Chapter 382 The authorities are obsessed with it
After Shen Li and Su Ran said goodbye to Nangong Qi, they slowly walked along the bustling street towards the inn.
Shen Li's face showed a hint of fatigue, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her mind was like a kaleidoscope of thoughts, with the thrilling and dangerous scenes she experienced that day flashing through her mind from time to time. Those scenes were like shadows that lingered around her, making her mood unable to calm down for a long time.
Su Ran followed quietly behind Shen Li. His eyes seemed to drift towards Shen Li from time to time inadvertently, and he pretended to care about her. However, deep in his eyes, he hid thoughts that others could hardly detect. In fact, his thoughts had already drifted away, occupied by some inexplicable emotions and thoughts.
Soon, the two returned to the inn.
As soon as Shen Li stepped into the inn, before she had time to relax her tense nerves and take a breath, Zhao Lin came to meet her like a gust of wind.
He was tall and agile, with steady and rhythmic steps. He came in front of Shen Li in a few steps.
Zhao Lin quickly clasped his hands together, knelt on one knee, and performed a very standard and respectful salute. He then reported solemnly, "County Lady, today, when Young Master Luo was out, he unfortunately encountered a sudden assassination.
However, with the blessing of Heaven, Young Master Luo is blessed with great fortune, and he is now safe and sound. When the master learned of this, he specially sent me here to wait for the county lady's return, saying that he had something extremely important to discuss with you in detail.
When Shen Li heard this, her beautiful brows were instantly furrowed, as if a dark cloud was covering her brows, and a trace of worry and doubt flashed across her eyes.
She nodded gently, and said anxiously, "Go back and report to Father first. Tell him that I already know about this matter. I will go and check on Young Master Luo first, and then I will go find him."
Su Ran stood aside, taking it all in calmly.
When the word "An Ran" reached his ears, his heart seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, and he was shocked violently. Then a surge of resentment and anger surged into his heart like a tide.
He gritted his teeth, thinking bitterly, "An Ran? Humph! This is absolutely ridiculous! Those good-for-nothings spent so much time and energy planning this, and yet they let him get away unscathed! What a bunch of useless idiots who are only capable of causing trouble!"
Thinking of this, his hands involuntarily clenched into fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms, as if only in this way could he vent a little of the resentment burning like a raging fire deep in his heart.
After a moment, Su Ran took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement, secretly encouraging himself, but his eyes still revealed a chilling and sinister look: "It doesn't matter if I failed to kill him this time, after all, there will be another chance next time.
He was so audacious that he attempted to take Li'er for himself. I will never let him go easily and I will never let him go! Sooner or later, I will make him pay a heavy price for his actions and let him die in my hands!
After a brief pause, Shen Li slowly turned around, looked at Su Ran calmly, and said softly, "Su Ran, I'm going to go check on Mr. Luo's situation now. You can make your own arrangements first."
Su Ran's face instantly showed the gentle smile he was always good at. That smile was like a spring breeze, soft and warm. He whispered softly, "Li'er, what are you talking about? Now that Master Su has been injured in such a dangerous assassination, it is only right that I accompany you to visit him.
Li'er, don't you want me to visit your cousin?" Although his words still sounded so gentle and polite, there was a hint of imperceptible stubbornness and unwillingness hidden in the depths of his eyes.
He stared into Shen Li's eyes, as if he wanted to find out the truest thoughts in her heart through her eyes.
Listening to Su Ran's seemingly ordinary yet strange words, Shen Li felt more and more that Su Ran's words and deeds had completely changed in recent days. He always exuded an indescribable strange aura, which was really unpredictable.
She subconsciously frowned slightly, secretly wondering: the free and easy-going and unconcerned Su Ran of the past seemed to have disappeared.
Nowadays, whether he is speaking or doing things, he always has an inexplicable emotion. This feeling is very strange, but she can't figure out what went wrong.
She waved her hand gently and said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to, I just thought...that's all. Since you want to go, then come on, let's go and take a look together."
Seeing this, Su Ran raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a faint smile, and there seemed to be a barely perceptible hint of pride hidden in that smile.
Then, he walked forward, intentionally or unintentionally, and walked in front of Shen Li, as if his posture was declaring some kind of sovereignty.
Shen Li followed behind, raised her hand and scratched her head, her heart full of confusion like a tangled thread.
She carefully recalled Su Ran's behavior during this period, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. However, no matter how hard she thought, she could not find out what exactly went wrong.
This strange feeling was like a thick fog, lingering tightly in her heart, unable to dissipate for a long time, making her feel extremely depressed and confused: "This is so strange! What happened to Su Ran?"
