Chapter 1688: An Ignominious Escape

Just as the crowd was growing impatient, someone shouted, "Look quickly, the lights are out at number 15!"

"Quick, rush in immediately."

"Shouldn’t we wait a bit longer?"

"Wait for what? What if some girls suffer because of it?"

"Exactly, there are a group of female students today who were tricked into coming."

"Let’s go quickly."

"Xiao Zhang, take two people and guard the back door. Don’t let anyone out. The rest, follow me!"

...

The female officer, known as Xiao Zhang, puzzledly said, "The lights are out, so why is there still light?"

Actually, she had already noticed the anomaly but couldn’t quite express it. She could only use a puzzled tone to remind Captain Li.

But her voice did not attract Captain Li’s attention. A group of over ten people swiftly and orderly crossed the street and surrounded courtyard number fifteen.

Xiao Zhang could only follow orders. Forget it, let’s take it step by step. Even if it’s not a party with blacked-out lights, once their possession of the 10,000 M Yuan is exposed, it would be enough to make them pay dearly. And as long as they are brought to the station, she would have her ways to deal with them.

Captain Li kicked the courtyard door open and charged in: "Don’t—"

But the word "move" was stuck on the tip of his tongue and couldn’t come out.

At this moment, in the living room on the first floor of the Lu family’s villa, the lights were indeed out. The young people attending the party were gathered together, singing a birthday song.

The stereo was playing soothing music.

In the center of the gathering was a young man, sitting there with a happy smile on his face. In front of him was a table, with a large cake placed on it, and twenty-six candles on the cake.

The candles were temporarily made by Mengyu, using Dragon Fat. Each was small and adorned with a touch of red, making them look very pretty.

She kept the flames very small, and with everyone gathered around them, the light they emitted was minimal.

But upon closer inspection, it was obvious they weren’t devoid of lights; they were candles. Moreover, they were singing a birthday song.

These people weren’t holding a rogue party; they were plainly having a birthday celebration!

Mengyu saw the woman carrying the magic artifact for shielding Divine Sense rushing toward the back door. She didn’t even wait for the opponent to make a move; she immediately fired the Divine Sensing Cone she had long gathered.

This woman wore a shapeshifting mask and carried a magic artifact for shielding Divine Sense. If this person was Jiang Huaiyu, she had walked right into a trap, and she deserved death.

If it wasn’t Jiang Huaiyu but she wore Jiang Huaiyu’s artifact, she was nevertheless Jiang Huaiyu’s accomplice, equally deserving of death!

Therefore, this time Mengyu was determined not to let anything slip, and before the opponent could act, once she rushed into the range of her Divine Sense Attack, she mercilessly shot out the Divine Sensing Cone!

This "Xiao Zhang," needless to say, was Jiang Huaiyu.

She had just reached the back door when she sensed imminent danger attacking her. She quickly dodged to the side. If it were a physical attack, she might have dodged it.

However, this time the assault was Mengyu’s Divine Sensing Cone, not an arrow that couldn’t turn; the bone-chilling Divine Sensing Cone followed the sway and still pierced into her Sea of Consciousness.

She only felt a sharp pain in her Sea of Consciousness, and if it weren’t for devouring the residual soul of the Great Power who intended to seize her body, causing her Divine Soul to mutate, she would have died instantly.

Realizing that tonight she couldn’t just fail to capture Mengyu but was also being plotted against, staying further would lead to a dead-end, she endured the pain of her split Divine Sense, threw out a sword, stepped on it, and made an ignominious escape.
