"Wanwan, you've really hurt me so much! You don't even believe me!"
Upon hearing Lin Wanyue's doubts, Laifu immediately shouted, "I've been following you since the very beginning, Brother Gui! How can you not believe me... Humph, it's really upsetting. No matter how useless I am, I can still tell the difference between a human and a ghost!"
Lin Wanyue: "?"
Hearing his complaints, I became somewhat more sober.
This was the first time she'd ever encountered a male ghost who was jealous, and it was quite a challenge. Feeling a chill run down her spine, she quickly said, "No, I was just a little confused from sleeping. I thought I misheard. I would never doubt you!"
"You're much more capable than other ghosts. If you hadn't protected me so many times, I wouldn't be alive and well, right?"
Lai Fu was slightly satisfied after being praised by Lin Wanyue, so he reached out his hand to her and said, "Since I'm so good, do you have any good candies that I haven't tried yet? I think a good rascal like me should eat the sweetest candies, don't you think?"
Lin Wanyue: "..."
Looking into Laifu's big, dark eyes, it was impossible to say anything in response.
But Laifu has been with her for so long, what candy hasn't he tried?
Lin Wanyue pondered for a while and then rummaged through the villa to find some relatively new candied hawthorns.
Aside from not having the hawthorn candied hawthorn flavor, the variety is quite extensive, including pineapple candied hawthorn, cucumber candied hawthorn, apple candied hawthorn, spicy strip candied hawthorn, braised chicken feet candied hawthorn, and so on.
"Wow!" Laifu's mouth watered as he saw so many new things he'd never tried before, all coated in sweet candy. He exclaimed excitedly, "Wanwan, can I have all of these candies?"
"Hmm." Lin Wanyue nodded, then looked towards the courtyard outside, hinting, "What about those sneaky people you mentioned...?"
"Don't worry, Wanwan, this is such a small matter, why bother you? I'll take care of them all in a bit, they won't even need to lift a finger! Just wait here, I'll be right back."
Lai Fu wiped the drool from his mouth, ran out and greeted Xiao Fen Die and Hu Jiu Yuan, telling them not to make any rash moves and to leave this group to him.
Then he went straight to the back of the group of men in black, his face contorted, and deliberately made a strange laugh.
These men in black were all highly trained. After confirming that there was no one else around, they took further action and swiftly took out their specially made dragon claws.
They swung the Dragon Claw Hand around a few times to gain leverage, then threw it onto the wall and quickly climbed up. The whole process was clean and efficient.
"These guys don't even take me seriously? Well, then watch what I do!" Lai Fu spat twice into his hands, and a thick, almost solidified black mist enveloped his hands. He then swiftly swept it over all of them.
These people were still on the top of the wall and hadn't gone down yet, so he managed to grab their legs.
These people are all mortals, without the help of the spiritual incense, and they cannot see Lai Fu causing trouble.
Noticing that no one was looking over, one of the leaders gave a signal, and the group of men in black took down the dragon claw hand that was still hanging on the wall, placed it in the opposite direction, and prepared to go down the wall so they could enter.
But no one knows what happened. The leader simply picked up the Dragon Claw Hand, then lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. However, he was well-trained and had a strong will, so he gritted his teeth and didn't cry out in pain.
"Oh……"
"hiss--"
But then there was a 'crack' sound, and the tooth he was biting broke!
The leader of the men in black had bloody teeth in his mouth, and his expression alone was enough to make one want to vomit, as if he were experiencing the pain firsthand.
The other men in black still on the wall wanted to help him, and one of them simply jumped down from the wall.
As a result, the others on the wall heard an even crisper 'snap' sound.
This time it was the sound of bones breaking.
It's still the thigh bone!
"ah--"
The shattered bones pierced into the flesh, and a large gushing of blood spurted out. The men in black clinging to the wall felt a warm sensation on their faces, and the familiar smell of blood lingered around their noses.
The person could no longer bear the pain and let out a scream.
But the moment his voice escaped his throat, the leader beside him choked him with a claw, and the rest of the sound was drowned out by the 'pfft' sound of blood gushing from his veins.
"This kid is too heartless! He didn't even save his own companion, and he even slit his throat with one claw. He's inhuman! He's more shameless than us ghosts!" Lai Fu rubbed his arm and spat on the man a few more times indignantly.
The other men in black, unsure whether they were mute or not, had no choice but to slowly climb down the wall under the watchful gaze of the leader.
Unfortunately, no matter how careful they were, they still encountered numerous problems.
Some people twisted their ankles upon landing, while others had their soles pierced by sharp nails on the ground as they jumped. Some were even more unlucky, hitting their heads directly against the wall and bleeding profusely.
There were only five or six men in black who came in total, and now it can almost be said that they were all wiped out.
One of Xie family servants on patrol was so sleepy late at night that he could barely keep his eyes open. He yawned and secretly took a couple of sips of wine, which made him feel the urge to urinate.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he tucked the gong he was using under one arm, and with the other hand lifted his robe, preparing to relieve himself.
When he looked up, he saw something shiny in the bushes where he had prepared to undisturbed. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a long knife!
The strong smell of blood nearby finally caught his attention.
"Oh no! Oh no! An assassin! Someone has broken into the manor! Oh no! Oh no! Something's happened!" The patrolling servant could only shout in panic, which startled the black-clad men who had just failed in their mission. They were preparing to find a way to kill the servant.
Unexpectedly, the gong and drum that the servant had been holding under his arm fell to the ground with a loud bang.
This was naturally Lai Fu's doing.
The servant finally remembered that he could use this to wake up everyone in the mansion, so he quickly grabbed a stick and banged it loudly on the gong and drum, shouting, "Assassins! Assassins are coming!"
Although Xie Heng was a person of high rank and great power, his household was not qualified to be equipped with guards.
Although it was late, Qi Sichen had not yet gone to sleep and was still processing the official documents and letters sent from the capital.
The guards outside him heard the shouts, informed him, and then rushed to arrest the person.
