Outside the Chen Residence, Lin Qing stood atop a treetop as he quietly watched. A grave expression appeared in the eyes of this Chen Residence, which had suddenly started to act with martial law.

Just now, within the Chen Residence, a miserable shriek rang out. Lin Qing had also heard it. If she hadn't guessed wrongly, it was precisely the driver, Zhao San, who was driving the carriage.

Lin Qing didn't pay much attention to Zhao San's death. Life was like this, and for those who didn't care, the experiences they'd had would only cause a slight ripple in their hearts and they wouldn't stir up too much emotion.

However, this Zhao San was still one of his men, and being killed in such a manner caused Lin Qing to involuntarily clench her fists. The loathing she had for Chen He deepened by quite a bit.

Without thinking about it, Lin Qing was still more concerned about where Lin Susu was hidden by Chen He. Currently, the Chen Mansion was under martial law, and patrolling warriors were frequently seen, and there were also hidden sentries. Even though Lin Qing was a talented warrior of the second level, it was still impossible for her to infiltrate without stopping.

However, although the road ahead was filled with thorns, Lin Susu had to be saved, and she had to be saved. Otherwise, how could Lin Qing's heart be at peace?

Clenching her fist, Lin Qing took a deep breath and jumped down from the treetop, heading towards the Chen Residence. With Lin Qing's current strength, even if she was discovered, she was confident that she would be able to escape.

The night star was high in the night sky, reflecting the gentle moonlight. Under the moonlight, Lin Qing's figure could be vaguely seen as she swiftly flew past. In a short moment, she had arrived at the Chen Residence's courtyard wall.

With a tap of her feet, Lin Qing's figure appeared like a nimble ape climbing up the courtyard wall.

Upon entering the courtyard, Lin Qing could feel a heavy atmosphere permeating the air, carrying a hint of killing intent.

A cold shiver ran down Lin Qing's spine. She knew that Chen He had already known she would be here. He had definitely laid in wait for her to take the bait.

Although she knew this, Lin Qing still had to sneak over because Lin Susu was too important to Lin Qing.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing couldn't help but clench her fists. She gritted her teeth and bitterly said, "Don't let me find a chance, or else I'll definitely let you have a good time!"

At this moment, light footsteps came from not too far away.

Lin Qing's heart trembled, not daring to be negligent. With a flash, she hid behind a fake mountain.

Three men in tight clothes holding sharp blades walked over from afar, their bodies exuding a strong and valiant aura.

Seeing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but furrow her brows. Although Lin Qing could easily kill these three, it would still be somewhat difficult if she didn't want to cause a commotion.

And if he created such a commotion, his traces would be exposed. At that time, he would have no choice but to retreat. How could Lin Qing be willing to give up?

Although the three of them were on patrol, they were not able to find any trace of Lin Qing. Lin Qing could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

After the three of them left, Lin Qing appeared from behind the rock garden and ran towards a woman's building in the Chen Residence.

There was no need to mention how cautious he was on the way. With every step he took, Chen Residence had to take precautions. Finally, after much effort, they arrived at this feminine building.

As she reached this point, Lin Qing could faintly hear the voice of a woman. Her voice was extremely sweet, yet it sounded somewhat coquettish, as though she was putting on an act.

Reaching this point, Lin Qing's figure leaped and she entered a house within the inner chamber.

What caught Lin Qing's eyes were five beauties. There were dainty and exquisite women, as well as an imperial lady's demeanor. It could be said that their styles were all different, but each of them had their own strengths.

As she read up to this point, Lin Qing felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart, "This Chen He is really enjoyable."

Needless to say, Lin Qing understood that these women were all Chen He's concubines. Among them, some were robbed by Chen He, some were bought from other places by Chen He, some hated Chen He to the bone, and some had only had Chen He in their hearts.

Amongst the four of them, one of them was a lady dressed in the attire of an official. Seeing the faint fear in the eyes of the other four, one could tell that she definitely had a high position in the Chen Residence.

This girl was called Chen Ni`er. Because her hometown was troubled, she was tricked into the brothel. If it was any ordinary person who encountered this kind of situation, they would only be able to spend the rest of their life inside the brothel.

The first time Chen He passed by and redeemed her, he had naturally become Chen He's woman. And because of all that had happened to Chen Ni`er, she had been steadfast in her heart towards Chen He. Regardless of whether Chen He was only toying with her, Chen Ni`er's heart, was pounced onto Chen He's body.

"There's been a martial law in the manor for the past few days. Sisters, don't walk around if you have nothing to do." Chen Ni`er looked at the four sisters, her voice filled with sweetness.

"What is the reason for this? Are you trying to imprison us?" The voice of another female rang out. She was clad in a lotus dress, and her skin was white. She was extremely beautiful.

"The red clothed girl must be joking. Chen Lang treats you guys very well, so how could he imprison you guys? It's just that the mansion hasn't been safe recently, and Chen Lang issued this order because of your safety." Chen Ni`er smiled, but her eyes were filled with coldness when she looked at the red clothed person.

Originally, she was a young lady from a wealthy family. She was kidnapped by Chen He, who had a crush on her beauty, and her body was taken away by Chen He. Therefore, Ye Hong's hatred for Chen He could be said to be deep-seated.

However, how could a weak girl like her be a match for Chen He? Although she resented Chen He in her heart, in front of Chen He, she still needed to force herself to smile in order to please him.

Lin Qing had no idea about this, but she could tell that these women were not on good terms with each other.

Seeing all this, Lin Qing couldn't help but ponder. When Lin Qing made up her mind and was ready to take action, she unknowingly discovered that the full moon had already set and the sun had risen.

At such a moment, Lin Qing sighed in her heart. She had no choice but to give up questioning them and wait until night before making her decision.

With a flash, without the girls noticing, Lin Qing's silhouette flashed past, appearing in a woman's room.

In the inner room, Lin Qing's body slipped under a large bed that appeared to be rather flashy.

After entering the bed, Lin Qing immediately adjusted the Qi in her body, lowering her breathing to its lowest.

Lin Qing's goal was to hide under this bed for a day, wait until nighttime, then come out and interrogate those girls and see if they could find out any clues about Lin Susu.

As for why they were not moving now, it was because daylight had descended. Once they were exposed, it would not be easy for them to retreat, so they had to put up with it for now.
