Zuan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that another unlucky guy had been exposed. I knew it. "The Mirror Is Not a Platform" was still reliable.
But why does that figure look so familiar?
Just as the man was fleeing at top speed, a shrill whistling sound suddenly rang out, and a teacup lid spun rapidly as it shot out of the room.
Its speed is so fast that it is almost impossible to see its trajectory.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the teacup lid struck the dark figure directly in the back.
With a soft cry, the dark figure plummeted from mid-air.
Zu An's expression changed. The voice was even more familiar, and the impressive chest that even her night clothes couldn't conceal showed that she was someone he knew.
Just then, a sinister voice rang out from inside the room: "Da Bao, I'm leaving the things outside to you."
"Yes, Godfather, please rest well. Your son will definitely capture that assassin and let Godfather deal with him!" It must be Wei Dabao from the Wei family of Mingyue City.
Immediately afterwards, I heard footsteps rushing out.
Zuan, on high alert, carefully slipped away from the corner.
The sinister guy inside just now seriously injured that person from such a distance with just a teacup lid. How terrifying is this guy? If he dares to make a sound, he's probably doomed.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief after completely leaving the courtyard, and then hurried off in a certain direction.
A beautiful figure staggered as she ran through the middle of the artificial hill. She had just managed to escape from a group of guards, but unfortunately, she was already at her last gasp.
That mysterious man's attack almost shattered all her Yuan energy. Even so, she was seriously injured and probably won't be able to escape today.
Just then, she felt her hand being grabbed. Startled, she was about to turn around and attack when she saw an unexpected face.
Zuan said, "Come with me!"
The woman before me was masked, but her familiar eyes and the heaving bosom of her breasts betrayed her.
Who else could it be but Da Manman!
There was no time to ask why the other person was there, because a guard appeared not far away, and he grabbed the other person and ran.
Pei Mianman recognized him and stopped resisting, following him as they fled through the night.
He was not familiar with the Wei family either, and he sensed that there were Wei family guards everywhere. Even the head of the Wei family personally led people to chase after them, so he had no choice but to take Pei Mianman back to his room.
Before long, the door was violently kicked open from the outside, and a group of people carrying torches and swords barged in.
The leader was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Wei Hongde, so he must be Wei Dabao from the Wei family.
"Brother Wei, what is this..." Zu An had already taken off his clothes and was in the bathtub, looking at Wei Hongde on the other side with a "surprised" expression.
Wei Hongde said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother Zu, there was an assassin in our house. We were worried that the assassin would disturb you, so we came to check on things."
"Who dares to cause trouble at the Wei family's residence?" Zu An sneered inwardly. It was obvious that he suspected an assassin was on the side; otherwise, why would he have broken through the door latch and barged in?
"I don't know, I only know it's a woman," Wei Hongde said, while introducing her to others, "This is my father, and this is Zu'an. He brought his younger brother back today."
Wei Dabao nodded: "The Chu family's son-in-law is indeed a handsome man."
Zu An hurriedly said, "Greetings, Uncle. However, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to get up and perform the proper greetings in my current state. I hope you won't mind."
Wei Hongde, who was standing nearby, hurriedly said, "No need to get up, no need to get up."
He didn't want to relive the scene he witnessed in the secret realm last time.
Damn it, I just remembered!
Wei Dabao also came over and said, "Oh, you're too kind. Our Suo'er has been taken care of by you a lot at school. We should find an opportunity to thank you properly."
As he spoke, he looked around and finally came to the bathtub, peering inside.
However, to his surprise, there was a large patch of petals on the water's surface, making it impossible to see what was inside.
This didn't stump him. He quietly extended his aura into the water and, finding no one inside, nodded to himself: "Alright, you should rest well. We still need to search for the assassin in other places."
As if unaware of what had happened, Zu'an smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Gentlemen, no need to see me off."
As the group went out, the servants tactfully closed the door for him.
After leaving the house, Wei Hongde asked, "Father, did you find anything?"
Wei Dabao shook his head: "There's no one else inside. I must be overthinking it."
“The assassin was a woman, so she really shouldn’t have anything to do with him,” Wei Hongde echoed.
"Search elsewhere. I refuse to believe a seriously wounded female assassin could have escaped anywhere." Wei Dabao snorted and led his men to continue the search.
After confirming they had left, Zu An hurriedly helped Pei Mianman up from the bathtub: "How are you?"
Seeing that she was in a semi-conscious state, he quickly pressed on her chest and squeezed her.
"Cough cough~" Pei Mianman spat out a few mouthfuls of water and finally woke up.
Zuan smiled slightly: "If you don't wake up soon, I'll have to do CPR."
Pei Mianman gave him a weak glare: "You're always so frivolous."
She leaned against the edge of the bathtub and looked out: "By the way, how did you manage to fool them just now? With the cultivation level of the Wei family patriarch, he wouldn't have failed to detect someone in the water."
"I don't know. Maybe he felt inferior when he saw my strong pectoral muscles, and his mind was in a daze, so he didn't have time to check carefully." Zu An laughed. Actually, he used the Blue Duck's water control ability to shield his Qi and Lingjue, but it was difficult to explain such a thing to her.
