139: Chapter 139 The Underworld Boss's Benefactor 5

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The convoy came to a halt in front of a dilapidated building, and the others were left behind to keep watch.

Leng Yan followed closely behind Wang Tong and the other two, stepped into this abandoned building, and then continued down the stairs.

Along the way, wherever the eye landed, the surrounding walls were mottled and peeling, still bearing bloodstains and scratch marks.

Dim light filtered in through several broken windows, making the entire bottom of the building appear exceptionally eerie and oppressive.

Before long, an incredibly sturdy iron door came into view. Wang Tong hurriedly walked to the door and knocked on it forcefully.

"Young Master Lu, are you all okay? I've brought people to rescue you."

The basement had originally been extremely quiet, so such a loud noise naturally woke the people inside immediately. Their faces were instantly filled with the excitement and joy of a narrow escape.

"Someone has come to rescue us."

"Wake up quickly, we can go home."

The basement instantly became noisy, with exclamations and chatter rising one after another.

Faced with the rescue, Lu Zhan did not speak. He merely opened his eyes slightly, his expression extremely calm, and sat leaning back in a very casual posture, appearing completely indifferent.

Even though he was in such a filthy place, and his clothes were tattered, it seemed unable to conceal the extraordinary Aura radiating from him.

Wang Xiao's face was filled with unconcealable excitement. He rushed over, used force to open the iron door, and then complained to Wang Tong, who was standing in front of the door.

"Wang Tong, you've finally arrived. If you had been a few days later, we probably would have starved to death, and you could have just collected our corpses."

Before Wang Tong could respond, he was pushed aside by Leng Yan. Then, with a gaze as sharp as lightning, Leng Yan swept a glance at Wang Xiao and asked urgently.

"How is Young Master Lu?"

Wang Xiao naturally recognized Leng Yan, but he also knew that Young Master Lu had long since broken ties with this person, and it was the kind of state where they would not see each other even in death.

Thinking of the rescue Wang Tong mentioned earlier, could it be this Leng Yan? Wouldn't Young Master Lu be in danger then?

"Um... Young Master Lu is..."

Seeing Wang Xiao stuttering, Leng Yan thought something had happened to Lu Zhan, so he directly raised his hand, pushed the person aside forcefully, and walked quickly inside.

Inside the basement, at a glance, the ground was covered in dust and trash, with a few spider webs in the corners. On one side of a hidden corner, unknown objects were piled up, emitting waves of nauseating odors.

The once arrogant and precious Young Master now had a slightly pale complexion, sitting disheveled against the wall.

Beside him were his former playmates, all of them sallow-faced, thin, and covered in grime.

Leng Yan's heart was filled with complex emotions. He felt fortunate to have found the Young Master, yet heartbroken for the suffering the Young Master had endured, while simultaneously, inevitably, a hint of selfishness and baseness welled up.

Such a Young Master made him feel as if he were within reach!

"Young Master!"

Leng Yan's voice carried trembling and excitement, and he immediately walked quickly towards Lu Zhan.

From the moment he saw the other person, Lu Zhan's eyes had been full of shock. Upon hearing the other's address, a complex expression appeared on his face again.

Leng Yan completely disregarded the filth on the ground, kneeling half-way at Lu Zhan's feet, and then raised his hand to gently hold Lu Zhan's right hand, which was resting on his knee.

"Young Master, I'm sorry, I'm late."

The few people nearby looked over in surprise. Seeing Leng Yan's actions, they felt confused. If they remembered correctly, hadn't these two become enemies long ago?

Wang Tong and the other two, who entered right after, instantly realized something: Young Master Lu would likely be under Leng Yan's control in the future.

After their experiences during this time and their contact with Leng Yan, they were clear enough that it was no longer before the apocalypse.

The current world Law is that the weak are prey to the strong, and strength is respected; former status and position have all turned into nothingness.

Therefore, at this moment, the three of them dared not say anything. They even tacitly held back Wang Xiao, who wanted to walk over, and signaled the others with their eyes to ignore everything and just pretend they didn't see it.

Although those people were full of doubts, they ultimately didn't make a sound; they all withdrew their gazes and remained quiet!

And Lu Zhan, looking at Leng Yan in front of him, felt a mix of emotions in that instant that he couldn't even describe.

He did not know what the other party's purpose was for coming here. Was he here sincerely to save him? Or to see him make a fool of himself? Or perhaps to toy with and take revenge on him? He had no way of knowing.

Therefore, he feigned indifference, deliberately holding onto a high-and-mighty posture, trying his best to maintain the decency and dignity of a noble family's Young Master.

He increased the strength in his right hand, attempting to break free, but unexpectedly, the other party held on even tighter.

Lu Zhan had no choice but to give up for the moment. With a hint of his past arrogance on his face, he said coldly with an aggressive Aura.

"What are you here for? If I recall correctly, I've already told you before that I don't want to see you again. I feel dirty just looking at you. Or are you just fond of being cheap? Do you like rushing to lose face?"

As soon as these words fell, the expressions of Wang Tong and the other two changed drastically; they were truly breaking into a cold sweat for Young Master Lu.

As for the other people in the basement, they had not yet truly witnessed the cruelty of the outside world, and their mindset remained in the time before the apocalypse.

Furthermore, they didn't understand Leng Yan's current status and position, so they actually thought Young Master Lu's words were normal and didn't think there was anything improper about them.

Leng Yan's expression instantly became extremely ugly, his eyes carrying a hint of pain, faintly flashing with a cold light as if he wanted to devour someone.

His Young Master always spoke in a way that stabbed directly into the deepest part of his heart, causing him unbearable pain, yet he couldn't bear to hurt the other party in the slightest.

After calming down a little, Leng Yan's mouth slightly curled up. A smile appeared on his cold face, and he said in a softened tone.

"Young Master, I just like you, feel heartbroken for you, and worry about you. You cannot keep hurting me like this again and again. My heart is not made of steel; it also hurts, and it also bleeds."

Wang Tong and the other two instantly showed an 'as expected' expression.

Wang Xiao and the others were full of shock, with expressions as if they had been struck by lightning. This extremely sincere confession made this group of playboy Young Masters truly feel their teeth ache.

They couldn't help but think, weren't they supposed to have fallen out and become enemies? Then what is this? Could it be that these two are following a 'love-hate' script?

Without the worry of life, these gossiping hearts began to become active, and everyone looked at Lu Zhan and Leng Yan with curiosity in their eyes.

Lu Zhan noticed their gazes, turned his head with a cold face to stare at them, his brows faintly carrying anger. It was as if he was trying to cover something up, or perhaps venting his anger, and he said in an icy tone.

"What are you looking at? Do you not want your eyeballs anymore? Get out, all of you."

Lu Zhan's former prestige still remained, and the few people instantly felt a bit fearful, shaking their heads like rattles.

Wang Tong and the other two also hurriedly withdrew their gazes, then walked quickly to the side of those few people, and then, either supporting them or carrying them on their backs, led them out of the basement.
