Night, the terrifying silence, Huqiu Mountain in Nanyang City, Jin Family.
It is three in the morning, and the Jin Family's previously bright and illuminated scene is now imrsed in quiet tranquility.
Everyone in the Jin Family is lost in peaceful dreams, the mansion is enveloped by utter silence, and the tension and oppression from yesterday seem to have dissipated like smoke.
Apart from the unknown low murmurs of animals nearby, only the intermittent sound of the wind's wail can be heard.
Jin Qingyun sits in his study, wide awake, staring into the deep night sky outside the window, feeling nothing but depression and suppression.
Reflecting on the events of the past two days, Jin Qingyun feels as though a huge rock weighs on his heart, making it difficult to breathe.
In just twenty-four hours, two of his bodyguards were shot and killed by Lu Yu's n in public, causing massive panic within the Jin Family. Now, everyone is terrified that they might be next!
The Jin Family is gripped with fear, an invisible threat is silently creeping into the Jin Family's atmosphere!
Creaaaak!
The study door slowly opens, and the butler cos in with a cup of tea, respectfully placing it next to Jin Qingyun, speaking: "Sir, it's late, take care of your health; after drinking this tea, you should rest."
The butler's words are filled with a deep, serious tone, conveying a sense of sincere advice.
"I can't sleep!"
Listening to the butler's words, Jin Qingyun sighs deeply, takes a sip of the tea beside him, and says: "You've seen the situation over the past two days. The gunn sent by Lu Yu are lying in ambush around us, targeting our servants. Everyone in the Jin Family is on edge. I can feel that many bodyguards are already considering leaving the Jin Family!"
Jin Qingyun's words are filled with a sense of old age and helplessness: "Lu Yu wants my entire Jin Family to collapse with this strategy of surrounding us with threats; his cunning is sothing even I feel inadequate against!"
Jin Qingyun's voice is worn, filled with deep sadness, his eyes full of worry, expressing a sense of helplessness.
"Please don't worry, sir."
Upon hearing Jin Qingyun, the butler speaks again, respectfully: "However strong Lu Yu is, he's just one person. The Lu Family has already descended into chaos. As long as we hold our ground and engage in a battle of attrition, I don't believe Lu Yu can compare to our massive Jin Family!"
The butler's voice carries a cold and determined tone, exhibiting confidence in the Jin Family's situation.
"A battle of attrition?"
Jin Qingyun smiles at the butler's words, then says: "What are you going to use for attrition? The Gu Family's example is right in front of us, while everyone in our family is scared. What do you propose to use for attrition?"
"Siege below, attack above."
Jin Qingyun shakes his head and says: "Surround without killing, let the Jin Family disrupt its own footing, adding this strategy of surrounding us with threats; Lu Yu's tactics are truly ruthless to the extre!"
Hearing this, a flash of brilliance appears in the butler's eyes. After a mont's thought, he says: "I never expected the forr wastrel of the Lu Family could turn out like this. Had we known, we should have killed him in the past!"
"Kill him?"
Upon hearing, Jin Qingyun says helplessly: "With what resources?"
"Recalling the events of the past years, I increasingly feel sothing odd. When we executed the Lu Family couple, Lu Yu wasn't ho, and when we intended to eliminate him, he seed to have vanished into thin air."
At this, Jin Qingyun's gaze shifts, looking at the butler before him, saying: "Since the Gu Family's downfall, I revisited this matter and a bold guess erged within !"
Jin Qingyun's words carry a hint of coldness.
"What guess?"
Upon hearing Jin Qingyun, the butler inquires.
"There was an unknown force protecting Lu Yu back then!"
Jin Qingyun says, his eyes flashing brightly, with a sharpness erging within them.
"Unknown forces!?"
The butler's face shows a hint of shock, preparing to say more when suddenly an abrupt change occurs!
BANG!
A loud noise suddenly erupts, dispersing far into the silent night sky, startling birds into flight across Huqiu Mountain!
Gunshot!
Hearing the colossal noise, Jin Qingyun and the butler share a glance, imdiately launching toward the Jin Family premises without hesitation!
At three AM, a sudden gunshot rings out, coupled with two prior incidents, indicating that yet another bodyguard has been sniped!
Thinking deeply about this, Jin Qingyun gets angrier and angrier, speeding like wind, reaching the Jin Family courtyard in re minutes.
Upon entering the courtyard, Jin Qingyun raises his eyes to see a bodyguard lying on the ground, his head abruptly blasted apart, with pink brain matter and fluids scattered around—exactly like the previous bodyguards' deaths!
Surrounding the bodyguard are other patrolling guards, their faces full of fear, clearly deeply frightened by the occurrence!
Hiss!
Seeing the scene before him, Jin Qingyun sharply inhales, thinking to himself: Another one!
After the previous two consecutive bodyguard deaths, now a third bodyguard's head gets blasted, precisely twenty-four hours after the last one!
anwhile, as Jin Qingyun remains in shock, the previously sleeping Jin Family servants are abruptly awakened, urgently rushing over. Upon seeing the bodyguard with a blasted head, their legs weaken, filled with terror!
An unvoiced fear takes hold over the Jin Family, spreading wildly, paralyzing everyone who sees the bloody scene and rendering them inexpressibly uncomfortable!
In the deep night, as everyone sleeps, after two consecutive bodyguard deaths, yet another had his head blasted—such a scene chills all present to the bone!
