As Mister Guo was Lady Meng's first target, chaos had not yet broken out in the castle when Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus arrived to carry out their mission.
Both of them had arrived at precisely the right moment. They had only been hiding for fifteen minutes when Mister Guo left his house hurriedly with four of his men. Like a wily fox, he had been alerted to the strange activity in the inner residence.
However, just like any other person, Mister Guo had underestimated the abilities and determination of Lady Meng.
Mister Guo was not worried about his own safety but of the safety of an important person, one who was to play a key role in his schemes.
Upon seeing Mister Guo head in the direction of Shangguan Hongye's residence, Gu Shenwei could finally confirm his hunch.
To the Shangguan family, this would be a fierce family fight. To the two young adults on their assassination mission, this would be a rare opportunity to practice their swordsmanship.
