Chapter 853: Chapter 849: Old Acquaintance

As soon as he got out of bed, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Judging by the sound, it seemed like someone was climbing over the wall from the outside, not going out from the inside.

And another thing, the sound was completely off.

Although Wangcai has four legs, the sound he heard had seven or eight steps, which was impossible for Wangcai to have made.

With that thought, Chen Yang didn’t act rashly; instead, he carefully walked to the window and peeked through the gap to look into the courtyard.

With just one glance, he could see four shadows moving in the courtyard, seemingly searching for something.

"There really are thieves!"

Seeing the scene before him, Chen Yang immediately realized that there were thieves, most likely targeting the herb field.

Because in his courtyard, there was nothing but the herb field! What else were these shadows groping for in the courtyard?

Thinking of this, Chen Yang couldn’t sit still and immediately rushed out.

"What are you doing!"

Chen Yang suddenly charged out and shouted loudly!

The four shadows, who were initially somewhat calm, were startled by Chen Yang’s angry shout, each turning around in shock to look at Chen Yang and then preparing to flee.

But how could Chen Yang let these people escape?

"Came here and still want to leave? Do you think this is your home?"

Chen Yang disappeared from the spot in an instant and, in less than ten seconds, brought back all four shadows.

After catching them, Chen Yang didn’t have time to interrogate them about who they were and what they were doing.

They actually knelt down directly!

"Big brother, this wasn’t our choice, really, we had no option. If I didn’t come to steal the dog, they would have settled with me. I had no choice."

"Yes, big brother, please don’t raise your hand against us, we know we’re wrong."

"Please forgive us, it’s really not voluntary, spare us."

...

The four in black started begging for mercy upon kneeling, with a practiced manner.

And listening to their tone, Chen Yang found it somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere!

At first, Chen Yang had no impression, but upon hearing one of them mention Wangcai, he remembered.

"Stealing dogs? Are you the people from the last time from the Gu Family?" Chen Yang tentatively asked.

The four immediately nodded in unison.

"Yes, we are."

"Yes, big brother, you still remember."

"..."

Chen Yang was a bit speechless, not expecting it to really be them.

"Take off your masks so I can have a look," Chen Yang said.

"Okay... okay." The four were so frightened and panicked that they didn’t dare to defy Chen Yang’s words, and straightforwardly removed their masks.

Even though it was dark, Chen Yang could see clearly.

These four were exactly the ones he had encountered in the mountain previously.

It’s just that this time, there were fewer people, with several not present.

Seeing these "old acquaintances" again made Chen Yang laugh.

Coming to steal a dog in the middle of the night, the Gu Family could indeed pull something like that.

"Who sent you to steal the dog? No other mission besides dog stealing?" Chen Yang asked.

"None... no, apart from bringing the dog back, there’s no other mission." One person immediately answered.

The four had witnessed Chen Yang’s methods in the mountains, so they were extremely frightened of him.

No matter what Chen Yang asked, they almost answered without hesitation.

They weren’t foolish, knowing that they couldn’t withstand Chen Yang’s methods; why would they hold out and suffer?

Seeing how quickly and earnestly they were answering, Chen Yang couldn’t help but smile a little, feeling his anger subside slightly, with no intention to strike.

Moreover, he didn’t plan to press them question by question, but directly asked them to honestly confess why they wanted to steal the dog, who instructed them, and the purpose of stealing the dog.

All the information they knew, to be confessed completely.

The four, hearing these words, dared not conceal anything, and explained everything in succession.

The summary of their explanation had two points.

They were instructed by Gu Honghu, with two purposes for stealing the dog: one being that Wangcai’s nose was too strong, which was of great use to the Gu Family, so they wanted to steal him back.

The second was that Gu Honghu planned to send an assassin to deal with Chen Yang; if Wangcai was around, assassination couldn’t be implemented, so they were sent to steal the dog!

After listening to the four’s account, Chen Yang’s expression turned slightly serious.

Because after all this time, he had thought Gu Honghu had found a way to cure Gu Mingxuan, so there was no intention of further involvement.

Yet, what should come still came.

But it doesn’t matter; he is completely unafraid of the so-called assassin!

"He wants to send an assassin to deal with me? Do you know when?" Chen Yang pondered for a while, then continued to press the four kneeling in front of him.

"We know, but we’re not sure if it’s accurate..." someone replied.

"Not sure if it’s accurate, what does that mean?" Chen Yang frowned slightly.

"What we know is, take the dog away tonight, and an assassin will come tomorrow... but now the dog can’t be taken, so I’m not sure if they’ll come tomorrow." The person continued to answer tremblingly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately understood.

At the same time, a flash of light crossed his eyes as he came up with a solution.

Since they were sending an assassin, he might as well turn it to his advantage.

Chen Yang smiled faintly, then took out the familiar pill from his pocket and handed it to the four.

"You should know what these are, right?"

The four looked up at the elixir in Chen Yang’s hand, a trace of fear crossing their faces.

"Yes... we know, these are Gu pills." The four answered tremblingly.

Seeing their trembling manner, Chen Yang laughed again, as he could tell that these four were genuinely frightened of him.

They completely believed that the small pills Chen Yang held were Gu pills.

"Good that you know, each take one and follow my instructions if you want to live, otherwise don’t return." Chen Yang said coldly from a superior position.

Hearing Chen Yang’s words, the four immediately, without saying a word, reached out and took the "Gu pill" from Chen Yang’s hand and swallowed it.

These people were afraid of death; otherwise, they would have died last time and wouldn’t be here kneeling in front of Chen Yang speaking.

Seeing all four swallow, Chen Yang smiled slightly and said: "Today, when you go back, tell Gu Honghu that the dog is no longer in my house; where it went, you are not clear. Understood?"

Upon hearing this, the four immediately understood what Chen Yang intended to do.

However, they didn’t dare say a word of disagreement, so they nodded, indicating they understood.

"If you understand, then scram. Pay attention to your demeanor when you go back, or any slip-up, and your life won’t be safe!"

Having given his instructions and seeing them eat the Gu pill, Chen Yang decided not to teach these people any lesson.

After all, these guys were somewhat honest, and more importantly, if he beat them up, and left obvious marks, it wouldn’t be good.

Considering all these points, Chen Yang decided to let them go.

And these four, hearing Chen Yang tell them to scram, immediately got up and ran without another word.

In the blink of an eye, the four climbed the wall and disappeared into the night, escaping from his sight.
