Chapter 277 Killing Her Son and Father
In a quiet and secluded courtyard, He Jinyan lay leisurely in a rocking chair, playing with a warm jade pendant in his hand. He seemed comfortable, but in fact, his heart was surging.
When he learned that Murong Ling'er had gone into the mountains alone, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sinister smile, and he secretly thought in his heart that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He sat up abruptly, a fierce look flashing in his eyes, and whispered an order to his trusted confidant beside him: "Send out all the assassins I can mobilize. Remember, don't leave any alive. This time, make sure Murong Ling'er doesn't return!"
These killers are all death warriors secretly raised by the He family over the years. Each of them is extraordinary in skills and ruthless.
Every master of the He family has his own team of death squads, and as the young master of the He family, He Jinyan has these death squads under his command, who are the elite among the elite and his sharpest minions.
"This time, the Murong guy will probably be seriously injured if not killed."
He Jinyan muttered to himself, and the shock and pain Chu Lingfeng felt after learning that Murong Ling'er had met with an accident emerged in his mind. A hint of pride appeared on his face.
He had been patient for many days, looking forward to such an opportunity to completely eliminate Murong Ling'er, the great threat to him.
As long as the killers can successfully complete the mission and destroy the body, even if Chu Lingfeng has doubts, he will not be able to find any evidence. Even if he cannot take her life directly, he must at least cripple her so that she can no longer be an obstacle to his dealing with Chu Lingfeng.
He Jinyan was full of confidence in his team of killers. He returned to the mansion and sat comfortably on the armchair with a smile of confidence on his face.
Sun Ying, who was standing by, watched all this quietly. She was keenly aware that He Jinyan was in an exceptionally happy mood today. Sun Ying was held in He Jinyan's arms, his hand gently caressing her palm, and the joy between his eyebrows was almost overflowing.
Sun Ying knew in her heart that He Jinyan's joy was not because of her. Although she was somewhat pretty, she was far from being a beauty.
As the young master of the Mo family, He Jinyan had seen countless beauties, so how could he look at a woman who was born a military prostitute differently? The reason why she could become He Jinyan's concubine was simply because He Jinyan's wives and concubines stayed in the He Mansion in Longmen City and did not come with him this time.
After experiencing what happened with Chu Lingfeng, Sun Ying became exceptionally sober and rational. She knew very well that she was just a plaything of He Jinyan! Her only thought was to find a way to rescue her brother from his predicament while she was still useful.
As for the future, she didn't dare to have any extravagant hopes, and she felt that she had no future at all.
So, she lowered her head and snuggled obediently in He Jinyan's arms, like a docile kitten.
He Jinyan had no time to figure out Sun Ying's thoughts. At this moment, his mind was full of plans on how to get rid of Chu Lingfeng.
This former god of war, even though he is now in such a state of decline, is by no means an ordinary person and is not easily dealt with.
If Chu Lingfeng hadn't been such a troublesome person, the person in the palace wouldn't have approached the He family to seek cooperation.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye it was noon, but the assassins sent out disappeared without a trace, and no news came.
He Jinyan's originally calm expression gradually turned into impatience. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, taking every step very heavily, showing his inner anxiety.
Seeing this, Sun Ying tactfully retreated quietly.
As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw He Jinyan's staff member rushing over in a hurry.
When the two passed each other, Mr. Mushi didn't even glance at Sun Ying. Even when she approached, he deliberately turned sideways to keep a distance from her, as if she was a disgusting existence.
Sun Ying walked away slowly without looking back.
She faintly heard the staff member push open the door and whisper something to He Jinyan in the room.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" sound, as if a cup was smashed to pieces in anger.
Sun Ying was shocked, but she pretended to be calm, quickened her pace, pretended she heard nothing, and hurried towards her residence, secretly wondering in her heart, could it be that the assassination attempt failed?
Inside the study, the silence was somewhat oppressive, and a tense atmosphere hung in the air.
He Jinyan sat on a carved sandalwood chair, holding a teacup tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force.
When he finished listening to the report from his staff, the expression on his face froze instantly, and then anger surged in his heart like a volcanic eruption.
"What did you say? All our men were killed by her? Not a single one escaped?"
He Jinyan stood up suddenly and smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground. With a "bang", the teacup shattered into pieces and tea splashed everywhere.
His face was full of disbelief, his eyes were as big as bells, staring at the staff member intently, as if asking him if he was lying.
"Those are the elite of the He family! How could they be defeated by a woman? Is she even more powerful than Chu Lingfeng in his prime?" He Jinyan's voice trembled with anger and echoed in the empty study.
Mr. Staff stood aside, head lowered, not daring to breathe. He knew very well how angry He Jinyan was at the moment, and the news he brought was undoubtedly adding salt to his wounds.
He recalled that when he learned the news that Murong Ling'er had walked out of the mountains safely, he was also shocked and speechless. He couldn't believe his ears, so he immediately sent people to the mountains to investigate.
However, when the people he sent came back to report, he had to accept this cruel reality: those dead soldiers seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace, leaving no trace, as if they had never entered the deep mountains.
"Young Master, this time we underestimated the strength of that woman. She is truly terrifyingly powerful." The staff member said cautiously, with a hint of awe in his voice.
At this moment, he finally believed in Murong Ling'er's terrifying strength. As long as such a woman was still by Chu Lingfeng's side, they would never be able to shake Chu Lingfeng easily.
He Jinyan's face became increasingly grim. The sacrifice of those assassins was like a nightmare to him. The He family had spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to train these elite assassins, but now they had all vanished overnight. How could he not feel heartbroken?
It was as if a piece of flesh was cut out from his body, and the pain was so severe that he almost suffocated.
After a long while, He Jinyan finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Continue to dispatch people. If you can't kill her, then capture her son and father and gradually defeat them!"
There was a fierce look in his eyes, as if he had seen Murong Ling'er and others struggling painfully under his scheme.
"No! Young master, you absolutely cannot do that!" Upon hearing this, the staff member was immediately horrified and hurried forward to stop it.
He was well aware of the danger of this plan. At the moment, they were still hiding in the dark, while the other party was in the open. Once such extreme measures were adopted, it would most likely anger Murong Ling'er.
Given her strength and personality, if she knew the existence of the He family, she would definitely launch a crazy revenge. By then, the young master's life would be in danger.
After hearing what the staff member said, He Jinyan's expression changed.
He paced back and forth in the study, struggling fiercely in his heart.
On the one hand, his hatred for Murong Ling'er made him want to kill her and everyone she cared about immediately. On the other hand, he also knew that what the staff member said made sense. As the young master of the He family, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of the family. His life was much more precious than that of a few fugitives. There was really no need to take the risk of doing such a futile thing.
