This time, the information was the most accurate. After all, the whole city was involved. So, they took a gamble and waited here for Wang Yun.

What started as an escape for two quickly expanded to a team of four. Moreover, according to Little Gang, they had a few more companions in the area.

As the four of them ran quickly toward the passage, Wang Yun clearly heard footsteps behind them.

Captain Dragon Hand and his team had caught up.

“Not good. When you showed up earlier, I opened the iron door to the passage in my haste. I thought you were program inspectors lying in ambush and left an escape route. I forgot to close it,” Wang Yun suddenly stopped and urgently said to everyone.

“I’ll go close it.”

“No time, they’ve already reached the upper floors. When they see the rooftop door is locked, they’ll come back down. Two flights of stairs, five seconds. The sound of closing the iron door will attract their attention,” Wang Yun quickly whispered.

“So, Boss, what do you suggest?”

Little Gang and Mosquito exchanged glances, gripping their guns and iron rods tightly.

In the darkness, Wang Yun’s eyes were filled with determination and killing intent.

Since they couldn’t hide, they had to face them head-on.

“Let’s do this! Get ready for a fight,” Wang Yun growled, setting Brother Hu down and hiding him in a corner.

There was a metal sheet in front that could offer some protection if things got rough.

“I’ll open the iron door a bit more to lure them in. This is a poison powder. The production team confirmed it. Inhalation causes short-term dizziness and long-term exposure can be fatal. The other side is prepared, so we need to eliminate them quietly. There’s backup below. Don’t make too much noise. Put your gun away. Gunshots attract too much attention. You can use the iron rod. Remember, this time we need to be quick, accurate, and ruthless,” Wang Yun said quickly.

Footsteps could already be heard above, descending rapidly. Wang Yun immediately went forward and pushed the iron door, which made a creaking rusty sound.

At this moment, the previously chaotic footsteps suddenly stopped.

“Shh, something’s up!”

Captain Dragon Hand had just come down from the top floor and noticed that the rooftop door was closed, meaning Wang Yun was still in the building.

He was considering sealing off the entire building when he heard the door creak.

“It’s Wang Yun, be careful.”

Captain Dragon Hand warned his six team members cautiously. He gestured, and all the team members immediately put on gas masks.

They had previously suffered from Wang Yun’s poison powder and didn’t want to fall for it again.

“Fourth floor!”

Captain Dragon Hand didn’t say another word. He held up four fingers and then pointed to the left.

This old residential building was a traditional tube building. It wasn’t very tall, only seven floors, but each floor had eight units. The apartments were small, similar to the old alleyways from childhood.

The corridor was filled with all sorts of miscellaneous items: bicycles, children’s toys, rain shelters, shoe cabinets, and more.

The passage was quite narrow.

Despite the poor living conditions, this neighborhood had a strong sense of community. The residents here had very good relationships with each other. Some even left their doors open, making it a safe place.

Captain Dragon Hand believed that Wang Yun must have randomly found an open door to hide in. Otherwise, he would have to be a magician to disappear.

Captain Dragon Hand followed the sound precisely to the fourth floor. He slowed his steps and crouched down.

Right in front of him, in the corridor, was an iron door slightly ajar.

The door was swaying slightly, indicating someone had just gone through.

Captain Dragon Hand gestured, and the program inspectors behind him quickly moved to both sides of the corridor, gripping their guns, backs against the walls.

They were all on high alert.

The leading four program inspectors suddenly dashed forward, guns raised, and began to cautiously approach the iron door.

Their steps were so light that you couldn’t hear any sound if you weren’t listening carefully.

***

“They’re coming.”

Wang Yun, Little Gang, and Mosquito were standing on either side of the iron door.

With his exceptional hearing, Wang Yun could judge the distance by the sound of footsteps.

Five meters, four meters… one meter.

As soon as Wang Yun finished holding up one finger, he suddenly yanked the iron door open.

Bang!

Just as the inspector was about to kick the door, it suddenly opened. His kick hit nothing but air, causing him to lose his balance and fall headfirst inside.

The inspector barely had time to react before an iron rod appeared above his head. Then, he heard the staff’s voice in his earpiece.

“The iron rod has hit your head. You are eliminated.”

***

“Number Seven,” Captain Dragon Hand shouted as he saw his team member fall inside.

“Don’t go in!”

But it was too late. The inspector behind Number Seven instinctively rushed in.

As they charged in, they were met with complete darkness.

Captain Dragon Hand’s voice echoed from outside, but it was too late. Within seconds, Wang Yun subdued the two inspectors, rendering them immobile.

It all happened in just two seconds.

“Who are you people? What are you doing in my house?!”

Just as Captain Dragon Hand was about to use his walkie-talkie to call for backup, an elderly voice came from inside the iron door.

The voice was Wang Yun’s.

His mastery of ventriloquism allowed him to mimic an old man’s voice perfectly.

“Oh no, I’m so sorry, sir, we made a mistake.”

Number Seven’s voice followed immediately.

“Sorry!”

The other two inspectors echoed their apologies.

“Captain, it seems like we made a mistake.”

Captain Dragon Hand heard the voices inside, and his men looked at him awkwardly.

“Huh?” Captain Dragon Hand was also confused.

The three remaining program inspectors quickly put away their guns, planning to go explain to the old man. But as they reached the iron door and to looked inside, Captain Dragon Hand’s shout echoed again from behind.

“It’s ventriloquism! It’s Wang Yun’s ventriloquism!”

His warning came too late. Before the three could react, they were yanked inside.

Three muffled sounds came, and in the next moment, a figure that filled Captain Dragon Hand with fury emerged.

“Captain Dragon Hand, we meet again.”

Wang Yun tossed the iron rod to the ground, spread his hands, and looked at his familiar old friend with a slight smirk.

“It really is you. You, you’re so cunning.”

Captain Dragon Hand was stunned. Every time, he was a step behind Wang Yun. And this single step had cost him six men.

As Wang Yun watched Captain Dragon Hand seething with rage, his hands trembling as they slowly moved toward his walkie-talkie, his eyes filled with a murderous glare. Wang Yun couldn’t help but shrug.

“You just don’t know me well enough. What, Captain Dragon Hand, you’re not planning to call for backup, are you? Right now, it’s just you and me, 1v1. A perfect opportunity. Don’t you want to capture me yourself and avenge your comrades?”
