In the dim light, Chen Hong discovered that there were indeed four men surrounding the back door outside the wall.

They were all wearing hoods.

Three burly men, armed with pickaxes and iron bars, were digging into her house's wall.

Another small, thin man was holding a flashlight to illuminate their path.

Chen Hong discovered that the flashlight lens had been covered with something.

This results in a dim, hazy light from the flashlight, which is faint but never glaring.

Chen Hong couldn't help but admire their intelligence. Look how experienced they were! If you didn't know what they were doing beforehand, from a distance you would think it was light reflecting off glass from someone's litter.

No one would have imagined that someone would dig a hole in someone else's wall in the middle of the night to commit a crime.

"Almost there, almost there! Take out this brick, and it'll be through in one more layer! Damn it, this family really has money to burn, they really did build a 3:7 wall."

"Damn it, stop talking nonsense and get to work. We've been taking too long tonight, we don't want anyone to find out."

"It's alright. The second brother already observed it during the day. This place is far from the village, and apart from the inn in front, there are no other residents nearby."

At this hour, the hotel staff have all been out all day and are sound asleep. They shouldn't hear anything from this distance.

"The second brother is the smartest. We should target these isolated households far from the village. Even if we accidentally make a commotion, no one will notice."

"Second brother, look carefully, there really is a car in this yard?"
