Chapter 229 — Knocked Out Cold
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
But Zou Ruoming said nothing. None of this was what he *** about. Whether Brother Black Panther had fled yet was no concern of his; what concerned him was whether Tang Yun had been captured.
"Brother Black Panther, hello. I'm Zou Ruoming!" Zou Ruoming scurried up to Brother Black Panther and said respectfully.
"You know me?" A flicker of menace crossed Black Panther's eyes.
"I'm a good brother of Young Master Zhong, so of course I've seen Brother Black Panther!" Zou Ruoming's heart tightened. "Brother Black Panther, what I'm doing today is against the law. You'll have to keep watch for me..."
"Mm..." Only at these words did Black Panther's expression soften somewhat.
Zou Ruoming also let out a long breath. Black Panther was an escaped man, and he had recognized him. What if Black Panther did not trust him and silenced him for good? But Zou Ruoming was no fool either — he had quickly made clear that what he was doing today was also illegal. So they were six of one and half a dozen of the other; if either reported the other, the other would not get off easy either.
"Brother Black Panther, what about that Tang Yun..." Seeing that Brother Black Panther was not going to bring the matter up again, Zou Ruoming's thoughts turned back to Tang Yun. In truth, whether Brother Black Panther fled, or where he fled to, had nothing to do with Zou Ruoming, and he had no wish to meddle in such rotten business.
"She's unconscious. The drug's already been fed to her. She's in that van." Black Panther pointed at a white, unlicensed old-model Nissan van not far behind him. The van was getting on in years — at least twenty years old. "Shall I carry her up for you?"
"Then I'll trouble Brother Black Panther!" Zou Ruoming, his legs weak and unsteady from excessive indulgence, did not dare carry a person up an unfinished building with no stair railings — what if he fell and died?
Black Panther dumped Tang Yun casually in an empty room, then turned and went downstairs.
"Damn it all, this dump doesn't even have electricity — can't see a thing in the dark!" Zou Ruoming groped his way upstairs, sat down on a broken step, took a small pill bottle from his pocket, tipped out a pill, and swallowed it.
Perhaps feeling one was not enough, Zou Ruoming thought for a moment and tipped out another, swallowing that too.
This was a top-grade potent drug imported from ***. They said one pill could keep a man going three hundred rounds; even the male actors in those little films took this stuff. Zou Ruoming had a shameful problem no one knew about: he could not get it up. In his youth he had indulged too much, and now his body could not keep up, so every time he had to rely on potent drugs to boost his performance.
And the drugs he used grew stronger and stronger; the ordinary ones no longer had any effect.
This time he had taken two, so he figured he could last an hour or two. Heh heh... Zou Ruoming laughed lewdly. Tang Yun, ah Tang Yun, in a moment your brother will take good care of you! Let you taste what I'm made of!
After taking the pills, Zou Ruoming sat on the step waiting for them to take effect. He was in no hurry to go see Tang Yun; she had been knocked out anyway and would not wake for a while.
"Wei Zhao, Brother Black Panther is waiting for you up ahead. Do you dare get out of the car? Your wife Tang Yun is up in that unfinished building. Heh heh, if you're late, I'm afraid Zou Ruoming will have..." Zhong Yongliang parked the car beside the unfinished building and pointed at the white van not far ahead. But before he could finish, Wei Zhao's fist came down with a "bang" and knocked him out cold.
