Chapter 284: Action
So much so that Su Yujin was willing to make a bowl of egg drop soup to fill her stomach despite being exhausted.
Everyone suddenly lost interest and no longer had the urge to pick up their chopsticks. They were just looking forward to the egg drop soup that Su Yujin would prepare later.
After Su Yujin had been in the kitchen for a quarter of an hour, she called Rong Liang and Xing An over and brought out the big pot of egg drop soup. The short man served everyone a full bowl.
It is extremely light, with a layer of light yellow egg drop soup floating on top, mixed with a few slices of green onion and coriander, which makes the color combination look excellent.
Waves of aroma wafted out of the bowl and went straight into the nostrils, especially the few drops of sesame oil garnished on the egg drop soup, which particularly stimulated the sense of smell and made people unable to help but sniff their noses again and again.
When all the egg drop soups were distributed to everyone, and the Third Prince and He Yanxiu had full bowls, Su Yujin picked up her own bowl and urged, "Drink it while it's hot."
Everyone, including the Third Prince and He Yanxiu, was already starving. The aroma of the egg drop soup aroused the gluttony in their stomachs and they couldn't wait to bring the bowl to their mouths.
Fragrant, tender, fresh... and with a hint of sweetness.
In short, it tastes good! Everyone held the bowl and drank it in big gulps. Someone paused for a moment, looking at the egg drop soup in the bowl, a little hesitant, "Did you notice that this egg drop soup is a bit bitter?"
"I didn't taste the bitterness, but I did feel a bit spicy. Maybe it's because of the pepper in it?"
"I feel a little numb after drinking it..."
“Although the taste is a bit complicated, it is still very delicious.”
"Miss Su doesn't show off her cooking skills easily. It's good enough to be able to drink it. Don't be picky. Hurry up and show your support. Then Miss Su will have the energy to cook more food in the future."
“Well said!”
“…”
With this in mind, everyone drank up the egg drop soup in their bowls before going to eat the various meals prepared by the inn.
It was just that because of the egg drop soup, everyone felt that the food tasted bland and tasted bland, so even though they were a little hungry, they didn't eat too much.
After dinner and cleaning up, only the guards on duty remained, while the others went to rest.
The moon fell down little by little, and even though there were some twinkling stars, the whole earth was still plunged into darkness.
In the quiet inn where even the autumn insects had stopped chirping, a slight creaking sound suddenly came from.
It is the sound of people walking gently on the stairs.
Then, there were whispered words, "Are they all down?"
The shopkeeper who had been smiling before no longer had a smiling face, but was now full of viciousness.
The waiter nodded repeatedly. "They all fell down. Although the knockout drug took longer to work, it's still very strong. I just checked and the night watchmen on the corridor were all sleeping like dead pigs. There was no sound at all."
"Be quick in your actions later." The shopkeeper ordered, "Remember, the Third Prince's arms and legs have been broken, and He Yanxiu must kill him. As for that lovely girl..."
"Why not present it to the higher-ups?" the cook suggested. "I saw that the Third Prince and He Yanxiu were very polite to her, and they probably had some thoughts on her. If we present it to the higher-ups, he will definitely be happy."
The most despairing and helpless thing in this world is to watch your loved ones die tragically.
The most desperate and helpless thing is to become disabled and have no hope of revenge.
The most despairing and helpless thing is that after becoming like this, he has to watch helplessly as the hated superior takes possession of the woman he cares about...
Killing someone is like stabbing a person's heart with the cruelest knife. Only when it is stabbed into the most painful part of the heart can one feel the satisfaction.
"That's a good idea." The shop owner smiled sinisterly and waved to everyone except the waiter and the cook.
The masked men in black behind him quickly went upstairs, opened the doors, and walked quickly to the bed.
The first one was He Yanxiu's room. Under the faint starlight, they saw He Yanxiu lying with his back to them and sleeping soundly. Then several people held steel knives in their hands and chopped at He Yanxiu hard.
Just as the steel knife was about to fall on He Yanxiu, he suddenly opened his eyes, lifted the quilt on his body and threw it at the men in black.
The men in black were startled, but when they threw away the blanket covering them, they saw the sword in He Yanxiu's hand approaching them...
The same scene occurred in the Third Prince's room.
However, the ones fighting at this time were not the Third Prince, but the guards who had been lying in ambush in the house.
On Su Yujin's side, Shi Ding and Du Song were also fighting fiercely with several men in black.
The men in black were very skilled, but He Yanxiu and his companions were slightly better. Especially since they were well prepared, they quickly repelled those people and closed the door, not letting any of them escape.
Most of the men in black were killed by He Yanxiu and his companions. Only the shop owner and the waiter were seriously injured and fell to the ground.
After lighting candles, oil lamps, and all the lanterns in the store, the inn suddenly became as bright as day. The guards took the two men to the lobby on the first floor, where they were interrogated by the Third Prince and He Yanxiu.
"Your shady shop is really shady." The Third Prince sneered, "Tell me, who sent you here?"
"That's ridiculous." The shopkeeper said with disdain, "Since it's a black shop, it belongs to us. Who needs to send us here?"
"It seems like you don't want to tell the truth anymore?" He Yanxiu said in a deep voice, "The original owner of this inn was surnamed Gu, and he has been running the inn here for many years, but a few days ago, you suddenly took over, and you even told others that Gu had an emergency at home, so you sold the inn to you."
"Black shops are usually set up in remote places on the road, so that they can rob people passing by and dispose of the bodies conveniently. This is the first time I've seen a black shop opened in a town and watched by so many eyes."
"After knocking someone unconscious, they didn't try to steal their property, but instead wanted to kill them first. This is the first time I've heard of such a black shop that only wants lives and not money."
"You want to take our lives, but you also want to pretend that we were killed by robbers. You have a very good plan." The Third Prince snorted again, "If you tell the truth now, you two can still save your lives. If you don't tell the truth..."
"So what?" The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and glanced at the Third Prince and He Yanxiu, still looking nonchalant. "Do you really think that we can be controlled so easily by you?"
So what he meant was that this was a trap?
The Third Prince and He Yanxiu were both already on edge, and their nerves tensed up.
The guards hurriedly surrounded the Third Prince, He Yanxiu and Su Yujin to protect them.
"Get started!"
