Chapter 186: He Yuzhu Arrests People in the Barracks

~9 min read 1,752 words

He Yuzhu took advantage of the momentum to roll, nimbly sliding under the truck, his hands gripping the frame of the chassis tightly. The truck jolted all the way, carrying him into a heavily guarded compound.

This barracks occupied an extremely vast area, its scale far exceeding his imagination.

Under the cover of night and shadows, he searched carefully, taking nearly an hour before finally locating Bureau Chief Xu's residence.

He stealthily crept to the wall and used the system to conduct a Scanning.

This was a relatively Duli courtyard, covering about two mu, with guard rooms in both the front and back yards, each containing four guards.

These four men each guarded a direction, strictly monitoring the surroundings through the windows.

At this moment, if he wanted to force his way in, the risk would be extremely high.

Once his tracks were exposed, in this barracks stationed with tens of thousands of soldiers, he would likely have no way to escape even with wings.

"I must wait for the right moment," He Yuzhu thought to himself, "I must wait until they change shifts, or until the deepest part of the night when they are most sleepy before acting."

With a thought, he entered his own space to wait.

Three o'clock in the morning was the moment in the day when the human body was most exhausted.

He Yuzhu quietly flashed out of the space and climbed the high wall like a civet cat.

Looking through the system Scanning, he was scared out of his wits; if he had just jumped into the yard, it would certainly have been a dead end.

The layout of this yard was simply filled with murderous intent; apart from a winding stone path in the middle, the rest of the empty space was densely packed with dozens of Landmines. For an ordinary person to break in, it would absolutely be a narrow escape from death.

"This Bureau Chief Xu is ruthless enough!" he thought to himself.

He Yuzhu moved his mind slightly, and the nearby Landmines were taken into his space, clearing a safe patch of ground.

He landed lightly on the ground without making a single sound.

In the front yard guard room, the four guards were dozing off, and faint snoring could even be heard.

He Yuzhu approached slowly, and when he was less than three meters away, he instantly took all of them into his space.

Using the same method, the four guards in the back yard also disappeared without a sound.

He held his breath and focused, coming to the window of the main room, but when he looked inside, he couldn't help but be stunned.

This was not the luxurious bedroom he had expected, but three connected large heated brick beds!

Seven or eight big men were lying on them, fast asleep.

Could it be that Bureau Chief Xu was so unconcerned with formalities that he lived in the same room as his guards?

He Yuzhu was a bit shocked by this "bizarre" approach.

"Whatever, take them away first and then screen them!" he made up his mind.

Seeing that the part of the communal bed near the south was within his three-meter collection range, he did not hesitate to take them all into his space.

Even if Bureau Chief Xu was not here tonight, he would just have to accept it.

After collecting the people nearby, he discovered that the large communal bed on the north side was beyond the three-meter range.

He could not hesitate any longer! He Yuzhu smashed the glass and crashed through the door!

"Clatter—!" The crisp sound of shattering was exceptionally harsh in the silent night.

The four people on the bed woke up instantly, trained to reach under their pillows for their guns.

He Yuzhu reacted faster; with a flick of his hand, two cold glints shot out!

"Swish! Swish!" The Flying Knives precisely sank into the throats of two of them.

The other two had already gripped their guns, their fingers about to pull the safety.

Two more cold glints flashed by!

"Puff! Puff!" The Flying Knives hit their vital points as well.

Those two men's hands loosened powerlessly from the gun grips, trying in vain to pull out the sharp blades from their throats; only a "he-he" wheezing sound could come from their throats as their bodies collapsed softly.

He Yuzhu quickly took these corpses into his space as well.

He quickly checked the dormitory but found nothing of value; it seemed this was just a place for sleeping, so he turned toward the back yard.

In one of the side rooms, he found a safe—this must be where Bureau Chief Xu kept confidential documents and daily office supplies.

He Yuzhu did not hesitate and took everything in the room he deemed useful into his space.

He carefully searched the entire courtyard one more time, and after confirming there were no omissions, he leaped over the high wall and left the barracks.

He hurried all the way back to the vicinity of the No. 95 Siheyuan, only to find figures secretly monitoring outside the courtyard.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but shake his head, sneering in his heart: "This Shen Shichang, what exactly does he want to do? Knowing full well that putting these small fry here can't keep an eye on me, he still insists on coming to annoy me."

He did not stop, turning and walking straight toward the Qianmen direction.

Passing by Chen Xueru's shop, he looked at the tightly closed door and suddenly had a whim to play the "immortal in a painting" for once.

He skillfully picked the lock from the outside, slipped into the shop, and with a thought, placed dozens of wooden mannequins he had taken from his space in front of the windows.

Seeing that the storage cabinets in the shop were not yet finished and the area looked a bit empty, he simply placed several leather sofas he had collected from the United States villa to the side, providing them for customers to rest.

Believe it or not, these Italian sofas, placed in the Chinese-style decorated shop, actually created a wonderful, eclectic aesthetic that was quite unique.

He Yuzhu strolled up to the second floor, which was the Manager's office.

He also put out a comfortable sofa, then lay down fully clothed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he was awakened by the sound of someone talking to themselves downstairs: "This kid is really weird, he didn't even say a word when delivering things, just snuck in himself..."

He Yuzhu rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked down the stairs, seeing Chen Xueru touching the mannequins and talking to herself: "Must hurry and put clothes on them, it's indecent!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "It was my lack of consideration. I delivered them at night, it was too late, and I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I, I just opened the door and came in myself."

Chen Xueru looked back and saw it was He Yuzhu; a surprised smile bloomed on her face as she asked: "You... you didn't sleep upstairs, did you?"

He Yuzhu nodded and casually made up an excuse: "My friend drove to Tianjin overnight; it was late, I didn't want to go home, so I just made do upstairs for the night."

Chen Xueru's gaze swept over the expensive sofas, and she asked: "I've seen these things at the Lou Family's; they must be very expensive, right? I'll pay you."

"Forget it," He Yuzhu waved his hand, "just consider it a congratulatory gift from me for your new shop opening; you can just treat me to a meal."

"Then... you're going to say I'm crossing the river and tearing down the bridge again!" Chen Xueru stomped her foot coquettishly.

"As for me, I only care about how others treat me; I don't care about those material things," He Yuzhu said with a calm smile.

"Shall we go? Let me treat you to breakfast?" Chen Xueru invited.

"I, I'm going to eat four bowls of fried liver and twenty jin of steamed buns," He Yuzhu said with a straight face.

"You... are you serious? You can eat that much?" Chen Xueru widened her charming eyes in disbelief.

"That's not it; I need to go to a place to bring some food to my relatives," He Yuzhu explained.

"Fine, I'll satisfy you! At worst, I'll just buy out the breakfast shop for today!" Chen Xueru waved her hand with bravado.

"It's a deal, don't regret it."

"You...!"

In the end, not only was He Yuzhu full and satisfied, but he also really took away over forty jin of steamed buns.

Chen Xueru stood where she was, watching his retreating back, blinking her large eyes, and whispered to herself: "This person... is truly strange!"

He Yuzhu wandered around the Qianmen area for a while, found an empty corner to store the buns in his space, and then turned to go find Wang Jiazhi.

As soon as Wang Jiazhi saw him, she nervously pulled him into a secluded storage room and asked urgently: "What's the matter with you coming over so early?"

"That's a fine thing to say; now that you're doing well, you don't want to see me anymore, is that it?" He Yuzhu joked.

"No!" Wang Jiazhi's expression was grave. "Xiangxiu said that yesterday you... those people who went to He Ji Restaurant to cause trouble! Shen Shichang definitely won't let this go! Your situation is very dangerous right now, why are you still running around everywhere!"

"I'm here today to deliver a massive merit to you; I got my hands on a safe belonging to the Bureau Chief of the Beiping Secret Service Bureau, and there are quite a few things inside."

"Are you telling the truth?" Wang Jiazhi suddenly widened her eyes, her breathing quickening slightly.

"Of course, I'll bring it to you in a moment," He Yuzhu nodded affirmatively.

"This... this matter is too big! I must report it to my superiors immediately!" Wang Jiazhi suppressed the excitement in her heart.

"Also, I happened to capture a few people last night, and it's very likely that... the Bureau Chief of the Beiping Secret Service Bureau himself is among them."

Wang Jiazhi gasped, feeling that this news was even more shocking than the last. "This matter is too big! I must notify Lao Zhou and have him come over!"
