Chapter 183
It was after eleven o’clock at night when the two arrived home, and the night was without words.
Early the next morning, Song Nuan went to school, while Lin Ran came to the shop early to check on the renovation.
The renovation team had already come over and was delivering materials inside. Lin Ran took a closer look at the materials and saw that there were no problems, so he was completely at ease.
After leaving the shop, Lin Ran called Li Wansan directly to inform him of his need for medicinal herbs.
Li Wansan’s family was in the herb business, and although the shop he owned only sold high-grade medicines, his family’s factory had all kinds of medicines, so Lin Ran naturally looked to Li Wansan for the supply of herbs for this clinic.
The two of them arranged to meet at a nearby cafe, and when Lin Ran arrived, he was surprised to find that Luo Cheng had actually come too.
He was dressed in a more mature high-cla*s suit, his hair was tousled and he looked very much like a successful man.
“Brother Lin Ran, long time no see!”
Luo Cheng smiled and got up to greet him.
“Yeah, long time no see!”
Lin Ran responded with a smile, after not seeing him for a few days, Luo Cheng was indeed more and more mature nowadays, looking vaguely like the man in control of the Luo Clan.
“I heard that you want to buy herbs from Lao San?”
Luo Cheng asked with a smile.
“Mm! I’ve opened a clinic and need some supplies of medicinal herbs!”
Lin Ran didn’t hold back, this was something Luo Qiqi knew about, and sooner or later Luo Cheng would know about it too.
“Well this is all trivial, even I can supply the herbs in Lao San’s house, let alone a small clinic like yours!”
Luo Cheng laughed and Li Wansan, who was also smiling at the side, interjected at the words.
“Right, brother Lin Ran, don’t worry about this, I will definitely provide you with the best herbs and the lowest price!”
“Then, thank you, Brother Wan San!”
Lin Ran said with a smile.
While the three of them were talking, suddenly Li Wansan’s mobile phone was ringing.
“Old San, this man is busy with his business, don’t mind!”
Luo Cheng laughed beside him again, and Lin Ran smiled and shook his head at his words.
Soon Li Wansan hung up the phone and said with a slight apology.
“I’m really sorry, recently there’s a boss surnamed Li who has been wanting to develop in the Chinese medicine industry and asked me to go over for dinner, it’s hard to refuse the hospitality!”
“It’s fine, then you go ahead and get busy, I just happen to have something else to do!”
Lin Ran laughed.
“Brother Lin, otherwise I ….”
Luo Cheng just wanted to say that he would accompany Lin Ran to leave, it just so happened that he hadn’t talked much recently, but before he could finish his words, it was Li Wansan who pulled him back.
“You’d better accompany me to go, I’m not good at this kind of professional business negotiations, you go I have a bottom in my heart!”
“You …. All right!”
Luo Cheng was speechless and could only show a helpless expression at Lin Ran.
The first thing I did was to take a walk down the street.
Now the trail of the five poisons was broken again, and last night it was so easy to get close to the murderer, only to have the other side escape.
The murderer of Song Nuan was probably the person behind the Five Poisons, but the other party was slow to make his next move, so Lin Ran could only wait patiently.
Arriving at a square, Lin Ran noticed the huge projection screen on the square, which was playing the news.
“This station reports that the current missing population in Tamagawa City is still maintained at thirteen, according to the investigation, four of them have been identified as abducted and lost persons, all of them have now been recovered, nine people are still unaccounted for, and the suspicion of abduction cannot be ruled out!”
Looking at the news on the television, Lin Ran’s heart vaguely felt that something was not quite right, nine people were missing at once, and there was no disaster or flooding, so it was obviously a bit unreasonable.
“This is not going to be related to the five poisons, is it?”
Lin Ran thought in his mind, but at that moment, a cry for help from the Grand Master suddenly came from the side.
“Help, someone is being beaten!”
Lin Ran looked and saw that not far away in the square, four or five youths in black vests were surrounding an old man, cursing under their breath.
“Old man, you’re F**king looking for death, aren’t you? How dare you hit me!”
The youth in the lead shouted, he was about Lin Ran’s age and had a black mole under his eye, which looked very striking.
And opposite him, an old man, who was over half a hundred years old and whose hair was already snow-white, stood shivering and was hurriedly explaining.
“Young man, I’m seventy years old, my legs are not good, I really didn’t mean to hit you just now!”
“I don’t care if you did it on purpose, you hit me, apologised and then wanted to leave? If you don’t get some money today, I’ll kill you!”
The young man in the lead said arrogantly.
“That’s right! You don’t even know the reputation of our Brother Mole in this area, you want to leave after bumping into Brother Mole, I think you are really old and confused!”
A little brother on the side echoed.
The old man looked helpless and said.
“I’m over seventy years old, do you still want to bother with me about this? And I’ve already apologised!”
“Apologize? What’s the use of apologizing, just pay the money or don’t leave today!”
The young man with the black mole said, while taking out his mobile phone, adding.
“No money is fine, give me your son’s mobile number, I’ll ask him for it!”
The old man’s greatest fear was to trouble his son, and this group of people in front of him was obviously not yet a good fighter, so how could he as an old man be willing to let them find his son.
“I’ll pay for it! How much does it cost!”
The old man quizzed.
“Three thousand!”
The black-marked youth smiled, but the old man was instantly baffled.
Three thousand? His monthly pension was only a little over a thousand, and he had to take medicine on a regular basis, so this money was not enough at all, asking for three thousand at once, how could he afford it.
“Hey! Aren’t you guys going too far? You’re still human if you can’t get along with an old man!”
“Yes!”
“I think we should call the police if it doesn’t work!”
Soon the surrounding onlookers couldn’t stand it any longer, and one by one they were indignant.
Seeing this, the young man with the black mole snorted coldly.
“What? You can’t stand it! You can pay for him if you’re not used to it!”
When it came to money, the people around him stopped talking. Who had a problem with money? I’m afraid not many people were willing to pay.
“I’ll pay for this!”
Just as everyone was looking at the old man with sympathy in their eyes, a voice suddenly came from afar, followed by a young man walking over.
The youth was thin, with a faint smile tackled on his face, and looked extraordinary, but his clothes were a bit rustic.
“You out?”
The black-marked youth’s eyes narrowed slightly as he sneered.
“Kid, do you have three thousand F**king dollars? Dare to play Laozi, see if I don’t get you killed later!”
“If you don’t have a diamond, you naturally won’t take this porcelain job, I definitely have the money, but it depends on whether you can get it or not!”
Lin Ran laughed indifferently while taking out a bank card.
“There’s thirty thousand on this card, as long as you can take it, it’s all yours!”
“Good!”
The black-marked youth’s eyes lit up at the words and he sneered.
“Today is really an auspicious day, three thousand is not too much, and there is a gift of thirty thousand, then I will not be polite!”
Saying that, the black-marked man shouted at the men around him.
“Go! Bring his bank card to me, tonight, let’s go to the rich and famous’s house and have fun!”
“Okay, big brother!”
They hadn’t been to the rich and famous’s house for a long time, and the Xiao Li and Xiao Lan there made them miss them!
Chapter 184
“Young man, you should go now, they are not good people!”
The old man spoke up to persuade Lin Ran, if something happened to Lin Ran because of himself, how would he, his old bones, be able to repay him.
“Don’t worry grandpa, it’s alright.”
Lin Ran laughed indifferently, but at the same time, three or four punks had already rushed over, and their fists were greeted towards Lin Ran’s head.
But how could they hurt Lin Ran? With a kick, he kicked the punk in front of him away and then Lin Ran moved.
These punks found that they could not even touch Lin Ran’s body.
“Brother Mole, this guy…”
One of the punks saw that the situation was not right and wanted to greet Brother Mole himself, but just halfway through his sentence, he was dumbfounded.
The Mole behind him had somehow been locked around his neck and was standing in place, not daring to move, while Lin Ran, who had just been fighting with them, had actually appeared behind him.
“Get back here, all of you!”
Feeling the coldness coming from his neck, Brother Mole shouted in fright, not that he didn’t want to break free, but just now he couldn’t even break a finger of Lin Ran’s. He didn’t doubt for a moment that if Lin Ran wanted to kill him, I’m afraid it was just a matter of exerting a little force.
“Brother, be merciful, I am a black mole, it’s my fault today, you have to spare my life!”
The black mole said hastily.
“Spare your life? I didn’t think you were prepared to spare the boss’s life just now!”
Lin Ran said in a cold voice, forcing an old man who was over a hundred and a half years old was no different from forcing someone to die, Lin Ran did not believe his bullSh*t.
“No! No brother, he’s an old man who doesn’t need to hurt our peace, how about you take your hand away and I’ll buy you dinner and drinks!”
Black Mole said hurriedly, then seeing that Lin Ran was not paying attention to him at all, he hurriedly said again.
“I’ll take you to pick up girls, I’ll definitely get you whatever you fancy in the whole Temperance City!”
“Bah!”
Lin Ran smeared a mouthful of spittle on the black mole’s face and sneered.
“Not everyone is like you, only thinking about eating and drinking fat!”
“Then say, brother, what will it take for you to let me go!”
The black mole was really a bit anxious, he had never been tackled like this in his daily life, if it wasn’t for the iron grip on his neck, he wouldn’t be so aggrieved and begging for mercy.
“Get lost immediately!”
Lin Ran said.
“Fine! I’ll get out of here right now! Get lost immediately!”
The black mole hurriedly said, since his anger was raging in his heart, he had to give in at this moment, if Lin Ran really started to kill, in the end, it would be himself who would suffer.
Lin Ran smiled blandly at his words, and immediately let go of his palm.
But at that very moment, the young man with the black mole moved, he collapsed forward violently and swept his fist back from the side, straight towards Lin Ran’s head.
If this group was hit, I’m afraid that Lin Ran would have to suffer a concussion or something if he didn’t die.
“Young man be careful!”
The old man hurriedly warned by the side again, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he was dumbfounded.
He saw that Lin Ran was standing still, but the black mole’s fist had gone straight through Lin Ran’s body, without hurting him at all.
“Holy Sh*t! What’s going on!”
“Yes, this man can’t be transparent!”
Even the black mole himself didn’t know what had happened, his palm had just touched Lin Ran’s body, but it was no different from hitting the air.
Just when everyone didn’t know what was happening, suddenly Lin Ran’s figure slowly dissipated, and a huge fist, directly from the from face towards the black mole’s cheek.
“Bang!”
With a muffled sound, Black Mole’s entire body was directly knocked to the ground, and blood immediately spurted out of his mouth.
Lin Ran’s punch had a very good grasp of force, only knocking out two of the black mole’s teeth and not hurting his muscles and bones.
“Poof!”
A mouthful of blood spat out, with a few teeth mixed in, the black mole man looked furious and shouted at his men at the side.
“Go on, kill him, if you can’t F**king kill him today, I’ll kill you all when I get back!”
“Ah! It’s big brother!”
The three or four punks were scared half to death, they had seen how ruthless Black Mole was, and he would really do what he said.
The three or four punks didn’t care about Lin Ran’s hands at this moment, they would at most be beaten up, but if they didn’t go there, Black Mole’s methods would be tens of times more ruthless than the youth in front of them.
“There really are those who are not afraid of death!”
Lin Ran laughed helplessly at the situation, followed by a punch that knocked the punk who rushed up to him to the ground.
After that, he lunged at several other punks, but these punks saw that their companions could not withstand one punch and directly fainted.
They were so scared that they turned around and ran away. No matter how much the black mole shouted behind them, they just ran away without looking back.
“Looks like these few of your men are no good!”
Lin Ran laughed, while walking next to the black moles.
“You …. Don’t you come any closer! There’s someone above me!”
The black mole was so scared that he quickly shrank back, but with all the people behind him, he had nowhere to retreat to.
“O? There’s someone up there? Who is it? For goodness sake!”
Lin Ran laughed blandly, while raising his hand as if he was about to hit someone.
“No! Don’t hit, there’s really someone above me!”
The one under the black mole said hurriedly, while taking out a gold watch and saying.
“I’m Mr. Li’s man, this is the token, if you dare to touch me, Mr. Li will definitely not get around you!”
“O?”
Lin Ran was interested and looked at the gold watch in the hands of the black mole, he had seen this gold tag before, it seemed that Li Cong had one yesterday in Digital City, he just didn’t know if this Li Cong was the General Manager Li that the black mole was talking about.
Seeing that Lin Ran hesitated, the black mole thought that Lin Ran was afraid and suddenly said arrogantly.
“Kid be smart and hurry up and get out, Mr. Li’s strength to mess with you is no different than crushing an ant, I advise you to stay where you are cool.
“Is that so? Then I’ll send you to cool off first!”
Lin Ran laughed, and immediately got up and pulled the collar of the black mole, flinging it straight towards the side.
There was a small river next to the square, where many people usually cooled off, and at this moment, the black mole was thrown into the river by Lin Ran, immediately attracting more people to look around.
The black mole couldn’t hold his face, and while flopping in the water, he hurriedly shouted.
“I… I’m Mr. Li’s man, kid …. You… Wait to regret it!”
“Who’s General Manager Li?”
Lin Ran asked blandly as he stood by the river.
“Want to know now,…. It’s over, you girls wait to die!”
The black mole shouted
Lin Ran smiled blandly at his words and said.
“Is that so? You’d better think about whether you can live first! This river is very deep!”
“Ah!”
Only then did the black mole react to the fact that he was still in the water, but he couldn’t even touch the bottom, so he panicked at once.
“Help… Help!”
The black mole hurriedly shouted, but no one paid any attention to him at this moment, as everyone could see clearly what he had just done.
“Stupid!”
“Idiot!”
One by one, the onlookers couldn’t help but laugh out loud, Lin Ran’s last words were obviously bluffing this black mole.
Because the water in this creek was only two metres deep, a normal person would be able to feel it if they struggled twice, it was just that this black mole was scared out of his wits and didn’t even notice.
