Chapter 1290: Chapter 1290: Midnight Assassination

After reading, Wu Ding wore a cold smile. He thought it was unexpected that Jiang Xue, a woman, could be so fierce; surely Lina was too incompetent.

At that moment, he had no idea that Lina hadn’t even made a move before being put in prison by Jiang Xue.

Regarding Wu Ding’s plot to assassinate her, Jiang Xue was unaware. However, Mr. Lan got news that Liu Guifang’s mastermind might target the old chief.

Thus, Mr. Lan, while strengthening the old chief’s protection, also dispatched more personnel to investigate Liu Guifang’s mastermind.

Following Liu Guifang’s line, they quickly traced back to Lina. Knowing she was put into prison, they then checked the prison.

Mr. Lan’s people interrogated Lina overnight but gathered no information. Because, like Liu Guifang, Lina stubbornly refused to speak.

Seeing Lina remain silent, Mr. Lan was considering asking Jiang Xue for help, when one of his men reported that Lina met someone before going to prison.

Consequently, Mr. Lan immediately ordered his men to trace the lead and find that person’s whereabouts. Wu Ding’s public identity was a lawyer, and quite a prominent one at that.

Therefore, Mr. Lan soon targeted Wu Ding, secretly investigating everything about him. However, Wu Ding proved to be much more cunning than Lina and others; after a long search, not much was discovered.

Meanwhile, the people Wu Ding sent to assassinate the old chief and Jiang Xue simultaneously appeared.

The night was dark, and the wind was ideal for killing. Wu Ding chose such a night to facilitate his people in action.

After a few hours of work, Jiang Xue had dinner and went straight to her room to rest. As for Little Reunion, she entrusted him again to her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

While deeply asleep, Little Fox’s voice rang in Jiang Xue’s ear, waking her up.

"Woman, woman, wake up, wake up!" Little Fox shouted loudly. Fortunately, despite being tired, Jiang Xue was relatively alert; Little Fox’s call woke her up, and she groggily asked, "What’s wrong?"

"There’s a killing intent!" Little Fox uttered three words, which startled Jiang Xue, and she immediately opened her eyes, asking, "What’s going on?"

"Woman, I don’t know what’s going on either. But I feel a killing intent approaching this way." Little Fox had just sensed it and didn’t know the specific situation yet.

"Understood, keep a watch for me and see what’s happening!" Jiang Xue said while climbing out of bed, quickly dressing, waiting for Little Fox’s latest update.

At the same time, Little Fox, after waking Jiang Xue, extended its spiritual power outward, keeping track of the assassins’ movements at all times.

"Woman, they’re fifty meters away."

"Forty meters!"

"Thirty meters!"

"Twenty meters!"

"Ten meters!"

"It’s bad. They’ve approached and are ready to climb through the window and balcony."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue’s face turned grim. Apparently, the enemy was attacking in two groups. This made it difficult for her to act since she was alone and could only manage one side.

"What do I do?" Jiang Xue thought while swiftly reacting, heading directly towards the window.

She knew that if the enemy were about to climb up, they would reach the window first.

Sure enough, as Jiang Xue reached the window, the assassin also climbed up. Seeing the person coming up, Jiang Xue didn’t hold back, and she struck first.

She swung her palm, imposing and majestic.
