Chu Lingqi said, "Sister-in-law, you really are insightful. If you hadn't woken us up, if we hadn't been prepared in advance, the casualties would have been much greater."
Captain Li also said, "Yes, the wind was strong last night. If we hadn't been prepared, I don't know what this estate would have been burnt to."
Chen Afu quickly said, "Perhaps it was divine protection. I suddenly felt uneasy last night, always fearing that something would happen. Who knew, something really did happen." He then asked, "How are the injured? Are any lives in danger?"
Captain Li continued, "Of the four injured guards, one was stabbed in the stomach, one was stabbed in the back, and one had half of his right ear cut off. These three are not in serious condition. Only one had his left arm severed. He is crippled for life and can never be a guard again. The condition of the maid is the worst, half her face and body were burned ..."
