Chapter 965

Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures.

Suddenly.

A sound of clashing weapons was heard from outside.

When Cheng Shifei, Haitang, and the others rushed out, they saw Grand Secretary Fu Tiecheng and several bodyguards already lying in a pool of blood.

Cheng Shifei and Guihai Yidao hurriedly took action, engaging the black-clad assassins in battle.

Taking advantage of the gap in their fighting, Haitang seized the opportunity to throw a handful of phosphorus powder at the leader, the assassin with the highest martial arts. The leader saw that things were going poorly and used his light-body technique to escape, while Haitang followed the trail left by the assassin leader.

She chased all the way to the door of Duan Tianya and his wife's room.

The door suddenly opened, and Piaoxu walked out anxiously.

"Sister-in-law!" Haitang called out.

"Haitang!" Piaoxu grabbed Haitang's hand tightly.

"What's wrong?"

"Lang'er was taken away." Piaoxu was very flustered; Lang'er was the child of her and Duan Tianya.

She said that several ninjas had just broken in and taken her child, and Duan Tianya had already gone in pursuit, adding that if she hadn't crippled her own martial arts, she would definitely have been able to help at this time.

Haitang comforted her, saying that Lang'er had his own good fortune and would definitely be safe.

Piaoxu then asked Haitang what she was doing here.

Haitang said she had been tracking a ninja and arrived here, but the ninja's trail had vanished.

Upon hearing the word "ninja," Piaoxu's face changed drastically. She was very flustered, suspecting that it was people from the Yagyu Shin-kage school coming to avenge her father, Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami. When she said this, Piaoxu looked pitiful and very afraid.

Haitang told her not to overthink it and told her she would investigate everything. After speaking, Haitang helped Piaoxu into the room.

"Then I'll be going." Haitang said goodbye.

"You must be careful." Piaoxu said with thoughtful words.

Everything seemed very normal.

Both Haitang and Piaoxu were very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

Many viewers even started shipping them as a couple.

But on Earth, countless viewers re-watching this show would leave comments like "High energy ahead," "Don't dare to watch anymore," "Childhood trauma," "Haitang, promise me, don't look back, okay? 563," "Run fast," and so on.

Haitang was seen walking toward the door after saying goodbye to Piaoxu, but her expression seemed to be thinking about something. When she reached the door, she stopped, her eyes widening, as if there were tears, as if she had guessed something.

To verify her guess, a long silver needle appeared in her hand.

In an instant, the silver needle flew from her fingertips, accurately hitting the wick of the candle in the room, extinguishing it.

The room was instantly plunged into darkness.

Along with the darkness, a wind blew, stirring Piaoxu's hair. She turned to look at Haitang, and the previous fluster, fear, and pitiful look all disappeared, replaced by cold eyes and the very conspicuous phosphorus powder on her icy, pretty face.

The phosphorus powder emitted a faint white glow in the dark night, like stars in the sky, beautiful and dreamy, but it made countless viewers' hair stand on end, a chill rushing from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!

At this moment.

The comments suddenly became very quiet, and for the first time since the show started, it entered a blank screen state.

Countless people were in disbelief.

Countless people were shocked beyond measure.

No one had expected that Piaoxu, who had crippled her own martial arts and married Duan Tianya, was also a great villain!

But they didn't know that the tear-jerking nuclear bomb was entering a countdown, about to detonate!
