Years turn into wind

The next morning, when Cheng Yuwei woke up, Ling Xiaotian had already left. He had left her a brief note, telling her to rest in her mansion no matter what happened today and not to worry about external affairs. Seeing these gentle words, Cheng Yuwei smiled knowingly, but she knew that such calm often meant hidden trouble.

She didn't stay quietly in her mansion, but headed to the laboratory to develop a new round of medicine. She planned to try a formula that could quickly activate the human immune system based on the existing medicine to deal with various emergencies.

Just as she was immersed in her research, she suddenly heard subtle footsteps outside the door. Alerted, she quickly hid the potion, put down the test tube, and walked out of the laboratory to check.

A little maid stood trembling at the door, clutching the corner of her clothes with both hands, as if she wanted to convey something but didn't dare to speak. Cheng Yuwei smiled gently and asked softly, "Xiaoqing, what's the matter?"

The little maid hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered, "Madam, I saw a strange shadow in the back garden this morning. It seemed like a stranger had sneaked into the mansion."

Cheng Yuwei's face paled slightly upon hearing this, and she immediately realized that this was no accident. The enemy had clearly had ulterior motives for infiltrating the mansion. She pondered for a moment, deciding not to alert anyone else and instead investigate the matter herself.

Cheng Yuwei quietly slipped into the back garden, carefully scanning the surroundings for any clues. She remembered a special potion she'd developed that released a colorless, odorless mist in a short period of time, making it easier to detect even the slightest movement. She quickly sprinkled the potion and waited a moment.

Not long after, a vague black figure was spotted in the corner of the garden. The figure was hiding in the dense bushes. It seemed to sense someone approaching and moved away in a flash, trying to escape.

Cheng Yuwei calmly pulled out a dagger for self-defense from her waist, quietly approached the man, and suddenly grabbed his wrist, shouting in a low voice, "Who are you? Why are you trespassing here?"

The man was shocked and struggled, but Cheng Yuwei was surprisingly strong and he couldn't break free. He sneered and said in a slightly mocking tone, "Madam, you have a great skill. You can actually approach me quietly."

Cheng Yuwei said coldly: "You are right. In this case, you should know the consequences of trespassing in General Ling's mansion."

The man's face changed slightly upon hearing this, clearly realizing he was doomed. Just then, hurried footsteps were heard from the other side of the garden, and Ling Xiaotian's figure appeared in sight. He swept a cold gaze over the man, his tone filled with suppressed anger, "How dare you sneak into my house? Do you realize you're playing with fire?"

The man was clearly apprehensive, yet he refused to give in. He sneered, "Even if General Ling is as shrewd as he is, he won't be able to defend himself against our attacks. You will ultimately be defeated by the Canglang remnants!"

Ling Xiaotian's eyes flashed with anger, and he sternly ordered his men to take him away. Cheng Yuwei stood beside him and said calmly, "It seems they're not just trying to gather intelligence; they might also be trying to plant spies in the mansion."

Ling Xiaotian nodded, holding her hand tightly, his tone gentle and apologetic: "Yuwei, I'm sorry for getting you involved in these dangers. I wanted you to be safe in the mansion, but I didn't expect them to be so bold."

Cheng Yuwei shook her head gently, her eyes full of determination: "Xiaotian, I have been through so much with you, how can I be afraid of such a little danger? No matter what kind of enemy you face, I will be by your side."

When Ling Xiaotian heard this, a hint of affection flashed in his eyes, and he held her tightly in his arms. He knew that this secret competition was far from over, but as long as Cheng Yuwei was by his side, it seemed that everything could be solved.

That night, Cheng Yuwei accompanied Ling Xiaotian to discuss countermeasures, and together they analyzed the intruder's motives and next steps. Under the quiet lights of the night, their tacit understanding and interaction deepened their bond.

Soon after, Ling Xiaotian arranged for his lieutenants to strengthen the mansion's defenses and increase internal inspections to ensure the enemy had no further opportunities. Cheng Yuwei continued to focus on potion research to prevent the enemy from using poisons and other means to launch more covert attacks.

However, the peaceful days did not last for a few days, as intelligence from the border came again - the remnants of the Gray Wolf seemed to be gathering their troops, preparing to launch a more fierce attack. The enemy was approaching step by step, and conspiracy and danger shrouded their lives, as if a new storm was about to hit.

Ling Xiaotian and Cheng Yuwei exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with no fear, only unwavering determination. They knew that no matter how difficult the future held, they could face it all together.

A little suspense: As the remnants of the Canglang are closing in, and the whereabouts of the secret spies remain unknown, Ling Xiaotian and Cheng Yuwei are about to face more complex conspiracies and life-or-death decisions...
