Chapter 361: Intruders

At some point in the night, the loud insistent barking of Black guard and the other dogs created a commotion which woke Chi Lian and Muyang up. She immediately switched her sight to her virtual screen as she asked T4 if he could see what was going on.

"I think we have intruders." Muyang told her.

"He is right host; they came in from the backyard a few seconds ago. Black guard smelled them and started barking immediately. Part of the group is fighting with the guards and the dogs are wrangling some but they seem to be highly skilled and they are carrying weapons."

Immediately, she threw the beddings off her body and left the bedroom without bothering to put on shoes.

Because of the cold weather, she had gone to bed dressed in warm thick blue pajamas.

Muyang was right on her heels, racing her in the direction of Blackguards barking. At the exit leading to the backyard, they could hear scuffles coming from two sides.

Chi Lian looked at Muyang and she looked right. He nodded and they split up with him going left and her going right.

When she arrived outside, Blackguard was engaged in a fierce battle with two knife wielding attackers. White knight was barking and whining at something in the snow. She quickly identified that something to be Popcorn.

There was some red bit of blood flowing from Popcorn which was dying the white snow red. Her anger tripled and she threw herself into the fight without hesitation. She did not bother to hold back her super strength, wasting no moment to break both arms of one of the attackers.

As the second one was thrown by Blackguard, she kicked him so hard in the knee that the sound of his bones crunching as he hit the ground was loudly audible.

With these two down for the count, she hurried to check on popcorn. The little female husky had been stabbed in the stomach. She stuffed a health capsule down its throat and carried it inside.

"Go and help the others." She told Blackguard.

He barked twice as she carried popcorn inside with White knight whining at her feet. Inside the house, the scuffle had awakened more than one person. The butler, some maids, her parents, brother and everyone else was downstairs worriedly holding weapons while peeping outside of the windows.

One window, she noticed was smashed.

Grandpa Wang was holding his head which was bleeding from a cut.

"What happened?" she asked him.

"I tried to stop one of those bastards from stealing the painting but I could not stop it. I think I have grown too old." He said with a sigh.

Just a she was about to go outside and join the fight once more, the sound of struggling stopped. Muyang, Caizu, Spider and old tiger came inside the house. Caizu and Spider were supporting one of the bodyguards who was limping and groaning in pain.

They all had a few injuries here and there but none life threatening. To her shock, Chi Wei and Chi Rui followed after them slowly. Both of them were wielding their retractable bats in hand and their pajamas were torn in a few spots.

The butler ordered the maids to quickly find ice and the first aid kit so that they could tend to the injured people.

"Is everyone okay, how bad are the injuries?" Chi Lian asked old tiger.

"We scared them off, but I think we may have killed one or put him in a coma. Young master Jun kicked him a little too hard in the head."

One or two gasps went around the room.

"We should collect the injured ones and question them right now. How dare they steal from us!" grandpa Wang expressed a lot of fury over the theft. "I called Bolin and the soldiers from military base. They will come and take the criminals away later."

"The children..." Chi Lian suddenly said in a panic, "Where are my children?"

The two nannies and all the maids were standing here very frightened but none of them was holding her two bundles of joy.

She started running to the children’s room when Grandma An shouted, "They are locked in the kitchen with Feng Wu and two female bodyguards and Qi Qing."

She paused her wild run and calmed herself down. "I want to see them first."

"Danda open the kitchen door."

Chi Lian almost grabbed the keys from Danda so that she could the door personally and ascertain the safety of her children. Muyang was standing behind her, just as eager to see the children.

As soon as the door opened, she went inside but a flying fist was what welcomed her. She dodged it and carefully grabbed the female bodyguard who threw the fist.

"Relax, it’s me." She told her.

She continued holding on to the female bodyguard until she felt her body relax and loosen before letting her go.

The small group of people that was previously huddled in the corner also stood up with relief on their faces.

Feng Wu and the female bodyguard put down the knives they had been wielding.

To her surprise, the children were sleeping in Qi Qing’s arms, completely unaware of the terrifying events which had just occurred. As soon as she and Muyang ascertained that the children were uninjured, she told Qi Qing to take them back to bed.

When they stepped outside and joined others in the living room, Grandpa Wang was in the middle of talking. "We have checked the entire house and everything is clear."

"Unfortunately the attackers who were left alive are now dead, it looks like they have been poisoned, we have to examine the bodies to figure out if it was personally activated poison or second hand poison delivered by a third party." Wang Bolin who had already arrived explained to the rest of the family. "Was the painting insured?"

"No," we had just acquired it tonight at an auction. Chi Lian replied.

Outside the house, the soldiers arrived so Muyang, Chi Wei and grandpa Wang went to speak to them. The camera footage which had been recorded was taken; the bodies and their statements were also taken.

It was dark outside, almost four o’clock in the morning but nobody was sleepy. Everyone was still shaken up from the terrifying events of the night. They sat around in the living room while the maids went around distributing coffee and tea.

"How is Popcorn?" Mama Chi asked Chi Lian.

"She will be fine, Black guard and the other dogs are watching over her."

"It’s too bad that the painting is gone after all the money which was spent on it. Then again, maybe it’s not a blessed painting but a cursed one; It has been one problem after the other with it." Mama Chi said with a smile.

Grandpa Wang scoffed and shared a knowing look with Muyang.

"I am going to help the maids clean up; I can’t just sit around and do nothing." Mama Chi had been a nervous wreck all night. The longer she sat down, the more unsettled she became.

Chi Lian yawned and announced, "We are going back to bed, tomorrow is going to be a long day."
