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

As the night deepens, a new round of competition is about to begin. Everything is just beginning. New challenges

Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining returned to their hotel room and immediately began analyzing the important document. Lu Yining quickly turned on the computer and entered the file contents into the system for decryption and comparison.

"Fourth Uncle, this document mentions an organization called 'Shadow', which seems to be an important force behind Li Chengyan." Lu Yining said, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

Sheng Nanting nodded: "We have heard of the Shadow Organization for a long time. They are said to be very mysterious and powerful. We must proceed with caution."

Just then, there was a rapid knock on the door. The two exchanged glances and then prepared to respond.

"Who?" Sheng Nanting asked vigilantly.

A familiar voice came from the other side of the door: "It's me, waiter Xiaolin. There is something I need to tell you."

Sheng Nanting breathed a sigh of relief, but remained alert: "Come in."

Xiaolin pushed open the door and walked in anxiously. "Just now, a guest was at the front desk asking about your whereabouts and wanted to talk to you. I saw that he looked unfriendly, so I came to give you a heads up."

Lu Yining stood up and looked at Xiaolin with concern: "Thank you, Xiaolin. We will be careful."

Xiao Lin nodded. "You guys help us a lot, and we're very grateful. I hope you're all safe."

Sheng Nanting patted Xiao Lin's shoulder: "We will be careful, you go back and rest first."

After Xiaolin left, Lu Yining sat back in front of the computer, frowning: "It seems that the other party has noticed something. We must speed up the progress."

Sheng Nanting took a deep breath and began to plan his next move: "Yining, we need to find the core members of the Shadow Organization as soon as possible. According to the clues in the file, one of their bases is in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. We will set out early tomorrow morning to see if we can find more clues."

Lu Yining nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will prepare all the necessary equipment. We need to rest well tonight and recharge our energy."

The next morning, Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining got up early, changed into casual clothes, packed their gear, and drove to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. Along the way, they tried to avoid surveillance cameras and inaccessible places.

On the way

The atmosphere in the car was extremely tense. Sheng Nanting gripped the steering wheel tightly, while Lu Yining carefully studied the map and documents in the passenger seat.

"Fourth Uncle, I think our action this time should be more covert. The people from the Shadow Organization may have been prepared." Lu Yining said worriedly.

Sheng Nanting nodded and said, "You are right. We will try to keep a low profile. However, we must also be prepared for battle, just in case."

The car drove into a deserted industrial area. There was silence all around, broken only by the occasional birds flying by. The two got out of the car cautiously and looked around.

"This place looks like a good place to hide something that's not meant to be seen in public." Sheng Nanting whispered.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise coming from the bushes not far away. Lu Yining immediately became alert and quickly took out his pistol, ready to deal with any emergency.

"Someone is there!" Lu Yining said softly.

Sheng Nanting nodded, signaling her not to act rashly. The two slowly approached the bushes and found a homeless man in ragged clothes. Upon seeing them, a flash of fear flashed in the homeless man's eyes.

"Hey, man, what are you doing here?" Sheng Nanting asked gently, trying to ease the other person's tension.

The homeless man replied tremblingly, "I...I'm just passing by and want to find something to eat. What are you two doing here, brothers?"

Lu Yining handed the homeless man some bread and water: "We are here to investigate. Have you seen anything unusual happening in this place recently?"

The homeless man took the food and nodded gratefully. "Thank you. Things have been a bit strange these past few days. There are a few strangers who keep coming in and out of that abandoned factory. They don't look like good people."

Sheng Nanting's heart tightened: "Can you take us to see it?"

The homeless man hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed. Led by him, the three of them arrived at the abandoned factory. The factory gates were closed, but faint conversations could be heard coming from inside.

"Fourth Uncle, what should we do?" Lu Yining asked in a low voice.

"We have to find a way to go in and take a look. Maybe we can find important clues." Sheng Nanting responded in a low voice.

At this moment, several men in black came out of the factory, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes. When they saw them, the people immediately became alert.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" one of them stepped forward and asked.

Sheng Nanting calmly replied, "We are just passing by and wanted to come and see this place. This is public land, you can't just chase people away."

The man sneered: "Humph, you'd better leave quickly, this is not a place for you."

Lu Yining stepped forward and said, "We're just here to take a look. Why are you so nervous? Is there something in there that you can't see?"

The man's face darkened, and he seemed to be irritated: "If you don't leave, don't blame us for being rude!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining both clenched their weapons, ready to deal with any possible conflict at any time.

Thrilling confrontation

Suddenly, there was a commotion inside the factory, and several members of the Shadow Organization rushed out with guns and surrounded them.

"Catch them!" shouted the leading man.

Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining reacted quickly and worked in perfect harmony, dodging each other's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

The homeless man was so frightened by the sudden scene that he froze and dared not move.

"Fourth Uncle, run over there!" Lu Yining pointed to a narrow alley and shouted.

The two fought and retreated, successfully hiding in an alley. The members of the Shadow Organization followed closely behind, chasing them.

"Damn, why are these people so difficult to deal with!" Sheng Nanting said gritting his teeth.

Lu Yining said calmly: "Fourth Uncle, we must find their weakness as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in more and more danger if we continue like this."

At this moment, several onlookers saw this scene and started talking about it.

"Oh my, what's going on? Why is there a gunfight?" an old lady said in surprise.

"Oh my God, those two young men are so brave!" exclaimed a young man.

"Who are they? They seem to be on some mission." A middle-aged man asked puzzledly.

Passersby stopped to watch, but did not dare to get close for fear of being caught up in the chaos.

End of conversation

After a fierce confrontation, Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining finally escaped the pursuit of the Shadow Organization and temporarily hid in a hidden corner to catch their breath.
