According to Wu Enya's instructions, Qu Sen stayed in Wu Enya's courtyard the entire time after they entered the Wu family mansion.
The other members of the team took turns following Wu Enya around the mansion, using various excuses to familiarize themselves with the surroundings.
In the evening, a servant notified Wu Guangxiong that they had arrived. Wu Enya sent the servant away and quickly brought an assistant and Sun Yang to the main courtyard where Wu Sheng-hsiung lived.
The large courtyard severely interfered with short-wave communications, so Qu Sen had no idea what was going on outside. This made him feel very uneasy. After strolling around the courtyard twice and checking the various hidden and open sentry posts, he returned to the main hall of the main building.
After gently stretching the tensed ligaments around his wound, he nestled into the armchair and fiddled with his pistol.
Although Wu Enya didn't say it explicitly, Qu Sen could sense that the sky above the Wu family mansion was already covered in dark clouds. He had a feeling that something was going to happen tonight.
The assistant Wu Enya had left behind walked in from outside and reported to Qu Sen in a low voice that the Wu family was about to start a banquet and would probably go on until late at night. Wu Enya told Qu Sen not to worry.
Qu Sen nestled on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the exquisite ceiling above his head as he pondered, "The family meeting hasn't even started yet, but they're already having a reunion dinner. Are they afraid that they won't have another chance to eat together in the future?"
A row of maids carrying food boxes filed into the courtyard and quickly left after putting down the food. The food boxes contained the bodyguards' dinner, and it was very sumptuous.
Qu Sen had everyone take turns eating, but he didn't move. He remained nestled on the sofa, thinking about the Wu family's matters.
Not long after, the assistant walked in with a small food box and placed it on the coffee table next to Qu Sen. He quietly took out the food and said, "Boss told the kitchen to make this for you."
Fish porridge, side dishes, and two mixed grain buns were all things Qu Sen liked to eat during this period of time.
Qu Sen didn't like curry and wasn't interested in sweet dishes, prawn sauce and the like. Therefore, he had been staring at the few things in front of him during this period of time.
"Thank you. You can go and eat. Don't worry about me." Qu Sen took the porridge from his assistant and politely sent her away.
After a while, the assistant returned and whispered, "The housekeeper has arranged for someone to deliver the things we brought with the ship."
The things that came with the ship were weapons. When everyone got off the boat, they were dressed as bodyguards and only had pistols on them. If something really happened, in this world where automatic rifles ran rampant, not to mention protecting others, even self-preservation would be a problem.
Therefore, before they set off, they sealed the spears in boxes in the cabin and would bring them in later.
As the butler of the old residence, Ah Sheng was naturally Wu Sheng-hsiung's trusted aide. Qu Sen already knew that Wu Enya and her father had conspired to trick her second uncle, so it wasn't strange that Ah Sheng had arranged for someone to send the weapons over.
When the eight men carried the four large chests into the courtyard, Qu Sen stayed in the hall and did not show his face. After observing for a while and confirming that the butler, Ah Sheng, hadn't come, he relaxed a little.
The four large chests were quickly carried into the main hall. Qu Sen noticed that the leader's left arm was very stiff and he was wearing a pair of gray gloves. After careful observation, he confirmed that the person's left arm was a prosthetic.
The leader might have noticed Qu Sen's gaze and turned to glance at him. Their gazes met for a moment, and the other party quickly lowered his head. After instructing them to put down the chests, he left with his men.
"Do you know the leader?" Qu Sen asked his assistant after the person who delivered the chests left.
Although the assistant had followed Wu Enya to the old residence a few times, he didn't know much about the people there. After recalling for a moment, he said, "I've seen him before. I think he works under Butler Sheng, but I'm not sure about the details."
Qu Sen nodded and didn't ask further.
In this chaotic place, there was nothing strange about wearing a prosthetic limb if one was injured or disabled.
However, after that person's eyes met with Qu Sen's, although the other party didn't show anything, his footsteps and back looked a little stiff when he left.
And at this moment, when Qu Sen recalled that person again, he actually vaguely felt that he was somewhat familiar. However, he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
This situation made Qu Sen, who had been nervous all this time, a little vigilant. However, now that Wu Enya wasn't around, it wasn't convenient for him to move around casually, so he could only wait and see.
The special forces quickly gathered. After receiving their weapons, Qu Sen divided them into two groups to take turns guarding.
When it was close to nine in the evening, the assistant came in again and whispered to Qu Sen, "The person you asked about just now is here again. He said that Miss Ya is looking for you."
"The one with the prosthetic left arm?"
"Yes!"
"He's alone."
"Yes, he came in through the corner door."
"Bring him in."
"Yes!"
Two minutes later, the assistant brought him in. Qu Sen looked at him and asked, "Miss Ya is looking for me?"
"Yes, she has something to tell you, but it's not convenient for her to come out now. She asked me to bring you there."
"What's your name?"
"Nai Wang."
Qu Sen nodded and stood up from the sofa. After making a gesture with his hand behind his back, he said softly, "Let's go."
Nai Wang didn't say anything else. He led Qu Sen out of the main hall and toward the corner door.
Nai Wang was very familiar with the Wu family's old mansion. He led Qu Sen quickly through the green belts and small paths between the buildings. They avoided most of the patrolling armed personnel. Occasionally, they encountered one or two, but they didn't stop him.
Soon, Qu Sen was brought to an empty courtyard behind the main mansion. Everyone had summarized the terrain, so Qu Sen knew that this courtyard used to be where Wu Sheng-hsiung kept his "playthings."
However, it seemed that the "playthings" had been dismissed, so the courtyard was empty.
Nai Wang brought Qu Sen directly to a side room and said in a low voice, "Please wait here for a moment. I'll go get Miss Ya."
Qu Sen nodded and didn't say anything. Using the light coming in from the window, he observed the furnishings in the room.
Nai Wang turned around and pretended to leave. His right hand secretly grasped the dagger at his waist. He suddenly turned around and took the opportunity to swipe the dagger at Qu Sen's neck.
The speed of the dagger was extremely fast, but it stopped when it was 20 to 30 centimeters away from Qu Sen's neck. This was because when Nai Wang turned around, he realized that the muzzle of a gun was pressed against his head.
"Why do I feel that you look a little familiar? Have we met before?" Qu Sen asked in a relatively calm tone.
Ever since he left Wu Enya's courtyard, Qu Sen had been on guard against Nai Wang. When Nai Wang reached for his waist, the first thing he did was to take out his gun.
Nai Wang wanted to turn around, so Qu Sen took the initiative to press the gun against his head.
"I don't know if you've seen me before, but I've seen you before!" Although Nai Wang was at a disadvantage, his eyes were fixed on Qu Sen. The hatred contained in his eyes made Qu Sen very puzzled.
"Do we have a grudge?" Qu Sen asked again.
"Yes!"
"Tell me."
"This hand of mine fell off because of you." Nai Wang lifted his left arm that had a prosthetic hand.
"I … hit you?"
"The butler chopped it off."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"It was chopped off because of you." Nai Wang emphasized.
"Be more specific." Qu Sen's patience was almost exhausted.
"Ah Tai died. I came back alive, so the butler chopped off one of my hands."
"Ah Tai … Wu Entai. Oh, I remember now. You're the person who escaped during the arrest. No wonder you look familiar. "Qu Sen instantly remembered who this person was.
Nai Wang was a bodyguard sent by Wu Sheng-hsiung to Wu Entai. When he was in Huacheng, he was never seen by the police. So the police only had photos and videos taken by drones after he suddenly appeared.
Then the case came to an end. Qu Sen didn't pay much attention to it. He only saw the photos on the wanted poster a few times.
"Now that you remember, go die!" Nai Wang's expression instantly became ferocious. He used his prosthetic hand to block the muzzle of the gun, and the dagger in his right hand slashed towards Qu Sen again.
Qu Sen didn't dare to shoot rashly. He took half a step back to avoid the blade and kicked Nai Wang's knee. While Nai Wang lost his balance, he swung the gun butt and smashed Nai Wang's nose.
Nai Wang's nose was in severe pain, and his eyes were instantly covered with tears. When his body leaned back, he swung the dagger again. However, Qu Sen caught his wrist, and then he was dizzy. He was thrown to the ground by Qu Sen.
When Qu Sen did the back throw, he pulled his right gluteus maximus muscle. He instantly felt a tearing pain, and he almost screamed. He resisted the pain and twisted Nai Wang's right arm, and the dagger fell to the ground.
At this time, the door opened. Qu Sen looked back and saw Geng Letian coming in. He lowered his voice and said, "Why did you come so late?"
"It took some effort to avoid the sentry post," Geng Letian replied and helped Qu Sen hold down Nai Wang, who was still struggling.
When Qu Sen came out, he gestured for Geng Letian to follow him. However, he didn't have any problems following Nai Wang all the way here, but it took Geng Letian a lot more effort. That was why he followed him.
"What's wrong with this guy?" Geng Letian asked after taking off the rope that tied Nai Wang's pants and tying him up.
"This kid recognized me," Qu Sen replied.
"He recognized you?" Geng Letian instantly turned nervous.
"It's fine. He secretly came to seek revenge on me. It must be because the higher-ups don't plan on dealing with me." After Qu Sen voiced his judgment, he patted Nai Wang on the head.
Qu Sen was right. After Nai Wang recognized him, he immediately reported to Ah Sheng that he had seen the enemy who killed Ah Tai.
In the end, Ah Sheng gave him a strange look and told him that Master and Missy knew about this. That person was useful and couldn't be touched for the time being.
Nai Wang wasn't a fool. He had his own judgment about what had happened at home recently.
At this gathering, the Wu family seemed to be harmonious, but in fact, Master and Second Master's families were wary of each other. Nai Wang knew this very well.
While everyone was eating, the butler had asked him to deliver weapons to Miss Ya's men. Miss Ya had also brought the person who killed Ah Tai with her.
What did this mean? Master's health was failing, and Second Master was anxious to take charge of the family, but the butler had chosen Miss Ya.
As for Ah Tai's revenge, no one cared.
