Chapter 71: The Wu Family Meets with Disaster

  Looking at the figures of those people leaving, Liu Dakan's body was limp and powerless, leaning against the wall, his eyelids felt like they had a thousand pounds of weight, and his body became abnormally cold. He knew he wouldn't live much longer, maybe the next moment his life would come to an end, but before dying, he still had to fulfill his last responsibility, reminding the people in the mansion and also informing the master who was in the demon beast forest that something had happened to the Wu family.

  Liu Dakang immediately thought of sending out a distress signal to the Wu family after the four people left, and this distress signal was on his body.

  He had to do this, because only in this way could the Wu family members have a chance to escape, only in this way could the master of the house know that something was wrong with the Wu family, and only in this way could the master of the house rush back to avenge his brothers. As for whether the master could do it or not, Liu Daxiang had never doubted it, because in his heart, the master was all-powerful.

  With great difficulty, Liu Dakang stretched his hand into his clothes, and his stiff fingers tightly grasped the distress signal, pulling it out. Such a simple action seemed to have consumed nearly half of Liu Dakang's physical strength, and sweat was wildly breaking out all over his forehead, chest, and body at this moment.

  Struggling to lie down on the ground, Liu Dakang held up the distress signal in his hand high, and with the other trembling hand grasped the fuse and pulled it with all his might!

  "Hmph!"

  A shrill, ear-piercing sound suddenly rose, and the voice instantly echoed throughout Qing Shui Town. The crimson signal instantly flew high into the air, carrying all of Liu Da Kang's hopes soaring high. In a daze, Liu Da Kang saw a dazzling firework suddenly burst open, dyeing the entire sky red.

  "What a beautiful scene!" After muttering to himself, Liu Dakang spat out a mouthful of blood and took his last breath with him. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was satisfied with himself, whether it was for the life he had lived or for his final performance. None of this mattered anymore, because he had done everything he could do, and left behind his last thoughts in his heart.

  "Master of the house, I'm troubling you to take care of my wife and child..."

  ……

  Unlike the calm scene here, when the Wu family's distress signal sounded, the entire Wu family was in a state of great chaos. The first to react were naturally those assassins.

  "Someone actually sent a signal!?" The young man in Chinese clothing turned his head to look at the red fireworks in the sky, and then frowned at the old assassin beside him, saying, "Could it be that our subordinates didn't clean up thoroughly? There shouldn't be any oversights, right?"

  The old assassin also furrowed his brow at this time, saying: "Old man had indeed made arrangements earlier, all the guards, whether they were overt or covert, were handled by specialized personnel, and it should be said that there would definitely be no mistakes..."

  "It won't go wrong! What did you say? What is this!" The young man pointed at the blooming fireworks in the sky and asked loudly. Seeing that the old man had nothing to say, he took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, hurry up and tell your subordinates to act immediately! Don't leave any survivors! No mistakes are allowed, do you understand?"

  "Yes! Young Master." The three people beside the young man replied in unison.

  When the signal sounded, Wu's family also reacted quickly. Previously, because there had been cases of being attacked by assassins, Wu Zongyue had instructed them before leaving.

  Wu Renjie and his mother's courtyard were very close, when the signal sounded, Wu Renjie woke up, saw the blood red in the sky, knew what it was, didn't even bother to wear outer clothes and shoes, immediately rushed towards his mother's courtyard, and soon broke open the door, came into the house and saw the second wife.

  "Mother! There's danger, let's go quickly!" Wu Renjie looked at his mother with a worried face, already dressed and ready to run, pulling her hand to hurry outside.

  "Hey kid, don't worry! Your father had actually made arrangements before he left! Follow me!" The second wife also looked panicked, but she still remembered the backup plan Wu Zongyue had left behind before his departure.

  Wu Renjie felt a slight sense of relief after hearing this, thinking that since it was his father's last resort, it must be correct. He then followed closely behind his mother towards **.

  The second wife led Wu Renjie through the twists and turns of the courtyard, and after entering another small yard, they came to an ancient well filled with water. She took out two medicinal pills, which were actually the Introspection Pills that Wu Ye had given to Wu Zongyue earlier. She hastily swallowed one pill herself and gave the other to Wu Renjie, looking at her son with a face full of expectation.

  Wu Renjie didn't hesitate either, and immediately swallowed it down, then looked at his mother.

  The second wife saw this, as if she had let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Wu Renjie saying: "There is an underground tunnel under this well, the entrance is in the water, but don't worry, the direction of the cave mouth is slanting upwards, there are things to eat inside, and also candles, Jie'er you hurry up and go down!"

  "Ah, good!" Wu Renjie's heart was delighted, thinking that his father had indeed thought of everything, not only leaving the secret passage so hidden, but also with a layer of water separating it, and it would certainly not be discovered by the assassins!

  Then he took a leap and jumped into the water, wiped his face, and then looked up at Mrs. Erfang and said, "Mother! Hurry up and jump down!"

  Then with a bold stroke, he dove down, opening his eyes with effort, enduring the discomfort of the water and heading downwards. At about 3 meters underwater, he found the entrance, which was a one-meter square cave, not big, but just enough for one person to enter. He quickly kicked his legs and swam in, advancing about two or three meters before the passageway began to slope upwards. Inside the cave, it was pitch black, so dark that he couldn't see his own fingers when he stretched out his hand.

  After Wu Renjie struggled to climb up for three to five meters, he suddenly emerged from the water and began to breathe heavily.

  Wu Renjie was extremely grateful that he could still be alive at this moment, and secretly thought that if it were an ordinary person, they would not have been able to make it here due to lack of oxygen. Fortunately, he had been working hard and practicing his skills over the past few days, and now it seemed like it had paid off.

  "Huh? No! Where's my mother!? Mother can swim, right!" Wu Renjie stretched out his hand to feel around, and found many objects, most of which he threw away, but kept the flint and candle. He opened the flint and lit the candle, and the cave was suddenly bright. Wu Renjie didn't care about the glare at this time, and leaned down to search underwater.

  Actually, after Wu Renjie jumped into the well and shouted at the second wife, she also wanted to jump down. The second house was originally grown up by the sea, but because of the family's misfortune, it flowed to Qing Shui Town. It was also at that time that Wu Zongyue came to this place and took her in as a concubine. Growing up by the sea, she naturally had good water quality.

  But just as her own son had jumped into the water, and she was about to follow suit, she suddenly heard the sound of the courtyard gate being smashed open. Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately thought that if she were to jump into the water now, she would definitely be heard by the approaching assassins, and in that case, both she and her son might not survive. So she quickly turned around to look for another place to hide.

  "It's crucial to protect the son, Jie has already repented, and there are still many days ahead to enjoy, can't let his safety be threatened!" The second wife made a quick decision in her heart and immediately hid behind the flower cluster by the wall.

  "The grass and trees are lush here, and I also took the medicine given by the old master, if it were an ordinary assassin, they shouldn't be able to find me!" The second lady thought uncertainly, but her body didn't stop for a moment, and she immediately hid behind the flowers and grass.

  "Bang!" Just as the second house had just hidden, a loud noise came from the blocked courtyard door, which was kicked open from the outside. Then, a faint sound of footsteps was heard in his ears.

  The sound came from afar and drew near to the second room, slowly approaching. One by one, it seemed like a death knell, striking her body and mind again and again.

  At this moment, Er Fang's heart tightened, and his whole body felt a chill run down his spine. His heart was racing violently, as if it was going to jump out of his throat. Although he wanted to take a look, he didn't have the courage to do so, and could only hold his head in both hands, holding his breath with all his might, and sticking his body firmly to the ground, not daring to expose himself.

  At this time, the faint footsteps also seemed to be because the master did not find anything, and then walked in another direction, the sound slowly weakened, Er Fang's heart was also as if it were with the footsteps in the same rhythm, following the sound farther and farther away, until finally disappearing in the courtyard.

  The two houses originally had some slightly trembling bodies, and at this moment they also improved a little with the departure of the assassin, but still did not dare to make any movements, deeply afraid that they would accidentally make some noise and be heard by the assassin, and thus lose their lives.

  After a while, there was no sound around, although the second house could still hear the panicked and escaped voices of the Wu family, but it seemed to be far away from himself. So he carefully raised his head, looked around, and found that there was no one after discovering that there was no one, he finally let out a long breath, secretly thinking that he had escaped a disaster.

  Slowly got up, with a relieved expression on his face, he quietly walked towards the direction of the well, wanting to take this opportunity to dive into the water and find Jie Er, at which point he would also be safe.

  "Hahaha!" Just then, a burst of unpleasant laughter like an owl's came from behind the second wife, startling her so much that she shuddered all over and turned around unsteadily to look at what was behind her.

  The sky had gradually brightened up at this time, and just then, on the wall of his own small courtyard, a black-clad assassin was squatting there, motionless like a mud sculpture, with a mocking glint in his eyes.

  Then, the assassin's body suddenly expanded like a giant bat and pounced on the second lady. The woman was frightened and desperately ran forward, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't escape the shadow of the bat on the ground. As the shadow grew larger, the second lady felt hopeless and turned her head to look at the assassin, as if wanting to get a clear look at the person who was going to kill her before she died.

  Turning back, only a black shadow was seen. A bright light flashed before his eyes, and a deep mark appeared on Er Fang's neck. The woman stumbled forward, fell onto the assassin, and landed right on top of him. Fresh red blood spurted out, splashing all over the assassin's body.

  The assassin saw this and immediately kicked out with one foot, sending the woman flying far away. Her upper body was just covering the well mouth, and fresh blood dripped into the well drop by drop.

  The woman's eyes were vacant at this time, and a cold feeling came from all around, knowing that her life was not long, but also very fortunate, fortunate to have saved her son.

  At this time, however, a figure was slowly emerging from the well water. It turned out to be Wu Renjie, who had finally become impatient and dove back into the well because he hadn't seen his mother come looking for him. He was extremely cautious, afraid that any noise would alert the assassins outside, so he didn't dare make a sound. Just as he poked his head out of the water, he saw his mother lying at the edge of the well, with a deep gash on her neck and blood dripping down from it. For a moment, he was stunned into stillness.

  At the moment of her death, the second wife's eyes were blurry, but she saw a black shadow slowly floating up from the well water. She immediately thought that it was her son coming back to find her again, and her anxiety can be imagined. She wanted him to leave quickly, but she couldn't make a sound with her mouth, nor did she dare to make a sound, only a series of "cough cough cough" sounds came from her throat.

  A hand dangling from the edge of the well mouth was slightly swinging, unable to exert any strength, and could only move its mouth back and forth, silently saying to the dark shadow below: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up..."
