I changed the world.

It was already past midnight, and the entire Yunshanfang was quiet. A light mist filled the air, and apart from the light from the streetlights and the occasional 24-hour convenience store that was still lit, there were hardly any people to be seen on the streets of Yunshanfang.

Unlike those densely packed neighborhoods, Yunshanfang is part of a scenic area. In terms of architectural distribution, it is a rather fragmented community. The residences are mostly far apart, separated by large tea plantations and forests. Only the scenic roads connect these buildings. There are some scattered commercial buildings, such as teahouses, along the roads, which are also quite far apart and do not form a commercial street.

In the stillness of the night, several dark figures were carefully observing their surroundings. They were positioned at the outer wall of Zhang Jing's residence, with the black-tiled, white-walled Zhang Jing family compound right in front of them.

These people all arrived in a seemingly unremarkable old passenger van. This domestically produced "Flying Swallow" electric vehicle is a model from ten years ago, and it is still quite common on the road today. Many passenger transport drivers prefer to use this model because it is sturdy and the parts are inexpensive.

The car was parked on the side of the road not far from Zhang's residence. The engine was still running, and the driver sat in the driver's seat, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

These men appeared to be strong and muscular, some with tattoos extending to the backs of their bare hands. They were all dressed in tight black clothing, wearing hats pulled low over their shoulders, and masks covering their mouths and noses, obscuring their faces.

Chapter 364 The Calm Young Lady

"Seventh Brother, I've scouted the area; there are no security cameras around here," a short, stocky man whispered to a thin man.

The thin man nodded and said, "Better safe than sorry. If this kid really goes missing, someone will have to come and check. Everyone be careful and don't leave any loose ends when we move out."

"Don't worry, Seventh Brother, we know what we're doing. Besides, we've done this kind of thing before..." a man said with a hoarse voice, his voice like that of a night owl.

"Don't let your guard down. You're all old-timers who've been with Master Yao for a long time, so I won't hold back. If the commune weren't in such a hurry for money lately, even though this sheep is fat, we wouldn't be selling it so hastily. According to the rules, we should wait a while longer and find a more cautious way..."

"Hey, if you ask me, Seventh Brother is just too cautious. He's just a kid who got rich quick by sheer luck, he doesn't have any connections in this area, even if he disappears, no one might even know..."

"Don't be too careless. Everyone be careful. Our target this time is a trained fighter, and according to what we know, he might be quite skilled. Don't let carelessness lead to disaster."

"Seventh Brother, we've brought our weapons this time, don't worry, we won't capsize." A man patted his bulging waist.

"When the time comes, be careful to use the tranquilizer gun first. Don't use a real gun unless absolutely necessary. Our goal is to get money. We can't kill him before he spits out all the money." The thin man looked around.

"Seventh Brother, we understand..."

"Seventh Brother, don't worry, we know what we're doing..."

"That's good. Let me go over the division of labor again. Ah Ji, you and Mud Loach will keep watch at the front and back doors respectively. Mouse is in charge of cutting off the power and disabling any security equipment. Camel is in charge of unlocking the door. The rest of you will follow me in. Ah Hao and Er Pang are in charge of controlling the servants. If there are any... the rest of you will be in charge of controlling the target."

"At this time of day, he's most likely sleeping in the master bedroom of the main house, so once you go in, don't hesitate, go to the master bedroom first..."

..........................................

After the thin man made some final arrangements, the group connected their headsets to confirm the call quality was correct, and then began their operation.

A thin man, who had been called "Rat" earlier, fiddled with a power distribution cabinet outside Zhang's house for a while, then crawled out and gestured to his accomplices that the power to Zhang's house had been cut off.

Immediately afterwards, he ran quickly to the wall, and using the hands of his companion, who was already prepared with his hands crossed and palms facing upwards, he stepped on the wall. As he stepped on, his companion pushed upwards with both hands, and the rat leaped up onto the wall. After briefly looking around from the top, it flipped down into the courtyard...

"Hey, Seventh Brother, this kid's pretty cocky. I didn't find any security equipment. You guys come in..." A voice came through the earpiece of the thin man waiting outside, and he waved to the side.

A slightly hunched man fiddled with the lock on the door for a few seconds, and in less than thirty seconds, the door clicked open.

In fact, Zhang Jing's front door used only the most ordinary door lock. And because Zhang Jing always found it troublesome, or rather, he didn't care, he didn't install the more common computer locks of today, but only the most primitive mechanical lock. Its technical content was no different from the ordinary door locks in Zhang Jing's previous life.

After easily unlocking the door, the group tiptoed inside, leaving only one person sitting on the ground near a flower bed, holding an empty wine bottle and looking down. Even if someone saw him, they would only assume he was a drunkard who had wandered in and hadn't had enough to drink. Generally, ordinary people would prefer to stay far away from such a person to avoid trouble.

"Squeak... thud..."

Just as the group stepped into the Zhang residence, the vermilion double doors suddenly closed silently with a click.
