Chapter 319 Gathering Intelligence



After leaving the courtyard, Xu Xiangyang found a place and disguised himself.

This has become the norm; you have to change clothes before going out.

But it's a good habit, because if someone finds out, he won't even know.

Sometimes when you're walking down the street, someone might see you.

It's fine if you don't know him, but since he's already been targeted by Cao Yajun, the chances of him being recognized are very high if he doesn't disguise himself.

He wandered around for a while, and then arrived at the address of the small courtyard that Qian Wenqing had given him earlier.

He didn't go to the suburbs today because there are too many people there, and he needs to find a better opportunity.

Xu Xiangyang reached the base of the wall, but this time he didn't immediately climb up. Instead, he listened to the sounds from outside for a while.

Having learned his lesson from Jiang Wu, he was afraid that if there were any more small bells on the wall, it would alert the people in the yard.

Therefore, he listened to the sounds first before taking any action.

There was no sound in the courtyard. Xu Xiangyang had been sitting outside for half an hour, but there wasn't even a sound of a door opening.

He was somewhat puzzled, but did not act immediately.

It's only eight o'clock in the evening, there's still plenty of time. Besides, he noticed earlier that the lights were on in the room, so there must be someone inside.

Then there's no need to rush. He's still alert at this time, and any noise he makes will be heard.

Xu Xiangyang waited until after nine o'clock before he heard someone open the door. He hid inside the space and listened.

They must be going to the restroom; they're walking towards the back.

In typical courtyard layouts, the toilets are usually located behind the houses.

This is the typical structure, and Xu Xiangyang's house is located next to the front wall.

However, it gets unbearable in the summer; you can smell a stench as soon as you enter the courtyard.

He usually goes into his spatial dimension, so there's no need to worry.

A few minutes later, Xu Xiangyang heard the sound of the door opening and closing again.

He waited until ten o'clock before climbing the ladder and looking inside through the wall.

Sure enough, there was a row of bells on the wall, but since they were fixed to the wall, they usually wouldn't ring unless you climbed over it.

If it's windy season and the bells keep ringing, nobody can stand it.

Therefore, the placement of these bells is very particular.

Unfortunately, in his presence, all of this was just decoration and completely useless.

He jumped in close to the wall, then entered the space just before landing, and came out of the space again. This way, he cushioned the impact and didn't fall.

Xu Xiangyang immediately pressed himself against the wall upon landing, using the blind spot to conceal himself.

After a while, not hearing any sound, he continued to feel his way to the base of the wall and hid by the window.

Luckily I wore soft-soled shoes, otherwise it would have been difficult to walk without making noise on the pebbles in the yard.

Unless you roll around on the spot and keep rolling all the way here, that obviously won't work either.

It's so dirty!

Xu Xiangyang frowned, then listened quietly in the space.

Of course, you can't just squat down by the wall; it'll be easy for someone to spot you.

Better safe than sorry. Since we have this convenient space, why not take advantage of it?

Just then, a sound came from inside the house.

"Third brother, go out and keep watch. It's already past ten o'clock."

"Oh, I know," a lazy voice said, followed by the sound of shoes being put on.

Xu Xiangyang looked out over the yard. In the corner was a wooden shack that looked like a toilet.

However, there is a large window inside, which must be where the night watchman's office is located.

Sure enough, the door opened casually, and a short, stout man came out and went into the small wooden hut.

Soon, the faint light of a kerosene lamp lit up inside.

Xu Xiangyang couldn't come out at this point; anyone who went over would definitely notice.

He wasn't in a hurry, so he just sat in the space watching, eating sunflower seeds and fruit at the same time.

So relaxing...

When it was midnight, Xu Xiangyang saw that the fat man on night watch had fallen asleep and everyone in the room had gone to bed. He then went out and walked towards the warehouse.

After a series of actions, he entered the warehouse, which contained almost the same items as last time.

These are all food items, probably from some food factory.

Xu Xiangyang did not take these things away, after all, in other people's eyes these might be good things.

But in his eyes, and in Cao Yajun's eyes, these things could be obtained with money or connections, and were not good things.

Moreover, Cao Yajun was not seriously injured in these two incidents. He might feel a little heartache over the Rehmannia pills, but that was all.

He remembered the place Qian Wenqing had mentioned during the day, but now was not a good time to explore it.

Moreover, he had a premonition that this was probably a trap set by Cao Yajun.

He didn't know why, but he just had this feeling.

The entire investigation went too smoothly, to the point that Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but have doubts.

But we still have to go where we're supposed to go, but we can't just rush in headfirst like that.

There are other ways to gather intelligence about the enemy.

Xu Xiangyang locked the door again, then quietly climbed over the wall and left.

As he passed the alley entrance, he saw several people walking this way, so he quickly entered his spatial dimension.

It was too strange to find someone on the road in the middle of the night. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided not to continue walking and instead hid.

The group continued talking as they approached Xu Xiangyang.

"Brother Wu, I think Brother Jun is just too cautious. There's no way he'll come."

"Shut up!" Jiang Wu sneered, then glanced around before continuing to walk.

"Is it really necessary?" The person who had just spoken was somewhat puzzled; this was making a big fuss over nothing.

Jiang Wu said harshly, "If you say that again, you don't need to come tomorrow!"

This person is such a pig-brain, discussing such private matters in public. What if someone overhears them?

It's better to be safe than sorry!

Especially that night, he didn't know what happened, someone actually got through such a high wall without him even realizing it!

This made him a little worried. Was he someone who knew martial arts?

They only know a little bit of skill; in front of those people, their skills wouldn't stand a chance.

The group walked further and further away, and Xu Xiangyang watched them leave without following them.

It's no use going now; they're just camping out there.

From the conversation just now, it's clear that this was planned.

Xu Xiangyang was also somewhat relieved that he hadn't been so short-sighted as to take the warehouse's contents with him.

This way, we neither alerted them nor made them realize that we already knew about this place.

However, he knew that he needed to be more cautious in his actions from now on.

That Jiang Wu is no ordinary person. Even the way he walks is different from others; he must know a thing or two.

Xu Xiangyang doesn't know martial arts or cultivate immortality, so how can he confront them head-on?

But it's okay, he's not afraid.

As long as there's space, he'll secretly make his move, acting as the sixth brother! He'll scheme against them!

You say this is too despicable?

That's not right. As long as it succeeds, any means are acceptable, since he hasn't harmed any innocent people.

After all, the other party is trying to harm us, so we're all in the same boat.
