Chapter 55: Fifty-five, Teachings Chapter 55: Fifty-five, Teachings The night grew deep and the once bustling streets became eerily quiet. Underneath the streetlight, a few moths flapped their wings, circling the light in flight.

Abrupt footsteps broke the calm.

Two men, one tall and one short, emerged from an alley and made their way to the front of an inn at the alley’s mouth, where they stopped in their tracks.

“They’re staying in this inn, let’s go in,” the taller man said, stepping forward into the small inn.

The shorter man hurried to follow. Their purpose here was to snatch the Imperial Green Jade and also to teach the insolent grandparents a lesson on behalf of their boss. They had the audacity to embarrass their boss in front of everyone, clearly not knowing the meaning of ‘death.’

Hearing the footsteps outside, Song Yan Ning’s lips curved into a cold arc as she glanced at Yang Lisheng and Li Meixiang who had long since fallen asleep. After they had dozed off, she had scattered some Medicine Powder in the room to deepen their slumber. Now, even if someone entered, they wouldn’t be roused.

“This is the room, let’s go in,” the tall man said, taking out a keycard and swiping it on the sensor outside the door. With their boss’s status in Beijing, obtaining a keycard to a small inn’s room was trivially easy.

The tall man pushed the door open and entered the dark room. He snickered and inserted the keycard into the control panel, illuminating the entire room instantly. They were there to rob, with no need for stealth.

Once the two men could see clearly inside the room, they were taken aback to find Song Yan Ning sitting leisurely on the sofa, sipping tea. She showed no sign of fear or panic at their arrival, as if she had fully anticipated it.
