Chapter 15: Taking advantage of your illness to kill you

The rain poured down, soaking everyone present.

The fire gradually became smaller, and before long, the fire in the factory was completely extinguished. Firefighters lowered their fire hoses and rushed into the smoldering ruins of the factory .

"Great, Mr. Shen! The fire is out."

The person in charge shouted excitedly.

Shen Rongzhao looked deeply at Li Yingzhu.

Li Yingzhu stood calmly in the rain, covering her eyebrows with one hand to prevent the rain from blurring her vision.

Shen Rongzhao took off his suit jacket, put it on Li Yingzhu's head and said, "Wait for me in the car."

Li Yingzhu got into the car as she was told, and through the car window, she saw Shen Rongzhao rushing into the factory with the person in charge.

Together with firefighters, they evacuated more than a dozen workers who were suffering from the smoke and fire.

Li Yingzhu looked at Shen Rongzhao, who was struggling to rescue the wounded in the heavy rain, and nodded in approval.

"Although he is a capitalist who exploits the people, he is still humane and not as ruthless as he appears."

More than an hour later, several ambulances finally arrived at Qihu Village.

The doctor examined the injured in the pouring rain and determined that none of the more than a dozen workers were in immediate life-threatening danger. However, some fell into a coma, and several others were obviously feeling unwell and needed to be sent to the hospital immediately for in-depth examination.

Li Yingzhu saw what Shen Rongzhao said to the person in charge. The person in charge nodded and then drove and followed the ambulance.

After that, Shen Rongzhao walked towards Li Yingzhu and got into the car soaked all over.

"Let's go to the hospital first to see how the workers are doing."

Li Yingzhu didn't care. She would follow Shen Rongzhao wherever he went. She is now equivalent to Shen Rongzhao's bodyguard and assistant. She takes other people's money and just listens to his arrangements.

Shen Rongzhao was about to start the car when his head suddenly tilted and he almost fell over.

Li Yingzhu quickly gave him a hand, "Mr. Shen, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Well, my head hurts a little."

Li Yingzhu saw that Shen Rongzhao's cheeks were a little red and the rain on his hair was still dripping down, so she put the back of her hand on his forehead.

"Mr. Shen, you have a fever."

Shen Rongzhao gradually felt dizzy and his vision became blurry. He shook his head and got up from the driver's seat, wanting to change seats with Li Yingzhu.

"You drive, we go to the hospital."

Li Yingzhu said helplessly, "Mr. Shen, I can't drive."

She usually stays in Xuanyun Temple on the mountain. Except for daily needs, she doesn't need to go out at all. Driving is too useless for her.

At this moment, the ambulance and the person in charge's car were already far away, and the sharp and urgent siren of the ambulance could only be heard in the distance. It was impossible to hitch a ride.

Shen Rongzhao squinted hard at the heavy rain outside the car window, took out his mobile phone and called the person in charge.

"I can't go there now. You go to the hospital, take care of the matter, and notify the workers' families. The medical expenses will be transferred directly from the company's account, and the people will be settled first."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Rongzhao fell weakly into his seat and closed his eyes.

"We can't go back now. We can wait until I feel better or wait until the rain stops."

Li Yingzhu followed and lay down in the passenger seat. Seeing the heavy rain washing the front windshield in front of her, she felt extremely comfortable and peaceful. This scene was somewhat similar to when she watched the rain in Xuanyun Temple.

The rain seemed to be drying up the clouds in the sky, and it didn't stop for an hour or two.

Finally, the rain gradually subsided, and Li Yingzhu's stomach made an unsatisfactory "gurgling" sound.

Shen Rongzhao opened his eyes, "Are you hungry?"

Li Yingzhu nodded, but there was no village in front of it or a shop in the back. There was not even a place to rest and stay, let alone a place to eat.

"Mr. Shen, you rest in the car while I go see if I can catch rabbits or birds."

After Li Yingzhu finished speaking, she got out of the car and went to the woods in the distance.

Shen Rongzhao wanted to tell her not to get wet in the rain, but he didn't have the strength, so he had to close his eyes and rest.

Not a few minutes later, Shen Rongzhao suddenly felt a chill, and a pair of eyes seemed to be staring at him.

He opened his eyes suddenly and saw that the old man who had pestered him last night was leaning on the car window and smiling at him. A face as pale as paper stared out with greedy and coveting ghost eyes, as if he was examining the prey he had obtained.

Shen Rongzhao immediately increased his vigilance and reached for the amulet in his pocket.

However, after being soaked by the rain, the amulet had turned into a ball of rotten paper, and the cinnabar ink stains on it had also been blurred.

The old man ghost smiled "hehe", his ghost claws penetrated the glass, and gradually approached Shen Rongzhao.

"Such a young and strong body, good looks, and good family background. Soon all of this will be mine, hehehe."

Shen Rongzhao pushed himself up and punched the old man in the face hard.

The old man couldn't believe it, and then roared manically. His eyes suddenly turned completely white, with no pupils visible, and he rushed towards Shen Rongzhao.

Shen Rongzhao dodged while paying attention to the woods.

He just wasted too much energy on rescuing the wounded. In normal times, even if he had a high fever, he would not be so embarrassed.

Shen Rongzhao was exhausted and was choked by the old man's ghost. He hit the seat twice and his head suddenly became dizzy.

The old man sneered, his eyes were sinister, and he lowered his head and tried to get into Shen Rongzhao's body.

The car door was thrown open, and Li Yingzhu burst in like a gust of wind. She grabbed the old man's ghost's neck with one hand and dragged the old man out like a chicken.

The old man's face was full of horror. He had never seen such a terrifying woman.

Seeing that Li Yingzhu's ghost-suppressing charm was about to be knocked down, the old ghost immediately begged, "Master, have mercy on me, I have never harmed anyone before, this is the first time. Let me go, I will reincarnate and be a new person, and I will never do it again." It’s hurting people.”

Li Yingzhu sneered and said, "Reincarnation? I'm afraid the underworld won't allow it, right? People like you will be thrown into the pot even if you go down there, and you still want to reincarnate? Then you can only become a beast."

The old ghost trembled all over and struggled, "Master, I was confused for a moment. Considering my age..."

"Huang Jiandong has been in juvenile detention centers many times since he was a child, stealing and molesting little girls. When he was young, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for repeatedly raping a girl from the same village. Shortly after he was released from prison, he was sentenced to 30 years in prison for robbery and rape. Imprisonment. After being released from prison for the second time, he was unrepentant and wanted to rape a young girl on the roadside. Unexpectedly, the other party was an armed policeman and was killed. He died at the age of seventy-two."

Li Yingzhu sneered and read out the old man's life and deeds word by word, tightening the strength in his hand.

"You were full of evil when you were alive, you committed so many crimes, and you still want to seize other people's bodies after death. If I believe that you are temporarily confused, I will be a stick!"

The old man and ghost were shaking like chaff, and Li Yingzhu mercilessly hit the ghost-suppressing charm on the forehead of the old man and ghost.

After a burst of shrill screams, the old man's ghost turned into black smoke and disappeared.

Li Yingzhu returned to the car and saw Shen Rongzhao's face was flushed and his eyes were blurred.

"Mr. Shen, I told you to pay attention to your health. Look how weak you are now. You were almost killed, right?"

After the beating just now, Shen Rongzhao was even more exhausted and a little confused.

He said "Thank you" to Li Yingzhu with difficulty and then passed out.
