Chapter 1403: Chapter 1403: Searched everywhere, couldn’t find it!

And outside the door, the people who had been arranged were all sleeping like dead pigs, completely unaware of when their weapons had slipped from their hands to the ground.

The woman first circled around the room, then fixed her gaze on the bed, inching closer step by step.

The short dagger in her hand exuded threads of chill, casting the room in an especially cold and ominous atmosphere, causing an involuntary shiver.

"Brother Molian, what’s happening here, she... isn’t breathing, is she?" Lin Caisang stood outside a window, observing as Madam Chen slowly approached Grand Old Madam Chen’s bed.

Yet, even Lin Caisang, an outsider, could sense that Madam Chen at this moment showed no signs of breath, appearing exactly like a corpse!

"Shh!"

Sui Zimo placed a finger to his lips, motioning Lin Caisang to be silent.

But it was a step too late, as soon as Lin Caisang spoke, Madam Chen inside the room had already noticed the noise, glaring at the narrowly opened window with a fierce expression.

Immediately after, Sui Zimo embraced Lin Caisang around the waist and swiftly whisked her away from the window.

The moment they leapt into the air, Lin Caisang saw the originally intact window shatter into pieces, and Madam Chen, who had just been standing by Grand Old Madam Chen’s bed, now brandishing a short dagger and jumping out through the window.

"Ah... Ahh!"

The short dagger was aimed directly at them, slicing through the air.

Sui Zimo released his grip, pushing Lin Caisang to the side, and drew his longsword, striking against Madam Chen’s dagger with a shrill clashing sound.

Madam Chen was repelled by the force of Sui Zimo’s blow, stumbling back several paces, her back against the wall by the window.

But even knowing she was no match for Sui Zimo, there was not a hint of fear on Madam Chen’s face, as she continued to attack with her dagger fiercely.

Each thrust was executed with extreme ferocity.

"What’s going on?"

"What’s the situation, is that the lady? It really is her."

Shortly after, the sounds of the fight awakened the servants, who ran over one after another.

A few carried lanterns, illuminating the area, and they saw the woman in white, with disheveled hair, who was none other than Madam Chen Mo Tong.

Grand Old Madam Chen too had awoken, clad in a dark robe, and with the assistance of the old servant, she took an indirect route to the scene, followed by her husband, Grand Old Master Chen.

"See, I told you so, it was this woman who killed our grandson!"

She grinded her teeth while staring at Madam Chen, eyes bloodshot with hatred, as if she wished to tear a piece of flesh from her body.

"That knife, it’s the one I saw!"

Her pupils contracted as she pointed at the dagger in Madam Chen’s hand, screaming shrilly.

She had seen Madam Chen use that very dagger to kill her grandson before, and afterwards, she never saw it again, even though Mo Tong had been captured on the spot and had no chance to hide the dagger.

But not being able to find it meant just that; she ordered the servants to search the entire Chen Family residence, to no avail!

At that time, she was truly almost driven to death by rage.

Now, finally seeing the dagger once more, she could confirm that what she had said before was true.

"Shut your mouth!"

Grand Old Master Chen glared at her.

"What are you all waiting for, go help now!"

He bellowed at the servants who were just staring at Madam Chen’s fight with Sui Zimo.
