A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 147: Death of Zhou An
Duan Rong came to the flower hall in the backyard. Xiao Yu was standing by the door, yawning. When he saw Duan Rong coming, his eyes suddenly lit up.

She had been worried all night, and now that Duan Rong was fine, she finally felt relieved. She glanced at Duan Rong's shoulders and saw blood seeping from the straps tied around his shoulders. Her eyes moved and she asked, "Are you injured?"

Duan Rong smiled and said, "It's okay! Where's Mr. Xiao?"

"He's in there, chatting with accountant Xu!" Xiao Yu said, while her beautiful eyes scanned Duan Rong's body, not even missing a withered yellow pine needle stuck on his knee.

"The shopkeeper has something to tell me to bring to Mr. Xiao."

"Then go in."

Duan Rong pushed the door and walked into the flower hall. Xiao Yu looked at Duan Rong's back, thinking deeply.

Although she didn't know what Duan Rong was doing, she was sure that it was related to the matter of Young Master Ruan Jing. Now she saw Duan Rong returning to the escort agency safely with only a shoulder injury, and she finally felt relieved.

Duan Rong walked into the flower hall and paid his respects to Xu Shouxian and Xiao Zongting.

Xiao Zongting looked at Duan Rong, who was safe and sound, with a look of relief in his eyes.

"Mr. Xiao, the shopkeeper has instructed that among the prisoners, only Zhou An should be left behind!" After paying his respects, Duan Rong stated Ruan Fengshan's intention without any further ado.

Xiao Zongting and Xu Shouxian were both shocked when they heard this, and they looked at each other. Only Zhou An was left, which meant that they had already investigated it clearly, and it was Zhou An who was behind the incident with Ruan Jing.

Xiao Zongting clasped his fists towards Xu Shouxian and said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, thank you for sitting in this hall all night. Now the truth is clear!"

"Brother Xiao, you accompanied me for a whole night of drinking tea. This night of chatting helped me to resolve a lot of my worries. This night was not in vain." Xu Shouxian also clasped his fists and smiled in return.

The two of them laughed, and Xiao Zongting personally escorted Xu Shouxian out of the flower hall.

Afterwards, Wang De'an and Zhu Shicheng were also released. Xiao Zongting only left Sun Huang and two bodyguards to guard Zhou An, and the rest of the people withdrew first.

As soon as Duan Rong left the flower hall, Xiao Yu called him, threw a brown porcelain bottle stopper to him, and said, "Golden wound medicine."

Duan Rong reached out to take the porcelain bottle, and when he looked up, Xiao Yu had already turned and left. Duan Rong looked at Xiao Yu's back in the dim night, his eyes moving slightly.

Duan Rong returned to the dormitory of the Central Courtyard.

He took out his key and opened the door of his dormitory. He hadn't been back for more than a month. There was a faint smell of mold in the cramped dormitory. Duan Rong opened the window to ventilate the room.

There is no place like home. The moment Duan Rong walked into the dormitory, he felt completely relaxed.

He untied the straps on his shoulders and applied medicine to his wound. The stimulation of the medicine powder caused a spasm-like pain in the wound. Duan Rong gritted his teeth and endured it. When the pain subsided, he changed a piece of clean cloth and re-bandaged the wound.

Only then did he close the window and lie down on the bed.

"It's really not easy to be alive and lying on this bed after this trip!"

Less than half a year had passed since Duan Rong's soul traveled to this world of Kyushu, but he had already experienced almost all the cruelty of this world.

After the initial novelty of traveling through time wore off, he began to miss the life of a social animal on Blue Star...

Fighting and killing is really not easy...

Duan Rong sighed, and sleepiness came over him, and he fell into a deep sleep.

The moment he fell asleep, he seemed to see the bustling streets and the city that never sleeps, as bright and brilliant as the stars...

In his sleep, a tear overflowed from the corner of Duan Rong's eyes.

In his dream, he was homesick...

Sun Huang brought two bodyguards to guard Zhou An.

Sun Huang went straight into the room and stood at the door, his face as cold as stone. Now the situation was clear, and only Zhou An was detained. He not only had to keep an eye on Zhou An to prevent him from escaping, but also had to prevent him from committing suicide.

However, Sun Huang was still worrying too much. In fact, Zhou An didn't have the courage to commit suicide.

At this time, Zhou An just sat there with a pale face, trying to remain calm, his eyes occasionally sweeping across Sun Huang's face.

Sun Huang was standing in the room when he suddenly heard the bodyguards guarding the door, Yao Liangrong and Zeng Xiangui, whispering to each other. They were talking about the young master Ruan Jing.

Sun Huang coughed, opened the door a crack, and shouted, "Stand guard properly and stop talking nonsense."

Just as Sun Huang finished speaking, he suddenly saw Ruan Fengshan walking towards him from afar through the crack in the door. Sun Huang immediately opened the door and walked out.

Ruan Fengshan walked over with a frosty face, carrying the two unconscious servants.

Sun Huang clasped his fists and called out "shopkeeper". Ruan Fengshan just groaned deep in his throat and walked into the room. Sun Huang immediately closed the door behind Ruan Fengshan.

Ruan Fengshan threw the two unconscious servants on the ground at the door. His eyes were like poisonous snakes, staring at Zhou An, who was sitting there with a pale face but trying to remain calm.

Zhou An glanced at the two servants on the ground and his body went limp. However, he knew that if he confessed his guilt and begged for mercy, he would surely die. If he refused to confess until his death, he might still have a glimmer of hope.

Zhou An's shoulders trembled for a moment, and he forced himself to calm down. He asked with concern, "Have you found the young master? He is only three years old. In the hands of those thugs, the longer he delays, the more danger he will face..."

Ruan Fengshan's eyes swept across Zhou An's face. He didn't expect that Zhou An still wanted to hold on at this point. He sighed and said, "Did you ask Jing'er to write that calligraphy?"

After hearing what Ruan Fengshan said, Zhou An trembled and fell to the ground. He was so frightened that his body went limp, but he murmured with hatred in his eyes: "Yu Wenlong, you idiot, how could you let that brat live... idiot..."

Ruan Fengshan pulled out a barbed whip from his waist with an icy expression, took two steps with anger in his eyes, and cursed: "I'll beat you to death, you wicked dog!"

As Ruan Fengshan spoke, he whipped Zhou An in the face with a whip. With a scream, a bloody mark two fingers wide appeared on Zhou An's face!

The barbed whip directly scraped off a layer of his skin!

Zhou An rolled on the ground and screamed in pain. Ruan Fengshan whipped him with one whip after another...

Looking at Zhou An howling and rolling around as if he was thrashing in a frying pan, Ruan Fengshan's face was distorted and a sense of pleasure flashed through his heart.

Zhou An's screams made Sun Huang, who was guarding the door, tremble in his heart.

Ruan Fengshan beat Zhou An half to death before interrogating him. Zhou An was already mentally broken at this point, and in so much pain he just wanted to die quickly, so he recounted what had happened in a fragmentary manner.

After hearing this, Ruan Fengshan did not let Zhou An off the hook. Instead, he beat the ground even harder, causing Zhou An to lie there motionless...

His body was covered in rotten flesh, like a blood gourd covered in red hair...

Ruan Fengshan vented all his anger, walked over, and broke Zhou An's neck, but Zhou An had already died at this time...

Ruan Fengshan wiped the blood off his hands with the curtain beside him, but suddenly smelled a foul odor...

He turned his head and saw two unconscious servants lying on the ground by the door. One of them had woken up at some point and was shaking like a sieve, but he still had his eyes closed, pretending to be unconscious. However, there was a pool of dirt under him, which was obviously caused by feces and urine flowing out...

Ruan Fengshan walked over and broke the necks of the two servants...

After beating Zhou An to a bloody pulp, he had already vented all his anger and no longer had the mood to torture the two servants...

Ruan Fengshan walked out of the door, looked at Sun Huang, and said in a tired tone: "Boss Sun, thank you for your help! Deal with the three bodies in the room."

"Yes." Sun Huang bowed and clasped his fists.

Ruan Fengshan left with heavy steps. He was going to change his clothes and wash himself, but it was already bright outside and he had something important to do.
