After getting off work, Wang Dong dragged the extremely depressed Shen Lian into a bar, drinking beer while listening to his complaints. Unknowingly, it was already 12 o'clock in the evening.

Since they still had to work the next day, the two of them left the bar in a daze.

Walking onto the street, Wang Dong hailed a taxi and went straight home. The distance between here and Shen Lian's place, was not too far away, and he was feeling very gloomy, thus he walked down the street alone, all the way to the house he rented.

The city that Shen Lian worked in was the largest city in China, Binhai City. In this big international city, where every inch of land was worth every penny, the rent was very expensive.

Therefore, Shen Lian had no choice but to rent a common room in the old city district, located in a remote area between the urban and the rural areas. It also required 1500 yuan per month to rent.

Because of Shen Lian's salary and bonus, his monthly salary was only around 5000 RMB. Other than the monthly rent and expenses for food and clothing, he was living a tight life.

Fortunately, Wang Dong was aware of Shen Lian's situation, so he often dragged him out to act natural and unrestrained.

In fact, was the one who rushed to pay the bill … Shen Lian naturally knew of Wang Dong's actions, hence he kept it in his heart, hoping that one day, he would have the chance to achieve great things and repay Fatty.

While he was lost in his thoughts, Shen Lian arrived at his residence — Soo Shui Street.

This Xiushui Street was an old district that was about to be demolished. On both sides of the street, there were broken old houses scattered randomly, just like a group of old men who had run out of oil and were late at night. There were also some weak street lamps that emitted a faint yellow light, causing the street to appear even more desolate and dilapidated.

The other buildings in the neighborhood had been destroyed by the demolition of the city. Since the new urban renewal project had not yet begun, the place was overgrown, dark, and lonely.

Occasionally, the chirping of insects and the unscrupulous cries of wild cats would be heard, and the atmosphere was quite scary.

Not long after, an old one-story building appeared in front of them. It was an old house from the old city district of the previous century, and it seemed to be quite old.

Speaking of this old house, the landlord had moved to the new city district. Other than Shen Lian, there were no other tenants here.

Walking to the door, Shen Lian took out his key and was about to open the door … But at this time, he discovered that the door was actually ajar, and with a push of his hand, it opened. "Eh?" Did I forget to close the door when I went to work today? "

Just as he was about to close the door, he suddenly heard a burst of footsteps coming from the street outside.

After that, they were mixed in with a hubbub of shouts and curses … Shen Lian quickly stuck his head out the door and looked outside. Under the cover of the night, he saw a group of ferocious looking men running along the street, holding a variety of weapons in their hands. They were swearing and running along the street.

One had to know that the Xiushui Street area was very chaotic due to its location in the urban and rural area. From time to time, people from various underground powers would come here to "play".

From the looks of the situation, it was clear that these hooligans were about to stage a brawl on the streets!

Immediately, Shen Lian retracted her head and closed the door. It was better to not look at this situation, as safety was the priority.

Once the door was shut, Shen Lian turned around and walked across the small courtyard towards the room that he was in … Just as he walked to the door, Shen Lian suddenly smelled a faint scent of blood. Immediately, from the side of the room, a shadow flashed and appeared right in front of him.

Before Shen Lian could react, he felt his neck being gripped tightly by an ice-cold palm. He only felt his breath catch in his throat before his entire body was pressed against the door by a huge force. " "Ugh …" "Ugh …"

Shen Lian was so scared that he wanted to scream, but his neck was tightly gripped and he could only let out a low whimper.

At this moment, a few long strands of hair fell in front of Shen Lian's eyes. In the blink of an eye, Shen Lian felt his scalp tingling as a chill ran out from his bones and spread throughout his entire body, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

Subconsciously, he thought he met a female ghost. Because the hand that was grabbing his neck was very cold and powerful, he was unable to break free.

Thinking of this, Shen Lian's body trembled uncontrollably …
