Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 864 842: Shrouded in Mystery

At the same time, there was the sound of crying outside, and someone brought in several maids responsible for preparing the medicinal soup in the kitchen, a total of four.

"Who poisoned the medicine?" Lu Yucheng asked coldly.

"Second Young Master, it wasn't me." The maids immediately started crying, as if they were terrified.

"Quiet, all of you!" Lu Yucheng snapped coldly, "Tell me the situation when the medicine was being prepared."

"We selected the herbs, then started brewing them in the kitchen, following the prescribed time, and simmered it slowly."

"Was anyone alone in the kitchen?"

Lu Yucheng asked coldly.

The maids all looked at the young woman on the left, and she suddenly panicked.

"Second Young Master, it really wasn't me. They went to eat, and I was in charge of watching the medicinal soup. But for a while, I had a stomach ache and went out to the restroom."

Ren Feng and the others looked at the maid, and Lu Yucheng slightly frowned. The maid didn't seem to be lying. If that's the case, this is really tricky.

"Who is most likely to have entered the kitchen?"

Ren Feng asked.

Lu Yucheng shook his head: "Anyone could have."

"Simple, let's question everyone carefully and see who entered the kitchen at that time," Kuang Bing suggested.

Lu Ruiyang nodded: "Right, that's what should be done. Do you need me to send someone to help?"

"No need, we'll handle it ourselves." Bai Baichuan replied.

After another round of investigation, nothing new was uncovered, and no one had seen anything.

Ren Feng sighed inwardly. This mole is hiding too well, but their methods are blatant and reckless; it's hard to deal with.

Helplessly, this matter had to be suppressed for now.

"Fourth Young Master, someone is looking for you outside."

A man who looked like a butler said respectfully outside the hall.

"Okay, I'll come."

Lu Ruiyang apologized to everyone and then followed the butler outside.

Ren Feng looked at the butler and casually asked: "Who is he?"

"The Lu Family's butler, he has followed the family for over twenty years."

Ren Feng's heart stirred.

...

Night, late at night.

Lu Ruiyang returned to his room, sighed inwardly, with a trace of worry in his eyes. Just as he was about to sit down, he was suddenly startled and shouted: "Who's there?"

In that instant, a shadow dived down towards Lu Ruiyang from the ceiling beam.

Crash!

A cold gleam flashed, but Lu Ruiyang reacted quickly, grabbing something nearby and shielding himself.

The piece of furniture was cut in half, and Lu Ruiyang used his feet to kick the whole table over, then turned and rushed out of the room.

"Help!"

Lu Ruiyang shouted!

Suddenly, the assailant's long blade stabbed from behind, hitting Lu Ruiyang's body accurately, making him scream in agony.

"Ah!"

Kuang Bing and the others were immediately alerted and came out of their rooms, just in time to see Lu Ruiyang clutching his chest and slowly falling, while another person fled quickly into the distance.

The entire Lu Family was alarmed, the searchlights turned on, but the person was already gone, with a small hill not far from the Lu Family, it was too hard to find them.

Everyone gathered, Lu Yucheng and Lu Wangjiang hurriedly arrived, as did Ren Feng, all headed to the third floor of Villa No. 4, seeing Lu Ruiyang collapsed on the ground, his chest gushing blood uncontrollably.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother!"

Lu Yucheng's face changed drastically, Lu Wangjiang's expression was also extremely grim.

Ren Feng frowned and immediately pinpointed several acupoints on Lu Ruiyang's body.

"Get him to the hospital quickly!"

Ren Feng said calmly.

The others scrambled to lift Lu Ruiyang and rushed him to the hospital.

Once Lu Ruiyang was put into the car, Ren Feng, Bai Baichuan and others examined the room.

"There are signs of a struggle," Whale assessed, "but not intense."

Blood stains were on the ground, Lu Yucheng's face extremely grim.

Lu Wangjiang was the same, his face cold, eyes filled with doubt.

"You all should head back; we'll examine the scene, and make sure everyone stays alert," Bai Baichuan said.

"Alright." Lu Yucheng nodded.

Lu Duo'er and Zhao Manrou were escorted back, their faces pale.

Without a doubt, the sudden attack on Lu Ruiyang added another layer of mystery to an already complex situation.

Ren Feng and Bai Baichuan remained in the room.

"Brother, what do you think?" Bai Baichuan frowned.

"Today, I initially suspected the butler, then considered Lu Ruiyang, but unexpectedly, Lu Ruiyang got attacked by an assassin. His wound, had it deviated slightly, would've been fatal."

Ren Feng frowned: "Clearly, the assailant wanted Lu Ruiyang dead."

"I can't figure out who the mole is now, they are too cunning."

Fei Long and Ironman remained silent, Kuang Bing sighed: "Thinking about this stuff is brain-draining."

"Let's start a city-wide search for the assassin, finding them would be a lead," Bai Baichuan said, "The Lu Family's matter isn't simple."

"Tonight, we should be more vigilant; otherwise, others might be targeted too."

The others nodded in agreement.

...

The next day.

Everyone got up, Bai Baichuan and Ren Feng alike were troubled by the mole, after just one day, so much had happened.

The entire morning, Bai Baichuan and others felt out of sorts, and not just them, the whole Lu Family was on edge, everyone nervous and jittery.

Lu Wangjiang's face grew increasingly cold, Lu Yucheng also lost his smile, and during meals, the atmosphere felt stifling.

By noon, the sound of an ambulance was heard outside, but it was Lu Ruiyang being pushed back in a wheelchair.

"Ruiyang, why did you leave the hospital and come back?" Lu Yucheng frowned.

Lu Ruiyang, still in bandages, looked pale and extremely weak.

"No, Second Brother, I had to come back. I, Lu Ruiyang, have never feared anyone in my life. Isn't that assassin trying to kill me? Fine, keep trying, I'm not afraid!"

"Fourth brother, this is ridiculous!"

Lu Yucheng was somewhat angry, while Lu Wangjiang only snorted coldly, ignoring Lu Ruiyang altogether.

Ren Feng, observing everyone's expressions, felt a bit puzzled.

Lu Ruiyang was pushed back to his room by himself, Lu Yucheng sighed, saying nothing.
