Chapter 281 Nighttime Assault
Ye Shaohong had been waiting ever since Li Yunlong sent back the message.
We are waiting for the old lady from the Sun family to come to our door.
He waited from noon until nightfall, but the old lady of the Sun family did not send anyone over.
This situation is very strange.
It was so strange that even Ye Shaohong was at a loss as to where to start, yet he was unable to take any action.
no way.
Although most of the remaining members of the Sun family are women, their influence is considerable. They control an area of about 20 to 30 miles around.
Even inside the mansion, there were more than a dozen armed guards. With the departure of Zhou Haichao and Li Yunlong, Zhuang Yifan was now the only person Ye Shaohong could rely on.
Zhuang Yifan is skilled, but how can he fight against more than a dozen armed guards by himself?
Are we relying on those hidden people on the periphery?
By the time they hear the gunshots and rush over, Ye Shaohong, Yu Manli, and Zhuang Yifan's bodies will probably be cold.
"trouble!"
"If this were in Nanjing, on our Special Service Department's territory, I would have taken action long ago."
"Why are we so timid and hesitant!"
Ye Shaohong shook his head. Seeing that it was getting late and no one was knocking on the door, Ye Shaohong simply climbed into bed.
Holding Yu Manli's soft body in his arms, he slowly fell asleep.
It was midnight. A faint sound suddenly reached Ye Shaohong's ears.
He opened his eyes and was about to sit up when Yu Manli suddenly raised her hand and covered his mouth.
"Shh!"
"Don't make a sound, someone's outside!"
As he heard soft words, a gleaming dagger came into Ye Shaohong's view.
He looked up and saw Yu Manli crouching on the bed, holding a dagger and watching the door warily.
Its fierce and ready appearance was just like that of a mother leopard protecting her cubs.
Then Ye Shaohong laughed.
That's right.
Even in such a perilous situation, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Manli, put your hand down." "I'm fine!"
Ye Shaohong gently pressed down on Yu Manli's palm, then reached towards the pillow on the bed and found a dagger and a Browning M1910 pistol in his hand.
"These people are quite bold."
"They just pretended to be thugs and assassinated Sun Yihai during the day, and then they came to attack me at night."
"It seems that the eldest madam has quite a bit of influence hidden in the Sun family."
At this moment, Ye Shaohong finally understood why Sun Yihui had died silently in the Seventh Concubine's room, and why, after her own son's tragic death, the old lady of the Sun family could still suppress her grief and allow the eldest mistress to continue living in the Sun family mansion.
Because the old lady had realized long ago that there were forces within the Sun family that she could not control.
Even knowing Ye Shaohong's true identity, the old lady still dared not approach him or reveal the truth, likely because of these people. By this point, Ye Shaohong had essentially figured everything out.
He just didn't have a chance to contact the old lady for the time being.
An assassin shows up at his door late at night, and Ye Shaohong has to fight to the death. Fortunately, his grandmother doesn't seem to have many people under her control.
If there were more people, she wouldn't be able to sit idly by and watch Captain Zhu take Wei Xiuyuan away.
"At most four or five people."
"With the combined strength of the three of us, we should be able to hold them off."
As he pondered, the sound of a dagger prying at the door bolt grew increasingly urgent. With a soft click, the door swung open wide.
Then three burly men dressed in black entered the room.
The instant they stepped into the bedroom, Ye Shaohong transformed into a cheetah, leaping forward. His dagger pierced through the air, directly into the leader's chest.
A scream followed.
At the same time, Yu Manli was not to be outdone. Her body was more flexible and agile than Ye Shaohong's.
She pressed one hand against the bed, flipped over, and leaped to the ground.
Then, she swung the dagger in her hand repeatedly. In a short moment, the dagger in Yu Manli's hand had stabbed the newcomer in the chest, abdomen and thigh three times in a row.
His technique was swift and efficient, not much different from Ye Shaohong, who had undergone rigorous military academy training.
Ye Shaohong and Yu Manli's sudden attack on the killers caused these late-night thugs to momentarily freeze in shock.
Then a roar rang out.
"They're not asleep!" "Attack them all!"
The unwelcome guests who showed up late at night were quite formidable. Despite being stabbed multiple times by Ye Shaohong and Yu Manli and sustaining serious injuries, the three of them showed no intention of backing down.
They even dared to shout that they wanted to take Ye Shaohong and Yu Manli's lives.
This also ignited Ye Shaohong's anger.
Since he was reborn into this world, he has been trying his best to avoid putting himself in dangerous situations.
But does that mean he's timid and cowardly?
Do not!
No!
Ye Shaohong was simply following the ancient adage of not standing under a dangerous wall.
He came to this strange world without any cheat codes like a system, but his physical abilities kept getting stronger.
Ye Shaohong had privately competed with Zhuang Yifan before.
With his current physical condition, even without having practiced ancient martial arts like Bajiquan, he could still hold his own against Zhuang Yifan for five or six minutes.
There is even a possibility of winning.
This shows that Ye Shaohong's combat strength is not low either.
He could withstand these desperate criminals if he was careful.
Moreover, Yu Manli was by his side.
Zhuang Yifan was in the next room too.
The sounds of fighting coming from their room should have woken Zhuang Yifan up by now. Once Zhuang Yifan has dealt with his opponent, he will come to his aid.
Therefore, Ye Shaohong was not flustered at all.
"You're all people sent by the eldest mistress, aren't you?!" "You want to kill me?"
"You few are not enough!"
After letting out a cold snort, Ye Shaohong stepped forward again, directly blocking the two desperate thugs. Relying on his fists and feet, as well as the dagger in his hand, he engaged them in close combat.
Four or five seconds later, one of the desperate thugs was the first to succumb and fell to Ye Shaohong's fist.
He collapsed to the ground.
Then Ye Shaohong shifted his target and set his sights on one person.
Just then, Zhuang Yifan's furious roar came from the courtyard outside their door.
"Team leader, are you okay?"
"I'm here to save you!"
Zhuang Yifan was nearly 1.9 meters tall, a veritable human monster in this era. He had also practiced Bajiquan (Eight Extremities Fist) since childhood, a deadly weapon of ancient Chinese martial arts. His attack, fueled by rage, was truly terrifying.
Like a tiger descending a mountain, he grabbed one of the men by the hair the moment he stepped through the door.
With a sudden, forceful swing, followed by a punch, Zhuang Yifan sent the intruder flying backward.
"Yifan, don't kill him!"
"I still need to take them to find my great-grandmother!"
