"Think you can run? Did you ask first?!"
Wan Yuanhai sneered coldly. His figure flashed like lightning, and with the speed of a Great Grandmaster unleashed to its extre, he instantly reached the window. He threw a punch, and the burst of his fist shone brightly, aiming directly at Su Luo.
He had been on the lookout for Su Luo escaping through the window and certainly wouldn’t give Su Luo the chance.
However, the punch he threw hit nothing but Su Luo’s afterimage.
"Bang!"
Using the Phantom Step, Su Luo left behind an afterimage and his true body charged towards the wall. Mana surged within him, bursting forth, turning him into a humanoid tyrannosaurus that smashed through the wall, rushing into the room next door where An Ran resided.
His feint towards the window was just a ruse.
Su Luo knew very well that Wan Yuanhai, as a Great Grandmaster, would surely be guarding against any escape through the window. The likelihood of escaping that way was next to none.
Thus, the route he chose exceeded everyone’s expectations.
"Damn it."
Wan Yuanhai realized he had been tricked, and a flicker of rage crossed his face as he followed instantly.
anwhile, Zhou Shihao, who was forcibly holding back Li Zong, an Elder of the Dragon Soul Chamber of Comrce, sensed the commotion and heard Wan Yuanhai’s voice. He imdiately abandoned Li Zong.
"Bang!"
He punched the door open, released his Inner Strength, and swept it towards Su Luo who had just erged.
But in the next mont, he too realized he had been played.
It was still only an afterimage of Su Luo.
At this mont, the floor in the room that originally belonged to An Ran had caved in, leaving a hole as large as a well.
It turned out that Su Luo had smashed directly through the floor to head to the lower level, thus avoiding the Elder Zhao outside.
Downstairs, in another room.
A young couple had just finished washing up, ready to get cozy, when a loud noise accompanied the shattering of the ceiling, and a figure fell from above.
This shocked them on the spot.
The girl hurriedly grabbed the blanket to cover her body.
"Who are you?"
The couple asked in panic.
"Sorry, sorry!"
Su Luo, without even a glance at them, left behind an apology before rushing out the room door, angering the couple greatly.
But in the next instant.
One after another, people jumped down through the hole in the ceiling, changing the couple’s expression over and over, especially upon perceiving an oppressive killing intent that nearly scared them senseless. They quickly covered themselves with the blanket, not daring to speak further.
Upstairs.
Wan Yuanhai, Elder Zhao, Zhou Shihao, and several other Elders from the Dragon Soul Chamber of Comrce chased after Su Luo. An Ran imdiately wanted to follow as well.
But Li Zong stopped her.
"Uncle Li, what are you doing? Brother Su Luo is in danger," An Ran urgently said.
"Miss, I cannot let you risk yourself. Moreover, Su Luo left a ssage when he escaped, instructing to keep an eye on you. He said he has a way to get away and told us not to worry," Li Zong said.
Although he was quite fond of the lad Su Luo, he knew his duty was to protect An Ran and not let her fall into danger.
Otherwise, if anything happened to An Ran, he wouldn’t be able to face himself, nor could he explain to the An Family.
"How can he get away with two Great Grandmasters on his tail?"
An Ran lost her usual gentleness towards Li Zong and spoke angrily.
Clearly, she was very upset with Li Zong for stopping her from helping Su Luo.
"Su Luo is that person’s grandson, and his rise has been so rapid, I believe that since he has said so, he must have a way," Li Zong said.
He then added, "Besides, Su Luo certainly doesn’t want to see Miss you fall into danger, otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such a choice. I hope Miss won’t let down his hard work and effort."
After all, this was Dragon Soul Chamber of Comrce’s territory. If the Dragon Soul Chamber of Comrce, in a fit of anger, really did sothing unfavorable to An Ran, Li Zong would be in no position to escape bla, even if it cost him his life.
An Ran’s fair and delicate fists were tightly clenched; this ti, she did not lose her temper at Li Zong.
She trusted Su Luo.
Besides, even if she were to go after them now, she probably wouldn’t be able to catch up. All she could hope for was that Brother Su Luo had managed to beco invisible and escape.
"Damn Dragon Soul Chamber of Comrce, damn Wan Yuanhai, damn Zhou Shihao." An Ran bit her teeth tightly, a trace of anger appearing on her pretty face, "If sothing happens to Brother Su Luo, I won’t let you guys off."
"Uncle Li, send out a ssage through the dark web imdiately, saying that Su Luo is my fiancé. If anyone dares to hurt a single hair on him, that would an making an enemy of our An Family of the Capital," An Ran said after a mont.
She wanted to use this to put pressure on the Dragon Soul Chamber of Comrce.
Li Zong quickly tried to stop her, "Miss, absolutely not. This matter has far-reaching implications; you must not act rashly."
An Ran and Su Luo’s engagent was sothing that not many people within the An Family of the Capital knew about yet, and it hadn’t been made public. Even the Family Head didn’t seem willing to let Miss continue with the engagent to Su Luo. Just revealing the engagent between the two could spark a huge upheaval.
Not to ntion, directly confronting the Dragon Soul Chamber of Comrce in such a na.
Such decisions were not even for the Family Head to make lightly, let alone for An Ran to act on recklessly.
"Then I’ll release it in my personal na, and I’ll visit the Dragon Soul Chamber of Comrce in the na of Miss An," An Ran said on the spot.
If Su Luo had escaped, then there would be no issue. But if Su Luo had been unluckily captured, her actions would at least save his life for now, and then she could plan further.
However, Li Zong still disagreed.
Even if An Ran were to release such a ssage in her personal capacity, to a certain extent, that would still represent the An Family.
Moreover, for An Ran’s personal reputation, this was also going to be sowhat damaging.
"Miss, please remain calm and don’t release these ssages. I will go out and look for him. Even if it costs my life, I will do everything in my power to protect Su Luo," Li Zong said loyally, not wanting the An Family and the Family Head to be put in a difficult position later on.
Because, he knew that An Ran had stolen the Eight-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng from the family to use for Su Luo. Although the Family Head said there was no problem on the surface, in reality, he had taken the pressure upon himself.
Having been with the An Family for so many years, although he was not a core mber of the An Family, he knew that the An Family was not entirely solid; there were indeed those who coveted An Shiqing’s position as Family Head.
But at that mont, An Ran’s phone suddenly rang.
An Ran took it out to look.
"I am safe, don’t worry, hurry back to the Capital!"
It was a ssage from Su Luo.
Seeing this ssage, An Ran finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Miss, has Su Luo escaped danger?" Li Zong saw An Ran’s relieved expression and imdiately guessed that Su Luo must have successfully escaped.
An Ran nodded.
But she did not intend to return to the Capital City just yet.
At least, she needed to make sure that Su Luo was indeed safe and had left Jintian before she could rest assured and leave.
However, she did not call Su Luo or ssage him to inquire about his situation; she knew that Su Luo was probably not completely safe at this ti.
...
Su Luo indeed was not absolutely safe at the mont.
He had only sent the ssage to avoid worrying An Ran, afraid she might do sothing drastic because of him. That’s why he hastily notified her.
"As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place."
After sending the ssage and putting away his phone, Su Luo imdiately headed toward the Dragon Soul Chamber of Comrce’s sub-branch, the Hua Feng Building.
Conveniently, he had originally wanted to go there to investigate whether Aunt Shen was within that sub-branch. It was a perfect chance now to evade pursuit and achieve two things at once.
