In fact, Ling Zhenfei's Divine Sense was constantly monitoring the outside movements at this time, and he was aware of any disturbances outside.
Although eating, Emelin didn't eat much. Who could eat knowing they're in danger?
At this moment, Ling Zhenfei suddenly made a shushing gesture to Emelin, and Emelin knew someone must have arrived outside.
Sure enough, the doorbell rang, and Ling Zhenfei instructed Emelin to remain silent, then both of them lay on the table, pretending to be unconscious.
Indeed, when the doorbell went unanswered, there soon came the sound of the door opening, followed by several people entering.
After entering, the door of the room was closed again.
At this moment, four people appeared in the room. They looked around and saw Emelin and Ling Zhenfei unconscious; the four of them laughed.
"The boss actually said this person is so formidable and told us to be extra careful. Now it seems he's just so-so, easily taken down, what trash."
Another said, "Since that's the case, let's get to work."
"Work? Didn't you see how pretty this chick is? Why don't we have some fun first."
"I think that's possible, but let's finish the main task first, so the boss doesn't blame us."
"Okay, let's handle the main task first. You pull this guy over, I'll open the window."
"Why open the window? Just slash him and be done with it."
That person shook his head and said, "Both of you are wrong. The boss wants it to seem like this guy's death was an accident. Look, how could he die if the big glass window is sealed?"
"Then what do we do? It doesn't look right."
That person thought for a while and said, "I think disguising it as an accident is best."
"How do we do it? Go ahead, you're the one with ideas."
That person said, "It's simple, just make it look like he accidentally fell drunk, hit something sharp, cut an artery, and bled to death."
"That's too complicated for me. My brain can't wrap around it, explain it more clearly."
That person explained, "How long does the drug effect last?"
"It can make them sleep for about seven to eight hours."
"Then it's easy, drag this guy to the floor, pretend he got up with a wine bottle and accidentally fell, the wine bottle shattered just right, cutting his wrist artery."
"I think that can work, a really good idea."
"Alright, let's do it this way."
At this time, Ling Zhenfei completely understood: These guys weren't targeting Emelin, but him.
They intended to kill Ling Zhenfei and make it look like an accidental death.
Then someone came to pull Ling Zhenfei, but found he couldn't move him with a tug.
That person paused and tried with force, yet still couldn't move Ling Zhenfei.
The other three laughed.
"Third Brother, we told you to fool around less with women. You didn't listen, look at you now, can't even lift someone."
After saying this, he tried hard to lift Ling Zhenfei but still couldn't.
The laughter from the others grew louder.
Third Brother shouted angrily, "Stop laughing! If anyone thinks they're stronger, come and try; this guy is heavier than a dead body."
The other three were obviously not convinced, hurriedly trying to pull Ling Zhenfei, but no matter how much force they used, they couldn't lift him.
The four were very surprised, one said, "Damn, this is haunted, how is it possible for a person to be so heavy?"
Another said, "What kind of bad idea did you come up with, faking the scene, nothing a simple stab can't solve."
"Exactly, just stab him, we'll take the woman; it's been so long since I played with a foreigner."
"Are you crazy? Which eye of yours sees this woman as a foreigner? She's obviously Asian."
"Whatever, anyone not from our country is a foreigner. She's so pretty, I'd regret not having fun."
"Alright, we'll do it like this, kill the guy, take the woman."
One of them pulled out a knife and stabbed it toward Ling Zhenfei's back, but after the stab, found the knife hadn't penetrated Ling Zhenfei's body.
It didn't even tear Ling Zhenfei's clothes.
All four were a bit surprised, and the man couldn't believe his eyes, quickly checking his knife and finding no issues.
Not believing it, he stabbed Ling Zhenfei again.
Again, the knife didn't penetrate Ling Zhenfei's body, blocked right by his clothes.
The four were sweating; this was too eerie.
He handed the knife to another, saying, "You try."
The man looked at the knife in his hand, swallowed nervously but still stabbed it toward Ling Zhenfei's back.
Clang!
It was as if the knife hit a steel plate, making a clanging sound.
The four were terrified, knowing something was wrong, but not knowing what.
One asked, "Boss, what's going on?"
"How would I know, this is damn spooky."
"Do you think it's revenge for us killing so many people before?"
Suddenly, from a distant room, a voice like someone speaking was heard.
This voice was too timely; already jittery, the four were terrified.
Ling Zhenfei felt happy, knowing it was Emelin's father waking up.
The four, however, were scared out of their wits.
"There's a ghost! A ghost!"
"Surely there's a ghost."
"What ghost, how many have we killed, never seen a ghost before."
One of them said, "Don't you feel it? The atmosphere is clearly off here; the guy can't be killed by a knife, there're other sounds too."
The one with some suspicion was previously the delivery chef. He said, "I don't believe there's a ghost here."
Just as he finished the word "ghost," the room lights suddenly went out.
The whole room quickly fell silent. Although brightly lit just now, the sudden darkness now brought them a sense of fear.
"What's going on? Why did the lights go out?"
"Yes, a ghost, there's really a ghost."
Naturally, it was Ling Zhenfei who turned off the lights, using a bit of Northern Spiritual Energy to do so easily.
In this dark environment, while others couldn't see, Ling Zhenfei could see very clearly.
Ling Zhenfei knew it was time to take action, since they dared target him, they needed a lesson.
In the darkness, it was almost pitch black, with only a glimmer of light visible from the window, but the distant light couldn't reach here.
