Lin Hui inhales a mouthful of the tobacco and walks over to the row of bushes decorating the side of the driveway after sending Xu Long a silent glance.

"Man, I must have drunk too much tonight. I need to go do my business."

Xu Long doesn't question the man's intentions. If they were in a normal situation, he would have lectured Lin Hui for doing such an immoral thing in public when there is a bathroom inside the house.

He chuckles as Lin Hui's figure walks away then turns to the right. A devilish smirk curls on his face, and he walks towards the area the rustling sound had come from.

"I guess I should micturate too."

Both men walked in opposite directions with natural steps like they were oblivious to any of the sounds they had heard and the dark figures they had seen.

It didn't take long before Lin Hui stops in front of the bushes. He puts on the act of a man having to relieve his bladder. However, he doesn't pull his pants down.

He just quietly stood there with a cigarette in his mouth and stares ahead into the darkness. He inhales another deep breath of the tobacco and blows the smoke out.

Only, this time, he blew the cigarette along with the smoke.

"Ah!"

The unfinished cigarette hadn't even landed on the ground when a voice exclaims in pain. Quickly following, a dark silhouette jumps out from behind the bush in front of Lin Hui.

This person's arms wave in every direction in an attempt to get the tossed cigarette off.

Lin Hui watched the scene in front of him unfold, and a glistening light flashes in his eyes as one corner of his mouth raise into a side smirk.

"Well, well, well."

His left-hand stretches out, and he grabs the person by the collar. Getting a firm grip, he forcefully pulls the person wholly and forwards away from the bushes.

"What the"

The person was caught off guard, but before he (the person) could grasp the situation, Lin Hui slams him onto the driveway pavement.

Not giving this person any chance to fight back, Lin Hui struck with his right fist and knocked the person out cold.

He stares down at the now unconscious person with eyes void of any emotions. The light illuminating from the front door did not stretch out far, but it was enough for him to make out any features.

The person lying on the ground was a bald-headed man in his thirties. He had a slim built and looked like any other ordinary person passing by. However, there was a small tattoo on the back of his hand.

Lin Hui couldn't see the entire tattoo, but half was all he needed to make out the piece.

A red moon.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

He clicks his tongue and shakes his head. Whether he was feeling pity for the man he just knocked out or not, no one can tell.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Another man roars from the opposite side of him. He lifts his head away from the unconscious man and looks in the direction the voice came from.

"I am your grandfather!"

Xu Long answers the person as he, too, had caught this man by surprise. However, unlike the man lying in front of Lin Hui, Xu Long's person was a heavy man in weight.

He (heavy man) stares with trembling eyes at Xu Long then subconsciously glance behind at Lin Hui. When he saw his comrade lying lifeless on the ground, he struggles a hard gulp.

"Shit"

He curses a murmur at how they had gotten caught. With him being twice the size of Xu Long, he could have quickly taken down the man (Xu Long), but he doesn't strike an attack.

Instead, he spun around and made a run for it. He believes that since there is a row of bushes between him and Xu Long, he won't be captured easily.

Xu Long watched the man take off at the speed of lightning. He couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head. He looks to the left of him, then back at the man running away.

"Really? The only way in and out is over here, and yet he's running in the wrong direction."

He doesn't hop over the bushes to give chase but casually makes his way to the gate. A small path is set up for one to walk alongside the fence that surrounds the house.

As he walked after the man, there was no trace of worry on his face or Lin Hui, who watched from behind.

If the man were to sneak around back, he would meet Qi Li. Any chance of him breaking inside the house, there is Liu Shan.

While all this took place in the front courtyard, out in the back courtyard, Qi Li calmly walked under the starry sky with a lit cigarette in his left hand.

The only light source to see the ground came from the house, but Qi Li's eyes had long adjusted to the darkness around, even without it.

He doesn't trail alongside the house but makes his way to where the construction equipment and vehicles had been left unattended.

Anyone who saw him would think he was making a final round to check if everything is in place before going to bed.

Despite his head facing forward, his cold and indifferent eyes focused on the open field and the many trees in the distance.

He and the others had concluded six people in total, but there could be more hiding that they were unaware of.

With precise attention to any movements or noises, he soon comes to a stop in front of a pile of metal scraps. He brings the cigarette to his mouth and inhales deeply, making the embers at the end of the cigarette glow brighter.

As he blows the smoke out, the wind that came with night picks up and smoothly carries the smoke away.

However, the smoke wasn't the only thing that disappeared.

Qi Li's tranquil figure that should have been in front of the metal scraps also vanished, leaving no trace of him behind. It was as if he was a ghost that only revealed itself for a brief moment.

"What the heck?"

A man's raspy voice suddenly sounds in shock as he steps out from hiding behind a bulldozer. He was a petite man, but one can see he often worked out.

"Where did he go? I just blinked, and he suddenly disappeared."

Another man's voice sounds from the opposite side where the excavator was parked. This person steps out and reveals himself as a tall and robust man.

He (robust man) walks cautiously towards his comrade but didn't forget to search for Qi Li's figure.

"You saw him, too, right? I mean, that couldn't have been a ghost. It possibly can't be."

The petite man nods his head to let the robust man know that he saw Qi Li too. However, the longer he stared at the spot Qi Li was last seen, he couldn't help but feel pessimistic about the situation.
