Chapter 856: Chapter 852: Awaiting the Assassin

Chen Yang was slightly stunned because it was his first time experiencing such seamless hospitality—it was almost too perfect.

Someone came up to chat one after another.

"Being rich really has its perks."

Shaking his head, he sighed softly, then followed them in.

Not long after, under the guidance of a staff member, they entered a double private room.

Stepping into the room, Chen Yang noticed it wasn’t much different from a typical hotel room, except for the bed, which was somewhat unique.

Hotel rooms were for sleeping, but here, the setup was designed specifically for saunas.

Other than that, everything was similar: a reclining sofa, a wall-mounted TV, a bathroom, and so on.

"The setup is so complete! You could practically live here," Chen Yang joked with a chuckle but was caught off guard when the staff member replied.

"That’s actually possible, sir. Since you’re distinguished VIP clients, you can stay the night here."

"Huh? Really?"

Chen Yang was surprised; this was something he hadn’t expected.

"Yes, sir. Our facility operates 24/7, and this private room is rented on a daily basis, so you can absolutely spend the night here," the staff member explained earnestly, thinking Chen Yang was serious about staying overnight.

"What? Are you planning to stay the night now?" Yang Ruoxi teased him, giving him a sidelong glance.

Chen Yang immediately waved his hands. "No, no, no. I don’t plan to stay the night."

"Tch."

Yang Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him and sat down on one bed, while Chen Yang took a seat on the other.

Once they were seated, the staff member went to the bedside table between them, picked up the room’s exclusive tablet, and began selecting spa packages for them.

Of course, in a sauna, a massage was a must.

"Start me off with a Thai massage," Yang Ruoxi said first.

"Certainly, miss." Hearing this, the staff member quickly tapped a few options on the tablet, then turned to ask Chen Yang what he wanted to try.

This was Chen Yang’s first visit to such a place, so he wasn’t familiar with the options and felt a little awkward asking about them.

After all, he couldn’t let down Yang Ruoxi’s VIP status.

"I’ll have the same as her—start with a Thai massage," Chen Yang said.

"Certainly, sir." Hearing Chen Yang’s request, the staff member tapped the screen again, then respectfully said, "One moment, please," before leaving the room.

About two or three minutes later, two women with decent looks and well-proportioned figures came in carrying toolkits.

The first thing they saw was Chen Yang, since he was on the bed closer to the door.

When they looked at Chen Yang, their faces were full of smiles.

But when they caught sight of Yang Ruoxi, their expressions visibly froze—perhaps stunned by her breathtaking beauty, or for some other reason. Either way, there was an obvious change in demeanor.

"Uh... Good evening, sir and madam. Welcome to Supreme Sauna. We’ll be your attendants this evening." After a brief pause, they quickly collected themselves and greeted them warmly.

Though Chen Yang noticed the women’s subtle reaction, he didn’t dwell on it and went straight to lying down with Yang Ruoxi, letting them begin the service.

It had to be said, in an upscale place like this, you truly got what you paid for.

Not only was the ambiance and service top-notch, but even the massage techniques were far superior to the usual fare.

After an hour-and-a-half-long massage, Chen Yang felt totally rejuvenated.

His entire body felt relaxed, brimming with an indescribable comfort.

"Haha, how is it? Feels pretty good, huh? And that’s just the first treatment. We’ll try some other activities in a bit," Yang Ruoxi said with a sideways grin after the two massage technicians had left.

"Mhm, it’s definitely great," Chen Yang nodded, sincerely acknowledging the quality of the experience.

The two of them rested in the room for a short while before going on to try a range of other treatments.

Steam rooms, bone realignment, and various other indulgent services—everything was pure enjoyment.

By the end of it all, both of them felt exceptionally refreshed.

If it weren’t getting late, they might have gone for a second round.

"Let’s save it for next time. I’ve got things to take care of tonight, so let’s call it a day. We’ll grab a meal on the way out, then I’ll head back," Chen Yang said.

When Yang Ruoxi heard that Chen Yang had matters to attend to, she quickly tidied up her things and accompanied him to the front desk to settle the bill.

After paying, they drove to a nearby restaurant, sat down, and shared a meal together.

By the time they finished eating, it was already quite late. Although Chen Yang initially wanted to drive Yang Ruoxi home, seeing how late it was, he instead arranged a ride-sharing service for her during dinner to take her back.

Yang Ruoxi didn’t protest, knowing he was in a rush. She just waved goodbye to him as she got into the car and left.

After sending Yang Ruoxi off, Chen Yang quickly hopped into his own vehicle and sped toward Liuhe Village.

It was already past seven in the evening, and he was worried that his absence might create an opening for Gu Honghu’s assassins to strike.

Last night, he had played along with the situation, deliberately releasing the four dog thieves and orchestrating a leak for them to spread the word. Logically, this should prompt Gu Honghu’s assassins to act, so Chen Yang had to return early to prepare.

He was determined to take every single assassin down!

"Assassinate me? Get ready to pay dearly for the attempt!"

Chen Yang furrowed his brow, his intent to kill rising!

Tonight, if the assassins dared to come, there would be no return for them!

Chen Yang drove like the wind and reached Liuhe Village in under half an hour.

The moment he stepped out of the car, he immediately sensed something was off!

That feeling... as if a pair of cold eyes were fixed on him from the shadows!

But when he turned around to look, there was nothing there!

"They’re already here, aren’t they?"

Chen Yang knew this wasn’t just his imagination. This time, the Gu Family had sent real experts—otherwise, the concealment wouldn’t be this flawless!

A small smirk tugged at the corner of Chen Yang’s lips. Despite the arrival of skilled opponents, he didn’t feel nervous; in fact, he grew even more eager.

Experts? Perfect. Time to test the power of the Soaring Dragon Fist!

Pretending to act natural, Chen Yang walked into the house, casually shut the door, and headed to the backyard.

Once in the backyard, he ensured no one was watching before swiftly approaching the cow shed to talk to his trusty companions, Brother Diao and Wangcai.

If the assassins showed up tonight, neither of them was to act rashly unless he gave the signal!

After giving his instructions, Chen Yang turned to leave but hesitated when his gaze fell on Wangcai. Feeling a bit uneasy, he added another sentence.

"If you’re scared, just stay put and don’t come out. Got it?"

Whimper...

Hearing this, Wangcai let out a defeated whine and slunk back into his nook.

Seeing its forlorn behavior, Chen Yang felt a twinge of guilt, but now wasn’t the time for consolation.

He turned and went back inside the house.

Knowing the assassins would strike that night, he turned off all the lights early and sat quietly at the edge of the bed, waiting.
