Transmigrated to the Courtyard in 1962, I sold my iron rice bowl at the start.
I will study hard, get into a technical secondary school, and become a technician. When the trend rises, I will ...
In her mind, the fact that a gun had been used meant that someone was going to die.
As for who this person in the cold is, that remains unknown.
She dared not think about it, nor did she want to. She had wanted to rush over just now, but now she no longer wanted to.
Time rewinds to two hours earlier.
Wang Shouren was held at gunpoint, and for a moment, his mind was in turmoil.
But in a very short time, he realized that he had encountered a spy.
She glanced at the middle-aged man's throat but said nothing.
He took the black cloth the middle-aged man had thrown at him. The man was behind him, holding a gun to his head, and made him walk. The walk didn't take long, only about half an hour in total. They wandered around in circles, but Wang Shouren knew very well that they were probably in the vicinity. The winding paths were probably meant to confuse him and make him lose his sense of direction.
So the question is, what's the point of doing this?
If this is a spy den, then doing this makes no sense.
Because once he arrives at his destination, if he manages to escape through this alley, he can run anywhere, even if he doesn't know the way, as long as there's a road, he can keep running.
Walking blindfolded to the ground only meant that he might have infiltrated a spy network.
In this place, there are likely a dozen or so spies, each positioned in a different location, forming a watchful and mutually supportive network. If he were to run out of the house, he would fall into someone else's hands. Blindfolding him is to prevent him from knowing the surrounding area. This makes him extremely easy to capture.
Wang Shouren went through it in his mind in an instant.
In other words, there is a spy den nearby.
In that instant, a bold idea came to Wang Shouren's mind.
The middle-aged man was still rambling on and on, complaining about how bad this place was while praising how good that place was.
Wang Shouren sneered inwardly. Did he not know what the situation was like over there?
He walked silently ahead until he reached a place where the middle-aged man told him to stop.
They had most likely arrived at a courtyard house. The area was mostly comprised of traditional courtyard houses. They walked up, knocked lightly twice, then knocked three times more forcefully. A voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
“I am Lao Liu’er.”
"Sixth Brother?"
The door opened, and a man with a sinister expression walked out, glancing at Wang Shouren: "What's going on here?"
"Let's go inside and talk, let's go inside and talk, Eighth Master."
Eighth Master glanced at Wang Shouren, stepped aside, and Sixth Master led Wang Shouren into the house.
It's an ordinary one-courtyard house, not very big.
Upon entering the room, Lao Liu removed Wang Shouren's blindfold. The room was empty, except for two suitcases placed in the corner. It seemed that the two men were also planning to leave.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to go scout ahead? Why did you bring someone back? Who is he?" Eighth Master looked at Wang Shouren, as if he was about to attack if Sixth Master didn't give him an explanation.
"Eighth Master, didn't the higher-ups say last time to investigate who was behind that incident? Well, they sent me a message a while ago saying they know who it is. So, I figured I'd just tie him up. Anyway, he's just a technician, it's not a big deal." Sixth Master explained cheerfully, "He's tied up, we'll take him with us tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Eighth Master's expression relaxed somewhat. He looked Wang Shouren up and down and nodded: "He does indeed look like a technician. However, he's so young, you really didn't make a mistake in hiring him."
"No, I've checked several times. Tomorrow, before dawn, we'll leave. I even left a bicycle there so we can all run away when they find out. We'll put some extras in this house to give them a taste of the good life. What do you say, Eighth Master?" Sixth Brother raised his eyebrows, looking smug.
Upon hearing this, Eighth Master chuckled and nodded at Sixth Master: "It still has to be you."
Then, he looked at Wang Shouren, took out a knife from his pocket, and waved it in front of Wang Shouren: "Kid, do you know what this is?"
"knife."
"Yo ho." Eighth Master exclaimed, turning to look at Sixth Master: "Why isn't this kid afraid?"
"If you're not afraid, then don't be afraid. You're such a daring fool. Aren't all tech people like that? They're either cowardly as hell or as stubborn as rocks in a latrine. If all else fails, just break one of his legs. Anyway, we won't need to make him walk tomorrow. As long as his hands are still functional, it'll save us the trouble of preventing him from escaping."
"That makes sense." Eighth Master nodded.
He turned around and looked at Wang Shouren with a sinister smile: "Friend, don't blame me. If you have to blame someone, blame your stubbornness. Let's see how tough you really are."
After saying that, he threw the dagger aside, reached out and grabbed Wang Shouren's leg.
Wang Shouren's hands were bound at this moment, but his legs were intact.
Eighth Master had just lowered his body and reached out his hand.
Before he even reached his destination, his vision blurred, and he was sent flying backward. A red dot appeared on his Adam's apple. He crashed into the main pillar of the house and lost consciousness; his fate was unknown.
Upon closer inspection, Lao Liu realized that this guy had been a spy for many years, and his reaction speed was extremely fast.
He pulled out a pistol, aimed it at Wang Shouren, and without saying a word, fired a shot directly at Wang Shouren.
However, Wang Shouren had anticipated this.
These days, killing or maiming someone is as easy as playing around. He didn't expect to subdue this group by simply kicking someone unconscious. These people, on the surface, seem unreliable. In reality, they are incredibly shrewd. It was Wang Shouren's highly deceptive appearance that allowed this guy called Lao Liu to relax for a moment.
But it was this brief moment of relaxation that plunged him into the abyss of despair.
The sixth man discovered in despair that this technician...
He can dodge bullets!
Even though Lao Liu was a veteran of countless battles, he had never seen anything so outrageous.
With one kick, he sent the battle-hardened Eighth Master flying, his fate unknown. The next moment, he actually dodged a bullet.
The moment Sixth Brother was kicked away, he had already made up his mind: shoot the technician, kill him, and then run away immediately. As for Eighth Brother, he could just stay there and wait to die.
But now, he suddenly realized that he couldn't escape.
Could Wang Shouren really dodge bullets? It wasn't that miraculous. The room wasn't large, but it had plenty of cover. By raising his hand, one could generally predict the direction of the attack. Furthermore, there were intervals between the gunshots. This created the illusion that he could dodge bullets.
