Tha assassination mission was scheduled at midnight. The apprentices started to prepare for it early: putting on their night suits, wiping their sabers, and testing the use of their knockout powder drugs.
The killer leader Shangguan Yushi simply treated Slave Huan as a humble handyman and ordered him to do all sorts of drudgery. For example, she made him clean the snow in the yard, and wash the utensils in all the rooms. She would take every opportunity to mock at his unfruitful return.
Gu Shenwei did not say anything about his suspicions, because his suggestion would only bring about an adverse effect in front of Shangguan Yushi. He was wiping a closet in one of the rooms at around noon when Maid Lotus finally found a chance to come inside alone.
"Listen, tonight's assassination is a trap."
