White Cat had already merged with the snow.
The bodyguard at the door sensed something on the snow...
He frowned, spoke a few words to the bodyguard beside him, and then quickly hurried towards that pile of snow.
Noticing someone approaching, White Cat swiftly burrowed into the snow pile.
The bodyguard stared for quite a while but spotted nothing unusual.
He then returned to the entrance of the basement.
Once everything was quiet again, White Cat quietly emerged from the snow pile.
Then, it stealthily left.
The night returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.
It was already deep into the night.
The time was exactly 11:50.
Gu Garden was very quiet at this hour.
Apart from the dim yellow lights illuminating Gu Garden, everyone had already gone to rest.
Gu Qiaoqiao had also been staying at Gu Garden for these few days.
Because she had to carve Lotus Petal.
After all, all her carving materials were here.
Moreover, only the Treasure Room was suitable for storing the Red Spirit Jade Marrow.
It wasn’t quite appropriate to keep it elsewhere.
And because of work the next day, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t stay up too late.
Still, it wasn’t until after ten that Gu Qiaoqiao lay down on her bed.
For some reason, she was restless this night, feeling uneasy.
But she didn’t know where this unease came from.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought, perhaps she had been too busy and tired recently.
And that could be the reason for her mental exhaustion.
Knowing she had work tomorrow, Gu Qiaoqiao pressed her fingers to her forehead, forcing herself to sleep.
Right at that moment, two sedans and a bus slowly drove up outside the alley of the park.
The sedans were white, and so was the bus.
In the snow-covered surroundings, they were not conspicuous.
Soon, the vehicles stopped at the mouth of the alley.
Only over three hundred meters from Gu Garden.
From one of the white sedans, a man dressed in a black fur coat stepped out.
Cradling a white cat in his arms.
This was Dongfang Yu, followed by Lin Fanpeng appearing as well.
Wearing a hat and dressed in the same black fur coat.
His face was hidden in the shadow of the hat and covered by a black mask.
His expression indiscernible.
About eight people then silently disembarked from the bus.
All of them carrying a strangely shaped gun.
Two of them, agile as monkeys, clambered up a utility pole.
At that time, the utility poles, like a spider’s web, were spread throughout the streets and alleys of the Imperial Capital.
Quickly, they used wire cutters to sever the wires.
The area instantly plunged into darkness.
This night, with no moon, only the brilliant white snow emitted a faint glow.
After coming down, the two individuals joined the ranks.
Lin Fanpeng whispered a few instructions in a low voice.
Then they headed towards the mansion’s basement, which held Ning Wanru captive.
Dongfang Yu set down the White Cat.
Suddenly, his figure flashed and, like a swallow, he soared up the high walls of Gu Garden.
The high walls were electrified.
It was just unfortunate that the electricity had been cut off.
Gu Garden too was engulfed in darkness.
But still, it remained eerily quiet, and no one noticed the power outage.
Dongfang Yu looked in a certain direction, a faint smile curling his lips.
Then, he extended his right hand, and suddenly, a Spirit Talisman appeared in his hand; he twisted his fingers, and the talisman caught fire on its own.
In the night, it emitted a bluish glow.
