Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2635 - 2571: Throw Him Into the Sea

"Sixth Young Master, this rain appears to be settling in for a while. Please have a seat and enjoy some tea. It's the temple’s clear brew; I hope it suits your palate, Sixth Young Master."

A Senior Master emerged, carrying tea and arranging the cups on the table.

"Thank you," Jiang Shiheng replied, his gaze drifting to the steaming cups. He inquired, "Do the Senior Masters already know who I am?"

"Miss Lu informed us in advance of Sixth Young Master Jiang’s impending arrival."

"Is that so?"

The Senior Master nodded, gesturing for him to partake in the tea.

Jiang Shiheng lifted his teacup, gently swirling the porcelain, his eyes fixed on the pale green liquid within.

"How many individuals reside in this temple?"

"Seven in total."

"Do you typically remain within the temple grounds, never venturing out?"

"Indeed, we are all caretakers of the temple. Our provisions and necessities are regularly delivered. After a prolonged stay on the island, one grows accustomed to the tranquility; a visit to the bustling town across the water becomes quite unsettling."

"I see." Jiang Shiheng’s gaze shifted once more towards the direction of the backyard.

At that precise moment, another Senior Master rushed in, exclaiming, "Senior Master, the firewood stacked at our woodshed has collapsed! The logs are uncut and exceedingly heavy; we’ve been unable to lift them. What is to be done?"

"This..." The Senior Master glanced at Jiang Shiheng and then asked, "Would it be possible to request Sixth Young Master’s assistance? If the dry firewood isn't promptly restacked, it will become soaked by the rain, rendering it utterly useless and wasted."

Jiang Shiheng turned his attention to Xiao Zhou and the others accompanying him.

"Two of you, please attend to this."

"Understood."

The two bodyguards proceeded to the woodshed and confirmed the sight of a collapsed firewood pile.

"We apologize for the inconvenience, gentlemen."

After a shared glance, the two bodyguards approached the pile and bent down to begin moving the wood. Just then, a subtle breeze stirred from behind, and two syringes were swiftly plunged into their necks.

A colorless liquid was rapidly injected into each of them.

The two bodyguards attempted to cry out, but no sound emerged. Clutching their necks in utter disbelief, their eyes widened in shock before they simultaneously collapsed to the ground with a dull thud.

"They certainly possess remarkable resilience. I’ve never encountered individuals with such potent willpower, capable of enduring for this duration after being administered this particular drug."

Within a nearby side room, Lu Shuangshuang observed Sun Han, who had fallen to the ground, and let out a sneer.

"Miss, shall we administer another dose?" the Senior Master inquired in a hushed tone.

Lu Shuangshuang shook her head. "There’s no need. This drug is quite costly, and we didn’t bring an excessive supply of syringes. Two other individuals remain. Let us conserve them. Since he’s already unconscious, regaining consciousness will not be a simple matter."

"Very well."

"Go and ascertain whether their efforts over there have proven successful. And one more thing, when I later call out to Sixth Young Master, this individual," Lu Shuangshuang’s gaze flickered back to Sun Han on the floor, her expression chilling, and she stated with sinister intent, "dispose of him in the sea."

While she felt little concern for the other bodyguards, this particular man served Chiang Xiao. She had discovered that Jiang Liu had assigned him to remain by his side. He was exceptionally astute and answered only to Jiang Liu, disregarding her or any other member of the Jiang family.

Having him constantly positioned near Jiang Liu created significant obstacles, fueling Lu Shuangshuang’s intense resentment towards him.

With the opportunity to finally eliminate this person, she felt a profound sense of relief.

Lu Shuangshuang rose to her feet, glancing down at her own sprained ankle, and emitted a light chuckle.

"They certainly unearthed many peculiar remedies over there. Despite the severe swelling of my foot, there is no pain; it doesn’t impede my walking in the slightest."

"Miss, what is our course of action regarding Sixth Young Master?"

"Let Fei Cui proceed." As she spoke, a profound look of resentment flashed in Lu Shuangshuang’s eyes. "Execute the plan as devised. I am eager to witness whether Jiang Liu’s affection for that person runs deep enough, and if he has truly forgotten even her."
