"He came to the banquet and played around." He said incredulously, "he knocked down the best, concentrated eight treasures soup." Just thinking of this made a painful expression appear on Wu Zemin's face. That soup was not cheap.
"He saved our child. I had them feed that soup to pregnant animals and they had a miscarriage. All of them, that soup had something in it and if Tianer hadn't knocked it down."
Lin Qing shuddered as she thought of what could have happened. Beside her Wu Zemin was shocked, a scary look rose on his face, he seemed to think of something and then calmly looked at her and asked "are you sure?"
"I checked the maid who served me the soup, she doesn't work here. They don't know how she got in."
Wu Zemin still had a calm look on his face but it was so calm that it gave even Lin Qing a fright, she knew that the Wu Zemin who was like this was the most dangerous.
"I was wondering why my dear brother chose to come himself, so he came to deliver such a gift. What a good Wu Zenlin.
All right, good, good, very good .Qing Hu." Wu Zemin quickly called for Qing Hu to mobilize his men. This time they had gone too far, coming to his turf and poisoning his wife, did they think of him as a sick cat?.
Meanwhile on Wu Zenlin's side. The maid that the entire county lord manor was digging three feet to look for was here.
She had come to report to him that the mission had failed. She was a professional and a soon as she had noticed Ling Qing was on to her, she had immediately made a move and hightailed it out of there.
"what, that bastard did what?" of course as expected Wu Zenlin was livid. That bastard child had ruined his good thing. And the so called professional was not any better.
Once Wu Zemin was suspicious and noticed that the maid was missing it would be weird if he didn't come for him. Wu Zemin's county army wasn't a decoration.
Thinking this, he immediately decided to also make a move and make himself scarce. But before he left he didn't forget to talk to a figure beside him. This matter was too important "Don't let me down, and make sure you finish off that little bastard too"
When Wu Zemin arrived at the manor, practically smoking with righteous anger, all he found was an empty building devoid of any living beings.
Wu Zenlin was already miles away. It was like a closed fist punching soft cotton and Wu Zemin had to scream out to vent this uncomfortable feeling. He vowed he would make Wu Zenlin pay when he caught him. To that effect he hastened to plan his trip to the prefecture capital.
Having decided on the next step he waved his hand and led his men back to the county mansion. He found his wife waiting patiently for him.
"He escaped, he must have known we are on to him." He told her as he wearily sat down. Lin Qing as a caring wife went behind him and carefully messaged him.
This caused Wu Zemin to sigh gratefully as the stress and tension left him. He then seemed to remember something as he asked his wife "how did Tianer know that the soup was poisoned?"
Lin Qing seemed to be at a loss on how to explain. "You know Tianer has always been a special child. He said that he sensed that something was wrong with the maid and the soup."
"True. Tianer has always been rather special and sensible. We should give him a reward." Wu Zemin said after thinking for some time. His wife seemed to agree with him and they decided to do it the next morning.
When Wu Tian woke up the next morning, He was surprised to hear that his parents wanted to give him a gift. "You did good Tianer," Wu Zemin said as he patted his son's head.
Wu Tian was baffled, it was rare for his father to praise him so conscientiously.
"You saved your mom and your future brother or sister. I am going somewhere and once I come back I'll get you a nice gift all right?"
Wu Tian nodded obediently, his little face lighting up with joy. He was happy that his father had praised him and was looking forward to the gift. He then proceeded to follow and watch as the household made preparations for Wu Zemin's journey to the prefecture capital.
Since Wu Zemin was in a hurry to find and beat the living daylights out of Wu Zetian he hurried the preparations and by midday Wu Tian and his mother watched as Wu Zemin's entourage departed.
As they departed from the compound no one noticed an inconspicuous thin man in the crowd spectating nearby. As he also saw Wu Zemin's departure, a cold light flashed in his eyes and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
Wu Tian watched as his father left, he was sad to see him leave and looked forward to the day he could ride with his father. He felt someone place a hand on his head and looked up to see his mom stroke his head with a smile.
"Your father will be back in no time. You'll see." She told him as she stroked his head once more and left to attend her duties. Wu Tian decided to go to the library and read a little. He had always liked it.
It was soon night and the Wu household was asleep. Wu Tian was asleep in his room, enjoying his peaceful rest when suddenly the slumbering uneasy feeling suddenly rose up with alarming intensity.
He immediately woke up with a start and immediately knew with startling clarity that he and his family were in deep danger. He instantly got up and rushed to his mother's quarters.
From the tingly feeling he felt whatever or whoever it was that caused it had entered their compound and was making their way towards this room.
As he shook her and called her, Lin Qing was startled awake and was surprised to see Wu Tian with a panicked expression. "Tianer, what is it, did you have a nightmare?"
Wu Tian quickly shook his head, "Mother, something bad is coming, I felt it again. Just like that time with the soup but worse."
Lin Qing's face turned unprecedentedly serious. She didn't doubt him this time and immediately woke up. Her mind working fast, it seemed that their enemies had decided to simply get rid of her for once and for all. In that case it was possible that they had sent an innate expert.
Wu Tian felt the tingly feeling intensify as the danger got closer, "it's getting closer." Lin Qing immediately took his hand and left toward the front.
In the dim and silent household their hastened footsteps sounded unnervingly loud. Lin Qing was tempted to call for the guards but knew that if her conjecture was correct and their enemy was an innate expert their death would be assured before the guards got there. Although she had a way out if the expert caught up to them it would bring even more problems.
A few moments after they left a swift shadow quietly approached the room. It was uncanny how a person could be so fast and silently, the shadow then approached the bed ready to deal a swift blow and retreat.
However it was taken aback to find there was no one there. The killer panicked, he had scouted out the house and knew that this was supposed to be Lin Qing's room. He couldn't mess up, the guard was only lax today since Wu Zemin had left. Once the guards got used to patrolling he would have a hard time sneaking in again. He whirled around searching frantically around the room, and it was this hesitation and lack of professionality that sealed his fate.
