Chapter Fifteen: Knife Scar

  "Slap!"

  Not far away, a sudden sound of tree branches being trampled on the ground came over.

  "Someone!"

  Suddenly alarmed in his heart, Li Han hastily ducked down and then rolled on the ground, rolling over to a nearby place with lush weeds!

  "Mom, keep your voice down!"

  A man's deliberately suppressed voice came from the darkness, "Gu Biao, do you want everyone to know we're here?"

  "Ah... sorry, Scar." A slightly panicked male voice also came from the darkness.

  "Two people, one in front of the other, less than a step apart!"

  Because the night vision goggles on his face had never been taken off, Li Han only slightly raised his head and figured out the situation. The pistol with a silencer installed at his waist was also held in his hand, but he didn't fire. He planned to observe the situation first, after all, the silencer could only reduce some of the explosive sounds caused by the friction between the bullets and the air when they were fired, and couldn't completely eliminate the sound. The thicket where he was located was near the quiet backyard of the Yi Manor, and he had already figured out some of the situation inside in the afternoon, because it was where Gui Sheng's wives, concubines, and maids lived, so there were still some hidden guards nearby, if possible, it would be best not to fire a shot!

  After listening quietly for a while, as expected, it wasn't long before the two people near the dark wall where he had been waiting earlier made some noise. The man who had spoken first suddenly stuck his head against the wall and knocked three times, twice heavily and once lightly. After a few moments, he turned back around, "Alright, I've arranged for the people inside to be moved away, it's safe for half an hour. You keep watch here for me. If there's even the slightest noise, come in immediately and notify me, you know where. But if nothing happens, don't come over to disturb me, got it?"

  After knowing that there was no one around, the man's voice also became a few decibels louder, and by the end, he was shouting loudly!

  "Yes, Scarface. You can rest assured, I'll take care of it!"

  The man's chest thudded with a loud bang, but the man didn't say anything else. He turned around and felt his way to find the several concave holes on the wall, then quickly crossed over the wall that was more than two men high, disappearing from Li Han's line of sight.

  "Is this... an otaku?"

  A strange expression flashed across his face, and Li Han's mouth crooked to one side, with a sly smile in his heart. I said who was so cruel, digging holes in the back wall of someone else's family residence! Feelings... feelings are like the red apricot blossoming outside the wall... The corner of his eye curved, revealing a hint of a smile, guessing that guy named Kui Sheng must not be very capable, thinking about it, wasn't it said by that one-eyed dragon under him that he wanted to get another small concubine for him? With over 20 wives and concubines, even an iron man would be squeezed dry.

  Suppressing his smile, he estimated that the man known as 'Scarface' should have walked far enough away. Li Han carefully and quietly moved over to him, hugging the wall root, and the guy who was left behind to eat mosquitoes here obviously didn't think someone would sneak up on him. When he touched the dark grass beside him, he could still hear his faint curses, clearly somewhat unhappy.

  "Don't move!"

  With a sudden burst of force, Li Han's left hand slammed onto his left shoulder with a loud "click", directly disarming him. A silencer-equipped handgun was pressed against his temple, "Be honest with me, or else don't blame my gun for not recognizing people!"

  "Ah~~~~"

  Feeling the chill on his forehead, although his left arm was in so much pain that it brought tears to his eyes, but as soon as he heard the cold tone of the person who had snuck up behind him, the man named Ah Piao's legs immediately went weak, "G...good fellow... spare my life... spare my life..."

  "Shut up, don't play tricks on me... I ask, you answer. If you answer well, I'll spare your life. But if you dare to tell me a lie... Hmph... You won't see the sun tomorrow..."

  "Right, right, right... good... good fellow..."

  Li Han nodded and asked, "I'll ask you, who is that person who just went in, where are they going?"

  "Ah..." Abiao hesitated for a moment, after all, the fact that he could be brought by that man who had already sneaked in under the cover of darkness was enough to explain everything. If he wasn't someone trustworthy, would he even let him take care of things when he met his lover?

  However, he felt the muzzle of the gun suddenly tightening above his forehead, and Li Han also specially opened the safety catch at this time. He didn't dare hesitate anymore, and immediately struggled to indicate that he wanted to speak.

  "Good...good fellow spare my life...I say,I say..."

  "Just then, in slipped our Scarface, nicknamed Knife Scar. He was headed somewhere, probably to a thatched hut behind the quiet little pavilion in the left corner of the bamboo grove in the backyard... Good fellow... I've said all I know... Spare me..."

  "Boom!"

  A heavy hand knife chopped down on the back of his head, knocking him out cold. Li Han quickly untied the belt around his waist and bound his hands and feet together before pushing him into a nearby thicket. He thought that even if he woke up, as long as he had some brains, he wouldn't dare make a sound, which was enough!

  He nimbly climbed up the hole left by the man, and such high-altitude training was a common occurrence in his military days, so it wasn't difficult for him at all!

  "Slap~~~~"

  He gently fell to the ground, and Li Han carefully rolled away from the original location. Only after that did he pick up his gun, cautiously scanning the surroundings with the night vision mirror. After not finding any hidden sentries or ambushes, he identified the direction, crouched down, and stuck close to the wall root, heading towards a certain place in the backyard where there was a bamboo forest and a thatched cottage.

  The term "Scarface" was initially unknown to him, but when the informant yelled out "Knife Scar", he suddenly remembered that during his reconnaissance in the afternoon, he had knocked out an informant who revealed that the man with the second highest power in the righteous village, next only to the Dragon Head Kui Sheng, was none other than Knife Scar, also known as "Scarface"!

  "If we catch him, we should be able to ask where Quan Sheng is now, right?"

  Although he wasn't quite sure in his heart, the Chinese people who hadn't experienced twenty years of domestic warlord strife were still very wealthy. Li Han roughly browsed around the courtyard, if this was placed in later generations, such a large building complex, without hundreds of millions it can't be bought, let alone that the Zhao family, which had usurped the nest of the magpie, could really live up to its reputation as a hundred-year-old family.

  With the help of darkness, walking in the shadows, after traversing three connected courtyards, finally, in the central area surrounded by many small courtyards, a garden-style building with artificial hills and ponds was found. After slightly adjusting the focus of the night vision goggles, sure enough, at its left corner, Li Han discovered a thatched hut that seemed to be used for storing miscellaneous items.

  A flash of excitement flickered in his eyes, and Li Han hastily reached out to touch it!
