Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 857: Chapter 226 Chen Jie: Killing Yelu is as easy as taking something out of a bag_2

Chen Jie understood, and took out a Tai Sui Pill for Bai Wenjing. Bai Wenjing took the Tai Sui Pill, thought for a moment, divided it into three parts, then dissolved it in hot water to make a medicinal soup, to be consumed every two hours for the best effect.

Chen Jie put Ruirui down and came to Su Yunjin’s side.

He saw that his wife’s face was pale, as if experiencing a nightmare, mumbling: ”Husband, no, don’t touch my child, don’t...”

Chen Jie held her hand and said, ”It’s okay, it’s okay, wife, I’m here, your husband is here for everything...”

Su Yunjin felt the strength in Chen Jie’s big hand and stopped struggling, her breathing becoming calm.

Chen Jie waved his hand and said, ”Everyone, step out for now. I’d like to spend some time alone with my wife.”

Hearing this, everyone in the room obediently left, even taking Su Yunrui out with Yin Hongmei.

Chen Jie sat quietly by the bedside, staying with his wife, gently wiping away the tears at her eyes.

It truly has been hard for her.

Thinking this, an image of that assassin surfaced in Chen Jie’s mind. That female assassin who attempted to murder him in the end likely wasn’t sent by the Yelu Sect. If she wasn’t sent by Yelu, then who could have sent her?

The reason is twofold: First, this assassin is clearly different from the first two assassins.

Besides having special skills, these first two were vastly different from professional killers.

This was the first thing Chen Jie felt, they were definitely not from the same group.

Secondly, Chen Jie recalled Yelu’s expression when the third assassin appeared; it was one of shock. Human instinctive reactions don’t lie. He was indeed surprised then, which means he didn’t know about the third assassin either.

This rules out Yelu’s involvement.

The first two assassins were from Yelu, but this second wave, the female assassin, was definitely not from Yelu.

If it’s not Yelu, then who?

Who would harbor such hatred to wish him dead?

Chen Jie furrowed his brows, unable to understand it.

Chen Jie pondered deeply, thinking of those who held grudges against him. After much thought, he recalled only Yu Man’er.

Was it Yu Man’er?

If she had such capabilities, why go to Yong’an Prefecture Night Market to find an assassin? Moreover, it’s laughable that the chosen assassin was outsmarted by a broker.

Indeed, Yu Man’er’s affairs, both people from the Tang Sect and the Five Poison Sect confessed completely.

So Chen Jie couldn’t understand how a woman who was duped in hiring an assassin could suddenly find an assassin with such professional reliability?

He nearly let her succeed today.

If not Yu Man’er, then who? Could it be the Shanxi Prince Qi Mansion behind her?

But the news traveled too fast. In just over ten days, the news reached from Hubei to the Shanxi Prince Qi Mansion, and then the mansion could dispatch someone to kill him. That efficiency would be astonishing.

But aside from Prince Qi Mansion, Chen Jie really couldn’t think of anyone else he had offended.

Chen Jie was baffled, but alert, sensing that he surely had a dark shadow watching over him.

Wait a bit; his intelligence system was on cooldown for ten days, with nine days remaining. Otherwise, Chen Jie would have used the system to investigate the assassin’s background.

Thus, Chen Jie stayed with Su Yunjin until evening.

Su Yunjin slowly awoke, seeing Chen Jie holding her hand by the bedside, a smile appeared: ”Husband.”

”Wife, you’re awake?”

Su Yunjin said, ”Husband, you’ve been with me for a long time, haven’t you? Your body must be numb.”

Chen Jie stretched and laughed: ”Haha, it’s fine, here, drink this medicine dissolved from the Tai Sui Pill. Master Bai said drinking it, you’ll recover significantly in a day or two.”

Su Yunjin replied, ”Alright.”

Then she drank the entire medicinal soup under Chen Jie’s gaze, handed the empty bowl back, and said, ”Husband, I’ve finished, go rest, just call Hong Mei and the others.”

Chen Jie said, ”I’m not tired. Today, I’ll keep you company.”

Chen Jie stated this, and Su Yunjin smiled sweetly: ”Husband, you have important matters to attend to, don’t be held back by emotional affairs.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”You are my important matter; what do emotional affairs matter, what could be greater than my wife’s safety?”

”Husband... speaking such embarrassing words again.”

Hearing Chen Jie’s words, Su Yunjin blushed red, looked at Chen Jie shyly.

At this moment, Chen Jie embraced Su Yunjin, saying, ”Wife, you’ve suffered.”

Hearing this, Su Yunjin looked up at Chen Jie, a happy smile appearing: ”Not at all...”

...

A wordless night passed; the next morning,

Chen Jie was having a simple breakfast in the living room, eating porridge with pickles.

It was then that Si Xi arrived, seeing Chen Jie: ”Gang Leader.”

Chen Jie glanced up at Si Xi: ”Oh, Si Xi, have you had breakfast?”

Si Xi replied, ”I have, Gang Leader, our bait has been laid out.”

Chen Jie responded, ”Mmh, very well, how is Yelu Mansion today?”

Si Xi answered, ”Yelu Mansion’s procurement has left the house, heading straight for the dock.”

The procurement from Yelu Mansion goes to the docks daily to buy the freshest fish, returning to prepare sashimi for Yelu, and today was no different.

Chen Jie said, ”Very good.”

Having said that, Chen Jie continued eating the pickles, everything proceeding according to his plan.

At that time, near Mianshui County, at the Li Family Port, fishermen were docking one after another.

The procurement from Yelu Mansion is a Fatty named Mulan. Although in the Mansion, he’s just a Lower Class servant, once outside, he’s the famous Master Tu.
