My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 979 - 978: Brought Suffering Upon Themselves (1/2)

"You guys, at two in the morning, make sure to burn this packet of powder and blow the smoke inside. Be careful, understand?" the butler said to the two men.

The two men glanced at the drug in their hands, a fierce glint flashing in their eyes, and nodded slightly.

They weren't ordinary servants, but old hands who had been working with the butler for many years. During this time, they had done many unspeakable acts and were quite adept at it.

The butler nodded slightly, feeling confident about these two subordinates.

After the butler left, the two men stood quietly in the yard waiting. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The moon rose higher, its brilliance cascading down, enveloping the villa in a layer of silver light.

Nighttime is usually very quiet, like a corpse, which doesn't create any noise.

The two servants who were guarding outside preferred dead people because they don't cause trouble or boss them around.

The two glanced at the time; it was two in the morning, time to act.

They expertly forced open a part of the window, wrapped up the powder, then ignited it with a lighter.

...

In the basement.

Yang Chen muttered gloomily, "Night Fire, do you think those two have lost their minds? Using a lighter in the middle of the night, afraid we wouldn't know?"

Night Fire also wore a look of embarrassment, feeling his intelligence insulted after being on edge for so long.

Yang Chen glanced outside and said, "This powder probably isn't simple. Go handle it."

"Yes!" Night Fire immediately went to the window, and silently took action.

The basement was dark, with deep blue glass further obscuring the view inside.

So, Night Fire found a sealed box and covered the window with it.

...

Outside the window.

The two men covered their noses and lay on the ground, waiting for the powder to burn out.

However, they saw wisps of smoke not going in but coming out instead.

"Old Wang, blow on it, why isn't it going inside?" one of them said.

Old Wang immediately took a deep breath and blew inside the window.

The air flowed continuously.

Unfortunately, when air blows into a narrow sealed space, it pushes out the air originally inside, meaning the poison gas inside was all forced out.

"What are you doing!" The other person glared, intending to flee.

Unfortunately, he just stood up and felt weak, a burning sensation coming from his organs.

"Old Li!" Old Wang saw this and rushed to support Old Li, but when he paused, a cloud of smoke gushed into his nostrils.

Old Wang's heart jolted, wanting to escape, but it was already too late.

His legs buckled, pressing down on Old Li.

They both widened their eyes as blood poured from their orifices.

Before dying, they couldn't understand why they got poisoned themselves when they were supposed to poison others.

Isn't this the legendary "losing the rice while stealing the chicken"?

Except this time, it was their lives they lost.

Noticing smoke starting to leak out from the gap, Night Fire knew it couldn't hold much longer and said, "That should do it!"

At that moment, there was a click from above.

Yang Chen had unlocked the door.

"Let's go!" Yang Chen's voice came from outside.

Night Fire immediately slipped away, disappearing from the basement.

The basement door closed, completely isolating the toxic gas inside.

They entered the living room, where only the dim ambiance lights were on, all other lights were out. The living room was empty, making Yang Chen and Night Fire's presence seem somewhat abrupt.

Yang Chen appeared unconcerned, yawning and said, "Let's sleep on the sofa!"

With that, Yang Chen unceremoniously lay down on a sofa and began to sleep.

Night Fire, naturally, didn't stand on ceremony and slept as well.

...

Two-thirty in the morning.

Bam!

Wei Xueqing slammed the courtyard door shut, her face frosty as she returned to the house, yanking the main door shut.

Sword Edge and Mastiff shivered, exchanging glances with bitter expressions.

They knew Wei Xueqing was in an angry mood now and didn't dare to provoke her.

"What exactly are those two up to?" Wei Xueqing asked Sword Edge and Mastiff coldly.

They shook their heads in perfect synchronization, saying, "No idea!"

Wei Xueqing ground her teeth in fury.

It was her second night in Ancheng, yet Yang Chen left without a word, and it was now past two in the morning and still no sign of him!

Does it mean she's not important?

"If he's not coming, then I'm not sleeping either! I'll wait here!" Wei Xueqing's stubborn streak kicked in, sitting angrily on the sofa, she turned on the TV and waited!

They exchanged helpless looks.

After a while, Mastiff whispered into Sword Edge's ear, "Brother Feng, why don't you call and ask?"

Sword Edge glared at Mastiff and whispered a scolding: "What do you know, the boss must have gone to see his wife. If he hasn't come back by now, what do you think he's doing? If I call him now, isn't that asking for trouble!"

Mastiff shivered at the realization, awkwardly smiled, and refrained from persuading Sword Edge to call.

The night passed in waiting.

Cloud Mist Mountain.

Five in the morning.

The butler and servants woke up and began their day's work.

But when the butler got up, he glanced down from the top floor and froze, his eyes widening.

He saw Yang Chen and Night Fire lying on the living room sofa.

The first thought that flashed through the butler's mind was cursing Old Wang and Old Li as unreliable, for not disposing of the bodies after dealing with them.

But his second thought had him trembling: they weren't dead, they were actually asleep!

Realizing this possibility, the butler frantically rushed down to the first floor without even changing clothes.

Seeing their steady breathing, the butler trembled with rage, wishing he could kill them right then.

But he knew, with so many people watching, he couldn't make a move.

Since those two were fine, where were Old Wang and Old Li?

Suddenly, cries came from outside.

"Ah! Old Wang! Old Li!"

"Old Wang! Old Li, what's wrong with you?"

"Call an ambulance!"

Someone shouted.

Upon hearing this, the butler's heart skipped a beat, and he rushed outside.

Once in the yard, the butler saw several people gathered by the basement window.

Moving closer, he saw Old Wang and Old Li lying on the ground, their bodies already stiff!

"How... is this possible!" The butler trembled, noticing the unburnt powder by the window.

Did these two not deliver the smoke inside, but inhaled it themselves?

But the butler quickly dismissed this idea, knowing his subordinates weren't so stupid.

There was only one possibility left: Yang Chen and Night Fire had set them up!
