It would not be her fault if she had sufficient evidence to show that Yu Yan’er was timid and afraid of trouble, which caused this operation to go wrong.
“No.” Ling Long shook her head. Her face paled when she recalled that none of them had returned.
“What do you mean? Tell me in detail!” Xue Yingyue was perplexed and scowled at Ling Long.
Ling Long took a deep breath and replied, “Old Madam, none of our people have returned. We found Miss Yu’s carriage, but it was empty. There was nothing but blood on the ground.”
“What?!” Xue Yingyue was shocked.!!
No one returned, and the ground was covered in blood. Wouldn’t that mean that not a single person she had dispatched was still alive?
“How many shadow guards did Qian Jiyun send that woman? I sent so many people, but she could still escape?” she asked in disbelief.
She knew Ling Long could not answer her question. Everyone had died. There was no answer to this question unless she asked Qian Jiyun.
But how could she dare to ask him?
Besides, Qian Jiyun should have a limited number of shadow guards, right? The capital was not his territory. His people should have all been assigned to more important tasks.
How could he spare his men to protect An Jiuyue?
“He’s really generous!”
The shadow guards were supposed to protect Qian Jiyun, but he had sent them to An Jiuyue. Was he not afraid that someone would catch him off guard and attack him?
As expected, that woman was very important to Qian Jiyun.
However, it was not the time to think about this. She had to think about how to explain this to her superiors.
She had promised them that she would capture An Jiuyue during this operation. The people she had dispatched were skilled assassins. They would not be at a disadvantage against Qian Jiyun’s shadow guards. She was confident about that.
However, none of them ever returned.
So many people had died. She had to give them an explanation. But how?
Just as she was racking her brains to think of a way to push the blame away, a miserable scream erupted from the courtyard. She frowned and looked at Ling Long unhappily.
“Go and see what’s going on.”
What’s causing all the shouting? Is Ling Er punishing the servants again?
If she wanted to do that, she could have dragged them out. Why does she have to disturb me?
“Get Ling Er to scram and discipline the servants elsewhere. What is she doing! She can’t even handle a small matter!”
“Yes, Old Madam,” Ling Long replied and turned to rush out to check on the situation.
She did not think Ling Er would be so insensible as to punish a servant at this time. Something else must have happened.
Sure enough, when she rushed into the courtyard, she saw the corpses lying on the ground for all to see. They had died miserably. The servants were so frightened by the sight that they started retching.
Even she, who was used to seeing corpses, felt her hair stand on end, and she nearly vomited.
“This… This…”
Her lips trembled, and she could not say a word.
She was sure that these were the people that Old Madam had dispatched to capture An Jiuyue.
