Chapter 17 The sky is getting whiter(1/2)

When Li Wujiu led his men back to the room where Shen Wanan was at the fastest speed, he smelled a strong smell of blood before entering the door. His face suddenly turned darker again. When he saw the door open, his heart was even colder, so that the speed under his feet could not help but slow down. He seemed to be reluctant to enter the room and unwilling to accept the fact that Chen Wanan had been silenced.

However, no matter how reluctant it was in my heart, no matter how slowing down, only ten steps were left, Li Wujiu still rushed to the door in a moment.

The body of a subordinate who was in charge of guarding Chen Wan'an appeared in front of him. The blood that had not yet dried up was the source of the bloody smell in his nose.

Seeing this scene, he finally threw the last bit of gratitude out of his mind, took a deep breath, prepared for the worst in his heart, and walked into the room.

In the room, the tables and chairs were sharp, and it seemed that there had been a fierce fight, which barely made a little hope rise in his heart.

However, after seeing another subordinate who was responsible for guarding Chen Wanan lying under the sharp table and chairs, unable to hear any breathing, the tiny flame of hope was instantly blown out by the ruthless reality.

Both men were killed, and there was no other movement in the room, and the result was obvious.

Li Wujiu, whose mind was blank, staggered a little, while the many subordinates following him were already shocked by the facts in front of him and could no longer care about supporting him.

Li Wujiu finally staggered and took two steps back, and finally did not fall to the ground in a mess.

However, he came back from the blank space and fell into endless regret in his heart.

Greedy and proactive!

These four words are the best words to describe his previous decisions.

The situation around was obviously not clear, and there were only so many people available around him. Under such circumstances, after hearing the news about Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan, he still had the intention to catch them and sent most of his subordinates out.

In the end, it led to a serious shortage of manpower and failed to detect the infiltrating assassin in time. When his subordinates on Shiye were alerted, they failed to make a correct judgment in time, which eventually led to being lured away from the mountain, which made the assassin find the best time to assassin.

He has an unshirkable responsibility for everything that happened tonight!

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Just as Li Wujiu fell into deep regret and self-blame, he began to think about what to do next to resolve the losses caused by this huge mistake and how to explain it to Lu Zhongxing, a whimper suddenly came to his ears, which made him shocked all over and stood on the spot.

Could it be that Chen Wanan is not dead?

Li Wujiu and his men instantly ignited endless hope, and Li Wujiu kicked the table and chairs blocking him away, heading straight to the direction where the sound came.

...

Chen Wanan naturally did not die.

Although he had been infinitely close to death, and had seen illusions and felt the signs before death, everything disappeared instantly after a flying needle was inserted into his shoulder.

However, it may be that his brain consumed too much energy due to those signs in that short moment, so when Bai Shier confronted the assassin, he couldn't help but fall into a coma.

But the fear of the threat of death still made him forcefully restore consciousness after a brief recovery. After just recovering from consciousness, he couldn't help but want to shout loudly and save himself.

However, when he wanted to shout, he realized that his mouth was blocked by a ball of rag, unable to make any cry for help, and could only make a dull whimper.

This undoubtedly made him feel more and more urgent, especially when his ostentatious feeling was approaching again, he couldn't help but want to shout loudly and struggled.

"Stamp, he's still alive!"

However, when he heard the familiar title reaching his ears, his mind finally relaxed.

He knew that Li Wujiu's many subordinates had finally returned, and he was finally safe!

After confirming this, he finally couldn't help but fall into a coma again.

The little energy recovered from his coma just now was already exhausted from his violent movements.

...

"Fortunately, he just fainted and his body should be fine."

Seeing that Chen Wanan had no movement again, Li Wujiu couldn't help but become nervous again and hurried over to investigate, and the results of the investigation made him completely relieved.

"Everyone keeps this room until dawn."

After confirming that Chen Wan'an's life was not in danger, Li Wujiu finally returned to his familiar appearance and ordered decisively.

"yes."

No one has any objection to Li Wujiu's order.

Because they knew in their hearts that even if they wanted to search for the assassin who had infiltrated, the most likely result would be to return in vain under the dark night.

Moreover, because most of the manpower has been sent out to search for the whereabouts of Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan, if they search for the assassin on a large scale, they will not only not gain anything, but may also neglect the protection of Chen Wan'an because they are too scattered and give the assassin a chance to assassin again.

It is God's blessing to be able to lose it again, so how dare they ask for a second time?

So, before dawn, just stay honestly around this room.

All the candles and lanterns that could be found in the inn were lit, and the remaining Dongchang men surrounded the room, while Li Wujiu began to carefully examine Chen Wan'an's body, worried that there would be any hidden injuries in Chen Wan'an's body.

Soon he found the flying needle that was inserted into Chen Wan'an's shoulder.

This made him, who was already very strange in his heart, even more confused.

Both of Chen Wanan's safe men who he arranged for the guards had been killed, so why did the assassin let Chen Wanan go, the assassin, go to the assassination target?

Could this flying needle be a hidden weapon shot by the killer? If so, why did the other party shoot into Chen Wanan's shoulder?

He wouldn't believe that the other party would make a mistake.

After all, he had three subordinates left behind him.

If you explain all this with a mere mistake, you will undoubtedly be sorry for the sacrifices of his three subordinates.

Immediately afterwards, when he saw the dent next to Shen Wan'an's neck that was obviously formed by a sharp weapon, his mind was even more muddy, and it was hard to figure out what had happened here before, so he couldn't help but want to wake Chen Wan'an up and ask him carefully.

Li Wujiu, who was in chaos in his mind, would not have thought that it was not one person who sneaked into the Wang Family Inn tonight, but two people.

Actually, he should have thought of it.

Because he had long guessed that the news about Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan brought back by the episode in the evening was a bait, he also used the trick, responded, and set up a trap.

In the end, it was because of a deviation and the assassin was discovered, which disrupted his plan.

So, he should have thought that it was Bai Shier who discovered the assassin and then stopped the assassin from assassin's assassin's assassin's assassin's assassin's assassin's assassin's assassin's assassin's assassin's assassin's assassin.

However, tonight, he was like being in the sea with strong winds and waves, and experienced ups and downs, and was very happy and sad. It was understandable that he could not think of it in a hurry.

However, when he truly regained his peace and could think of this, it was too late, or rather, when he ordered everyone to stay around Shen Wan'an's room tonight, it was too late, and he lost the hope of capturing the assassin and Bai Shier at the same time.

...

It was too late for Li Wujiu, but for Bai Shier, it was the right time.

Everything that happened tonight was really beyond Bai Shier's expectations. He never expected that an assassin would choose to sneak into the Wang Inn at the same time as him and had ideas about Chen Wan'an.

Although neither of his goals nor the Assassin were achieved.

He failed to find out the news about the real murderer behind Chen Wanan confessed, and the assassin could not kill Chen Wanan to silence him.

However, for the two, the consequences were completely different.

Bai Shier failed to get what he wanted from Chen Wan'an, and because he found that Li Wujiu was coming, he could only run away in a hurry and could not even ask a question. But he had a new goal, and this goal might also let him know more detailed information than Chen Wan'an.

For that assassin, the situation was obviously worsening.

Because he failed to complete the mission successfully, he killed Chen Wan'an and became Bai Shier's prey instead.

...

Although he was very tough when confronting Bai Shier before, he knew very clearly that the current situation was very unfavorable to him.

As long as Bai Shier could hold him back, he would be in danger when the Dongchang men arrived.

For a master of hidden weapons, it is obviously much easier to hold someone up.

However, the subsequent development of things is far from him.

...

After realizing the movement of Li Wujiu returning with many subordinates, he knew that staying still would be a dead end, so he broke the window and fled to his life.

He originally thought that Bai Shier would definitely use a hidden weapon to hold him back, but the fact is that Bai Shier not only did not want to hold him back, but instead followed him and left the Wang Family Inn together, and seemed to be very afraid of being discovered by those Dongchang men.

After realizing this, he was undoubtedly very excited.

Not only because he was able to escape, but also because he believed that after escaping from the Wang Family Inn, he would have the opportunity to retaliate against Bai Shier, and let the other party pay the price of his life for the actions he had just stopped him.

However, what he didn't know was that in Bai Shier's eyes, he had become the key to Bai Shier breaking the mystery and finding the real murderer behind the suicide of the Yangzhou prefect.

...

The two left the Wang Family Inn one after another, and quickly left Qinxian Town without daring to stay, for fear that the Dongchang men behind them would chase after them.

Finally, when the two ran away from Qinxian Town for about ten miles and Dongfang was already white and found that there was not even a figure behind him, the assassin in front stopped.

"You shouldn't have stopped."

Seeing the other party stopping, Bai Shier also stopped and immediately spoke before the other party, with a slight regret in his tone, as if he was feeling sorry for the other party's stopping behavior. But his tone and movement were no different from ridicule in the eyes of the other party.

"Ha, in my opinion, you shouldn't have been chasing me!"

The tall assassin couldn't help laughing as if he had heard some joke.

"I admit that your hidden weapon skills are indeed very good, but in front of my invulnerable Shan Wenjia, how much skill can your hidden weapon exert?"

He said, pulling off his Ye Xingfu, which had been cut off last night, revealing a set of exquisite and gorgeous shiny armor. However, without two arms, he looked a little weird, as if he was wearing an iron vest.

"Suffer to die!"
