After hanging up the phone with Lu Tinghao, Chen Yi whispered instructions to his subordinates.
"Not far ahead is Dr. Cheng's residence. The information we received earlier said that no one is inside, but to be on the safe side, everyone must remain quiet. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Shh!"
"clear."
Chen Yi looked at them speechlessly, not knowing what to say. He sighed and motioned them to follow him.
They all hid in the bushes ten meters away from the house. Looking at the brightly lit house, Chen Yi narrowed his eyes vigilantly.
If only the lights in a few rooms were on, it would be understandable that Doctor Cheng came downstairs to drink water at home, but now the entire house, both upper and lower floors, were brightly lit, which was very wrong.
Chen Yi turned and looked at one of them.
"Feng Li, go gather some intelligence first."
The subordinate named Feng Li nodded, looked around the house, checked his belongings, then carefully jumped down from the tree and headed towards the villa.
The black figure moved quickly in the dark night, and with almost no accidents, Feng Li successfully arrived under the wall of the house covered with ivy.
With the help of the ivy, Feng Li hid his figure.
He carefully stuck his head out, made sure that no one noticed him, and then took another step.
Time passed minute by minute, the lights in the house were still on, and not even a sound was coming from inside the house.
The men led by Chen Yi became a little anxious. They were all worried that Feng Li might have encountered some accident.
"Boss, why don't we go in together and see what's going on."
"Yes, boss. Feng Li has been in there for so long and hasn't come out yet. He must have encountered some danger and is waiting for us to rescue him!"
"Feng Li is the best at finding information. It would be impossible for him to take so long on normal days. He must have encountered something unexpected, which is why he hasn't returned yet."
There was a hint of hesitation in Chen Yi's eyes, but he calmly stopped his men from rushing into the house anxiously.
He shushed them with his finger and waited until they were all quiet before speaking.
"Don't worry, Feng Li might be on his way back. Let's wait for another ten minutes. If he doesn't come back after ten minutes, we'll go in together."
"good!"
Another ten minutes passed, and Chen Yi stood up slightly and raised one hand.
"Let's go, everyone be careful, there might be an ambush."
Six or seven people followed Chen Yi and quietly moved towards the residence.
Shortly after they left, two thin figures appeared in their place.
"That was really embarrassing, Dai Si. Luckily you brought cash, otherwise we wouldn't be able to leave."
Jiang Nuan complained to Dai Si beside her about the embarrassing experience with a depressed look on her face.
After finishing her crayfish noodles, Jiang Nuan said to Dai Si generously before paying: "This meal is my treat! You don't have to pay."
Dai Si also nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, Princess."
So when the two of them were paying at the front desk, Jiang Nuan took out the black card with a gold border with great momentum.
“Swipe the card.”
Unexpectedly, the clerk said something to her directly.
"Excuse me, miss, we only accept cash here."
Jiang Nuan's elbow, which was resting on the cash register, suddenly slid off the table. He widened his eyes in surprise and repeated the cashier's words.
"What?! Cash only?!"
"Yes, miss."
Jiang Nuan suddenly tapped her toes on the ground in embarrassment.
There was no other way, so Days Inn paid the bill in the end.
"Well...next time! I'll definitely invite you back next time!"
Jiang Nuan talked to Dai Si all the way, trying to brainwash him.
Dai Si also responded to Jiang Nuan's words cooperatively.
"Well, I remember the princess."
"Well, let's go to my master's residence as soon as possible."
"Yes, Princess."
Jiang Nuan leaned against the tree trunk, waiting for Dai Si to report to her.
During the brief moment that Dai Si climbed the tree, Jiang Nuan was somewhat bored and was making circles on the ground with her feet.
Suddenly, she keenly discovered that someone seemed to have passed by the place where she was standing not long ago and stayed there for quite a while.
Jiang Nuan squatted down and tried to infer the number of people who had just stayed here based on the traces at the scene.
"Looking at the situation, there are quite a few people here. The old man must have offended so many people that they sent nearly ten people to assassinate him at once."
Jiang Nuan's expression was solemn, but he couldn't help but complain about his master.
Dai Si moved quickly and came down from the tree in a short while.
"Princess, I noticed that all the lights in the residence were turned on and were very bright."
"Dace, look at the ground."
"It seems someone found Dr. Cheng's address before us."
"There are quite a few people coming. It seems we have to hurry up."
"Um."
"Let's go, Des."
After saying that, Jiang Nuan and Dai Si ran quickly towards the residence, one after the other.
On the sofa in the living room of the brightly lit house that was said to be Cheng Shuqiao's, sat a figure with a cold and arrogant face.
Fu Yanci was playing with the lighter in one hand, while the other hand was supporting his head leisurely. He didn't say anything, but he looked intimidating without being angry.
Fu Yanli was circling around the group of people excitedly and curiously.
"So you are in cahoots with the guy who just broke in?"
Chen Yi was so angry that he didn't say anything. He just stared at Fu Yanci, who was sitting on the sofa without looking at them directly, with angry eyes.
"I say, glaring at my brother is useless. We've already captured you all, so why are you still so clueless about the situation?"
“…”
Fu Yanli was responded by a long silence.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you. Everyone who came to gather intelligence has been caught. How dare you all come together and break into our villa?"
"We are brothers."
Chen Yi, who had been silent for a long time, finally responded when he heard Fu Yanli's question.
"Ah! That sounds so touching. Brothers sticking together through thick and thin is so touching."
Fu Yanli couldn't help but applaud them.
