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

The abandoned dock gradually returned to calm under the night sky, but the fierce confrontation just now was still fresh in people's memory. Several passers-by were still discussing it.

"Who is that guy in black? Why is he so powerful?" A middle-aged man asked his companion next to him in a low voice.

"Looking at him, he's definitely not an ordinary person," another young man said excitedly. "I guess he might be an agent or a police officer. Otherwise, how could he take on so many enemies?"

A young woman joined in the discussion: "Did you see that girl? Her movements are so smooth and neat. She's so cool!"

"I heard that she and that uncle acted together. I wonder if they are partners." An aunt said curiously.

As passersby were discussing this, Ye Ying quietly returned to the dock, ready to continue disguising his identity. Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining had already left, but their actions left a deep impression on these ordinary people.

Lurking and waiting

After returning to the hotel, Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining quickly sorted out the information and formulated a detailed action plan. The intelligence provided by Ye Ying allowed them to more accurately locate Li Chengyan's location.

"We can't be careless at all. The terrain here is complex and we need to be extra careful." Sheng Nanting said to Lu Yining.

"I've already found a detailed map of the warehouse and the surrounding transportation routes." Lu Yining handed him a printed document, "This way we can better avoid the enemy's sight."

Suddenly, there were light footsteps outside the door again. The two immediately became alert and quickly hid by the window to observe. Through the curtains, they could see two suspicious people walking back and forth in the corridor.

"It seems we are being targeted again." Sheng Nanting said softly.

"What should we do?" Lu Yining asked in a low voice.

"Leave quietly while they're not paying attention." Sheng Nanting made a quick decision. "Get ready. When they let down their guard, we'll act."

After a few minutes of patient waiting, the watchers finally relaxed and started talking. Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining took advantage of this opportunity to quickly and quietly leave the room and go downstairs along the safe passage.

A night shift waiter happened to pass by and was a little surprised to see them in such a hurry: "Guests, are you going out so late?"

"There's something urgent that needs to be dealt with. Thank you for your concern." Sheng Nanting nodded with a smile, and quickly pulled Lu Yining out of the hotel.

The waiter watched them leave, his mind filled with confusion: "What on earth are these people doing? They're still moving so late at night. They look very unusual."

The dark side of the warehouse

Sheng Nanting drove Lu Yining towards the North District. Along the way, the streetlights were dim and traffic was sparse, as if the entire city was asleep. After driving for a while, the car finally arrived at the target warehouse.

This old warehouse is located in a deserted industrial area, surrounded by dilapidated factories. Lu Yining looked at the scene in front of him and whispered, "This is a perfect place to hide. Almost no one will notice this place."

"That's true. That's why we need to be extra careful." Sheng Nanting turned off the car lights, got out and checked the surroundings.

The two walked down a muddy path toward the warehouse and discovered that it had multiple entrances. To reduce the risk of being discovered, they decided to enter through the back door. Carefully opening the door, they entered the warehouse.

The warehouse was dark and damp, with a musty smell in the air. The two men crept along the wall, trying to find some clues. Suddenly, a whisper caught their attention.

"Fourth Uncle, listen, someone is talking over there!" Lu Yining reminded softly.

Sheng Nanting nodded, motioning her to follow him. They quietly approached the source of the sound and, through a half-open door, saw several men in black discussing something in a small room.

"This mission is extremely critical and there must be no mistakes," said a man who looked like a leader.

"Understood, Boss." The others responded in unison.

Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining exchanged glances, confirming that this was the target they were looking for. At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and several unidentified people appeared at the door and shouted, "Who's in there?"

Instantly, fighting broke out. Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining drew their weapons and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire. The surrounding workers, frightened by the sudden gunfight, fled in all directions.

"What on earth is going on? Why is someone shooting here?" an old worker said in horror.

"Run, it's too dangerous!" Another young worker hurriedly pulled his colleague out.

During the melee, Lu Yining noticed a man in black trying to escape. She decisively fired, hitting his thigh, and the man fell to the ground. Sheng Nanting quickly stepped forward to restrain the injured man in black: "Tell me, where is Li Chengyan?"

The man in black groaned in pain: "He is in workshop number three..." and then fainted.

Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining looked at each other and immediately walked towards workshop No. 3.

Final Showdown

Entering Workshop No. 3, the lights were brightly on. Li Chengyan stood in the center, looking at them with a sneer: "You are finally here."

"Your conspiracy ends here." Sheng Nanting said firmly.

"Really?" Li Chengyan waved his hand, and more men in black rushed out and surrounded the two men.

The workers watching exclaimed in amazement when they saw this.

"Oh my God, this scene is comparable to the big scenes in the movie!" a young man exclaimed.

"These two guys are so brave that they can fight against so many people!" said another middle-aged worker admiringly.

The melee broke out again, and Sheng Nanting and Lu Yining fought hard. At this time, a familiar figure appeared - Ye Ying walked out from the darkness and handed Lu Yining a pistol.

"I'll help too." Yeying said briefly.

The three of them joined forces and finally gained the upper hand. In the end, Li Chengyan was subdued by a series of precise blows.

"It's over." Sheng Nanting said breathlessly.

"You are really strong and trustworthy." Ye Ying smiled slightly.

Lu Yining looked at Sheng Nanting: "Fourth Uncle, we succeeded."

"This is just the beginning." Sheng Nanting's eyes were firm. "There are more challenges waiting for us."

As the night deepens, a new journey is about to begin. The road ahead is still full of unknowns and suspense.

"Fourth Uncle, what should we do next?" Lu Yining asked.

"Ye Ying, can you continue to help us?" Sheng Nanting looked at Ye Ying.

Ye Ying nodded: "As long as it is for justice, I am willing to assist to the end."

The three nodded to each other, and their backs gradually disappeared into the night. The future battle would be more intense, but their steps would never stop.

"Will they continue to protect this city?" a bystander muttered to himself.
