Chapter 1551: The Assassin in Black (3)
Xiaobai, though released, remained silent, resting by Yang Ruxin’s legs with closed eyes, rejuvenating. Xiaohei lay quietly by Xiaobai’s side.
However, all of a sudden, Xiaobai opened its eyes and lifted its head.
Yang Ruxin’s eyes also snapped open. Amidst the rain and wind outside, other noises were distinct. In such heavy rain, while tracks might be covered, methods of killing were restricted. Fire attacks were impossible, and poisonous fumes would be ineffective when met with water; therefore, the enemy would have to resort to direct murder.
Soon, intruders broke through doors and windows, and some even lifted roof tiles to leap down from above.
Yang Ruxin could tell that these people weren’t from outside but had come from the main house. Thus, the ambush had been laid there early on.
But who could have calculated that she would stop here and had ambushed this place in advance?
However, now wasn’t the time to consider this; capturing someone for interrogation would reveal the answer.
Du Man and Du Juan instantly engaged the attackers.
With only a few intruders at the start, Du Juan and Du Man were handling them with ease, quickly taking down two. But as the number of black-clad attackers grew, the two of them were overwhelmed. Of course, Xiaobai and Xiaohei would not stand idly by.
For Xiaohei, being inside restricted its movements—it couldn’t fly. But as a Hai Dongqing, even grounded, it could still kill with wings flapping and beak pecking.
And there was no need to mention Xiaobai, whose keen sense of smell meant it wouldn’t bite the wrong target, even in the dark—one bite, one down.
The women were terrified but refrained from screaming or panicking, as they had been cautioned beforehand. They hid behind the Gao family’s father and son, understanding that in the darkness, erratic movement could lead to accidental harm. Nobody was foolish.
