Chapter 315 - 315 One Can’t Help Oneself in the Underworld



Lin Ran glanced at Sun Ge and saw that he was almost done talking to his subordinates. Lin Ran lowered his voice and said, “Get it done first. I’ll explain later!”

Huo Qiyun was about to say something when Lin Ran suddenly frowned and said unhappily, “What’s wrong with you? How can you lose such an important thing? Why don’t you lose yourself?”

Huo Qiyun was stunned by the scolding. Before he could react, he heard Sun Ge ask from behind, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“Nothing. He just lost something.”

Lin Ran smiled at Sun Ge, then looked at Huo Qiyun with a straight face. “Go back and look for it now. If you can’t find it, don’t ever come back.”

At this moment, Huo Qiyun finally realized that Lin Ran was finding an excuse for him to leave. He replied respectfully, “Yes.” Then, he turned around and left quickly.

Seeing this, Sun Ge frowned and looked at Lin Ran. “What did you lose? I can ask my brothers in the government office to help find it.”

“I appreciate your kindness, but he was the one who lost this thing. Let him find it himself.”

Lin Ran waved his hand in all seriousness. Without waiting for Sun Ge to speak, he continued, “Let’s talk business first.”

Upon hearing that they were going to talk business, Sun Ge’s expression became serious. He raised his hand and said softly, “Please follow me.”

After saying that, Sun Ge walked to the front and led the way. Lin Ran looked in the direction where Huo Qiyun had left and said something silently. Then, he quickly followed.

Not long after, Lin Ran was brought to a small house.

This was the guardhouse that the bailiffs usually rested in. It was not big, but it was in a remote location. Moreover, it was a small independent house surrounded by trees. If anyone approached, they would make a sound. At the very least, they did not have to worry about walls having ears.

As soon as Lin Ran entered, he found a chair and sat down. Before Sun Ge could speak, he said, “Tell me about your situation first.”

Sun Ge was stunned. “Don’t you already know?”

“I thought you were a smart person. I didn’t expect you to be a fool!”

Lin Ran pulled a long face and said arrogantly, “Think about it. Why should I help you? Of course, the Ye family is one reason, but if this is the only reason, will I have to take such a huge risk?”

“Therefore, I’ll give you a chance to prove yourself. As long as you tell me the truth, we can cooperate. However, if you dare to hide anything, I won’t give you another chance!”

“I see!”

Sun Ge quickly cupped his hands and apologized. “I’m really sorry. I was rude just now!”

“It’s fine.”

Lin Ran waved his hand. “Let’s begin!”

“Ok.”

Sun Ge nodded but didn’t say anything, as if he didn’t know where to start. After a few minutes, he said, “We have to start from 300 years ago…”

“Wait a minute!”

Lin Ran raised his hand and interrupted him. He frowned and asked suspiciously, “How old are you this year?”

“Forty-two.”

“Then why are you talking about 300 years ago?”

Lin Ran was caught between laughter and tears. “I’m asking about your situation, but the history.”

“But you should know that if you want me to make it clear, I have to start with the construction of the Iron City…”

Sun Ge thought for a moment and added, “But you must know why the Iron City was built anyway, so I’d better talk about myself.”

Lin Ran nodded in agreement, but he suddenly felt a little regretful, because he really didn’t know why the Iron City was built. Besides, he had a vague feeling that the “reason” was probably the key to the Iron City being called a “prison”!

However, Lin Ran couldn’t go back on his word. Otherwise, he would be exposed.

“I was born in the Iron City. I didn’t notice anything strange until I was 20 years old. It wasn’t until I entered the government office that I found out that the Iron City is actually a huge prison. All the citizens, including us, are prisoners in this prison!”

“Although the citizens can enter and leave at will, they have to return to the city within seven days. Otherwise, no matter what the reason is, they will be hunted down.”

“People who didn’t return would die strangely outside the city. The explanation for their deaths was that they accidentally encountered an accident when they went out to search for materials to forge a saber…”

At this point, Sun Ge subconsciously looked at his hand. “In the past 20 years, I’ve killed at least 80 to 100 people, but I still have to pretend to be sad when facing their family. Do you know how that feels?”

Sun Ge looked at Lin Ran intently. Lin Ran could tell that there was anger, sadness, frustration… and so on in his eyes.

“…I can understand how you feel.”

Lin Ran replied guiltily. After all, he really didn’t understand, but fortunately, Sun Ge didn’t seem to care.

After a pause, Sun Ge continued, “Chen Tianqi was my childhood playmate. Back then, we entered the government office together and were assigned to the same team, so among these people, we have the best relationship… Why are you looking at me like that?”

Lin Ran, who was frowning slightly and looking puzzled, was shocked when he heard this. He quickly adjusted his expression and said vaguely, “Nothing. I just remembered something else. Continue.”

Sun Ge stared at Lin Ran suspiciously for a while, but he didn’t continue asking. He pursed his lips and said, “After we hunted down Ye Jin’s mother, we saw Ye Jin crying her eyes out, so from then on, we decided to change everything!”

When Lin Ran heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that Ye Jin’s mother had passed away when she was very young, but he didn’t expect it was done by Sun Ge.

No wonder Sun Ge was too ashamed to face his shifu, Ye Shixiao, even if he was just following the order.

After figuring this out, Lin Ran’s impression of Sun Ge changed, but this change was difficult to describe in words.

Lin Ran took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality. He continued to pretend to be calm and asked, “Then what did you do after that?”
