"You guys should rest now as you would have come from such a long journey." Su Song suggested.
It was true that Wang Chen and others came from a long journey and they even fought many bandits on their way so they were really exhausted.
Wang Chen and Liang Wei nodded their heads in response to Su Song 's suggestion.
Seeing the reaction of both Su Song ordered his servant to arrange two rooms for the guests. And the servant arranged it.
The servant led Wang Chen and Liang Wei to their respective rooms. The rooms were spacious and had all the necessary amenities. Wang Chen was impressed by the luxuriousness of the rooms, but he knew that he couldn't let his guard down in this situation. He inspected the room carefully and made sure that there were no hidden traps or jade listening devices.
After inspecting the room, Wang Chen sat down on the bed and closed his eyes. He needed to rest and regain his strength as he knew that the real danger was yet to come. Liang Wei, on the other hand, was pacing back and forth in his room, thinking about the plan and the risks involved. He knew that they had to be extra cautious and not let their guard down at any moment.
Meanwhile, Su Song was sitting in his study, thinking about the plan. He knew that Wang Chen and Liang Wei were no ordinary people and he had to be careful while dealing with them.
Su Song was a clever man, and he had a few tricks up his sleeve, but he knew that he had to be patient and wait for the right moment to strike. He picked up an ink pen and started writing something on a piece of paper, deep in thought.
…
It was night time and Wang Chen's eyes were still closed, but his senses were heightened, and he was aware of every movement in the room. The intruders were no match for him, as his training and the dragon blood coursing through his veins had given him incredible strength, agility, and speed.
He had already sensed their presence when they entered the room, and he waited patiently for them to make their move. He knew they were after him, and he was prepared to defend himself.
As the first attacker moved towards him with a knife, Wang Chen swiftly dodged the attack, and with lightning-fast reflexes, he sliced the attacker's throat with his blade. The blood spurted out of the wound, and the attacker collapsed on the floor, dead.
The other two attackers were caught off guard, and they were unable to react quickly enough. Wang Chen moved behind them in a blur, and he killed one of them with a single blow to the back of the neck. The last attacker managed to turn around and face him, but he was no match for Wang Chen's skills.
The intruder swung his weapon towards Wang Chen, but he easily parried the attack and disarmed him. The attacker tried to flee, but Wang Chen swiftly caught up to him and subdued him with a chokehold.
Wang Chen's heart was racing, and he could feel the adrenaline pumping through his veins. He knew that this was just the beginning of a long and dangerous journey, and he had to be ready for anything.
He stood up and checked the bodies of the attackers. He found a note on one of them, which revealed that they were hired by Su Song to kill him. This confirmed his suspicions that Su Song was not to be trusted.
…
Suddenly Wang Chen heard one more guy footsteps, "did one guy come extra?" Wang Chen muttered under his breath.
But it wasn't an assassin but Liang Wei. As soon as he entered the room he closed the door and then looked at Wang Chen with a serious expression, " Did the assassin also come to attack you?" He asked.
"Yeah, I just dealt with their body." Wang Chen spoke.
"What do you think about this situation ?" Liang Wei asked another question.
Wang Chen turned to Liang Wei and said, "The assassins are not that skilled but they entered the house easily and without any difficulty. No one knows yet about the assassin so there must be someone in this house who wanted us to be killed, and his authority in the house is probably high as this cannot be a low-ranking person's work." He paused for a moment to let his words sink in before continuing, "We have to be careful and investigate this matter thoroughly. It's important to find out who is behind this before it's too late."
"Hmm, I thought the same…" Liang Wei spoke.
Wang Chen nodded his head in agreement and replied, "Yes, that's a good idea. We need to be cautious and strategic in our actions. If there's someone in this house trying to harm us, we need to be careful and not reveal our suspicions too soon. Su Song is a wise man and he will know what to do."
Liang Wei listened to Wang Chen carefully and added, "We also need to make sure that we are not being watched or followed. It's possible that the assassins were able to enter the house because they had someone on the inside helping them. We need to be extra careful."
Wang Chen nodded again and said, "I'll make sure to keep an eye out for any suspicious activities. We cannot afford to let our guard down, not even for a moment. Our lives are at stake here."
"So what should we do now ?" Wang Chen asked.
" I think we should discuss this matter with Su Song in the morning." Liang Wei suggested.
Wang Chen's mind was racing as he weighed his options. He knew that the attack on him wasn't just a random event but a targeted one. His instincts told him that there was a larger scheme at play, and he needed more information before he could act. He also knew that he couldn't trust anyone in the Su family, not even Su Ling, as she could be easily manipulated by her father.
Wang Chen turned to Liang Wei, who was waiting patiently for his response. He knew that Liang Wei was a reliable and trustworthy ally, and he needed someone he could rely on in this dangerous situation.
"Okay, we will report this to Su Song in the morning," Wang Chen said finally. "But we have to be careful, we don't know who we can trust in this family. We need to gather more information and figure out who is behind this attack."
Liang Wei nodded in agreement,"Hmm… I will go back to my room now." Liang Wei replied and after that he opened the door and went to his room.
As Liang Wei walked towards his room, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. He had been uneasy since the moment he entered Su Song's mansion. The sudden return of Su Ling and the way her father had acted had made him suspicious. Despite his unease, he tried to brush off his suspicions and told himself that it was just his imagination.
He opened the door to his room and entered, closing it behind him. Once inside, he couldn't help but look around the room, examining every corner and trying to find anything that could confirm or dispel his suspicions. However, the room seemed to be just a regular guest room, with no signs of anything out of the ordinary. Liang Wei sighed and shook his head, deciding to dismiss his doubts and get some rest.
On the other hand, Wang Chen closed his eyes and took deep breaths, calming his mind and focusing on his inner energy. He started to channel his Qi, feeling the energy flow through his body. As he continued to meditate, he could sense his senses becoming sharper and his strength increasing. He concentrated on the flow of energy, visualizing it as a glowing light that was growing stronger with each breath.
As he continued to cultivate, he could feel the energy flowing more freely through his meridians, enhancing his body's natural healing abilities. Any fatigue he had from the long journey was slowly dissipating, and his mind became clearer as he focused on his inner power.
After some time, he opened his eyes and stretched his body. He felt rejuvenated and ready for any challenges that might come his way. He stood up from his bed and walked to the window, looking out at the night sky. The stars were twinkling in the darkness, and he took a deep breath of the fresh air, feeling a sense of peace.
"Tomorrow wouldn't be this peaceful." Wang Chen spoke as he saw the stars.
