Chapter 1484: Chapter 1422: Potential Enemies
The turmoil in the Wu Family could be ignored by Wufu, but when it came to someone trying to assassinate Ah Jiu, she couldnāt stand by idly.
"Havenāt found them?" Wufu looked at Mei Er and Yuan Ye who stood before her. Her expression was a bit grim, and her presence was a bit cold.
Ah Jiu reached out to hold her hand, gently squeezing it.
Mei Er and the others didnāt look good either. They had investigated everything that needed to be checked, but still hadnāt found that person.
"The opponent must be in disguise and highly alert; my subordinates canāt track them down." Mei Er knelt on one knee: "Please punish me, miss."
Wufu pressed her lips together.
"Stand up and speak!" Ah Jiu raised his hand and said to Wufu, "The opponent is intent on killing me; they wouldnāt easily expose themselves. Itās expected that tracking them down would be difficult."
Wufu snorted, "Youāre really calm."
Ah Jiu smiled, "With you here, Iām not afraid."
Wufu rolled her eyes at him, "Since this path doesnāt work, weāll have to find another. Since the Wind-Listening Pavilion hasnāt taken the assignment, that person will definitely seek other assassins, like those not on the lists of various organizations."
Mei Er cupped his fists, "Please give your instructions, miss."
"Keep an eye on the top ten assassins, watch who approaches them, and track their movements carefully," Wufu said coldly.
"Yes, miss."
Wufu looked at Ah Jiu, "You canāt be left without protection by your side. From now on, have Hoo Die follow you closely."
"Itās not that serious..." Ah Jiu responded with a helpless smile.
Wufu ignored him and looked at Mei Er, "Additionally, dispatch six more Hidden Guards to be with the prince."
"Yes."
"Exceptional times call for exceptional measures. Using Hidden Guards is something youāre used to doing, didnāt you plant people around me before?" Wufu stopped Ah Jiu, who was about to refuse, saying, "Your safety is the most important."
Ah Jiu could only smile wryly and nod.
"Who hates you so much that they wish for your death? Donāt you have any clue?" Wufu continued, "Who are your potential enemies, can you figure it out?"
Ah Jiu shook his head, "Potential enemies are all uncertain; itās hard to pinpoint..."
Wufu felt a headache, rubbed her temple, and said: "Anyway, we have to eliminate them one by one." She looked at Yuan Ye and Mei Er, "You need to filter and investigate each one; even if it takes a while to identify the person, you canāt relax. Itās about the safety of your prince; you have to find them."
"Yes."
"Go make the arrangements!" Wufu waved her hand and let Chi Wu come in.
"Miss."
"Send a message to call back Two and Three, and also contact your leader, asking him to investigate the movements of the assassins in the Jianghu." Wufu said solemnly, "In the Jianghu, particularly in organizations like theirs, itās easier to gather information. Be careful not to reveal anything."
"Yes, miss."
Chi Wu left, and Wufu turned her head to see Ah Jiu smilingly watching her, so she asked, "Why are you smiling?"
"I think you look really great while directing everything," Ah Jiu sincerely praised, "You make me proud."
Wufu gave him a look, "You truly have a big heart, arenāt you right in the vortex?"
Ah Jiu pulled her into his arms and said calmly, "Itās alright. When soldiers come, we face them; when water comes, we cover it with earth. Am I afraid of just one assassin?"
"Itās not the assassins Iām worried about; itās the person behind them that we need to root out," Wufu traced her fingers on his chest, "Ah Jiu, thereās no such thing as guarding against a thief for a thousand days. Cutting off the grass is not as effective as removing the root. This cat-and-mouse game is the same; defense is not as good as offense. The best defense is to keep the opponent too busy to focus on attacking us."
Ah Jiu responded with a hum, his heart full, realizing she truly cared for him.
