(This is the third update. I don't know when the fourth update will come. You can check back tomorrow.)
I hid around the corner, waiting for that guy to come over.
The other person's footsteps drew closer, and I could no longer hold back my fists.
A moment later, the other person's feet came into my view, but he didn't continue walking over. Instead, he stood on the other side of the corner, unbuckled his belt, and began to relieve himself.
I gave a wry smile. I had wanted to surprise him, but he stopped like this, which made me very embarrassed.
Listening to the other person venting made me feel disgusted, but going out now wouldn't be wise.
A short while later, he finished relieving himself and started walking back.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, I decisively went around the corner and came behind him. Seeing that he was still fastening his belt, I decisively hit him on the back of the head with the butt of my gun.
He groaned and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
I couldn't be bothered with him and went straight upstairs.
If these people were sent by Su Mu to monitor the school, perhaps they recognize me, and nothing will happen. But if they aren't Su Mu's men, then things are a bit intriguing.
I carefully walked up the stairs without making a sound.
The hallway has no windows and is quite dark.
I arrived at the corner of the corridor, and cautiously looked up. I found that there was no one guarding the door on the second floor.
I tiptoed upstairs, came to the door, and pressed my back against the door frame. I could hear the conversation coming from inside the room clearly.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's enough! You've already eaten so much, you're going to get fat!" someone complained.
"Hehe, I'm fat to begin with, it doesn't matter to me." The speaker seemed to be a fat man.
"Alright, Fatty, stop eating. If you keep eating, you'll eat all of tonight's dinner. Don't forget why we're here."
The fat man said, "I know, I know. It's just monitoring that school. Is it really necessary to be so serious? They don't even know we exist yet. What's the rush?"
I was stunned when I heard this. They were monitoring us. Were these people really from Jiangbei?
"We can't let our guard down, and we can't let the school find out about us. We haven't had any formal contact with them, so we don't know their strength. Su Mu, the boss of Jiangbei, has been here once, and his subordinate comes here from Jiangbei every few days, which means there must be something wrong here."
"And that's not all. Didn't we send a group of people to follow that kid surnamed Zhang before? None of them came back. It's certain that this school is extraordinary! There must be some big secret behind it."
Hearing this, even a fool would realize that these people were not from Jiangbei.
Moreover, judging from their appearance, this group seems to be at odds with Jiangbei.
I continued listening.
The fat man's voice came again, "But we've been monitoring for three days, and we still haven't figured out how many people are in the school. Isn't the progress too slow?"
"I think you just want to make progress faster so you can eat all of this!" someone mocked.
The fat man chuckled: "I never thought that way, you're overthinking it."
"cut."
After some banter, the topic returned to school.
"Actually, it's not just that we don't know the exact number of students in the school. We don't even know the relationship between Jiangbei and this school. Are Jiangbei and the school separate, or is the school a secret base in Jiangbei?"
“I think it’s a secret base. That Zhang guy under Su Mu comes here every now and then. If it’s just a collaboration, why does it need to be so frequent? So I think it’s very likely that this school is Jiangbei’s secret base. Recently, our relationship with Jiangbei has become more and more tense. Jiangbei must be keeping a trump card up its sleeve to deal with us.”
"That's possible, but we don't have any evidence right now, so we can't report it to our superiors."
"What's the rush? It's only been two days. Once we figure out the school's patterns in a couple of days, we can just grab one of them and ask them."
Just then, the fat man's voice rang out, "By the way, how's things going in Jiangbei lately? Didn't our Biyuan have direct contact with them last time? I don't even know how things are going."
Biyuan!
Wait, they're from Biyuan!
I stood frozen at the doorway.
I only learned about the name Biyuan from Chen Yefei two days ago.
Regarding this Biyuan, all I know is that it is located in the north of Jiajiang City, but I have no idea about the specifics.
However, judging from the information they gathered, it seems that Biyuan has a conflict with Jiangbei.
Wait a minute, that fat guy just said that Biyuan and Jiangbei had direct contact some time ago. Could it be that the injured people that Jiangbei sent over in the past two weeks were caused by their contact with Biyuan?
No wonder so many of the injured were shot; now I understand.
Before long, someone answered the fat man's question.
"Well, the result was, of course, that we won. As for Jiangbei, they can only cower in their dilapidated neighborhood and don't even dare to come out."
"Hahaha, I like this result," the fat man said.
I frowned. If what these guys said was true, it seemed that there were indeed big problems in Jiangbei.
After the fat man finished speaking, he seemed to stand up and said, "Alright, I'm not going to waste any more time with you guys. I'm going down to bring Old Wu back up."
At this point, the fat man prepared to come out.
Looks like it's time for a shift change; I need to find somewhere to hide.
I glanced upstairs, then decisively and quietly ran up. A little while later, the fat man came out and walked downstairs.
But after going upstairs, I suddenly regretted it.
The guy I knocked out when I came in earlier is still downstairs. What if Fatty sees him when he goes down?
They'll definitely know I'm in this building by then.
My brows furrowed, and I was a little conflicted about what to do.
Kill them all? That's not impossible. This group is from Biyuan, they're enemies of Jiangbei, and now they're monitoring the school. Getting rid of them would be good.
But I don't know their numbers or equipment right now, which is really worrying.
In that case, the only option is a sneak attack!
If we launch a sneak attack, we must eliminate them in the shortest possible time, or the consequences will be dire.
I took a deep breath, guessing that the fat guy was already downstairs.
I carefully hid at the top of the stairs between the second and third floors, raised my gun, and pointed it at the door on the second floor, ready at any moment.
Just then, the fat man who was coming downstairs noticed the people outside and shouted, "Watch out! Someone has spotted us! Find him quickly!"
I smiled. I was afraid you wouldn't shout. As long as you shout, I'll have a chance to kill you all.
After the fat man shouted, everyone on the second floor started moving and rushed towards the door.
I fired as soon as they stepped out the door.
The moment the gunshot rang out, the two men at the front were instantly killed, collapsing and dying on the upper floor.
