing Si Xu coming over, he waved his paw leisurely and pointed outside: "Sister Ranran is carrying the spoils to deal with the Luo family. If you go now..."
He glanced at his watch and estimated, "She probably hasn't finished packing yet."
Si Xu didn't enter the door, but turned around and left.
He was not interested in what happened to Shen Yang, nor did he care whether he was dead or alive. With Gu Yunqing and Zheng Li guarding the place, no one would be so blind as to come and cause trouble.
As he walked out of the gate, he met a group of people hurriedly coming towards him, supporting an old man.
They were walking in a hurry and didn't notice Si Xu standing on the side of the road at all.
After seeing who that person was, Si Xu pressed down his baseball cap and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible - he was in a hurry to find Jiang Ran and didn't want to be bothered by anyone here.
…
Hearing that Yan Jue brought people to cause trouble for Shen Yang, Old Man Yan was worried that he would be bullied, so he hurriedly brought people over to support him.
However, when he arrived at the Shen family, there was no sign of Yan Jue in the hall except for the group of association members huddled in the corner.
"You mean Yan Jue?" Gu Yunqing went upstairs. Only the old housekeeper was downstairs. He pretended to think for a moment before revealing a look of sudden realization. "Oh, Miss Jiang dragged someone to the Luo family. I wonder if it was Yan Jue."
"Miss Jiang? Jiang Ranran?" Upon hearing the name, Mr. Yan's eyes darkened. "She, she's back?"
The old housekeeper nodded: "Yes, I just arrived today."
Jiang Ranran didn't care. What was more important was the person next to Jiang Ranran. Old Master Yan asked tentatively: "Then, is Professor Si also..."
"Professor Si just left." The old housekeeper said with a smile, "Didn't you see?"
A surge of blood rushed to the top of his head and Mr. Yan's legs went limp. Fortunately, he was supported in time by the people around him.
"By the way, Elder Yan." Zheng Li suppressed his amiable smile and spoke with a pointed tone, "Our Shen family and the Yan family are old friends. Your Yan Jue's behavior today is really not very kind. This side branch is still a side branch after all. He has never seen the big picture and his horizons are too narrow. Isn't that right, Elder Yan?"
Zheng Li had always spoken to him politely in the past, but this was the first time he had spoken to him in such a sarcastic and innuendo-filled manner.
He did want to support the Luo family to take power, but the prerequisite for this support was that Luo Rui herself had to fight for it.
It was precisely because he didn't want to involve the Yan family in the power struggle that he chose to recommend Luo Rui - as the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. When the Luo family and the Shen family are both defeated in the fight, wouldn't that be the day for the Yan family to come to the fore?
His calculations were good, but he just received news that Vice President Yan Jue brought people from the association to the Shen family, suspected of forcing Shen Yang to give up the leadership of the base.
I knew this junior was eager to achieve success, but I didn't expect him to be so reckless.
However, on second thought, Yan Jue had already taken action, so he might as well take a gamble. Perhaps the Yan family would be able to gain some self-respect and no longer be inferior to the Shen family.
But I didn’t expect that Jiang Ranran and Si Xu would come back at this time!
It would have been fine if he just came back, but he also happened to catch Yan Jue and his group red-handed.
He could almost imagine what would happen to their Yan family if the Shen family was defeated.
The old man ignored the housekeeper's sarcasm and hurriedly led his men to the Luo family.
They walked quickly and arrived at Luo's house almost at the same time as Si Xu.
After squeezing through the layers of people outside the villa, the group finally entered the Luo family's hall. What caught their eyes was the scene of a girl fighting two people at once.
Jiang Ran had no expression on her face. She held a chair in her hand and smashed it down at the boy whose half body was covered in blood - her movements were fast and fierce.
Behind her, Luo Rui, whose face was also covered in blood, slowly crawled over and stretched out her hand to grab her ankle with great effort. She screamed with tears in her voice: "Jiang Ranran, let's not hurt Chengzhi after all the grudges between you and me!"
Jiang Ran looked down at her, raised his foot and kicked her on the shoulder, kicking her away.
Luo Rui was kicked and rolled a meter away. She felt a tearing pain in her shoulder and could no longer lift her arm.
She looked at her boyfriend who was breathing weakly not far away, then turned back to look at her brother who was watching from the sidelines. Finally, she let go of her dignity, crawled in front of Luo Yuting, and begged: "Brother, please save Chengzhi! Brother, please, save Chengzhi!"
He caught a glimpse of a group of people coming in from the corner of his eye, and then Luo Yuting retracted his gaze and looked at his sister.
There was a hint of sigh in his eyes, but he didn't refuse her request and walked towards Jiang Ran.
…
The chair in his hand was smashed into pieces, and the boy on the ground stopped moving. The anger that had accumulated in Jiang Ran's heart finally dissipated a little.
She hadn't originally planned to beat Xie Chengzhi so badly, but this bastard took advantage of the fair 1v1 fight between her and Luo Rui and used his supernatural powers to sneak attack her.
If she was just an ordinary psychic, she would probably be killed by them working together.
A sneak attack, taking advantage of someone's misfortune... Xie Chengzhi and Luo Rui, they could have followed Luo Yuting back to the Luo family in Nanjun to show their talents, but they chose to stay in Xiling and fight against her.
When being beaten, they cry and beg for mercy, but when bullying the seriously sick and injured, they call themselves justice and feel justified.
Oh, since you have participated in the power struggle, you must be prepared for failure - the loser deserves to be bullied.
Jiang Ran snorted softly.
It is unimaginable what would be waiting for Shen Yang if she did not come back in time today.
They did such a cruel thing to her brother, could they still expect her to show mercy to them?
Jiang Ran held the chair leg and tilted his head.
If this goes on, Xie Chengzhi will die, right? Since no matter how she tries to avoid it, she is destined to be on the opposite side of Luo Rui and Xie Chengzhi, it is better to make a break here and cut off the roots.
The bad guys have already done it, so they might as well do it to the end.
She raised the stick in her hand.
"Jiang Ran, that's enough."
Someone grabbed his wrist from behind. The man seemed to sigh and softened his voice: "This time it's my fault. If you have any grievances, come to me. If you hit Xie Chengzhi with this stick, he will be crippled if not killed."
The man's palm was very cold, and the biting chill slowly cleared Jiang Ran's brain, which had been drowsy from the anger and murderous intent.
Jiang Ran broke free from his wrist, threw away the chair leg, and swept his eyes over Luo Rui and Xie Chengzhi.
"Get out of Xiling Base right now," she said coldly. "Luo Rui, listen to me! You'd better stay in Nanjun quietly for the rest of your life. Don't go anywhere else. Otherwise, I will make you regret leaving Xiling alive today."
She glanced at Luo Yuting and said in a more serious tone: "And you, get out too."
Knowing that her inaction had stepped on the girl's minefield, to be honest, Luo Yuting didn't expect Shen Yang to be so important to her.
Just like him and Luo Rui, Jiang Ranran and Shen Yang had been separated since childhood and had little chance to spend time together. Was she here today for Shen Yang? Or was she trying to make an example of someone, to warn those who coveted the Xiling base?
