A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Mancheng's mouth, and he made a gesture of receiving money as he spoke, as if what was passed in his hand was not only a coin, but also some kind of heavy commitment and responsibility.

He skillfully and naturally took the banknote in Zhou Yunzhen's hand, and behind the seemingly ordinary scene, there was actually an unknown undercurrent surging between the two.

With the completion of this series of actions, the two stepped out of the courtyard gate full of historical charm one after the other. The world outside the door is bustling, and the world inside the door is quiet and deep, in stark contrast.

Jiang Mancheng turned around and solemnly closed the door that carried the traces of time.

Then, with a slight twist of his wrist, a crisp "click" resounded in the silent alley, it was the sound of the door lock falling, as if sealing all the secrets in the courtyard.

Jiang Mancheng's figure quickly melted into the night, like a cunning cat quietly disappearing into the corners and alleys, leaving only the aroma of tobacco in the air that had not yet dissipated and the unpredictable back.

At the same time, Zhou Yunzhen's gaze followed the direction of Jiang Mancheng's departure, but in the next moment, his figure flashed, light as a swallow, skillfully avoiding all angles that might be noticed.

He quietly came to a corner that was extremely hidden.

Using the shadow of the building as a cover, he used his strength in an instant, and his figure jumped up like a fallen leaf, and then fell gently like a feather into the courtyard that had just been locked.

Yun Zhen is like a cheetah, silently lurking in that hidden corner tightly embraced by shadows.

The place was cleverly avoided from all possible sights in the house, and even the most astute person could not detect his presence from a normal perspective, like an invisible barrier separating him from danger.

His back was against the cold wall, his breath was as light as a breeze, and the sound of his heartbeat was almost drowned out in the silence of the night.

The reason why he did not choose to go straight to the tiger's den in Longtan with an indomitable momentum was not because of fear or hesitation, but because of his reason and calmness.

Although it is not impossible for Zhou Yunzhen to fight three opponents with his bare hands with his tough and solid kung fu, his wisdom tells him that strength does not solve all problems.

He knew very well that the other party was not an idle person, but had a ruthless modern weapon - guns.

Once the conflict breaks out, no matter how vigorous his skills are, how fast his movements are, no matter how high his martial arts are, he will look extremely pale and powerless in the face of bullets.

That kind of power that can decide life and death in an instant is enough to make any martial arts master a living target, vulnerable to attack.

Therefore, Zhou Yunzhen chose to lurk and wait, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, which is his unique interpretation of survival wisdom and a deep understanding of the delicate balance between modern force and traditional kung fu.

However, with his hearing beyond ordinary people, Zhou Yunzhen captured a strange existence.

Although the room was not half lighted and dark, a faint but clear sound quietly drifted into his ears through the cracks in the wall.

It wasn't an ordinary sound, but a unique movement full of secrets and intrigue, as nerve-wracking as a cat's claw touching the edge of a glass.

Zhou Yunzhen, at this moment, was quietly adjusting his breathing in the white belly of the fish at dawn, and tightened his body to the best fighting state.

His eyes were like falcons, shining with a fearless light in the dark night, and he silently thought in his heart: even in the face of unknown dangers, he must capture the escaped prisoner alive.

Because once they are allowed to die unexpectedly or escape, then those intricate clues will be broken, and the betrayers hidden inside will not be able to find out.

This will undoubtedly bring great hidden dangers to the whole incident, and may even trigger a series of unpredictable chain reactions.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the air was tense and mysterious.

Sure enough, just as Zhou Yunzhen was waiting with bated breath, a door opened quietly in silence, making a slight frictional sound that was almost imperceptible.

A figure sneakily leaned out, cautiously peering out, trying to confirm that the surroundings were safe.

However, to Zhou Yunzhen's surprise, when he gained insight into the silhouette of the figure with the help of faint light and years of experience, his intuition told him that it was not the prison escape he had been looking for, but a woman.

Zhou Yunzhen looked at it and saw that this was a curvy, young and beautiful woman.

Zhou Yunzhen's keen eyes widened, and his heart swelled with incredible confusion.

He couldn't make the woman in front of him with the image of the cunning and sinister outlaw.

However, judging from her calm and free state of action at the moment, it is clear that she is not a coerced person, but seems to have unknowingly integrated into this dangerous game.

He didn't move, he stood silently in place, like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity to move. Gaze ahead like a sculpture.

At this moment, the woman who had quietly poked her head out before brought the door and disappeared behind the door like a cunning fox.

Zhou Yunzhen secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that this woman was really unaware of the abnormalities around her? Or was her vigilance high enough to hide her inner turmoil, so much so that he couldn't see through it on the surface?

The cunning and patience of the criminals obviously exceeded Zhou Yunzhen's expectations, and they did not seem to be in a hurry to show their feet, but chose to continue to lurk in this intricate puzzle, waiting for the opportunity, until the group of public security officers who were in full swing to pursue finally withdrew their troops due to no results.

All kinds of speculations rolled in Zhou Yunzhen's mind, and his thoughts were like a dense web, trying to catch any clues that might reveal the truth.

However, such a situation is undoubtedly the best strategic layout for Zhou Yunzhen.

Once the torrent of reinforcements descends from the sky, the infanciers and these outlaws will be surrounded by a sea of birds, and even the wings of the birds will not be able to find a way to escape, and they will only be restrained in despair and powerlessness.

He knows that in this battle of strength and resourcefulness, every moment of patience can be a crucial turning point in the final decision.

The sound of reinforcements' horns seemed to be faintly heard in the distance, and Zhou Yunzhen knew in his heart that the arrival of that moment meant that the enemy who was still trapped in the beast would face a real desperate situation.

And he, just wait quietly until that moment comes, and then let those opponents who can't escape completely defeat.

However, the cruel truth is like a sharp pair of scissors, ruthlessly tearing apart Zhou Yunzhen's carefully woven ideas.
