Chapter 8 Shen Qingzhi's Room

Seeing Shen Qingzhi, Su Luo felt as if he had seen a savior.

However, before Su Luo could run over, he saw several luxury cars stop near her.

In front of her was a Rolls-Royce!

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man stepped out.

"Zhou Shihao!"

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Su Luo's pupils shrank.

Zhou Shihao, as a giant of Jiangbei Province, an underground overlord who had a hold over both the black and white worlds, wasn't just influential in the underworld; he also had a distinguished identity in the public eye as a major entrepreneur in Jiangbei, with companies involved in tourism, entertainment, real estate, renovation, and several other industries.

Therefore, Zhou Shihao was not a household name in Jiangbei, but the number of people who had seen his photos or read news about him was not small.

Having seen his interviews, Su Luo recognized him.

Even though he was still in danger and far from safe, Su Luo still felt a surge of jealousy.

However, he knew that now was not the time to go looking for Aunt Shen.

Otherwise, not only would he die, but he would also bring trouble to Aunt Shen.

Su Luo looked back and saw Lin Wu had not caught up yet, but he could faintly see his figure observing around dozens of meters away, as if searching for him.

Su Luo quickly bent down and ran towards the bar street.

Although he was no longer seeking Aunt Shen, he was now about to enter a weakened state and needed to find a safe place to hide and get through this period of weakness.

Otherwise, he would be done for!

"Fourth floor, seems like there's a room there?"

After turning from the bustling district ahead into the gloomy alley behind the bar street, Su Luo looked up and noticed that the room's light was off, seeming unoccupied.

"It's over, the aftereffects of the "Forbidden Blood Technique" are kicking in!"

Su Luo was initially hesitant, but now, he dared not hesitate anymore; he moved like a stealthy cat, circulating his True Qi, silently climbing the wall and scaling to the fourth floor to the room where the light was not on.

Luckily, the window was already open, and Su Luo easily entered.

Using the faint light from outside, Su Luo scanned the room and noticed it was simply furnished but had a touch of warmth.

From the decoration, it was a woman's room.

"Is this Aunt Shen's room?" Su Luo was dumbfounded soon after.

He saw a photo placed there, with the woman in it being none other than Shen Qingzhi.

Damn it!

Su Luo's complexion changed abruptly.

At this time, Shen Qingzhi was together with Zhou Shihao.

If Zhou Shihao followed Shen Qingzhi back to this room, wouldn't he discover Su Luo at a glance?

Although Su Luo planned to snatch Aunt Shen from Zhou Shihao's side and rescue her from misery, the current Su Luo clearly did not have the capacity to fight against Zhou Shihao.

If Zhou Shihao discovered him here, even if he could clear his connection with Aunt Shen, he would probably still be dead without a doubt.

Su Luo wanted to move, but his body ached and was weak. Even the slightest movement caused pain, as if being pricked by needles.

He couldn't muster any strength.

After trying a few times, a layer of cold sweat formed on Su Luo's forehead, and his complexion grew even paler, but he just couldn't move.

He had no choice but to give up.

At this moment, Su Luo could only pray that his luck would be good enough not to be discovered by Zhou Shihao's men.

He forced himself to calm down and began to absorb nature's spiritual energy to recover as quickly as possible.

With the influx of nature's spiritual energy into his body, circulating through a Grand Circulation and into his Dantian, the bead within his Dantian emitted a soft glow, nourishing his internal organs.

This allowed the injuries to Su Luo's organs caused by Lin Wu's shaking, as well as the aftereffects of the "Forbidden Blood Technique", to heal.

Su Luo was overjoyed.

But barely two or three minutes later, having recovered less than one-third, the door suddenly opened.

Su Luo's complexion immediately changed.

At this point, his injuries had recovered by less than a third, sufficient only for him to barely move, and he did not have the ability to leap out of the room the instant the door opened.

Even if he forced himself, falling from the fourth floor would likely kill him.

Su Luo could only hope that it was Shen Qingzhi who entered the room and that she was alone.

But if luck was truly against him to the extreme and Zhou Shihao also came, then Su Luo was prepared to pretend to be a burglar.

At the very least, he could ensure he wouldn't implicate Shen Qingzhi.

Soon, Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

He only saw Shen Qingzhi alone entering the room, which meant that heaven was still looking after him.

"Aunt Shen."

In the instant Shen Qingzhi turned on the light, Su Luo also called out softly.

Shen Qingzhi immediately became alert, "Who's there?"

"Aunt Shen, it's me, Su Luo!" Su Luo's voice was somewhat hoarse, and as he spoke, he still felt a tearing pain in his chest.

Then Shen Qingzhi realized there was a man in the room with his hands split open and his chest stained red with a large patch of blood, his complexion deathly pale.

"You are… Su Luo?"

Shen Qingzhi's complexion instantly changed.

She hurriedly glanced outside and quickly closed the room door.

Then she quickly came beside Su Luo, exclaiming in shock, "How did you get here? And how did you get so badly injured?"

No sooner had she spoken than Shen Qingzhi's expression changed again, "Could it be that Zhou Shihao found out about our affair and sent someone to kill you?"

Su Luo bitterly smiled, "No, it was the Dong Family who sent people to kill me. I was too badly injured and had to escape here to hide, not expecting to barge into your room by mistake."

"The Dong Family?" Shen Qingzhi's lovely eyebrows furrowed slightly.

But just then, the room door was suddenly knocked on, "Why did you lock the door?"

It was Zhou Shihao's voice!

Su Luo and Shen Qingzhi's complexions changed dramatically at once.
