Gao Wu: I'll enjoy the benefits, but you'll bear the side effects.

The driver was Lin Shengzu's obedient henchman, a ruthless man who was used to being cruel. But when he saw that Gao Jie had such great abilities, the fear in his heart grew wildly like weeds.

He dared not hesitate for a moment, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, and he slammed on the gas pedal, sending the car rushing forward like an arrow.

The car sped along the surrounding roads, and the henchman's nerves were on edge. His body trembled slightly, and his breathing was rapid and disordered.

His eyes were fixed on the front, but the more nervous he became, the more flustered he became.

In this extremely chaotic situation, the car nearly hit a pedestrian at a corner.

The passerby was so startled that his face turned pale, and he cursed, "Hey, watch your step! You almost hit someone, don't you know that?"

Gao Jie frowned, his eyes flashing a stern warning, and he spoke loudly.

"You better watch out!"

After saying that, he kept a close eye on the henchman to prevent him from causing any more trouble.

Fortunately, although the journey ahead was still nerve-wracking, we managed to drive to the vicinity of our destination without any major incidents.

After getting out of the car, Gao Jie moved with lightning speed, rushing forward and knocking the henchman unconscious.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and went to the car, carefully helping Xu Rourou out of the car.

At this moment, Xu Rourou's face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were full of confusion and pain. Her condition looked terrible.

Gao Jie asked with a concerned look, "Are you alright?"

Xu Rourou shook her head weakly; the effects of the Mongolian acupuncture made it difficult for the young girl to control the churning discomfort within her body.

Before long, her legs gave way and she fainted in Gao Jie's arms.

Gao Jie frowned, his heart filled with anxiety. He knew that this place was not safe to stay any longer and that he had to leave with his men as soon as possible.

At this moment, after a bout of dizziness, Lin Shengzu slowly woke up.

He slowly moved his neck, feeling as if something was not quite right, and his thoughts became sluggish.

But he didn't think much of it. The memory of what had just happened still lingered in his mind. He was clearly going to attack that woman and was even planning to increase her dosage. So why was that woman nowhere to be seen now?

A look of confusion appeared on his face, his eyes filled with bewilderment and unease.

When he saw that his henchmen were also lying on the ground unconscious, his doubts deepened. He really didn't know what was going on.

He braced himself with his hands on the ground, trying to get up with difficulty. Just then, he felt something shake behind him. The slight movement seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet environment.

He instinctively turned around, and what he saw was a black mamba snake flicking its tongue.

The snake's body was shiny black, its triangular head held high, and its cold eyes exuded a deadly danger.

Lin Shengzu turned deathly pale with fright and screamed in terror, "Get the hell out of my way!"

Unfortunately, the Black Mamba couldn't understand human speech at all, and it continued to slowly swim towards Lin Shengzu.

Lin Shengzu frantically retreated, and in his panic, his hand accidentally pressed the Mongolian needle that had fallen to the ground earlier.

The next moment, Lin Shengzu felt as if his hands were bound by an invisible force, becoming extremely inflexible and moving very slowly. His body also fell backward uncontrollably, landing directly under the car.

At this moment, he could only move his eyes with difficulty, and he watched helplessly as the venomous snake slowly, step by step, rushed towards him.

For a moment, Lin Shengzu's mind went blank, and his heart was filled with despair and fear.

His body was paralyzed, and he could only watch helplessly as the venomous snake drew closer and closer to him. This feeling was probably the most devastating in the world.

That is, when faced with the threat of death, one is powerless to fight back and can only helplessly watch as this terrifying baptism unfolds.

An hour later, Gao Jie finally brought Xu Rourou back to the hotel, but Xu Rourou's condition was really not good.

"I'm sorry."

Before Xu Rourou could react, Gao Jie threw her directly into the cold water. He had already checked and found that the sleeping potion would evaporate much faster in cold water.

Xu Rourou was shivering from the cold. She also had a childhood illness that caused her to constantly feel the urge to urinate in the coldest conditions.

Gao Jie never expected that Xu Rourou would have this problem.

"You always seem so fierce, I thought you were fearless and could never be defeated by anyone."

Xu Rourou shook her head desperately.

"Please help me! I really need to go to the bathroom. Just put me on the toilet, please help me, I really can't hold it in!"

Hearing this, Gao Jie had no choice but to do as Xu Rourou said.

He picked her up and put her on the toilet, but Xu Rourou was completely unable to move.

Even simple actions were impossible, a situation that was completely unexpected.

For a moment, Gao Jie didn't know what to say and awkwardly scratched his face.

"What should we do? I'll get a rope to stop you."

Xu Rourou looked embarrassed.

"I think I'm almost done..."

Gao Jie remained silent, as this was the first time he had faced something like this, and instead raised his head as high as possible. Xu Rourou also blushed with embarrassment.

"I'm fine now, put me back."

Gao Jie picked her up and immediately put her back in the bathtub. After an hour, Xu Rourou's lips were almost frozen from the cold.

Then he picked the person up and put them on the bed.

Xu Rourou's condition has improved a lot, but she still feels cold. After turning on the air conditioner, Xu Rourou simply leaned on Gao Jie's shoulder and dozed off.

Gao Jie turned on the TV and happened to hear a news broadcast interrupted the broadcast.

"This afternoon, an old man found a man's body on the beach. The deceased was about 18 years old and died from snake venom. His companion was unharmed but did not remember what happened."

Although the clothes were blurred, Gao Jie recognized them immediately as Lin Shengzu's.

He paused for a moment, while Xu Rourou remained asleep.

"Xu Rourou, are you alright?"

Gao Jie was speaking, but Xu Rourou remained silent.

Gao Jie carefully put the person down. After all, they hadn't eaten yet, so he called and ordered a meal for two. When he opened the door, the other person was still available.

A man and a woman rushed in, one holding roses and the other holding a cake, immediately staging a romantic scene.

Gao Jie was speechless and quickly tried to explain.

"I'm sorry, we're just out having fun. My friend was a bit tired earlier, so we booked a room for the time being. We're not staying together, and I'll be staying somewhere else later."

Xu Wenfeng offered a considerable sum of money, but Gao Jie wasn't about to take advantage of him. Besides, what kind of relationship was it for a man and a woman to live together?

Hearing Gao Jie say this, the two who were messing around finally stopped and reached out their hands.

"I'm sorry, this is a special service. You didn't tell us earlier, so we can only do it as you requested because you like it."

"The performance is now over. We hope you can settle the bill with us."

Gao Jie had no choice, since these two started causing trouble as soon as they came in.

But when I asked about the price, it turned out to be 1314 Alliance Coins.

"Guest, don't be in a hurry. Don't you think this amount sounds like a lifetime commitment?"

Gao Jie was speechless. He had been so stingy, yet he hadn't saved any money.

They left the meal, kicked the two people out, and paid an extra 1314 UnionCoins.

After everyone left, Xu Rourou finally woke up, but she seemed to have a fever.

Gao Jie frowned.

"Why do you have a fever all of a sudden? It must have been too cold just now, which hurt your body. This is a bit troublesome. Don't move around, let me handle it."

Hearing Gao Jie say this, Xu Rourou nodded and gently turned her body over. Gao Jie then placed a hot towel directly on her back.

Before long, Gao Jie felt much more relaxed.

Xu Rourou was gradually able to move around again.

"I'm so hungry. Please don't bother me after I eat. I want to go to sleep."

Gao Jie scratched his face.

"Then I left. The two of us weren't a good match. I was staying in the same house, so I moved somewhere else. Besides, I didn't like the scenery here."

In fact, Gao Jie didn't want to spend another penny.

After all, these things were far too extravagant for him; he had never dared to even dream of them before.

These reasons were only found out out of desperation.
