The little boy thought for a moment, seemingly recalling the scene at the time, and shook his head in terror, "I... I don't remember, but probably not. I was completely scared silly at the time. But... but they seemed to be slaughtering servants in the Wu mansion. These people were dressed very ordinarily."

Hearing that the Second Young Master was not among the dead, everyone's faces relaxed. The Second Young Master was the person they needed to protect during this mission. If he died, everyone would have to pay with their lives.

They had painstakingly sent off the funeral procession, even sacrificing Lin Qianqian. If, in the end, the Second Young Master died at the hands of a bunch of bandits, they wouldn't even have a place to cry.

"Oh, right, although I didn't see the Second Young Master you mentioned, I happened to see another person, also a man, but not very old, maybe... maybe 15 or 16 years old. His clothes were obviously not ordinary, probably one of the young masters of the Wu family."

"The... Third Young Master!" Luo Tianhe's voice suddenly sank, and he immediately realized the identity of this person, and asked, "The Wu mansion was looted, what was he doing?"

"This person was with the leader of the bandits. The two seemed to be very familiar. He was the one who led the bandits to capture people in the mansion. He also loudly directed these bandits to set up ambushes, saying that there were some troublesome guys who were not in the mansion now, but they would be back before dawn. After he dealt with these guys alone, he would have the bandits come forward and help him take care of the others in the Wu mansion."

"I secretly walked a distance in the Wu mansion and didn't see any of you. I thought... I thought that the people they were talking about might be you, so I sneaked out and hid near the Wu mansion to see if I could wait for you. Heaven has eyes, and I really waited for you!"

Looking at the bloodstains on the little boy's body from the branches and walls, Fatty couldn't help but feel sorry for the child in front of him. He squatted down and stroked his head very seriously, "Thank you so much. If you hadn't stopped us in advance, we might have all been killed."

"Fat Brother, you are a good person. Good people shouldn't die, only bad people should die." The little boy clenched his fist, then pulled Fatty's clothes and urged in a low voice, "Okay, I've told you everything about what happened. Now, you come with me. I know a small path. We can leave here without anyone noticing, leave Wolong Town. I'll take you, and we can also avoid the bandits' sentries at the entrance of the town."

"No, we can't leave yet. We still have a friend in the Wu mansion."

Fatty tried to explain to the little boy, but he didn't expect the other party to listen at all, "Fat Brother, if you go in now, you'll just be courting death! There are over 20 bandits inside, and their knives are this long!" Just thinking about the scene he saw made the little boy shiver. He would never forget the terrified expressions frozen on the heads of the people.

"You go first, we'll find you after we come out." Fatty touched the boy's head and smiled, "I won't lie to you."

Seeing that Fatty and the others were determined to go back, the little boy was so anxious that he almost scratched his head bald, but there was nothing he could do. Finally, he made up his mind, "Forget it, then I'll take you. I know a place where a section of the wall has collapsed. It's inconspicuous. If you move carefully, it shouldn't be a problem."

Led by the little boy, they finally arrived at this location. It was very remote, belonging to a deserted courtyard in the backyard. Fatty leaned against the wall and listened carefully for half a minute. It was very quiet inside.

"Don't wait here, go to the alley we were in before."

After saying goodbye to the little boy, the group carefully climbed over the wall. They weren't very interested in eliminating the bandits. Their goal was the Second Young Master. They had to rescue the Second Young Master and ensure his safety.

So, the group carefully sneaked towards the Second Young Master's room. At several key intersections in the Wu mansion, there were bandits in masks and night clothes guarding the area.

The bandits were dressed uniformly, holding a knife in one hand and a torch in the other. Judging from their strong and sturdy appearance, they knew they wouldn't be easy to deal with.

The bright blade of the knife shone with a cold light under the moonlight, and traces of blood could still be vaguely seen on it.

The group adhered to the principle of avoiding conflict if possible, and sneaked all the way to the entrance of the Second Young Master's courtyard. As expected, it was heavily guarded, with three bandits left to watch over it.

But at this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, leaving people to guard it proved that there were valuable things worth guarding inside. It seemed that the thing they were most worried about hadn't happened, and the Second Young Master was at least still alive.

At this time, the light shining in the Second Young Master's room also seemed to corroborate this.

Jiang Cheng signaled everyone to squat down, and then used gestures to convey instructions to everyone. The two people on the left would be dealt with by the four of them, and the one on the right would be dealt with by Luo Tianhe, Yuan Shanyuan, and Bai Yu.

After a brief preparation, they found an opportunity and everyone acted at the same time.

Fatty jumped down from the wall and directly pounced on a medium-sized bandit on the grass, then pressed him down hard. From beginning to end, this bandit didn't utter a sound.

Under the premise that Yao, Shun, and Yu attracted the other party's attention, Jiang Cheng strangled the neck of the second bandit from behind. He didn't break it directly, because doing so would make noise. After all, the situation in the Second Young Master's room was still unclear. If there were other bandits guarding inside, and they desperately stabbed the Second Young Master through the heart, it would be a tragedy.

After finishing the left side, the four of them carried away the bodies and hid them behind a tree, then went to the right side to find Luo Tianhe and others. Unexpectedly, as soon as they showed their heads, they ran into the third bandit facing their direction.

Fatty's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself that things were bad, that he had been tricked by Luo Tianhe and Yuan Shanyuan, and that the other party hadn't even made a move!

And as these three bandits shouted, the four of them would definitely be surrounded and killed. At that time, the remaining bandits, plus the Third Young Master's men, would swarm up, and it would be difficult to fight their way out.

But to Fatty's surprise, this third bandit just stared at them with his eyes open, holding a torch in one hand and a knife in the other, still maintaining his posture as a guard, without moving.

After looking at it for a long time, everyone finally realized the strangeness. This person wasn't blinking at all!

"Dead."

Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked around.

Luo Tianhe and Yuan Shanyuan, who were hiding in the dark, also came out at this time. There was a gleam of silver light in Yuan Shanyuan's hand. Fatty saw it clearly, it was a few silver needles.

Yuan Shanyuan gave the four of them a strange smile. It seemed that this third corpse was his handiwork. His methods were undeniably clever.

Without wasting any words, the group walked together towards the Second Young Master's room. On the way, Luo Tianhe introduced that they had already scouted ahead, and there were no bandits in the Second Young Master's room.

Gently pushing open the door, by the dim candlelight in the room, everyone saw a vague figure lying on the bed behind the curtain. Because it was facing away, they couldn't see the face.
