  But the inkstone above was still stuck on the door and didn't fall down. Chen Yuan's first mechanism failed.

  However, the inky night replaced the ink, helping Chen Yuan to successfully catch the prey with the second trap! As soon as the man's foot entered the room, a muffled cry suddenly came, and it seemed that he had stepped on the nail that Chen Yuan had placed on the ground.

  Chen Yuan secretly exclaimed in his heart: "Good! As long as one of them steps on a mechanism, the ones behind won't be able to escape!"

  As expected, the man was nailed to the ground and subconsciously jumped forward, but heard a "crack" sound, Chen Yuan's hunting clip on the ground clamped his leg, this time he couldn't bear it anymore, loudly shouting: "Ah yo!"

  The shouting had not stopped when two short knives shot out from both sides and were inserted directly into the man's two arms. The man was in so much pain that he fell to the ground.

  It was just as he fell to the ground that the last sandbag of over a hundred pounds suddenly came crashing down, but surprisingly missed him.

  Chen Yuan no longer hesitated and jumped down from the bed, holding a long knife and pointing it at the person: "Don't move! If you move again, I'll chop you!"

  That man was in so much pain that he couldn't resist, hugging his leg and saying: "Good fellow spare my life, good fellow spare my life, I'll never dare again!"

  This cry for mercy suddenly gave Chen Yuan a sense of accomplishment, and he thought with satisfaction: "Is this the so-called master? I easily settled him!"

  Chen Yuan first lit the candle and, by the light of it, took a look. It was indeed the big fellow who lived next door. At this time, the hunting clip had clamped onto the big fellow's left leg, with a short knife inserted into each of his two arms, fresh blood constantly gushing out from the wounds.

  The Great Han pleaded: "Good fellow, I am blind and cannot recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me."

  Chen Yuan thought to himself, "Let go? That Taishi would never let me off the hook. Yesterday's matter was settled by Bai Yutang himself, today I'll take care of this so-called expert myself, and make sure to leave no trace. Let the people from that Taishi's mansion be mystified, unable to gauge my true abilities."

  Thinking of this, Chen Yuan wanted to kill again. But although he had the urge to kill the strong man, he just couldn't bring himself to raise his knife and strike.

  It's just that for a person, the first time killing someone is very difficult. Especially when facing someone who seems to have already lost their ability to resist, a newcomer who has never seen blood will absolutely be unable to do it.

  Chen Yuan looked at the robust man and slowly gathered his courage in his heart, but asked some things he wanted to know on his lips: "How many people have you brought this time?"

  The sturdy man's sweat dripped down his forehead as he gritted his teeth and replied, "I've always been a lone wolf, I don't have any partners."

  Chen Yuanyi thought so too, after all, they were experts.

  "In the Taishi Mansion, apart from him, are there any others with superior martial arts skills?" Chen Yuan asked.

  He thought that if this person's martial arts were the highest in the Taishi Fu, then he wouldn't have to be afraid either. It seemed that these masters weren't anything special after all.

  But then the man was taken aback, and immediately sighed with a bitter smile: "Ah, good sir, if I could get a decent job at the Grand Preceptor's mansion, why would I still be doing these sneaky things?"

  This time Chen Yuan was stunned, and it took him a while to come to his senses. He stepped forward, grabbed the collar of the robust man: "Isn't this the Taishi Fu?"

  The sturdy man nodded: "I just saw that your business was good today, and I wanted to steal some silver from you. Haven't eaten for a day, have you?"

  Chen Yuan was furious: "Not from the Taishi Mansion, what kind of expert are you pretending to be?"

  That person looked very wronged: "I didn't pretend!"

  "What was he doing staring at me while going up the stairs and humming that tune?"

  That man spread his hands: "I just wanted to see if there was any money on him, looked for half a day and found no money, so I hummed."

  Chen Yuan was almost out of breath: "Why stay in the room all day and not come out? Don't even drink tea?"

  "That person replied: 'In our line of work, who comes out during the day? As for tea, I've never been accustomed to the taste of tea leaves.'"

  Chen Yuan was speechless, he really didn't know why things would turn out this way! He had originally wanted to catch a big fish, but this little thief had ruined everything!

  He kicked one foot on the thief's uninjured leg and scolded, "You're just a thief, why pretend to be a hero!"

  Chen Yuan suddenly thought, this person is not from the Taishi Mansion, where is that expert from the Taishi Mansion? Chen Yuan pondered, slowly turning around, and just as he turned around, he found someone sitting at the head of his bed!

  "Good heavens!" Chen Yuan exclaimed loudly.

  That man smiled and lifted his head, but it was none other than Yao San, the one who had been driving the carriage!

  When did Yao San come in? How could he not notice at all? Turning his head to look at the door, it had already been closed, and the ink on the door had been placed aside. How was the door opened? When was the ink removed? How could he not notice anything? Chen Yuan stared blankly at Yao San, unsure of what to say.

  Yao Sanxian ignored Chen Yuan and walked over to the robust man, patting his face: "What's your name?"

  Zhuang Han replied: "Han Qi."

  Yao San Tou didn't respond, and with a mocking tone said: "Brother Chen, don't you think that the Grand Master would send someone as useless as this?"

  As soon as the words fell, Yao San suddenly picked up Chen Yuan's hunting pliers placed on the bedside, pinched with two fingers, and it seemed that he didn't use much force, but the iron pliers were instantly broken in half!

  Chen Yuan now understood that Yao Sancai was actually a person sent by Pang Taishi!

  Yao San slowly turned around and walked towards Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan gritted his teeth: "Damn it, either way I'm dead, I'll fight to the end!"

  After finishing speaking, the long knife in his hand chopped out fiercely.

  But just as the long knife had fallen halfway, Chen Yuan suddenly felt a looseness in his hand, and the knife was gone! He had no idea how he had dropped it!

  The knife was already in Yao San's hand, and Yao San lightly patted Chen Yuan's shoulder: "Brother Chen, I know you didn't mean to get involved in this dispute. If she were really their person, they wouldn't have pointed her out that day. How about this? Tell me where she is now, and I guarantee that this matter will be over and done with from then on! You can do business without worrying, no one will come to disturb you again, how's that?"

  Chen Yuan's courage and confidence had vanished in an instant, he was just a businessman, Chen Shimei was just a scholar, that kind of heroic spirit, could not be found on him now. But Chen Yuan was not a fool, hiding Hu Jing, he might still be able to survive! Once he revealed Hu Jing, he would definitely die.

  He looked up at Yao San and said, "Do I have a choice?"

  Yao San smiled slightly and shook his head, saying: "It seems there isn't."

  Chen Yuan heroically puffed out his chest: "What if I don't speak? At least, I can choose to die."

  "Brother Chen, this world doesn't just have life and death. Between life and death, there's a boundless suffering called 'worse than death'. Want to try it?"
