Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Shizi Empire Capital...

Since it's the middle of the night, the usually busy streets were now relatively quiet. Except for those noisy drunkards who were still enjoying their time in a tavern or brothel.

Lights from lanterns hanging at the front of each shop helped brighten the streets for safety purposes or just to help those that had businesses that required moving around at night.

Three individuals advanced carefully but swiftly through the street's dark corners, trying to avoid being seen by anyone.

One of the shadows assisted the other one in moving since the blood loss was too much for the other to even lift his head.

The blood loss was from the hand that was cut. The wound was wrapped with black cloth.

His face was pale, if not for his eyes still being open, one would think that he was already dead.

The third shadow did his best to move swiftly, using the last of his remaining energy to arrive in safety.

After finding the Li Smith Shop on the most remote area of the capital, one of the shadows pulled a hidden rope outside the shop. "Click" the short sound indicated that the door was open.

"Yin Wang Shu!" Yin Bai immediately shouted after getting inside the smith shop, "Quickly! Help Yin Gu!" Putting down the injured man to check his still bleeding hand. Yin Gu was surely not dead yet because of poison but probably soon, because of too much blood loss.

She was in so much of a hurry that one might think that she would trip soon if she accidentally stepped on her long black robes that reached the end of her feet.

After her, were other men from the Liqi Clan. They were considered Yin Bai's family.

"What happened?!" one of them shouted with worry. The rest of the brothers fussed about them and checked Yin Gu and Yin Chen.

Yin Chen, slumped to the nearest seat, feeling lightheaded, too drained of all the events that happened that night, unable to speak. Specifically, he was also not sure what he could speak about. He subconsciously touched his abdomen, trying to know if the snake was awake or not.

His attempt to try knowing what would happen or what's happening inside his body was already tortured enough. He wanted to close his eyes to rest but had a hard time doing so.

Who could rest properly if they were aware that there was a moving beast inside their stomach anyway?

"Young master how are you? Where are the rest?" one of them asked after seeing their brothers. One was hurt and lost a hand. The other one was too exhausted to speak. Then the other four were nowhere to be seen.

Yin Bai bitterly smiled at them, then shook his head. He placed his hand on his mouth to cover it, as a gesture that meant he could not speak.

The gesture made those who saw it look questioningly, but unable to voice it.

Getting a piece of paper and charcoal, 'Act normal. We are being monitored.' Initially, they did not want to go to the business house of the Liqi clan in the capital, but they could not trust anyone else.
