" Is it…is it gone?" Yan Guo was stumped when faced with such a situation, he did not know what to do anymore. They did not have any idea about how they needed to face such a thing which was why the two brothers stayed as close as they could while holding a gun in their hands while a talisman was clutched in the other hand, they were afraid that if they were a bit lax then they will get killed without even knowing what happened.
Yan Bao did not say anything instead he continued to stare at the door while aiming his gun at the door, making sure that in case the door was broken down, he will blow the head of the freaking thing which was chasing after them.
Back in the corridor, he was just too scared to think straight but now he was a bit clear-minded that he almost went inside the mouth of death. But he stayed in the same position for a long time and nothing happened just as the two brothers were going to heave a sigh of relief, they heard the sound of the glass pane of the window rattling.
The two brothers immediately whipped around and looked at the window which was behind them, their legs started to shake while they swallowed a hard lump inside their mouths. They did not wish to see what was behind the window pane but they also could not fight the curiosity.
Yan Guo looked at the rattling window pane and was filled with regrets, if he knew that something like this was going to happen, he would have made sure that Song Yan stayed with them. But now that she was not here, they could only look at the matter which was in front of them and take it into their own hands.
" Sh..should we call Yan Yan?" Yan Bao asked as he looked at the window pane with a terrifyingly pale expression on his face as he tried to raise his hand and then aim at the window pane. " She will be able to deal with this matter quickly."
Yan Guo on the other hand shook his head and then rejected, his elder brother's suggestion after all, the Fu residence was far from the hospital and it will take a long time for Song Yan to arrive here, they needed to deal with this matter on their own!
He breathed in and out and then summoned his courage as he spoke, " I will go and see what kind of demon is standing outside, let's see if it is more strong than Yan Yan's talisman."
Yan Bao wanted to stop his younger brother but the latter shook his head and then said, " I need to do this, we cannot let it continue to rattle the window, what if it breaks?" The door had three talismans sticking to it while the window already had one maybe it was because of this the demon outside was acting a bit too daring!
They needed to add more talismans to make sure that the thing outside will not be able to enter!
When Yan Bao heard what Yan Guo said to him, he could only drop his hand and then gulp along with his brother as he too took out the talismans which were in the pockets of his pants and then went to the window together with Yan Guo.
As the two brothers walked towards the window, their eyes closed instinctively on their own. Yan Guo was the only one who was daring enough to open his eyes and when he opened his eyes, he immediately wished he could close them right away!
Because outside the window was an ugly face which was pressing itself against the glass pane while trying to break the window pane. The face was covered with black scales and its mouth was sliced from one end to another as a forked tongue which was thick and slimy poked out of its mouth, the skin which was covering the rotting flesh of the demonic face was peeling and falling off in pieces and the entire thing was so scary that made, Yan Guo almost pee into his pants.
His heart could not help but tremble when he saw that the window pane was breaking and thus, even if he was scared out of his wits, he immediately plastered the talismans which were in his hands on the glass, he even snatched the talismans which were in the hands of his brother who was petrified at the sight of the demonic face and glued them to the window pane.
When the A-grade talismans were stuck on the window pane, a purple light immediately glowed and then another shriek echoed in the empty silence of the hospital.
Once the demonic face was gone as it scuttled away after getting attacked by the talismans, the two brothers dropped to their knees while Yan Bao who had never seen something so terrifying in a single day, fainted almost at once.
" Brother!" Yan Guo screamed when he saw that his brother had fainted, Yan Gu was really terrified seeing this and the determination in his heart turned even more firm, he was going to dig into the entire Chen family's residence if he had to but he was going to put an end to it!
....
The next day a huge ruckus shook the entire military district, Yan Guo and Commissioner Lin arrived at the Chen residence and were insisting to investigate the entire Chen house which caused quite a stir in the entire district.
Old Master Chen was really protective of his reputation while Madam Chen simply refused to be treated like a criminal she stood in front of the two men and refused to let them take another step inside the house.
" You all are bullying us! My son is in the hospital and now that no one is here to protect us, you think that you can bully us old people? I will not stand up for it!" Mother Chen screamed, Song Yan was already aware of the fact that Yan Guo who was terrified out of his wits because of the incident from the last night was now determined to dig up the entire Chen family's history.
This was why she first visited Commander Chen and Chen Qing Qing in the hospital and fed them the pills to nourish their strength before she came to see the drama which was happening in front of the Chen family's residence.
Yan Guo's face was taut as she wiped the spit from her face and then glared at Old Madam Chen as she continued to scream at him before he said in a stern voice, " What do you mean by bullying you? Commander Chen was attacked so severely that it's clear that something is fishy behind this matter, we are only thinking of how to deal with it and nothing more."
" What do you mean by that something is fishy? Are you trying to say that something is wrong with my son? That he did something as terrifying as betraying the country? Are you trying to mess with my family? My son has been more loyal than anyone in this military district, how can you treat him like this?" Mother Chen was hysterical as she realised that her son was being treated like a criminal. " How can you do something like this to him? He is hurt like this and you are treating him like such!"
Old Master Chen was looking at Old Master Yan who was holding the investigation report which was approved by the higher-ups and looked at the old man with an expression which was filled with disbelief and betrayal on his face.
" Old Yan, what are you doing? You have seen my son grow up how can you even believe something as foolish as this? There is no way my son will betray the country!" Old Master Chen was really terrified that this time if he allowed this investigation to take place he will be the one whose face will be thrown to the side after all Commander Chen was his son and he was the one who raised him, in case he was proven to be a traitor then the one who will be embarrassed would be him!
" I indeed half raised him but he is not my son, Old Master Chen. I cannot guarantee that he was doing the right thing to the point where I can stand up for him, which is why I need you to stand aside and let us investigate your house thoroughly, if there is nothing wrong then, of course, the military will apologise to you but in case something is wrong then you will have to let us know what happened and how." As Old Master Yan spoke, he cut off all the reasons which would provide leeway for Old Master Chen to escape from the investigation.
He raised a brow and then said with a questioning look, " I mean there is nothing to hide right?"
