I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"I have my own way." Sheng Nanting's tone was firm, but his eyes revealed a subtle worry. He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then looked out the window, as if thinking about a countermeasure.

At this moment, Xu Shengli's voice broke the silence: "Nan Ting, this matter is indeed very complicated, and we can't let Mu Ze get hurt. Do you have any plans?"

Sheng Nanting turned his head, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on Xu Shengli. "I have arranged for people to investigate, but we need to remain calm and not act rashly."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Xu Shengli nodded, and Zhang Xiumin also breathed a sigh of relief.

The food started arriving, but no one had any appetite. Then, a waiter walked in with soup and stumbled, nearly spilling it. The waiter quickly apologized, but the scene unexpectedly diverted everyone's attention.

"It's okay, you can go out first." Xu Shengli said tolerantly.

The waiter nodded gratefully and hurried away. At the table, several people continued to eat reluctantly, but everyone was worried.

Suddenly, Sheng Nanting's phone vibrated. He picked up the phone, his eyes becoming more serious. After glancing at the text message, he slowly put the phone down and looked at Lu Yining.

"We found some clues, we may have to take action tonight." Sheng Nanting said briefly.

Lu Yining's expression changed, and she nodded nervously. She knew that tonight was destined to be a restless night.

"Then what should we do?" Xu Shengli asked with concern.

Sheng Nanting's eyes flashed with determination. "We will split into two groups. One group will stay here to deal with the aftermath, and the other group will go to rescue people. I will lead the team myself."

The atmosphere at the table suddenly became tense, and everyone was praying in their hearts that everything could be resolved smoothly. At this moment, all the focus was on Sheng Nanting, hoping that he could lead them out of the predicament.

At this moment, the waiter came in again and asked softly, "Everyone, do you need anything else?"

"No, thank you." Xu Shengli responded politely, but his eyes were still on Sheng Nanting.

"Then it's decided," Sheng Nanting stood up with a firm look in his eyes, "See you tonight."

"Okay, be careful about everything." Zhang Xiumin warned worriedly.

Sheng Nanting nodded and turned to leave. Lu Yining looked at his back, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. She knew that everything tonight would be a huge test, and she could only pray that everything would go smoothly.

"Fourth Uncle, you must come back safely." Lu Yining whispered softly, and at this moment, the atmosphere in the entire restaurant seemed to become even heavier.

"Let's go, go back and get ready." Xu Shengli stood up and signaled everyone to get up and leave.

As they left, the hotel waiters began to whisper again.

"What do you think will happen tonight?" a waiter asked curiously.

"I don't know, but it's definitely going to be a big show," another waiter whispered.

On the street not far away, a black sedan slowly started up. Inside, Sheng Nanting's eyes were determined, as if he was ready for anything. Up ahead, a thrilling rescue operation was about to begin. Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining returned to their respective rooms to prepare, while the hotel staff continued to chatter.

"I heard that Mr. Sheng is a very powerful person. Will he have any amazing performance this time?" a waiter asked in a low voice.

"Of course. Just look at his appearance and you'll know he's not an ordinary person," another waiter answered confidently.

Meanwhile, Sheng Nanting was quickly packing his equipment in the room. Lu Yining knocked on the door and walked in after getting permission, holding a black tool bag in his hand.

"Fourth Uncle, this is all the equipment we can get." She handed it to Sheng Nanting.

Sheng Nanting took the tool kit, examined it, and nodded in satisfaction. "You did a good job. Remember, be careful when operating at night and protect yourself."

Lu Yining smiled slightly, "I will, Fourth Uncle."

They walked out of the room and reunited with Xu Shengli and Zhang Xiumin. Xu Shengli's eyes were a little uneasy, but he still said firmly, "Nanting, be cautious in everything. Safety first."

"Understood." Sheng Nanting nodded, his eyes firm. "Zhang Xiumin, Xu Shengli, you stay here to handle the follow-up matters. Lu Yining and I will go rescue them."

Before everyone parted, Zhang Xiumin held Lu Yining's hand tightly and said, "Be sure to come back safely." Lu Yining nodded slightly, feeling the concern and worry of his elders.

The group arrived at the parking lot. Sheng Nanting opened the door of a black car and said to Lu Yining in the passenger seat, "Are you ready?"

Lu Yining took a deep breath and looked at Sheng Nanting with a firm gaze, "I'm ready."

The car started and disappeared into the night. The hotel security guard watched them leave, feeling a little sad.

"Mr. Sheng is really admirable. He can remain so calm at a time like this," said a security guard.

"Yeah, I don't know what kind of danger they will encounter this time." Another security guard responded.

The car was driving on the city road at night, and the atmosphere inside was tense. Lu Yining turned on the navigation and gave directions. "According to the intelligence, Mu Ze is being held in an abandoned warehouse in the north of the city."

"The terrain there is complex and it is easy for people to hide. We must be extra careful." Sheng Nanting said in a deep voice.

Just then, Sheng Nanting's phone rang with a text message. He quickly picked up the phone and checked the content. "Someone provided a clue, saying that a group of suspicious people, about a dozen people, were seen entering the warehouse."

Lu Yining's eyes tightened, "This means we don't have much time."

They arrived near the warehouse, turned off the engine, and got out. Sheng Nanting took some equipment from the trunk and distributed it to Lu Yining. The two put on tactical vests and helmets, each holding a tactical flashlight.

In the darkness, Sheng Nanting gestured for Lu Yining to follow him. The two approached the warehouse cautiously, the surroundings so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Just as they were about to approach the warehouse entrance, they suddenly heard an argument inside. "Boss, this guy really won't give in at all. What should we do?"

"Give him another chance. If he still doesn't listen to us, then..." A vicious voice came from inside.

Sheng Nanting exchanged a quick glance, signaling Lu Yining to prepare for the assault. They slowly sneaked into the warehouse and found several guards surrounding Mu Ze in the middle. Mu Ze's face was haggard, but his eyes were still firm.

"Go away quickly and don't follow me anymore. You will be in trouble too." Mu Ze said in a low voice.

One of the guards kicked him hard and said, "Shut up! Wait until I get tired of you."
