Chapter 196 Su Ran kidnaps people
A few days later, the sun shone through the thin clouds and onto the Shen family's courtyard. Su Ran, dressed in white, came to the Shen family in a hurry.
As he stepped into the gate of the Shen family, he keenly noticed an unusual silence. After asking the servants, he learned that Shen Li and the other three had already gone out for a long journey.
The curiosity and desire to explore that had been hidden for a long time in Su Ran's heart suddenly grew wildly like weeds. A barely perceptible excitement and determination flashed in his deep eyes, and he immediately began to plan secretly.
He straightened his clothes and walked steadily towards the hall where Shen Shaodong was. After seeing Shen Shaodong, he saluted respectfully, and then said in a low but polite tone: "Uncle Shen, there has been a sudden change in my family, as if a huge rock was thrown into the calm lake, causing turbulent waves. I need to go back and deal with some things, so I will be leaving in the next few days.
I will come back after I have finished my work. I have some things I would like to discuss with Miss Shen Li after she returns, and I hope my uncle can convey them to me then."
There was just the right amount of worry in his eyes, making it difficult to detect anything unusual.
Shen Shaodong looked up at Su Ran, and seeing his still slightly pale face, his eyes unconsciously showed concern, and he said earnestly: "Su Ran, family matters are important, but you also have to take care of your body, don't overwork yourself, and be careful with everything.
The world is ever-changing, and many things are beyond human control. Relax and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Su Ran nodded slightly and agreed verbally, but his heart was not shaken at all by Shen Shaodong's instructions. He was full of curiosity and exploration of Shen Li's secret, as if he was being pulled by an invisible force and couldn't extricate himself.
After thinking all night, Su Ran wandered alone in the moonlit courtyard, weighing the pros and cons repeatedly in his mind. Finally, he decided to follow secretly the next day and find out Shen Li's secret.
The moonlight that night shone on him, outlining his tall yet slightly lonely figure, as if foreshadowing that he was about to embark on a road full of unknowns and dangers.
The next day, as the dawn broke and a hint of paleness appeared in the sky, Su Ran quietly followed Shen Li and the others.
Along the way, he used his lightness skills carefully, moving through the mountains and forests like a ghost. Every step he took was light and cautious, for fear of making a sound and alarming the three people in front.
His figure was looming among the trees, as if blending into this natural landscape, yet with an air of tension that seemed out of place.
As Shen Li, Nangong Qi and Shen Yu traveled these days, they were immersed in the novelty and exploration of the journey and did not notice that someone was following them.
Nangong Qi walked in front with an upright posture and a dignified demeanor, trying hard to play the role of a guide, but his problem of being directionally challenged was like a little tail that could not be shaken off, and would flare up from time to time.
When they were at a fork in the road, he always had a frown on his face, a look of confusion in his eyes, and hesitated for a long time, not knowing where to go. Sometimes he even led the two of them around in circles. His look was both helpless and a little funny.
Shen Li followed behind, watching Nangong Qi's embarrassment. Although she occasionally made some jokes, and her clear laughter echoed in the mountains and forests, she was also always paying attention to the movements around her.
Her bright eyes were like twinkling stars in the night sky, scanning the surroundings vigilantly, not missing any trace of movement.
Shen Yu was agile and kept exploring the way ahead and turning back. He corrected the route with his keen intuition and observation of the terrain. His actions were swift and decisive, like a cheetah in the mountains, guarding the team's progress.
At this time, Su Ran, who was following behind, watched their interaction and felt that Shen Li was more and more mysterious.
He watched Shen Li's petite figure moving through the mountains and forests. Her calm and composed temperament, which was full of agility and intelligence, seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil, making her difficult to grasp.
He thought that if he could know Shen Li's secret, perhaps he could solve many doubts in his heart and grasp some key things about the changes in the destiny. The strong desire burned in his heart like a flame, driving him to move forward.
So he quickened his pace, trying to find a suitable opportunity.
After a few days, when we reached a remote forest, it was so quiet that we could only hear the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Su Ran felt that the time had come, so he deliberately made some noise. The noise was particularly abrupt in the silent woods, like some kind of wild animal running around in search of food.
Shen Yu was alert by nature, like a sharp falcon. After hearing the noise, he immediately ran towards the source of the sound without hesitation.
He was moving extremely fast, the fallen leaves under his feet rustled as his figure flashed through the woods.
When Shen Yu approached, Su Ran quickly threw out the aphrodisiac incense that had been prepared long ago. The aphrodisiac incense spread silently like a wisp of smoke.
Shen Yu was caught off guard. After inhaling the aphrodisiac, he instantly felt dizzy and his vision went black. He fell unconscious to the ground, and his body hit the ground heavily with a dull sound.
Nangong Qi became suspicious when he saw that Shen Yu had not returned for a long time. A look of worry appeared on his face and he also rushed in this direction.
His steps were hurried, his eyes filled with anxiety. Su Ran hid in the shadows, like a lurking cheetah waiting for its prey to approach. When Nangong Qi approached, he repeated the same trick and used the incense to knock Nangong Qi unconscious.
Nangong Qi cried out "Oh no" inwardly, but before he could react, he fainted and fell limply beside Shen Yu.
Then, Su Ran walked quickly towards Shen Li. Shen Li sensed the danger and was startled. Just as she was about to resist, she was also knocked unconscious by Su Ran's aphrodisiac fragrance.
Su Ran covered his face tightly, leaving only a pair of cold eyes exposed. He carried the unconscious Shen Li onto a carriage that had been prepared in advance. The canopy of the carriage swayed gently in the breeze.
Then he drove the carriage and whipped it. The sound of horse hooves rang out outside the silent woods. The carriage galloped away in the flying dust and finally arrived at a remote yard.
After Su Ran gave Shen Li the hallucinogenic pill, he waited nervously by the side.
After a while, Shen Li woke up leisurely. She looked around confusedly, not knowing where she was. She moved her body, but felt sore and weak all over, as if all her strength had been drained away.
She secretly groaned inwardly: It's over! Am I being kidnapped? I must find an opportunity to escape to the space.
Shen Li was confused and thinking about escaping when she suddenly heard a man's gloomy voice behind her saying sternly: "Little girl! I ask you, is your immortal master real or fake?" The voice cut through the silent air like an ice knife, making people feel cold.
Shen Li turned around in surprise and found a masked man behind her. She quickly thought of a countermeasure and thought to herself: So they kidnapped me just to ask me about my made-up master. I'll just make it up again.
So she pretended to be ignorant and said, "Who are you? What do you want from my master? He has retired."
There was just the right amount of confusion and innocence in her eyes, making it difficult to tell whether it was real or fake.
Su Ran was shocked when she heard this, and thought to herself: Could it be that there are really gods in this world? After feeding Shen Li the hallucinogenic pill, she would definitely not lie!
So he asked again: "What about the fairy pets, movable type printing, and high-yield grain seeds! Tell me quickly..." There was a hint of urgency and pressure in his voice.
Shen Li continued to imitate and deliberately said nonsense: "I told you that my master gave it to me! Come and ask one by one!" There was a hint of dissatisfaction and grievance in her tone, as if she had been troubled by these questions for a long time.
Shen Li's answer made Su Ran fall into deep thought. He thought that under the influence of the hallucinogenic pills, he could easily uncover the secrets of Shen Li, but now her words made everything even more confusing.
Su Ran paced back and forth in the yard, his hurried footsteps echoing in the yard. On the one hand, he doubted whether Shen Li really had such a mysterious master, and on the other hand, he felt that something was wrong. After all, her answer was too vague and general.
Shen Li was quietly observing Su Ran's reaction, secretly thinking about how to get out of this predicament.
She didn't know whether the lies she made up would be exposed, so she had to come up with a plan as soon as possible. At the same time, she was also worried about the safety of Nangong Qi and Shen Yu. She didn't know whether they had discovered that she had been kidnapped, and whether they could find her successfully.
Or perhaps they were also captured together? A trace of worry and anxiety flashed in her eyes from time to time, but she tried hard to hide her emotions in front of Su Ran.
