Shen Wei could sense that there had been some trouble in the mansion but he wouldn't leave the university without a good reason, until he saw Guard li appear outside his classroom door and nodded to him. He looked at his students who were all concentrating on finishing their assignments for the afternoon and he spoke to them before he stepped out.

"Carry on with your analysis of Caesar's behaviour during that time period and I'll be listening at the door, excuse me for a moment," the professor instructed his class before he left to speak to Guard li.

"What happened at the mansion, is everyone alright? No one was injured?" He asked anxiously.

"No My Lord, everyone is alright. Lord Zhao reopened his wound but ... " and Guard Li never had the chance to finish before Wei cut him off, "How?"

"He leapt over a table in the security room before the explosion went off." Li told him.

"What explosion?" Wei looked horrified, it was supposed to be a simple conversation.

"The prisoner had a detonator in his tooth which reacted to water and ... " and Wei cut him off again, he was not staying.

"What do you know about the life of Caesar? You're taking over my class."

Wei ordered Guard Li who felt terrified at the thought of standing in front of Wei's students who all knew more than him about history. Shen Wei entered the classroom, bringing the petrified guard with him and left strict instructions with his students.

"This is Professor Li who will be taking over until the end of class today. I have a small emergency I have to deal with at home. The professor usually lectures on the history surrounding the war between the two worlds and not the subject we're discussing today. So if you can finish your two thousand word synopsis on Caesar before home time, you can ask him anything you would like to know about his subject, behave or I will hear about it."

Wei nodded to Guard li and grabbed his briefcase before he ran to his study and immediately teleported to the mansion. By the time Wei reached the medical room, he was out of breath and dashed towards Yunlan who was sitting up on a bed, content and smiling at Ava.

"I'll leave you two alone, he's fine My Lord," Ava said, as she quietly left the room and closed the door.

Wei threw his arms around Yunlan and held on for a few moments before he calmed down and released his grip. Yunlan could see how worried he was and asked Wei to sit on the side of the bed while he explained.

"The burglar had an explosive tooth that wouldn't have been found in any scan, no one was to blame. Guard Li got us out before the room exploded, and we're all OK. It was planned. He had orders from someone. It looks like he left the wire and was caught deliberately, so that he would be brought here and he could kill one or both of us. He didn't act until Li called me My Lord, so he didn't know what I looked like and he could teleport. It was the only way he would have been able to get into your flat. So I think he didn't know that you were Black Robe, he was looking for us. I don't think it's related to the serial killer. This is someone else."
