Lu Ziyang smiled but didn’t affirm or deny. “If we’re going to arrest him, we’re going to have to enter. We can’t very well expect to stand outside and wait for him to surrender by himself.”
He then waved a hand. “But we need to wait for a while. I have to check if he has set up any traps outside.”
Like a Doraemon, Lu Ziyang could detect anything. He retrieved a square-shaped device from his car, but Gu Qingjiu couldn’t tell what use it was for.
Lu Ziyang led Gu Qingjiu into the forest, holding that device in his hands.
Although the villa felt very near viewing it through the binoculars, it was, in fact, quite a distance away.
By the time Gu Qingjiu could catch a glimpse of the villa’s shadow in the darkness, nearly half an hour had passed.
It was in the middle of the night and deathly quiet.
One’s nerves couldn’t help but tense.
The night breeze blowing at them made one feel like someone was blowing air into their ears.
She could feel her hairs standing on end.
Although Gu Qingjiu didn’t fear all these, she felt uneasy and nervous for some reason.
As they gradually neared the villa, Lu Ziyang made a gesture for them to stop.
Other than the villa with dilapidated walls in front, Gu Qingjiu couldn’t see any figure through the binoculars in her hands.
If a human figure should appear, Gu Qingjiu would immediately be able to sense it.
But right now, Gu Qingjiu didn’t sense anything.
She made an ‘OK’ hand gesture, then entered the villa with Lu Ziyang through a run-down entrance.
The duo moved extremely cautiously, careful not to alert anyone in the villa.
Perhaps because it was already too late, the person hidden within was already resting.
Gu Qingjiu wasn’t sure why Lu Ziyang was so confident he was in the villa. But since he had said so, she had to be extremely careful.
With taut nerves, every single sound around her amplified in her ears.
Even the imperceptible sounds Lu Ziyang made as he stepped on the sand bits and uneven ground.
It was pitch-dark inside the villa, but the duo couldn’t possibly turn on any lights. All they had to rely on was their eyes, which had grown accustomed to the dark.
There were three floors in this villa, and on the topmost level, there was space where one could rest.
This villa was massive, at least much bigger than those villas lined up side-by-side in the city center.
Because there were no restrictions or qualms on building a villa in such suburbs, the owner could construct it to be as big as he would like.
The huge area occupied meant greater difficulty in navigating this place.
Just as they moved towards the center of the villa, Gu Qingjiu suddenly felt very subtly uneasy.
As though something in the dark was staring at her.
Ferocious, murderous intent filled that gaze.
Other than the sense of uneasiness, Gu Qingjiu also felt her soul tremble…
It was the first time she experienced such volatile emotions.
She grabbed one of Lu Ziyang’s arms and heavily pinched his wrist with her fingernails.
To remind Lu Ziyang that this felon had discovered them.
Feigning ignorance, Lu Ziyang continued moving ahead.
As for Gu Qingjiu, she was trying to perceive which direction this person was at.
This person’s gaze was filled with intense killing intent, giving Gu Qingjiu a definite direction.
Sensing in that direction, Gu Qingjiu adjusted the fingers on her right hand…
The felon was to her right.
