The man on the roof heard what Pharmacist Yin said and almost could not resist the urge to barge in and kill him.
How dare he openly say that he wants to capture more people? He really doesn’t value life at all. Those people are innocent. Is it an honor for them to die at his hands?
“Just wait. We’ll meet again soon.”
He took a deep breath and did not alert the enemy in the end. After leaving the courtyard, he sent his message to the 18 Stockaded Villages.
Then, he returned quietly, stuffed the cloth into his mouth, and tied the rope around his hands. Once everything was done, he sat peacefully in the room.
When the young men who were not poisoned yet witnessed his god-like actions, they widened their eyes so much that they nearly popped off.
If their mouths had not been gagged, they would have questioned him. Why did he return when he could have escaped? Was he courting death?
Meanwhile, it was too late by the time Deputy General Sun’s men arrived at Prince Lei Ting’s residence.
Prince Lei Ting had been poisoned.
Although he was still alive, Prince Lei Ting was already on his deathbed. Just as Qian Jiyun had said, Prince Lei Ting was not an unkillable cockroach.
Apart from Prince Lei Ting, everyone else in the villa was dead.
“Did they catch up?” Deputy General Sun asked a soldier behind him as he looked at Prince Lei Ting being carried on the back of another soldier.
“Deputy General, our men are following them,” the soldier replied.
Those people would have vanished if they had not rushed here in time. They were absolutely ruthless. Besides Prince Lei Ting, no one was left alive.
This was the consequence of asking an enemy to act against his interests. Those who did evil would be punished by the heavens.
“Continue keeping an eye on them. Don’t let them escape under our noses,” Deputy General Sun instructed the soldier.
He would be too ashamed to face the General if they escaped again. These people must have been responsible for Xue Ling’s death. However, they only managed to track down Prince Lei Ting.
“Yes, Deputy General, ” the soldier replied and left.
Meanwhile, the people from the 18 Stockaded Villages following up on the kidnapping case received their companion’s message. A large crowd gathered outside the courtyard of Pharmacist Yin’s residence.
Elder Huang also received the news and sent a team of people from the Secret Network to the residence.
The two groups arrived at the same time, but they minded their business.
However, they soon discovered that there was yet another group. Moreover, they were even more bloodthirsty than they were.
Young Master Tan felt something was amiss when he entered the courtyard.
He tried his best to ignore the indistinct sense of oppression, but he could not.
“You, come here.” He waved at a subordinate passing by the courtyard.
The man in black knew Young Master Tan. He walked over and asked, his head lowered, “Young Master Tan, what can I do for you?”
“How many specialists do we have here?” Young Master Tan asked.
“There are a total of 62 specialists. Most of them are guarding Pharmacist Yin,” the man in black replied.
