The Eldest Daughter Returns with Power

"Shadow Seven, how's your investigation of that place in the manor going? Have you figured out the pattern of the troop rotation? Also, have you tried to infiltrate it?" Su Yunruo pulled Shadow Seven in front of her and asked in a deliberately low voice.

Ying Qi's expression was unusually solemn. He lowered his voice and replied, "Master, we have basically figured out the pattern of the guard rotation. They will rotate guards at 3:45 PM and 3:45 AM, and each rotation lasts for 15 minutes. As for infiltration, we tried once, but the area was heavily guarded, and we ultimately failed."

Upon hearing this news, Su Yunruo frowned deeply. After pondering for a moment, she instructed, "Continue the investigation in depth. We must ensure that we grasp the exact pattern and find the right opportunity. In addition, tell the brothers to be extremely careful and absolutely not to reveal their whereabouts."

Ying Qi respectfully cupped her hands and replied, "Yes, Miss, I understand." As soon as she finished speaking, her figure flashed by like a ghost and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

Su Yunruo gazed in the direction Ying Qi had left, silently contemplating her next plan. Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, causing her hair to flutter softly.

Her steps were slow and heavy, as if each step carried endless pressure and determination. She turned around, her back to the crowd, and walked towards her room.

Back in her room, Su Yunruo sat quietly at the table. The soft, warm light illuminated her face, revealing her slightly tired but still resolute expression. She gently picked up a pen and began to write and draw on the paper, trying to further refine her plan.

Time passed slowly, and before she knew it, she heard a few soft birdsongs outside the window. Su Yunruo looked up and saw that the sky was already beginning to lighten. She couldn't help but rub her temples, then carefully put the papers away.

Just then, a soft knock broke the silence. Su Yunruo immediately became alert and asked softly, "Who is it?"

A deep voice came from outside the door: "Miss, it's me, Shadow Seven."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Su Yunruo stood up, walked to the door, gently opened it, and let Ying Qi into the room.

As soon as Yingqi entered, she said hurriedly, "Miss, there's a new situation."

Su Yunruo's heart tightened, and she quickly pressed, "Tell me!"

Yingqi took a deep breath and then continued, "It seems that the manor has increased its security and added a lot of manpower."

Su Yunruo's eyes instantly turned cold. She gritted her teeth and said, "It seems they've noticed something. We must speed up our actions."

Ying Qi nodded and continued, "Moreover, according to my observations, the newly added personnel seem to be all experts, and they are acting more cautiously."

Su Yunruo crossed her arms and paced back and forth in the room. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then we probably need to adjust our previous plan. We can't act rashly."

Ying Qi looked at Su Yunruo and said firmly, "Miss, no matter what, I will obey your orders."

Su Yunruo stopped and looked intently at Ying Qi: "Go and investigate carefully again, and see if there are any loopholes in their deployment."

Ying Qi cupped her hands in greeting and replied, "Yes, Miss." Then she turned and disappeared out the door.

Su Yunruo sat back down at the table, her brows furrowed, lost in thought. Time passed slowly, and the room became so quiet that only her soft breathing could be heard.

After a long time, Shadow Seven returned again, but the news he brought was not optimistic: "Miss, their defense is almost impenetrable, and no loopholes have been found yet."

Su Yunruo frowned and muttered to herself, "It seems this place is really important to the General's Mansion. This makes our operation even more difficult."

Yingqi asked worriedly, "Miss, what should we do? Should we change our plan?"

Su Yunruo pondered for a moment and slowly said, "No, we will proceed according to the original plan, but we must be more careful."

“In that case, we have no choice but to take the risk. Tonight is the best time,” Su Yunruo said firmly.

Yingqi was startled and quickly tried to dissuade her, saying, "Miss, isn't this too risky? After all, we know nothing about the situation there. What if we encounter danger?"

Su Yunruo took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination: "Opportunity knocks but once. We can't wait any longer. And I believe that as long as we make thorough preparations, success is not out of the question."

Seeing that Su Yunruo had made up her mind, Ying Qi said no more and respectfully replied, "Your subordinate obeys!"

Night gradually fell, and the whole world was immersed in darkness. Su Yunruo and Ying Qi led their men cautiously towards the mysterious place within the mansion. Along the way, they tried their best to avoid the guards and make no sound.

Finally, they arrived near their destination. Su Yunruo stopped and carefully observed her surroundings. It was completely silent, with only the faint moonlight illuminating the path ahead. She gently waved, signaling everyone to remain vigilant. Then, she and Ying Qi quietly slipped into the mysterious place.

As soon as she entered, Su Yunruo sensed an unusual atmosphere.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, as if countless eyes were watching them.

Yingqi lowered her voice and said, "Miss, I feel like something's not right."

Su Yunruo's expression was solemn as she replied softly, "Be careful, don't be careless."

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by, and dozens of dark figures surged out from all directions, surrounding them. Su Yunruo's heart tightened, and she shouted, "Everyone, be careful!" The two sides instantly engaged in fierce combat, with swords flashing and blades clashing.

Su Yunruo and Ying Qi were agile and fought hard against the enemy's attacks. However, the enemies were numerous and each one was highly skilled in martial arts, and they gradually found themselves in a difficult situation.

Just then, Su Yunruo discovered an opening in the enemy's defenses and shouted, "Charge out with me!" They fought with all their might and finally broke through the enemy's encirclement.

But his men suffered heavy casualties. Su Yunruo looked at the wounded, her eyes filled with grief and indignation: "Retreat first!" Under Shadow Seven's cover, they quickly fled this mysterious place.

Back at her lodgings, Su Yunruo seemed to have lost all her strength, collapsing into a chair with a face full of self-reproach: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so reckless, how could everyone have been in such a dangerous situation!" As she spoke, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Yingqi quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Miss, please don't say that. This is not your fault alone, and things are not beyond repair yet. We still have a chance!"

Su Yunruo wiped away her tears, her voice a little hoarse: "Then what should we do next?"

After a moment of contemplation, Yingqi said, "The most important thing now is to settle the injured people in."

At this moment, Tang Qiu walked over and said softly, "Miss, all the injured people have been taken care of."

Su Yunruo nodded, then asked worriedly, "Are they seriously injured? Are they in any danger?"

Tang Qiu quickly replied, "Don't worry, Miss. Ren Dong went over to treat them and apply medicine. There shouldn't be any major problems."

Hearing this, Su Yunruo breathed a slight sigh of relief.
