章 229: Father and Son

On the same night when the Third Young Master escaped from the dungeons, Gu Shenwei was preparing to force Luo Ningcha to give up the wooden slab.

In the second half of that night, the chirpings of the crickets had gradually subsided. Gu Shenwei was sitting on his bed wearing the full night suit and was pondering about what was the best method to use for dealing with Luo Ningcha. Suddenly, a not-so-clear sound of a whistle was heard. This was a universal signal that was exchanged by the Stone Castle's killers.

Gu Shenwei leaped out of the house as soon as he heard this signal. Maid Lotus appeared almost at the same time as he did, and since it was her turn to protect the Missus, Gu Shenwei said, "You stay behind." He vaulted onto the rooftop and headed for the Inner Residence.
