069, there's even better to come (third watch)

Ye Jiuliang couldn't care less to elaborate and threw the dagger onto the table.

"Thud—"

In the bright light, the cobra impaled by the dagger was covered with bloodstains, leaving everyone agape and rooted to the spot.

Aren swallowed hard, realizing that things were getting serious.

He looked up at Ye Jiuliang, the chill in the young girl's eyes piercing him to the bone, "Miss Jiuliang, what is this...?"

"Tap tap tap—"

Multiple sets of footsteps intermingled, chaotic and rushed.

The Ye Family's patriarch and his group hurried down from upstairs; everyone was dressed in pajamas, seemingly disturbed by the loud noise and rushing out to check what had happened.

Aren turned to his bodyguards and said, "You go down first."

"Yes."

The bodyguards exited in an orderly fashion, coming and going in a hurry.

"What's going on here?" The Ye Family's patriarch drew his coat around him and said with a stern face as he surveyed the mess all over the floor.
