With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

There were five men in black. Not finding them, they immediately began searching the surrounding area.

"Where are they? I clearly saw two figures." A voice rang out.

"Are you seeing things?" Guard A looked around suspiciously.

"I saw them too. They were two figures, incredibly fast. They were experts. We were a step too late. We must find them," the second guard said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Guard A blew a whistle.

The next moment, countless figures emerged from the surrounding shadows and landed on the rooftop.

"There might be assassins in. Search immediately, don't miss a single place," Guard A ordered.

"yes!"

The guards immediately dispersed.

"Assassin! Catch the assassin!"

Immediately, countless torches were lit in the Prince Jing's mansion, like fire dragons searching everywhere within the mansion.

Nangong Wu sat down on the sofa. "It seems that the Prince Jing's mansion has quite a few experts, and they are also very vigilant."

They were discovered as soon as they approached the study.

"How about we go back first and come back tomorrow night?" Bei Chenyan asked.

Nangong Wu glanced at him. "Don't you understand the principle that a thief never leaves empty-handed?"

"Haha..." Bei Chenyan chuckled lightly, walked to the table and picked up a cup. "Looks like it'll be a while. I'll make you a cup of coffee to perk you up."

Seeing how skillfully he made coffee, Nangong Wu felt no gratitude. "You don't need to be so attentive. I have my own hands and feet. I'll make it myself when I want some."

"It's alright, you know I can't sit still." Bei Chenyan made the coffee, stirred it with a small spoon, and placed it on the table in front of her, a smile always on his face.

Nangong Wu picked up the cup of coffee, took a small sip, and said nothing more.

"I'll go check on the children," Bei Chenyan said to her, and then went to the children's room.

Outside the space, Prince Jing, Bei Chenzhan, was also awakened and rushed over, his collar unbuttoned.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

The prince's guards and black-clad secret agents all knelt down.

"Have you found the assassin? Has anyone gone into the study?" Bei Chenzhan looked at the study door.

"Your Highness, we spotted the thief as soon as he approached the study. He didn't enter the study, and the traps weren't activated," Guard A replied.

"You spotted the thief as soon as he got close. Where is the thief? Have you caught him?" Bei Chenzhan asked.

The guard lowered his head. "I'm incompetent; that person got away."

"Useless! With so many of you, you can't even catch two thieves. What use are you to me?" Bei Chenzhan was furious and kicked the guard in the chest.

The guard was kicked to the ground, but he quickly got up and knelt down. "Your Highness, those two thieves are extremely skilled in martial arts. They ran away as soon as they came out, but I am certain that they are still in the palace."

"Then hurry up and go find them!" Bei Chenzhan pointed at the men in black. "Useless! If you can't find those two thieves and something goes missing from the Prince's mansion, watch your heads!"

"yes!"

The black-clad guards scrambled down the stairs to find someone.

Inside the room, Nangong Wu noticed Beichen Zhan's nervous demeanor and guessed that he must have hidden many treasures in his study, or perhaps something important.

She thought of Ling Yangzi.

"Open the door!" Bei Chenzhan ordered.

"Yes!" A guard took out a key and opened the study door.

Inside the space, Eileen brought out a box. "Master, this invisibility cloak of yours has been sitting there for a long time. Why don't you give it a try? It's perfect for nighttime operations now."

"An invisibility cloak?" Nangong Wu looked at the box in her hand, having completely forgotten about the invisibility cloak.

This "invisibility cloak" is made of advanced light-bending materials that can withstand infrared and thermal imaging.

He helped her a lot during a mission in her past life.

"The people from Prince Jing's mansion have already discovered you, and they believe you haven't left yet. They won't let their guard down tonight." Eileen placed the box in her hand.

Nangong Wu looked outside the space and saw that all the black-clad guards had left, and Bei Chenzhan only had a few guards by his side.

"This is a great opportunity." She opened the box, took out the invisibility cloak, put it on, pulled up the hood, and vanished from the space.

She stood on the rooftop for a while, and it worked very well; no one noticed her.

At this moment, Bei Chenzhan had already entered the study.

Nangong Wu squatted down and carefully lifted a glazed tile, from which light streamed out.

She looked down through the small opening and saw Bei Chenzhan enter the study. Two guards, holding torches, began searching the study.

"Your Highness, the doors and windows are intact, the mechanisms are all in good working order, and no thieves have entered."

Bei Chenzhan picked up a tinderbox, lit a candle, and then ordered, "You all go outside and wait."

"yes!"

The two guards left and closed the door.

Bei Chenzhan was the only one in the study. He held the candlestick with the lit candle in his hand and turned it forcefully.

"Click, click..." Accompanied by a clicking sound, a bookshelf against the wall slowly moved away.

A moment later, a hidden door was revealed behind the bookshelf.

Bei Chenzhan walked to his desk, where he usually worked, and pulled out a small mahogany box from a drawer. He then carried the box in one hand and picked up the candle in the other, before walking into the hidden door.

"As expected, there's something good hidden inside." Nangong Wu looked at the small mahogany box, which must contain something very important to Bei Chenzhan.

She glanced at the wind direction, then quietly leaped to the ground, stood in a corner, and held her breath.

The six guards vigilantly observed their surroundings, their sharp eyes sweeping over the spot where Nangong Wu was standing, but they did not spot her.

Nangong Wu didn't touch the six people. She walked along the wall and slowly approached the door of the study.

The six people had their backs to the door, only paying attention to what was happening outside.

Nangong Wu slowly opened the study door.

Even with the gentlest movements, the turning of the door hinges will still produce a subtle sound.

"Who?"

All six guards turned around and saw that the study door was half open.

"Oh no! A thief has gone in! The prince is still inside!"

All six guards drew their swords from their waists with a "whoosh".

"You four stay here, the two of us will go in."

Two guards entered the study.

At this moment, Nangong Wu had already entered the hidden door.

The two guards came in and searched around, but found no one in the study. Then they both looked toward the hidden door.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" a guard called out into the hidden door.

"Who let you in? Get out!" Bei Chenzhan's angry voice rang out.

"Yes……"

The two guards were startled and quickly retreated.

"It seems the door was blown open by the wind; we were just too nervous," said Guard A.

"That's right, with six of us guarding this spot, not even a fly could get in, let alone a person!"
