1314: A Thousand Peonies Bloom
Proof

Wait up! What does this Feng mean we're going to infiltrate Liu's residence? Doesn't that mean we're going to go up the road? (meaning climbing the wall and going up to the roof of the house). Hem... That means we'll move like ninjas. Inner Shuwan with his hand while holding his chin.

“How will we penetrate the defense there?” zhang asked cautiously. “Many guards pass by there. Is there a way to keep our steps undetected?”

“Hem... That can be arranged. We certainly don't take the usual road. We'll go up the road. Move like a shadow bodyguard that can jump from roof to roof,” Feng explained.

I've guessed. Looks like this is gonna be exciting. But... What would happen to Han Ji and his sister if the Liu family was properly arrested after obtaining the evidence? Shuwan became a dilemma. On the other hand he had to finish his mission immediately, but on the other hand he also pityed Han Ji and his sister.

“ Just in case, I have prepared some items that we will bring when sneaking. Ordinary smoke bombs, as well as smoke bombs mixed with dope,” Feng said as he took out the items he had prepared. “Middle of the night is the right time to launch the action. When everyone is asleep, we go directly to it.”

Shuwan who had been thinking about Han Ji and his sister also dissolved in his daydream. “Feng, there's something I want to talk to you about. Can we just talk four eyes?” shuwan pinta.

Feng tilted his head. He is confused by Shuwan's request. “Alright,” in short after weighing Shuwan's request.

Shuwan led her into another room. Zhang, Jiao, and Yu Hao were still overwhelmed with curiosity due to Shuwan's mannerisms.

“Actually, what does Shuwan want to say? Why do they have to speak four eyes?” chirped Yu Hao with a curious face.

“Entahlah. We can ask Shuwan later,” Zhang chimed in.

“She only wants to speak four eyes with Feng, how will she respond to us later?” chirped Yu Hao with his lips

“Already, Yu Hao. That's when Shuwan had something important that only he could tell Feng. As his friend, we should trust him, right?” Jiao mediates.

Shuwan, what are you really planning? Zhang's inner being was also plagued with a sense of alignment.

Shuwan and Feng finally came out after about 30 minutes of talking four eyes in a closed room and separated from his three friends. Shuwan's face was disappointed after talking to Feng. Without saying a word, he went straight to his room.

“I'll get ready and change clothes,” Shuwan chirped as he passed them all there.

“S-Shuwan, wait for me!” Jiao ran after Shuwan to the room.

What the hell is going on? Why does Shuwan look angry and disappointed? Zhang is intrigued by the changes that are happening to Shuwan.

“You guys get ready too. We'll be leaving in a minute.” Said Feng breaking the silence between them. He looked out the window and let out a long sigh, waiting for his men to finish preparing.

Inside the room, Jiao becomes awkward to reprimand Shuwan. Until he finally emboldened himself.

“Shuwan, what really happened? Your mood looks bad,” said Jiao trying to liven up the atmosphere.

“Nothing. Are you done changing? If we come out,” Shuwan tries to end the conversation.

“A-ah.. Ja. I'm done,” replied Jiao. The atmosphere was so awkward, I was worried.

Shuwan and Jiao came out of his room, and Zhang and the others were already there. No usual conversation when gathering. The atmosphere became quiet, even when going on a mission.

After staying for a long time, finally the awaited time arrived.

“We'll leave through the back wall. There is a quiet place because it is a plantation area. Stay alert,” Feng directed their first move.

Quickly everything departed. Like a ninja crawling through his skin at night. There was no other sound apart from their heartbeats, exhales, and footsteps.

Shuwan was still struggling with his thoughts, he was still thinking about his conversation with Feng earlier.

Flashback...

“Feng, if later the Liu family is finally captured by the government, can you free Han Ji and his sister?” shuwan pinta.

Feng was surprised to hear it. He looked at Shuwan sharply. “What do you mean? Heh... How could I just free them?”

“Fire is responded by fire, of course it will burn more fire. So is hatred. If you can't let go of Han Ji and his sister, how different are you from them?” Shuwan chimed in on Feng's words.

Feng laughed, his right palm covering half of his face. “It's only been a few days that you've known her, been so close to you? Well, you begged for him. Shuwan, have you fallen in love with him?” Feng looked back at Shuwan sharply and nearby.

“They are innocent, the master is guilty. So please don't punish them. Then the matter of love, all my life up to this point, I could never feel it. So that I have never had a special relationship with any man other than being in touch with work,” Shuwan said.

Shuwan shook his head and narrowed his eyes. “You're so stubborn, Feng! Later you will surely regret it,” Shuwan said as he walked out leaving Feng in the room.

Flashback...

It did not feel like they had finally reached the outer wall of Liu's residence. One by one they jumped onto the roof, and looked for the warehouse.

Their eyes were always on guard to understand the guarding situation that was there. After the situation felt safe and deserted from the guard, they jumped into the yard in front of the warehouse.

They immediately went to the door of the barn. Suddenly a guard came across and caught them. “Who are you? What do you want to do -“ said the man who was cut off after Zhang hit his neck until he collapsed.

After successfully outsmarting the lock of the warehouse, they entered and sealed the guard. His hands and feet were tied, his mouth was also smothered. Do not forget to take sleeping pills as well.

With a sneak, they tried to find the key to enter the secret room. Uncover the closet, move the furniture, to fumble the walls of the warehouse.

Jiao who was focused on feeling the wall, suddenly her hand pressed a brick, “E-eh..” Jiao.

The wall opened, forming a secret entrance. “Surely the place is inside,” Feng said. “Then, let's go in!”

“Everything, stay alert,” Zhang warned.

They entered the room whose door was behind the wall. “So like this secret room apparition?” said Yu Hao who was amazed by the sight before his eyes at this moment.

“We better hurry to find it, this place is quite spacious and a lot of goods. It must not be easy to find it,” Shuwan said.

Everything splits. Zhang looked in the boxes arranged on the shelves. Jiao focused on the pile of books. Yu Hao looked for it in the ceramic jars that were there. Feng looked for her in another closet. As for Shuwan, he focused on the study table that was there.

Such an item, it must be in a secret place. In drama or film, it is usually placed in the drawer of the study table. I'd better make sure of it myself. Shuwan tried to pull the drawer that was on the study table. It's locked! As expected, there must be something important here.

Shuwan pokes the drawer lock, pulling it after it opens. A book without a title? Pretty freaky. Shuwan opened sheet by sheet the book he found in the drawer. Turns out this is... Shuwan stopped reading sheet by sheet the contents of the book.

“I found it,” Shuwan said as he showed the book.

Feng immediately approached Shuwan and grabbed the book. He was surprised to see the contents, “I-this... Apparently the Liu family is working with the enemy to fight the government. He became a spy to provide information. The government will not forgive them. The death penalty, of course they receive,” said Feng.

“This is strong evidence. This book is a collection of archived letters. There's a wet seal too. This evidence is valid and legally recognized. No one will be able to dodge it,” Feng said.

“Because of the evidence we have obtained, it is better to leave this place immediately before anyone realizes it,” pinta Zhang on his friends.

Shuwan and the others immediately left from there, letting the guard remain inside the warehouse, and locking him from the outside.

Just finished re-locking the warehouse, suddenly four guards came back to catch them.

"What are you guys doing?" yelled one of them.

"Great!" without further ado, Feng threw a smoke bomb with an anesthetic extract at the guards.

When the bomb explodes and emits smoke, with a loop they go and disappear like a flash of light.

The guards coughed, their eyes blurred, and one by one they fell unconscious due to the drug effects of the smoke bomb.

Arriving at Feng's residence, Shuwan and the others instantly changed and burned the clothes they had just worn to sneak in. Once again they gathered in the middle room.

“Day is almost dawn, what will we do next?” Zhang asked excitedly. At least we'll be relieved of this task once it's over. Then you can go back to the real journey.

“I will go to court with this evidence. Moreover, today you will no longer need to go to Liu's residence. I will ask one of the bodyguards to send Han Ji,” a license, Fengying said. His glance was blank at a glance no. I don't know what really bothers her.

“Let me alone write the letter,” pinta Shuwan.

A moment Feng was silent, “Alright. Just so you don't say what we're gonna do to his family. I really want to make him shocked like having a heart attack,” Feng said with satisfaction read on the look on his face.

“You just calm down. I just wanted to say a farewell sentence to her,” Shuwan immediately went to her room. He took out ink and paper to write the letter that Han Ji was going to give. I'm sorry, Han Ji. I can't do much for you. I was just carrying out my role to help Wu Fengying.
