However, according to her knowledge, the chefs brought out this time, the time they’ve spent in Jin Qinwang Manor were all at least three years and above and have always been perfectly fine. It can be seen just how deeply they were hidden, and perhaps, as hidden pawns, they didn’t do anything at all on normal days, just leaving them for that crucial moment. Just, they have already left, and the amount of people weren’t in the minority, did no one seriously suspect anything? Also, the people that didn’t leave together with them, will they just be buried in this sea of fire like this? Jing Wan couldn’t help but clench her fist, her complexion very unsightly.
Li Hong Yuan, as if knowing her thoughts, “There are our body doubles inside the villa. These people all aren’t lacking in abilities. Because of having long prepared for this, this is nothing more than a play using their schemes against them. As for the others, know you’re softhearted, unable to bear seeing innocent people die, so already let them all return to their respective residences. You can tell just by looking, right now, it’s still far from spreading to them. As for afterwards, don’t worry, someone will come back to be that good person, and unless too unlucky, otherwise no one will die.”
Jing Wan relaxed a breath, her tense body gradually relaxing. Turning sideways, she hugged Li Hong Yuan, “Ah Yuan, thank you.” Jing Wan was very clear, because of her, this man spent even more energy and effort, doing many things that he originally wouldn’t have done. Jing Wan was very happy, not just because he did these for her, but also because regardless of the reason, he at least was no longer that cold-hearted and callous. She ultimately didn’t want him to create too many karmic consequences. However, “You are still the most important. Other people or matters, when not in conflict with you, doing a bit of something in passing is fine, but if they are in your way, or even become a threat to you, you don’t need to bother. Irrelevant people getting implicated and having something bad happen to them because of us, I perhaps will feel unwell, but if something happens you, I perhaps will be in so much pain that I wish for death.”
Towards Jing Wan’s increasingly blunt words of love, Li Hong Yuan naturally enjoyed, “Don’t worry Wan Wan, I understand the severity.”
“En.”
And precisely at this time, an unforeseen event occurred in the villa. The people that were originally supposed to be ‘dead asleep’ seemingly woke up. In an instant, the entire villa just started to boil, not just having people shouting to put out the fire, but further shouting to kill. The blazing fire contrasting the chaotic silhouettes, accompanied by “Wangye and wangfei are still inside, quick………..” Although not particularly clear, but strangely for some reason, Jing Wan just had words similar to this heard clearly, her heart trembling along with. Afterwards, Jing Wan seemingly even heard Yu Zhong Qing’s voice, “Ah Yuan, Sir Yu……….”
“Can’t have everyone all be a body double, else easy for a crack to appear. Moreover, he’s upset inside, so need to vent a little.”
Having read everything regarding Inspector General Su, Jing Wan naturally knew the reason why Yu Zhong Qing was upset, and thus remained silent.
“These people of the other party’s, are they Kaiming Fu’s army? A certain few really just this daringly moved?”
“Most likely, but this amount, at most a hundred people. After this incident, regardless whether dead or alive, these people’s identity will probably be bandits, or even more likely, the previous dynasty’s surviving members, deeply hating the imperial court, and with such an ostentatious qinwang coming to Kaiming Fu, the other party long snuck into the city, looking for an opportunity for a night attack.”
(T/N: Sometimes I feel bad for the previous dynasty’s surviving members, they shoulder the blame for almost everything.)
“This excuse perhaps far-fetched, but things have already come this far, so regardless of whether they participated or not, for the sake of self-preservation, they will certainly work as one from top to bottom, having this excuse solidified, then afterwards, beg his Majesty for forgiveness. His Majesty perhaps will be furious, but can’t possibly have them all chopped, especially since you are still perfectly alive. Rather a good plan, just these people will end up throwing in their lives for nothing, and their family perhaps won’t even obtain the slightest bit of good.” There were always those few that won’t have other people’s lives taken seriously.
“Regardless of whether it’s the mastermind or the participants, this matter, don’t even think about escaping unscathed. Nothing may happen on the surface, but behind their backs, I will certainly make them live worst than death.”
Towards Li Hong Yuan’s ruthlessness at this moment, Jing Wan didn’t have the slightest change in expression.
The residences in the surrounding, because of this clamor, also lit up one after another, and this place where Jing Wan and them were at, also perfunctorily lit the lanterns, but just like the other residences, all didn’t come out.
Jing Wan probably can understand their way of thinking. They all know what kind of people were living here, so even if realizing that something might have happened, they still won’t get involved, so as to avoid inviting trouble.
“The ‘rescue team’ has come.” Li Hong Yuan indifferently spoke.
Jing Wan who was absentmindedly gazing at the flames, upon hearing this, returned to her sense, afterwards also discovering the disturbance. On the other side of the residence, a squadron of at least five hundred people rushed over on horseback holding torches in hand. Just when Jing Wan was guessing who brought them, Li Hong Yuan, like as if performing a trick, had a telescope handed to her.
Jing Wan paused for a moment before taking it. Actually, she very much wanted to say: ‘Honey, you are practically just a treasure chest.’
Jing Wan held up the telescope, carefully looking, finding that relatively special position among the troops. Appearing to be a refined man, an entirely anxious look, riding on horseback, on the verge of collapse, yet still shouting nonstop: “Quick, quick, quick…….” If not Inspector General Su, then who else? And around him, there were also a few others, although not wearing official attire, should be military officials without a doubt.
“Ah Yuan long knew he would come?” Judging from Li Hong Yuan’s certain attitude previously, how could Jing Wan still not know.
“Since this person has guesses towards me, then he certainly won’t rashly take risks, and further won’t ‘merge into the filth’ with the others. This kind of person, if not a hundred percent certain, then he definitely won’t let himself be involved within. And if he does something, it’ll still be done cleanly. Towards borrowing a knife to kill, drawing the disaster water eastward, it’s practically just an easy drive on a familiar path. Not only so, such a good opportunity to take credit for a meritorious deed, he naturally won’t let go of.”
“In this world, is there anything else scarier than this kind of person?” Jing Wan softly muttered.
“Of course there is, your husband, I. Didn’t you see, no matter what he does, it’s still your husband that’s more victorious?” Li Hong Yuan said with a smile.
“This face of yours, practically thicker than the city walls. What does one time count as, you need to be able to beat and suppress him every time, letting him continuously be sullen, all the way until the end, where no matter how unwilling, he still won’t be able to turn around. By that time, it won’t be too late to say this line again.” Jing Wan unhesitantly retorted.
“Then, Wan Wan should just wait and see.”
At the villa, because Inspector General Su rushed over with people, the originally chaotic scene was very quickly contained. Don’t know as to due to what purpose, when these people faced the attacking men in black, there weren’t the slightest sentiments to speak of, directly killing without hesitation. That bloody scene projected into Jing Wan’s eyes frame by frame. Jing Wan’s complexion turned pale, her two hands trembling. Li Hong Yuan rather wanted to take away the telescope in her hand, but she stubbornly continued watching. Li Hong Yuan at this time didn’t understand too well what she was thinking, but he didn’t insist on obstructing her either.
And among them, there was that one scene. Jing Wan although couldn’t hear, but for the most part, she was able to guess, the ‘reinforcement solider’ being acquainted with the ‘bandit’, even the kind that were good brothers……….
