Chapter 437

A woman's sixth sense is always very accurate, especially when danger approaches, people with great luck will have a feeling.

When they returned to the guesthouse, Shen Man inadvertently glanced at the direction of the counter.

Strange, it wasn't even eight o'clock yet, why was that receptionist asleep?

"Do the guests need anything?"

Suddenly, a strange face stood up from under the counter. The other party's expression was natural, and at first glance, it was the appearance of a good-natured person.

When Shen Man saw this person, her heart felt a bit uncomfortable. Strange, when did a newcomer come to the guesthouse?

She hadn't seen this middle-aged woman in the past few days.

"Who are you?"

"Oh, I'm the new receptionist. Fangfang isn't feeling well today, so I'm watching over it. Do the two of you need hot water?

I just poured two bottles, you can just take them up, saving you from going to the water room."

The middle-aged woman looked nervous, appearing as if she were worried about not doing a good job, making the guests dissatisfied, and affecting her work.

"Thank you."

Shen Man moved her nose calmly; a faint residual gas smell came from the woman.

For her as a doctor, that smell was not unfamiliar: ethanol.

Under what circumstances would an ordinary receptionist have ethanol on her?

Jiang Ye also smelled a strange odor, but didn't show it on his face, hugging the children a bit tighter.

Shen Man only took one thermos, saying one bottle was enough, and they would be able to drink hot water as soon as they returned to the room.

The couple exchanged glances tacitly and went upstairs calmly.

Until the footsteps faded away, the middle-aged woman put the accommodation register back into the drawer, revealing a smile of success.

She had received a secret letter in advance and knew she had been exposed, so she quickly withdrew from the Gu family.

It was almost a narrow escape; the next day the Gu family was taken away!

Then she secretly went back to her son's house, but through anti-reconnaissance awareness, she discovered that there were people watching around; her son was in trouble!

Burning with anxiety, she hadn't even contacted the organization before she was wanted!

Damn it, how was she exposed?

So she frequently disguised herself, dodging one wave of searches after another, and secretly contacted her own people, only to find out that the Yizhong stronghold where her son was had been discovered and wiped out!

Her son was arrested on the spot, and she didn't know where he was being held now.

And the person who caught her son, the leader, was an officer surnamed Jiang!

Their people found out that the other party had brought his wife and children to the Capital to travel, and didn't expect to discover the stronghold, so the series of things followed!

Damn it, where were there so many coincidences!

Sure enough, when she found the check-in register, she saw the name of this person's wife: Shen Man!

It was Gu Tingchen's former childhood sweetheart, the one replaced by his ex-wife!

Combined with what she knew about Gu Tingchen hiring people to retaliate against Jiang Ye, she speculated that everything was because Gu Tingchen hadn't wiped his butt clean, provoking Jiang Ye to come for revenge!

Truly a useless waste who fails more than he succeeds!

After figuring everything out, she had a new plan.

If she could kidnap this child surnamed Jiang without anyone knowing, it could serve as a hostage for her safe withdrawal!

As for her son, he wasn't involved in any core secrets, so his crime shouldn't be death.

After she safely withdrew, she would find an opportunity in a few years to fish her son out of prison.

After planning all this, she glanced at the clock on the wall.

Just wait for the other party to return to the room and drink that bottle of water; even one sip would be enough to drug them!

"Tap, tap, tap."

Jiang Ye opened the door, turned on the light, and locked the door from the inside.

The couple tacitly sent the two children into the space first.

Then, Shen Man took out the teacup, opened the kettle, poured the water in, and sniffed it.

"It seems like something was added inside. I suspect that the strange middle-aged woman has a problem."

"Hmm, I also feel that person has a problem; there is a smell of ethanol on the other party."

"Those who come are not good. Who is she? Why is she targeting us?"

"Not clear, but the other party has already made a move, so we can't sit and wait for death."

After the two discussed simply, they began to arrange the scene.

Jiang Ye unlocked the anti-theft bolt behind the door, and Shen Man sprinkled some oil under the only window in the room.

Then she poured half of the water in the cup into the washbasin.

Then she put the cup on the bedside table, creating an illusion that they had drunk the water and fallen into a coma.

The couple lay on the bed, blocked by pillows in the middle, looking like the figures of two children.

It was already October, the weather was turning cool, and it was a bit cold at night, so covering with a quilt was very normal.

After doing everything, the couple hugged the "children" and closed their eyes to rest, waiting quietly for the fish to take the bait.

After waiting for about two hours, Shen Man was so sleepy that she started yawning.

"Shh, it's here."

Jiang Ye reminded, continuing to hug his wife and children to sleep.

His hearing could probably hear the movement within a few meters. That kind of deliberately suppressed footsteps, but still with breathing movement, couldn't be hidden from his ears.

The person coming had some kung fu in their hands; only people who had practiced professionally could suppress their breathing to the extreme.

Shen Man's heartbeat accelerated at this moment, with some uncontrollable excitement.

Goodness, she had crossed into the book for so long, and this was the first time she had encountered such a situation; it was really quite exciting.

As for being afraid?

Nonono, with her man by her side, she wasn't afraid at all.

Sensing his wife's eager heartbeat, Jiang Ye couldn't laugh or cry.

Under normal circumstances, when encountering danger, shouldn't girls be afraid?

But his wife was different; not only was she not afraid, but she was even more excited.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Do the guests need hot water?"

The uninvited guest outside the door was knocking.

It was strange, why were they so persistent about delivering hot water?

Wouldn't it be better to change the reason?

Shen Man complained in her heart, but didn't make a sound, pretending to sleep; she was a professional.

Jiang Ye changed his posture, protecting his wife and children firmly in his arms with an absolute protective stance.

What was the purpose of the person outside the door?

It would be revealed soon.

Once they entered this door, the other party wouldn't be able to escape.

Wang Ma outside the door had no idea that the people inside were awake.

Through the crack in the door, she could see that the lights inside were on. The lights were on, but no one responded; what did that mean?

It meant that the people inside had fainted; her drugged boiled water had worked!

Then, she took out the spare key and unlocked the door.

Click! With a sound, the door opened.

For this, the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.

She thought what kind of powerful figures lived inside; she didn't expect they wouldn't even close the anti-theft lock. How could such arrogant people reach the position of officer?

Sure enough, China was destined to perish; only her British Empire could rule the world!

Proudly, she pushed open the door and scanned the room with contempt.

Seeing the water cup on the bedside table with more than half drunk, and then looking at the family of four already unconscious on the bed, the smugness in her heart could no longer be controlled.

Click, she closed the door, then walked toward the bed unhurriedly...
